Time to roll out Chapter 11, along with some new faces in this story. I hope you all enjoy this so far! Gotta keep on trucking.. I own only the OC's that I have introduced originally since the first story (except for Nada Sampson, she belongs to MonstarzGirl).

The past three days of staying in Looney Tune Land passed by quickly. We enjoyed our time staying with the Monstars, especially since I got to spend more time hanging out with Nawt. We did various activities, although I had to question Nada's behavior a few times. She was acting very nervous at some points, especially when I tried to go get something on my own in my room. She even insisted on staying over at our house for a while longer when we were heading back to our world.

I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but she would brush it off like it was nothing.

Witch Hazel, with the help of Wile and Bugs, finally put the finishing touches on my new mirror and took it to our house, giving it a home in my room. They managed to get rid of the pieces of the other mirror and dispose of them, which I was really grateful for.

After bidding good bye to the Monstars for the time being and thanking for their hospitality, we grabbed our luggage and went through Nawt's mirror.

We arrived inside of our home, feeling a tinge of relief like the energy that was previously here was no longer present.

Setting down our bags, Nada and I began to empty the laundry out of them and took them to the washer machine that was down the hall. I separated the lights from the dark clothes and started up the machine with a cup of detergent. Nada shuffled her feet nervously on the wooden floorboards and I took notice of that.

"Nada, are you sure you're okay? You seem upset about something, and I doubt it was the snake you claimed to have seen in the garden a few days ago." Nada bit her lip and shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm fine, Kari."

"No, you're not. I don't know what's got you all tied up in a knot, but friends shouldn't hide anything from one another."

She turned to face me, giving me an angry look. "I said I'm fine! Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself!" She kicked the pile of light clothes and then stormed off towards her room. I tried calling her name, but she slammed the door before I could say anything more.

Knowing her, I sighed and left her be. She'll cool off by later in the afternoon. Thinking about what we were going to eat for dinner, I decided to check our fridge for provisions. I passed by Hale's room, noticing him lying on his bed playing with Marie. He was throwing her lightly up in the air, making her squeal with delight.

"Hey, bro." I grinned at the display. He caught Marie and turned his head towards me. "Hey, sis. What's up?"

"I need you to keep an eye on the clothes for me while I go see if we have any food available for dinner. Chances are I might have to go grocery shopping."

My brother raised a curious brow. "I thought Nada was helping you with the laundry?" I shrugged. "We got into a small argument and she's now locked inside her room. I won't take long."

He sat up, placing Marie down on his bed next to him. "Alright, I'll handle the laundry, but you're gonna fold it when you come back." I agreed to his condition and thanked him. He got up and handed me his debit card. "Take this and make any purchases necessary. Just come back home before it gets dark out." Chuckling, I took his card and complied. "Don't worry. I will."

I took off and darted down the stairs towards the kitchen. I peeped quickly into the fridge and noticed that our supply of groceries was at a minimal. "Grocery shopping it is, then." I grabbed Hale's car keys to his KIA along with my house keys and went out the door.

It took only five to ten minutes till I arrived to the supermarket. Getting out of the car, I locked and put on the automated alarm then made my way through the parking lot. I guess I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into someone.

"Oh! Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! I guess I wasn't- no way! Lexi?" I glanced up and saw one of my friends from my photography class, Lexi Monroe.

She had natural blonde hair and tan skin with the most brilliant sky blue eyes I have ever seen. Her hair was wavy but was put up in a ponytail and wore a purple top with ripped jeans and black flip flops. She had Asian chop sticks in her ponytail and dark purple goth earrings. In short, she's a model and one of the most attractive girls in our school, not to mention popular.

"Huh? Kari? Oh my gosh, it is you!" She jumped at me and gave me a huge hug. I hugged her back and pulled back. "I didn't expect to find you here! How are you?" She shrugged. "It's been good. Had a couple of photo shoots, but they were canceled. Something about 'bomb threats'.. speaking of which, did you hear that all the schools in the county have been closed?"

I nodded. "Yeah, Hale, Nada and I got a message at our house about that." She looked at me with glee. "Wait, Nada's with you guys? How is she.. and how come I'm hardly invited over at your place, huh?" Lexi placed her hands on her hips, giving me a disapproving glare.

"Well, things have been complex lately, and-" I was cut off as my blonde friend cried out. "Complex nothing, hon! I'm coming along with you to your place after you get whatever you need from here!"

I gawked at her in shock. "But- don't you have someplace to go? What about your car?" She scoffed lightly. "My parents dropped me off here cause there was a photographer that I was supposed to meet here. The guy called me at he last minute saying he lost all his equipment, so I was about to call my parents to come get me, until I bumped into you. Change of plans now. So I'll come along with you!"

"Oh.. okay.. I guess." I mumbled, completely taken off guard by this notification. We started to make our stroll towards the market, talking about how things were going for the both of us during the school delay. I couldn't tell her about us reuniting with the Tunes or the Monstars. She wouldn't believe me, aside from her thinking that I'm a nutcase.

Grabbing a shopping cart, we started getting the main essentials, like eggs, milk, butter, and such. I asked her if she could go get a box of linguine pasta, since I planned on making some spaghetti with meatballs for dinner. Lexi merrily complied and left to the pasta isle. As I was reaching up for a glass container of Ragu sauce, I heard someone dropping some cans from next to me. I glanced down and saw someone familiar.

"Dammit. Why do I keep dropping stuff everywhere?" she mumbled. I bent down and helped her pick up the cans. "Didn't expect to see you here, Maddie." Maddeline Stoner glanced up and her expression changed from frustrated to surprised and grateful. "Kari? Oh, man! It's been a while, huh? What are you doing here?"

Maddie had wild brown hair that was trimmed in a scene fashion with chocolate brown eyes. She wore a green army camouflage long-sleeve with skinny jeans and black Vans. She always wore dark lens glasses, as she was a little sensitive to bright lights. She is also hardly ever seen without her purple Skull Candy ear-buds, jamming to her music.

I picked up a can of mushrooms and smiled. "I'm shopping for groceries. We hardly have anything in stock for dinner, so I came here to get a couple things. Lexi's helping."

Her eyes almost boggled out from behind her glasses. "No way. Lexi Monroe? She's here too? Where's Hale? I thought you guys were always together?"

I chuckled at her. "He's at home watching our cousin with Nada, and-" I was cut off for the second time today as she grabbed my arms wildly. "Nada's hanging out with you too? Man, I feel left out! We've known each other since middle and you hardly invite me over! Well, forget my folks right now! I'm tagging along with you!"

I gaped at her with a wild expression. "Wha-? But I already-"

"Hey, Maddie! We could use some more people! Feel free to join us, alright!" I turned around, seeing Lexi with three boxes of linguine pasta, smiling brightly.

Maddie pumped her fists up in the air. "Yes! Hey, why don't we have a sleepover at your place tonight? It's been forever since we had one!"

I was about to interject, but Lexi beat me to it. "Great idea! I'm sure Kari wouldn't mind having a couple of girl friends over for a night, right Kari?"

Sighing in defeat, I hung my head and mumbled. "Okay. I'll try to work something out with Hale." The two girls cheered, giving each other high fives. As we were about to finish up our round of grocery hunting, a ball rolled over in our direction. Lexi picked it up with a questionable look, until she heard a voice call up.

"Hey, that's my brother's ball." We looked up and saw, yet, another friend of ours. Mika Palmer was racing up to us, but came to a halt as she took a quick glance at our faces. "Hey, guys! Didn't expect to see you bunch here! What are you guys doin'? Catching up on the times?"

Maddie waved happily at the dark skinned girl. "Hey, Mika! We're just helping Kari get some groceries then we'll be heading our way over to her place for a sleepover!"

Mika Palmer is one of my bestest friends of all time. She's African-American and had lighter skin than most black people. She has light honey eyes and her hair is braided in dreads, tied all into one large ponytail. She has a piercing on the top cartilage of her left ear and was wearing a light blue top with denim shorts and white and silver Air Jordan's. With her, you can trust any secret and she'll take with her to the grave.

"Nu-uh! Why didn't I get invited? I thought we were besties, Kari.. but.. I guess I was wrong.." She gave a melodramatic sigh, throwing her arm over her eyes. "It's alright.. I'll live.."

I rolled my eyes and gave a small laugh. "Alright, you can join us. But no more people! It's already a crowd back at home!"

Mika whooped with joy. "Cool! I'll go tell my folks and get my stuff back at home. I'll see you at your place tonight!"

We all waved her bye for the time being, as we lined up to check out. After checking out, we loaded the groceries and got into my brother's car. We made a couple of quick stops along the way: one for gasolene and the others for Maddie and Lexi to get their stuff together. After we got their stuff and their parent's approval, we made a drive back to my home. I parked into the driveway, and noticed Hale was outside, talking to Mika who arrived earlier than expected.

Getting out of the car, Hale looked over at me with a look saying 'we need to talk about this later'. I chuckled in embarrassment as Lexi and Maddie were helping with unloading the groceries. Hale saw them and gave me a bewildered look. I walked up to him as Mika went into the house, greeting Nada and Marie as she made her way in.

Hale gawked at the girls, then back at me. "You can't be serious! You invited all of them?" I shrugged defensively. "They wouldn't drop it! I couldn't help it!" Hale squeezed his eyes with his fingers, letting out an annoyed sigh. "Fine, but anymore of you females running around here, and I'll-"

He was cut off, speaking far too soon. "Hey! Hale!" We glanced over to our left and noticed someone walking up to us from the sidewalk near our driveway. One other friend, this time a friend of mine and Hale's since we were kids. She had a short bob haircut with a sky blue ribbon headband and pink pearl earrings. Her hair was a light honey brown color and had light brown eyes with fair skin. She wore a nice sunflower yellow tunic and a pink skirt with yellow flip flops. Her name is Elise Haywood, and for a long time now, she seems to have a crush on my brother, though she never said a word to him about it.

"Hey there, Elise! It's been a while, huh?" I waved at her merrily. Hale stiffened slightly, though I didn't pay much attention to him. "Oh, I was just taking an evening stroll around the neighborhood, until I saw the whole lot of you out here. What's going on? Is it a party?"

I gave her a grin. "It's a sleepover. Want to join?" Hale jerked his head over at me with a glare and his face flushing.

"Sure! I hope it's not a bother. Just let me tell my parents and I'll go get my stuff." With that said, she scampered off with a skip in her steps. I could tell she was happy about it, and hopefully she could muster the courage needed to get closer to my brother. Speaking of brothers, I glanced up at Hale, who looked like he was about to blow off steam from his ears.

"Kari, no more invites. You heard what dad said, remember? We can't just invite people out of the blue into our home while they're gone!" I stuck my tongue out at him. "Relax, would you? Besides, this will be a great opportunity for you to get to know Elise more!" I left with a cocky grin as I left him standing there, flushing like a bright red tomato.

As I made my way into the house and towards the kitchen, I noticed that all the groceries were put away, thanks to Nada and Mika. Mika has been in my house a couple times in the past, so she knew her way as much as Nada did. I thanked the both of them for their help, getting a smile from Mika and a nod from Nada. Nada walked up to me and hugged me with an apology for bursting out like she did earlier. I hugged her back, accepting her apology and forgave her. Moments later, Hale walked into the house with Elise next to him, carrying her bag in tow.

She insisted bashfully that she could carry it, but he told her that he didn't mind doing the favor. She flushed faintly as he went up to take her bag into the bedroom where Marie slept in.

After an hour, all of us were chatting happily as we ate my homemade spaghetti and meatballs with fresh rolls that I heated up from the miniature oven. Placing all the dirty dishes into the dishwasher and setting it to wash, we all gathered up for a movie. I went upstairs to fold the clothes, but when I arrived to the laundry room, I found all the clothes neatly fluffed and folded in place. On the top of my pile of clothes, I found a note; it was from Nada.

I picked it up and read it to myself.

'

Kari,

I'm sorry for getting off on you like I did. I really can't say what's bugging me, but I'll do my best to keep my head up. Thanks for being there and worrying about me. I folded the clothes when Hale told me you left to get groceries. I hope this makes up for earlier.

Nada'

I smiled at her kind notion. She's a real friend, that's for sure.

'I just hope she's okay though.. I wish she would tell me what's wrong.'

I picked up my pile of clothes and took them over to my room to put them away. Hearing someone at my doorway, I turned to see Lexi standing there. "Need any help?" I shook my head. "No, it's okay. Just some clothes that I wore for the past few days."

"You make it sound like you guys left somewhere. Where did you go?" She gave me a curious glance, raising a well groomed brow. I looked back at my pile of clothes, picking up the undergarments and went to put them away in my drawer.

"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me."

Lexi looked surprised by that and walked over. "Come on, I know you're not one to beat around the bush. Try me."

Just as the proof and answer I needed received its cue, Bugs poked his head out of the mirror, along with Daffy's and Nawt's. Lexi let out a short scream, falling back onto my bed. "What the hell!"

Bugs greeted me with a grin then glanced over at Lexi. "Eh, sorry about that. Did we come at a bad time, Kari?"

I shook my head and greeted Nawt and Daffy, who greeted back happily, as well as Lexi. Lexi sat there stunned, her eyes now twice as big. Then I wondered about something and looked over at Bugs.

"Hold on, what are you guys doing here? Not to be rude, but this is a surprise to see you bunch here!"

Bugs stepped out of the mirror and into my room. Nawt and Daffy mimicked his movements and followed suit. "Eh, your brother invited us over for a movie. We already ate dinner, so you don't need to feed any of us. We ate over at Nawt's place just a moment ago."

Nawt walked over to me and pulled me up in an embrace and a kiss on the cheek. "Sorry we didn't tell you. We thought Hale would have said something to you."

I scowled. "No, he didn't. I was off buying groceries. Who else is coming?" Daffy smoothed his glossy black feathers. "Practically everyone. Why?"

I mentally face palmed, wanting to choke Hale for bothering to lecture me about inviting people over when he's invited half of Looney Tune Land over for a movie!

Lexi got up, still keeping her eyes on the people in the room with us. "Whoa.. You're Bugs Bunny!" Bugs turned to face her and raised a brow. "The one and only. And what's your name, miss?"

She knocked herself out of her stupor and glanced over at me with bewilderment and excitement. I nodded to confirm her thoughts. She looked back and cleared her throat. "My name's Lexi. Lexi Monroe. I'm a friend of Kari and Hale's."

Bugs walked over and shook her hand. "Pleased to meet ya, Lexi. A friend of Kari and Hale's is a friend of ours!"

We heard the sound of rushing footsteps running up towards my room and saw everyone else at my doorway with awestruck features.

"Nu-uh! This for real?" cried Mika, her eyes flickering from each of us. Maddie took off her glasses and cleaned then with the rim of her shirt then placed them back on, gawking at the bunch of us. Elise let out a tiny cry, unable to grasp what she was seeing in front of her. Hale saw the ticked off look I was giving him and he grinned bashfully, rubbing the back of his head.

'This is going to be a long evening..'

Hale and I soon began explaining to the girls what happened six years back, just like we did with Nada, and then told them of the current situation as it stands. All of them wore amused and shocked looks, switching glances every now and then with the two Tunes and Monstar that was standing with us in my room.

After we finished explaining, they were still in a stupor, but were alright nonetheless. Bugs then put in, shuffling over. "I hope you kids don't mind, but I should go get the others and bring 'em over before they throw a fit. I'll be back in a few, okay?"

We nodded as he jumped into the mirror to fetch the rest of the gang.

We all decided to go downstairs to wait for everyone's arrival. Nawt glanced over at the girls then looked back at me, an idea formulating into his mind.

I took note of it and nudged him gently. "What are you thinking about?" He grinned. "I think you're friends should meet mine, don't you think?"

I took a moment to process what he meant, and giggled. "Good idea. But let's leave Elise out of it." He gave me a questionable look. "Who's Elise?" I pointed to the girl next to Hale with the blue ribbons in her hair. "She's interested in my brother, and I'm trying to get them paired up; not only cause they look cute together, but so he'll get off my back every time he sees us together." Nawt chuckled and pecked my cheek. "I wouldn't worry so much about that, love. He'll get over it." I drew myself closer to his being as he wrapped a muscular arm around me.

After waiting for a good five minutes or so, Bugs emerged downstairs with everyone else in tow. The Monstars walked in, Bupkus looking around for Marie. Nada walked up to him and handed the toddler over to him, who cooed with joy at the sight of her favorite alien. Bupkus took her with a bright smile, tickling the tiny tot's nose gently. He froze, however, when he looked up and saw Lexi, who was also looking at him with a wondrous expression. Nada joined up with Blanko and the pair took a seat on one of the sofas.

The same went with Bang, as he was gazing over at Maddie, who was jamming to her music from her iPod. The large green alien walked over and cleared his throat to gain her attention. "Uh, mind if I sit next to you?" Maddie glanced up momentarily, then took a double take at the giant before her. "Uh.. Sure. No problem. Sit here." She patted the space next to her and he gratefully took a seat next to her. They both then started a conversation about what she was listening to, and surprisingly, they shared the same tastes in music!

Nawt and I exchanged knowing glances with one another and smiled. I turned to look over at Pound, who was already making himself comfortable with Mika, the two talking over about what movie they should watch, although they kept agreeing on the same ones, which were ones they liked.

'I think this is going to be an interesting night for all of us..'

Glancing over at Hale, I noticed he was showing off his old Tune Squad uniform that he wore the night of the Ultimate Game to Elise, who was marveling the piece of clothing with awe.

The Tunes were chatting among one another merrily, and some were joining in conversations with the Monstars and the girls. Daffy and Sly were over with Bupkus, Marie, and Lexi enjoying a very interesting conversation about what can fall faster from a sixty foot building, a watermelon or a bowling ball.

Nada and Blanko were laughing as they were listening to Yosemite, Foghorn, Taz, Barnyard Dog and Elmer talking about what hunting season is in and the kinds of caliber Yosemite and Elmer used for them. They eventually ended up in a boastful competition of which one was the best hunter.

Pound, Mika, Lola and Bugs were debating on the variety of movies there were in option for watching, as well as what would be the most suited for everyone as a general audience (remember that Marie is still a little kid, so no scary movies).

On the opposite end, Hale, Elise, Wile, Roadrunner, Witch Hazel and Tweety were laughing about something or other, mostly about Wile never being able to catch up to Roadrunner, no matter how hard or how many times he tried. Wile gave a dirty look at Tweety who was laughing the most, certainly not amused by the least.

I took a seat with Nawt as the both of us talked about the possible pairing working out and just how my brother had the gall to give me a complaint about me inviting the girls when he invited more people than I could count. He laughed merrily at the subject and pulled me close. After finally choosing a movie, everyone settled down on the chairs and sofas, and some sat on the carpet as we played the film.

I relaxed in Nawt's arm, feeling content at this wonderful moment that everyone is having. For once, everyone wasn't worrying and were at peace.

But for how long will it last? I shook that worried thought out of my head, enjoying the movie with all my loved ones.
