Chapter 10: "Goin' Back to the Basics Part 1"
A/N: Welcome back to the Sailor Space Jam, ladies and gentlemen! After an evening that consisted of a nice and quiet date with Haruka and Michiru, a workout session with the MonStars and an interesting meeting with Bugs Bunny (playing the role of "Master Bugs"), Bupkus, Haruka and Michiru, the Tune Squad is going to engage in their first basketball training session, but the Looney Tunes characters have to find a way of bringing Jimmy Butler into Looney Tune Land with the hopes that he could not only train them for the Ultimate Game, but also play for their basketball team. Meanwhile, the MonStars and the Sailor Guardians are going to engage in their own training session for the Ultimate Game, which should lead to the awakening of the MonStars' basketball skills from within. However, the Witches 5 return in this chapter and become aware of what the Tune Squad has in store for the Ultimate Game, so they decide to make their presence known. How will the first training session between the MonStars and the Sailor Guardians go down? How are Wile E. Coyote and Bugs Bunny going to bring Jimmy Butler into Looney Tune Land? Well, let's "toon" back into the story and find out, folks!

KidsWBYungsta Presents Looney Tunes & Sailor Moon: Sailor Space Jam! – Chapter 10: Goin' Back to the Basics Part 1
Date: Friday, November 4, 2016 – Entrance and Third Floor of The Charles M. Jones Grand Hotel – Looney Tune Land, Animation Multiverse
After Bupkus and Michiru engaged on their walk under the night sky on the Warner Bros. Boardwalk, Bupkus decided to lead Michiru to the Charles M. Jones Grand Hotel, so she could walk up to the room where her fellow Sailor Guardians were staying in. While Bupkus was walking Michiru to her room, Bugs and Lola were watching the two from afar in the lobby, exchanging surprised looks between themselves as Lola said, "Bugs, are you seeing what I'm seeing right now?"
Bugs nodded his head and smirked in response as he said, "You mean, the fact that Bupkus and Michiru are actually walking into this hotel and having a good-natured conversation without anybody—and, mind you, I mean anybody—batting an eyelid or spreading some kind of rumor that could cause a mass amount of turmoil within the Tune Squad?"
"Yeah ... that's exactly what I'm talking about," Lola said as she lightly nodded her head in response.
Suddenly, as if right out of the blue, Daffy Duck popped into the lobby and added, "Wow ... I guess this might go well after all. I had actually underestimated you for a moment, Bugsy."
Daffy's random appearance ended up surprising the two rabbits as Bugs said, "Daffy, where did you come from?"
"Where were you in the previous chapter anyway?" Lola asked while raising a suspicious eyebrow at the duck.
"First of all: I just came from the studio commissary on the Warner Bros. lot; second of all: I was minding my own business," Daffy said, switching from a smirk to a look of annoyance as he addressed Bugs and Lola. "Anyway, why are you two in here anyway? Don't you two rabbits live in your own houses?"
"Obviously, Daffy," Bugs said while rolling his eyes. "We just wanted to make sure that nothing bad was going to happen to Bupkus or Michiru tonight. Besides, the MonStars and Sailor Guardians are going to have their first training session tomorrow ... and I don't want any trauma or turmoil to spill into that first session."
Daffy could only sigh and roll his eyes as he said, "Bugs, will you get off of that kick already? Nothing is going to go awry for the rest of this evening! Besides, knowing Bupkus and Michiru, I'm sure they just have a friendly mini-conversation, give each other a peck on the cheek and leave it at that until tomorrow morning!"
Bugs and Lola could only turn and exchange confused looks with each other as Lola rolled her eyes and said to Daffy, "You didn't have to go that far, Daffy. You know that, right?"
Daffy could only sigh heatedly as he said in a low, yet slightly-audible voice, "You're unspeakably despicable, you know."
Lola just shrugged her shoulders and smirked at the duck as she said, "Eh ... ain't I a stinker?"
"Eh, that's my line, Lola," Bugs said in a playful tone as he took a bite of his carrot.
Meanwhile, Bupkus and Michiru had made their way to the room where the Sailor Guardians were going to be staying in—thanks to some coercing through the hands of Babs and Buster Bunny—and they stopped at the door to the room as Michiru said with a warm smile, "Hey, Bupkus, thanks for walking me to the hotel."
Bupkus blushed in response as he chuckled and said, "Aw, it was nothing, Michiru. I mean, it was the least I could do."
Michiru also blushed in response to Bupkus' comment as she cleared her throat and said, "Hey, Bupkus ... even though we won't be in a relationship, do you think we could still be friends for the time being?"
"You mean ... even after what happens in this Ultimate Game against the Witches 5?" Bupkus asked with a light smirk while raising an eyebrow.
"Well, of course," Michiru said while winking her eye at the purple MonStar.
Bupkus smiled warmly as he said, "Sure thing, Michiru. Before you walk into the room to catch up with your friends, I've got something to show you."
"Really? What is it?" Michiru said in an interested tone.
"Just close your eyes and hold out your hands," Bupkus said with a smile.
Michiru held out her hands while closing her eyes as Bupkus placed a bouquet of purple roses with a note attached to it. Once he placed the bouquet into Michiru's hands, Bupkus smiled warmly as he said, "Okay, Michiru, you can open your eyes now."
Once Michiru opened her eyes to see the gift Bupkus had given her, she gasped and smiled in amazement as she rushed up to hug Bupkus and say to the purple MonStar, "Oh, my gosh! Bupkus, this is so sweet!"
"I knew you would like it, Michiru," Bupkus said as he smiled warmly at Michiru.
Michiru sniffed the purple roses and looked at Bupkus, saying with a smile, "Wow ... Bupkus, these smell beautiful!"
"Thanks, Michiru," Bupkus said while nodding his head. "I actually got it from the best flower spot in Looney Tune Land: Granny's Flower Emporium."
"Wow, that's nice," Michiru said as she then hugged Bupkus. "Thank you, Bupkus, this is one of the nicest things anyone's ever given me."
"Really? What are the other ones?" Bupkus asked with a playful smirk.
Michiru blushed for a bit as she looked up at the purple MonStar and said, "Well ... most of them came from Haruka. Some of them were beautiful, some was more ... intimate, to say the least."
As if right on cue, Yakko Warner popped in from out of nowhere and blew a kiss to the audience as he said, "Goodnight, everybody!"
Unfazed by the random appearance from the oldest and snarkiest of the Warner Siblings, Bupkus and Michiru continued their friendly conversation with Bupkus saying, "Anyway, I'm sure some of the gifts Haruka gave you over the years were the most-beautiful moments of your life."
Michiru smiled warmly and blushed a bit as she said, "Aww, thanks, Bupkus. Well, I guess I better go ahead and catch up with the girls before they start raising questions among themselves."
"Alright then," Bupkus said as he and Michiru hugged each other. "Good night, Michiru, I'll see you and the girls in the morning."
"Good night, Bupkus," Michiru said with a smile. "Same thing for you and the other MonStars."
After their friendly conversation and their hug, Michiru then walked into the hotel room of the Sailor Guardians as Bupkus left the Charles M. Jones Grand Hotel to catch up with his fellow MonStars, who were already at the Futuristic House of Warners' Friday preparing for their first training session with the Sailor Guardians.
Once Michiru walked into the room, she noticed that most of the Sailor Guardians were already asleep, so she tried to walk through as quietly as she could without drawing any unneeded attention towards herself. As she laid the flowers and note on her nightstand, Haruka slowly woke up from her slumber as she heard Michiru lay her gift down. Once Michiru walked into the bathroom to freshen herself up before she laid down, Haruka decided to take a look at her gift from Bupkus. As she took a look at the purple roses, she noticed a little note falling from the bouquet. Curious as to what the note said, she decided to take a look at the note and was amazed at what it said:
"My dearest Sailor Neptune,
This is my little note to say 'Thank you' for being such a wonderful friend and thanks for your compliment in regards to my beautiful voice. I apologize in advance if I caused any problems between you and Sailor Uranus because of my true feelings being revealed during our session with Master Bugs the other night.
Hopefully, I could make it up to you in some way, shape or form. Maybe you and I could hang out together, just you and me, without the other MonStars, the Looney Tunes or the other Sailor Guardians. Maybe you could see if you could bring Sailor Mini-Moon and Sailor Saturn along with you as company. I feel they could be great bodyguards for the both of us without distractions from the citizens of Looney Tune Land—especially the Warner Brothers and the Warner Sister because you know how wacky those three could be.
One day before the Ultimate Game, maybe you could meet me in the park before sunset, along with Sailor Mini-Moon and Sailor Saturn, so we could spend some time together. I think it would be best if we kept this 'relationship' a secret from Sailor Uranus because I don't want to bring any unnecessary drama to our teammates before our Ultimate Game against the Witches 5 – and I don't want to ruin my newfound friendship with Sailor Uranus in the process because she seems like a pretty cool girl like you ...
Lots of love,
Bupkus."
After reading the note, Haruka blushed for a bit, then gave a small smile as she became aware of Bupkus' true feelings for her girlfriend. She then thought to herself, "Wow ... I guess there was more to Bupkus than I realized when the girls and I first met him. Who knew he was such a sensitive and caring guy?"
Suddenly, she heard Michiru finish freshening herself up in the bathroom, so she decided to stick the note back into the bouquet and place the bouquet of roses back onto the nightstand as she quickly went back to sleep once Michiru exited the bathroom and got close to where she was sleeping. Michiru noticed how quickly Haruka went back to sleep as she said to herself with a smirk, "Hmm ... I guess Haruka took notice of my gift from Bupkus and she's trying to play it off by going back to sleep."
Michiru could only giggle to herself as she got into the same bed as Haruka, while thinking to herself, "Don't worry, Haruka, Bupkus and I are not in a serious relationship. We're just going to be friends for the time being."
Date: Saturday, November 5, 2016 – Third Floor of The Charles M. Jones Grand Hotel – Looney Tune Land, Animation Multiverse
As the morning sun was rising and shining over Looney Tune Land—after some coaxing from Foghorn Leghorn, that is—and the Looney Tunes were preparing for their first basketball training session with Jimmy Butler, the Sailor Guardians were at the Charles M. Jones Grand Hotel, still sleeping like angels after the events from the previous evening. Haruka and Michiru had arrived in the hotel moments later after Bupkus walked Michiru up to the hotel to meet up with Haruka, all while Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes were making some preparations for Jimmy Butler's arrival in Looney Tune Land today. While the girls were all sleeping away, Bugs, Lola and Daffy quietly opened the door and peeked inside the room where the girls were staying. As Bugs, Lola and Daffy surveyed the scene, Bugs whispered to his two fellow Looney Tunes, "You see that, guys? It looks like the girls are sleeping like little angels."
"They're just so peaceful when they're snuggled in bed like that," Lola said with a light smile.
"Y'know, it would be such a catastrophe if something was to disturb this serene scene ..." Daffy said in a somber tone as a devious smirk appeared on his face.
Just as a devious smirk appeared on Daffy's face, similar smirks appeared on the faces of Bugs and Lola Bunny as the three Looney Tunes pulled out trumpets from hammerspace and started playing loud notes in the room, startling the Sailor Guardians in the room as they all jumped up in shock and fell out of their beds ... while Usagi took it one step further and fell out of her bed on her own head! While Usagi was rubbing her head, she could only mutter in an annoyed tone while lightly groaning, "I thought the old 'clumsy crybaby Usagi' thing was getting old after five seasons of our Sailor Moon anime. I guess I was wrong. I really need to talk to the writers of this fanfiction about this ..."
"I hope you appreciate the wake-up call, ladies!" Daffy said with a smirk while holding back his laughter, much to the annoyance of the Sailor Guardians.
Rei rubbed her eyes and glared at Bugs as she walked up to the rabbit and said with a slight growl, "Bugs, I hope you have a good reason for why you, Lola and Daffy decided to wake us up early this morning."
"Oh, come now, Rei. Did you suddenly experience a case of short-term memory loss or something?" Bugs said in a half-incredulous, half-sarcastic tone. "You girls are going to have your first practice session with the MonStars today!"
"Huh? It's today?" The Sailor Guardians all said in simultaneous surprise as they finally sounded like they have woken up from their slumber.
Bugs, Lola and Daffy nodded their heads as the MonStars walked into the room and Nawt said, holding a basketball under his arm, "Hey, we already got our training gear ready, so are you girls ready for our first session before the Ultimate Game?"
The Sailor Guardians all exchanged glances among themselves, then they turned back to the three Looney Tunes and the MonStars as Makoto smirked at her friends and said to Bugs, "Uh, Bugs ... could you guys step out for a moment while the girls and I get ready?"
"Sure, you girls have all the time in the world, you know," Bugs said with a smirk as he, Daffy, Lola and the MonStars left the Sailor Guardians' hotel room, so they could get ready for the training session.
While they were outside, Bugs decided to ask Bupkus how his situation with Michiru and Haruka was going, saying, "Hey, Bupkus, how are things going between you, Michiru and Haruka?"
"Oh, things are going good," Bupkus said with a warm smile. "I think I might have to tread lightly with the romantic overtones around Michiru, lest I want to blow a mental gasket with Haruka."
"Ah, I see," Bugs said while nodding his head and taking a bite from his carrot. "I guess you don't want to affect the status quo, huh?"
"Well, that and I don't want to be at the center of any shipping wars that would come out of this if—and this is a big if, mind you—Michiru and I happened to get together, seeing as how her relationship with Haruka is practically set in stone ... just like your relationship with Lola and Usagi's relationship with Mamoru," Bupkus explained to Bugs, Lola and Daffy.
"That's very chivalrous of you, Bupkus," Nawt said as he patted the purple MonStar on his back, then he smirked at the purple MonStar and said in a playful tone, "When are you planning on gettin' those digits, Bupkus?"
Bupkus just sighed heatedly as the other MonStars palmed their faces in embarrassment at how the smart guy of the group was suddenly becoming more entranced with Bupkus' love life more than the man himself. Nawt could sense the annoyance coming from his fellow MonStars as he just chuckled nervously and cleared his throat while saying, "Uh, heh-heh ... just disregard my previous comment, fellas ... heh-heh ..."
Bugs could only roll his eyes at the red MonStar's antics as he turned back to the purple MonStar, Bupkus, and said, "Anyway ... Bupkus, you were saying you don't want to do anything that would affect your new friendship with Sailor Neptune or even cause more problems with Sailor Uranus?"
"Clearly, Bugs," Bupkus said with a light nod of his head. "Besides, you know how notorious Sailor Uranus is with her attitude ..."
"Trust me, Bupkus, I've seen and heard a whole lot worse in my time," Daffy said under his breath, inciting Lola to nudge him with her elbow.
"Come on, Daffy, you can't be serious right now!" Bupkus said. "Do you not realize how cynical Sailor Uranus is and how forward she is when it comes to confronting somebody? I saw elements to that side of her last night!"
"Yeah, but you didn't get beat up by her, though, did ya?" Daffy said while raising an eyebrow, causing Bugs to palm his face in embarrassment, leading to the duck taking notice of his Looney Tunes colleague's annoyance as he said in a pseudo-innocent tone, "What'd I do? What'd I do?"
Bugs was going to respond with a smart-aleck comment, but he was stopped by Blanko stepping in and saying, "Wait a minute, dudes, let's move away from the relationship problems and focus on the current situation at hand: what is going to go down in this first training session?"
"Just the usual stuff probably," Bang said while shrugging his shoulders. "Y'know ... 2-pointers, 3-pointers, blocks, steals, etc., etc., etc."
"Oh, okay," Blanko said while nodding his head. "Hopefully, we get to perform some slam dunks as well."
"Hey, Bugs, are you sure the girls know a thing or two about playing basketball?" Pound asked Bugs curiously.
"Well, I know that Makoto, Minako and Haruka mentioned that they had played basketball when we were supposed to have that quick jam session against the Witches 5—before they transformed, that is—but I'm sure the other girls have some semblance of awareness in regards to basketball," Bugs explained while taking a bite of his carrot. "As for Chibi-Usa and Hotaru, though, I can't say for certain when it comes to them, but they will be present for moral support."
"Good to know, Bugs, good to know," Pound said while giving a "thumbs up" signal to Bugs.
Daffy then walked up to the door of the Sailor Guardians' room and knocked on it as he said, "Hey, ladies, are you all ready in there? The MonStars are itching to get back on the court!"
"We're ready, Daffy! Just step away from the door, so we could show up in style," Makoto said from inside the room.
Daffy then stepped away from the door as Makoto opened the door to reveal the girls in their own stylized basketball uniforms, leaving the three Looney Tunes and the MonStars stuck in amazement. Bugs was the first to speak up in the amazed group as he said, "Wow, ladies, you girls look amazing in these basketball uniforms!"
"Yeah, it looks like you girls pulled out all the stops for your first training session with the MonStars," Lola said in an amazed tone as she examined the practice basketball uniforms of the Sailor Guardians.
"I gotta say, girls, I'm honestly impressed," Daffy said with a smile. "These uniforms look just as good as the ones Granny made for the Tune Squad. Who made these uniforms for you, anyway?"
"Makoto," Minako said as she turned to Makoto with a smile. "It would amaze you guys to see what she could accomplish in a short amount of time."
Bugs, Lola and Daffy turned to Makoto, sporting surprised looks on their respective faces as they all said in surprised voices, "MAKOTO?!"
Makoto could only smile at the three Tunes and shrug her shoulders as she said, "It's just one of my many unique talents."
Bang walked up to Makoto and examined her uniform, then he looked at the tall Inner Guardian and said, "I've gotta be honest with you, Makoto, these uniforms you made for you and your friends are really beautiful."
"Aww, thanks, Bang!" Makoto said as she hugged the green MonStar and pinched his cheek. "You know, for someone who was considered to be the meanest of the MonStars, you have a kind heart within all of that edge and attitude."
Bang gave a warm smile in response, much to the interest and light surprise of Pound, Blanko and Nawt. Nawt could only smirk in response as he nudged Pound and said, "Hey, Pound, I guess Bang's not the only one who has fallen for the charm of one of the Sailor Guardians, eh?"
"I wouldn't turn this into a joking matter if I were you, Nawt," Pound said with a smile, but in a stern tone. "Pretty soon, you might find yourself having those same lovestruck reactions to one of the Sailor Guardians."
However, Nawt just scoffed at the idea as he said, "Yeah, right! Maybe if you were referring to one of the Sailor Starlights, I would understand where you're coming from, but I honestly doubt I could easily fall head over heels for one of the Sailor Guardians. Don't get me wrong, the ladies are very lovely, very friendly and very courteous for the most part, but my main focus right now is training hard, so I could beat Swackhammer at his own game and save the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians from being stuck on Moron Mountain for what would feel like an eternity!"
Pound just stood there dumbfounded, staring at Nawt as a smirk eventually grew on his face, leading him to say to the red MonStar, "Oh, I'm sure that's the case right there, Nawt. If you were really worried about these training sessions, you wouldn't be sticking your nose into Bupkus' own love affairs."
"Look, man, that has nothing to do with trying to fall in love with one of the Sailor Guardians!" Nawt said defensively, smiling nervously as he said, "I'm just making sure that Bupkus doesn't get his heart broken or even beat up or killed by Sailor Uranus for expressing his true feelings!"
Blanko just patted Nawt on his back as he said while chuckling warmly, "Just wait, dude, you'll find yourself crushing on one of these Sailor Guardian dudettes soon. I don't know when it will happen, but it is going to happen soon, dude."
Nawt could only snicker to himself as he shook his head in disdain and say in a lightly-sarcastic tone, "Oh, I'm so sure, Blanko. 'Just wait, you'll find yourself crushing on one of these Sailor Guardian dudettes soon', ha! Yeah, right!"
Ami took notice of the red MonStar and his antics, smiling lightly at his playfulness until she was snapped back into reality by Rei, who waved her hand in front of Ami's face as she said, "Yoo-hoo! Ami, are you there?"
"Huh? Wha? What's wrong, Rei?" Ami said in a confused tone as she shook her head for a bit and turned to Rei. "Was I getting lost in my own world again?"
"I don't know if that would be the right thing to say, but I guess you could say that," Rei said. "What's happened to you as of late? I expected this kind of thing from Usagi or Minako, but I never thought it would happen to you."
"Sorry, Rei," Ami said while blushing and rubbing her head shyly. "I guess I was finding myself feeling entranced by Nawt over there."
"Nawt? The red MonStar?" Rei said in a surprised tone, pointing to Nawt.
Ami nodded her head as Rei looked shocked for a moment, then she decided to play it cool as she asked Ami, "Ami, why are you finding yourself feeling entranced by Nawt?"
"I don't know," Ami said as she turned to Nawt. "I mean, he does play the role of being this sarcastic, fast-talking trickster—akin to Kevin Hart or Eddie Murphy—of the MonStars, but I have a feeling there's more to him than those characteristics."
Rei turned to see Nawt joking with the other MonStars, then she looked at Ami strangely as she said, "Uh ... are you sure, Ami? What other characteristics do you think he has?"
"Well, think about this, Rei," Ami said as she cleared her throat. "Did you see how Bang reacted when Makoto said he was nicer than he initially let on in the original Space Jam? Well, I'm positive there's more to Nawt than all of that fast-talking sarcasm."
"If you say so, Ami," Rei said as she rolled her eyes. "I just hope you are ready for the disappointment when you realize that's not the case."
"Oh, come on, Rei, don't be so negative," Ami said in a reassuring tone. "After all, who knows? You might find yourself crushing on one of the MonStars soon."
Rei reared back in surprise in response to Ami's comment, then she quickly regained her composure as she cleared her throat and said, "Uh, Ami, I know that was a sweet gesture on your part, but I highly doubt that would be the case."
Ami could only smirk at Rei in response as she said, "Well, Rei, I can't tell you where fate will lead you, but all I can say is this: expect the unexpected."
While Rei tried to process what Ami meant when she said "expect the unexpected", the MonStars and the Sailor Guardians gathered with each other as Bugs said, "Alright, MonStars and Sailor Guardians, you all look like you're ready for your first training session before the Ultimate Game, so go out, find a nearby gym and practice to your heart's content!"
The MonStars and Sailor Guardians all cheered in response as Minako looked at Bugs and said, "Wait, Bugs, don't you, Lola and Daffy want to see us practice, too?"
"We would, but we don't want to bust out laughing if the MonStars start making complete fools of themselves on the court because they are going to start developing these random cru—" Daffy said before he was hit on the back by Lola. "Ow! Hey, what's the big idea, Lola?! What is this? 'Beat Up on Daffy Duck Day' in this chapter of Sailor Space Jam?"
Bugs, Lola, the MonStars and the Sailor Guardians looked at the duck in confusion as Chibi-Usa looked up at Bugs and said, "Uh ... Bugs, what is Daffy ranting about now?"
"Don't worry about it, Chibi-Usa," Bugs whispered to Chibi-Usa. "He gets this way when the universe starts conspiring against him—or some crazy theory like that."
"Anyway, we would like to see you all practice, but we have another commitment to work with right now," Lola explained to the MonStars and Sailor Guardians. "We have to meet up with Wile E. Coyote at the Warner Bros. Toon Lab to see if he could come up with a way to bring Jimmy Butler into Looney Tune Land, so we could recruit him for our basketball team."
"I thought you said you guys talked to Wile E. about this already," Setsuna said in a confused tone.
"We were supposed to, but we had to deal with some other plot developments in this fanfiction," Bugs said while taking a bite of his carrot. "Plus, the previous two days were so busy—what with the return of the Nerdlucks, the revival of the MonStars and all ..."
"Oh, so I guess you and the other Looney Tunes are going to train under Jimmy Butler, huh?" Usagi asked curiously.
"I think you mean 'all of us', Usagi," Bugs said in a reassuring tone as he wrapped his arm around Usagi. "Listen, you guys are also going to be training with us Looney Tunes once we bring Jimmy Butler down here, depending on how the training sessions go for the next couple of days. As a matter of fact, I have a feeling we might end up with some more new recruits one of these days, so I think you and the girls might wanna be there with us ... just in case the new recruits show up earlier than they advertised."
"Wait a minute, you guys are going to have more new recruits?" Rei asked in a surprised tone.
"Well, they are from your universe, Rei," Daffy said.
"Who's 'they', Daffy?" Haruka asked in a suspicious tone.
"Does the name of 'Sailor Starlights' ring any bells to you?" Lola asked while raising an eyebrow.
The Sailor Guardians looked surprised about the fact that the Looney Tunes actually sent out a request for the Sailor Starlights to join their basketball team for the Ultimate Game. They could only wonder how they managed to speak to the Sailor Starlights in the first place, considering the fact that they lived on a different planet than the Sailor Guardians or even the Looney Tunes, for that matter. Meanwhile, the MonStars had a similar interested reaction to this as Pound smirked and said to Nawt, "Hey, Nawt, you remember when you said you wouldn't fall in love unless we were talking about one of the Sailor Starlights?"
"Don't you start with me, Pound," Nawt said in a slightly-annoyed tone.
"Hey, I'm just saying, Nawt!" Pound said in a defensive tone. "You were the one who mentioned the Sailor Starlights in the first place, not me!"
"How did you manage to get in contact with the Sailor Starlights, Bugs?" Makoto asked Bugs in a half-surprised, half-curious tone.
Bugs could only smirk at Makoto in response as he coolly said, "I had to improvise a way to communicate with them ... with some help from Marvin the Martian, that is."
"Define what you mean by 'improvise', Bugs," Rei said while raising an eyebrow.
"How about you ask Bugs about that later, Rei? Are we going to engage in our first practice session today or not?" Nawt said as he took a look at his watch, noting the time ticking away by the moment.
"Oh, my gosh, you're right, Nawt!" Rei said as she also looked at her watch, then she turned to Bugs and said, "Bugs, we'll talk about this later."
Bugs just nodded his head as the MonStars and Sailor Guardians left the Charles M. Jones Grand Hotel to find a gym where they could train for the Ultimate Game. Meanwhile, Bugs, Lola and Daffy were making their way out of the Charles M. Jones Grand Hotel while Daffy asked Bugs, "Say, Bugs, how are you going to get Wile E. to come up with the right invention to bring Jimmy Butler into Looney Tune Land?"
"Eh ... I haven't thought much about it yet, Daffy," Bugs said. "But, if I know one thing about Wile E., he knows how to invent a wide variety of gadgets and gizmos. I just hope this invention he decides to create for us doesn't come from the Acme Corporation."
Finally, Chapter 10 of Sailor Space Jam! is actually completed! I apologize for the long wait, but I was having a tough time coming up with a way to write this chapter, plus school, work and Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out got in the way as well. Anyway, I hope this chapter was worth the wait, even though it was a wait longer than I had intended. Anyway, let's get to the usual wrapping-up business.
It seems that Bupkus and Michiru are actually deciding to remain friends for the time being without bringing in the idea of relationship into the mix, but based on the note Haruka found with Bupkus' gift to Michiru, it seems that Bupkus might be taking a genuine liking to Sailor Neptune, but she might be willing to help out with that—if it is even possible. Plus, the MonStars and Sailor Guardians are preparing for their first training session together while Bugs, Lola and Daffy hope to speak to Wile E. Coyote about coming up with an invention that could bring Jimmy Butler into Looney Tune Land.
Also, note the little references to the Sailor Starlights in this chapter because the trio is actually going to appear as the new recruits for the Tune Squad! How will this development fare for the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians? How will things go during the first training session between the MonStars and the Sailor Guardians? What invention does Wile E. Coyote have in store for Bugs, Lola and Daffy? Well, as always, "Stay Tooned" for the next chapter to find out, folks!
