The next hour passed in silence. Except for the sound of the TV, that is. Bugs sat on the sofa, a knot of worry in his stomach [thankfully not literally] while shooting looks over at Elmer, trying to gauge his reaction and see if he was enjoying the game. [That Bugs wasn't watching.]

Elmer, meanwhile, was fidgeting uncomfortably. Why the heck was Bugs staring at him? He fidgeted again and pressed himself further back into the seat. This was weird. Very weird. Even weirder than Bugs Bunny's usual brand of weirdness and that was very weird-

'I should stop thinking.' Elmer muttered to himself.

"What was that?" Bugs said, hoping Elmer had asked for a drink or something so Bugs could dress as a waiter and bring him one in, what would hopefully be, a smooth, simple gag.

Instead Elmer looked at him with wide, startled eyes and stammered. "N-nothing." There was another pause then - without warning - Elmer sprang up, teleported to the television, turned it off [Bugs couldn't help being impressed that Elmer knew how to turn it off.] before demanding to know. "Okay, what is wrong with you? You've been stawing at me aww night! Can you cut it out befowe I shoot you?"

"Eh..." Bugs straightened himself up and said, hotly. "First of all, dat threat is gettin' old. Secondly Oi am NOT staring at ya!"

Elmer blinked, surprised by Bugs's attitude, then he pulled himself together and shot back. "Bugs, you've done nothing else aww evening! We have enough of being stawed at and watched in the human world, I thought the deaw was we made an effowt not to do it while we'we in Toontown?"

Bugs groaned and buried his head in his hands. "It is." He admitted, kicking himself for being so stupid.

"So what's the prob-"

"I DON'T KNOW!"

"DON'T yeww at me!" Elmer yelled. "I'm just ASKING!"

"WELL I DON'T KNOW!"

Bugs knew he was making a mistake even as he was shouting, and was anticipating that this would turn into a screaming match, during which Elmer would win because that guy knew how to scream. Therefore he was shocked that the hunter held his hands up and said, calmly. "Okay. Okay. Cwearwy this, this is not working. So hewe's what's going to happen. I'm going to go home and you'we going to stay here. Okay? Goodbye." And with that he went to walk out the door.

Bugs - in a fit of panic - leapt up and grabbed Elmer's arm, tightly. The human-toon blinked and then frowned and said, steely. "Bugs? What the heww do you think you'we doing?"

"I-i-" The rabbit stammered.

Elmer looked at Bugs and he looked back. After a couple of seconds, Elmer said, clearly and deliberately. "Right. I'm going to leave now." And he wrenched his arm free and walked out the door.

Bugs was unable to process exactly what had happened but after a couple of seconds of feeling shock and numbness he pulled himself together, walked over to his phone and started flicking through the list of names he had.

Maybe dinner with Raquel Rabbit* would help?

*As far as I know there is not a cartoon character called Raquel Rabbit.
