I am so sorry guys. I know I haven't updated in months, but it's been hard. You're mad and you deserve to be. But I put a lot of effort into, mainly because it was so slow to write this chapter.

Enjoy, I hope you're not too mad.

Chapter 9: Insight and Love


"Why'd you do that?!" Lola asked. "Even if you were trying to help, you shouldn't set up a date for someone else!"

"Scold all you want but you know that you're grateful for what I did." Liza said smugly. Lola didn't say anything to that.

"Let's get you a new outfit then." Liza said with a sly smile.

"No you've done enough; I am not going to be dressed up as some Barbie toy!" Lola said.

"Please!" Liza whined. "You haven't been on a date since like forever ago!"

"It wasn't forever ago!" Lola defended.

"It was in high school and only briefly sis, that's pretty sad." Liza said. "In college you said that you'd never date anyone again."

"Yeah and I never did." Lola stated rather proudly.

"Well now you're going on a date." Liza said with a snicker. Lola sighed.

"You did this just to make me break a promise I made myself?" Lola asked.

"No, not completely." Liza replied. "I don't want my older sister to end up as an old cat lady; can you imagine what that would make me look like?"

"A cat lady's sister?" Lola guessed.

"Exactly." Liza stated grimly. Lola rolled her eyes.

"I'll go on that date and I'm going to wear what I pick put." Lola stated adamantly.


Later that day….

"Where are you going on your date anyway?" Wile E. asked.

"I'll take her somewhere nice." Bugs replied. The two of them were sitting in Bugs' living room.

"Bugsth how do you usesth your microwave?!" Daffy yelled from the kitchen.

"It's not that hard to make popcorn Daffy!" Bugs yelled back.

"With your darn microwave it isth!" Daffy retorted.

"My microwave is worth fifteen hundred dollars!" Bugs stated.

"Really?" Daffy asked. "That'sth way more tha- I mean that'sth pretty crappy!"

"Yeah right." Bugs muttered while rolling his eyes.

"You spent fifteen hundred for your microwave?" Wile E. asked.

"Hey what else do I do with money besides charity?" Bugs asked.

"I don't know." Wile E. shrugged. "Explosives, guns?"

"Hey, I'm not that big of a gun fanatic." Bugs said. "Definitely not a messed up super villain either."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Wile E. said. "I know I'm right about this though."

"Right about what?" Bugs asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Right about you and your new little co-star." Wile E. grinned.

"Whatever." Bugs said. "How are the subs and Looniversity?"

"Changing the subject?" Wile E. muttered, but he went along with it. "I'd say they're doing pretty well, but we should really head back or we'll miss the rest of the year."

"Well we got to finish the movie right?" Bugs asked as he stared up at the ceiling.

"But at the rate we're going we'll never be done." Bugs sighed. He was exaggerating, but not by much. The directors were very picky despite the length of the movie and Michael Jordon hadn't even shown up and he was one of the main characters.

"You just need to put on the old bunny charm and get the directors and producers to work." Wile E. said. Bugs chuckled at that.

"Yeah maybe." Bugs said.

"I've got the popcorn!" Daffy proclaimed as he came from the kitchen.

"Alright let's start the movie." Bugs said. He grabbed the remote and pressed play.

"You know it'd be funny if your date with Lola ended up just like this." Wile E. said during the movie.

"Funny as in ironic or funny as in funny?" Bugs asked. Wile E. and Daffy thought for a moment.

"Ironic." Daffy replied. "It'd be funny ifth Lola wasth fat."

"Yeah, remember when Melissa went through your guys' little breakup period?" Bugs retorted.

"Shut up!" Daffy yelled. Wile E. burst into laughter.

A few months before Daffy and Melissa's wedding day, the groom had decided to do something extremely "awesome", seeing that he only had a few months of being "free". These were his true words and Melissa took it to heart. Let's just say the next few months were hell for Daffy, especially after Melissa gorged herself with comfort food.

"Lesson learned." They all said at the same time. Bugs and Wile E. said it with sarcasm.

"But Bugs, you do realize that if you end up with her you'll have to admit I was right." Wile E. said with a grin.

"And that's hard?" Bugs asked. "I mean if it was Daffy over here it'd be much harder."

"I'm right, sometimesth!" Daffy defended. He then took a few minutes to come up with an example.

"Sure." Bugs and Wile E. said sarcastically.


Rehearsals had finally managed to make some progress. It was all thanks to Bugs, and it was very satisfying.

Lola sighed in relief as she dropped back into the lounge couch.

"Hey Lola!" Melissa said cheerfully.

"Hey Melissa." Lola greeted with a tired expression.

"What's wrong?" Melissa asked. "I heard that you've got a date!"

"From who?" Lola asked.

"Daffy, of course!" Melissa replied.

"Who else knows?" Lola asked, scared of the answer.

"Hey Lola, heard Bugs asked you out." Tweety said as he passed by the couch.

"I say, I say we've got some love in the air." Foghorn teased as he too passed by. Lola hid her face in her hands in embarrassment.

"How does everyone know?" Lola asked.

"It's Hollywood Lola!" Melissa said. "Celebrity news spreads like wildfire!" Lola groaned.

"What am I going to do?" Lola asked.

"Just act as you would normally." Melissa replied. "The attention isn't that bad."

"Well it isn't bad for you." Lola said. "I happen to like my privacy."

"Whatever Lola, everyone enjoys a little attention." Melissa said. "Anyway, what do you think of Bugs?"

"Why do you ask?" Lola asked with a slight blush.

"Well he's like the hottest Looney Tune around." Melissa replied.

"Aren't you married?" Lola asked.

"That doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good looking guy." Melissa replied.

"Okay, that's where marriages start going wrong." Lola said sarcastically.

"Just answer my question." Melissa said.

"Yeah…" Lola said quietly.

"So what do you think you're going to do for your guys' date?" Melissa asked.

"I don't know." Lola replied.

"Oh! There's this really gorgeous restaurant by the harbor!" Melissa squealed. "It's so romantic!"

"You speak from experience?" Lola asked. Melissa shook her head.

"I really wish Daffy would take me some time." Melissa said.


Lola walked out the studio front doors.

"How's it going Lola?" Bugs asked. He was leaning against a black Mercedes.

"Hey Bugs." Lola said with a smile. "Pretty good."

"Sorry about asking you out with a phone call." Bugs said.

"Oh, that's okay." Lola said. "But why did you ask me all of a sudden?"

"So you don't want to?" Bugs asked.

"No! I didn't say that!" Lola said quickly with a blush. Bugs laughed. The two of them walked to Lola's crappy car.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow." Lola said as she got into her car and tried to start it. The engine made a discouraging noise and became silent. Lola groaned.

"Car trouble?" Bugs asked.

"Unfortunately." Lola said as she got out.

"Let me take a look under the hood." Bugs said. Lola popped the hood open.

"Wow." Bugs said. "That's pretty bad."

"How bad is it?" Lola asked.

"Well, your car isn't going to start…. ever." Bugs replied.

"This was my dad's car." Lola said sadly.

"Well you could replace all the parts." Bugs said.

"Buying a new car would be less expensive, huh?" Lola said.

"Sorry." Bugs said sympathetically. For some reason, Lola seemed really down.

"Lola I can give you a ride home." Bugs offered.

"Okay, thanks Bugs." Lola said. The two of them got into Bugs' Mercedes and drove off.

"So what's the story on your dad?" Bugs asked as he drove. Lola sighed.

"Or is that a touchy story?" Bugs asked.

"It's okay." Lola said. "Well, he passed away when I was in high school. That car is the only thing I really have left of him." Bugs glanced at Lola for a moment and nodded.

Bugs walked Lola up to her apartment.

"Thanks Bugs." Lola said. She gave him a hug. Bugs returned the hug. His heart ached seeing her like this.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow Lola." Bugs said, trying to get her mind off of the car.

"Okay." Lola said softly. "Thanks for the ride." She walked into her apartment.


It was finally Saturday. Bugs was up early making preparations for his date with Lola.

"Yes." Bugs said on his cell phone. "Yes, I'd like it delivered to that address."

"By today." Bugs said. "I can pay it. I'm Bugs Bunny."

"Yeah, it's fine." Bugs said. "Alright, bye." Bugs hung up the phone.

Bugs walked down to his kitchen and began making himself breakfast, then his doorbell rang. He walked to the front and opened the door.

"Hey Junior, what's up?" Bugs asked as he looked around for Sylvester.

"Dad needs to hide out here for a while." Junior said.

"What did he do this time?" Bugs asked.

"He forgot my parents' anniversary." Junior replied.

"Oooooh." Bugs cringed. "Fine."

"Thanks Bugs." Sylvester said as he appeared from a bush.

"Shouldn't you be trying to fix this?" Bugs asked. "By making it up to Sylvia?"

"Yeah…." Sylvester said. "But she's going to kill me if I don't back off for a few hours."

"Well you better get out by six." Bugs said.

"Why?" Sylvester asked.

"Bugs has a date with Lola." Junior replied.

"Oh yeah!" Sylvester said in realization. "But your date is at seven and you won't be anywhere near your house!"

"Yeah but I don't want you in my house when I come back." Bugs stated.

"Why?" Sylvester asked.

"Okay, how about we just go to Daffy's house?" Junior suggested.

Thank you Junior!

"Why?" Sylvester asked. Junior just dragged him away.

"See ya doc." Bugs said.

"You can't where any of these outfits to your date!" Liza said as she looked through Lola's closet.

"I'm not wearing any of those." Lola retorted. She was holding a clothes hanger that was covered with a plastic wrap.

"Oh that's a hot dress!" Liza squealed when Lola gave her a peek.


Later that evening….

Bugs approached Lola's apartment door. He had a white collared shirt, a red tie and a black suit on. In his hands was a bouquet of red roses. He straightened his jacket, checked his breath and then knocked.

"Just a sec!" Lola yelled. Within a few seconds the door opened. Bugs' eyes widened and his jaw dropped and hung for a moment. Lola was dressed in a short-cut, black dress with string straps. A red ribbon tied her ears back.

"Hi Bugs." Lola said with a smile. "You look great."

"Thanks, you look fantastic." Bugs said as he handed his date the roses.

"These look great." Lola said. "Let me put these in a vase." She hopped back into the apartment and returned within a few moments.

"Alright let's go." Lola said. Bugs offered his arm and she took it.

Bugs had brought a black Lotus Elise and it drove up to the pier. On the pier was a five-star class Italian restaurant named Rogelio's Garden. A valet opened the passenger door and let Lola out. Bugs got out as well and tossed the keys to the young boy. Then the two bunnies walked into towards the restaurant.

"I've heard of this place." Lola said as they walked. "It's extremely expensive!"

"Don't worry about it Lola." Bugs chuckled. Within a few moments they were seated and their waiter handed them menus.

"I'll give you a few minutes." The waiter said with a smile. He then walked away. Lola looked over the choices. All of the meals would leave her eating crackers for a month!

"Isn't that Bugs Bunny?" Several people murmured. "Who's that with him?"

"Didn't you hear? The two of them are dating."

Bugs cleared his throat.

"So Lola do you think you'll act in another movie?" Bugs asked.

"Well, I don't know." Lola replied. "It's fun but really hard."

Suddenly a stampede of paparazzi stormed through the restaurant doors.

"Bugs Bunny, Bugs Bunny look over here!" One journalist exclaimed.

"Let's get a picture of you kissing your girlfriend!" Another journalist yelled. Bugs groaned. Lola was too confused because of the blinding, flashing lights.

"You want to get out of here?" Bugs asked. Lola nodded. Bugs grabbed Lola's hand and the two of them sprinted out.

"Wait!" The paparazzi yelled out as they chased after the bunnies.


Two hours of frantic running later…

Bugs and Lola struggled to catch their breaths. They had ended up in the middle of a playground.

"Are you all right?" Bugs asked.

"Yeah." Lola replied. "They don't give up easily."

"We got lucky this time." Bugs said in relief.

"Where are we?" Lola asked as she looked around.

"I don't know." Bugs replied. "Sacramento?" Lola laughed.

"I'm serious for all the running we did we may as well be in Mexico." Bugs said. The two of them laughed and then sighed.

"Look Lola, I'm really sorry about how our date turned out." Bugs said.

"Don't be." Lola said. "It was interesting."

"I really wanted it to end well." Bugs said as he sat down in the swing behind them.

"I did too." Lola said as she sat down as well.

"Why is that?" Bugs asked.

"Well isn't it obvious?" Lola asked with a slight blush. Bugs shrugged.

"I like you, a lot." Lola stated. Bugs stared at her for a moment, and then his lips formed a smile.

"I like you too, Lola." Bugs stated nonchalantly.

"More than a friend, just to clarify." Lola said. Bugs nodded as he took one of her hands and placed it into his.

"More than a friend." Bugs repeated. The two of them smiled at each other.

A taxi pulled into Lola's street. Then it stopped.

"Uh, the apartment is just a bit further." Lola said to the driver. Bugs got out.

"Come on Lola." Bugs said.

"Bugs he can take us fifty more feet!" Lola said. Bugs just dragged her out. He then paid the driver.

"What are you thinking?" Lola asked with a frustrated look.

"Just follow me." Bugs said as he continued to walk towards her apartment. As they got closer Lola noticed a car parked in her spot.

"Whose car is that?" Lola asked.

"Yours." Bugs replied.

"What?" Lola asked. It was indeed her car. However, it was fixed and looked brand new!

"You seemed down about your dad's car, so I had it towed and fixed up." Bugs said. "Though a lot of parts had to be replaced."

"That must have cost a fortune!" Lola exclaimed. Bugs shrugged.

"It wasn't cheap." Bugs just said. Lola suddenly embraced him.

"Thank you so much!" Lola said. She was tearing up. "This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me." Bugs was surprised; he hadn't expected this kind of reaction.

"It was no problem." Bugs said as returned the hug. The two of them stood there for a moment. Lola looked up at him with a pondering stare. She seemed to be waiting for something. Bugs wiped away her tears with his thumb. Their lips slowly drifted towards each other but for a moment Bugs hesitated.

Come on, you can do it!

Bugs had never been this nervous in his entire life. He internally punched himself and finally the two bunnies' lips met.
