Whew! Finally finished episode 2 of my fan-made season! It's a bit longer than my first story, so it might seem a bit long-winded. And Zadavia doesn't have much of a role, but I've focused a bit more on some of the Loonatics' interactions with one another for this story, especially two certain bunnies! I hope you all enjoy it. I'll be introducing a descendent of Pepe Le Pew in this episode too!

Also, thank you to PurpleCobra247, acosta perez jose ramiro, Shark, dOMITUPSYK, Nightcrawler4ever and Solartiger for your encouraging comments!

Now, on with the show!

Episode 2: Love Stinks

At the Loonatics' headquarters, Ace is in the combat room practising dodging and shooting down incoming lasers, projectiles and blade discs. Tech is in the control room above, setting the combat practice level and monitoring Ace's progress.

'How am I doing Tech!' shouts the bunny up to the observing coyote.

'You've avoided 85 out of the hundred,' reports Tech into a microphone that transmits his voice into the combat room, 'not bad.'

'But could be better!' affirms Ace with determination.

The doors to the combat room open just then and Lexi walks in.

'There you are Ace! I've been looking for you. I've got something here you should see!' exclaims the pink female bunny excitedly, holding some kind of message imager device in her hands.

But Ace has resumed his combat practice and is shooting blade discs down with his eye lasers. 'Later Lex! I'm kinda busy right now!'

Lexi's initially excited expression falls into one of disappointment at Ace's ignorant words. She turns quietly and walks back out through the combat room's sliding doors. Ace seems to be oblivious to her exit as he continues to jump over projectiles. Suddenly the combat practice sequence stops completely. Ace, puzzled, turns up to look at the coyote in the control room, but he is no longer there. Ace is mildly startled to find him three steps behind him when his eyes fall back downwards. Tech has his arms crossed and there is a disapproving look on his face.

'Problem Tech?' queries Ace.

'You just pushed her away.'

'Lexi? Nah, she's fine. Whatever she had to show can wait. But I've got a combat score to improve.'

Tech doesn't look impressed with Ace's choice of priorities and is about to say something else when Rev comes rushing into the combat room.

'Guys-turn-on-the-TV-there's-some-interesting-news-on-about-someone-famous-arriving-in-Central-Acmetropolis-today.' blurts the red road runner.

Tech pulls out a remote and turns on a holographic TV screen in front of them.

An image of a smartly dressed black and white skunk anthropomorph descending steps out of an aircraft appears as a female news reporter on the screen reports, 'Today French millionaire bachelor Mr Romeo Le Pew arrived in Central Acmetropolis from Acme France. He will be here for 2 weeks to attend the opening party of his spectacular new roof-top diner restaurant, 'The L'Amour Cuisine', which is the newest addition to his expanding international restaurant business. When queried as to who would be attending his restaurant's opening celebration party, he replied that anyone who is anybody would be there. All the big stars of Acmetopolis have been invited. And most intriguing of all, Acmetropolis' superhero defenders, The Loonatics, are also on the guest list!'

Ace and Tech's jaws drop in surprise.

Rev looks at them quizzically. 'Didn't-Lexi-show-you-the-invitation-we-got-in-the-post-this-morning?-She-was-looking-all-over-for-you-Ace-but-maybe-she-didn't-think-to-look-in-here-coz-she-was-searching-everywhere-else-but-…'

'Yeah Rev, we know now.' Ace interrupts, he and Tech still with dumbfounded looks on their faces at the news.

Opening sequence and theme plays at this point.

A few nights later, the Loonatics are sitting in one of Tech's best-looking vehicles on their way to the roof-top diner restaurant's big opening party. Tech is driving the red-painted car whilst the others sit at the back in spacious seats. The guys are dressed in tuxedos whilst Lexi is in a cream white evening dress. She has her arms crossed and is looking away from Ace who is trying to offer her a small apologetic look.

'C'mon Lexi, I said I was sorry already! How was I supposed to know you had an important invitation to show me?' Ace pleads mildly.

'Hmph!' Lexi responds still looking away from the yellow bunny.

Ace leans over to Rev next to him and whispers, 'Women, always so particular about how you treat 'em!'

Rev shrugs unhelpfully at his leader's comment.

On the other side of the back seats, Duck inspects his reflection in the car window. 'The name's Duck, Danger Duck!' he says to his mimicking reflection, straightening up his black blazer. 'Oh yeah, I'm as smooth as they come!'

Slam grunts and shifts about uncomfortably in his constricting tuxedo suit, moving his arms around in awkward motions.

Finally the Loonatics pull up at the well-lit entrance to a very tall building. The five at the back get out of the car and Tech drives it into a parking space, then gets out and joins the others. They enter the magnificent looking building and step into an elevator that takes them to the very top roof level. Once there, Ace and his companions are greeted by the sight of a bustling, glamorous party in a huge golden hall. People are standing around or sitting at cloth-covered tables, chatting and drinking from glasses of wine. Slam spots the selection of buffet food laid out on some long tables at the sides of the hall; he immediately tornadoes over to gobble it up.

'Well, looks like someone's gunna be having a good time tonight!' Ace comments grinning.

The Loonatics are approached by a suave-looking black and white skunk anthropomorph and a tall shaved-headed man in tuxedos too.

'Aaahh, zhe Loonatics! Finally you 'ave arrived!' the skunk says in a strong French accent. 'Velcome to my L'Amour Cuisine!'

'Mr Le Pew, thank you for inviting us,' Tech politely greets the skunk whilst shaking his hand. 'Your restaurant looks magnificent.'

'Why zhank you Dr Coyote! Pleaze, make yourselves comfortable.'

'It's a pleasure to meet the infamous Loonatics!' says the man to the side of Romeo Le Pew, grabbing Ace's hand in a firm handshake.

'Oh, zhis is Tony Vulgari, my assistant manager,' informs Romeo to the Loonatics, 'Ee iz very dedicated in 'elping moi run mah culinary business.'

Romeo's eyes fall upon the eye-catching form of Lexi and he is instantly at her side.

'Aaahh, Miss Lexi Bunny I perzume! You are az lovely as in all the pictures ah 'ave zeen!'

Lexi blushes at Romeo's flattering compliment. 'Errr, thank you Mr Le Pew.'

Romeo takes her hand and kisses it. 'Pleaze, call me Romeo madamemoiselle!'

Ace, annoyed, takes a step forward intending to interject between Lexi and Romeo, but Tony Vulgari blocks his path and begins long-windedly chattering away to him about the restaurant business. Ace just nods politely at the bald-headed man, but his eyes follow Lexi as she is lead onto the dance floor by the smooth-talking French skunk. Romeo pulls Lexi close to him in a ballroom dance embrace.

'So Miss Lexi, do you like French cuisine?' Romeo queries whilst gazing deeply into her emerald eyes.

'One of my favourites Romeo.' she replies smilingly.

'Say-it-looks-like-Romeo-over-there-is-courting-our-Lexi-and-if-I-didn't-know-better-I'd say-Ace-was-jealous-coz-he-keeps-eyeing-them-like-a-hawk!' blabs Rev to Tech and Duck beside him.

'Pfff! I can rake in more ladies than that!' boasts the mallard, 'Why I'm practically a female magnet! Watch!' Duck tightens the bow-tie around his neck and strides up to a small group of women. 'Alright ladies! Don't all rush me at once!' He pulls off what he believes to be a dashing smile to the staring women. The ladies, unimpressed, grab baguettes from the tables, their umbrellas and other stick like objects and start whacking the poor duck.

Tech and Rev look on at the struggling duck and shake their heads. Tech then spies the suspicious movements of a few men across the hall. Suspicions aroused, the coyote follows one of the men at a safe distance, turning his head away and pretending to drink from a glass when the man looks behind himself at one point. The man disappears into the kitchen. Tech follows him in and observes him doing something on one of the food shelves. The man then makes his way calmly out of the kitchen. Tech runs over to the food shelf and starts scanning his eyes over it. To his shock he spots a small detonator device set to go off in 5 minutes.

He shouts out aloud to all the chefs in the kitchen, 'Everyone clear out! There's a bomb in here!'

All the chefs gasp and start rushing out of the kitchen into the main hall. Tech follows after them. He scans the hall quickly for the man that planted the detonator and spots him and a few other men heading toward an exit.

'All of you! Stop!' he shouts at them, but they quickly run out the exit upon sight of the approaching coyote.

Rev runs up to Tech. 'What's-going-on-Tech!-All those-chefs-are-screaming-something-about-a-bomb-and-…'

'I think there's a few around here! Get everyone out!' commands the coyote.

Rev speeds off. Ace ushers running people down the exit stairs. Lexi along with Romeo goes to help him. Slam tornadoes through a wall and Rev picks up people and speeds out through the gaping hole, dropping them off on the ground below outside. Slam does likewise with his tornado maximizer. Duck grabs onto some people and teleports them out of the building. Tech gathers together most of the detonator devices from around the hall with his magnetic powers and piles them into the furthest corner of the hall he can find. Then he uses his magnetic powers to rip off a few metal doors and other metal objects, shaping them into a large shield to cover the pile of detonators with.

Ace calls to him urgently, 'Tech! They're gonna blow! We gotta go now!'

'Nearly done Ace!' Tech shouts back.

Ace and the other Loonatics, being the last ones in the restaurant, quickly escape through the hole in the wall and land safely on the ground outside. They all turn around expecting Tech to follow right after them. But to their horror, the roof-top restaurant they just left then explodes.

'Tech!' cries Rev in dismay.

All the Loonatics' faces fall as they fear the worst for their friend Tech.

'Oh-Tech!-I-never-told-you-but-you-were-the-best-friend-a-roadrunner-could-ever-ask-for-even-though-I-ruined-that-invention-you-were-working-on-2-months-ago-coz-I-was-curious-and-started-pushing-a-few-of-its-buttons-then-it-just-went-ka-boom!-Please-forgive-me-wherever-you-are-now!' blurbs Rev in grief.

'It was you that ruined my vehicle-repair-bot-200!' A smouldering, burnt coyote walks up to the grief-stricken roadrunner bird.

'Yes-I-….Tech! You're-alive!' Rev cries in relief.

Tech's molecular regeneration restores him back to normal. 'Barely,' he croaks weakly.

Rev launches himself onto the green coyote and squeezes him in a tight power hug. Tech, almost choking, tries to push the red roadrunner off of him, unsuccessfully.

'Miss Lexi! Are you alright? You are unharmed?' Romeo questions Lexi with concern, taking her hand in his.

'I'm fine Romeo! As you can see I'm still in one piece!' Lexi cheerfully tries to settle the skunk's concern.

Ace, with a cross expression on his face, walks up to the couple. 'So any idea who would want to try destroying yer restaurant Mr Le Pew?' Ace interrupts, slight annoyance apparent in his voice.

Romeo Le Pew looks on at his burning restaurant, frustrated. 'I do not have a clue!' he replies disappointedly. Tony Vulgari, who is standing behind his French skunk boss, puts a hand on Romeo's shoulder. 'But I intend to find out!' Romeo mutters under his breath to himself.

Commercial break here.

All the Loonatics are back at HQs. Everyone, except Lexi, are in the command control room, trying to figure out some leads on the intended demolition of Romeo's restaurant.

'Maybe those guys hated French cooking?' offered Duck sarcastically.

Slam blabs something in disagreement to Duck's comment about the cooking being distasteful, shaking his head vigorously.

Tech is gently tapping away at a keyboard and studying a computer screen intently.

'Anything?' inquires Ace.

'It seems Romeo's got some intense competition in the culinary business. 'Perfect Cooking's' being in tight competition with our skunk friend and his company for the past year. Both companies have been expanding rapidly in the same areas of Acmetropolis and are fighting each other for more business,' informs Tech.

'Perhaps we should go have a liddle looksee at 'Perfect Cooking's' head office then,' suggests Ace.

Just then, Lexi walks into the command control room, dressed in a slim-fitting red top and jeans and carrying a small handbag over her shoulder.

'What's with the dress code missy?' queries Duck.

'I'm going out shopping for some new evening outfits,' answers Lexi.

'Evening outfits?' questions Ace, immediately unsettled.

'Yeah, can't be seeing Romeo again in these old rags now can I?' replies the pink bunny.

'Seeing-Romeo-again?' repeats Rev puzzled.

'He invited me out for dinner at another one of his restaurant branches this Friday,' Lexi explains, slightly impatient.

'Lex, we're about to head out to investigate ….' begins Ace.

'…a lead on the bombing at Romeo's L'Amour Cuisine, I know. I heard you guys. I have super hearing remember?' Lexi finishes. 'You boys can handle a little info gathering without me I'm sure. And when you get back, you can tell me all about what you've discovered.'

'Alright Lexi, we'll go ahead without yo….' Tech starts, but Ace doesn't let him finish his statement.

'Lex, we don't have time for shopping now,' Ace commands firmly, annoyance present in his voice once again. 'We gotta sort this case out foist!'

Lexi raises an eyebrow at her leader indignantly. 'The five of you can handle this easily,' she replies calmly. Then she turns to walk out the door, but Ace impulsively reaches for her wrist and stops her. Lexi turns back to face him surprised, and looks at his hand tightly gripping her wrist. 'Ace? Let go of me, please,' Lexi cautiously requests of him. Ace, blinking, suddenly realizes what he's doing and lets go of Lexi's wrist. She glances at him momentarily before walking out the door. The others, having observed all this, just look at each other in puzzled fashions and shrug their shoulders.

Later, Ace and the others, minus Lexi, arrive at Perfect Cooking's head office via jetpacks. They land on the reinforced glass paned roof. Tech pulls out a pocket-sized electronic lock-opener device of his and sets it down on top of an electronic lock to one of the roof windows. The device's LED lights flash red a couple of times before changing to green and emitting a low beeping sound. The click of an opened roof window follows instantly after the beeping, and Tech easily pulls open the window pane. He and the other Loonatics jump through the opened roof window and land delicately on the floor inside. They are in a filing cabinet room.

'Look around in all the cabinets and see if there's anything mentioning Romeo's restaurant business,' commands Ace in a hushed tone.

The others nod and spread out to search in different cabinets. After a few minutes though, Rev perks his head up and his eyes are glowing red. 'Ace!' he calls in a loud whisper, 'I'm-picking-up-a-moving-signature-in-this-vicinity-on-my-GPS!'

Ace and Rev quietly go to look for the source of Rev's psychically-sensed signature. They look around a few cabinets and spot a dark, shuffling figure in a corner. The stranger is wearing a black burglar's outfit. Pressing their backs flatly against oppositely-positioned filing cabinets, Rev and Ace look at each other side to side. Ace raises his hand and silently signals to Rev to ambush the stranger on the count of three. He raises three fingers, then two, then one. Ace and Rev jump out of their hiding positions as quick as lightning and pounce on the dark figure, tackling him to the floor. Rev holds the stranger's arms down whilst Ace weighs him down by sitting on top of him. Ace pulls off a mask that covers the stranger's face and to his and Rev's complete surprise, Romeo Le Pew looks up at them, surprised himself at the sight of the two Loonatics.

'Le Pew!' Ace nearly shouts out loud incredulously. Ace's brows drop down quickly as his suspicions kick in. 'What are you doing snooping around 'ere?'

'I could ask you zhe same thing monsieur Ace Bunny,' replies Romeo coyly. 'But I'm not stealing anything if zhat is what you are thinking.'

Ace, unconvinced, eyes the French skunk harder. 'Trying ta sabotage the competition perhaps Mr Le Pew?'

To Ace and Rev's further surprise, Romeo's form suddenly dissipates from underneath them; he turns into a cloud of gas which floats over to the open roof window that the Loonatics had entered the building through before and escapes. Ace and Rev stand up and are joined by Slam, Duck and Tech just in time to see the unusual gas cloud float out.

'What the quack was that!' questions Duck.

Later, back at HQs in the command control room again, Ace and Rev tell the others, who are seated, about their sighting of Romeo Le Pew.

'We-tackled-him-to-the-floor,-asked-him-a-few-questions,-then-he-just…evaporated-into-gas!' explains Rev.

'Another individual affected by the meteor hit last year?' suggests Tech thoughtfully.

'Meteor radiation victim or not, Romeo Le Pew is still under suspicion of corporate sabotage of and attempted information stealing from Perfect Cooking!' Ace insists. 'He could've even blown up his own restaurant the other night! Claiming indemnities for the loss and damage AND placing his Perfect Cooking rivals under public suspicion!'

'There's no evidence for such accusations Chief. We don't know anything about Le Pew's intentions if anything past just building his culinary business,' reasons Tech.

'Tech! He was snooping around Perfect Cooking's head office!' cries Ace in frustration at the coyote, and pointing behind himself in the direction of Perfect Cooking's head office.

Tech calmly stands and confronts Ace, face-to-face. 'So were we, Chief. But I think the bigger question here is: why are you so eager to lay blame on him?'

Rev, Slam and Duck all nod their heads in agreement with Tech's question. Ace freezes at the blunt question. Just then, as if in answer to Tech's question, Lexi enters the room with paper bags hanging from her hands' grip.

'What's all the yelling over Romeo in here about?' Lexi queries. Her super hearing missed little.

'Lex, you can't see Romeo again this Friday!' Ace insists.

Lexi's face hardens. 'And why not!'

'We caught him sneaking around at Perfect Cooking's head office and…'

'You think he's a criminal!' Lexi finishes angrily, crossing her arms.

'Look Lex, he could be dangerous!' Ace tries to plead with her.

'The only thing that's dangerous around here is your controlling, obsessed attitude!' Lexi fires back at Ace. With that she storms out of the control room. Ace's face falls sadly.

Friday evening comes and Lexi enters another stylish French restaurant. She is dressed in a short cherry-red dress with an accompanying red bow tying her long ears together at the top of her head. She spots the dashing form of Romeo Le Pew waving at her from a candle-lit table for two. She smiles and makes her way over to him. A little later after eating their meals, Romeo's face takes on a solemn expression.

'Lexi, my little petit fleur, I need to tell you something important,' Romeo says in a low voice.

Lexi leans closer to him. 'If this is about you and my team mates bumping into each other at Perfect Cooking's head office the other night…'

'Aahh, I zhee monsieur Ace must have informed you already then,' Romeo confirms, 'Yes, I was looking around at Perfect Cooking's 'ead office. I suspected they might be behind zhe bombings at my L'Amour Cuisine. But I found no evidence of that at the 'ead office.'

'So who would want to…?'

'I have no idea now,' Romeo sighs. 'I also need to tell you zumthing else about moi Miss Lexi.'

'How 'bout we leave that for another time Romeo? I'm beat. I think I need to retire for tonight,' requests Lexi tiredly.

'Of course my little petit fleur. I shall take you home,' offers Romeo.

Romeo and Lexi stand up from their table and Romeo waves a thank you at some of his staff in the restaurant, then the couple make their way out. Outside, Romeo leads Lexi to his Rolls Royce-like car and opens the door for her. They both sit in and make themselves comfortable in the vehicle's seats. Suddenly two men in dark sweaters and caps approach the car and knock roughly on Lexi's window side. She winds down the window to see what they want, but as soon as she does, they instantly whip out gas sprayers and spray a noxious knock-out gas inside the car. Lexi and Romeo cough a few times. Romeo tries to open the car door and Lexi pushes a button on a gold bracelet she is wearing around one of her wrists; they both pass out within seconds though. The button Lexi has pushed on her bracelet starts flashing silently.

Back at the Loonatics' HQs, Zadavia contacts Ace and the others.

'Loonatics! I have received a distress signal from Lexi. She's in danger!' alerts Zadavia from a monitor screen.

'I knew that skunk would be trouble!' growls Ace. 'Where is she Zadavia?'

'She seems to be on the move. Her signal's going out of Central Acmetropolis toward the West Side docks.'

'We're there!' exclaims Ace. 'To the jet craft Loonatics!'

Over at the Acmetropolis West Side docks by a wide-spanning river, Lexi and Romeo slowly come to from the effects of the knock-out gas. They are tied up and hanging from the top of a raised crane hook over the river waters. A small group of armed men are pointing their guns up at the pair. A bald-headed man then walks toward them.

'Tony Vulgari!' Romeo identifies the bald man. 'What is zhe meaning of all zhis!'

Tony Vulgari speaks, 'It's just business, 'boss'. 'My' business now that is!'

'Vulgari! Isn't he your assistant manager!' Lexi recalls out loud to Romeo.

'Oui, petit fleur, but not anymore now!' answers Romeo grudgingly.

'You're right about that 'former' boss!' Tony mocks, 'Coz soon I'm gonna be the new boss of your culinary business!'

'And how exactly were you planning on getting there mister?' Lexi shoots at Tony.

'Such a nosey, but pretty, little bunny!' Tony teasingly comments. 'I damaged the L'Amour Cuisine 5 nights ago,' Tony turns to Romeo, 'it was the best way to ruin your public image as a high-class restaurant runner. Not too many people are gonna be impressed with your unsafe restaurants! Not to mention you having seemingly dangerous enemies!'

'You're scum Vulgari!' Lexi fires. 'You won't get away with this!'

'Actually Miss Bunny, I will.' Tony Vulgari nods at one of his armed henchmen, who then activates the crane to slowly lower Lexi and Romeo down into the river waters. 'Y'see, once Romeo and you are out of the way, no-one will ever suspect that I had anything to do with the restaurant bombing or your, currently impending, demise. And with poor Mr Le Pew gone, I'll step in to fill his place as chief director of the business!'

'Tony! Let her go! She haz nothing to do wiz any of zhis!' Romeo pleads, using his head to motion toward Lexi as they are slowly lowered closer to the waters.

'Sorry Romeo! But there'll be no heroics tonight!' Tony chuckles darkly.

'Wanna bet doc!'

Tony and his armed henchmen whirl around to see Ace and the other four Loonatics facing them.

'Fire! Fire!' Tony shouts at his henchmen and points to the Loonatics.

The armed henchmen open fire at the five Loonatics, who all leap out of the way in different directions. Ace fires his eye lasers at two henchmen and knock their guns out of their hands. Duck conjures up two power orbs in his hands and tosses them at another two henchmen's faces, covering them with purple goo. Slam spins past three henchmen, knocking them over and their guns out of their hands. Rev whizzes around another three and swipes their guns quicker than the blink of an eye. Four men surround Tech and aim their guns at him. Tech raises his arms and twists their guns out of shape with his electromagnetic powers. While Ace and the others are engaged with Tony's henchmen, Romeo closes his eyes in concentration and once again converts himself into a gaseous form, slipping out of the ropes binding him. He drifts toward the crane controls and reforms himself into solid form again. He is looking for an off switch to the crane to rescue Lexi when one of the henchman charges at him and tries to fire at him. Romeo morphs into gas and the bullets pass right through him.

'Ace! Help!' Lexi calls. She is then submerged under water.

Ace runs to her rescue, diving into the river after her. Underwater, he swims to Lexi, who is apparently losing oxygen fast, and fires his eye lasers at the ropes binding her, successfully burning them loose. Then he grabs Lexi and pulls her up to the water's surface. He drags her back to land.

'Lex! Are you alright?' Ace asks Lexi concerned, but she does not reply. Ace then realises that she's not breathing. In a panic, he quickly starts administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to her, pushing down hard on her chest then pressing his lips onto hers to deliver breaths, then repeating the procedure again. The other Loonatics, having taken care of all Tony Vulgari's henchmen, rush over to Ace and Lexi. Lexi suddenly coughs deeply and everyone breathes a sigh of relief. Ace helps her sit up.

'Man-Ace!-You-were-just-dying-to-do-that-weren't-you?' jokes Rev.

Ace and Lexi stare at Rev speechless first, then at each other. Small smiles creep across the bunnies' lips.

'So I guess this means you have two have 'kissed' and made up!' Tech teases.

Ace and Lexi both blush hard at this.

'Hold it right there you annoying Loonatics!'

The Loonatics turn around to see an angry-looking Tony Vulgari pointing a gun at them. From behind him a strange gas creeps around his face, infiltrating his airways through his nostrils and mouth. His eyelids droop and he suddenly collapses onto the ground, unconscious. The strange gas then materialises into Romeo Le Pew.

'I take it that was the other important thing you were wanting to tell me earlier then Romeo?' Lexi guesses.

'Oui madame! I too was changed after zhe big meteor hit last year. Please, do not let it get round. It would ruin my reputation in the public eye.'

'We won't tell a soul Romeo,' promises Ace, who then shakes the French skunk's hand firmly.

A few days later, Lexi meets Romeo again at the Acme Central Park.

Lexi's eyes fall as she faces Romeo. 'Romeo, I have a confession to make.'

Romeo looks at Lexi slightly puzzled.

Lexi continues, 'I…I only agreed to go out with you because I was feeling rejected. But….'

'There iz someone else?' Romeo Le Pew finishes for her, slight disappointment in his voice.

Lexi answers with uncertainty, 'Yes…no…I don't know…I mean, there's someone I care for deeply, but I don't know if we could ever….'

'You need say no more. I understand. Zhere iz someone else closer to your heart, but you are uncertain as to where you stand in his no?' Romeo analyses in a soft tone.

'Yes,' admits Lexi slightly surprised.

'Do not worry my little petit fleur! If you and he are destined for love, it vill happen in its own time. You cannot rush the growth of a beautiful rose!'

Lexi smiles. 'Thank you Romeo. You seem wise in matters of the heart.'

'Ah alas, my own heart has ached much before because ov love. Yet I remain hopeful zhat one day, I vill find true love!'

Lexi places her hand on top of Romeo's and with certainty says, 'I know you will Romeo!'

Lexi kisses Romeo Le Pew on the cheek and steps back. 'Goodbye Romeo,' Lexi says in a hushed tone.

With that, Lexi mounts her motorcycle on the roadside and puts on her driving helmet. Then she starts up the engine and drives away back toward HQs, leaving Romeo Le Pew waving goodbye behind her. Romeo, smiling to himself, glances for a few long seconds in the direction Lexi went, then he himself turns and walks the opposite way down the park path.

Zhe End of Episode 2!
