The race for Acme Acres v2
chapter 5
xxxxxxxxxxxx
We find ourselves back at the track as Buster and the others were ready to see how it turned out.
"Can you imagine? Just one more Perfecto team to go." Buster told his friends.
"Yeah, but Mary and her team are up against them." replied Hamton with worry.
'Why are you worried, Hamton?' Little Beeper's sign read.
"Because who knows what could happen." replied Hamton.
"Chill out, Hammy. If Babs, Shirley and Fifi managed to defeat the first Perfecto team then Mary and her team will defeat the other Perfecto team too." Plucky assured Hamton.
"I hope you're right." sighed Hamton.
"Oh Hamton. You worry too much." Buster said.
Soon both teams made it to the starting line.
"Oh I can hardly wait." Buster said. He was sitting in the stands with Babs, Plucky, Hamton, Shirley, Calamity, Little Beeper, Fifi and Furrball.
Bimbette looked to the stands and grinned at spotting her prey.
"Soon, Furrball will be mine." Bimbette quietly said to herself.
"Racers, on your mark." called Gogo.
"We can do this, guys." Mary told Little Sneezer and Vinnie.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to do my very best yup I sure will." replied Little Sneezer.
"We'll all do our best, buddy." Vinnie said.
They got on their boards, which were of the regular model color, meaning they were all the same shade of white as they didn't see the reason to change the colors.
Both teams got ready as the lights began to count down.
As soon as the lights hit green, both teams were off!
"The last two teams are off!" Gogo yelled.
Margot took the lead quite easily and began to circumnavigate past the trucks that were driving on the highway.
"Whoa." Plucky said surprised.
Binky managed to keep Little Sneezer and Vinnie behind her while Bimbette surprised them by not only jumping off her board, but managing to also run on the tops of the trucks and land safely on her board without injury.
'How did she do that?' Furrball asked in thought.
Mary tried to follow Margot, but had difficulty dodging the trucks as fast as she did.
"If I could just take the lead, I could use my sneeze to blow those Perfectos away." Little Sneezer said to himself.
Luckily his small size made it a little easier to get under the trucks, he just needed to be cautious of thee tires.
"Hey! Look at Little Sneezer!" Babs exclaimed.
He managed to slowly start to gain some traction behind Bimbette, but quickly dodged as Binky tried to run him over.
"Out of the way shrimp."
"You'll pay for that!" yelled the mouse, slightly angry.
Vinnie tried to catch up to give Little Sneezer a hand, but found himself getting sent flying from a kick courtesy of Binky.
Vinnie lands on the ground, breaking his right ankle.
"Ow! My ankle!" Vinnie yelled.
"Öh no! Vinnie is out!" read Calamity's sign.
"Little Sneezer and Mary are left." said Plucky.
"I hope the tables aren't turned." Buster said a little worried.
Mary herself was having trouble getting ahead while Little Sneezer was close to catching up with Margot.
"This isn't gonna be easy." Mary said.
"No it's not." grinned Bimbette who held up a red sphere and chucked it at Mary, causing a smokescreen to pop up.
"Hey!" Mary shouted, before starting to cough.
Margot, Bimbette, and Binky grinned as Mary swerved off the road and landed in a garbage can.
"Mary!" Little Sneezer shouted worriedly.
He looked up and saw Bimbette's tail swing towards him and went sailing through the air and landed in the same garbage can.
"Little Sneezer, are you OK?" Mary asked.
"I'll be fine." groaned Sneezer rubbing his head.
With Mary, Little Sneezer and Vinnie out, Margot, Bimbette, and Binky continued speeding down the highway. After a few seconds, they reached the finish line and crossed it.
"And the last team from Perfecto takes the win!" called Gogo slumping his shoulders at their victory.
Buster and his friends looked sadly.
'It can't be!' Little Beeper's sign read.
"Don't worry, we still have two teams up against theirs." remarked Buster.
"Buster's right. We can't lose hope." Plucky said.
"Like, they're both right." agreed Shirley.
'Teamwork is the key to the answer!' Calamity's sign read.
Everybody agreed with Calamity and they high-fived.
It was at that moment a small green sphere landed near their feet.
"What the?" Hamton said, upon noticing the sphere.
Furrball picked it up and saw some faint green smoke seeping out of it.
"What is this?" Babs asked surprised.
The sphere exploded in a cloud of green smoke as Furrball was covered by it.
Once Furrball was covered in smoke, he was spun around by none other than Bimbette, who was smirking. She planted her lips on his. Furrball was surprised, but after a few seconds, he fainted and Bimbette wrapped her tail around him, taking him away.
The gang were stunned and saw Bimbette land on her board and hold up Furrball like a prize.
"Furrball!' Fifi exclaimed.
"Is mine now." grinned Bimbette.
"Says who?" Fifi asked furiously.
"Says me." Bimbette flew away with Furrball with Margot and Binky following.
"Furrball! Non!" Fifi yelled.
