Chapter 3: "The Freemans at Cartoon University"
Back with Bugs and the Freemans, they were finishing up the last leg of the Cartoon University tour. Huey and Granddad had already scolded Riley about the incident that occurred back at the Cartoon University gymnasium, so they warned him to be on his best behavior. Knowing how Riley gets when it comes down to certain events, it would still be a major challenge. Anyway, Bugs showed the Freemans a classroom where they saw Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner teaching students about outwitting rivals and dealing with the School of Hard Knocks simultaneously. Wile E. was busy building a contraption to capture the Road Runner, but this did not work as the contraption backfired on him (as usual). Wile E. then says to the audience, "You know, I think I need to have a long talk with the ACME Corporation."
After he said that, the Road Runner said his signature "Beep, beep!" phrase and zoomed out of the scene.
"So, this is the Outwitting and Hard Knocks class?" Huey asked.
"Yeah, usually they are taught in separate classes, but Wile E. and the Road Runner occasionally team up to teach their classes to the students in the same classroom," Bugs explained.
"Interesting," Huey said.
Suddenly, the Freemans heard saxophone music being played in a nearby classroom. Curious about where that music was coming from, Bugs led the Freemans into the classroom where they saw an African-American male playing a saxophone inside. Granddad instantly recognized him as he said, "Hey, that's Sunny Bridges! Sunny, it's me, Robert!"
Sunny stopped playing when he saw Granddad standing at the door. He had a smile on his face as he high-fived Granddad while saying, "Well, if it isn't Robert Freeman! What's going on, man?"
"Oh, nothing much," Granddad said. "Just here to show my grandsons their new school with the help of, heh-heh, Principal Bugs Bunny here."
"Oh, okay," Sunny said as he kneeled down to see Huey and Riley. "So, you boys are going to be the new kids here at Cartoon University?"
"Yeah," Huey said.
"Didn't you used to be on that Cartoon Network show, Class of 3000?" Riley asked.
"Well, yeah," Sunny said. "Those were some real good times. I actually managed to learn more about Toon Physics when I was on the Cartoon Network, then I managed to utilize them when I started teaching here at Cartoon University."
"Well, I can tell I'm really going to be cool with you, Mr. Bridges," Riley said. "Actually, out of all of the teachers here, I think you are one of the realest and coolest ones out there."
"What about Bugs here? You don't think he's cool enough?"
"Well ... that's what I meant. You and Bugs here are going to be two of the coolest teachers I have ever met."
"Because you obviously held no grudge against any of them after you thought the teacher back at Woodcrest called you the 'N-word'," Huey said under his breath.
"Shut up, punk!" Riley said in a defensive tone.
"Guys, guys, calm down," Sunny said. "Look, all that matters is you guys are going to have some real fun in this class. In fact, I actually have two students who are actually famous rockstars from Japan."
"You mean, Puffy AmiYumi?" Huey asked.
"Yeah," Sunny said.
Granddad was surprised that his grandson knew about the rock duo as he asked, "Huey, how did you know about Puffy AmiYumi? I didn't think you cared about their music."
"Well, Jazmine introduced me to their music and overall style when she told me about this old cartoon they used to do," Huey said.
"Whoa ... wow, Bugs, you sure have a lot of established cartoon stars as students in this University," Granddad said.
"Yeah, but what do you expect, doc?" Bugs said as he ate another carrot. "Some of them wanted to expand their knowledge on the world of cartoons."
"Oh, I see," Granddad said.
"Well, Bugs, I gotta get back to practicing my saxophone skills, but I'll catch you later," Sunny said to Bugs as he gave him some dap.
"Alright, Sunny," Bugs said. "Come on, fellas, we still have a few more classes to go to."
As Sunny began to play on his saxophone again, Bugs led them to another room where they saw Dr. Nora Wakeman explaining the concept of Robotics while Dexter was adding in some updates to Dr. Wakeman's daughter, Jenny Wakeman.
"Ow!" Jenny cried. "Dexter, be careful. You don't have to overdo it."
"Listen, XJ-9, your mother wanted me to install these updates, so you could be a better crime-fighter," Dexter explained. "In all honesty, based on how you have been slacking in the crime-fighting business, you really need it."
Jenny just pouted as she said under her breath, "The things I do for extra credit around here."
"Is that your Robotics class?" Granddad asked Bugs.
"Yep, Dr. Wakeman actually teaches this class and her daughter Jenny occasionally comes in as a student teacher from time to time," Bugs said. "Mainly as an example of the types of robots Dr. Wakeman talks about."
"Wow," Granddad said.
"So, you mean to tell me that the Mad Scientist is going to be our Robotics teacher?" Riley asked. "What, Science Class sounded too cliché?"
Huey just shoved Riley's shoulder as Bugs said, "Eh, she actually teaches a Science Class here as well. Also, I think it would be best if you steered clear from calling her a 'Mad Scientist'. Believe me, her daughter Jenny may be one of the friendliest students around here, but she is a crime-fighting superhero robot who has a wide array of weapons."
Riley just locked his body in place as he nervously gulped and said, "Uh ... point taken, Bugs."
"Well, anyway, come on, fellas, we have a few more classes to see," Bugs said.
After a minute or two of walking around the school, Bugs led them into another classroom where they saw Shaggy and Scooby-Doo of Mystery Inc. teaching the students about the different aspects of Mystery Solving. Bugs called out to Shaggy and Scooby, "Hey, docs, how's your Mystery-Solving class going?"
"Hey, Bugs, it's going good so far," Shaggy said.
"Reah, it's rather straight-forward for a class about Mystery-Solving," Scooby-Doo said.
"Well, I would like to introduce you guys to two of Cartoon University's newest students, Huey and Riley Freeman," Bugs said as Huey and Riley waved to Shaggy and Scooby.
"Like, hey there, Huey and Riley," Shaggy said. "So, are you guys ready to learn about the ways of Mystery-Solving?"
"What's there to know about Mystery-Solving?" Riley said in a sarcastic tone. "All you have to do is take a case, find clues, find the culprit, engage in a musical chase scene, defeat the bad guy, and it turns out to be a guy in a mask."
"Riley, you are only basing that on the formula that Scooby-Doo made famous," Huey said.
"Yeah, you don't realize that we have actually tangled with real monsters and ghosts before," Shaggy said. "We even had a period during the '90s and early-2000s where we came into contact with zombies, witch ghosts, aliens, and even the Phantom Virus."
"Don't forget the Rat Monsters, Raggy," Scooby-Doo said.
"I think you mean 'Cat Monsters'," Huey said, correcting Scooby.
"Right, that's what I said," Scooby said.
"Anyway, it's really groovy that you two will actually be in this class soon," Shaggy said. "Like, I hope you enjoy your time here at Cartoon University."
"Thanks, Shaggy," Huey said as he, Riley, Bugs and Granddad left the classroom.
Afterwards, Bugs led them into the library where he quietly said, "Welcome to the Cartoon University library, docs."
"Whoa, you sure have a whole lot of books around here, Bugs," Huey said quietly.
"Man, why are we in the library of all places?" Riley said loudly.
Bugs quickly covered Riley's mouth as he shushed him and said, "Listen, Riley, our librarian's real strict about keeping quiet in the library. See, if Buster and Babs learned from last time, we really have to keep ..."
Unbeknownst to Bugs, the librarian, who is Foghorn Leghorn (ironically enough), was standing behind him as he was explaining this to Riley. When Bugs came face-to-face with Foghorn, he finished his sentence with a low, "... quiet."
"Quiet, I say, quiet!" Foghorn said loudly. "This is a library! Can't you see that all of these students here are trying to engage themselves in the enjoyment of reading?! They can't enjoy reading if you are talking up a storm here, boy!"
While Foghorn was saying this, this began to scare a few of the students (Double D, Kim Possible, Bonnie Rockwaller, Numbah Two, Numbah Five) as they quickly hugged each other while Foghorn was yelling.
"You gotta keep quiet! Q-U-I-E-T! Do I make myself clear?"
"Yeah," Bugs said quietly.
"Good!" Foghorn said as he turned to the audience and said, "Nice rabbit, but he has a mouth that could run an entire marathon from here to Alberquerque."
As Foghorn left the scene, Bugs turned to the Freemans and said, "Eh, let's just check out what Professor Utonium is up to."
In the next scene, Bugs and the Freemans have caught up with Professor Utonium, who is the teacher of Math, Algebra, and Chemistry. The Professor was finishing up his explanation of the core aspects of each of his classes as he said, "... So you see, Huey and Riley, you will know that some of these aspects will come in handy in animated cartoons."
"It's true," Bugs said with a smile. "Just ask Wile E. Coyote or our resident school genius, Dexter."
"That sounds interesting," Huey said. "So, Professor, do your daughters happen to go to this school?"
"Well, yes," The Professor said. "I have to make sure the Girls get a good education on the logic of cartoons. If you ask them, they seem to enjoy it a lot, especially since they get to hang out with Dexter, the Eds and the other kids."
"If I ever meet those Powerpuff Girls, I'm gonna ask them how they got those cool superpowers," Riley said with a smirk.
"Riley, don't even try it!" Granddad said. "Chemical X is not like any of those fruit juice drinks that you and your brother like. That probably has some dangerous ingredients that could kill a real person."
"Trust me, Riley, Chemical X is not something to toy with," The Professor said.
Riley just rolled his eyes as the Freemans and Bugs walked out of the classroom while waving to Professor Utonium.
Later in the day, they met up with Pepe Le Pew, who was the teacher of the Smellology and Romantic Tactics classes, though it was rather uncomfortable for Huey and Riley since they could not handle his stench. That probably explains why they left so quickly, even though Bugs and Granddad did not mind. They also talked with Elmer J. Fudd about the Cartoon Logic 101 class, which led to Bugs engaging in the old "Rabbit Season" routine with Elmer. This also ended with Elmer failing to outsmart Bugs ... predictably. Finally, they met up with Freakazoid!, who was the teacher of the Fourth Wall-Breaking class.
For the sake of discussion, the insanity that came from this class was a bit too much for the Freeman family. Bugs could handle it because he came from the Warner Bros. Cartoons team, so he was basically a master of breaking the fourth wall (better yet, destroying it until it ended up being rebuilt by the next cartoon he appeared in ... where it would be destroyed yet again).
All in all, the Freemans finally finished the Cartoon University tour as Granddad shook hands with Bugs and said, "Thanks for the tour, Mr. Bunny; so, do you think my grandsons would be a good fit for this school?"
"Well, as long as they put their minds to it, I think Huey and Riley would feel right at home," Bugs said.
"Why, thank you, Mr. Bunny," Granddad said as he and the boys began to walk to their car. "Well, come on, boys; it's time to go back to our new home. To think, you two will be starting school here tomorrow."
"Yeah, I can't wait," Riley said in a sarcastic tone.
"Riley, are you being sarcastic right now?" Huey asked.
"What? What are you talking about?" Riley said, trying to cover himself. "I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm just showing my overall excitement for being in this school."
Huey just gave Riley a blank stare while they all waved at Bugs as they drove away from the University. Starting tomorrow, Huey and Riley's world would see a new beginning. Actually, their world would have an all-new Looney beginning if you ask me.
A/N: Looks like the tour of Cartoon University is finally over, and some new challenges await Huey and Riley by the next way. Will Huey and Riley find some new friends in this new school on their first day? Will they have to deal with any popular girl cliques or popular kid cliques? Who is the group of girls who want to become friends with Huey and Riley? Find out all of this and more in the next chapter! "Stay Tooned" for more, Folks!
