Lanky Looney Toony Skeleton
Author's Notes: Like I said in the previous version, nothing serious, just for laughs. Although I do have a goal and loose plan. Tell me what ya think.
Year 1: Back From the Dead
So I died, but I couldn't go to heaven or far worse hell because I ate the Yomi-Yomi No Mi, the revive-revive fruit. While this did give me a second chance at life, I died in the dark mist of the Florian Triangle on a boat without a rudder; if I'm lucky, I could find my decomposing body beforeā¦
I didn't make it in time, and I became a skeleton! "Yohohoho!" I laughed. "Well, at least I still have my afro."
"You're lucky; technically, you don't need to eat or drink anymore." A voice called out. I nearly jumped out of my clothes.
"Who's there?" I asked, looking around.
"Above ya." I saw a Grey Rabbit? In white gloves...
"Whoa, no need to stare." He said as I picked my jaw off the floor. "Anywho, glad ya found your way back here. Brook."
"How did you get here? And how do you know my name?" He grinned like a madman.
"No Freaking clue how I got here, but I saw your name and story in the AniToons Tones of life!" He said, munching on a carrot. "Name's Bugs, by the way."
"In heaven or hell?" I asked. He shrugged.
"Whichever one you want, bud, I don't make the rules. Just follow them." I sat defeated.
"How long will I have?" I asked aloud.
A smirk appeared on Bugs' face. "Well, I probably shouldn't say this, but Fifty years."
"How the hell am I supposed to last Fifty years!?" I screamed, Nah wailed in anger. Maybe it was a trick of the mind, but I saw a spark in Bugs' eyes.
"Well, I know a place you could go so that you won't be stuck here on a boat." He said mischievously. "Mayhaps I can take you there."
"What are you talking about?" I asked, not believing a word he said anymore. "We're in the middle of the cursed sea, without a rudder!" I got up and looked over the railing. Still dark mist everywhere.
"It's something you can't see with the naked eye, but your spiritual eye." Bugs reasoned, so I closed my non-existing eyes and concentrated hard.
At first, nothing happened, then I heard a voice a recognized it cried out in sorrow. No, this was a trick it had to be. Yet I focused, I remember our last act as the living, the Rumbar Pirates. The beautiful, happy, yet sad song.
Then I saw it "An island?" I asked Bugs.
"Aye, there be an island, home of everything AniToon!" Bugs said in his best pirate voice. "Go on, open them, peepers. So I did just that.
There was an Island behind us; it was what looked like a summer island, nothing but luscious trees that smelled of magic, birds were singing wait-
"I can understand them," I said they were singing in Common tongue. "How? Is this real?" I asked.
"Don't ask questions, doc, go on and hop-on land." He said, jumping onto the island with grace.
I got a running start, it should be noted my ship was tall, and there were no rocks or anything to elevate the island; even though I wasn't going for height, I cleared most of the trees anyway. Luckily, this was an oversized island; I smacked into a tree around what had to be the center. I'll never do that again.
Yet, somehow instead of bones breaking or dent in the tree, I floated down like paper. "Argh, what the-"
"Say doc, didn't ya ever see a cartoon before or an anime as you call it?" He asked, pulling me off the ground.
"Did you just ask me that?!" I yelled, "No, of course not." I lowered my voice. What? Why? Where? When? And Who are you? How did you get here?" I rambled.
"Ok, fine! My name is Bugs Bunny. I came from a land that we can call Green Acres. We are a mischievous bunch called the Looney Toons. I'm the de facto leader and mascot. I came here when you died. It took forever to find your ship; I may or may not have a bounty. I came to your world or dimension to ask you to join us."
My jaw dropped to the floor again. "Why me?" was all I could manage.
"Well, to be honest, everyone here is a little looney,' but most of those aren't born yet." My mind went into overdrive.
"You're not a god, right?"
"No!" He said. "Every five years or so, you can gain a superpower." Bugs explained. My first one was invincibility, and my second was self-awareness. Since I had, my future read next year is future sight." I doubled over laughing.
"Yeah, ok there, buddy, so you want me to become a Toon?" Bugs nodded, "And if I do, I can gain a superpower every five years?" Bugs nodded again. "So I can gain Ten additional powers? Bugs nodded again. "What if I don't believe you?"
"If you refuse, the island will disappear, you will drown and never see Laboon again!"
My voice got low again as I stiffened up. "How do you know about Laboon?"
"I read your story, remember, it's still being written, so no, I don't know the ending." Bugs clarified.
"Laboon was a great whale; my entire crew died before we could see him again." I sighed sadly. "I don't know what this means, but I can't die here! I will become a Toon!" I stood up and looked behind me to the tree, and it read Warner Bros.
"It would have said Disney, but that mouse does believe he's godly." Bugs Winked.
"So you said you got a bounty? How much and we safe?"
"We should be as long as we can keep out of conflict. Five Million, can you believe helping out some rookies would brand me?"
"Very much what did you do?" I asked.
"Told them names like Laugh Tale would get them mocked for generations."
"What kind of name is that!?"
Bugs chuckled. "Well, wanna go in?" I noticed a handle on the tree.
"Hmm, sure, go ahead and open it," I said
Bugs knocked on the tree door; it opened into a black void. "Maybe next year we can get a painting here."
"Well, after you," I said. Bugs grabbed me and threw me in. "AAAAHHHH!" I screamed. Bugs hopped in, closing the door behind us. I blacked out.
As I woke up, I smelled flowers, felt dirt. After opening my eyes, I saw blue sky and sunshine. "So, where are we?" I asked.
"Well, I don't have the power to name it, so for now properly, Green Acres."
Standing up, I noticed there weren't many, if any, buildings, only tents. "Oh, it's still under development, I guess," I said.
Bugs put on his best announcer's voice. "Hey, guys and gals; toons of all shapes, sizes, and species, come out and meet our newest member. Brook!"
I noticed I was tall, like a head above Bugs' ears. I saw other animals and people come out. I noticed every type of animal that came out, and there was a smaller version of them. Odd, but everyone gathered around me. "Hello, I'm Brook, it's-
He talks almost everyone interrupted minus Bugs. Music started to play, and I didn't start it for once.
*Singing*
He's Lanky, he's looney, he's just a skeletoony, and with us cartoonies, we're gonna have some fun!
You're TV made ready, can you keep our ship steady? On the way to be our buddy. You'll be our number one.
So here's ACME Acres; it's a whole wide world apart, our home sweet home stands alone, a cartoon work of art!
As the song was being sung, the world changed around me. The tents became buildings and homes. "What the-
*Singing*
Our scripts were rejected, expect the unexpected. On Tiny Toon Adventures, it's about to start.
*record scratch by Bugs*
"Actually, peeps, you can't be expected to come up with original quotes from everyone. So, let's talk it out.
I was getting into the song, even if it was -off-key. "Yohohoho, well, you tried your best, and that's all that matters," I reassured them. "Bugs-san, you mind if I sing?"
"Eh, if we have room, sure."
Two females, one human, and one skunk approached me from the crowd. A coyote held up an uh oh sign.
"He doesn't talk." A pig said as the females each grabbed an arm.
Being a gentleman, I politely asked. "Why, hello there; what are your names?"
"Elmyra." The human in white schoolgirl clothes and red hair, to my right, sweetly said, "I'm gonna hug you and love you forever and ever. Mr. Bones!"
"Don't listen to her Bone-hunk, she'll keep you in a cage, and I'll never see you again!" The purple skunk to my left argued.
"Oh, why thank you, miss?"
"Fifi La Fume," She said with a French accent. "But just Fifi is fine, like you."
"We stay away, skunk-kitty!" Elmyra said in disgust.
While this was going on, the others started talking. I noticed a fine-dressed boy with brown hair; he looked sad. "Say, Babs, you could easily get in on this." A Blue rabbit in a red shirt said.
"No need to rush, Buster." A pink rabbit in purple and yellow replied. "Besides, there's other fish in the sea."
"Like who? Don't say, Max." Buster replied.
"Hey!" The boy yelled as Fifi and Elmyra looked on Angrily at each other.
"Say, Shirley, surely you can get in too." A green duck in a white shirt said.
"Like no way, Plucky, I'm getting weird vibes from this guy nasty mojo dude. " Shirley, a white duck in a pink shirt said.
Fifi and Elmyra now let go of me, and we're nose to nose. "Gee Bugs, maybe you should step in?" The pink pig in overalls spoke again.
"Only if this gets physical, Hampton." Bugs said. "Anyone else wants lines?! Bugs said nonchalantly.
"Gogo dodo like bones, he fit right in at wacky land!" A blue and green dodo said. As a blue cat and purple thing grinned on.
"I have barely done anything." I pointed out. Fifi sprayed her skunk smell at Elmyra's face. "I suddenly feel a good sign I don't have a nose," Elmyra screamed and ran away, coughing as Max ran after her.
"Sorry," Fifi apologized, wrapping her tail around me. "Mwah doesn't like using that; I get heated."
"Now, now everyone messes up sometimes," I said, trying to be a gentleman. "Mayhaps, We can talk over tea first?" I asked Fifi.
"Oui La, La. I like tea." Fifi replied. "first though, sing me a song, La bones." I grinned and got out a guitar.
*Singing*
Come aboard and bring along all your hopes and dreams. Together we will find everything that we're looking for.
Compass left behind will only slow us down. Your heart will be your guide, raise the sails and take the helm.
That legendary place that the end of the map reveals is only legendary till someone proves it real.
Everyone else started getting into the song, so I turned to Fifi.
*Singing*
Through it all, through all the troubled times, heartache, and pain, know that I will be there to stand by you, just like I know you'll stand by me!
Come aboard and bring along all your hopes and dreams together. We will find everything that we're looking for.
There's always room for you if you wanna be my friend.
We are, we are on a cruise.
Everyone cheered, and Fifi gave me a peck on the cheek. "So romantic," she sighed.
I didn't wanna ruin the moment there be plenty of time later.
"Eh, doc." Bugs said, pulling me aside. Don't get too comfortable, m'kay." Then he addressed the crowd. Wanna hear a joke?"
"I love to, but I don't have ears! Skull joke." Fifi giggled a tad, some booed.
I think I'm going to like it here.
