REVIEW RESPONSE
PurpleCobra247: I'm glad you like those romantic scenes. I always slow down when I'm writing a scene like that. I'll keep on writing this story and Time Toons, but I'm not sure which one I'll finish first.
Nightw2: Glad you liked the beginning chapter. I hope your hunch is right about this being a very good story. It should have a few surprises along the way.
Rock Raider: I have to admit, it's a good idea but I've got this story pretty much plotted out in my mind. I may spoof Clayface in the future but I doubt it would be any of the toons that would be clayed. You'll see how the wedding goes in this chapter.
She's baaaaack!
Buster and Babs were actually going to have their wedding in the Looniversity. The exchanging of vows was going to take place in the main hall with a party taking place in the Gym. Throughout the previous night, the hall was decorated with white strips of paper run along the walls. The hall was also filled with seats arranged like a church, all facing the back of the hall. There was a makeshift set of steps leading up to a makeshift raised area. A small organ had eben brought in so the wedding march couold be played. Many of the guests had already arrived. All of the Looney Tunes were present, as well as most of the Tiny Toons. Shirley had left Prince in the Foxscave, in the capible hands of egghead jr. Everyone present was dressed for the occasion. Men in Sharp tux's and ladies in dresses of different colours. The ladies were in the classroom directly opposite one of the side entrances to the main hall. Jessica was still a little miserable about being one of the bridesmades but ut on a poker face to hide it. Shirley could tell that she was nervous but decided to said nothing. Babs was admiring her wedding dress in her reflection on the window. She had finally decided on a cream dress with white flowers decorating all the way down. The only other people in the room were Fifi la Fume, who was chosen as the ringbearer and Babs' mother. Just dwn the hall, the men were also preparing for the big moment. Plucky duck was with Buster asmiring his black tux. Zach was there as well. Daffy had given him a similar treatment. He had been chosen to be a pageboy as well as Plucky but Daffy and Melissa just hadn't told him. Zach was angry with them for doing that and was just as unhappy about it as Jessica was. In the end, Daffy had reached the same compromise that Bugs had with Jessica. Once the ceremony was over, Daffy would take Zach home. Both of them were aware of each other's presence and they planned to meet up in the Foxcae as soon as they could. In the ladies' room, Jessica was sitting on the floor staring blankly around. Her sense of danger was kicking in, for no reason at all. She began to have a feeling that something would go wrong somehow. The only one that seemed to notice was Shirley. She came over to where Jessica was.
"Are you ok Jess?" Shirley asked. Jessica looked up and lookked at her.
"Don't know." Jessica replied.
"What do you mean?"
"I get the feeling that something's going to happen."
"You do seem to have your father's sense of danger."
"But I hope I'm wrong, for Buster and Babs' sake."
"Is that the only thing on your mind?"
"No. I'm still mad at my parents."
"Aren't you happy about being a bridesmaid?"
"It's not that. It's the fact that they didn't tell me until this morning."
"I'm not surprised. I had similar troubles with my parents, and I think something similar to Zach."
"But the only consolation for me is that after the ceremony, Dad will take me home."
"What will you do? Go to t…" Jessica quickkly closed Shirley's beak before she could finish her sentence.
"Don't bring that subject up here." Jessica whispered sternly. Shirley then realised how close she had come to letting the secret slip. This was a first for her.
"Sorry, wasn't thinking."
"And I thought Plucky would be the clumsy one." Shirley just blushed to herself.
In the men's room, Zach was keeping to himself as well. He was still angry with Daffy for not telling him anything about this. He decided to put up with it for Buster and Babs, then have a moan about it later. He just sat be himself just thinking about what he and Jess would do in the Foxcave. He knew Jessica well enough to realise that she would put defending the party on high priority. He saw the logic in this but he was still reminded of the incident the previous august when the ACME opening was ruined. Zaach still remembered the Pranker's hideous laugh and prayed that she would never come back. He was hoping that Egghead Jr. would be able to haack into the CCTV so they could keep watch on the party, just like he had during the incident when Swackhammer attacked the Looniversity. He had a sense of danger as well as Jessica, but it wasn't as strong. Even though it wasn't as strong, he also had the feeling thst something bad was going to happen. He hoped it wasn't the case. He looked up briefly and saw that Plucky was standing in front of him.
"You ok Zach?" Plucky asked.
"Plucky, do you get the feeling something's going to happen?" Zach asked.
"Err, nope."
"Well I do, and I'm a little worried."
"Do all rabbits have a sense of danger?"
"Don't know."
"But either way, we should keep an eye out."
"Daffy's taking me home once the ceremony's over."
"Is he?"
"Yeah. Thst's what we compromised on."
"Oh, well perhaps it's better like that." Plucky gave a quick wink at Zach as he said this. Zach understood and winked back. Before they could continue, Bugs opened the door and called for everyone's attention.
"Guys, the wedding's about to start. Buster, you get to your place and wait for you bride." Bugs called out.
"Ok." Buster replied. He was so excited he practically ran out of the room to reach his position. Plucky just sniggered to himself.
"Well, we'd better get to our places." Zach muttered.
"Yeah. Looking forward to it?" Plucky asked.
"Between us, not really. The sooner it's done, the sooner I can go home."
The ceremony went extremely smoothly without any problems, except when Furball dropped the video camera he was usingg to film the event. He was able to pick up the camera quickly and finish filming. Once the ceremony was over, Bugs and Daffy kept their promises to Jessica and Zach and took them home. The rest of the group went into the gym for the rest of the party. The gym had beel fully stocked for the occasion. Along one side was a long table loaded with a different range of food. There was also a music set in the corner of the room. Sweetie was the DJ and choosing a selection of music to suit everybody's taste. Eventually, Babs did the traditional tossing of the boquet. After a brief tussle, thwe winner of the toss was Shirley. Plucky had expected it to happen and was actually seriously considiring about popping the question. He still hadn't brought the ring though. While this had been all happening, Jessica and zach ha been training in the Foxcave. It had been fairly quiet so far but they still kept an eye on the computer screens. The media were acctually filming the event as it was happening, just as they had done with Bugs and Lola's wedding. It was now 9:00 and the party was still going on. Jessica and Zach had long since changed out of their smart clothes and were dressed in casual wear. They were watching the event on the computer screens. They both had a glassof Carrot juice to share between them. Egghead Jr. was looking at a different screen finalising the plans for the hoverfox. King was sleeping behind him, in his crime battling attire.
"So far so good." Jessica muttered.
"I'm glad nothing's happened." Zach added.
"Zach, did you get the feeling that something would happen?"
"Yeah I did. I just hope that nothing does happen. Why, did you?"
"Yes. My sense of danger told me that something would happen."
"Any idea what?"
"No, but knowing that this is being televised live is making me slightly nervous."
"I suppose. Any thug could just waltz right in there and spoil the party." As soon as Zach finished saying that, the Fangwave sounded. They both looked up and at the screen shownig the coverage of the wedding party. Sure enough, a fight was brewing. Two people dressed what looked like clowns were leaping around the room and attacking the guests. The clowns were very fat and worre green clothing. They also had pin on red noses. They could see that some of the guests were fighting back. Sirley was throwing energy bolts at the attackers. Furball was scratching at some with his claws.
"Looks like our senses of danger were right after all." Jessica muttered.
"Well, let's go." Zach added. They went over to the storage cupboards and unlocked them with their handprints. The cupboards slid open and revealled the FoxFang and Cub uniforms. While they were suiting up, Zach caught a glimpse ofsomething else happening. White smoke was filling the entire room. Jessica and Zach had just finished changing when the smoke cleared. They looked into the screen and saw that another figure had appeared ni the fray. It was a figure that they both recognised and were both shockedand horrified to see. They both gasped in horror before exclaiming together.
"PRANKER!"
Back at the party, Pranker had revealled herself in the centre of the dining room. Everyone in the room recognised her and were almost trembling with fear. Plucky and Shirley were especially shocked to see her. Thye had thought that Pranker was gone for good. The two thugs had gathered around her. One was holding a mocrophone, whicch he gave to the Pranker.
"Well, it seems that I chose a good place to announce my comeback." Pranker gloated. She glanced around the room and eyed everyone. Almost all of them were hiding behind overturned tables or behind each other.
"Ok, everyone, I'd like to announce my big…" Pranker began but she was interrupted. Tweety had flown up close and was right in her face.
"Ok, ok Pranker. We know, you're back to plunge the city into chaos." Tweety said. He was trying to be sarcastic about the situation.
"Don't you dare interrupt…you remember me?"
"How could I forget you? You nearly killed us!" Pranker leaned her head forward and had a sniff.
"But you don't have wrinkly skin, and you certinly don't smell like an old geezer."
"You attacked last august."
"Did I?" Pranker smiled with glee before knocking Tweety out of the air with her hand and onto a small handheld bed. Pranker then put on a pair of glasses to make herself look like a psychairatrist.
"Ok then, just, how long have you been having this dream?" Pranker asked.
"Erm……" Tweety was too shocked by this to say aything. He could remember Pranker, but Pranker couldn't remember august. Plucky and Shirley were also surprised at this. They had no idea why Pranker couldn't remember what had happened the previous august.
"Oh it doesn't matter. It's not that important. What is important is that we have a bit of fun together."
"Then allow us to provide the first game." A voice from above said. Everyone looked up and saw FoxFang, Cub and King leap down from the roof and confront the Pranker. The Pranker looked at them and smiled with glee.
"Oh goodie, FoxFang is still around. Let me get a…"
"Quiet. Are you going to be peaceful or do we have to get rough?" FoxFang scolded.
"That depends on what my minions think. They're called 'Slap' and 'Stick'." Pranker raised an arm and the two clowns leapt at FoxFang and cub. They were far to slow and FoxFang and Cub were easily able to dodge. FoxFang leapt at one while Cub took on the other. Slap and Stick took quite a beating, as FoxFang and Cub used their slow speed against them. FoxFang leapt at Slap and kicked him straight into the wall. Slap came running back and leapt on top of her. FoxFang gave a kick with both feet to keep slap off. The kick sent slap sailing over her head and onto one of the broken tables. Cub was jumping from table and onto Stck's head. Each time he landed on stick, he gave a kick to the face. Stick was far too slow to catch him. Eeventually, Cub made it look as he was going for the head again but Sick was ready for it and attempted to punch Cub in the face. Cub had anticipated this and just grabbed Stick's arm. He landed on the feet and was able to throw him over his head and to the floor. The resulting thud sent a shockwave throughout the gym. FoxFang, Cub, King and the Pranker kept their feet but Slap fell to the floor, as did all the guests. Before he could get up. FoxFang leapt towards him and kicked him in the face. FoxFang and Cub immobilised Slap and Stick with Foxcuffs before approaching Pranker.
"What was that meant to be?" FoxFang asked.
"Oh my, you're much better than the last FoxFang ever was." Pranker said.
"Thanks for the compliment."
"Whatever, I'm not here to compliment you. I'm here for old times' sake. It will be the old Pranker vs the New FoxFang. Battle of the century."
"Battle of the century eh?"
"But not here. I have a few things to sort out first. Here's a memento of me first." Pranker then threw a small ball towards FoxFang and Cub. They immediately jumped backwards, as they knew what was in it. After a couple of seconds, the ball exploded and, just as FoxFang and Cub suspected, began leaking a blue gas.
"Everyone, get out!" Cub shouted."
"HAHAHAHAHA! Have fun, fox-freaks." Pranker's words echoed throughout what remained of the gym. The guests fled the gym through the doors that led to the locker room FoxFang pulled out a test tube from her utility belt, all the while, backing away from the blue cloud.
"FoxFang, what are you doing?" Cub asked.
"I'm getting a sample of this gas. It may be helpful." FoxFang replied. Before Cub could object, FoxFang put a breathing tube in her mouth and leapt close to the cloud. She swung the tube and collected some of the gas in it. She sealed the tube before leaping back.
"Ok, let's go." FoxFang said. Cub just nodded and they used their grapple guns to return to the roof, where the Foxchopper was waiting. Once they were on the roof, Cub gave a look towards FoxFang. He was amazed at what she had just done.
"Are you ok?" Cub asked.
"I'm fine."
"Did the gas not affect you?"
"You're forgetting about the breathing tubes that were in the utilitty belts." As she said that, FoxFang pulled out the breathing tube from her mouth.
"Ok, duh."
"We'd better make sure everyone's ok."
"Right."
The guests had fled through the locker rooms and into the back garden. Luckily, nobody had inhaled the Pranker's poison and everyone was safe. Buster and Babs were particularly stricken by the event. They were horrified thatsomeone had spoilt their special night. Babs was in Buster's arms and looking at the Looniversity. The group were standing in the sports field out the back. There were a couple of soccer goals standing but not much else around.
"Was that who I thought it was?" Bugs asked.
"I am so glad Jessica wasn't here to see that." Lola added.
"What do you mean?" Furball asked.
"You remember the last time that Pranker dude attacked right?"
"Vaguely."
"That time, she kidnapped our daughter and nearly killed us. I remember her saying something about revenge."
"So, what's your point?" Before Bugs could answer, FoxFang was lowered down to them via one of the cables from the FoxChopper. She jumped in front of the group and everyone looked at her.
"Is everyone present and alright?" FoxFang asked.
"Yes, everyone's fine." Buster replied.
"But why did she spoil our wedding?" Babs asked.
"I'm more concerned about how she came back." FoxFang replied.
"What do ya mean doc?" Bugs asked.
"It's a very complicated story."
"But I seem to remember that they never found the Pranker's body." Lola said.
"No, they didn't."
"How do you know about that?"
"I was there remember. I was saving your daughter from her."
"And did you see Pranker escape?" Before FoxFang could reply, she heard sirens in the distance. She then realised that the police were coming so she decided to end the conversation.
"Maybe I'll tell you sometime, but for now, I'd better go." FoxFang gave a signal upwards and Cub raised her back to the Foxchopper. As soon as she was back on board, the Foxchopper left the scene, long before the police arrived.
A/N: Well, she's back. But what is the story behind this? All will be revealled. For now, please review. I want to knnow how I did.
