The race for Acme Acres v2
chapter 4
xxxxxxxxxxxx
Babs and the girls started to get their boards ready for their part of the race.
"You girls ready?" Babs asked Shirley and Fifi.
"Like, almost." replied Shirley whose board was colored white with a crystal ball in the middle of it. She was applying some disinfectant to it.
"Nice board, Shirley." Babs said. Babs' was simply pink like her fur with a picture of a star in the middle.
"I agree." remarked Fifi whose board was the same color as her fur, but with the picture of a heart made of perfume.
"Thanks. Like, yours are not bad either or some junk." Shirley replied.
"Looks like we're up against some weak competition." remarked a voice as they turned and saw Roderick with his team.
"Never giving up, huh?" Babs asked, glaring.
"No, but with you as our opponent, it won't be a real challenge at all." laughed Roderick with Drake and Johnny joining in the laughter.
"Like, you jerks wish." Shirley said.
"We'll see you at the starting line. Try not to break a nail." mocked Drake as they walked off laughing at the girls.
Buster, Plucky, Hamton, Calamity, Little Beeper and Furrball appeared then.
"Ignore them. They're just trying to discourage you all." Buster said.
"Yeah, well it's working." remarked Babs whose face was going red with a little steam coming out of her ears.
Buster embraced and kissed her on the cheek, before saying "Babs, you can do it. I know you can."
That caused her face to light, but not in anger as the steam from her ears went away.
'Good luck, Fifi. I hope you have better luck than me, Calamity and Little Beeper.' read Furrball's sign before taking her hand and kissing it.
Fifi blushed at the bold move on Furrball's part and needed to say what was on her mind. "Furrball, I would just like to say that I-"
"Round 2 has begun! The next two teams please proceed to the starting line." called Gogo.
"Give Roderick and his team the taste of defeat, Shirley." Plucky said.
"Like, you got it, Plucky." replied Shirley.
Plucky then kissed Shirley on the cheek.
Shirley was stunned at the sudden gesture and surprisingly didn't feel like slapping Plucky for that.
"I think she's starting to like me." Plucky said quietly to himself.
Soon the girls made their way to the line where Roderick and his team were waiting.
"Get ready, girls." Babs said.
Both teams got ready as the lights began to count down.
When it finally hit green, the six of them immediately sped down the highway. Buster, Plucky, Hamton, Calamity, Little Beeper and Furrball were sitting in the stands, cheering while watching Babs' team and Roderick's team speeding down the highway.
Babs and Shirley tried to get a head start, but Drake and Johnny got in their way and began to bump against their boards.
Plucky glared, upon seeing what the Perfectos were doing. "I think they're trying to cheat." Plucky said.
"Of course they are." replied Buster who frowned at seeing Drake and Johnny try and push Babs off her board.
"Why those wretched whippersnappers. I should beat them until their bones crack." Hamton said furiously.
"Easy there dude. You do that, and we're disqualified, then how are we suppose to keep Monty from getting the land?" asked Buster.
Hamton sighed in frustration and continued to watch the screen.
Roderick grinned at seeing the rabbit and loon get bumped around, but he looked around in confusion on where the skunk went.
"Hey, where's that skunk girl?" Roderick asked himself.
"Right behind vous." came Fifi's voice as Roderick turned and was stunned to see Fifi's tail raised up.
"Oh no!" Roderick cried.
Fifi's natural gas hit Roderick in the face causing his eyes to water and making him cough for air as he tried to get away and bashed into Drake's board.
Roderick and Drake fell from their boards and landed on the ground, looking dizzily with stars circling around them.
Furrball witnessing this on the screen, smiled and clapped his hands.
"Way to go, Fifi." Furrball said in his mind.
That left Johnny all by himself as Babs and the others smiled in confidence.
"Blast those Acme losers!" Johnny said quietly to himself, glaring.
"What now, Johnny?" challenged Babs.
"Oui. Do tell." Fifi said, smirking.
The male skunk began to sweat nervously and held up his hands. "I give up."
The girls do not believe him. Babs said "If you think we are going to fall for your trick, you are dreaming."
Johnny's eyes widened as Babs and Shirley grabbed each others arms and clotheslined the skunk off his board.
Buster, Plucky, Hamton, Calamity, Little Beeper and Furrball were cheering in the stands.
"Alright, Babs!" Buster yelled.
""Go, Shirley!" Plucky also yelled.
The end result was Johnny joining the other three and since they were off their boards, Babs and the girls had won by default.
"Yahoo! We did it!" Babs cheered.
"Like, we showed those losers you don't mock us!" cheered Shirley.
"Vous got zat right!" Fifi agreed.
Just then, Buster, Plucky, Hamton, Calamity, Little Beeper and Furrball showed up to congratulate the girls.
"Way to go Babsy!" cheered Buster throwing his arms around her in a hug.
"Thanks, Buster. I did good, didn't I?" Babs said.
"You sure did." smiled the blue hare.
"Well done, Fifi. You me laugh when you sprayed Roderick with your stench." Furrball's sign read.
"Thank you, Furrball." smiled Fifi.
"You're welcome." Furrball's sign read. Then, out of the blue, he kissed her on the cheek.
Fifi blushed and stood there with her mouth opened slightly.
"Bravo, Shirley. I knew you could do it." Plucky said, embracing the loon.
Shirley found Plucky's hug warm and returned it with a small smile on her face.
"Like, I knew I could do it too or some junk." Shirley replied back.
Meanwhile, Max saw the event thanks to a remote camera he had set up.
"I can't believe this! A Perfecto team down!" Max growled.
Max growled as now he had only one team left to rely on.
"I have to do something. What if the other Perfecto team loses too?" Max panicked.
He snapped his fingers which called in his butler.
"You called, Master Monty?" Grovely asked.
"Get me the scientist who built those boards!" ordered Max.
"Yes, sir." Grovely said.
As the butler went off to do that, Max chuckled and rubbed his hands with an evil grin on his face.
"Great job so far. Once we win, Monty will become the laughingstock of Acme Acres." Buster said to which he and the others laughed.
