Chapter 3: Knowing the Strength of a Woman

It was the next morning and the sun was just rising in the streets of Looney York City. The sun shone in the window of Bugs' room and it opened the strong rabbit's eyes slowly. He was nearly startled when he saw Sylvester walk in.

"Mornin', Bugs." Sylvester greeted.

"Mornin', Sly." Bugs greeted back.

"You still a little nervous about asking Lola questions?"

"Yeah, a little."

"Well, I'll go and wake up Daffy while you wake up Lola. I'm gonna cook breakfast when I wake him."

"A'ight." Bugs sat up and slipped on his boxers and night vest before he walked next door to Lola's bedroom. When he walked in, she was still sleeping with an adorable smile on her face. He smiled with affection as he walked up to her and shook her a little. "Hey, do… I mean, Lola."

Lola slowly opened her beautiful eyes as she spoke.

"Hey, Bugs." She greeted back. "What were you about to say before you said my name?"

"I was gonna say… uh… um…"

"Yeah?" Lola sat up as she said this.

"…uh…doll?"

"WHAT!"

"I… gaack!" Bugs was strangled by his neck in Lola's tight grip while she was standing up on the bed. Daffy and Sylvester heard this and walked in to see what was going on. Daffy busted out laughing while Sylvester walked up to the two rabbits. "Sylvester…!"

"Did I forget to mention that she hates being called 'doll'?" Sylvester asked.

"Damn… man… ugh! Why… unh… didn't you… gyahh… tell me that shit… urk… before!"

"Slipped my mind, I guess. But now, you know."

"………GYAHHHHHH! Okay, okay! I'm sorry!" As Lola heard this she smiled with satisfaction before she finally released Bugs from her clutches, having him land on his feet safely next to Daffy, who was still laughing. Bugs started chuckling to himself as he dusted himself off. "I was only jokin', Lola. I was really gonna say that I was about to call you 'doc'."

"Well, next time, make you joke worth laughing at! Okay?" Lola demanded, making Bugs nervous.

"Okay." Those were his last words before his nervousness made his boxers fall to his ankles. This made Daffy stop his laughter while Sylvester went wide eyed and Lola just looked down with a smile.

"Looks like you got a solider worth tasting." She muttered seductively as she left the room. Daffy and Sylvester jeered as they left after her, having Bugs scoffing to himself as he left as well.

On his way to the kitchen, Daffy stopped in his tracks and ran back to Bugs, who was taking his time walking.

"WOOOOOO HOOOO HOOOO! That was too funny, Bugs!" He exclaimed. "You were so nervous that your shorts fell off, showin' your dick!"

"Don't push it, Daff!" Bugs exclaimed back, trying to calm down.

"Hey, Bugs. Calm down, man. Like the sheriff said, watch it with Lola. She can be one… tough… bitch."

"I'll keep that in mind, thank you. But like I said, I don't think she could be that bad."

"Just keep sayin' that shit! You'll wish you've never said it more than once."

"Shut up!" Those were Bugs' last words before he walked downstairs, leaving Daffy standing at the very top of the steps with puzzlement.

"Just tryin' to prove my damn point." He said to himself before he went downstairs.

Later, at around 10:30 am at the LYC Concrete Basketball Court…

"Damn, it feels good out here!" Sylvester exclaimed as he took off his white tank top and plopped it on a bench while picking up a basketball. "Makes you wanna…"

"Don't go there, Sly." Bugs interrupted as he sat down on a bench near the court. He was dressed in a brown t-shirt with blue baggy jeans. Daffy walked by dressed in a yellow tank top, red fingerless gloves, and orange jeans. "Just play your game."

"Hey, I have dibs on the ball first!" Daffy called, snatching the ball from Sylvester. "Let's see ya beat me this time."

While the game was on, Lola walked up to Bugs and sat next to him. He looked over at her and grew wide eyed at her outfit. She was wearing a purple tank top with blue shorts, showing her 'legs of a goddess'. Lola looked over at him and grew puzzled as he was looking down at her legs.

"Bugs?" She spoke. Bugs immediately snapped out of it before looked up at her. "You okay?"

"…yeah. I'm okay, doc." Bugs replied. Lola giggled. "What?"

"I just realized something…"

"………………"

"…you're pretty cute!" Lola got up and sat in his lap with her legs around his waist. "How about you take off that shirt, baby?"

Bugs just did his signature smile as he slowly took off his shirt, showing his strong muscles. Lola purred silently as she stroked both of her slender gloved hands against them, making his eyes flutter with clentched teeth. Lola was enjoying this as she leaned foreward closer to his face.

"Is it too much for you, Bugsy?" She asked seductively. Bugs couldn't open his eyes. The sensation was too much.

While this was going on, Daffy and Sylvester paused their game and looked at the two rabbits. Sylvester smiled with Daffy grew disgusted.

"Already?" Daffy asked annoyingly. Sylvester chuckled.

"Well, it looks that way…" He replied before a loud roar cut him off. "…or maybe not."

The same roar was heard again as footsteps were apporaching with it. This made Bugs sit up with alert before he stopped Lola for a minute.

"What is it, Bugs?" Lola asked. Bugs looked behind him and sighed with relief.

"It's only Taz." He replied. After that comment, Taz did appear from the bushes behinf Bugs and Lola. He was a huge, Gorilla-sized, and extremely muscular tasmanian devil wearing a really big pair of black baggy jeans with his short brown tail behind it. "Don't be scarin' my ass like that, doc!"

"Sorry." Taz growled as he sat like a dog… almost. Lola did a small smile as she was looking at the large tasmanian devil.

"Hey, Taz." She greeted. "My name is Lola Bunny."

Taz just roared with passion as he got up on his two feet and pounded his chest with his large fists with fury. Bugs chuckled as Daffy and Sylvester walked up to the three.

"Well, Taz!" Daffy exclaimed. "Haven't seen you in a damn while! Where ya been?"

"Grrrraaafugivhftealsjdpla!" Taz grunted in response. Bugs allowed Lola to get off of his lap as he stood up.

"What the fuck!" He exclaimed. "How did that happen!"

"Grakveoanoaihieoda."

"Oh, hell no!"

"What?" Sylvester asked, since he was the only one that couldn't understand Taz's language. Bugs turned to face Daffy, Lola, and Sylvester.

"They went and got Taz to retire from his show business early!"

"WHAT?" Daffy and Sylvester screamed as Lola remained shocked and speechless.

"What did he do?" Lola asked. Taz frowned in response. Bugs noticed.

"Don't tell me you released your wild side." He muttered. Taz nodded. "Shit!"

"Aw, poor Taz." Daffy whined. "I feel sorry for ya, man."

"Taz feel same way." Taz agreed as he walked like a gorilla towards the court, heading towards Sylvester's basketball and picking it up. This confused the other four.

"Taz, you okay?" Bugs asked with concern. Taz didn't reply as he walked back up to the group and handed the ball to Lola. This puzzled her for a minute, then she realized.

"Ohhhhhhh, I get what he's trying to say." She started. "Remember Sylvester told you that I can play basketball like a pro?"

"Yeah." Bugs replied quickly. "I'll play ya. First one to 5 points wins."

"You're on… baby." She sexually walked onto the court, making Bugs stare at her butt for a moment. She noticed and looked over her shoulder with a seductive smile. "You're coming?"

"Huh?" Babbled Bugs as he snapped out of it. "Yeah… yeah. I'm comin'. Damn, her ass looks good." As he was walking into the court with Lola, Taz just sat like a dog again while Daffy and Sylvester sat beside him.

"There he goes. He's gettin' his confidence back." Daffy muttered. "Just like back in the day."

"Yeah." Sylvester agreed. "I think he's in love."

"Hmm?" Taz asked, looking down at the black and white cat.

"I think Bugs is in love with Lola. He just doesn't show it right now."

"Arrrrgava."

Meanwhile, on the court…

Lola was dribbling the ball while Bugs was standing in front of her, ready to steal the ball. He showed a cool smile as she smiled back.

"Don't think you'll get me that easily, cutie." She protested seductively. "Stare at me again… I dare you."

"Don't test me, girl!" Bugs joked.

"Psyche!" Lola dodged really fast past Bugs, but he was able to catch up. She was almost towards the basket, but Bugs was able to stop her and make a cute smile at her. She froze. "Oooh."

"What's up, baby?" Bugs was able to steal the ball from her as she was dazed. Taz saw this and started thinking to himself by rubbing the bottom of his chin. He did suspect some feelings from Bugs and Lola. He just needed to wait until the right moment.

Back to the game, Lola finally regained her attention and ran after the gray rabbit, but by the time she made it up to him, he already made a spinning slam dunk and dropping to his feet. She applauded for him.

"Okay, so you got some sweet moves." She commented. "Let's see you try to steal it from me this time."

"Okay, baby." Bugs replied. "Or should I say… doc."

Lola froze at the 'doc' part and started taking one hand and rub her right thigh slowly. Bugs didn't notice, but Taz, again, did. He suspected something when he saw this, but he still kept his growling mouth shut. After 5 minutes, Bugs finally realized what was taking Lola so long and he turned around to look at her.

"Lola, what's wrong?" He asked her. She didn't reply. She felt the same tingle in her ears now and one hand made to her ears and she started playing with them, trying to get the feeling out of her. Since she had her eyes closed, she didn't notice the other 4 boys staring at her. Daffy was wide eyed, Sylvester was just silent, Taz increased hin observant thinking, and Bugs... well, you figure it out. He walked up to her and looked suspicious. He looked down at her leg she was rubbing and raised an eyebrow in wonder. He looked back up at her face and noticed her closed eyes. When he heard a deep moan escape from her closed mouth, he took a step back. He then dropped to his knees and held his head in agony. When he heard Lola moan again, he looked up at her with his hands on his head and she looked down at him with relief and confusion. He sighed with relief as he looked up at her on one knee. "You okay, girl?"

"Yeah." Lola replied. "It's just… the word 'doc'. It really made me get a sensational feeling in my legs and ears, like I feel as though I enjoyed it."

"Well, let's pretend that bullshit didn't happen and let's continue our game. We're at matchpoint… 4 to 4. Let's see who'll win." Bugs got up on his feet completely and picked up the basketball. "Ready?"

Back at the benches…

Daffy was still staring with wide eyes as the game resumed smoothly. Sylvester snapped out of it while Taz was still in his thinking mode.

"What the fuck was that shit all about?" He asked himself. "Taz, do you know?" Taz was still thinking, but he replied with a nod. Sylvester ended up scratching his head in wonder. "Damn! I knew there was some passionate shit goin' on between those rabbits. Whatever that shit was, it was confusin', but it's over. Taz, you thinkin' about this, right?" Taz nodded again. "Good. Keep thinkin'. Somethin' might come up between those two."

Back on the court…

Lola had possesion of the ball again as Bugs was trying to block her from behind. She was looking back at him over her shoulder with a sly smile.

"You're just prepared for these surprises, aren't you?" She asked. Bugs chuckled with shyness.

"C'mon, girl!" He pleaded playfully. "Don't make me go hard on ya!"

"I wish you would." She was ready to try and score, but her foot accidently slipped and they froze, having Lola lose the ball. "What the…?"

"Holy shit!"

"What's wrong now?" Daffy finally spoke after a stunned silence. Bugs looked at the crew from where he was standing and grew wide eyed as Lola tried to move. "Oooooh, Sylvester! Look at this shit!"

"What?" Sylvester asked as he looked at the rabbits. He went totally crazy as he stood up. "Oh, fuck no! Lola got her ass on your…"

"Don't say it!" Bugs yelled in the distance. "Please! It's not a very good feeling right now and… LOLA, DON'T YOU DARE MOVE!"

"Sorry." Lola apologized as she immediately froze in her position. "I get used to positions like this anyway."

"Fo' real?"

"Yeah. I don't mean to brag, but I'm one sexy girl when it comes to doin' this…" After that, she stood up slowly and slowly started grinding her butt on his crotch sexually. Bugs went wide eyed for a moment, then savored the feeling when she lowered herself a little. This disgusted Daffy as he tried to look away while Taz stopped his thinking for a moment and froze with amazement. Sylvester was still standing in front of the two boys, but then, crossed his arms with disappoinment.

"That's just bullshit right there." He said to himself. "Daffy, what happened?"

"Huh? What?" Daffy blurted out before he looked up at the angry cat. "What did ya say, man?"

"I said, what happened?"

"Good question. I mean, one minute, Bugs is actin' all shy and witty around Lola because of the 'doc' shit. The next thing you know, he's lettin' her do a standin' lap dance on him. What the fuck is up with that, man!"

"Rrrrrraguahlafeaokfjso!" Taz replied as he stood on his gorilla position. Sylvester looked at the big tasmanian devil with shock.

"Really!" He asked. Taz nodded. "How in the hell do you know!"

"Taz know everything."

"That's right. You DO know everything… everything people don't wanna talk about, but you. This is a fact, isn't it?"

"Mm-hm."

"Damn… no wonder."

"No wonder what?" Daffy asked.

"Lola's a performer at a nightclub not too far from here… and she seems like one of those sexy ones that just lure some drunk boys into her seductive trance of love."

"WHOA! Are you sure!"

"Yeah. Taz knows everything… remember?"

"Oh… yeah. Shit!"

10 minutes later…

"Well, goddamn!" Daffy muttered while he was eating his fried fish platter. The four of them were at Toni's Seafood Bar & Grill for their lunch. Bugs and Lola had fresh tossed salads with fat free french dressing while Taz had the Monster Lobster platter and Sylvester had 10 salmon cakes with hot sauce. "What an al-fresco moment that was!"

"And the funny part was that we all noticed it coming any moment." Sylvester replied, cutting a piece of a salmon cake. "You two could've ended up fuckin' each other by now."

"Shut up!" Bugs exclaimed after he swallowed a piece of his salad. "It was just a mistake, alright!"

"Okay, okay. No need to yell. At least, we had Taz here… otherwise, you'll never know the surprisin' fact I missed while I was tellin' ya about Lola."

"Oh, really? Which fact was that?"

"Think about it… you just witnessed some sexual shit from Lola here. What fact do you think?"

"…………oh, hell no!"

"You found out?"

"Yeah! She's a… a…"

"Nightclub performer." Lola finished confidently, keeping her eyes focused on her salad. Bugs looked at her with wide, but surprised eyes. "I've been having that job for over 4 years now and… well… I'm a pro now."

"Daaaaaamn! Talk about sexy, doc!"

"Thanks."

"When do you usually do yo' thing?"

"Every night, except Sundays."

"Cool. You don't get tired, do ya?"

"No, not really. I did at first, but then after my first two years, I got used to it for good."

"Alright. Now, Sly, did you say Taz knew all this beforehand?"

"Yeah. Remember his only phrase?" Sylvester replied. Bugs nodded.

"Yeah. Taz knows everything. Ain't dat right, Tazzy?"

"Yep." Taz replied, sitting back in his chair while patting his strong stomach before he let out a loud belch. Daffy looked at him with disgust.

"You ate all that already?" He asked surprisingly. "Damn!"

"Heh, heh! Lola, I forgot to tell ya one thing about Taz and his monster-ass appetite…" Bugs whispered.

"What?" Lola asked.

"He eats things so fast, you'll be shot by the time he finishes."

"Wow. Are you serious?"

"Yeah. He has a big, fast appetite… especially when it comes to eatin' some gourmet from a seafood joint."

"Shit!"

Later, at the Looney York City Park…

Bugs, Daffy, Lola, and Taz were just strolling through the park's path, talking, laughing, and having a good time. They did see some familiar faces along the way.

"Hey, look! There's Wile E. and Pepe!" Daffy exclaimed as he saw a muscular brown coyote wearing a white t-shirt and blue jean shorts sitting next to a muscular black and white skunk wearing a turquoise tank top and purple jeans. The four walked up to the two.

"Well, well, well." Wile E. started in his expert-like deep male voice. "It's been a while since we've seen this: Bugs standing next to a girl without being smacked like hell."

"Oh, don't rub it in." Bugs declared. "This is Lola Bunny, doc."

"Oh, she's returned from her global trip with Penelope. Do you know where she is?" Pepe asked in his not-too-French-accented hansome voice. Lola nodded.

"Yeah. She's back at her house. Why?" She asked. Pepe stood up as he straightened out his pants.

"I've gotta ask her out again."

"Pepe, you know damn well that Peneplope said 'no' to you for about 10 times. Maybe it's your stinky-ass smell you be emittin' from yo' tail." Bugs protested while covering his pink nose. "She ain't gonna go wit you, doc."

"Well, she's gonna have to get used to it sooner or later." After that, the anxious skunk left, making Wile E. shake his head with dismay.

"He'll figure it out. Now, I can see why Lola was the girl that didn't flinch at you. Sylvester told me that she's the only girl that doesn't mind the word 'doc'." He spoke in his expert manner. Sylvester nodded with dilegence."

"Yep. That's EXACTLY what I told his ass." He agreed. "He still looked damn nervous, though."

"Why? Lola's a babe."

"I know, but it's the fact that Lola's a… nightclub dancer."

"I forgot about that. Did she show him anything?"

"Oh, yeah."

Taz nodded in agreement, but then, froze with fear. He started to shake very awkwardly before he stopped and slowly stood on his two feet for better viewing… and making him taller than a great dane on his hind legs. This puzzled everybody around him.

"Taz, what's wrong?" Lola asked with concern. She looked over in his direction and looked puzzled. "Who the hell are they?"

"Who?" Daffy asked, looking in the tan rabbit's direction. She pointed to where she was looking and he looked in the direction again. He then began to go wide eyed. "OH, NO! RUN!"

Everybody did so, having Taz galloping like a gorilla alongside the group. Since Lola was new to this, she was wondering why she had to run.

"Bugs, why are we running… or better yet, who are we running from?" She asked in wonder. Bugs didn't make eye contact, but spoke anyway.

"You mean… you don't know?" He replied. Lola shook her head. "Ever heard of a crazy-ass thug named Yosemite Sam?"

"Oh… crap."

The group continued running towards Bugs' hideout hole in the middle of the park, having Bugs catching up with Sylvester, who was up front. Taz heard gunshots and started to panic as he increased his speed, putting Lola, Daffy, and Wile E. on his back, as he caught up with Bugs and Sylvester by the time they made it to the hole. Bugs quickly opened the door to the hideaway and he allowed everybody to jump inside. Since Taz couldn't fit, he pounded the area he was standing and a larger hole formed under him, making him fall in before Bugs jumped in last in his hole and quickly locked the door.

"Okay, we're safe." He pleaded silently as 5 pairs of eyes were moving around in the dark. "That Yosemite Sam can be one crazy-ass bastard."

"He be shootin' everybody, don't he?" Daffy asked in a panic attack tone. "I don't want my feathered ass kicked and shot."

"Just… calm down. He'll never find us once Wile E. camaflauges the door to the hole."

"As usual." Wile E. added as he pressed a button and a whirr was heard. That made everybody sigh with relief. "Well, at least the moment's gone. There's just one problem…"

"What?" Sylvester asked.

"Somebody forgot to turn on the light before I activated the camaflauge. Now, we'll be in the dark until the coast in clear."

"Aw, fuck!" Daffy yelled. "Thanks a lot, Bugs."

"Don't mention it, doc. Well, being in the dark ain't the worst thing that can happen, right?"

"Mm-hm." Taz replied as he sat again. Lola placed a hand somewhere for support, but since she couldn't see what it was, she disregarded it as she spoke.

"I agree, too." She said. "So, when is the coast clear?"

"When you hear Yosemite curse himself out for wastin' his time lookin' for us again." Daffy replied humorously. Sylvester shook his head with annoyance.

"It gets annoying hearin' his stupid ass." He said to himself. Bugs' eyes went wide as he finally realized where Lola's disregarding hand was and he looked at her.

"Lola?" He started.

"Yeah?" Lola asked back.

"Do you have any idea where your hand is?"

"That's what I'm disregarding right now. I really don't care."

"But, I do."

"Huh?"

"Your hand is on my…"

"What?"

"…squeeze your hand where it is."

"Why? Is it some kinda game you're tryin' to…" She stopped talking for a moment when she realized what she was squeezing and smiled. "…oooh."

"See?"

"Oh, hell yeah. Mmmmmmm!"

"Lola?"

"Huh?"

"Stop."

"Sorry." Lola finally removed her hand from where it was and blushed, even though nobody could see it.

"I hate it when she does that, doc."

"You started it when ya'll were playin' some basketball." Daffy pleaded.

"Shut up!"

By now, it was all silent until they finally heard a voice from above them. Wile E. was the only one that looked up, observing the footsteps along with it. When he heard footsteps leaving, he turned off the camaflauge and opened the door.

"We're clear." He announced. Taz sighed in his roar as he walked over to his hole and climbed out while everybody else exited as well. "That didn't last too long."

"Maybe he gave up really quick… like he's stupid." Sylvester guessed.

"Maybe, but we'll never know…" Before he could finish, a gunshot was heard, nearly hitting his tail. "…until the crazy bastard shoots."

"So, that's where you mothafuckin' critters be hidin'… includin' the dumb blonde bunny!" He yelled in their faces. Lola was fuming inside after that insult. The boys noticed and took a step back away from her as she spoke.

"What did you call me!" She yelled back as she stomped up to him. "Did you just call me a dumb blonde!"

"What's it to you, doll!"

"Bitch." After that insult, she kicked him in the crotch hard, making him drop his pistols in pain. She looked down at him when he was on the grass and her feet was between his pistols. "Sam?"

"What!" Then, he gasped when he realized what was going on.

"You want your guns?"

"Uh…"

"Do ya?"

"Don't…"

"Huh?"

"Stop!"

"Ya want 'em?"

"Y… y…"

"Do ya, cutie?" She slowly kneeled down towards the pistols and took one from the grass and pointed it at Sam. "Don't make me do this."

"Please, please! Don't shoot me! DON'T SHOOT ME! I give-I give-I GIVE!"

Lola lowered the gun as she showed a seductive smile. As she stood up, Sam made a dash for it as she turned back towards the boys. They were speechless as they watched Sam over her shoulder. He ran into a tree on his way and fell backwards before he quickly got back up and continued on his way. This made Lola giggle on her way towards the boys.

"Girls do get jealous because of something like that coming from a sexy woman like me." She said randomly.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!" Sylvester, Daffy, Bugs, and Wile E. exclaimed in unison while Taz smiled with drool coming out of his mouth. This made the tan rabbit shake her head with humor.

"Boys."

Later, back at Sylvester's Mansion after dinner…

"I feel like goin' to a club tonight." Daffy randomly spat out after a good dinner. Lola lifted her head immediately at that comment.

"Say what?" She asked. "Did he say…"

"He wants to go to a club tonight and get his groove on." Bugs replied.

"Oh. We're going, but we're going to the club where I perform. I want ya'll to see me…"

"Shake yo' ass? Yeah."

"Bugs…"

"Hey, what can I say?"

"That you're a complete retard." Daffy joked. "Can we go and see ya work it?"

"As long as Bugs doesn't get front row seats." Lola replied.

"What about Taz?" Taz asked. "Me wanna go!"

"Don't wreck anything."

"Taz won't. Me promise."

"Good boy. Bugs, can I talk to you for a second?" Lola got up from her seat and took the gray rabbit's hand, leading him to the kitchen. "I wanna do a dare with you after my show."

"Any dare I wish?" Bugs asked.

"Yeah."

"Okay. Um…" Bugs thought for a moment. Then, lightbulb appeared above his head after 2 minutes. "…you can do whatever you want with me."

"Deal."

To be continued…
