REVIEW RESPONSE

Rock Raider: There's more to the story than just that. Think, why did Pranker show up when Petunia's daughter was feeling ok while Petunia was unwell the whole time she turned into Pranker? Just a little hint there. I have something in mind for Minerva Minx. I don't know when I'll put it down though. And yes, Plucky and Shirley will have to be doing a lot of babysitting.

PurpleCobra247: It took a while for me to decide on what Pranker would actually do at her comeback. I'll say one thing, the chaos is only beginnning. Glad you liked the action. I've got n action filled climax planned out in my head rght now. Look out for it.

acosta pèrez josè ramiro: Glad to see that you're back. I suspected that Hurricane Wilma might have kept you busy. Glad you and your family are ok. My heart goes out to the victims. Thanks for the review. Glad you liked it.

Nightw2: Glad you liked the action. There will be a little more drama at the end of this chapter. One thing I will say is that two major events will happen. I won't say what they are but you can probably guess one of them.

Big trouble

The police arrived on the scene soon after FoxFang and cub had left. One of the police vehicles came up around the back of the looniversity to meet up with the group out the back. Officers Richard and Rebecca stepped out of the vehicle when it had parked up. They had witnessed the incident on television and had come to see if everything was ok. They had long since forgotten the prophecy that Shirley had given them two months ago and were also going to ask if anyone knew about FoxFang and Cub.

"Is everybody ok?" Richard asked. Bugs glanced around and did a quick head count.

"Yep, everyone's here." Bugs replied.

"Any idea who that clown was?"

"She's called Pranker. I thought FoxFang defeated her last year."

"But who is she?"

"It's a very complicated story. In short terms, she's a villian from 300 years ago who somehow came back from the dead, and sh'es back again."

"Does she have some kind of link to the FoxFang?"

"Apparently, she was his sworn enemy from 300 years ago."

"300 years!" Richard and Rebecca exclaimed.

"Even I'm not sure of the specifics. Ask Wile E Coyote for an explination."

"Oh, ok, we will." Richard replied.

"Now, where did FoxFang go?" Rebecca asked.

"Hang on doc, I need to ask you something." Bugs said.

"Ok."

"I've been hearing some rumors about the police wanting to arrest FoxFang for whatever reason. Is that true?"

"Well…yes it is." The whole group gasped in horror.

"What's wrong with that?" Richard asked.

"Doc, do you know how many times my family owes our lives to FoxFang?" Bugs asked.

"Well then, how many?"

"About 5 times."

"Five?"

"Yeah, and it's not just me. It's Lola and my own daughter. We all owe FoxFang big time."

"On the subject of your daughter, I thought she was at the party."

"She was, but I took her home after the ceremony."

"And what does she do when she's alone."

"Watches TV, plays games, lots of different things."

"Is that everything?"

"Doc, are you implying that Jess might be linked to FoxFang?"

"There's no evidence pointing towards anyone so everyone's a suspect, and that includes your daughter." The rest of the group gasped in shick. Plucky and Shirley were close to panic. If Jessica's identity was blown, she would be in major trouble. Shirley quickly opened up a telepathic link towards Jessica and Zach.

"Guys, get to your house now!" Shirley told them telepathically.

"Doc, Jessica is only 7 years old!" Bugs protested.

"And she never comes top in gym." Lola added.

"Plus the voices are different. We've met FoxFang several times so we should know."

"But either way, would we be able to speak to your daughter?"Richard asked.

"Sure you can, but if she had anything to do with FoxFang, we wouldknow about it." Lola replied.

As soon as she received the telepathic message, Jessica immediately ran back to her room. She knew that something was happening otherwise Shirley wouldn't have contacted her or Zach telepathically. She returned to her room about 2 minutes before her parents did. She had to run all the way down but she still had enough time to catch her breath. She was anxious as to why Shirley had told her to get home. Obviously her parents were about to get home but she was wondering if it was anything else. She already had planned as to what she was going to say. She was waiting in her room under her duvet covers. Her TV was tuned ni on the channel that had been televising the wedding. She was making it look like she was scared. Eventually, her bedroom door opened She slowly peeped out from under the covers and saw her father at the door.

"There you are." Bugs greeted. Jessica put on her 'terrified child' routine.

"She's back isn't she?" Jessica asked.

"Who?"

"The lady that abducted me last year."

"I'm sorry to say so, but yeah." Bugs didn't need to ask how Jessica knew because he could tell that she had been watching the event on telly.

"Does that mean we're in danger dad?"

"I don't know, but it's safe to come out forr the moment." Jessica came out from under the covers and looked up at her dad.

"I'm glad."

"Jess, there is someone who would like to talk to you."

"Who dad?" Bugs stepped aside and allowed Richard and Rebecca to enter Jessica's room. Jessica suddenly began to feel very nervous. She had a horrible feeling the the police knew who she was, ans she kneww that Richard and Rebecca had no tolerance for FoxFang.

"Erm…what's up docs?" Jessica asked. She was impersonating her father and acting casual.

"Jessica Diana Bunny, we need to know where you have been for the past few hours." Rebecca said.

"Why?"

"It's a lead on the 'Who is the FoxFang' case. "

"Are you saying it's me?"

"No, but we need to speak with you so we can eliminate you from the list of suspects."

"Well, if you want to know, I've been in my room ever since Dad brought me back here after Buster and Babs' wedding ceremony."

"Can anyone confirm that you haven't been anywhere else?"

"Doc, if she's been alone, then no one can confirm it." Bugs said. Rebecca looked sheepish while Richard laughed.

"He got you there." Richard said.

"Yeah, he did." Rebecca replied.

"Anyway, we'll be going now."

"Jessica, thank you for your time."

"Before you guys go, I would like it if you took FoxFang off the wanted liist." Bugs said

"It is not out place to decide that. It's up to our boss."

"Ok then, in which case, I'll make the case to him myself."

"Whatever. I doubt he will change though." With that, Richard and Rebecca left the burrow. As they left, Lola walked nito Jessica's room.

"What was that all about?" Jessica asked.

"The police thought you might be FoxFang." Lola replied.

"They did?"

"Yep."

"Are they related to Elmer Fudd?" Everyone started laughing. They all knew that saying that line was Jessica's way of questioning people's intelligence. Jessica was laughing on the outside but on the inside, she was giving a huge sigh of relief. That was as close as the police had gotten to discovering the truth. At the same time, she was thinking. Shilrey had given those two officers doubts with her prophecy so she wanted to know why they were still at FoxFang's throat. Eventually, Busg was able to stop laughing.

"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Bugs asked.

"Well, I'm not tired yet." Lola replied.

"Nor am I, and knowing that 'SHE' is back, I doubt I can sleep at the moment." Jessica added.

"Eh, we might as well watch a movie and try to forget about the incident." Bugs suggested.

"OK!" Lola and Jessica replied simultaneously.

Plucky and Shirley had returned to the Foxcave. Shortly after Bugs and Lola left, everyone else at the party had left as well. They were all too shocked about the incident to continue with the party. They first went by Shirley's house to pick up King. When they arrived at the Foxcave, the only person present was Egghead Jr. He was busy at his usual place, at the computer. Plucky and Shirley went over to him to look at what he was up to. He was using his chemical set to analyse the sample of Pranker gas FoxFang had collected. He had a breathing tube just in case he inhaled some of the gas. He was analysing the gas with an electron microscope. Egghead Jr. briefly looked over his shoulder and saw that Plucky and Shirley were standing next to him. When he saw them he gave them a note Jessica had leftthem and gestured them to give him some space. He didn't want Plucky or Shirley to inhale the gas and be affected. Plucky and Shirley backed off and read the note that Jessica had left them.

'Plucky and Shirley,

When me and Zach battled the Pranker earlier today, I was able to obtain a sample of her poisonous gas in a test tube. I have instructed egghead Jr. to analyse the gas and attempt to create opposites that will allow us to combat Pranker more effectively. While Egghead Jr. is doing this, we need you to locate both Pranker and Petunia's daughter. Zach finds it unusual that the Pranker is taller than Petunia's daughter and the huge delay between the incident at my house and her arrival. When you do this, please report any details about what you have found out when we're next in the Foxcave. We need to bring this maniac down before she threatens my family again.

Jessica.'

"At least this time, we have the equipment to track her properly." Plucky muttered.

"I just hope Buster and Babs aren't too upset." Shilrey said.

"Be thankful that we're all alive."

"True, but I'm worried about Jessica…"

"Because of the police?"

"Yeah. They're getting close to the truth despite what I did two months ago."

"Perhaps they forgot about your prophecy."

"Maybe, I hope not."

"Anyway, we'd better get to work locating Pranker."

"Perhaps we should wait for Egghead Jr. to finish first. We don't want to be affected by Pranker gas."

"True."

Bugs, Lola and Jessica were sitting in the lounge in their burrow. They were watching a 'Looney Tunes collection' DVD, trying to forget abouut Praanker. Jeessica found this nearly impossible. She knew that she would have ot fight Pranker again and feared thaht her identity might be made public. If that happened, she would be in serious trouble. Not just from her parents, but from the police and maybe even the media. She prayed that Pranker would't reveal any secrets. She had no idea that Pranker had no memory about what had happened the previous August. Because of this, Pranker didn't know that Jessica was the FoxFang. While watching the cartoons, Jessica kept half an ear out listening for anything. She was preparing for the possibility that the Pranker might attack them but hoped that she wouldn't. If Pranker did attack them, Jessica wouldn't know what to do. She had two options. Her first option was to use the Fangwaves to signal for help. This had the major downside of the delay between the help message and help actually arriving. Pranker may kill them before help arrived. Her second option was to take her parents out of the house through the secret exit in her room. This had the major downside of having to tell her parents about her secret. She was scared as to how her parents would react if they knew about her secret. Whichever decision she chose, it would be a difficult one to make. Jessica had to constantly weight the advantages and disadvantages of each choice. She still hoped that Pranker wouldn't attack. All the time she was thinking this, Jessica put on a poker face to convince her arents that nothing was wrong.

"Eh, you ok Jess?" Bugs asked randomly. Jessica looked up at him and smiled.

"Yeah, I'm ok."

"I'm guessing you're a little tired."

"I suppose I am."

"In that case, why don't you head for bed. It's been pretty traumatic."

"Ok, goodnight dad."

"Goodnight Jess."

"And you mum."

"Goodnight." Lola replied. Jessica jumped down from the sofa and was about to head to her room when something caught her attention. Her trained hearing heard movement just ouutside the burrow. Her sense of danger immediately kicked in and told her something was wrong. She turned her head and looked towards the entrance of the burrow. Bugs looked at her and saw that Jessica looked troubled.

"Is something wrong?" Bugs asked.

"Dad, I thought I heard something." Jessica replied.

"Well, I don't hear anything."

"It's probably your imagination." Lola added.

"Maybe." Jessica replied. She then heardthe noise again, this time it was louder. Before she could say anything, she heard the front door opening. Bugs and Lola also heard this and looked towards the door. It was now wide open. Before anyone could say anything, a voice was heard from outside.

"Knock, Knock." The voice said.

"Who's there?" Lola asked.
