Bugs had stopped having his dream. It didn't appear as much anymore, that it practically disappeared from his memory. School time was back again (unfortunately) and he wanted to put a plan into effect. He had been thinking about this for a very long time. Ok now lets fast forward to end of October. (Sorry if my sequencing is a little whack!)
On Hollow's eve a.k.a. Halloween, Bugs is about to put his plan into action. They went together to go trick-or-treating. Bugs was dressed as a pirate with black pants, green shirt, brown boots, brown vest, black belt with a dagger, a hat, a sword, and no pirate would be complete without a pierced ear and an eye patch. Lola was dressed as a warrior with a short black leather skirt, high black boots, red vest, and metal bands with a sword, a Xena type of thing. Eat your heart out Lucy Lawless!
They were traveling around together, stopping by houses to get candy or play tricks. Many of the other toons were out as well. They saw Tweety in a Frankenstein costume and Sylvester in a mad scientist's costume. Just to mention a few.
Bugs and Lola approached a house; they knocked on the door and out came Yosemite Sam.
"Trick-or-treat!" chanted Bugs and Lola.
"Well ain't that cute. You're trying to be a Pirate like ol' Sam," he said referring to Bugs' costume, "but no flea bitten landlubber rabbit is gonna get a candy out of me!" he yelled as he slammed the door in their faces.
Bugs and Lola just looked at each other and when their eyes met, the smiled for they knew what the other was thinking.
Then Yosemite heard a knock at his door and Lola, in a maiden's costume, barged in and shut the door.
"Please help me Pirate Sam! Black Beard is after my father's treasure map! Oh, please hide me!" she pleaded.
"Why certainly ma'm. I'll keep that mean old Black Beard away from you," he said sweetly, not recognizing Lola.
"Oh thank you so much!" she sighed, "I also need another favor. Can you please find the treasure for me? And bring it back to me?"
"Why certainly ma'm, it'll be my pleasure," he said with an evil grin on his face. He went outside to begin his search. "Ha ha! If you think I'm gonna bring back that treasure to ya, your gonna be very disappointed," he read the map, "It says that its ten paces north from the oak tree." He found the oak tree and counted, "one… two… three… four… five… six… seven… eight… nine… ten!" He found the spot in front of a bush. He ran to his shed to get a shovel and ran back. As he began to dig, Bugs jumped out in his pirate costume.
"Hold it right there Sam! Dat treasure is mine!" he yelled.
"Oh yeah! Just try and take it!" he said as he pulled out his sword, " or I'll cut ya up into idy pieces!"
"Alright Sam, just please don't hoit me!"
Sam continued to dig until he found a treasure chest. He brought it out of the hole and was about to open it.
"Eh, I don't tink you should open it," said Bugs playfully
"And why not?" yelled Sam
"Cause it ain't yours,"
"I already told you it's mine!"
"You sure?"
"It's mine!" he yelled. He forced open the chest and looked inside then…BOOM! He looked up and his faced was charred up.
"Eh, whatever you say doc, its yours," said Bugs. Lola appeared on the scene and took Bugs is arm. They walked calmly past Yosemite and Lola looked back and said, "Trick." Yosemite threw down his hat and stomped on it in rage.
That night when they were heading for home after a good night's trick-or-treating…
"Hey, Lo I gotta tell ya something," said Bugs
"What?" asked Lola.
"Well after a night of tricks, I thought you deserved a little treat," he said while holding up an envelope to her. She took it and opened it. When she saw what was inside she let out a squeal of joy.
"Tickets! To the Bull's game! Oh Bugs you're the best!" she chanted. She planted a big kiss on him.
"Step one complete," said Bugs to himself.
Lola was really excited. She waited for that November day impatiently. The first day of the basketball season, and they had tickets. Bugs was equally excited. Even some of the students noticed their behavior.
"Bugs is acting really weird," said Buster as he walked down the corridor with his group of friends.
"Yeah, I have a feeling that he has something up his sleeve," said Babs
"Maybe he's thinking about giving us a surprise quiz in toon physics," said Plucky
"Somehow I like don't think so," interrupted Shirley, "Did you like notice that he's blushing?"
"Really?" the group said as the sneaked towards the office to peek inside to see if it was true. They quickly ran away when Bugs looked in their direction.
"You're right Shirley," said Buster
"Like fer sure," said Shirley
"Hmm, I wonder…"
In gym class they noticed that Lola was very cheerful. She let them have free play. She also kept spacing out into her own little world.
"I think I know what's going on," said Babs, "these two have a major date tonight."
"Looks like it," said Buster
"Zat eez so romantic. It must be very exciting to have a sweetheart, non?" said Fifi becoming bubbly.
"Yeah," murmured the girls together as they began to fantasize. The guys shrugged their shoulders, "girls!" they sighed and continued playing.
That night was the big date. Lola hurried home to get ready. She decided to wear her red blouse, jean mini skirt, and matching jean jacket. Bugs also hurried home to get ready. He put on a pair of jeans and a dark blue polo shirt. He drove to her house to pick her up. Then they headed off towards the stadium. Upon arrival they presented their tickets and headed inside.
"Eh, I'll meet up with ya later. I'm gonna buy da popcorn," said Bugs
"Alright," she said. She continued to walk around to look for the seats while Bugs disappeared in the crowd. When she did find the seats, she sat down and waited for Bugs. She started to worry when the announcer began to introduce the starting line-ups. She looked around and finally spotted Bugs carrying a tray of popcorn and sodas. He reached her and sat down.
"That was a really long time for just popcorn and sodas," said Lola
"It was a really long line," said Bugs
"But, when we passed by the line was short,"
"Oh, I went to da bathroom before I got on line,"
"Oh. Ok," she said not quite believing him but letting it pass. "I hope he washed his hands," she thought to herself as she ate some popcorn.
"Step two completed," he thought to himself.
The game began and Michael Jordan played incredibly (as usual). The Bulls were playing at their best. At half time, Bugs got up.
"Where are you going?" asked Lola.
"Nature calls," he answered as he walked up the stairs.
"Oh. To much soda I guess," she said. When Bugs was out of sight she sighed, "he's up to something, he can't hide it from me."
She was waiting and waiting for him, until she noticed something unusual. On the screen she saw that Bugs was on the court. "Hold Up!" she said. She looked down and saw him there on center court. Then the announcer called, " And a message for Miss Lola Bunny." She looked up and saw her face on the screen. Then on the screen appeared this message:
Miss Lola Bunny
You're an angel from above
You chase the clouds away
You fill my heart with love
Your beauty blooms each day
Your heart is big and true
You're the light in my life
The question I ask you
Is will you be my wife?
-Bugs
On the screen appeared Lola's bright red shocked face. "Oh my gosh!" she thought, "Is this for real or am I dreaming?" The crowds' cheering brought her out of her astonishment. She dashed down the steps, or rather was pushed down by the congratulating crowd. She began to run down the steps as she realized that it was really happening and excitedly jumped over the railing to run to Bugs. Before she could say anything, Bugs, who kept his cool even though he was just excited as she was, got on one knee. She held her breath, "Oh my gosh!" she kept shouting in her head. From his pocket he drew out a jewelry case. He opened it and revealed a gorgeous diamond ring. "Oh my gosh! This is really happening!" she thought.
"Oh Bugs!" she gasped.
"Will you?" he asked.
"Yes!" she said with tears of joy. He placed the ring on her finger and rose from his feet. He couldn't hold back his excitement any longer; he lifted her up with his arms and spun her around. "Yes!" is what he shouted, as he held her up proudly like a trophy he just won. When he put her down, she grabbed him in a kissing frenzy.
"The plan has been completed!" thought Bugs as he received the kisses, "And quite successful I might add!"
The crowed cheered and looked upon them in awe. Michael just smiled and said to himself, "Lucky rabbit."
JOY!
