The race for Acme Acres v2
chapter 8
xxxxxxxxxxxx
Buster and the rest of the boys sighed as the girls came walking over to them, sad at losing the race.
"We saw everything. Really sorry you all lost." Buster said with sympathy in his eyes.
"It's alright Buster." replied Babs before Fifi darted past her and scooped Furrball into a hug.
"Furrball! You are alright!" Fifi said, hugging Furrball and with a few tears falling from her eyes.
Furrball patted her back while also blushing at the hug.
'I thought I'd never see you again either, Fifi.' Furrball said in thought.
"Looks like you guys are our last hope." remarked Shirley.
"Don't you worry! We won't let Binky and her team to defeat us!" Plucky said determined.
"Easier said than done." muttered Hamton.
"Hamton, don't be discouraged." Buster told the pig.
"But look at the damage they did. What chance do we have if they keep cheating?" asked Hamton.
"Who am I kidding? My porker pal's right. There's no way we will ever win." Plucky said, also feeling discouraged.
"Like, don't be like that Plucky. I thought you wanted us to be a couple? Is giving up better than trying?" asked Shirley who knew Plucky's pride would win.
Plucky thought for a minute and then his trust came back to him.
"Alright, I'll do it!" he cheered.
Meanwhile, Max, along with the Perfecto girls, were watching them on the monitor.
"Just one more team, and Acme Acres is mine!" yelled Max in victory.
"You saw how we defeated Babs and her team, Max. We will take town Buster's team too!" Margot said laughing.
"Yeah, well your friend lost her pet." remarked Max.
Bimbette really did not look happy.
"So don't mess up like she did." grinned Max.
"You have our word." Binky said smirking.
Soon the team left Max all alone.
"You won't win, you twerps! Not this time!" Max said laughing while looking at his enemies on the monitor.
We now go back to the team as they were getting their boards ready.
"This is it. Please don't fail, guys." Buster said to Hamton and Plucky.
"Us, fail? Hah. I laugh at the very idea." grinned Plucky.
"Yeah! Once we win this race, Max and the Perfectos will become the laughing stock of Acme Acres!" Hamton said.
"Alright team, let's go!" yelled Buster pumping his fist into the air.
"Yeah!" Hamton and Plucky shouted.
Soon Margot's team could be seen heading down to the starting line.
"Look at them, girls. They're all so confident." Binky said.
"How sad. They won't be smiling for long." grinned Margot.
"Yes. It will be a piece of cake." Bimbette said.
Soon both teams took their places and waited for the lights to go off.
"Come on, Buster!" Babs cheered.
"Like, you can do it, Plucky!" Shirley yelled with joy.
Both teams seemed neck and neck right away, but Margot began to pull ahead slightly.
"We can do this, guys! Don't stop!" Buster encouraged his teammates.
He tried to pull ahead, but Binky cut him off.
"Not so fast, slowpoke!" Binky laughed evilly.
Plucky and Hamton tried to help Buster, but Bimbette cut them off now.
"No you don't!" Bimbette said smirking.
Both of them panicked, but got an idea. Hamton tucked himself into a ball while Plucky picked him up.
"What is this?" Max said surprised while looking at the monitor.
"Catch!" yelled Plucky throwing Hamton like a basketball at the skunkette.
"Huh?" Bimbette yelled.
The result was Hamton crashing against her board, causing her to get sent flying off her board and land into an open dumpster.
Binky and Margot gasped while Babs, Shirley, Fifi, Calamity, Little Beeper and Furrball were cheering.
'2 points!' Little Beeper's sign read.
Back with Max.
"I can't believe it! Be careful! Seems that now they're having tricks up their sleeves too!
"One down two to go." grinned Plucky as Hamton landed on his board, but dizzy.
"Oh. Think you are tough guys, eh? We'll see about that." Margot said glaring.
She took out a pair of pom poms from her board that extended sharp spikes out of them.
Buster and his teammates gasped.
"Dodge these!" Margot threw the pom poms at Plucky and Hamton.
"Oh no!" Shirley yelled.
Plucky ducked, but the pom poms hit Hamton's board, causing him to swerve out of control.
"Hamton!" Plucky yelled.
Meanwhile...
"Ha! Looks like the fatso is going to be out of the race." Max grinned evilly.
Plucky frowned and darted towards Margot.
"You'll pay for this, Margot!" Plucky yelled.
"All talk, no attitude, duck." mocked Margot.
"Get her, Plucky!" Shirley encouraged her friend.
While Plucky went after Margot, Buster took the chance to go after Binky.
"Don't let them win! Seems that they are more determined than ever!" Max said with angry expression while looking at the monitor.
Binky scowled at seeing Buster begin to catch up and began to chuck gas grenades she held in her board.
"Whoa!" Buster yelled, trying to avoid the grenades.
Plucky noticed the grenades Buster was dodging and grinned as he got an idea.
"Oh no! Please say it ain't so!" Max said surprised.
He quickly raced over and managed to snag one of the grenades before they could detonate and took aim at Margot.
"Here's a dose of your medicine!" Plucky yelled and threw the grenade.
Binky stared wide-eye as the grenade came straight at her.
"Uh-oh!" Binky remarked.
The result was being covered by the smoke it produced when it hit the ground, obscuring her vision.
"I can't see!" Binky yelled.
Buster used that chance to get ahead of her while she ended up swerving towards Margot.
"Hooray!" Babs and the other toons cheered.
The end result was the purple bunny colliding with Margot, causing both of them to fall onto the asphalt.
"You absent-minded teammate!" Margot replied angrily before slapping Binky, who was grinning nervously.
Buster and Plucky high-fived as they crossed the finish line.
"Buster Bunny and Plucky Duck crossed the finish line! Acme wins!" Gogo yelled.
The entire audience cheered in happiness.
However, Monty was the only one who was crying, throwing a tantrum
"No! No! No! No! No! No! I was so close! So very, very close!"
He growled and ran to his escape car in the event of losing to get out of there before they got to him.
"This isn't over, you meddling toons! You may have won the battle, but you will never win the war!" Monty yelled.
But just as it seemed like he was about to get away, Buster and Babs jumped out of where the engine should be.
"Going somewhere Monty?" grinned Buster with his arms crossed.
Monty stopped running and looked surprised, before gasping. He tried to run in a different direction, but found Calamity and Little Beeper, who were also grinning with their arms crossed, blocking his way. In fact, he soon found himself surrounded by all the toons, even Gogo.
"The rule was, that if we won; you had to leave." said Plucky with a grin,
The other toons, who were all grinning with their arms crossed, nodded.
Monty began to sweat nervously as they grabbed him and threw him on a bus that was leaving Acme Acres.
The bus started leaving. The good toons were saying goodbye to Monty.
"Bon voyage, Monty!" Buster yelled.
"Don't forget to write." Babs yelled.
"Aloha oe!" Plucky yelled.
"It's been surreal!" Gogo yelled.
As soon as the bus was out of sight, all of them jumped for joy as they never needed to be bothered by Monty again.
"Awesome! Monty is finally gone!" Buster yelled.
"I can't believe this! We've actually won!" Mary also yelled.
"This calls for a celebration!" cried Gogo.
"You've said it!" Furrball's sign read.
"To Weeny Burger!" called Plucky.
"YEAH!" Everybody yelled.
All of them rushed over to said restaurant for the celebration.
Later...
The place was a buzz as every toon there were either stuffing their face or dancing to the music the place set up for the occasion.
"Oh zees ees a, how you say, dream come true." Fifi said happily.
'I'll say.' read Furrball's sign.
"We sure are lucky that Monty is finally gone." Hamton said.
"Yep." smiled Plucky before turning to Shirley. "Isn't there something you'd like to say?"
Shirley glared and said calmly "In your dreams, Plucky.". She then pushed him lightly with her hands.
"But what about the bet?" asked Plucky.
"It is off!" Shirley answered back.
"What?" gasped Plucky in disbelief. He then made a sad expression and put covered his eyes with his hands, before heaving a sigh. After a few seconds, he felt someone tapping him on the shoulder. He looked and saw Shirley smiling at him romantically. This caused him to look surprised.
"Just kidding." Shirley said.
Before Plucky could react, Shirley hugged him and planted her lips on his, giving him a long kiss.
Once she pulled back, Plucky gave a goofy grin and a thumbs up before fainting with hearts popping up.
Hamton giggled at this and said "I know you two will make a lovely couple." Hamton said.
"That reminds me." smiled Babs turning to Buster.
Babs also hugged Buster and kissed him on the lips pretty long.
When she pulled back, he was stuttering and making silly faces before collapsing into a pile of goo.
Babs giggled at this and said to the camera "I love it when he acts like this."
Furrball felt someone tap him on the shoulder and turned to see Fifi.
"Hey, Sweetie. Look." Little Sneezer told the pink canary and they both looked in the same direction.
"I want to tell vous somezeeng." smiled Fifi.
"What is it?" Furrball's sign read.
Fifi didn't say anything and merely grabbed Furrball's face before slamming her lips against his.
"How romantic. They are now a couple. Yep, they sure are." Little Sneezer marveled.
"Great." sighed Sweetie shaking her head.
Once Fifi stopped kissing Furrball, she looke at him, still nervous and with her cheeks red.
Furrball seemed dizzy as little hearts spun around his head and he fell back with a goofy grin.
Fifi couldn't help but giggle. She heaved a sigh and said "At last!"
Babs and Shirley clapped in joy at seeing their friend confess, well sort of.
Calamity and Little Beeper smiled at the scene, before facing each other.
'You know, Calamity? We really need to find ourselves some girlfriends. Love is a beautiful thing.' Little Beeper's sign read.
"I agree, Little Beeper. And it doesn't matter if they are our own species or not." Calamity's sign read.
"Oh boys~!" came two females voices in the booth next to theirs.
Both Calamity and Little Beeper looked in the same direction and once they did, their expressions changed from surprised ones to happy ones.
They were staring at a female Coyote and Roadrunner. The coyote had black hair combed over her left eye and wore a purple skirt. The roadrunner had her feathers styled into a long ponytail and had a white cheer leading outfit on.
Calamity and Little Beeper's eyes turned into hearts and steam came out of their ears. Then their eyes turned back to normal and they howled like crazy.
"Care to join us?" asked the female coyote as they made some space.
Calamity and Little Beeper, while having goofy expressions and also having their tongues sticking out, nodded and got up to join the girls.
