Hey, folks. This is the second cartoon of Roger Rabbit's Wacky Toons. In this one, I will debut an OC dedicated to this story plus a guest character from a Disney movie gem. Read on to find out who they are. Also, the next cartoon will have two Tex Avery characters guest star but you'll also have to find out as well. XD. Anyway, Roger Rabbit belongs to Disney not me. Let's get it.
======Episode 2: Foxy Feast======
The jingle played with the smiling Roger Rabbit as the Opening credits rolled in. Soon, the cartoon began after the intro.
Roger Rabbit was humming a tune along the woods outside his house. The birds were singing a melody along with the jovial rabbit as the sun shines brightly along the scenery. Roger looks at the camera with a smile plastered on his face and taking in the scenery.
"Ah, the great outdoors! So wonderful! I oughta take a stroll for a while!", the rabbit beamed as he straightened his cap sitting on his red tuft of hair between his ears. Little did he know while he trekked on the trail that two figures were watching him.
One was a tall fox wearing a polo shirt with outdoor pants and boots. He had gloves and then had a fang exposed smile licking his lips.
"Mmmm! I'm in the mood for some hossenfeffer today. Wouldn't you agree, Fidget?", the fox spoke with a British accent to his lackey. The lackey in particular is a bat with a clipped ear, crippled wing wearing outdoors outfit but unlike his fox friend, the bat had a peg leg. Fidget cackled loudly much to the fox's chagrin.
"Yes, boss! I love some rabbit chow! How are we gonna get him, Dukey?", the bat said cackling but was soon bonked on the head by Duke to shut him up. Fidget then rubbed his head where he was bonked as Duke glared in annoyance.
"Shut up, you imbecille! Do you want to blow our cover? Just do as I say and for the love of Pete, don't call me Dukey! It's Duke. Got it?!", Duke hissed as Fidget nodded.
"Good. Here's what we're going to do."
Roger was on the trail spotting the birds up in the nest singing and butterflies fluttering past the rabbit. Roger then pulled out some binoculars to see a deer or rather a familiar deer walking through the forest. Roger rubbed his head with one ear trying to figure out the situation. To his amazement, he then sees a skunk behind the deer along with another rabbit.
"Jeepers! Is that my uncle Thumper with Bambi and Flower? It's a small world after all! I wonder how are they're doing? Oh well. Gotta stroll.", Roger said to himself before continuing on his way. However, Duke and Fidget spotted Roger as they wore their disguises as park rangers. Duke smirked with a wily grin as he turned to Fidget.
"There he goes, Fidget. Now you know what we have to do.", Duke told the lackey bat hoping he gets it.
"Yes, Dukey! We'll scare him and then we'll—"
"No, Stupo! We're gonna give him a place to stay and make him comfortable! Understand?!", Duke exasperated hissed at the scatterbrained Fidget as the bat sheepishly grinned.
"Oh yeah. Forgot about that. Make him comfortable. Got It.", Fidget said.
"Just follow the Plan. And one more thing. Don't call me Dukey!", the fox yelled at Fidget before the villains get into character.
Roger stretched his arms as his ears drooped signaling that he's getting tired and needs some place to rest. The rabbit had a tired smile as he slowly walked scanning for a place to sit down.
"Jeepers. I'm bushed. This rabbit needs to take it easy for a bit.", he said as a meter appeared over his head with the needle getting closer to the E and away from the F.
"Pardon me, fellow traveler. Did you say that you need a sit down?", Duke said to the rabbit as both the fox and Fidget approached him. Roger looked at the so-called park rangers with a relieved smile.
"Yes, sir. I've been enjoying nature so far but I need someplace to rest for a bit. Do you know a place I can go and rest?", Roger asked as Fidget being the idiot that he is, almost blew his and Duke's cover.
"Oh! Oh! I know! It's the stewpot for you! Yum-yum-yum! Oww!", Fidget yelped as Duke stuffed a button in the bat's mouth.
"Huh?!", Roger raised an eyebrow at the bat's Outburst for a second. Duke glared elbowing Fidget in the ribs hissing in his ear.
"Fidget, you nitwit! Button your big mouth!", the fox hissed and then smiled getting back into character.
"Oh don't mind him, ol' chap. He's a little eccentric in his work. We're dedicated park rangers, sir.", Duke said as Roger nodded.
"Oh okay. I understand. But do you know a place where I can rest? I'm bushed.", Roger asked only to have his stomach growling.
"And hungry, too.", the rabbit said sheepishly. Duke chuckled while Fidget spat out the button gasping for air.
"Fret not, sir. Let us take you to our humble abode. After all, it's required that we take care of the health and well-being.", Duke said with charm as Roger's naivety got the better of him.
"Why thank you, guys! I surely appreciate it. Yes, siree!", the toon rabbit grinned unaware that Duke had a hungry grin showing his fangs with a thought cloud showing Roger on a plate with an apple in his mouth followed by a can of rabbit meat with Roger's face on it.
"Oh you'll be resting all right.", he said to himself only for Fidget to blurt out something.
"In our stomachs! Ha-ha-ha! OWWWWW!", Fidget yelped as Duke smacks him in the face.
"Dummy up, you dummy!", the fox hissed tired of Fidget's stupidity. The three took off to the nearby cabin where Roger can rest unaware of the fox's true intentions.
And so Roger was situated in a jacuzzi of sorts as he relaxed wearing cucumbers over his eyes. He felt content in the steaming water as Duke and Fidget smirked.
"Oh yes, Fidget. Our plan Is working quite nicely. It will take a while before the jacuzzi really kicks in.", Duke whispered to Fidget as the bat nodded crazily.
"Sure is, Dukey. But didn't you feed him all the carrots before putting him in there?", the bat said only for Duke to scoff.
"Of course not, you flying rodent. We got plenty of carrots, wine, vinegar and other goodies to work with. Those carrots were to fatten him up. See?", Duke told Fidget as he Pointed to a relaxing Roger looking a Little plump.
"Oh. So nice. I can get use to this. I Oughta get me one of these for my lovely home.", Roger said blissfully as only his head was above the water. Fidget grinned singing a song familiar to a certain movie.
"Turkey, lobster, sweet potato pie! Pancakes piled up til they reach the sky.", the bat sung only for Duke to bash him on the head.
"Pay attention, you nitwit! In fact, go get the chicken broth and the other stuff!", Duke hissed only for Fidget to limp faster towards the kitchen to get the supplies. It didn't take long for the bumbling lackey to get the items as Duke smiled evilly.
"Thank you, Fidget. Now to throw in the broth and wine in there. Hee-hee-hee. Hossenfeffer fit for a king.", Duke laughed as he dumped in the items while Fidget did his best to chop up the vegetables in the jacuzzi. The food items wafted in the air going up Roger's nostrils as he wondered what was going On.
"Hey, guys. What's cookin' in here? I'm stuffed already.", Roger yelled as Fidget cackled.
"Why don't you take off your cucumbers, rabbit?!", Fidget cackled as Roger did as he was told. However, the rabbit was soon putting the pieces together.
"Wait a minute! You guys are cookin' me! What gives?", Roger yelled as Duke smirked.
"Oh no reason. Just that I'm kind of hungry here. And you are the guest of honor.", Duke grinned evilly as Fidget cackled like a madman.
"That's right, bunny! You're going to be rabbit chow!", Fidget blurted Out as Roger gulped jumping out of the water.
"P-P-Please! You guys don't wanna eat me! I'm all tough and gamy! Look! Look!", Roger begged only for Duke to yank the rabbit by his ears preventing him from getting away.
"What's the hurry? We like it if you join us for dinner!", Duke chuckled showing his fangs only for Roger to frown and kick him in the face.
"No way, buster! I'm nobody's lunch! I'm outta here!", Roger said running out of the cabin to get away from his hungry enemies. Duke growled in frustration as Fidget tried to make light of their situation.
"That's what I call fast food. Right, Dukey?", Fidget cackled only for Duke to grab the bat by the collar.
"enough with the jokes already! We'll have that rabbit if it's the last thing we do!", the fox yelled before the duo ran or in Fidget's case, limp after the rabbit.
Roger ran down the trail as Duke and Fidget chased after him. The trio were on a wild goose chase until they stopped at a mountain. Roger spotted a bush to jump In as Fidget pointed at the rabbit.
"There he is, boss! We got him this time!", Fidget said with Duke smirking using a netgun.
"Heh-heh-heh! I got you now, rabbit! It's the stew for you!", Duke said firing a net cartridge only for Roger to see It coming his way.
"YIPE!", he yelled jumping into the brush as it whizzed by the brush and hits something instead.
"We got him! We got him!", Fidget cheered as Duke smiled.
"The game's not over yet, my friend! We got to be sure the game's not afoot. They can be kind of crafty you know.", Duke chuckled. Roger spotted something caught in the distance in the net and paled.
"Jeepers! Their goose is surely cooked! But I better not say a word!", Roger whispered. Fidget and Duke ran to their target or rather not the one they've intended. As it greeted them with a crazy sound.
"RAAAAAO! RAOOO!"
"Oh no! It's a mountain lion!", Duke gulped as the big cat swiped the netting with ease and jumped out of it. It soon stalked closer to Duke and Fidget licking her lips.
"N-nice kitty! Good kitty! Don't eat me! My mummy loves me!", Duke whimpered as he and Fidget back into the edge of the cliff. The pair was soon met with the cat roaring ready to Pounce.
"I-I think we should jump.", Fidget sputtered as Duke gulped.
"Are you nuts? Oh well. Nice knowing us.", Duke said as both fell off the cliff and onto the ground leaving a bat and fox shaped hole. The cat left in a scoff being snooty as she thought of getting something else to eat.
"Roger sighed with relief as he went in the other direction.
"Whew. I thought I was going to be dinner for sure. Oh well. Time to go home.", Roger said to himself as he went down the trail to his home. Back on the ground, Duke and Fidget crawled out the holes with bandages and bruises as the fox pulled out his binoculars spotting Roger leaving. He growled in anger refusing to give up.
"I'll have that bunny for dinner if it's the last bloody thing I do!"
Duke and Fidget now recovered from the fall thought up of a trap to capture Roger as they pulled out a carrot pie slice on the trigger with a rope tied to it. Duke snickered to himself along with Fidget as the former explained to the lackey.
"Okay, Fidget. Here's what we're gonna do. When our rabbit friend smells this delicious carrot pie, he'll come here and get him a slice. When he pulls the rope while getting it out, this dome shaped trap filled with poison ivy will get on him and will have an itchy fit. They'll be no escape.", Duke said with an evil chuckle. Fidget went Over to the pie slurping his lips.
"Down the hatch.", Fidget was about to chomp on the slice only for Duke to snatch him out.
"Not for you, imbecille! You'll set the trap off! Wait a minute! He's coming this way! Hide!", the fox hissed pulling Fidget into the bushes. Soon, Roger smelled something good as he happily smiled to himself.
"Yummy. Someone's making carrot Pie! And it has a note on It!", Roger chirped bounding towards the pie with a trigger rope on it. He examined the note saying "Eat Me." before thinking about It.
"C'mon! Eat it, stupid!", Fidget whispered.
" one bite wouldn't hurt.", Rogrpulled the end carefully and tasted the pie and beamed.
"Wow! This tastes pretty good! I Oughta have another one.", the rabbit said slicing sections off without triggering the trap until it was all gone. He felt satisfied with the dessert and left the scene much to Duke and Fidget's frustration.
"Blast! That bloody rabbit didn't trigger the trap! Something's wrong here! WE planned everything and it flopped on us!", Duke banged his fists on the ground while Fidget and the fox examined the trap.
"But, boss. Didn't he pull the rope like this?"
"No, you idiot! Don't do that!", Duke yelled angrily but it was too late for Fidget triggered the trap dropping the dome on the duo surrounding them with the poison ivy.
"AAAaAAAHHH!", both screamed as they scratched profusely due to the poison ivy developing bumps and swollen up like a balloon.
"Fidget, you fool! You imbecille! You idiot!", Duke said through gritted teeth as they were caught in their own trap. Roger heard the commotion not too far and he grew confused.
"Don't those two know that it's not a good idea to play in poison ivy? They need some help.", Roger said rushing to the trap and used some scissors from his overalls pockets and cut the ropes enough for the two villains to escape.
"Why thank you, rabbit. But that doesn't mean you're not on the menu!", Duke now desperate tries to chase after Roger. Fidget just limped like always as Roger frowned.
"Geez! His gratitude's Overwhelming.", Roger sarcastically remarked as the duo chased him around. Somehow, Roger pulled out nails and a hammer with a good idea.
"Yoo-hoo! Come and get me! I'm juicy and tender just for you!", Roger teased the fox as he and Fidget picked up the pace. Once the trio were near a wooden path did Roger rolled out a bucket of glue causing both Fidget and Duke to get stuck. The two enemies grunted and tried to get out of the mess.
"It's glue! That blasted hare trapped us glue!", Duke yelled angrily as Fidget struggled.
"Ugh! I can't move!", Fidget grunted but was confused spotting Roger with the nails and hammer.
"What's he doing with those nails and hammer?", Fidget yelled as Roger grinned grabbing Duke's bushy tail much to the fox's anger.
"Don't you dare! Don't you dare!", Duke yelled only for Roger to laugh.
"No worries, Mr. Fox! Just nailing the situation.", Roger grinned using the nail on the end of tail and hammered it down to the plank causing Duke to roar in pain. Roger laughed himself silly as Fidget snickered to add salt to the wound.
"Unnail my tail! Unnail my tail! UNNAIL MY TAIL!", the mad fox screamed as Roger looked at his watch.
"Well. Would you look at the time. I'm late! I'm late for a very important date! No time to say hello goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!", Roger said before he'd kissed the fox on the forehead. You know, in a similar manner from the movie where Roger kissed Eddie Valiant in a cartoony fashion? The fox growled blowing steam from his nose and ears with a thought bubble of Roger on a plate and gravestone with Fidget's name on it. Roger then took off and ran for his house.
Duke and Fidget were now free from the glue trap and wore a wrapped bandage on his tail wasn't giving up yet. This was now or never as they had a box of firecrackers hoping to roast Roger for the feast. The bat was happy seeing the box of explosives as the demented fox rubbed his gloved hands together maniacally.
"This trap should really get that pesky rabbit for good! With these firecrackers in that trigger rope, that rabbit will stop to pick flowers we've set up for him. You will sneak up on him and light the firecracker and BLAM-O! He's roasted hossenfeffer tonight!", the fox laughed as Fidget held a lighter near the spare box.
"Oh yeah! Yeah-yeah-yeah! All I need to do is light up these babies and rabbit chow time! Hee-hee-hee!", the crazy bat cackled with Duke's eyes bugged out the sockets snatching the lighter away from the spare box of firecrackers.
"No-no! You'll blow us all up to smithereens, stupo! I forgot one thing, once you light it up near the rabbit, GET OUTTA THERE! Understand?", the angered fox warned hoping Fidget gets the message. Now the two villains heard Roger skipping towards the flowers as Duke snatched Fidget to a nearby bush. The rabbit didn't notice the firecrackers near the flowers as he examined them.
"These flowers are perfect for my wonderful home. I guess picking some wouldn't hurt.", Roger said to himself as he picked the flowers. Duke turned to Fidget handing him the Lighter and match.
"Now's your chance, Fidget! Get going!", the fox warned as Fidget hustled quietly to where Roger is Picking the flowers. Fidget heard Roger singing "Smile, Darn Ya Smile." As the cheeky bat went to the firecrackers.
"This Oughta fix ya, bunny! Roast bunny anyone?", the bat silently chuckled as he tried to strike a match. The bat grew frustrated trying to strike the match but the lighter wouldn't do anything.
"C'mon, you stupid lighter! Light the match! I want rabbit on my plate!", Fidget grumbled. Roger was still picking flowers until he smelled the gas from the lighter and raised his ears in alarm.
"Jeepers! Who's burnin' something out here? Wait a second!", Roger then spotted something in the corner of his vision being Fidget's lighter as the rabbit narrowed his eyes at the bat.
"Hey, you! Put that lighter back! You'll burrn the forest down! And you're that bat who is with that hungry fox!", Roger said as Fidget cackled.
"You got that right, pal! And once I light these babies by the flowers, it's rabbit chow!", Fidget laughed with Roger confused.
"What are you talking abo—Uh-oh! You have firecrackers?! What are you using them for?!", Roger yelled as Fidget smiled.
"Why don't you come and stop me, chump?", the crazy fiend said only for Roger to grab hold of the lighter.
"Glad you asked! Give it to me!"
"Never!", both boys wrestled on the ground in a dust cloud as punches and whacks can be heard. The screaming and yelling got Duke frustrated seeing the lighter fly out the dust cloud and in his glove.
"Must a fox do everything by himself? Fine!", Duke grumbled as he ran to the firecrackers by the flower patch and got ready to strike the firecrackers but noticed a switch on the side of the lighter.
"No wonder! The safety was on! Stupid Fidget! Anyway, where was I? Oh yes. Hossenfeffer tonight!", the fox said striking the firecrackers successfully as he cackled evilly licking his lips. The scuffle between Roger and Fidget stopped as they heard sparks cracking On the explosives as Roger asked Fidget.
"Did you hear that?! It's sparks of some kind!"
"Oh no! Dukey must've lit the firecrackers! I gotta get outta here!" Roger and Fidget said respectively as the wily fox laughed. The trio didn't notice this but the sparks also traveled to the box of explosives and the trio stopped laughing and realized what happened next.
"Oh no! It's gonna be the 4th of July tonight Now you two have done it now!", Roger yelled as Duke's pupils shrank and his eyeballs grew big in fear like a dumb deer in headlights.
"Mummy!", as soon as he uttered those words did the firecrackers explode in comical fashion as the music being played in 4th of July celebrations aired Out as the boys screamed for mercy. The fireworks were in the sky catching the attention of outsiders. Boy was that fox and bat stupid as ever.
The explosives were no more but the guys were a little burned with bandages and the trees looked like they've seen better days. Not only that, the animals glared at the fox and bat snarling in comic fashion. Roger groggily got up looking frazzled as his flowers were ruined. The rabbit wobbled goofily while Fidget and Duke moaned in pain.
"Jeepers! Talk about getting your goose cooked. BBQ'd for that matter. Wowsers!", Roger's eyes turned to hearts and panted like a dog as jazzy sax music played showing Jessica Rabbit in a jeep stepping out in her ranger outfit from Trail Mix-Up and walked over to the three boys as Duke and Fidget also looking a hot mess panted like dogs ogled at the ginger beauty. Jessica sighed at the mess before her as she cleared her throat.
"Care to explain what happened here? Which one of you is responsible for the firecrackers?", Jessica said with her hands on her hips sternly. Duke and Fidget smiled nervously pointing their fingers at Roger hoping to weasel their way Out of it.
"He did it, Mrs. Ranger. We tried to stop him from setting the forest on fire but we were too late!1", Duke said putting On a Thespian act crying his eyes out as Fidget nodded.
"Yep. And now he's goin' to jail! Heh-heh-heh!", Fidget cackled as Jessica turned her attention to Roger.
"Is this true? Are you responsible for the explosives?", Jessica asked but Roger shook his head.
"Not me, ma'am! I'll never do a thing like that to nature! I love it to bitsies! Those two over there did it in hopes of making a stew out of me!", Roger explained only for Duke to yell dramatically.
"Lies! All lies! He did it, Miss! He's just angry because we told the truth!", the fox said hoping Jessica would buy into his act. However, Fidget's stupidity would help backfire as Roger picked up a salvageable siding of the explosives box.
"I got proof, Ms. Ranger! This should help!", Roger said as Jessica took a look at the evidence. Fidget's eyes paled while Duke glared at his lackey. The box read AJAX Firecrackers but the writing proved Roger's innocence which read, "Dukey Fox and Fidget" in Fidget's somewhat atrocious handwriting. Jessica then approached the bat and fox cuffing them.
"You two are under arrest for not only setting off explosives in the campsites, but also hunting in a no-hunting zone hence the mountain lion you caught in the net, impersonating a park officer. I was on to you both the whole time.", Jessica smirked as she hauled both in one hand and gently carried Roger to the jeep.
"As for you, you won't be charged but you will need some first aid attention in my office. There's room in the front seat of my jeep. Why don't I get you comfortable after I put these two in the back.", Jessica smiled as Roger thumped his foot to make his uncle Thumper proud. Duke and Fidget groaned as they were parked in the backseat cuffed.
"You idiot! You fool! AAH! You imbecille!", Duke said angrily while sobbing due to his plans ruined while Fidget cackled quietly to himself. Roger grinned as Jessica stroked the arm of the rabbit lovingly as the toon rabbit loved every bit of it.
"Oh. This is nice! I thought all the critters' goose was cooked.", Roger said in relief as Jessica had a sultry smile while driving off.
"Remember, only you can prevent forest fires.", the ginger ranger said huskily as Roger nodded.
"Oh yes, ma'am!", he said as he enjoyed the company of the ranger. The story ends off with Duke wailing and Fidget cackling but not before the fox yelled.
"I HAAAAATE THAAAT RAAAABBITT!", the fox yelled in a manner of a certain egg-bellied scientist that has beef with a speedy blue rodent.
"And cut! That's a wrap, everyone! Let's take 5! That's pretty rare that Roger never futzes up his lines!", Raul smirked at Roger as he had a look of being on the spot but shrugged it off. Herman also felt impressed by his friend's own first solo cartoon.
"Impressive, Rog! You did great in your first solo act, bud! We oughta celebrate at the club Mickey runs in Main Street of Toontown!", the gruff baby said to his buddy as Roger sighed sadly.
"If only Eddie were here to do this with me.", the rabbit said but Herman grinned.
"I feel ya but you know his busy schedule helpin' toons out. Especially helping agroup of teenagers and that clumsy dog of theirs. Ever since he and Delores were changed into toons, they've been busy crackin' cases left and right. But hey, he's noticin' ya doin great. Even Raul bein' a toon now, is proud of ya.", Herman said admittedly.
"You're right about that, pal. Did ya say Mickey runs a club?", the rabbit said only for Herman to facepalm.
"Typical Rog. Yes, he owns a club dubbed Club Fantasia in place of the House of Mouse. You know, due to Disney owning a lot of stuff. Especially those superheroes including the guy dressed as a spider. This house is surely going to be packed!", Herman said excitedly as Roger knew now about the situation. Jessica still in her ranger outfit came over to her husband cuddling and Kissing him as usual.
"Honey Bunny, you did wonderful in your solo cartoon. How about I bake you a carrot cake when we get home?", she purred carrying Roger out the studio in her arms stroking his fur.
"Oh that's so nice!", Roger said in bliss as Herman smirked.
"Rog, you sly dog you.", the baby smirked while smoking his cigar being tended to by the female staff workers. A toon version Eddie Valiant and Delores can be seen smiling at the toon rabbit before the episode ends.
A/N: And that's chappy 2, guys. I made Duke Fox an OC for this story to expand Roger's dynamic repertoire of roles in cartoons by adding a foil character much like Tom and Jerry has with Spike the Bulldog. Also, Fidget the Bat is a henchman of the main antagonist Professor Ratigan from the Great Mouse Detective. He'll be a mainstay of this story of cartoons working with Duke The Fox. Speaking of Duke, I imagine Rob Paulsen voicing the character due to the fox behaving charming like and crazy like Cruella. I also had Thumper, Bamband Flower make a cameo in this story. After all, Roger Rabbit and Bambi are properties of Disney. And the reason I had Eddie,Delores and Raul as toons is due to them not Living as Long being humans but toons last a Long time. And R.I.P to Bob Hoskins who played Eddie Valiant passed away in 2014 and in fact, Hoskins was going to be in a Potential sequel of Roger Rabbit but died unfortunately before further development can be possible. Anyway, I rambled too much and thanks to those who read this story and others. It means a Lot to me and I'll make a parody of the Lion King scene where Mufasa shows Simba the kingdom but with Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse instead. As always, LilMancub out and I'll see y'all in the next one.
