Chapter 15: Preparations for the Ultimate Game
Meanwhile in Looney Tune Land and in the gym, the tunes were working out while watching a Richard Simmons workout video.
"You're doing it! You're becoming mighty! Go!", Richard Simmons spoke in the video.
"Come on guys. N-No pain, n-no gain.", Porky suggested.
"I don't hear it! What is it?", Richard spoke in the video.
"Come on.", Sylvester spoke.
"C-Come on.", Porky added.
"Now shake it! Keep on sweating!", Richard Spike in the video.
As they were working out, though, Bugs, Tom, Jerry, and Robyn went in.
"Eh, guys?", Bugs spoke up.
"Yes?", the tunes puzzled.
"Look who's finally ready to play.", Bugs stated as he, Tom, Jerry, and Robyn made some room.
"Presenting the return of the one and only...!", Robyn began.
"Drum roll, my good man.", Tom spoke to Jerry.
"Certainly, my good cat.", Jerry agreed before drum rolling as Robyn then introduced Michael, who comes in, wearing basketball clothes.
"Michaeeeeeeeeel Jordan!", Robyn introduced as the tunes looked on with awe.
"Let's see if I remember how to do this.", Michael spoke before he started practicing his moves with the tunes impressed at the fact that Michael is back in business.
He kept slam dunking the ball in the hoop just before Stan arrived, clapping and smiling, prompting him to stop and turn around to see him.
"Michael! Is it really you?! Oh! Thank goodness you're all right! You're all right! Oh! I was so worried!", Stan shouted as he ran up to Michael and hugged him,
"Come on, Stan. Don't hug me, please.", Michael spoke annoyedly.
"Sorry.", Stan apologized as he stopped hugging him.
"What are you doing here?", Michael puzzled.
"I gotta take you back. You got baseball practice.", Stan explained.
"I can't. I'm helping my friends in their basketball game.", Michael responded before Stan turned to see the tunes who are smiling and waving at him.
"Hello.", Robyn greeted with a wave.
"Uh, Michael, do you know that your friends are cartoon characters?", Stan asked.
"Yeah. So?", Michael puzzled.
"No, no. Doesn't bother you, doesn't bother me. Let me help! Let me help! I can help! Let me help!", Stan urged.
"What can you do?", Michael asked.
"Well, you know what I mean. I may not be very tall, but I'm slow.", Stan responded as he took the ball and dribbled.
"And large.", Sylvester emphasized as he moved his belly.
"And a dork.", Daffy added.
"Hey, leave him alone. He wants to help.", Robyn urged.
"Yeah, and we need all the help we can get.", Tom added.
"Think about it. If we keep teasing our teammates, then we are going to lose this game and our freedom for sure.", Jerry added.
"Yeah. What they said. I'll do anything, Michael! Anything!", Stan urged.
"Anything?", Michael asked.
"Anything.", Stan responded.
"Come here. Come here for a second. Sit right here.", Michael responded as he escorted Stan to the benches just as Tweety was sitting down by Granny on the benches.
"Okay.", Stan spoke as he was about to sit on Tweety by accident until the bird moved out of the way before blowing a raspberry at Stan.
"Okay?", Michael asked.
"Okay. No problem. All right! All right! Let's go, team! You know, if somebody gets injured, we could see a lot of minutes.", Stan spoke while clapping and chuckling a bit.
"I'm a cheerleader.", Granny stated while holding her pompoms.
Meanwhile, back in the real world and at the Great Western Forum, Inglewood, California, there were police cars, fire trucks, and owners around the building and the entire building is covered as a limo pulled up with the commissioner coming out and the reporters gathering around him.
"Mr. Commissioner, we've got the place sealed off.", the foreman assured before the commissioner had to give an official statement to the reporters.
"Quiet! Ladies and gentlemen, please, quiet! Listen, after meeting with team owners, I have decided that until we can guarantee the health and safety of our NBA players, there will be no more basketball this season.", the commissioner announced before he walked away as the reporters were shouting for him and taking pictures.
A/N: Looks like the Ultimate Game is approaching its starting phase in motion and, as previously stated, there will be more chapters coming soon starting this Monday. :)
