After Bugs and Darius' talk with the MonStars, the Toons, the girls and Michael were engaging in a quick practice session until the two came back through the gym's double doors. Upon seeing Darius and Bugs walk into the gym, Daffy walked up to them and said to Bugs, "Well, there you are, Bugs! Where have you two been?"

"Eh, just walking through the Warner Bros. Boardwalk, Daffy," Bugs said while munching on a carrot. "We actually caught up with the MonStars during our walk, though."

"The MonStars, huh?" Daffy said, then he glared at Bugs as he asked, "You didn't spill the beans about our secret weapons, did you?!"

Bugs calmly pushed Daffy away from his face as Darius said, "No, we just gave them some advice about ... their relationships."

Darius' comment ended up catching the attention of the Winx Club girls, who quickly rushed up to Bugs, Daffy and Darius as Stella asked, "Relationships, huh? So, who are the lucky ladies?"

"Who would actually date the MonStars?" Musa asked curiously.

"Do they need help in opening up to their girlfriends?" Flora said. "I know a certain somebody who can help them with that."

"Well, those guys mentioned they were in love with the girls who came with Darius here," Bugs said, motioning to the direction of Victoria, Nada, Lindsay, Cleopatra and Sabrina.

The Toons all turned to see the girls, who were blushing due to Bugs mentioning their new relationship with the MonStars. Daffy rushed up to them and said, "Are you girls serious?! Have you forgotten that those big, menacing MonStars are our rivals for this basketball game?!"

"Daffy, just calm down," Victoria said. "I mean, it's only a harmless crush."

"A harmless crush?" Daffy said in complete surprise. "If you call this a harmless crush, I hate to see what you would call a genuine relationship!"

Before Daffy could say anything he would regret, Wile E. Coyote calmly walked up to the girls and cleared his throat as he said, "Uh, you'll have to pardon the reaction from my colleague here. He's just concerned for your personal safety because those MonStars could be a potential threat to your well-being."

"But, Wile E., those MonStars aren't as bad as they seem to be," Cleopatra explained. "They are actually pretty friendly once you get to know more about them. Besides, they are actually more reasonable and they seem to genuinely like us."

"You don't say ..." Wile E. said with a sense of interest.

"Yeah, I mean, for all of their boasting and braggadocio, they turn out to be pretty friendly," Lindsay said. "I just wish they weren't pressured by their boss, so they could prove their friendliness to you all."

"Well, given the current circumstances, I believe we will know about that side of the MonStars after the Ultimate Game," Michael said with a smile. "I will say this, though: if they didn't have the talents of the NBA players, yet they still have that MonStar appearance, I think they are pretty skilled for a group of aliens."

Nada just sighed as she said, "Well, what are we supposed to do? I understand we like those guys and all, but we don't want to do anything that could cause a division within our own team."

"What do you mean by that?" Cleopatra asked in an indignant tone.

Nada elbowed her as she whispered, "Shush, do you want the Toons to be stuck on Moron Mountain?"

Bugs then walked up to the girls and said, "Listen, girls, I'm not known for being the Love Doctor, per se, but if you girls like those MonStars, I don't have any problems with it."

"Really?" The girls said in surprise.

"Yeah," Bugs said as he munched on a carrot. "While I still have mixed feelings about their character, I think you girls could actually change those guys, so they could become better than what they are right now."

"I gotta side with Bugs on this side," Mordecai said. "I don't have a good feeling about those MonStars, but I'm not going to be mad at your girls if you follow your heart."

"Are you sure, guys?" Victoria asked.

Bugs placed a hand on Victoria's shoulder as he said, "Of course, we will be supportive of your decision. Whether we win or lose this game, if the MonStars are willing to make this relationship work, I think they will experience a change in their character as time goes on."

Daffy then walked up to the girls and said, "Yeah, even though I don't trust those goons, I think you girls are the right matches for the MonStars. Not perfect, but at least your hearts are in the right place."

Lindsay then walked up and hugged Daffy as she said, "Thanks for your support, Daffy."

"Hey, I'm all for a good friendship or two," Daffy said with a smile.

"Even though you just judged those girls for liking the MonStars," Bugs said under his breath.

Daffy could only glare at Bugs as he said under his breath, "Don't tempt me, long ears."

Michael smiled at this as he walked up to them and asked the girls, "Girls, are you sure the MonStars are the right guys for you?"

"We're positive, Mr. Jordan," Cleopatra said with a smile. "Even though those guys are rough around the edges, they could be nice guys deep down."

"Well, I can respect that," Michael said with a smile. "At least you girls know what you want out of life."

"Thanks for your support, Mr. Jordan," Victoria said as she hugged Michael.

"You're welcome, Victoria, but you can call me 'Michael'," Michael said as he laughed.

While this conversation was going on, Numbah Four called the group from afar, saying, "Hey, are you guys going to be stuck in your little romance fest or are you going to play some basketball?"

"You know, Numbah Four is right," Bugs said as he picked up a basketball. "We gotta get our heads back in the game! We can't let Swackhammer and his team win this one and risk losing our freedom!"

"Good point, Bugs," Michael said as he and the group placed their hands in a pile. "Alright, everyone, let's get this practice session started, so we can win this bad boy!"

"One, two, three, TOON SQUAD!" The group all said as they rushed to start their practice session.

After the quick conversation, the Toons began their practice session for the Ultimate Game. However, when it came to actually practicing for the Ultimate Game, Bugs, Elmer, Virgil, Kim, Riley, Jenny, Musa and Layla were the only ones who were taking this game seriously. The other Looney Tunes and Cartoon All-Stars were all engaging in their usual cartoon antics: Yosemite Sam was shooting at one of the basketballs, Pepé Le Pew was prancing around the court, Yakko and Wakko were flirting with all of the girls in the gym, Taz was spinning around as usual and Foghorn Leghorn was hitting the Barnyard Dawg's behind with a piece of 2x4 wood.

While Daffy was flying around, Yosemite Sam accidentally shot him from behind, causing him to land on the ground and getting on the head with a basketball. Wile E. eventually grabbed the basketball, then the Road Runner ran up to him and took the ball away from him as he ran around the court. After running around the court for a while, the Road Runner ran past Michael Jordan as he crashed through one of the gym's walls. Wile E. Coyote tried to leave the gym to catch him, but the desert scenery was revealed to be a screen slide as Wile E. bumped into it and got tangled into the screen slide.

Michael and Darius could only shake their heads as Michael looked up and said, "Okay, has anyone around here ever played basketball?"

Suddenly, the doors opened and a blonde female bunny wearing a black basketball tank-top, black sunglasses and pink shorts entered the gym, catching everyone's attention as she said, "Um, I have! I'd like to try out for the team."

Yakko and Wakko walked up to her as they said, "Well, Helloooo, Nurse!"

Bugs turned around to see the blonde bunny as he said, "Hey!"

Darius could only look at the reactions of the Toons as he walked up to Bugs and asked, "Hey, Bugs, who's the new Toon?"

"Well, don't ya realize it, doc?" Bugs said. "She's my pristine dream, the cream of my coffee, the apple of my eye and the rabbit of my dreams!"

The female blonde bunny smiled at Bugs as she walked up to him with the basketball tucked under her arm and shook hands with Bugs, saying, "Hi, my name is Lola Bunny."

Bugs said her name in amazement and began to introduce himself when he was saying, "Well, helloo ... my name is ..." Bugs then belched his name by accident, "Bugs!"

Lola giggled at the rabbit's antics as Bugs asked, "So, you wanna play a little one-on-one, doll?"

Lola's eyes flashed with fire as she said, "Doll, huh?"

Bugs' eyes, on the other hand, had hearts as he said with a smile, "Uh-huh!"

"Well, let's make our way on the court ... Bugs," Lola said as she walked onto the court.

"Sure thing!" Bugs said as he rushed out to the court, much to the Toons' amusement.

"Ooh, she's hot," Tweety said as Darius could roll his eyes and smile.

On the court, Lola started to lull Bugs into a false sense of security as she quickly whizzed past the jackrabbit, leaving him in a twist while she jumped up and dunked the ball with ease.

"Now, that's what I call vertical prowess," Darius said to himself.

Lola then walked up to Bugs and brought his face up to her face as she coolly said, "Quick pro-tip, Bugs, don't ever call me ... doll."

Lola blew her ears back up as Bugs jumped up and said, "Check!" while he fell on the court like a piece of wood.

"Hey, nice playing with ya," Lola said as she was about to leave the gym.

However, Darius quickly stopped her and said, "Wait, Lola! You know, you seem to have the type of skillset and basketball prowess that could be beneficial for this team. How would you like to be a part of the Toon Squad?"

"Really? Sounds intriguing," Lola said with a sense of interest.

"Yeah, with skills like that, you could be our secret weapon," Michael said with a smile.

Lola smirked as she said, "Alright, I'm in. I can't wait to show you guys what I got!"

Victoria smiled at Lola as she said, "Thanks, Lola. Before you join us for practice, you have to see Granny and Witch Hazel because they need to take measurements for our team uniforms."

"Sounds like a plan," Lola said as she walked to see Granny and Witch Hazel.

Bugs was still staring at Lola lovingly as Buster walked up to his mentor and said, "Heh-heh, smooth moves, casablunder. Where did you learn those types of pick-up lines? Johnny Bravo?"

"Eh, you'll understand when you're older, Buster," Bugs said.

"Real smooth, Bugs," Michael said with a laugh.

"Eh, she's obviously nuts about me," Bugs said with a sigh.

Darius snickered to himself as he said, "Yeah, obviously."

"Looks like I'm not the only one who falls in love easily," Pepé said as he picked up a basketball and sighed. "Mais oui."

"Alright, where's the ball at?" Darius asked as Pepé passed him the basketball.

Darius looked around at everyone as he said, "Alright, everybody, let's do some drills."

Darius was about to engage in a practice drill, but he noticed he was still wearing his golf cleats. Darius then looked up at everyone and said, "Before we start, however, does anyone have a pair of sneakers?"

Bugs looked at Darius and asked, "Uh, sneakers, you say?"

The Toons all looked down to see that they did not have a spare pair of sneakers to lend to Darius. Darius could only sigh as Michael walked up and said, "Well, somebody's gotta go to his house and pick up his basketball gear."

"Wait a minute, to his house ... in 3D land?" Daffy asked in surprise.

"Yeah, and whatever you do, don't forget my basketball uniform from the Basketball Academy," Darius explained.

"Wait a minute, your uniform from the Basketball Academy?" Layla asked with a raised eyebrow.

Darius looked at Layla and said, "I always wear it under my streetball uniforms every game."

The Looney Tunes and the Cartoon All-Stars all gave disgusted looks at Darius until he stepped up and said, "Hey! I washed them after every game."

"Oh, sure," Sylvester said sarcastically.

"I did!" Darius said in defense.

While the Toons continued their practice for the Ultimate Game, Bugs and Daffy decided to go to the upperworld to grab Darius' basketball clothes.

Looks like things are looking bright for the future victory of the Toon Squad in the Ultimate Game. The Toons have a new teammate, Lola Bunny, who gets recruited for their basketball team and the girls have a good support system in terms of their relationship with the MonStars. Oh, and don't woory: The MonStars will have a plan of revenge targeted at their boss for his actions leading up to the Ultimate Game. What will be the plan for the MonStars? Will Hades help the MonStars stand up to their boss? What will happen when Bugs and Daffy enter the Real World? "Stay Tooned" for the next chapter to find out, folks!
