Chapter 6: Michael Meets the Monstars

(Insert "Spit Shine" from Space Jam)

The toons led Michael Jordon to the Schlesinger Gymnasium. "Look, I wanna help, but I haven't play basketball in a long time. My timing's off," said Michael. "Eh, we'll fix your timing. Look at our facilities," said Bugs. But unfortunately, the gym was in bad shape. There were holes, broken glass, paint splatters, toxic waste barrels and wooden boards nailed over some of the windows. "We got hoops!" said Daffy as he held onto a basketball hoop. But due to its poor condition, it broke and the duck fell. "We got weights!" said Taz as he lifted a weight. But one of the weights fell off the stick part, crushing the Goofy Gophers. The other half fell to the ground, lifting Taz by the stick. "We got balls!" said Sylvester. He opened the locker, only to get to buried in balls. "Whoa!" cried Sylvester.

"You sure do, this place is a mess," said Michael. "Ugh. Tell me about it. This is no place for a lady," said Minerva, cringing. "Mess? You're worried about a little mess? There's nothing a little spit shine wouldn't fix. Spit shine!" shouted Daffy. "Spit shine!" shouted Sylvester. Most of the toons started spitting all over the gym floor, with Roadrunner and Little Beeper spitting faster than the others. Michael, Hamton Pig and the girls were disgusted. "Le yuck. Boys cahn be deesgusteeng, no?" asked Fifi. "You're telling me, sister," said Dot. Hamton was about to grab a mop when Taz and Dizzy grabbed a whole bunch of them. The two Tasmanian Devils began to spin around, wiping up the whole place. Porky jumped onto Daffy to get out of the way. In mere moments, the whole place was clean as a whistle. "Lemony fresh," said Taz & Dizzy. "You guys are nuts," said Michael. "Correction, we're Looney Tunes," said Porky. "And Tiny Toons," said Buster. "And Animaniacs," said Yakko. Daffy Duck lifted up his butt, showing a Warner Bros. logo on it. "And as such exclusive property and trademark of Warner Bros. Inc.," said Daffy. He then kissed the logo.

(Insert "The Monstars" from Space Jam)

Suddenly, everybody heard a rumbling noise and turned to the doors all around. Nawt came bursting through the door with a snarl. With a thundering roar, Pound appeared next. Bupkus and Bang broke down the doors they came through. "I'm here!" said Bupkus. Blanko was the last to enter. "Me too," said Bupkus. He wasn't looking where he was going and he banged his head against the hoop glass. "That hurt," said Blanko, clutching his face. Fifi and the girls snickered at Blanko, making a fool out of himself.

All five Monsters approached Michael and the toons, growling and snarling. "Who are these guys?" asked Michael. "Well, uh, remember the tiny aliens I told you about?" asked Bugs. He pointed to the Monstars. "Oh," said Michael. "You've heard of the dream team? Well, we're the mean team, wussy man," said Pound. "Wussy man," said Bupkus. "Wussy man?" asked Michael. Nawt jumped onto Pound's shoulder. "We're the Monstars, M-O-N . . . Uh," said Nawt. Pound smiled at Nawt and turned to face Michael. "Let's see what you got, chump," said Pound. He tossed a basketball to him. "I don't play basketball anymore," said Michael. He tossed the ball back to a miffed Pound. "I don't play basketball anymore," imitated Bupkus. He, Pound and Nawt began to laugh. "Maybe you're chicken," said Bang. He began clucking and flapping his arms like a chicken. "I say I resemble that remark," said Foghorn, feeling offended. "Yeah. What he said," said Fowlmouth.

"You called me chicken?" asked Michael. "Hey! Come here!" asked Pound. He suddenly grabbed Michael and scrunched him into a basketball, chuckling meanly. "Here ya go Nawt, take him!" said Pound, tossing Michael to Nawt. He caught Michael and began dribbling faster. "Watch the footwork! Can you believe it?" asked Nawt. Nawt shot Micheal, sending him above the toons, burning Bugs, Daffy and Sylvester's head and burning a hole in Yosemite Sam's hat. Bang caught Michael. "Get out of the way!" shouted Bang. He slam dunked Michael, breaking the glass from the hoop. Michael screamed as he fell and dribbled to the ground, moaning in pain. The toons looked worried. "Hey, everybody, look at your hero now!" said Pound mockingly. He and his fellow Monstars snickered. Michael unrolled back to his normal shape. All the toons approached Michael, with looks of pity. The Monsters continued to snicker. "You guys are making a big mistake," said Michael as he dusted himself. "You're all washed up, Baldy!" said Bang. "Baldy?" asked Michael, feeling offended.

Hearing this made Tweety Bird mad. He flew up to Bang. "He is not washed up, Michael's the gweatest ever!" said Tweety. "Shaddup!" said Bang, as he flicked Tweety like a bug in annoyance. Tweety hit the wall and slid down. Sweetie Pie gasped, seeing her mentor get roughed up like that. "Hey! Nobody does dat to my mentor!" cried Sweetie. She tried to charge at the Monsters, but Furrball restrained her by the tail feathers. "Come on! Come on! Wet me at him! Wet me at him!" cried Sweetie. "Don't be stupid, Sweetie! You'll end up getting more hurt than Tweety!" said Furrball. Tweety moaned in pain as Michael picked him up in his hand. "My poor wittle cwanuim," groaned Tweety. "Are you okay?" asked Michael. "Yeah, are you okay?" asked Blanko. Bang and Bupkus angrily pulled Blanko. "Hey!" said the two Monsters. "Whoops," said Blanko. Tweety started to get all teary eyed. "You're not scared of them, are you, Michael?" asked Tweety. Michael looked at Tweety and thought for a moment. The Monstars looked at Michael smiling and chuckling evilly. The Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons and Animaniacs anxiously waited for Michael's answer. Michael stood up and he looked at them, having made up his mind. "Let's play some basketball," said Michael. "Yeah!" said the Toons.

After the Monstars left the gym, Fifi La Fume thought of something. Wait a meenute. I sink we need to recruit one mahre playair to ze team. My old friend. Ze one who taught moi how to play bahsketbahll. I sink I'll go find hair now, thought Fifi. Fifi started to leave the gym. Pepé started to notice his student was leaving. "Where ahre you going, Fifi?" asked Pepé. "To cahll sahmebahdy who I know cahn help train us to be ze prahfessionahl players we need to be. I wahn't be gahne lahng hahpefully," said Fifi. And she left the gym to find a phone booth. Fifi found a phone booth, inserted some coins into the coin slot, dialed a phone number she knew and waited to see if there was a reply. Fortunately, the one she was hoping to call answered the phone. "Bahnjour. Eet's me, Fifi La Fume. Ze skunkette whahm you taught to play bahsketbahll. I'm cahlleeng cause we need your help," said Fifi.

I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter where Michael finally decides to help the Toons after all. As for this old friend Fifi is calling, you can probably guess who it is when the next chapter is posted . . .
