Daffy was sitting in the café of the small desert town. He was in a bad mood, as per usual and right now he just wanted to be alone to think quietly to himself. He took a few slow swigs of his cappuccino and brushed his head fur back. The waiter, a tubby alligator dressed in a dirty, coffee coloured apron, realised the toon was sad.
"You alright there mate?" the gator asked.
Daffy did not want to be talked to, but nevertheless tried to be polite. "I'm fine…thanks."
The gator grunted and then left Daffy alone to tend to other customers in the café. The small bell above the entrance rang; someone had entered, but Daffy's back was to the door and he could not be bothered to turn around to see who it was.
"Wile E!" bellowed the gator in a chirpy manner spreading his large arms wide welcoming the coyote for a hug.
Daffy's eye's widened and he sharply turned around to see the gator giving Wile E Coyote a big bear hug. The duck could not help feel a little bit stupid after all the homophobic things he had said to the coyote and especially now after what had happened to him. He dipped his head and hunched his shoulders, keeping a low profile in hope the coyote would not see him.
"Hello Daffy," Wile E said bluntly, as he stood right behind his fellow toon. Daffy's low profile plan had not quite worked.
"Hello Wile E," he replied. "Fancy seeing you here."
There was an awkward pause. Wile E hovered behind Daffy for a moment as if waiting for him to say something. However, upon realising the duck was remaining quite silent, he gave up and moved to sit upon one of the stools at the counter to talk to the big, friendly alligator.
Daffy sighed in relief and decided to finish his drink quickly and get out of the place as fast as he could. The entrance bell rang again and Wile E waved, so therefore Daffy assumed it was Road Runner who had entered, but in fact he could not be more wrong. It was Lottie. Daffy's coffee nearly burst out of his mouth. What the hell was Lottie doing here? How on earth did he know Wile E?
Wile E and Lottie Lion greeted each other with pecks on the cheek. The lion looked incredibly dapper; wearing a white shirt with a neat little black bow tie, which Wile E reached up and adjusted. They sat opposite each other of the counter and Lottie was the first to speak, "So how are you anyway my darling? You sounded quite upset on the phone? Is it Damian? Is he treating you bad?"
Wile E rested his cheek on his knuckle. "Yeah…it's partly that," he replied.
Daffy, who was eavesdropping, took a moment to remind himself that Damian was in fact Road Runner's new name and although part of him wanted to stay, as he could not resist gossip, he knew it would be best to leave. He cautiously got up from his chair and tried to slyly make his way to the door but instead walked right into a table which made the whole café stop in their tracks and stare.
"Bollocks," muttered Daffy under his breath.
"Daffy, my darling! How nice to see you again," chirped Lottie in his ever so camp voice.
"You know Daff?" asked Wile E a little confused.
Daffy cringed. He knew what was coming next.
"Oh yes, I met him at The Edge the other night…twas a good night wasn't it Daff?"
Daffy gulped and cringed as he saw Wile E's jaw drop in shock and how everything was calculating up in his mind. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!" the coyote exclaimed.
With those words, Daffy ran out of the café. Lottie was calling after him but he ignored it. He did not know where he was running to, he just figured that he needed to get out of this town and far away from all this toon drama, and plus now that after Wile E would find out about everything from Lottie, Daffy could never face him again. He was too embarrassed by it all.
"Where is Daffy at? I haven't seen him since I came here, he's alright isn't he?" asked a concerned Lola.
"Oh don't worry about Daff, he's big and ugly enough to take care of himself," replied Bugs. The bunnies were in the hotel room and lying together on the bed. They had just quite literally been 'at it like rabbits.'
"Lola?"
"Yes?"
"Is it our relationship just about sex?"
Lola lifted an eyebrow. "What makes you ask that?"
Bugs shrugged. "Well, I know we know a lot about each other already, but we don't talk like we used to…we seem to have sex most of the time."
"Well…that's not necessarily a bad thing and plus we are rabbits after all," chuckled Lola.
"Yeah I know but…I fear lately we've been losing connection between each other."
Lola folded her arms and stared at her man. "Where has all of this come from? Our relationship is fine, if we get anyway near the state of Wile E's and Road Runner's relationship that's when we'll start to panic!"
Bugs raised an eyebrow. "They're having problems? They seemed fine when I saw them."
"Oh believe me, they are having problems! Why on earth are they getting married? I don't know!"
A sudden puzzlement hit Bugs. "Wait…how doid you know about Wile E and Road Runner? Did I tell you about them during sex? Because I know I can spout random things when making love."
Lola became slightly awkward and cleared her throat. "No…I've known about those two for quite awhile."
Bugs looked even more confused. "Since when?" he exclaimed, "And who told you?"
"Road Runner…or Damian told me," replied Lola. "It was about six months ago."
"Six months!" yelled Bugs. "All that time you knew and you never told me! And plus why are you so special that Road Runner, or should I say Damian, tells you before me?"
"Oh stop acting like a jealous five year old!" Lola was infuriated. "You know how much Damian and I are good friends! It would be incredibly bad of me to have told you before Damian did."
"Maybe so, but I am your boyfriend Lola! Surely that counts for something?"
Lola was about to spout an angry reply, but instead she took a deep breath and hastily got off the bed. "Do you know what? I'm gonna take a walk, which will give you the chance to calm down and perhaps grow up a little."
Bugs reached over to try and stop her, but she was out of the door in an instant. Bugs scrambled off the bed and charged out of the room in hope to catch her on the corridor, but she was a first mover and she was gone.
"Oh for Pete's sake!" he cursed
Lola was pacing fast down the road. She was going to Road Runner's. She wanted to talk to him to get things off her chest. Little did she know that Wile E was close behind her walking home, as he had finished his catch up with his good friend Lottie at the café.
"Where do you think you're going?" called Wile E.
Lola turned around sharply thinking it was Bugs, but once realising it was Wile E, she softened a little. "Oh Wile E…hello."
"Come here to steal my man have you?" snapped Wile E.
Lola frowned. "Are you still hung up about that one time between Damian and I?"
"But it wasn't just the one time was it Lola?"
"Oh would stop being a jealous child! I've just dealt with one back at the hotel, so don't you start!" she spat.
"I suggest you turn around and go back where you came from, otherwise I'm telling Bugs everything!"
A surge of panic hit Lola "Leave Bugs out of this will you?"
Wile E laughed. "Ha! I don't think so my dear…now I suggest you turn around and go back home."
Back at the hotel, Bugs was hitting himself. "You stupid idiot Bugs! Why did you flip out at Lola."
The bunny was now at the bar. He felt it was quite an appropriate place to be after what had just happened. He picked up his whiskey and was about to have a sweet first taste of it but was interrupted by a female voice.
"Bugs?"
He turned around thinking it was Lola, but nearly dropped his drink, when he saw Coco instead. He had started to forget about her, as that was usually the way with his one night stands. "Coco? What a…pleasant surprise."
Coco sighed in annoyance. "Why haven't you called me Bugs?"
Bugs became awkward and scratched the back of his head. "Yeah...about that…errr…a lot of things have been happening in my life…I just haven't got round to it."
Coco just shook her head. "Bull."
"There you are Bugs!" another female voice said. This time it was Lola.
"Oh God," muttered Bugs to himself.
"Look Bugs, how about we go back to the room and talk?" suggested Lola. There was a hint of panic in her voice. She placed a shaky hand on Bugs' arm.
Coco frowned at all of this. "And who exactly is she?" she asked looking at the male bunny.
Lola had not really taken much notice of Coco, but now she looked at her and lifted an eyebrow. "Who am I? I'm Bugs' girlfriend…who on earth are you?" Bugs' whole body tensed. He knew this going to end messily.
"GIRLFRIEND?" exclaimed Coco. "Bugs, you never told me you had a girlfriend!"
"What?" blurted Lola, as she darted an unpleasant glare at her man.
"Oh crap," murmered Bugs, as he brought a hand to his face.
