After that ordeal, Bugs and Lola became a pair. They were inseparable from that day on. They were always hanging out, and doing stuff together. But, let's see what the first official date was like.
The movie making was drawing to a close. It would soon be time to say goodbye to the cast and crew. The toons were going to have to make a different living. Most of the toons were going to work at the Acme Looniversity as teachers. But, ever since Tiny Toons ended, they just taught rather than make new episodes.
Anyways…
Speedy Gonzalez decided to open up his own Tex Mex restaurant in LA. For the grand opening and as a farewell party, he invited the cast for a karaoke party. This was Bugs' opportunity. So, after the shooting that day, he approached Lola.
"Hey, Lo" he greeted with a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey, babe. So, what's up?" she asked
"Dat's my line!" he said playfully
"I mean, what's happenin'?"
"Well, ya heard about dat party Speedy's troin'?"
"Yeah,"
"Let's go together,"
"Sure that would be great," she said as she wrapped her arms around him. They were coming closer to each other when…
"Hey guys!" interrupted Daffy and Melissa.
"Hey Daff," said Bugs
"Hi Melissa," said Lola
"So, you guys heard about that party Speedy's having? It would be great if we all went together," said Melissa
"Yeah, we can all go in Bugs' car. Why don't you pick us up at seven," said Daffy as he left with Melissa arm in arm. Bugs and Lola just looked after them and then looked at each other. "Did that just happen?" they thought.
Later that night Bugs went to Lola's house to pick her up at her house. He had to dress up for the occasion. He was wearing a pair of black pants and a white button down shirt. Hey! It isn't the gala premier; it's just a semi-formal cast party. When he arrived, he knocked on the door. When Lola came out, she had on a black mini skirt and a light blue halter-top. They greeted each other, and got into the car. They arrived at Daffy's place to pick him and Melissa up.
When they got to Speedy's place, The Guacamole, they saw the entire cast. Mr. Pytka was there as well as many of the writers and directors. Of course Michael was there with his family, and the other live actors were there, too. Most of the toons were there already. Pepe was chasing after Penelope all over the restaurant, Foghorn was smacking Barnyard Dawg with a wooden board, you know the usual! The group sat down at the table where Porky and Petunia were sitting at. Then the host of the evening, Speedy, came on stage.
"Buenas Noches! We are going to have a maravilloso time. I hope you enjoy today's meal. Despues, vamos a have a little fun!"
They all began to eat. There were some injuries due to some toons spitting fire after trying the tacos with some Mexican hot sauce. Otherwise everyone was having a good time. Then Speedy brought out a Karaoke machine on stage.
"Now it's time for a little entertainment. Who will be the first victima?"
Then Daffy came on stage. "Let me show you how it's done!" Then "Always" by Bon Jovi began to play. He started to get really into it. (Or killing it.)
"This Romeo was bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog's kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up"
The crowd was cracking up. But Melissa was the only one who smiled with a look of love. Then he offered the microphone to anyone who would take it. Elmer Fudd was pushed up on stage by Yosemite Sam, and then "I can see clearly now" began to play.
"Heh, heh, I can see cwearly now the wain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dawk cwouds that had me down
Its gonna be a bwight, bwight, bwight, bwight, sunshiny day!"
Everyone was having a good time. Elmer was quickly looking around for someone to pass it to. Just then Porky made a suggestion, "Hey, why d-d-don't the three g-g-g-musketeers go?"
"Yeah, why not?" said Daffy pushing Melissa on stage. Then Petunia and Lola followed on stage. Then "Something to Talk about" began to play. Melissa quickly gave the microphone to Lola and pushed her to the front. Lola shrugged her shoulders and sang as the other two sang back up,
"People are talking (Uh Huh)
Talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper (Uh Huh)
You won't believe it
They think we're lovers (Uh Huh)
Kept under covers
I just ignore it,
But they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud (a little too loud)
Stand just a little too close (a little too close)
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing
Something we don't darlin'
Let's give them somethin' to talk about (somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give them somethin' to talk about (somethin' to talk about)
How about love?"
Then Bugs, Daffy, and Porky got on stage. "Bad" by Michael Jackson began to play. The guys sang together.
"Your Butt Is Mine
Gonna Take You Right
Just Show Your Face
In Broad Daylight
I'm Telling You
On How I Feel
Gonna Hurt Your Mind
Don't Shoot To Kill
Come On, Come On,
Lay It On Me All Right...
I'm Giving You
On Count Of Three
To Show Your Stuff
Or Let It Be . . .
I'm Telling You
Just Watch Your Mouth
I Know Your Game
What You're About
Well They Say The Sky's
The Limit
And To Me That's Really True
But My Friend You Have
Seen Nothing
Just Wait 'Til I Get Through . . .
Because I'm Bad, I'm Bad-
Come On
(Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad-
You Know It
(Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad-
Come On, You Know
(Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
And The Whole World Has To
Answer Right Now
Just To Tell You Once Again,
Who's Bad . . ."
Then "We are family" by sister sledge was playing. Everyone in the restaurant began to sing.
"We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing
Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(FLY!) And we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(ALL!) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing"
The night went on. They were all having a good time. When it started to get late, many of the people started to leave. Bugs and crew got to their car. Bugs dropped Daffy and Melissa off first. Then he took Lola home. However, Bugs stopped the car at the lake. They both got out and sat on the hood of the car. They admired the moon reflected off the surface of the lake.
"I had so much fun tonight," said Lola
"Yeah, Speedy can trow one great party," said Bugs
"The Karaoke was really fun. Did you know that Karaoke is Japanese for 'tone deaf'?"
"No, But I could see how it got its name,"
They both laughed.
"It's getting late. I should be getting home," said Lola looking at her watch.
"I'll walk you home," offered Bugs
They walked down the road together toward Lola's house.
"So, what are you gonna do after da movie?" asked Bugs.
"Well, I'm not sure," said Lola
"You should go to woik at da Loonivoisity," suggested Bugs
"At the Looniversity?"
"You could be a gym teacher, or whatever you'd like."
"That sounds interesting. I just might do that. I'll have to think about it."
Then it began to rain. Bugs and Lola then ran. They got to her house and they both went inside. They were soaking wet.
"That rain just came like that," said Lola, "here, take my umbrella, you're going to need it."
"No, it's O.K."
"But, you'll get a cold."
"Not if you give me a kiss to warm my heart," said Bugs bringing her up to him. She smiled slyly and gave a nice deep kiss. When they finished, Bugs was bright red. They said goodnight and Lola looked after Bugs as he skipped joyfully through the rain. Bugs then began to sing.
"I'm singin' in da rain
Just singin' in da rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let da stormy clouds chase
Everyone from da place
Come on with da rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down da lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin'
Singin' in da rain"
Quick note: This isn't a musical.
