Throughout the making of the movie, Bugs began to realize his feelings for Lola. And as he spent more time with her, his feelings became stronger. Yet, he wasn't ready to tell her how he felt. He was kind of scared of how she would react. Would she love him back? Would she reject him? Was she even available? These questions tortured his mind.
It was lunchtime again and when he looked for a place to sit, he couldn't find Lola.
"Hmm, dat's strange," He thought, "I know she's here today. Oh well. Hey! Daffy isn't here either."
He finished his lunch quickly and then wandered around. He found himself at the gym. Inside there was the sound of a basketball bouncing. It was Lola, Daffy, and Michael. They were shooting foul shots. Then Lola noticed Bugs come in.
"Hey there Bugs! This is perfect! Now we have enough for a game!" she said.
"I get dibs on Michael!" said Daffy quickly pulling Michael to his side.
"Daffy, I would like to keep my arm, thank you," said Michael as he massaged his shoulder.
"Don't get to cocky Duck. Lola and I can make a pretty good team," said Bugs as he approached them.
"OK. Full court game; team with the highest points when the bell rings wins. Agreed?" said Lola.
"Agreed," said the guys.
After Bugs beat Daffy at rock-paper-scissors, Bugs and Lola got possession of the ball. She passed the ball to him then he dribbled to the basket but Michael stole the ball and dashed to the other basket. Lola dashed after him but couldn't make it in time for Michael shot and scored two points. Bugs then passed the ball to Lola then she dashed to the basket but Daffy blocked her path. She quickly passed the ball to Bugs who tried a shot and missed. Lola beat Michael to the ball and shot of the side for two points. Then Michael passed the ball to Daffy and he ran for his basket.
"Watch this!" he said as he tried a shot from half court but the ball didn't make it because Bugs jumped and used his ears to catch the ball and pass it to Lola.
"Nice try Daff," said Bugs.
She dribbled to the basket but Michael guarded. She did some fancy footwork and was able to escape and dunk the ball. Daffy then came to pass the ball to Michael. He ran for the basket and shot from the foul line. The game went on. Few minutes later they were tied. Daffy and Michael had possession of the ball. Lola was blocking Daffy. She managed to steal the ball from him and passed it to Bugs. He ran for the basket with Michael on his tail. He jumped up into the air from half court and it was a slow-motion moment. He was inches from the basket when…BUZZ! He stopped in mid-air and plummeted to the ground.
"Ouch! I definitely got da boom, but not da shakalaka!" said Bugs.
"That was graceful!" said Lola who was laughing. She helped him up.
"Nice try Bugs," said Daffy with a grin on his face.
"Good game you guys," said Michael, "You two do make a good team."
They returned to the salt mines. Making a movie isn't that easy. When the day was done, Bugs went to his car where he heard a voice. He turned around and saw that it was Granny.
"Hi Granny," said Bugs.
"Hello there dear. Listen I want you to come over my house with the others. There is something I want to show you kids," said Granny.
"Sure thing. I'll see you later."
Bugs arrived at Granny's house. Daffy just parked his car in front of him. He was with Melissa, his girlfriend, who was a pretty white duck with red/orange hair. Up further he saw Sylvester chasing Tweety up the lane. He heard the roar of a motorcycle and turned around to see it be parked right behind him. The cyclist took of her helmet to reveal Lola. He was surprised.
"(Whistles) Nice wheels, doc. A Harley?" he asked
"Yeah," she responded as she fixed her hair up.
"Very nice. I didn't know you rode motorcycles."
"Well it's that time of year. Summertime is the best time for a little joy ride."
"You're just full of surprises. (Examines the bike) Actually, I had a Kawasaki myself. But I haven't ridden it in such a long time, dere's no way it could run."
"Well I have a friend that owns a shop. Maybe he can have a look at it. Come to think of it, he owns the racetrack right beside it. While we're there we could race. What do ya say?"
"Sounds like fun. How about Friday?"
"Friday's good."
"It's a date…ahem…we should be gettin' inside."
"Right."
They went inside to Granny's house. There they found Granny, Daffy, Taz, Sylvester, Melissa, Tweety, and Petunia. They greeted them and joined them in the living room.
"Wonderful! Now you're all here," said Granny joyfully.
"Gwanny, what do you have to show us?" asked Tweety.
"It's a few videos that I found in the attic. They're of you kids as babies. You see, WB wants to make a TV series about you as babies. They asked me to find references for them. So, these tapes will be reanimated and some scenes will be added and presto, you have a kid's series. I thought it would be fair to show you kids the videos first before the public saw them."
"Are we going to get paid for this?" asked Daffy.
"What! No Granny! I don't want everyone to see me like that!" yelled Sylvester.
"Oh! I want to see how small I was!" said Melissa.
"Um, Granny?" asked Lola
"Yes dear," answered Granny.
"I don't mean to sound rude or ungrateful, but why am I here? I never met you guys until recently," said Lola.
"On the contrary, you did know us, look," she said as she played a tape. On the screen appeared all of them as babies in the playroom. The camera zoomed on Bugs and Lola, who were playing together. They were building a castle out of pink and blue blocks.
"That's me?" asked Lola in wonder.
"Aww, you two look so cute together!" said Petunia.
"But, how come I don't remember those times?" asked Lola.
"You see my dear, what happened that day broke my heart," she answered.
Flashback…
The kids were playing outside. They were playing Marco Polo, and Lola was Marco. All the kids were running around calling "Polo" and hiding. Granny was watching them from the kitchen window, when she heard the bell ring. She answered the door and it was Lola's parents.
"Hello Granny. I'm sorry to barge in like this but we need to talk," said Mrs. Bunny.
"Of course, come right in," said Granny. They came inside and sat down.
"We have an emergency and we have to leave town right away. We have to take our girl with us," said Mr. Bunny directly.
"What! But! This is so sudden! How can I possibly say goodbye to her?" said Granny.
"I'm sorry, but we have to leave. You're just going to have to say goodbye to her," said Mrs. Bunny.
Granny then went solemnly outside, followed by the Bunnies. Lola was still playing with the others.
"Lola," said Granny.
"Granny! She's Marco!" yelled the kids.
"Lola, sweetie, come here," said Mrs. Bunny.
Lola recognized that voice and took of her blindfold. "Mommy!" she said as she gave her a hug.
"Hey there doll face," said Mr. Bunny.
"Daddy! You know I don't like being called doll!"
"Listen sweetie, we…we have to go away,"
"Where are we going?" asked Lola
"Far away,"
"Aw! But we were just playing! Can we go tomorrow?"
"No, we are leaving right now. Go say bye to your little friends," said Mr. Bunny who was becoming impatient.
"But mommy!" pleaded Lola
"No, no, your fathers right. You have to say goodbye," said Mrs. Bunny. She let her down. Lola then ran to Granny.
"Granny! I don't want to go!"
"I'm so sorry, there's nothing I can do."
"Hey! Marco what's going on!" demanded Bugs, followed by the others.
"Yeah! We've been in that bush for ages!" complained Daffy.
"I'm going away!" cried Lola.
"What?" they all said.
"Her parents are moving away," answered Granny, "she has to leave."
"But she can't!" said Melissa.
"Yeah! She can't!" echoed Petunia.
"I'm sorry kids," said Granny sadly.
"I'm going to miss you all so much," said Lola with tears in her eyes.
Then the others gave her a hug. Lola then gave Granny a big hug.
"I love you Granny,"
"I love you too Lola,"
Lola went up to Bugs, who was trying to hold back his tears.
"I'm going to miss you most of all," said Lola.
"I'm going to miss you, too." He said.
She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. He blushed.
She then walked over to her parents who took her by the hand.
"Good bye!" said Lola.
"Bye Lola," they all said
They all walked to the fence to watch them go inside their car, which was packed with their stuff. Lola then waved from the window and the others waved back. The watched the car start and leave, then it turned the corner and disappeared. Granny and the kids went back inside, except for Bugs. He still looked after the car. He fell to his knees and cried silently.
Present…
"Wow! Who knew that you too were best friends as kids," said Melissa.
"I did," said Granny
Bugs and Lola looked at each other. The both shared an expression of amazement. So, they knew each other since they were babies. But, since Lola went away and was gone for so many years, they have forgotten about each other.
Who knew!
