Roadrunner didn't get more than one foot in the spaceship before Penelope threw herself at him with a high-pitched squeal.
"Oh, that's nice." Came the mock-affronted voice of Wile.E. Coyote from just behind them. "You know there are two of us."
"Eh...technically three, 'super-genius'" Bugs said, smirking as he hopped of off Roadie's back.
The coyote glared and muttered something about giving him [Bugs] the bird if he was allowed, but his complaints were drowned out by the rest of the toons saying various versions of how pleased they were to have him back as they hugged him as well.
"Okay!" Wile.E yelled at the point where he began to feel suffocated. "I get it! You're all glad to see me, I don't blame you, I get it, now will you please...GETOFFA ME!?"
Roadrunner beeped, cheekily.
Wile.E rolled his eyes and flapped a hand in his twins direction. "Yes, yes and Roadie to. Now, from what I understand this is rather like a game-"
"-Of what? Hide an' seek?" Bugs said, incredulously.
Ignoring him the coyote swept on with: "-So the next 'object', so to speak, is to pick who we're finding next and go after them? Any suggestions?"
"Excuse me, Mr Coyote." Marvin said, reproachfully as he sped-walked towards him. "I appreciate you are about the only one here on the same level as myself intellectually [everyone else: "Hey!"] but I am the one in charge of this expedition on account of the fact that it is my spaceship! So if you could kindly 'zip your lip', that would be much appreciated!"
Wile.E looked startled, but - to give him credit - did literally 'zip his lip' and nod at Marvin who nodded back his appreciation and, clearing his throat, said:
"Well, first of all, welcome back to Wile.E and Roadrunner [much cheering erupted at this]. Secondly, I have been looking at the coordinates and it seems that the toon we are closest to now is...drum roll please...[Bugs got a drum set and duly 'bah bum tished']...Yosemite Sam!"
Tweety looked disappointed, but the others all nodded, no doubt all thinking the same thing; not only would Sam not need much rescuing, being perfectly capable of fighting toons five times his size, but when they got him he'd be a good asset for getting the others.
That decided Marvin took the helm and was just about to drive off when he stopped, sighed and, without actually looking at Wile.E, said, stiffly. "It has come to my attention that perhaps as this journey progresses it may be helpful for myself to have a co-captain, so to speak. So with that in mind...Wile.E?" Marvin cleared his throat. "Would you be willing to assist me?"
The coyote tried to contain his excitement at the prospect of co-piloting Marvin's very gadget-heavy ship [he failed completely] and, with a sharp nod, walked up to the controls and helped out.
Less than five minutes later they were setting of for Cartoon Network World, Subsection Wacky Races, all wondering exactly how Sam was faring there.
[Meanwhile, In Wacky Races at that exact moment]
"Yaa-Hoo!" Sam hollered as he sped past Penelope Pitstop in his thrown-together car that was titled 'The Canon-Doubloon' by Sam [on account of the fact it was both painted gold and shaped like a canon.] and 'The Junkyard' by everyone else on account of the fact it was made from junk that Sam had somehow managed to make into a working car. "Outta mah way! It's ah 'Plunderin' Sam' comin' through!" With a laugh he drove sidewards into Dasterdley's car sending it crashing off into some rocks.
As Sam disappeared into the distance leaving behind nothing more than a trail of smoke, Dastardly and Muttley emerged both looking furious. "That pirate has GOT to go, Muttley!" Dastardly stated.
Muttley sniggered and laughed in agreement.
So while Dastardly and Muttley went about setting up the greatest plan ever {"I'm sure this one will work, Muttley!"} Bugs and Co arrived about twenty metres away from a part of the race track that bent alarmingly down the side off a cliff.
"Ah!" Wile.E sighed happily as he looked around. "It's just like home, isn't it Roadie?"
Roadie beaped in agreement.
"Jus' keep yer eyes open for Sam." Bugs told them, not wanting them to get distracted by the art style.
The toons all nodded and started looking round. At that precise moment a cloud of dust came streaking along the track and everyone looked, in first fascination and then alarm, as the car came within a cats whisker of them.
"Ya-hoo! Take that ya bunch of lily-livered land-lubbers!" Sam's voice rang out above the noise of the engine.
As he disappeared up the other side of a different cliff the rest of his family stared after him in slight disbelief that while they had all been worried/finding life difficult for the past couple of months, Sam seemed absolutely fine.
Marvin was the first to speak. "Well, that's just fantastic." He said, sarcastically. "HOW are we meant to get Sam to come back with us when it seems he's having a fantastic time here?"
Bugs went to speak, then was instantly cut off by the rest of the Wacky Racers [sans Dastardly] zipping past them, engulfing the Looney Tunes in a cloud of dust. When the cloud had cleared Bugs had a lightbulb above his head that was glowing brightly. "Well, ya know what dey say." He said, thoughtfully. "If ya can't beat 'em, join em'."
