Disclaimers on chapter 1, folks.

/\/\

Lola Bunny was anything but calm as she headed towards the gym the next morning. Who could blame her? Last night she, of all people and toons alike, had been kissed, kissed, by the grey furred legend himself and boy did she like it.

"I loved it actually" Lola butted in stopping for a second to stare at the screen. "Get the facts straight"

Even though she loved it, she still had a hard time believing it. Lola believed that she was just one of those every day plain Jane toonettes that could be seen in any toon city and never thought that she was pretty enough to be noticed by anyone let alone a Looney Tune legend of all toons. Then again, until she had actually met them, Lola thought all stars were stuck up jerks who only thought of three things; money, fame and themselves.

It was therefore understandable when she finally built up the courage to not only enter the gym where they were gathering to train for the big event but to speak up when Michael commented on Buster having some experience playing basketball that she realised that she was wrong about them, or at least most of them anyway. One certain jack rabbit had to receive a healthy portion of humble pie before she could start liking him which was definitely for the better due to certain events later on.

Arriving at the gym, Lola entered to find the rest of the toons already milling about warming up in their own way before practice began. All but Bugs who was currently standing off to the side staring at a door leading to the room Michael was in if that was his voice she was hearing.

"What's up, Doc?" She couldn't help but ask as she walked up to him.

Bugs, apparently used to the doe using his lines and tricks, turned to look at her and gave her a smile that made her knees buckle before turning to look back at the door. Curious as to why her new love was interested more in a wooden door than her, Lola stood beside him and mimicked his pose before asking why he was staring at it so.

"I got home last night to foind Michael wid anuder one of his tree-dee buddies" Bugs explained leaning in slightly so that their arms were touching. "Apparently, dere's a baseball game Mike's got dah same night we play fer our careers an dis Pedalac…Poedack…Podalackey guy is trying tah convince Mike to go back wid 'em"

"Is that why he's in there now, talking to this Kodalak?" Lola asked as she now looked at the door.

"Nope" Bugs replied shaking his head. "Dat palooka now wants tah play himself"

"Do you know if he's any good?"

Bugs took a second as he looked back on what he saw of Stan Cadelac before describing the guys skill. "He's fast at passes; quick off dah rebound; barely touches dah ground at dah speed he goes at… Course, dat's if he's dah ball"

Lola cocked her head to one side as she tried to figure out what Bugs meant only to burst out laughing when Michael and his three dimensional friend came out of the office. The poor guy was probably a few inches taller than Bugs, floor to ear tips, and was large in the stomach to put it lightly. If anything, the guy looked more like he could be the team's manager or financial adviser than a player.

Before she could agree or add to Bugs' comment, the tan sable suddenly found herself being whisked away to a secluded corner of the gym by one Babs Bunny.

"A tap on the shoulder would have been a bit nicer" She remarked as she flexed her stretched arm.

Babs just kept quiet. Ever since yesterday when she saw her boyfriend's idol with the doe before her and realising that Buster had been right and loyal all along, Babs had been trying to work up the courage to say something she never would have thought she would have to say to her.

"I'm sorry!" She blurted out eventually staring at the ground. "I'm sorry for assuming that you were only playing basketball with my boyfriend just so you could steal him from me and wanting him for his the fame he gained as the star of Tiny Toons and for wrecking your apartment and spreading all those horrid things about you behind your back and for thinking that you're nothing more than a-"

"Babs! A: take a breath, and B: this story is rated too low for that last part" Lola butted in slapping a hand over the pink doe's mouth when she realised what she was about to say.

Babs smiled apologetically after Lola removed her hand before jumping right into the next topic.

"So, what was it like?"

"Wha?" Was Lola's intelligent reply.

"You know. Kissing, smooching, lip-locking, mouth wrestling, making out, surely you two have done that, right?" Babs pressed clearly eager for the scoop. "C'mon, girl. Details, details"

Lola was unsure how to reply to that. Not only was Babs now prying for information on her boyfriend, unofficial but still sounded wonderful to her, but she had no idea how to compare what it felt like to be kissed as Bugs was literally her first. Not including her father although they were just pecks on the cheek.

And that was without including the one-eighty Babs seemed to have done, going from worst nightmare to best friend after a single day.

"Why do you want to know? Oh, and my name's not Shirley" She added after finally gathering her wits.

Babs was unable to hold in the grin when she saw that a little of her old principal's sense of humour had already rubbed off on her new friend.

"Girl, Do you know how many girls out there want to be in your shoes right now?"

"Just the ones reading this story at the moment" Lola replied repressing the urge to add that she never wore shoes period.

"So you did kiss!" Babs exclaimed not realising that everyone in the gym heard her until she noticed how silent the place had become and hall eyes were now on her. "Oops"

"I swear, dat goil could broadcast a radio channel widout a broadcast station" Bugs grumbled suddenly wishing he was elsewhere. If he was not suddenly bombarded with the guys ribbing him on finally getting a girl in the next five seconds then he feared what awaited him after practice.

"You know Babs, just can't help herself" Buster said as if it explained everything as he mysteriously appeared at the jack rabbit's side.

Bugs could not argue there. During the pink doe's time at Acme Loo, by her senior year, Babs had a whole file cabinet containing all her exploits and was graceful that she had finally roped it in in order to focus on her finals. It helped that a certain blue furred buck had kept her free time occupied and had some form of control over her.

"I thought you two weren't supposed to do that until after the game" Buster pointed out.

"True" Bugs easily admitted with a sly grin on his face. "But what we did was just an appetiser for dah main course after dah game"

"There are kids reading this" Buster reminded him pointing at the screen.

"Dat's dah author's problem, not mine" Bugs shrugged off like it was nothing.

Buster shook his head. No matter what he tried, his mentor always seemed to be one step ahead of him, in everything but relationships at least.

"Tanks for the advice, by the way" Bugs suddenly said catching the blue buck off guard.

If he was younger, Buster was sure he would have collapsed upon hearing those words. Instead he just grinned casually at his old mentor before joining the rest of the team as they gathered to begin practice.

"Just returning the favour" He said unaware that Bugs was shaking his head as he watched the blue buck's ego expand as he strutted off looking like he had just accomplished the impossible.

"Just when you tink dey've grown up, dey go an prove yah wrong"
