Chapter 7: A Shocking Secret Revealed
(Just to let you know, the Loonatics are making a special appearance in this chapter. Enjoy!)
It was the next morning and Sylvester Jr. was the first to wake up by the time the sun was rising. He wasn't hungry for breakfast yet, so he decided to watch the morning news until he was. He turned the volume down, so he wouldn't wake up anybody. As he was watching, a news reporter was live at the scene where the accident Tanka, Kazami, and Yarniki were involved.
"I'm Davy Weasel reporting live from ACME Avenue where a deadly accident was set last night at around 10:37." The reporter started. "Three innocent animals, a kinkajou, a white croc, and a white tiger cub, were victims of the accident. They were ran over by this red Chevy Corvette that's completely covered in the animals' blood behind me. The driver of the vehicle is unknown, but was also injured in the accident. Animal control officals have reported that the animals were completely ran over on their backs by the car and having them spewing out blood from their mouths as the fell into an unconcious state. The condition of the animals is not confirmed at this time, but the driver's condition is okay. We will continue full coverage on the animals' injury condition as soon as we get the report. Reporting live from ACME Avenue, Davy Weasel, Channel 7 News…"
Soon enough, all the Looneys were watching this as they were awaken by the fact that three animals were injured. Lola gasped in horror as she recongized the animals.
"That was Sony and Yarniki! Oh, my God! I hope they're okay!" She screamed as Bugs embraced her affectionately.
"Who's da big, curly-tailed weasel though?" He asked with a serious tone in his voice as he held his wife close.
"That wasth a kinkajou, Bugsth." Sylvester Jr. replied. "It sthaid stho on tv."
"I bet that kinkajou tried to get them back to us." Lola thought outloud. "Kavasia, we gotta get my PSP, then go the the ACME Animal Hospital and see how they're doing."
"Okay. We better get dressed… and fast!" Kavasia agreed as she ran towards her new tent that Bugs put up not too long ago. Lola was about to follow her, but Bugs stopped her for a second.
"Rememba what I promised last night, doc?" He asked softly. Lola smiled as she nodded.
"Yeah. I remember. Kavasia and I will be back in time for our little 'love moment'. I promise." She whispered as she kissed him on the mouth before she headed to Kavasia's tent.
"Man, am I gonna fuck her good tonight?" Bugs muttered to himself as he went to the kitchen to cook some breakfast. Sylvester and Daffy followed. Sylvester Jr. and Wile E. watched as they continued watching the television.
"I sure hope thosthe animalsth are okay." Sylvester Jr. sighed to himself.
Meanwhile, at ACME Animal Hospital…
Tanka woke up and found himself in a hospital bed. He was in a recovery room with Yarniki, who was healing under a heat lamp, and Kazami, who was in his own chambers healing as well. Minutes later, a doctor walked in the room.
"Well, now! The white tiger cub's finally awake." He said in a country voice. "Your owner, Frank, was awfully worried about ya. Here he comes now."
Right on cue, Frank walked in with his father. They were relieved that the three animals were okay.
"Thank god! That was a really deadly accident, but you're alive!" Frank exclaimed. Tony walked over to Yarniki's tank and tapped on the glass.
"Wait 'til Lola sees ya'll. She'll cry 'til her eyes turn red." He said.
"I agree."
Tanka was relieved to see them as he meowed softly. Frank awed at that as he picked up the cub and embraced him.
"Should we stay with them until Lola gets here?" He asked his father.
"Good idea. We'll keep them company."
Meanwhile…
Lola and Kavasia just arrived at the Looney Post Office to pick up the PSP. Kavasia pulled out her battery powered radio while Lola inserted her P.O. Box key into her little door. Kavasia had on the news and turned it up so Lola could hear.
"Hey, Lo." She called. "You've gotta listen to this."
"…and now, an update on the deadly animal accident. Animal experts say that the cause of the innocent animals' injury was by being completely ran over by the vehicle over their heads and blood sprayed out of their mouths and rendering them in an unconcious state…" The radio spoke before Lola interrupted.
"Oh, my god! They could've been killed by that!" She screamed as she pulled out her PSP and her new copy of Darkstalkers Chronicle and placed them both in her backpack. "I hope they're okay."
"Then, you better hear this." Kavasia suggested as she resumed the volume of the radio.
"We do have a message on their condition. The vets say that the three animals are alive and well. That's amazing!"
"They're alive?" Lola asked softly, but surprisingly.
"That is amazing. They get ran over on the head…" Kavasia started before she was cut off.
"They're allive!" Lola repeated a little louder.
"…and they live. Talk about an animal miracle worth keeping on tape."
"THEY'RE ALIVE!" Lola screamed again before she quickly placed her backpack on her back and embraced her best friend. She leaked happy tears afterwards. "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, KAVASIA!"
"I can't believe it either, Lola." The purple raccoon felt her best friend's happiness and smiled while embracing her back. "Shall we head towards the ACME Animal Hospital and see them?"
Lola regained herself as she released her embrace and wiped her tears.
"Yeah. I wanna thank that kinkajou for at least helping them escape. Who knows? I might agree to keep him, too."
"That's good. I love kinkajous. They're adorable."
"Well, what are we waitin' for? Let's get a move on!" The two happy ladies ran out to Lola's shiny purple 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse, got in, and drove off to the animal hospital.
The good news spreaded like wildfire and everyone was happy to hear that Tanka, Kazami, and Yarniki survived an accident that could kill a domestic dog. Even at the gym, Sylvester Jr. heard the news and was too excited. He ran towards the kitchen table and got in his seat. Bugs and the other Looneys noticed the kitten's excitable behavior and was curious.
"What stheemsth to be all the exthcthitement about, sthon?" Sylvester asked.
"It'sth about thosthe animalsth that were ran over by the car! They sthurvived!" The happy kitten replied. Bugs froze bewteen putting a piece of his grilled carrot in his mouth. His mouth was open with shock as he dropped his fork and quickly dialed Lola's cell phone number on his cell.
"Lola? Did you hear da news?" He asked with excitement.
"Yeah! I'm heading to the animal hospital with Kavasia right now! I can't believe it!" Lola repiled from the other line. "We'll be home with them shortly."
"Alright." Bugs closed the lid of his cell phone and placed it on the table. He took a deep breath as he regained himself and continued eating.
"I know Lola isth happy as I don't know what right now!" Daffy screamed. "I love that tiger!"
"Ya do? I thought ya didn't like him."
"I didn't, but now, I do. He hasth a persthonality I didn't exthpect a white tiger cub to have!"
"Well, now. I haven't heard woids like dat come outta your beak in a long time, Daff. I'm happy for ya."
"Thank you very much."
Meanwhile, at the ACME Animal Hospital…
Yarniki was in Tony's lap while Frank was holding Tanka and Kazami in his arms. Seconds later, there was a knock at the door. Tony picked up the baby white croc and walked up to the door. When he opened it, he was surprised to see who it was.
"The Loonatics?" He asked. Ace (a.k.a. Buzz) held out his hand to the zookeeper.
"Pleasure." He greeted as he shook Tony's hand. "We've been overhearing the visitors in the lobby and we wanted to see the survivors ourselves."
"Well, ya came to da right place! Come on in!" The Loonatics did so and they saw the Tanka and Kazami playing with Frank while Tony went to sit back down next to his happy son. "This croc's name is Yarniki. The white tiger cub's name is Tanka and the kinkajou is named Kazami."
"Nice to meet all three of you." Tech greeted to the animals as he took a seat. "They must be lucky."
"Lucky enough to be alive!" Rev Runner agreed.
"We're actually waiting for Lola to get here, so she can have a blessed reunion with her pets." Frank explained. Ace nodded as he sat next to Frank on the other side.
"So we've heard." He replied.
"I can't wait to see the look on her face when she gets in here." Lexi said to herself as she took her seat. Spaz picked up Kazami and held him in his arms as he sat down.
"What kind of animal is he again?" He asked Tony.
"A kinkajou. They're like big weasels with prehensile tails." Tony replied as he stroked Yarniki's chin.
"I like the tiger. Can I hold him?" Lexi asked. Frank nodded as he stood up and handed Tanka to her. "He's beautiful."
"Danger Duck, you haven't said a word since you came in. What's the matta?" Frank asked.
"Danger Duck's so happy that he's literally speechless. He can't say a single word. We've tried pleading him to talk, but he just wouldn't move his mouth." Ace replied. "Talk about passionate."
"Oh. Okay."
Meanwhile…
The purple vehicle of Lola pulled into the parking lot, near the entrance. Lola and Kavasia quickly ran out of the car and was about to run inside, but Lola suddenly stopped and pressed a button on her car remote. The car made a "blip-blip" sound and it was secure before they continued on inside. They apporached the information counter.
"Excuse me." Lola started. "Do you know which room the three survivors are?"
"They're in room D14." The doctor replied.
"Thank you." They procceded towards the room by an elevator. When they arrived at floor 4, they got out and ran to the door that said "D14" on it and entered. They were surprised to see that it was a party inside… and they saw the Loonatics as well.
"Where are my babies!" Lola yelled to everybody. Tanka and Yarniki recongized that voice and they replied by running towards the two ladies, having Tanka landing in Lola's arms while Yarniki landed in Kavasia's.
"Well, there she is. Surprised to see the Loonatics here, huh?" Tony asked.
"Yeah. I didn't know they loved them, too."
"They're so small, yet they managed to survive such a tradgic accident." Rev Runner agreed.
"I know. It's amazing, isn't it?" Kavasia asked as she took her seat.
"Where's the kinkajou?" Lola asked as she walked around.
"You mean Kazami? He's sitting in Danger Duck's lap." Replied a male voice, which made her freeze.
"Who said that?"
"Look down at your arms."
She did so. She grew wide eyed for a second.
"Tanka? Did you just… talk?"
"Yeah. That's what I've been trying to keep as a surprise… and I suceeded."
At this moment, Lola's beautiful eyes became wet and glossy as she was about to cry. She embraced the tiger tightly.
"This is your shocking secret?" She asked.
"Yep… and it's not just me. Yarniki?"
"Yeah, what's up?" The white croc replied. This made Kavasia gasp.
"What the…? Did he just talk?" She asked her best friend.
"Yeah. Kazami can talk, too."
"Huh?" The kinkajou blurted out as he heard his name. That made everybody go quiet. The party was silent for about 10 minutes before Danger Duck finally broke the silence.
"Is it me… or did these animals just talk as if they were grown?" He asked.
"Danger! You finally spoke!" Rev Runner exclaimed. "I can't believe it!"
"All this time, you two, including Kazami, could talk?" Lola asked.
"Yeah. I make a great actor, don't I?" Tanka replied. Lexi nodded.
"Tell you what. You had us fooled there." She agreed. Ace sat back while sighing with relief.
"Goddamn." He muttered under his breath surprisingly. "All three of them had me fooled the most."
"Don't feel bad, Ace." Spaz encouraged. "I was just as fooled as you were."
"I thought baby animals couldn't talk until they were at least teens." Tech guessed.
"Well, you thought damn wrong!" Yarniki protested, which made everybody laugh.
"Nice sense of humor for some baby animals." Frank chuckled.
"They even talk like grown animals." Tony agreed.
This went on for the rest of the day until the sun went down. Lola and Kavasia agreed decided to let the Loonatics stay with them at the gym. As they got in the car, they had a bit of trouble. The small sedan of Lola's couldn't hold more than five people.
"We're not gonna be here all night, are we?" Rev Runner complained.
"I hope not. There's gotta be a way." Lola replied as she scratched the back of her head in thought. Then, right on cue, a blue shiny Chevy Equinox pulled up to them and was amazed to see its driver.
"Bugs?" Ace asked.
"Loonatics?" Bugs asked back. "What are you guys doin' here?"
"Lola kindly agreed to let us stay with you guys. I hope you won't mind." Spaz replied.
"No, not at all, docs. How about Yarniki, Tanka, and Kazami rides in da back seat of Lola's car while you Loonatics ride wit me? We're goin' back towards da gym together."
"Sounds good to me." Danger Duck replied as he opened the passenger door. "Ace, you can sit here."
"Nice." Ace replied as he took his seat while the other Loonatics took the other seats in the back. As soon as everybody was buckled in and ready to go, Bugs turned the SUV around and headed back to the gym, having Lola, Kavasia, and the three animals in the Eclipse followed.
Later…
"Whew! What a day! You should've been at our party, Bugs!" Lola started. They two bunnes were in their tent. "Everybody in the hospital celebrated with us."
"Dat's good ta hear, Lo." Bugs replied. "I'm glad ya enjoyed yaself."
"Me, too." She looked over her shoulder with a seductive smile as she turned around and slowly pinned her husband down to the sleeping bag on his back. "Now, I want some."
"Hold on." He clapped twice and the lights in the tent went dim. He placed his large hands around his wife's waist as he prepared to slowly slide her skirt off. She giggled as she felt his touch.
"You ready, baby?" She asked as she pressed her hands on his chest and began rubbing it sexually.
"Oh, yeah. I'm ready, Lo." He slowly pulled her skirt down, showing her white underwear. Lola felt this and leaned foreword and kissed him passionately. They continued the romance for the other hour and 55 minutes before they finally fell asleep, happy to have Tanka, Yarniki, and Kazami with them.
