Meanwhile with Atticus and the others...
It was not dark yet, but the sun was setting as they floated along in their makeshift raft.
"It's getting late..." Cherry said. "We should get going..."
"She's right." Babs nervously agreed.
"I agree." Atticus said.
"I think we should turn around and get you guys back home..." Mo also nodded.
"What do you say, Buster?" Atticus asked.
"No way, the fun's just getting started!" Buster replied as he was laid back and excited about this whole experience.
"Okay, Atticus, please fly us out of here!" Cherry pleaded.
"Uh, yeah, Cherry, I would, but DRELL TOOK OUR MAGIC AWAY, REMEMBER?!" Atticus reminded, then gestured to his neck. "I don't even have my medallion!"
"You mean we're stuck down river?!" Cherry pulled on her hair. "This is a disaster!"
"Atticus, can't you just fly without your magic?" Mo asked.
This caused Atticus to go face-palm as he remembered he could do that. They were now passing a crooked bridge as there was a possum kid in overalls who was twanging his banjo as they drifted past.
"Well, that was cute and yet creepy." Mo said.
"Don't worry, guys, he's just trying to communicate," Buster said. "After all, music is the universal language." he then waved his one hand and grabbed Babs's hand to make her wave to the possum kid as well.
"Hmm... This music does have a certain rustic genesequa, romantic charm, if you know what I mean~" Babs said before having a dreamy look in her crystal eyes for the blue bunny.
"Uh-oh, looks like you've got yourself a problem, Buster." Cherry smirked.
Buster seemed to panic and then suddenly, Babs pulled him into her arms and started to kiss him all over his muzzle.
"Buster Bunny, are you falling for me?" Babs smiled dreamily as she stroked his ears.
"Uh, you might say that!" Buster replied nervously as they were now going over a waterfall.
"Okay, Atticus you might wanna keep us from falling please." Mo begged.
Suddenly, before anything else could be said or done, someone flew in and saved them from falling.
"Superman?!" Atticus asked in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" Mo asked.
"Hey, pal, this is our story!" Buster glared at the superhero.
"Yeah, get your own fan fic!" Babs added in.
"It's your call..." Superman shrugged and dropped them all out of his arms.
"Okay, that must be the Superman in this world." Atticus said before stopping mid-air flying in the air before catching Buster, Babs, Mo, and Cherry.
Cherry kept screaming and covered her eyes, but then looked once she was caught in mid-air. Buster and Babs were about to tell Atticus this was their show again until they saw that they would have plummeted to the bottom of the waterfall.
"Oh, Atticus, you're so brave and strong..." Mo swooned.
"Why thank you, Mo." Atticus said, acting heroic as he got them all down to the bottom safely.
Mo giggled and squealed.
"Gag..." Cherry rolled her eyes at the two's interaction. "I don't know why I put up with you freaks."
"Because you're friends?" Babs shrugged.
"Please..." Cherry mumbled. "If these guys were my friends, they wouldn't make me come here."
"Cherry, don't be such a sourpuss, we're all friends here and we could at least help each other before we see Drell again and give him a piece of our minds for sending us out here." Mo said.
"We could also find out why the heck he did." Atticus said.
"Who is this Drell guy anyway?" Buster asked. "Is he like the principal of your school or something?"
"No, he's 1,000% worse than that, he's a giant pain in the neck who I want to strangle SO GOSH DARN MUCH!" Cherry sounded more angry than usual.
This caused Buster and Babs to hold each other.
"Cherry, calm down..." Atticus tried.'
"You calm down!" Cherry glared back.
This caused Mo to jump into Atticus's arms, scared.
"Cherry... Relax..." Atticus tried.
Cherry rubbed her head, looking very emotional. "Sorry..."
"Well, at least you got those two love birds to get closer to each other." Mo smirked as she saw Buster and Babs holding each other.
Babs and Buster blushed to that slightly. Mo giggled to them, shwoing her feminine side. Buster then ruined the moment by shooting Babs with his water gun.
"Buster!" Atticus, Cherry, and Mo glared.
"I just couldn't help myself." Buster laughed.
There was then distant rustling in the bushes.
"Quick, everyone behind Atticus!" Cherry called out as she was going to use her best friend as a shield.
"Gee, thanks, Cherry..." Atticus nearly deadpanned.
"Hey, you're the strongest one, Hercules strength or not." Cherry defended.
"Alright, everyone get behind me." Atticus said.
The others did just that. Buster and Babs' teeth chattered nervously.
"Okay, we're obviously outnumbered," Babs commented. "I say we retreat!"
"Wait, um, by any chance; how strong was this Hercules fellow?" Buster asked Cherry.
"Um, he was a god..." Cherry said. 'Don't they teach you anything at your school?"
"We're learning everything there is to be a Looney Tune." Babs said.
"I guess actual history doesn't count..." Cherry deadpanned.
"All right, come on out, you coward!" Atticus challenged whoever was in the bushes.
The sound now came behind them which scared off Buster and Babs. The possum kid from before was coming out and twanging his banjo with a friendly smile.
"Hey, look, it's our pal from the bridge." Buster pointed out.
"Whew! Don't scare us like that, little guy." Mo said.
There came other possums who looked like adults and looked rather hungry.
"Oh, this must be your family..." Cherry smiled nervously.
"Howdy there!" the blue bunny added with a friendly smile while the pink bunny looked nervous. "Buster and Babs Bunny here, no relation, and these are our new friends!"
"Look, we don't want any trouble; just leave us alone and we'll all be just fine." Atticus said.
"I'd go easy on the chatterbox." Babs muttered to the others, though mostly to Buster.
The possums then grabbed them all and dragged them over to their home where a mother possum was and appeared to be cooking on her grill.
"Atticus, please save us." Cherry begged.
"Don't worry, I'll think of something..." Atticus said as he tried to use his brain power to get them out of this without his magic.
"Could you make it today because I'D RATHER NOT BECOME BARBECUE?!" Cherry sounded panicked.
"Why don't we just act like Looney Tunes?" Mo asked.
"Act like Looney Tunes?" Cherry looked at Mo like she was crazy.
"We're in a universe filled with characters that might be the next Looney Tunes." Atticus said.
"Well, yeah, but-" Cherry shrugged.
"Just admit it, you're jealous that you didnt' think of it first." Mo replied.
"Hmph!" Cherry folded her arms.
"Would you rather like to become food?" Atticus asked.
Cherry sighed. 'Fine, whatever..."
The possums sat them down on the ground and started to season them.
"Um, Buster, why don't you go talk with your possum friend?" Atticus suggested.
"Oh, you guys shouldn't be so judgmental." Buster went over to the country house where the possum kid was in a rocking chair with his beloved instrument.
"Okay, time to go all Looney Tunes on these guys." Mo said.
"Dibs on not being Daffy..." Cherry hoped and begged.
"Okay then." Atticus smirked.
"Atticus, I don't like that look in your eyes..." Cherry sounded unsure.
"Let's do the Duck season Rabbit season bit." Atticus smiled.
"We are not doing that..." Cherry narrowed her eyes. "I'm gonna be Bugs!"
"No, I'm gonna be Bugs!" Atticus tricked her. "You be Daffy!"
"I'm Bugs, you're Daffy!" Cherry retorted.
"No, I'm Bugs, you're Daffy!" Atticus retorted back.
"No, I'm Bugs, you're Daffy!" Cherry retorted back.
"I'm Daffy, you're Bugs!" Atticus retorted.
"No, I'm Daffy and you're Bugs!" Cherry got annoyed.
"I'm Daffy, you're Bugs!" Atticus glared.
"You're going to be Bugs and you are going to like it!" Cherry glared back.
"Okay." Atticus smirked.
"Good!" Cherry nodded firmly, then looked lost. "Wait, what just happened?"
"He just totally Bugs Bunny'd you." Mo smirked.
"That's not fair, I want a do-over!" Cherry pulled on her own hair.
"Okay." Atticus smirked.
"He'll do it again." Mo smirked.
"Shut up!" Cherry glared. "Okay, let's try this again... I'll be Bugs Bunny and you'll be Daffy Duck."
"Okay, I'll be Bugs Bunny, and you'll be Daffy Duck." Atticus then smirked, agreeing to that halfway like how the famed rabbit would do it.
"Deal!" Cherry beamed, then her eyes widened. "WAIT!"
"See? I told you!" Mo laughed.
"I hate you..." Cherry narrowed her eyes to Atticus.
"Let's just get started." Atticus smirked.
"Yes, O Fearless Leader..." Cherry rolled her eyes.
"You're now even acting like Daffy." Atticus smirked.
"How soon until we get to the one where Daffy Duck wins?" Cherry deadpanned.
"I wasn't aware that ever happened?" Mo spoke up.
"It does in this lifetime!" Cherry replied.
"Well let's just get started." Atticus smirked.
"Fine..." Cherry spat in the ground.
The possums then came for them and grabbed onto them so they could cook them and eat them.
"And let's begin." Mo said.
Cherry and Atticus rolled their eyes, Cherry sarcastically while Atticus smirked.
"Cherry, you go first." Atticus smirked.
"I am not doing anything..." Cherry glared. "This is a trap."
"Then how's about we keep ourselves from being eaten?" Babs suggested.
"Cue the music!" Atticus called.
As if on cue, Buster and his possum friend began to start the music. The blue bunny tuned his tongue while the possum played his banjo as the chase was on.
"And here starts our survival." Mo said.
"Are you nuts?!" Cherry shook Atticus.
"Time to try to not get eaten." Atticus said.
The possums dove in for them.
"Remember our ToonTown training!" Cherry jumped up in the air and ran off before the possums could tackle her.
"Time to put that training to the test!" Mo added.
The possums then chased after Babs, Cherry, Atticus, and Mo while Buster played music with his new possum friend.
"Time to lure them into a log." Atticus said.
"Sometime today, please!" Cherry yelped as a possum was hot on her tail.
And where soon enough, they saw a log.
"Bingo!" Cherry beamed, then smirked back to the possums. "Heheheh, you guys are as good as roadkill and you're all washed up!"
"Come and get us if you can!" Mo smirked.
The possums chased them into the log. However, Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Babs came out in time and turned the log over and pushed into over the cliff it was standing over.
"Bye-Bye!" Atticus smirked.
"Alas, poor possums, we knew them well..." Mo said as she took off her bandanna as a sign of respect and even bowed her head.
"Well, time to get Buster and get out of here." Atticus smiled.
They then got back onto their raft and swayed away from the possum country back into the waters. They passed a billboard which had the red-haired girl with her dark blue cat as she was trying to put sunblock on him in a rather abusive way.
