Lanky Looney Toony Skeleton

Author's Notes: Thanks to savageboss and BudBear5110, as well as turletipper123 for the favs and follows, I will update this as they come in.

Year 1 and 3 months

I explained to the toons as much as I would love to live there I feel like it was my duty to stay on my ship, I had plenty of free time.

I was practicing with my violin when I heard the familiar greeting. "Eh, what's up doc?" I chuckled at that.

"You're always so carefree, want some tea?" I asked. Bugs shook his head.

"Nah not my style, the others are missing you though." Bugs said. "You know, we can easily make you a home in ACME Acres, you saw first hand how things went there."

"Yohohoho, I'm a pirate the sea is my home, my curse." I sighed. "But, I would like to see them again." Bugs held out his hand, I grabbed it. It felt warm compared to mine.

"No time like the present." Bugs said. "You know there is a magic word to make the island appear at will."

"What is it?"

"Walla, walla Washington!" Bugs chanted and the Island of Anitoons appeared before my eyes. "Well after you."

As we both descended onto the Island, I figure I remind Bugs something. "Bugs-san you know what type of Island this is right?" I asked.

.

"A summer island right?" I nodded. "And every island has seasons, so we are in Summer-Spring right?" He continued. "Shame this is technically a deserted island."

"How come?" I asked dumbfounded. His tone and frame got low and serious. He actually waited till we were by the Warner Bros tree.

He whispered. "The birds could hear you, plus The Marines, we can't fight the world." I noticed he lost some of his swagger. I put a hand on his shoulder.

"I'll fight for you!" I promised as he opened the tree door. I didn't black out this time. Which is good cause I got to hear the lovely toons singing as I rocketed into ACME Acres.

"La Bones!" I heard reaching the ground, Fifi La Fume pulled me off the ground. "Oh, how I missed you, so very much. How have you been?" She asked batting her eyes

.

"Well I'm alive, I think. Yohohoho skull joke." Fifi smiled to her credit. I noticed she only reached my pelvis with was open. "Oh pardon me miss, I may need clothes "

"Non, non, c'est bon, very la natural here." She wrapped her tail around me again. "I hardly wear any either." My bones got hot all of a sudden.

The Coyote in the background held up a sign saying: Get a room. Fifi leaped off me and ripped the sign in half cursing in French, I cleared my throat. "Miss Fifi I like some tea, care to join me?"

"Doc, it's almost class time." Bugs said pointing to a school building that read: ACME Looniversity "It happens to be Morning." Bugs Informed us. "Say, Fifi, get to class, I gotta ask 'La Bones' a question."

Fifi skipped off happily I walked with Bugs. "Eh, what's up doc? I said imitating Bugs.

"First don't do that," He paused for dramatic effect. "Second do ya wanna sit in on the class, where everyone is, as a guest?"

"Sure," I said. As we walked to the ACME Loon building I figure I ask. "Bug-san, do your app-"

"Stop I know what you're gonna ask, just don't go too far got it?

"Oh no, no I would never--

"Good."

We walked to a cream-colored school with a tunnel as the entrance, Bugs led me down a hallway. We stopped by a sign that read cartoon music class.

Opening the door I heard the instructor. "Every good cartoon needs either a good sound tract or sound affects hehehehe." He noticed Bugs and I walk in." So this the Skeletoon I heard about, I"m Elmer Fudd. Sit anywhere you like."

I quickly scanned the room Buster and Babs sat front center, Hampton and Plucky sat on either side. Shirley and Fifi sat behind them. So there was a seat behind Buster and Babs

.

"Hey Bone-bag move the afro!" Max shouted.

"Mr. Fudd we can't see, the board," Elmyra said sweetly.

Elmer Fudd turned around thinking. "Ah well he is tall, maybe he can play us cords?"

"Would anyone like to sing with or for me?" I asked almost everyone's hand shot up. "Ok how many guys want to sing?" Gogo, that devil thing, the coyote, and the cat all lowered their hands; while Max never raised his. "And how many girls want to sing?" They all kept their hands raised. "Great, girls win."

Babs, Elmyra, Fifi, and Shirley talked among themselves. I couldn't make out much, other than some bulging eyes, hand gestures, they were speaking in some girly language.

After some giggling and funny faces, Babs stepped up. "Now Babs, why don't you sing a song, I'll back you up if needed, after all I might not be able to sing them high notes, Yohohoho. Skull joke."

Babs smirked "Mind if I dedicate this to someone?"

"Of course not, care to share? I asked

.

Bab's shook her head. "He knows."

Singing*

"You and I go deep like water, You and I run red like blood you know my darkest secret, I know what you're made of."

"Drip drop the rain is falling I hear it all could flood, one rainy night away from losing all you love."

"It's a brilliant game you play when you lock yourself away, and you make me fight for you,"

I noticed the magic kick in a Babs sang, her voice transformed the classroom someway, everyone was getting into it.

"I can't keep you above water, I can't drag your soul to shore don't know how to fix a sinking ship, or win a losing war."

"It's a heavy load to carry and I can't hold on much more, on the surface, it looks perfect underneath it's just a perfect storm."

"Now, now well done Babs, however, we can't use more than the first verse and chorus." Elmer Fudd interrupted to everyone's sadness. "It's fine though, skeletoon either sit on the floor or in the back, alright?"

As I sat down behind Babs and Buster the others were giving Babs praise. "So who did you dedicate that song too?" Buster asked the girls let out a snicker. "What? Huh? chicks."

"Lets make a deal." Babs said. "If you really don't know by the time Brookins, leaves I'll tell you." Babs said in a hush tone.

"Deal what we betting?" Buster asked.

"Carrot cake of course, as in you buy mine." Babs quipped.

"Brookins?" I asked "Is this gonna be a joke? Cause usually jokes have punch lines."

"Like oh my gosh, stop, with the meta commentary, kay? Shirley said. "I'm getting weird vibes from you bony."

Ignoring the nickname I asked "Weird vibes?

"

"Shirley here is a psychic." Plucky answered. "She literally is the most looney." A quick slap shut him up.

"No one knows how, Hampton deadpanned.

"Like this is super secret kay?-" She was cut off.

"Mr. Fudd Elmyra yelled way louder than needed I can't hear a thing you're saying cause of this chatter!" She made me turn my head she was standing on the chair…

I don't remember the rest of class, just being woken by water, some salt that made me go limp again. "Oh boy."

After that I awoke to the smell of tea and skunk, at least I think it was. "Se lever!" Fifi yelled clearly angry, "Se lever!"

"What happened? I asked Bugs and now Fifi were standing on my ship it had to be. ""I–

You what, can't handle a panty shot, or can't handle some water which one?" Bugs did not look happy either.

"It wasn't just water," I said hush "It was water with salt

."

"I know thatt's why Bugs dragged me here, honestly I was gonna laugh it off with you but you fainted again. Now I'm here wherever this is…" It was dark foggy, nighttime, maybe?

I stood up Fifi backed away. Then Bugs spoke as I noticed, the island fade away. "You're a real stinker ya know that?" He at least sounded serious.

"Don't put this all on me, You didn't tell anyone if they know where you went did you? About your bounty?" Fifi gasped at bugs' face so I continued, "Do you know how fucking lucky you are to find me here, with no purpose. Stranded!"

"What happened?" Fifi asked voice shaky. I looked at her she looked vulnerable but I calmed down.

"In the micro nothing, We died from poison weapons and since I got a second life here I am. In the macro Bugs probably escaped from Anitoon island." I held out my arms wide, I continued. "To the open sea, he clearly must have pissed someone off to get that bounty.."

"You lie?" Fifi asked. "What happens now will we be hunted?"

"No, not if you stay on the Island in that tree." I said "I will defend you. If you continue to have me." I Continued. "Now can we please have some tea?"

"Sure, but where?- I whipped out a teapot from nowhere. "Yeah you fit right in."

After pouring myself, Fifi and Bugs a cup. I replied. "It's a secret." I sipped on my tea. "So what's on your mind Fifi?" I asked.

"Well, to be honest I didn't expect you to faint from some panties, honestly I thought better of you." Fifi replied.

"Anyway Brook," Bugs changing the subject. What will you do now? If something were to come after us?"

"Like I said I'd defend you. Teach you how to defend yourself as well."

"We are to young to fight, but I guess it is inevitable." Fifi turned to Bugs. "Why in the world would you come here?"

"I needed a new adventure and the toughest place I know."

Satisfied they sipped tea in silence. Just enjoying the peace. "Say Brook, remind me what to expect from this world."

"Expect the unexpected." Fifi spits out some tea

.

"Surely, your not serious?"

"This is the Grand Line, logic and rules don't apply here." I clarified.

Fifi seemed tired. "So Fifi," Bugs said getting her attention. "Don't tell anyone about this ok?" Fifi nodded.

"I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. So lonely." She turned to me. "No offense."

I held out my hand. "None taken." Sighing I said. "I got a little carried away earlier, I do have a purpose...

"Really?" Fifi asked inching closer. S'il Vous plait continuez"

I chuckled. " Not only do I have to protect you and the rest, but there is a friend I gotta meet again."

Bugs held out a hand disapprovingly "We ain't got time for the backstory doc."

"You rabbits tell too much jokes." Fifi huffed. "I'm all ears la bones."

"Well, I was part of a pirate crew, our captain said all we, needed was a love for music. We would bring a smile to every child." I explained.

"How nice~ " Fifi cooed,

"Let's just say it didn't last." Brook started. "We got trouble news about a disease the captain suffered, we split the crew and I became captain."

"Oh sorry to hear that." Fifi said.

"Say Brook, Bugs asked pointing to my head. "I noticed something odd, is that a crack in your skull?"

"Why yes it is," I said moving the top of my skull.

"What?!" Fifi asked jaw on the ground. I pulled out a shell. "What's that?" she asked.

It holds a special song, care to hear?"

"Maybe later." Bugs interrupted disputed Fifi's pleading eyes.

"Walla, walla Washington." Bugs chanted as the island appeared. Come on Fifi, she hesitated. But left anyway.

I waved my goodbyes and turned around. Suddenly I felt something grab my leg, she pulled me to her level. "A plus tard captains Bones." She greeted kissing me, "I'll be waiting. Mayhaps over tea, no?"

She spun me around so fast my clothes came off "Ah How the-" I was a tad dumbfounded so I laid there. "Yohohoho it seems we are just getting started."
