"Auditions for Female Toon Actresses"
The banner caught the attention of a tan rabbit, which happened to be passing by the gym.
"Auditions? I wonder for what?" wondered Lola.
"Hey Lola! Are you trying out?" asked Petunia Pig, her good friend.
"I don't know. They're probably not looking for a girl like me. Aren't you going to try out?"
"Nah! I may be a Looney Tune but I prefer to pursue a different career. I've been studying to be a doctor."
"Really? That's great! I say go for it girlfriend!"
"Thanks. But you should try out miss starlet-in-training."
"Like I said I don't think they're looking for a tomboy like me. But, I would like to see Michael Jordan! He's my hero! Maybe I'll go look for him and get his autograph."
"So, you're thinking of sneaking in? Kinda risky, dontcha think?"
Lola ran up to a tree and swung onto a branch.
"Risky is my middle name!" she said as she climbed through the window.
"I didn't know she had a middle name."
Lola sneaked into the hallway. She walked down the hallway carefully. She ducked and hid behind things if she saw someone coming.
"OK now lets see, If I were a basketball superstar where would I be?" wondered Lola aloud.
She found a gymnasium where a tall, baldheaded man was making some foul shots.
"Michael!" squealed Lola as hearts filled her eyes. She skipped up to him and handed him a pen and notepad. "Can I have your autograph?"
"Sure. To whom should I make it out to?" asked Michael
"Lola. Lola Bunny"
"Here ya go. So, you're here for the auditions?"
"Well…not really. I just came to see you."
"I'm flattered. So, you like basketball?
"Like? I love basketball!"
"You wanna play a little one on one? First one to score 10 wins."
"With you? It'd be an honor!"
They began to play. Michael, being a star, was playing greatly but Lola was keeping up with him. He scored and she scored. Back and forth the game went. The game was up 9-8, with Michael in the lead. Just then Lola kicked it up to high gear and was able to move swiftly and dunked the ball, winning the game. Being a rabbit has its advantages, doesn't it?
"Girl, you got game," said Michael
"Thanks!" said Lola
"Bravo! Bravo!" said the director, Mr. Pytka, as he interrupted the two. "Miss, what is your name?"
"Lola Bunny."
"Well, miss Bunny. Have you ever thought about a career in the movies?"
"Yes I have. That's why I graduated from the Looniversity for."
"Your just the kind of girl I was looking for. Come with me to discuss the contract."
In the office…
"So Lola, you've graduated from the Looneversity? Can you tell me about that," asked Mr. Pytka.
"Well, I graduated on a combined athletic and academic scholarship. Forgive me if I boast!" she answered
"Wow, not only is she sporty, but she's smart too. Not to mention modest."
"Thanks Mr. Pytka. The funny thing about it was that I didn't think you guys were looking for a girl like me."
"Lucky thing you came! Oh, you must meet the rest of the cast!" said Mr.Pytka as he led her out of the office to the gym where the rest of the cast was looking at the script.
Mr. Pytka caught the attention of the cast.
"Everyone! I'd like you to meet the newest member of the cast, Ms. Lola Bunny!"
All the guys were wide eyed. And did the classic Tex wolf howl.
"AAAAAOOOOOOOOGA!"
Lola just cocked an eyebrow. Her temper was rising but she kept her cool.
Bugs was among those love struck toons. Then Daffy said to him…
"Here's your chance!"
Bugs then gathered his confidence and zoomed to her and said…
"Hey there doll. My name is Bugs Bunny. You know how to play hoops?"
At that point she was about to explode. But she answered sarcastically…
"Oh no! I can't play such a hard and male dominated sport! But I'll try! Can you show me?" she said trying to sound as nice as possible.
"Sure doll."
The toons cleared the court for them. Bugs then got a ball and dribbled it.
"Wow! Can I try?" said Lola.
"Here ya go." He said as he passed the ball. She caught it and started to dribble with one hand.
"Is this how you do it?" she asked
"Yeah that's right."
"Or maybe like this," she said as she switched hands, "Or maybe like this," she said as she started to dribble between her legs.
"That's pretty good," said Bugs kind of surprised, "Now try to get it past me and into the basket."
"Oh my! That's seems so hard! But, here I go!" she said as she zoomed past him, causing him to spin, and dunked the ball. Bugs was all twisted up. She approached him and said…
"Don't ever call me doll." She said coolly and blew her ears out of her face.
The rest of the toon just laughed at Bugs. Bugs couldn't help but laugh himself. He was more surprised than embarrassed. He didn't feel too bad about it cause even he could admit when he's been beaten, particularly by a girl like Lola.
"Whoa! What a woman!" said Bugs to himself.
Daffy then came to his side and said, "Ha! You've been beaten by a chick! So how does it feel to be rejected?"
"Not as bad as I thought it would be," said Bugs in a dazed voice.
"Huh?"
The director then called for a meeting of the cast. They gathered on the benches to listen to what he had to say.
"Alright people, we just got a change in the script. The writers are writing it as we speak."
"Why are they changing the scwipt?" asked Elmer Fudd.
"It seems that our writers have just gotten inspired and had to make some additions to the script."
"Probably by the rabbit's little rendezvous!" said Daffy. The cast started to laugh while Bugs chuckled and Lola looked away.
"Now now! Can we have a little order here?" said the director as he held back his laughter.
Just then a writer came in with a few scripts and handed them out.
"What! I don't even come in 'till scene seven! I demand a rewrite!" complained Daffy.
"I get hit on my head! Oh gwacious! Then sqwuished by a Monstar! Am I going to have a double?" asked Elmer.
"I get to referee! Oh I'm all a twitter!" said Marvin the Martian, "But, I don't get zap anyone, oh drat!"
Bugs was looking over his script and noticed that he had to rescue Lola, then she had to kiss him. "Oh brudder!" he said to himself. Then he looked over to Lola, who also saw him then quickly looked away. "I guess she noticed, too." He read on then saw that at the third to last scene he had to kiss her. "Well…I don't mind da kissing. But da problem is she will. I got to do something about dis," he said to himself.
At the end of the day, Bugs looked for Lola. He found her leaving the gym.
"Hey," he called after her.
"Oh. Hi," she answered.
"Listen, umm, sorry about what happened back there."
"It's OK. You didn't know. I'm used to it by now. You wont believe how many times I get that treatment! I just hope you learned your lesson."
"Oh, definitely! (Pause) Friends?" he said as he offered his hand in truce.
"Sure," she said taking his hand.
"So, I'll see ya tomorrow."
"Yeah, tomorrow."
As he walked towards his car he said to himself…
"Phew! Now dat dats taken care of, I can go home wit a clear conscious."
As Lola walked to her car she thought to herself…
"No one's ever apologized to me like that before. That was really sweet of him. Hold on Lola! Don't let your guard down yet! Not until you are sure of him."
