Little Lost Loonatic

Stygian Skunk Part 7

As far as I know, Cosmo Sambo and Willo-Z are my own creations. They are decedents of Lil' Sambo and Willoughby (who are Bugs Bunny villains that I did not create).

It seems there's unplanned yaoi and yuri elements in this chapter. They might continue if there aren't too many objections. I think the vernacular is SkunkXLexi and AceXTek.

...

Once Skunk and Lexi were out of the bath and redressed, Skunk called Zadavia on the disposable cell phone.

"Well," said Lexi, "The stink is much less now."

"Hello?" asked Skunk, "Zadavia?"

There was a pause as she listened.

"Oui, la puanteur au Acmetropolis Central Park et les cas d'amnésie ont été causés par moi (Yes, the stink at Acmetropolis Central Park and the cases of amnesia were caused by me)."

There was a pause as she listened.

"Je suis content d'entendre que la plupart des gens sortis dès que les grenades commencé à aller au large (I'm glad to hear that most of the people got out as soon as the grenades started going off)."

There was a pause as she listened.

"Je suis tellement désolé. j'ai paniqué (I am so sorry. I panicked)."

There was a pause as she listened.

"J'attends votre jugement et de toute punition qui vous semble (I await your judgment and any punishment that you see fit)."

There was a pause as she listened. She then closed the phone.

"So what did this Zadavia person have to say?"

"I fear that I have let Zadavia and all of you down."

"What do you think Zadavia will do to you?"

"She will take me away from you, from the team."

Lexi put her arm around Skunk's waist as she said, "Don't go, I'll miss you."

"It was never my choice to make."

...

Once Ace and Tek were out of the hot tub and redressed, Ace turned to Tek and asked, "Do you think there's any more people like us out there?"

"Given the vagueness of the question itself and the lack of data to base a hypothesis on, I cannot come to a reasonable answer at this time."

"Do you always talk like that?"

"I postulate that I do."

"Do you think they left any food here?"

"I thought that you were uncomfortable with the precept that we are breaking into this house to use their facilities."

"Hey, in for a monocredit, in for a decacredit."

"I see. Very well, let us go investigate the food preparation and storage facilities here."

"That's the kitchen and the pantry, right?"

"That's the meaning that I intended to convey."

Ace hugged Tek as he said, "I have a feeling that we are gonna get along spectacularly."

"So you've abandoned the perception that I am going to forcibly make you in go into a pot with a variety of vegetables and broth, herbs and spices, shove an apple in your mouth, stick you in the oven and have rabbit stew for dinner?"

"Yeah doc, I'm not afraid that you're gonna eat me any more. That's what you just said, right?"

"You are correct, sir."

"You know, that sounds horribly cartoon-like."

"I wonder why."

"Just a feeling, doc."

...

"Willo-Z," said Fudd, "You stay here and gward the pwisoners. Cosmo Sambo n me will hunt down da udder Woonatics." He glanced at the force globe prisons, checking to see that Duck, Rev and Slam were still in there.

"Ah," moaned Willo-Z, "I don't wanna miss out on the hunt."

"Dose Woonatics are wascawy. If we weave dem unguarded, dey will shurwy get away."

"You got that right, Chrome Dome," piped up Duck.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha," laughed Fudd, "You taunts mean nuthin to me, Dangewous Duck."

"That's Danger Duck, you hunting halfwit!"

...

"Mon cheri, we need to go back to Acmetropolis Central Park and look for clues," said Skunk slowly, focusing on using English in spite of her accent, "I will save time if I just carry you in my arms like before."

Scooping Lexi up in her arms, she sprinted back to the street. Lexi put her arms around Skunk's neck as she mused, "You know, I could get used to traveling like this. When I'm in your strong arms, I feel totally safe."

Skunk blushed as she said, "You are too kind, mon cheri." Lexi gave her a long kiss on the cheek as she said "Mmmmmwwwaaa..." This made Skunk blush even harder.

"You know, Mon Cheri sounds better than Lexi Bunny," mused Lexi aloud, "Maybe I should legally change my name when all of this is over."

"When your memory comes back, you will most likely feel differently about that," said Skunk, who then thought, 'Vous aurez très probablement me haïssent et veulent voir Zadavia m'emmener (You will most likely hate me and want to see Zadavia take me away).'

Skunk dashed down the road avoiding the cars and pedestrians as she went.

...

Ace and Tek were sitting at someone's kitchen table.

"It's lucky whoever lives here stocked up a lot of these Chinese Meals in a Microwave Dish. This Veggie Chow Mien just plain rocks," said Ace as he shoved another forkful in his mouth.

"I agree. This Pork Stir Fry is also very adequate." Shovel, chomp, chew chew, swallow.

"Maybe we live together in a place like this, eh doc?"

"That would be acceptable."

"Is nothing ever just great or wonderful with you?"

"Those expressions are based on illogical assumptions, and not really my style of articulation."

"I wish I was as smart as you." Another forkful goes down.

"I am sure that you have other assets that will become apparent as your memories return. Like I articulated before, you do have a charm and magnetism about you. You could even be a leader." Shovel, chomp, chew chew, swallow.

"I'm not sure if I want that kind of responsibility on my shoulders."

"Yes," mused Tek, "Leadership is a burden. I'm not quite sure how I know that, but I do."

"Well, even if I am this leader you talk about, I certainly couldn't do my job without a big brain like you supporting me." Another forkful goes down.

"Thank you."

"You are most welcome." Shovel, chomp, chew chew, swallow.
