Chapter 1
A Night to Remember
The night sky was clear as Fifi Freleng and her family made their way to the basketball arena. They were going to see her father play. Fifi was four years old. She was very kind and easily excited. She couldn't wait to see her dad play.
"Are we there yet?" Fifi asked her mother.
"Not yet?" Mary Freleng said in a slightly annoyed tone as this was the 9th time that Fifi had asked this question.
"Are we there now?" Fifi asked.
"Not yet." her mother said. She was trying to hide the frustration in her voice.
"Are we..."
"Will you stop asking that stupid question!" Her old sister shouted. "Does this look like a basketball arena?!" she said, pointing out of the window. "We'll get there when we get there!"
"Alice!" their mother shouted.
"She won't stop asking 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet?' It's getting annoying." Alice responded. Alice was three years older than Fifi. She had a bit of a temper and was easy to annoy.
Fifi was about to cry, but her mother calmed her down.
"It's all right Fifi, I'll tell you when we're there. Ok?" Mary asked her younger daughter.
"Okay, mum." Fifi said.
There were silents for a brief moment as they continued to drive down the road. Fifi looked out of the window to see if they were at the basketball arena. The silents was broken by a small voice.
"Mum, did dad ever play a game with Bugs Bunny?" Fifi's younger brother asked.
"No Robert. Dad never played with Bugs Bunny?" he asked.
Robert was a year younger than Fifi and was a huge Looney Tunes fan. Ever since he saw "Rabbit Fire" on the T.V he had a fascination with the iconic characters.
"Do you think dad will ever play with the Looney Tunes?"
"Robert, the Looney Tunes are not real! They can't play basketball or interact with real people." Alice said.
"How do you know they're not real?" Robert ask.
"Well do you see any Looney Tunes here? Is the Roadrunner running on the road?" Alice said
"His only runs in the desert." Robert said.
"No, he's not. He's not real. He's just a drawing on a piece of paper." Alice said in an annoyed tone.
Robert was about to ask how she knew this but Fifi stopped him by shading her head, to indicate that continuing to unintentionally annoying their older sister was a bad idea.
An hour later and they arrived at the arena.
"Ok, Fifi. We're here now." her mother said.
The family got out of their car and entered the arena. They entered the room where the basketball court was and made their way to their seats.
Fifi was interested to see the game as it was the first time she had ever seen a basketball game live.
The teams entered the court, Fifi could see her father, Richard with the other members of his team.
The game began Fifi watched in amazement as the player ran around the court, trying to score points and to keep the ball away from the other players. Her dad scored the final point ending with his team winning by two points. The crowd cheered with joy the loudest of them was Fifi.
The Freleng's were waiting by the exit for Richard to join them.
"Daddy!" Fifi, Alice, and Robert said, running towards their father, who hugged them once they reached him.
"Hey dear," Mary said to her husband. "You were great out there tonight."
"Well, I have great family supporting me." He said as they exited the building. As they head to their car Fifi was still amazed by what she had just seen.
"That was amazing dad!" said Fifi, jumping up and down in excitement. "The way you shoot the ball into the hoop and the way you caught the ball and the..."
"Ok, ok Fifi, calm down." her father said with a chuckle.
"Dad, I know want I want to be when I grew up. I want to be a basketball player just like you."
"Well, it going to take a lot of practice, but
"Then do you think I could be as good as you?"
"I think you'll be even better." he said.
Fifi hugged her father before they started walking again. She couldn't wait to become a basketball player just like her father.
Meanwhile, in Looney Tunes World, Bugs Bunny was pacing back and forth in the hospital. He and Lola were going to have a baby. With him were his closest friend Porky Pig and his frienemy Daffy Duck.
"Could you stop pacing? I'm trying to read." the duck said, glaring at the rabbit before returning to the magazine he was reading. Porky rolled his eyes before speaking to Bugs.
"Bugs, are y-y-you ok? I have never seen you this n-n-nerv-n worried?" the pig asked.
"I'm fine. I just hope Lola is doing ok."
"I'm su-su-sure she's ok." Porky said comfiting his friend.
"Thanks, Pork." Bugs said.
"Now that your nerves are gone, could you please stop pacing!" Daffy shouted.
"Shhh." said a doctor as he passed. Daffy glared at Bugs who smirked.
"Mr. Bunny." the nurse said as she came out of the door. "Congratulations, you're a father."
Bugs went into the room where to meet his new child. Lola was lying in the bed with the newborn rabbit in her arms. Lola turned her head towards Bugs who had just sat down on a chair next to her.
"She's a girl." Lola said.
Bugs looked at his daughter with tears of joy. The baby had grey fur just like her dad and blue eyes like her mum.
"She's adorable." Bugs said as a few tears left his eyes and rolled down his face.
"I never thought I would be a dad." he said as he wiped away the tears.
Lola gave a small smile before turned her head baby.
"What should she name her?" Bugs asked.
"I was thinking of calling her Katherine." Lola said.
"I like that. Katherine Bunny it is." Bugs said.
The two rabbits looked at their daughter with joy as they looked forward to new lives as parents.
