Little Lost Loonatic
Stygian Skunk Part 10
As far as I know, Cosmo Sambo and Willo-Z are my own creations. They are decedents of Lil' Sambo and Willoughby (who are Bugs Bunny villains that I did not create).
It seems there's unplanned yaoi and yuri elements in this chapter. They might continue if there aren't too many objections. I think the vernacular is SkunkXLexi and AceXTek. However, I was hinting at and planning a ménage de trois (a three way relationship, literal translation 'household of three') with AceXLexiXSkunk that begins to bloom now. Relationships can be complicated, no?
And on another note, thank you Google Translate.
...
As the four of them waited for the cab to pick them up, Ace turns to Skunk and asks, "Are you gonna carry the girl bunny all day?"
Skunk started to answer, but Lexi cut her off, saying, "Do you hear me complaining?"
Skunk smiled, but also blushed at the same time.
"I think you boys are intimidated by a big, strong girl like Skunk." With one finger, she traced a line behind Skunk's ear, making her shiver a little.
"Intimidated? Me?" asked Ace and Tek in unison, "Heaven forbid." The two glanced at each other, then they all bust out laughing.
"You know," said Ace, "I have this feeling that we're a tight knit team and really close friends."
"You know it," replied Lexi with a smile.
'Ils vont me détester quand ils se souviennent (They will hate me when they remember),' thought Skunk sourly, 'et applaudir quand Zadavia me prend loin d'eux (and cheer when Zadavia takes me away from them).'
"Is something wrong, Skunk?" asked Lexi.
"Nothing, mon cheri," said Skunk as she lied, "It is nothing."
"You worried about getting the rest of the team back, aren't you?"
"Oui," said Skunk suddenly.
"Don't worry, we'll get them back somehow, and we'll all be together again."
"Oui."
A small green mini-van pulls up with a sign reading 'Acmetropolis Green Cabs' on it. The man asks out the window, "You Loonatics looking for a ride?"
"Yeah," replied Ace.
"Get in." The door slid open automatically.
"After the ladies," said Ace as he bowed and made a fluid gesture towards the door.
Skunk leaned in and placed Lexi on the far side of the middle bench seat, and then slipped in beside her. She leaned over slightly as Ace and Tek climbed into the back.
"We're ready, doc," said Ace, "Loonatics, let's jet!"
"This is a cab, buddy," said the driver, "I don't do jet."
Tek chucked and said, "That's some expression you have there, male bunny... I mean, Ace."
"It just felt like something I should say."
The cab pulls away from the curb and slips into traffic.
"That sounds like something a leader would say."
"Oui," added Skunk, "You are the leader of the Loonatics."
"I am?" asked Ace.
"Sounds good to me," added Lexi.
"How long til we get there," asked Tek.
"Given traffic conditions," replied the cabby, "about an hour or hour and fifteen minutes."
"Good," replied Lexi, "I could use a nap." She lay down in the seat with her legs hanging over the front with her head in Skunk's lap.
"Me too," replied Ace. He leans against Tek and rests his head on the coyote's shoulder.
Soon, Ace and Lexi are both napping.
"So," asked Tek, "do you love me?"
"I am so sorry," replied Skunk, "but I would be lying if I said 'yes'."
"That's all right, as long as we get along."
"Oui. We do cooperate."
"You love Ace and so do I. I hope we aren't fighting over him."
"I think Ace has enough love for both of us. True Love is a shared virtue."
"Although for some reason, I just can't get this picture of Ace trussed up like a chicken roast with an apple shoved in his mouth out of my mind's eye. It's not like I really want to eat Ace."
"That sounds like the bondage."
"Maybe I've said too much already," mused Tek, "Just don't tell Ace or Lexi about this?"
"My lips are sealed," replied Skunk, speaking slowly and deliberately since she knew that Tek could no longer understand French, "I'm sure you'll open up and share your feelings with Ace when you feel you are ready to. You never know, he might have thought that and be too embarrassed to speak of such things."
"Thanks Skunk. You certainly seem like a good friend."
"Oui."
...
Lil' Sambo and Electro J Fudd sit on top of a tall building. Fudd has his hand to his ear.
"What're we doing?" asked Sambo.
"Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah," laughed Fudd, "I'm scanning da Acmetwopolis Powice and Civiwian wadio twaffic for Woonatic sightings."
He paused for a moment, and then said, "Four Woonatics have been sighted weaving Acmetwopolis Adult Acres in a Acmetwopolis Gween Cab. Finds da cab, we finds ouw pwey."
Sambo and Fudd take off using their rocket boots, turning invisible a split second after launch.

"Why do I have this sick feeling I've been relegated to a bit part in this play?" asked Duck aloud in his force bubble prison to the other two Loonatics also in force bubble prisons.
"Roo radda radda radda roo," said Slam.
"You've always been a bit player, hairball."
"We're-a-team-and-we-all-count-Duck-even-you-and-Skunk-So-don't-play-the-high-and-mighty-warrior-around-me-You-move-in-molasses-slow-motion-compared-to-me-We-need-Slam-for-his-great-strength-and-twisting-destructive-power," said Rev at super talking speed.
"Raa," agreed Slam.
"You guys keep thinking that," muttered Duck, "Just keep thinking that."
