A/N: Here's a story I thought up a few days ago. It's basically joining the trend for westerns, but this one has a difference. You'll see what I mean in the first chapter. Hope you enjoy it. It's my first western so go easy on me as I don't watch many. There will be some references to some of my other stories. I won't say which ones but you may be able to guess.

Invention gone wrong

It was a Saturday afternoon in the city of Looniville. It was a very sunny day and most of the citizens were out and about doing their normal things. The Looney Tunes however, were in Wile E Coyote's lab. Over the past week, he had been secretly building on a project that no one other than his assistant, Calamite coyote, knew about. They worked on it 24/7 to try and finish it for the Saturday. It was now finally finished and Wile E had invited as many Looney Tunes as he could to witness it. They were all gathered in a very large room in Wile E Coyote's lab. The room wasn't very pretty. It was virtually empty apart from a huge curtain at one end of the room. The curtain was hiding the device that Wile E had made. Everyone was waiting behind a small fence that Wile E had built to keep people back. Bugs Bunny was standing at the front of the group. Lola was standing next to him and Jessica was sitting on his shoulder. She was wearing a blue bow in her hair. It was a present that she had received from Zach a few days ago. It was her favourite bow; she was hardly ever seen without it. Daffy duck was standing next to them with Zach. Zach and Jessica kept on looking at each other and towards the curtain. They were both looking forward to seeing what this new device is. Melissa was resting at home. She had recently learned that she was pregnant so she was staying at home. Porky was there as well. Petunia had decided to stay at home and look after the children. She was also looking after Tweety and Aaooga's daughter. Sylvester and Penelope were at the gathering as well, with Sylvester Jr. standing next to his father. Tweety and Aaooga were sitting on Penelope's shoulder. Foghorn Leghorn and Miss. Prissy were there as well. They hadn't had much excitement so they were happy to be involved in the testing of this device. Elmer Fudd was also present, putting as much space between him and Bugs' family as possible. He didn't even get on with Jessica. Yosemite Sam was also present, keeping away from everyone. He had also been invited and was only present out of curiosity. He really didn't want to be here. Rocky and Mugsy were also present. They hadn't been invited but they had snuck in when they had heard of the invention. They were hiding behind a pillar in the room and intended to steal the device by holding everyone present hostage. They were pretty sure that nobody knew that they were there, but were unaware that Jessica and Zach had heard them. They were slowly looking around the room in between looking at each other and the curtain, trying to see what they had heard. Marvin the Martian was also present. He had been invited to have a look at the device, even though Wile E was aware that he probably had a similar device on mars. Marvin was curious as to what Wile E had made and was eager to compare it to any equivalents that he had on mars. Everyone had been waiting for about 20 minutes and were getting impatient, especially Sylvester Jr.

"Come on, when is Wile E going to show us what he made?" Sylvester Jr. complained.

"Now Jr, can you be patient for just a little while longer. He'll be here in a moment." Sylvester replied.

"He'd better be."

"Patience is a virtue." Penelope said.

"What?"

"Well, that's what my mother taught me."

"Whatever it is, I'm po-po-sure it will be worth the w-w-wait." Porky said.

"I have to agree with you there." Daffy added.

"We'll find out soon enough." Lola said.

"But it's bound to go wrong." Jessica complained.

"What?" Bugs asked.

"It always does for Wile E."

"What do you mean?" Daffy asked.

"ACME opening, whenever he chases Roadrunner, when he tried to catch my dad…"

"Is that all?"

"I'm only half-way through the list." Zach giggled under his breath.

"Wile E just has a severe run of bad luck."

"Exactly."

"I have to agree. Wile E pretty much always ends up getting hurt whenever he does anything." Bugs added.

"There, I rest my case."

"Jess, try and have a little faith." Tweety said.

"While we agree that he has very bad luck, he is intelligent and whatever he's been making has to be special. Try and have a little faith." Aaooga added.

"Ok, I'll try." Jessica replied.

"Everyone, Wile E, I say, Wile E is about to come out." Foghorn interrupted.

Everyone turned their attention to the front, where the curtain was. Wile E had stepped out from behind the curtain along with Calamite Coyote. They were both dressed in lab outfits, which were covered in oil. They looked like they had just come from a garage. Wile E was holding a handheld microphone in his right hand while Calamite had a clipboard in his hand.

"Everyone, we apologise for the delay but we had to do some last minute check on the device." Wile E began. The audience gave him and Calamite their full attention. Rocky and Mugsy were still hiding behind the pillar, waiting for their moment to steal the device, whatever it was.

"So, what is this device you've made?" Daffy asked.

"I'm glad you asked." Calamite pulled out a small remote and pressed a button and the curtain behind them opened. Everyone gaped in awe at what they saw. Behind the curtain was a huge blue archway with what looked like a ray gun on top. The whole device was shining ad electricity was shooting around the device. It reached the top of the room, which was about 10 metres high.

"Wow." Lola exclaimed.

"Amazing." Jessica added.

"Nice." Daffy muttered.

"Cool." Zach exclaimed

"Sufferin' succotash!" Sylvester said.

"Wow, why so big?" Tweety asked.

"Why do earth creatures build such oversized devices?" Marvin asked himself.

"What is it?" Elmer Fudd asked.

"This is our newest invention, a time machine." Wile E replied.

"A time machine?" Bugs asked.

"Yes. It is capable of taking a large group of people to any time period that we want."

"So, what good is it?" Jessica asked.

"Discovering the past, solving mysteries, the possibilities are endless."

"Do you plan to make history lessons more interesting then?"

"Perhaps."

"Let me guess, you brought us here so we could test it as a group." Sylvester said.

"I did indeed."

"How are we going to test it?" Zach asked.

"We'll all pick a time period and see if we can get there."

"And we can definitely get back."

"Of course."

"What will you do with this device then?" Elmer Fudd asked.

"I'll have to decide."

"But you won't be the ones who will make that choice." A voice from the back said. Everyone turned and looked. Rocky and Mugsy had come out from behind the pillar. Rocky was holding a pistol and pointing it at everyone.

"Oh, it's you two." Bugs muttered, rather unconcerned about their presence.

"What do you want?" Lola asked.

"We want that device. We can do it the easy way or the hard way." Rocky replied.

"Come on, let's do it the hard way." Mugsy pleaded.

"Shut up."

"Look doc, how do you plan on moving this?" Bugs asked.

"None of your business. Now hand the device over."

"That's not for me to decide."

"Hand it over!" Rocky fired a warning shot from his pistol. The sudden bang made Calamite jump. He accidentally activated the time machine. The machine powered up and then fired a white ray at the crowd. Everyone other than Calamite Coyote was caught in the ray and completely trapped. Calamite tried to shut the device down but the bullet fired from Mugsy had damaged it. It no longer responded to the commands. The archway of the device began flashing and generated a screen of energy. The energy ray that had entrapped everyone began pulling them towards the screen of energy. Before Calamite could do anything, the ray had pulled everyone into the energy screen. There was a sudden white flash and everyone had disappeared. Calamite Coyote was the only person left in the room. He had a look at the device and smelt it. The device had burnt out from dragging everyone into the device. Calamite had to repair it and bring everyone back, but as the device was down, there was no way of telling where they were.

A/N: Well, that's the first chapter. The main western stuff will begin next chapter. Please review. Oh, and on a side note, I intend to give each of the toons a western style skill (i.e. whip user, gunslinger, knife thrower) but I'm having difficulty deciding who should have what and I'd appreciate any suggestions. I know what Jess will do already.
