The majority of this story has taken place when Bugs and Lola's children are pretty young, when the last chapter ended, Kristy wasn't even ten years old yet. But we're going to fast foreward again. Now Jacob is going to high school at Acme Looniversity and Kristy is in middle school. Let's see how Bugs and Lola handle taking care of teenager's. Teenager's have a lot fo issues, i'm a teenager, i have a lot of issues, so let's see how those two handle that. Also, i've written mostly from Bugs and Lola's perspective. The rest of this story will still be from their perspective, but i'm going to dive a little more into their children's lives in hese next few chapter's.
High School
The years passed. Bugs and Lola's lives were going so well. Bugs' business had become very successful and well known throughout the world. Their children were growing up so fast it seemed. Jacob was about to be fourteen in three weeks years old and Kristy had just turned twelve. They were good kids though, they were well behaved and were polite and hardly ever caused trouble (although they had their moments), so Bugs and Lola must have raised them right.
It was the beginning of September, time for another school year, and one of their children was taking another big step in life: high school.
Lola went to go wake them up that morning. First she went into Jacob's room. When she walked in she almost tripped on his skateboard and quickly grabbed the wall before she fell. She glared at his sleeping form. She'd told him a million times to put that thing away before someone falls. She turned on the light. His room was so messy, she wasn't very organized herself but she didn't understand how he could find anything in here. She hoped he'd clean up before Bugs found out how messy it was in here. He was a complete neat freak and if he saw Jacob's room like this he'd probably have an aneurism.
She went over to him and tapped his shoulder. "Jake, wake up." She shook him. "Wake up Jacob." She turned him over and he opened his eyes slightly. "You're going to high school, aren't you excited?" He rolled his eyes and went back to sleep. She smiled, she knew she'd asked him that a lot and he was probably tired of it. "Seriously, wake up. You're dad's making breakfast."
She went into Kristy's room. Her room wasn't as much of a headache to go into. Kristy was like Bugs, she was really neat, there was hardly anything on the floor. Her daughter's room was fit for a princess. The white fluffy carpet, the canopy over her bed, her name painted on her wall (which she'd actually done herself), the shiny laptop on her desk, and the dolls piled in the corner which she claimed she didn't play with anymore (although Lola had caught her with them on more than one occasion).
Lola sat on her bed and found her buried in her many sheets and pillows. "Kristy, time to wake up." She didn't move. Lola picked up her foot and tickled it. She started shaking with laughter and Lola laughed too. She kissed Kristy's forehead. "C'mon and get up."
She went to make sure Jacob was actually awake and for once he was, then she went downstairs with Bugs. He was putting waffles on plates for them. She put her arms around his waist and kissed his cheek. "Smells good."
"Thanks love." He handed her a plate. "Here ya go gorgeous."
"Thank you." She sat down at the table and he put Jacob and Kristy's plates by the places they usually sat in then sat down next to Lola with his own breakfast.
Jacob and Kristy came in and sat down.
"Good morning," Bugs said.
"Good morning dad," they said.
Lola examined Kristy's hair. It looked like a birds nest. "You're going to comb your hair aren't you?"
"Can you do it for me?"
"You're old enough to do it yourself now," Lola said as she'd said many times when her daughter was being lazy.
"So are you ready for high school?" Bugs asked Jacob.
"Can you stop asking me that dad? It's just school, it's no different than middle school," Jacob said.
"It's a lot different. It's harder, and bigger, and more fun honestly."
"I'm the only one that's not going to be there," Kristy said. "While you guys are having fun at Acme Looniversity, I'll be stuck in middle school with a bunch of babies who don't know who the first president was and still think it's 'cool' to bully people."
Lola snickered. "People in high school don't know who the first president was."
"Don't worry Kristy, you've got one year and you'll be in high school. Just hang in there," Bugs said.
After dropping Kristy off they went to Acme Looniversity. Once they were there, Jacob suddenly felt a little nervous. He didn't know why. He wasn't usually one to get nervous about these kinds of things; he was a very confident person. Most of his friends would be there, and he'd been to orientation and knew where everything was. Why was he nervous?
He got out of the car with Bugs and Lola. "Have fun today," Lola said.
"Okay, see you later," he went inside.
"Oh Bugs our babies growing up," Lola said happily.
Bugs chuckled. "If you're this crazy now, I wonder what you'll be like when he goes to college," he said as they walked inside.
"I'm going to cry. You'd better bring a box of tissues."
Jacob went into the crowded school. Acme Loo's locker hallways were broken up into different grade levels. The door he'd come through was right by what he guessed was the senior hallway because there were all these tall students wearing senior t-shirts that had their graduating class on it. He went to the freshman hallway and saw his friend Chris.
"Wassup Jake!"
"Hey Chris. What class do you have first?"
Chris looked at his schedule. "I've got…algebra. You?"
"Same. The worst way to start off the day is math, I hate it."
"Well you know all of the teacher's right? You'll probably get A's in all of the classes."
Jacob shook his head. "Nah, my parent's said no one's playing favorite's on me even though they've all known me since I was a baby."
"That blows."
After going to their locker's they went to Sylvester's class. The day went by pretty smoothly. After Sylvester's class he went to Penelope's English class, and Speedy's Spanish class. It was weird to him being taught by the people who had practically raised him. Jr had told him that the teacher's would not be any easier on him than everyone else. He told him he'd gotten so many detentions from them, he had a drawer full of them. He was right; they weren't easy on Jacob either (although he had no detentions that day).
After lunch he and Chris were headed up to Bugs' physics class. When they got in there Bugs wasn't even in there but there weren't a bunch of students in there. A lot of the people he's seen that day he knew from elementary school and middle school, although some he'd never met a day in his life. But being the loud and outgoing person he was, he'd made a lot of friends that day. He planned on at least meeting everyone in his class personally whether he ended up being friends with them or not. Some people wouldn't even bother and would just stay with their circle of friends but that was just the kind of person he was.
When they walked in he saw Cassandra sitting with one of her friends. "Chris let's sit over here."
"You wanna sit with your girlfriend?"
Jacob glared at him. "She's not my girlfriend."He went to sit next to her. "Hey Cassie."
She smiled at him. "Hi Jacob."
Bugs came in and closed the door. "Quiet everyone." Everyone got silent and waited for him to speak. "Welcome to Conceptual Toon Physics. For those who don't know me, I'm Bugs Bunny, Mr. Bunny to you. Before we start the class today, I'm going to put you in assigned seats." He looked at his list of students. "Okay, Tony Aranda, first seat right here…"
Jacob realized he was putting them in assigned seats. He glanced at Cassandra. Her last name was Price and she'd be in the middle somewhere, but he'd be in the front row which was a place he liked to avoid.
"Jacob, right here."
Jacob got his stuff and grudgingly moved to the front row. He made a silent vow to stay made at his dad for the rest of the day after this.
The first few weeks of school went well. Jacob was enjoying Acme Looniversity (aside from the difficult classes) while Kristy was living in misery and woe complaining about how much her school sucks. He was on the basketball team too, but that was no surprise since he'd been playing since he could walk and Lola taught him everything she knew. He had crap loads of homework. Why did teachers give so much homework but encourage you to go green and use less paper. He asked his dad about this and Bugs said homework educates people and uses only a small percentage of the paper in the world.
One day he was sitting on the front window sill doing his math homework. Math was never his best subject, and this was pretty hard. On top of this he couldn't concentrate. His mind kept wandering off to a certain girl.
Bugs walked past him. "Dad, can you help me with my math homework?"
Bugs came over and sat next to him. "Sure I can." As he was explaining it Jacob wasn't paying any attention at all. His mind had wandered back to his previous thoughts and she was all he could think about. "Do you understand it now?" Bugs asked after he was done.
Jacob nodded slowly.
"Good," Bugs stood up. "Come get me if you need any more help."
Jacob looked down at his paper after Bugs went upstairs. He didn't understand it anymore than he did before he asked for help.
Jacob was at school one day heading to his locker before he went to lunch. Then he ran into Cassie. "Hey," he said.
She blushed. "Hey." They looked at each other for a moment not sure what to say. "I guess I'll…see you later."
He nodded. "Yeah…hey wait."
She came back over to him. "Yeah?"
"You wanna go with me?" She looked at him for a moment surprised by the question. He thought she'd say no. "I mean, if you don't want to…"
"No, I mean, yes…yes I do want to go with you."
Jacob smiled. "Great." They looked at each other for a moment then he leaned towards her and kissed her. "You wanna sit with me at lunch?"
"Sure." He put his arm around her and they continued walking.
On Friday, Jacob and Cassie were in the library during study hall supposedly doing a report but not exactly paying attention to the paper they were doing research for.
"Hey, come help me find this book," Jacob said getting up.
She got up and followed him. "What book?" she asked curiously.
"A book," Jacob said with a smirk.
She put took his hand and laughed. "Seriously Jacob, what book?"
They went behind one of the book shelves and he kissed her. "You really thought I was talking about an actual book?"
She shrugged. "Well we are in a library."
"Which doesn't mean we really have to read." She pulled him back to her and kissed him again.
"Ahem!"
They looked and saw Sylvester looking down his nose at them. "What are you two doing?"
"Um, studying?" Jacob said. It came out more like a question.
Sylvester raised his eyebrow. "Oh really? And what are you studying, each other's mouths?" They didn't say anything. "Where are you supposed to be right now?"
"In here," Cassie replied.
"Well if you're supposed to be studying, go study before I give you a detention."
"You're not gonna tell my dad about this are you?" Jacob said. "I've been trying to stay out of trouble."
"Well then Jacob, if you want to stay out of trouble, you can start by going back over there and finish studying. Now."
"Yes sir," they said going back to their table before he changed his mind about the detention.
Bugs and Daffy were sitting in the teacher's lounge after school. Daffy was looking at paper's and Bugs was eating a carrot.
"Can you quit munching that carrot in my ear?" Daffy exclaimed.
Bugs shrugged. "I can…but I won't."
Sylvester came in. "'Sup duck, rabbit?"
"'Sup cat," Daffy said.
Sylvester sat next to Daffy and opened his soda but it had apparently been shaken up and it sprayed all over Daffy. Luckily Bugs shielded himself with the couch pillow. Daffy glared at him. "What the hell?"
Sylvester laughed. "Sorry Daffy."
"Has anyone ever told you not to shake your soda's damnit?"
"How about next time you see me opening a soda, get out of my way?" Sylvester said.
"So how's Jacob doing in your classes?" Bugs asked breaking up an obvious argument.
"Good, he's got an A right now," Daffy said wiping the Sprite off his face. "Of course that can change."
"Sly?"
"He's got a C. I'll work on him."
"Math has always been difficult for him, I'll make him work on it more," Bugs said.
"Yeah, he needs to work on that instead of working his tongue around a girl's mouth," Sylvester said remembering earlier that day.
Bugs and Daffy looked at him. "Excuse me?" Bugs said rising his eyebrow.
"Did you know your son has a girlfriend?" Sylvester asked. His grin was growing at the sight of the look on Bugs' face.
"Why didn't he tell me?" Bugs said.
Sylvester shrugged. "You know how kids are when they get to this age. They don't want their parents interfering with their lives. Jr went weeks without telling me about his first girlfriend."
"So who's the lucky girl?" Daffy said.
"Cassandra Price," Sylvester said. "I caught them making out in the library."
"Cassandra Price?" Bugs said thinking of who that was. "Pretty rabbit with the curly brown hair?" Sylvester nodded. "At least he has good taste."
Lola came in. "Hi you guys." She sat on Bugs lap.
"Geez, are you trying to crush my dick?" he said hugging her.
Lola laughed then kissed him.
"Hey Lola, did you know Jake has a girlfriend?" Daffy said. He laughed at her surprised expression.
"Um, no. Who is she?"
"Cassandra Price," Bugs said.
"Pretty rabbit with the curly brown hair?" Lola asked.
"That's the girl."
Lola nodded. "I see." She picked up the unopened bag of chips on the table. Then she opened them and ate them. "We should go Bugs."
"Why?"
"Did you forget about your daughter?" She stood up. "I'll meet you in the car."
Daffy watched her go. "She took my chips!"
