Well, I have Chapter 21 here for you all! The end of this story is almost near! But hey, I'll make a sequel to this, so do not fret one bit! :3

Enjoy!

All of us turned our eyes to who just made their entrance, and there at the doorway to our lockers stood Eminem in his white MC glory! I felt like screaming like a frantic and giddy fan girl, but I remained calm and collected.

Everyone erupted with loud cheers and screams of excitement. Swackhammer got up from his seat, taken completely aback from the white rapper's entrance. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! I didn't know Dr. Dre was in this fanfiction!"

Eminem was wearing the Tune Squad uniform and walked over to us with a sly grin. "You guys need some help?"

I pointed out with glee written all over my face, "That's our fifth player!" He ran up with us and I started giving out the introductions. I really couldn't believe that one of mine and my brother's favorite singers is actually here and talking to me in person!

I looked at everyone and gave them the lay down. "Okay, we need to score two points; we have 76 and the Monstars have 77."

Eminem nodded his head in understanding. "Okay, here's how I see it: Duck, you get the ball and throw it to the girl bunny. Then, you dish it out back to the guy bunny. You swing it around to miss melody over here, and you go to the hole and dominate!"

I looked at him with amazement, but had to burst his bubble. "That sounds like a good plan, but there's the rub: we're playing on defense!"

The Tunes moaned at the situation and Eminem gave a small laugh and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, I'm not familiar with offense or defense. Okay, you guys have to listen to Kari on this one."

I then thought of a plan and gathered everyone closer so they could get wind of what's going on. "Alright, here's the deal: someone has to steal the ball, give it to me, and I'll score before the timer runs out."

Eminem nodded with satisfaction and wonderment. "Got it. Now, don't lose that tactic and confidence. Alright, paws, hands, and wings in here! Let's go!" They placed their hands on top of his and mine, gave it a shake, and got to their positions.

Third Person POV:

Eminem walked over to his position said to himself, "This is why I'm here. I'm up for any challenge. I was born to fight."

Daffy then tugged on his shorts to get his attention. "Pardon me. Mr. Eminem, something's been really bugging me. Just how did you get here anyway?"

Glancing at the MC expectantly, Eminem merely shrugged. "The authoress is a fan of mine and wanted me to take a part in this story of hers. Pretty awesome chick, too." Pound looked over his shoulder as he listened to the conversation and shook his head in disgust, walking to the other side to get into his position.

Daffy looked at Eminem and said, "Uh-huh. Oh, that's how it goes." Eminem switched his attention to Pound, who was smirking and making faces at Lola. He turned back to Daffy with a clever grin. "Hey, do you see that chunky guy over there?" He bend down and whispered into Daffy's ear and told him his marvelous idea.

Daffy nodded, an evil grin spreading across his face. "Yeah, yeah. Ooh, I can do that! Ooh, that's good! Yes!"

Eminem got to his position and said, "Let's do this! You da duck!"

Bupkus strutted to the court and received the ball from Marvin. The small referee said, "Now, let's all play fair. Here..." but was cut off abruptly when Bupkus elbowed him. Eminem taunted, "C'mon, aliens! This rapper's waiting for ya! I'm not afraid!"

Kari almost squealed in sheer happiness at the rapper's taunts.

'That is like his song that he sung! Oh my goodness, this is too good to be true! Aiiee!',she thought to herself, trying to maintain her inner fan girl. Hale seemed to be doing just the same as he pursed his lips together, his headache slightly subsiding.

Daffy placed a football helmet on his head and muttered to himself, feeling completely energized and ready to go. "It's gut-check time!"

Bupkus threw the ball to Pound, and Daffy charged at Pound flying right into his gut.

The giant orange alien was knocked off his feet and dropped the ball. Eminem darted over and took a hold of the ball, smirking at the Monstar leader. "I think that's mine." He dribbled the ball around the court, motioning for Kari to prepare herself. He shouted, "I'm going this way! Wait, no I'm not!" He quickly tossed the ball to Kari.

Pound regained composure and ran after Eminem.

The white MC yelled over his shoulder. "Don't ever trust an earthling, son!" Kari caught the ball, and Nawt and Bupkus went after her. Nawt blocked Kari, this time not allowing her any space. However, she managed to bypass him and tossed the ball over to Lola. Lola dribbled the ball, then Blanko and Bang surrounded her on either of her sides.

Blanko shouted, "Get the rabbit!"

Bang snarled, "Get the girl!

Just as they were about to steal the ball from her, Daffy shouted with his arms waving about. "C'mon, I'm open!"

Lola saw this and threw the ball to Daffy, but the mallard got backhanded by Bupkus. He growled with vengeance. "That's mine!" He was about to catch the ball, but Bugs caught it with his ears and threw it towards Eminem. "Not today!"

Eminem caught the ball and Blanko smirked, making his way towards the rapper. "Bring it on, dude!" Eminem cunningly extended his leg and tripped the tall blue player.

Eminem shook his head. "Sorry, bruh." He ran down and tossed the ball to Kari. Bang ran after her, making her run a bit faster, but soon found herself facing Pound. He began to charge towards her, giving an evil toothy grin. "You're mine!"

He was about to grab her, but tripped over, allowing Kari to step over and onto his head. Thinking quickly, Kari jumped off his head and bounced right off his butt, sending her flying towards the basket.

Normal POV:

Everything was in slow motion like before as I made the jump.

I felt the adrenaline flowing through me as I felt like Michael Jordan flying into the air. I didn't even hear Eminem shouting that he was open. All my focus was on the hoop and getting the ball in there. The hoop was getting closer and within my reach, until Bupkus and Bang jumped up and grabbed on to my legs and my waist!

They tried to pull me harder to keep me away from shooting. I felt scared and thought that we were going to lose.

Miraculously, I suddenly remembered what Bugs and Daffy said. I'm in Looney Tune Land; I could do anything here!

I stretched out my arm and saw that it became really long like a noodle. As soon as I got it close to the hoop, I prepared myself to dunk the ball.

'Game over, Swackhammer! We win!'

I slam dunked the ball into the hoop and the time buzzed.

I held on to the hoop and made a flip, landing on my feet on the court floor. I suddenly heard everyone in the stadium erupt with loud cheers.

Looking over at the scoreboard, it read that the Tunes have 78 and the Monstars have 77. We did it! We actually won!

I turned around and ran over towards my teammates and Hale with open arms. Hubey hollered happily into the mic. "THE TUNES WIN!"

Everyone boomed loudly with cheers and whistles. Hale and I slapped some high fives, and the entire team bombarded me with hugs.

Eminem patted my shoulder and smiled at me. "Good game, girl! You did awesome out there, and I got to tell ya, you were like a pro!" I grinned brightly at his comment. "You did a great job too, Em! You could qualify to play for the NBA aside from being a rapper!"

He shook his head, chuckling gently. "Wish I could, but I can't. Rappin' has got me too busy and besides, I got my family and fans to take care of. Thanks though!"

I nodded in understanding, still happy that he helped us to win. Before he left, he had a picture and a Sharpie marker. He quickly wrote something on it and handed it to me. I took a look and it was a photo of him from one of his latest concerts, with something written on it. "To Kari and Hale, with lots of admiration and pride. Keep on playin' and dreamin'! - Eminem"

I looked up at him with childish happiness dancing in my eyes. "Thank you so much!" He nodded. "You are most welcome. Well, catch ya later!" With that said, he made his exit out of the court and was gone.

I squealed and ran over to Hale, showing him the picture and autograph. "Hale! Isn't this awesome? He gave us his picture and signed it! Him! Eminem!"

He laughed and nodded. "I know, Kari. I was there. I can't believe it was him either! Whoa..." He placed his hand on his forehead. I tilted my head at him in concern. "Does it still hurt?"

He shook his head, still smiling. "Nah, the pain is gone. Witch Hazel gave me something for it. Speaking of which, she says she'll need to see you. Somethin' about your necklace.."

Giving him a confused, I was about to ask him until we both winced at a loud voice booming from the other side. We both switched our eyes over to where the screaming was coming from and saw Swackhammer berating the Monstars again, with more fury than before.

We walked over to the center of the court and saw Swackhammer got at their throats.

He yelled and seethed with his cigar still in his mouth. "Losers!"

"Sorry." the Monstars responded.

"Choke artists!" Swackhammer yelled.

"Sorry again." the Monstars answered.

Swackhammer growled angrily at them. "Wait till I get you back on Moron Mountain!" Furious, he stomped on Bupkus's foot causing the purple alien to howl in pain at his aching foot.

'What a jerk! This guy needs to be taught a lesson... and he will.'

Swackhammer turned to face us and yelled at me. "Alright, the party's over! Get in the space ship!" Grinning mentally at the idea I had formulated, I looked up at the Monstars. "Why do you take it from this guy? What power does he really have over you?" Hale raised his brow at my question, then understood what I meant and smirked up at them, as though hinting them further.

Bupkus answered in a scared tone, "Because he's bigger!"

Pound quivered, "He's bigger..." and Bang finished, "Than we used to be." The Monstars got the hint and turned their attention towards Swackhammer and growled, "Wait a minute!"

They now realized that they are no longer as small as they used to be, thus making Swackhammer the tiny one now.

Swackhammer noticed the knowing glint in their eyes, and began to panic. "What are you doing?"

The Monstars advanced on Swackhammer and grabbed him, dragging him down the court.

Bupkus growled, "C'mere you..." Bupkus, Bang, and Nawt dragged Swackhammer to the center of the court. I could tell Nawt was enjoying this the most, as he gave me a more than thankful grin and looked back at Swackhammer with a sinister smile.

This started to freak him out and yell, "Hey, what are you doing? Let go!" Hale and I watched the whole thing and laughed with satisfaction. It does seem that the Monstars weren't the bad guys after all. Nope. It was Swackhammer who caused all this mayhem and suffering, and was now getting his comeuppance at long last.

Not only did the Tunes got their freedom back, but the Monstars got theirs as well, and for them; it was enjoyable and they are savoring every bit of it after a long time of servitude to Swackhammer.

They shoved him and stuffed him into an Acme rocket, then lit the fuze and blasted him off. He flew up toward the ceiling and crashed through it, sending him back to Moron Mountain. The Monstars waved good-bye and so did me and Hale. Hale made a hilarious face as he flew away and I did too.

The Monstars turned their attention towards the Tunes, Hale, and myself. Pound said, "We're very sorry for what we did to you, guys. We didn't mean to. Swackhammer forced us to and all..."

Hale cut him off, placing his hands behind his head. "It's cool, man. You didn't have a choice, really. Just don't let anyone push you around like that. They're not worth it." The Monstars smiled a bit and nodded in agreement.

Pound walked over to Hale. "You're pretty tough for a kid, you know that? You whooped me good with that basketball." Hale shrugged. "You were pinning down my sister; I had to. It's my responsibility to look after her." Pound gave him a proud smile. "And you do a pretty good job at it, too. She's lucky to have a brother like you around." I hugged Hale and smiled at Pound. "He knows he does. He's just macho man about it." Hale gave me an embarrassed glance, his face growing about as red as Nawt's skin color.

Bang sighed a bit in defeat. "Other than having nearly both teams beaten and almost brutally killed, could you two forgive us?"

I gave them a sincere look. "We forgive you. We're not the type to hold grudges against anyone for long and like Hale said, you guys didn't mean to behave like jerks. I'm just glad to know that you guys are no longer enslaved by Swackhammer and are just as free as the Tunes are."

Hale agreed. "Yeah, he was the real jerk around here! You guys had it in you all along, didn't ya?"

The Monstars gave us warm smiles and shrugs. Blanko placed his hand in his palm to hide his blush. Bang pointed his chin and rolled his eyes. By his expression, he looked like he almost said, 'Aw, shucks'. Bupkus wiggled his eyebrows and grinned as if he said, 'Yeah, you know we're the good guys'. Pound shrugged and blushed, while Nawt placed his hand near his chin and smiled.

I remembered the deal and said, "One thing though, and I'm sorry to do this. Bugs, pass me the ball." He tossed the ball to me. I looked back up at the Monstars. "You have to give the NBA their talent back." The Monstars almost forgot and Pound sadly asked, "Do we have to?" I nodded my head, feeling sad about it. "Yeah, it's part of the deal. Touch the ball."

"Hold on a minute, doc!" Bugs intervened before they could touch the ball. He whistled over at Witch Hazel, motioning for her to come over. On a trolly, she had a large cauldron, the one she was working on earlier and four cups of something in there. Bugs took two glasses each and gave them over to each Monstar, all except Nawt.

"What's that stuff, Bugs?" Hale raised a brow in curiosity and sniffed at the contents in the cauldron. He stepped back in uncertainty. "Smells funny.."

Bugs looked over at us. "Well, remember the shards of your necklace?" Hale and I nodded our heads, still not understanding what Bugs is getting at.

"Well you see, Witch Hazel, Nawt and I here talked things over and she agreed to make a potion so they can maintain their physical forms, along with their personalities."

The Monstars, Hale, and I nearly boggled our eyes out.

'No way...'

"But how?" Hale asked incredulously. Bugs chuckled. "I think it's best if Hazel explains that to ya."

Witch Hazel cackled lightly. "The shards, as you already witnessed, wield magical abilities. The blue shards will maintain their personalities as they are, while the purple ones will maintain their forms."

I felt happy and giddy at this new information. Hale was too, even though he was trying to hide it and failed miserably.

'So Nawt can remain the same and not have to go back to being small!'

But Witch Hazel then looked at us with a serious look. "However, they are very scarce. The last remaining crystals that exist are the ones I gave you and your brother, as well as the ones Nawt had in his possession."

I raised my brow. "What do you mean 'had'?" Nawt nervously stepped in. "I gave my crystals over to Hazel so she could make the potion."

Hale looked into the cauldron again. "So is there enough stuff in there for all of them?"

Witch Hazel, to everyone's dismay, including Nawt's and Bugs', shook her head. Bugs gave her a concerned look. "Eh, how come, doc?"

She looked over at Bugs. "Each pair of crystals makes enough for only two full potions. Meaning, that since I received Hale's crystal shards and Nawt's, there will only be enough for four cups. Four cups, four people, and it has to be an entire cup for the potion to work on one individual."

I glanced down and pulled out my crystals.

'It takes a pair for it to work, huh?'

I took off my necklace and approached Witch Hazel with them. "Here, guess I won't be needing this."

I glanced over to Nawt, who stared at me with a surprised and adoring look. "Nawt needs this more than I do."

She nodded and took the crystals, took them off from the wire and crushed them into powder; spreading the remnants into the cauldron. After a good minute or so, the potion was done. "We're lucky! Your crystals were enough to make one potion! Guess they were small enough to amount to only one."

Carefully, she poured the potion into a spare cup until it filled the brim. Hale and Bugs gave each of the Monstars a full cup of the potion, the awkward smell wafting into their noses.

Giving us a look, the Monstars looked down at their portion of potion and shrugged. "Bottoms up!", Pound grunted, taking his serving down in one gulp. The others soon copied his action and downed their drinks. Soon, their bodies started to glow with an aura like mixture of blue and purple, then the glow faded into their bodies completely.

"So, is that gonna be permanent?" Hale asked Witch Hazel in wonderment. She nodded. "Yep! The crystals powers have been fully absorbed into their bodies and have permanently made the changes needed in their bodies for them to remain in those forms, physically and mentally."

I smiled at knowing that they can now remain tall and just as they are, even if they will no longer have the basketball talents of the NBA.

"Okay, so now they can touch the ball?" I lifted the ball up. Bugs and Witch Hazel nodded their heads. "Touch away!" Hale placed his hand on my shoulder and nodded in assurance. I looked back at them and lifted the ball up to the Monstars.

They exchanged glances and turned their attention towards the ball. Bupkus placed his hand first and sighed, "Oh, okay..." Bang placed his hand, then Blanko placed his. When he placed his hand on the ball, he pouted a doggy pout and sighed. "Fair is fair." Pound placed his hand and Nawt was the last person to place his hand. He gave me a nervous look and seemed unsure. I nodded my head, trying not to let my voice break. "It's okay, Nawt. Just touch it. You'll be okay." He touched the ball underneath, and then the ball began to sparkle. The Monstars started to shake, but soon came to a halt with their shaking and the ball glowing brightly. The abilities of the NBA were now safe inside the glowing basketball.

As promised, the Monstars were still the same in their physique. All of them were maybe a few inches shorter, except Nawt, who instead was a few inches taller, reaching up to the others' shoulders or so.

Bupkus glanced down at himself then at the others. "Hey, it worked! The potion worked!" Bang looked like he was gonna cry.. again. Blanko smiled happily, content with the fact that he wasn't back to being small like he used to be. Pound was also happy with the results and looked like he wanted to hug Witch Hazel, but refrained from doing so.

Nawt looked down at me with the most grateful look I had ever seen him give me in a while. He smiled adoringly at me, making those butterflies in my stomach to appear again.

From what I can see, Nawt was about 5'10, while the other were obviously 6 foot and over.

Pound suddenly cleared his throat and approached Bugs. "Could we ask you a favor, Bugs? We don't wanna go back to Moron Mountain."

Bang added, "We hate it up there." Nawt gave a thumbs down with his left hand as he was holding my hand with the other. "It stinks."

Blanko looked in thought about the house that he and the guys found and were staying at. "Um, I was thinking...like, could we stay here with you?" The Monstars gave puppy dog eyes. "PLEASE?"

I felt like laughing as Nawt made puppy dog eyes at them, then looked at me when he heard me laugh and winked. Hale shook his head along with Daffy, who groaned with irritation. "Oh, brother..." Bugs shrugged, "Eh, I don't know if you guys are Looney enough." Bang's eyes nearly popped out of his head and he shrieked, "LOONEY ENOUGH?"

They all dressed as the Looney Tunes and jumped on top of one another, making a pyramid like a squad of cheerleaders, with Nawt at the very top. Then Nawt made a dive and the other caught him and they posed like a bunch of cheerleaders with pompoms that came out of nowhere.

Hale and I could help but laugh so hard at the ridiculous display, and the audience followed after with their own merry laughs as well.

Bugs chuckled along with Lola. "Alright, alright! You guys can stay. Just put away them poms. We don't wanna attract a huge crowd over here."

The Monstars cheered with joy, finally able to stay in a place where they can be happy and with no worries or evil bosses around.

Hale and I were happy for them. I looked over at Nawt as he walked over to my direction, smiling brightly like no other.
