"We w-w-wo-o-o – We did it!" cried Porky.

"Yes, I was truly stupendous, dashing, heroic," cried Daffy. Then he turned to Melissa. "Wasn't I, dear?"

Melissa just pushed him away.

Eric was relieved that his evil stepfamily was defeated and the world was now free from their rule.

Zack bumped into him. "You all right, mate?"

"The fact that we won, I'm very happy," said Eric.

"Listen, I'm sorry about what I said to you earlier," said Zack. "I didn't know what was happening – "

"Dr. Scratchy's told me about you and your Asperger Syndrome," smiled Eric. "But it doesn't change the fact you've always been my mate, even after not seeing you for fifteen years."

Eric put his hand out, but Zack gave him a huge hug. He let go off Eric and patted him on the back before he walked on.

" Ya a happy bunny now, Doc?" Bugs asked Eric.

"I am now," smiled Eric. "Oh, by the way, I'm very sorry about having you kicked out of Warner Bros., Bugs. I was just so very desperate."

"Now I'm 'des-part' to get back with my friends," snapped Bugs.

"Well, go and talk to them and say you didn't mean all those things you said to them," said Eric.

Bugs sighed and walked to Lola. "Lola?"

Lola did not even look at him.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier," said Bugs. "I didn't know what was happenin' to me den. If you give me another chance, I promise I won't desert you again."

Lola looked at Bugs and embraced him. "Oh, Bugs!" she smiled as she kissed him.

"It's good to have you back, buddy," smiled Daffy shaking Bugs's hand. "Whaddaya say we let bygones be bygones?"

"Along with your never-shutin'-up beak?" added Bugs.

"Yep," said Daffy, without thinking of what the grey rabbit had said.

"Well, for old time's sake, okay," smiled Bugs.

Eric had been watching them. Then he saw Fifi sitting on a barrel and crying her eyes out.

"What are you le boo-hooing about, Fifi?" Eric asked as he approached the gorgeous skunk. Then he saw the still-unconscious Hamton on her lap. "Oh, did he save your life?"
"Oui," sobbed Fifi. "And I cannot even say 'Merci'. Le boo! Le boo hoo hoo!"

Eric put his hand over Hamton's snout and waved it.

Hamton's snout was sniffing. "Hmm, grilled cheese sandwiches…" he moaned. "French Fries… Ham and pepperoni pizza… Wait a minute!" He opened his eyes and stood up. "I don't eat ham!"

Fifi saw the pig that saved her life alive and moving. "Oh, merci, mon petite heroic pig!" she cried, as she hugged him and wrapped her enormous tail around him. "Merci for zaving my life. No one, not even a skunk, has ever done anything like zat for moi." And she kissed him all over his face.


Dia had watched Eric help Hamton and Fifi. She looked around and saw Shirley crying over the unconscious Plucky.

Dia hopped over to the ducks. "Need a wing, Shirley?"

"Like, only to bring back Plucky so I can tell him how so grateful I am or some junk," sobbed Shirley.

Dia pinched a piece from Shirley's blonde hair.

"Ow!" yelled Shirley. "Like, what was that for?"

Dia put the piece on Plucky's beak. His beak moved and looked like it was going to sneeze, which it did.

Plucky woke up. "What? Who? Where?" Then he saw Shirley next to him. "Shirley, sweetheart, you're all right!" Then he got a little too close to her, wrapping his wings around her. "What do you say we celebrate a little? You know, since I've been heroic and all that."

"Like, get modest, Plucky," said Shirley.

"This is the thanks I get for being so heroic?" Plucky muttered to the audience.

"Ah, like, I'm so pulling your leg," Shirley chuckled, as she grabbed Plucky and kissed him on the beak.

Dia smiled at those two love birds together. Then she looked ahead and saw on the bow stood Buster holding the unconscious Babs on his lap. She hopped herself to the bunnies. Then she bumped into Eric.

"Oh, sorry," they said together.

They looked at the bunnies.

"Are you going to – " They said together.

Eric broke his staff into two pieces. "Here, take these," he said.

Dia took the pieces and used to get to Buster. "So you're finally missing Babs, Buster?" she asked.

Buster looked at Dia and Eric. "I missed her the moment we – "

"Wait a minute," said Dia. Then she faced her wizard friend. "You put your hand on Babs's forehead after you faked Buster's roasting. What did you make her do?"

"Only made her see how he really felt about her, even after they broke up," replied Eric. "Take it away, Buster."

The blue bunny startled. "What?"

"Tell Babs exactly how you feel about her to prove that you rabbit enough to do it," said Eric. "And to help me get out of trouble from her," said Eric, pointing to Dia.

"Okay, here goes," sighed Buster, taking a deep breath. "Babs, I don't know if you can hear me, but… you were… the highlight of my life. You were… the most beautiful flower I have ever seen. Your jokes… were always the sunshine of all my days, including the cloudy days. And the main reason I was carrying that stupid orb to Eric was because if the evil Epics did take control of the world, I'd dread to think of anything bad happening to you."

"When you say 'were', don't you mean 'are'?" said a cute voice.

"Well, I suppose – " Then Buster stopped. He saw Babs Bunny was alive and hugged her tightly yet happily.

"Okay, Buster," she squeaked through his arms. "That's enough."

Buster let go of his best friend. "I'm sorry," he said. "I'm sorry I didn't have enough time for – "

"I'm sorry for giving up on – "

Then they laughed together for the first time in a long while and stared happily into each other's eyes with tears – happy tears – pouring out of them.

"I maybe the coolest bunny on this planet," said Buster, "but my life would be un-awesome without you."

"And I maybe the funniest bunny on this planet," said Babs, "but my life wouldn't get many laughs without you."

They kept staring for a long time. Then it looked like some sort of force pushed their heads close together, but they really liked it.

"How was that, guys?" Buster asked Eric and Dia, who were not next to them anymore.


Eric and Dia were moving along.

"That was great how you 'helped' those bunnies kiss," Dia chuckled.

"Well, it's great to know that the greatest cartoon bunny couple in the world is back together," said Eric.

"How did you bring Babs back to life?" asked Dia.

"I didn't," replied Eric. "I used my magic to crawl into her head and saw that when she stopped Nyhth from hitting Buster, he actually hit the balloon that Babs was holding. Then she pretended to fall unconscious to see if her best friend was moved by it, which apparently he did. But she did save him from harm."

"Looking at it that way, yeah," agreed Dia.

Then Eric walked to Zadavia. "Excuse me, Zadavia?"

The woman from the future turned around. "Yes?"

"Can you help me get rid of my magic powers?" asked Eric.

"Are you sure about this?" asked Zadavia. "You spent your twenty-five years wanting to be rid of magic. Have you seen any good it has done?"

"Well, I tried to have second thoughts, but it never really sunk," replied Eric. "I know there are other wizards and witches who can handle their magic ten times better than me. And I still want my powers gone."

"Very well," said Zadavia. "I shall try."

"And me too!" cried Dia, getting next to Eric.

Everyone was surprised. They couldn't hear what Dia was whispering into Zavaida.

"Very well," said Zadavia. "Kneel, both of you."

Dia dropped the sticks that she used to get around and joined in the kneeling with Eric.

"What's gonna happen?" asked Daffy.

"Shh!" whispered Bugs, as he held the duck's beak. "We're about to find out."

Zadavia put her right hand on Eric's forehead and her left on Dia's. Then another bright light shone around them and then disappeared as Zavaida took both hands off Eric and Dia.

Then they saw Sylvester on his knees before Zadavia. "Please help me get this bird out of my head."

"Phew, bout time!" cried Tweety. Then she put her left hand on the glue where Tweety was stuck to Sylvester. Another light shone and then quickly disappeared. Sylvester checked the back of his head. He couldn't feel anything.

"Boy, you 'took' good, putty pat," said Tweety, flying around him.

Sylvester watched the bird fly around him. "I'm so relieved that you're not on the back of my head anymore," he said. Then the cat's eyes frowned and his mouth and his tongue watered. "But I'm a little disappointed that you're not in my mouth."

Then Sylvester jumped for the canary but Tweety got out of the way and the cat hit Chip's mast. Then they did what they always do – chase!

Meanwhile, Eric got up on his feet. He looked at his hands and at Chip's sails. He pushed his hands out. The sails did not move.

Eric looked out to the sea and lifted his hand. Then water came up and hit him. As he cleared the water from his face, he saw Babs in a snorkel mask.

"I just can't help myself," she laughed through her mask.

Eric then spun around. "Wonder woman," he sang.

"Nah," said everyone.

"Oh, oh," said Dia, as she was actually standing up without a stick or a jet-pack. That was because she didn't have fish tail anymore; she had legs – human legs!

Everyone was surprised, especially Eric and Zack.

"How does it feel to have legs, Dia?" asked Zack.

"It feels great!" cried Dia happily. She started to move her legs, but nearly fell over. "Well, the walking will take practise, but the fact that I can now hang out with you and Eric makes me very happy."

She walked forward, but she nearly fell forward. She tried to straighten herself, but she fell back, only to be held by the arms of Buster, Bugs, Lola and Babs.

"Hey, Buster," said Dia. "Got any guides for walking?"

"Well, I could make one – " Then Buster looked at Eric and Zack together. " – but your best friends probably have a better one."
"Yeah, go ask dem," said Bugs.

The bunnies pushed Dia to Eric and Zack, who all embraced each other.

"It's so good to see you guys this time," they all said together.

"So what happened to your mermaid tail prop?" asked Zack.

"There's what's happening to it," replied Dia, pointing to it.

She and her friends saw Dot and Babs fighting over the tail.

"It's mine!" shouted Babs.

"No, it's mine!" shouted Dot.

"I found it first!" screamed Babs.

"Maybe, but this will look better on me than it would do on you!" Dot snapped back.

Dia and Zack were laughing their heads off. Then they saw Eric wasn't with them.

"Eric?" said Dia.

"Where are you, mate?" asked Zack.

They heard Tarzan yelling as they looked ahead to see Eric swinging on a loose rope from Chip to Hot Boat.


Eric landed on Hot Boat. "Clive?" he called.

"Hey, Eric," cried Clive. "Clive saw Eric got rid of his magic powers at last."
"My number one ambition out of the way," smiled Eric. "Anyway, I swung here to thank you in person for all you've done."

"It's Clive's pleasure after Eric and his friends freed her from that prison on her planet," smiled Clive. "And for saving all the Neos from Hopcon before it got destroyed. Now Clive wonders where they've gone."

"Well, I'm sure they found a planet to colonize on," said Eric. "And now all these Neos are free, my first job when we land is to send them there if that's what they want.

"Well… that's… great!" smiled Clive nervously. "Clive had better pack her things, eh?"
And she left a saddened Eric all alone. Then Hot Boat started to shake and rumble. So did Chip and the other ships. Then they stopped. One by one, everyone started to fall off the ships, until only Eric, Clive, Zack, Dia and Nell were left on. They all looked to see their toon pals were being held up by a large crowd.

"We parked on some beach," said Zack.

Eric looked ahead. "And we're in some sort of town."

"Guys, look at the tower," cried Dia, as she pointed to it.

They all looked up to see a huge tower in the town. At the top, a board came out with Gogo on it. "Welcome to Blackpool where all the pools are all black." Then he jumped into a bucket of water – black water.

"We're back in England!" cried Dia. "We're home!"


Back on the beach, the Looney Tunes, the Tiny Toons, the Animaniacs, the Loonatics, the Histeria! gang and Freakazoid were enjoying all the attention the people gave them. If that weren't enough, the crowd seemed to take an interest in Eric's puppet friends and Captain Live Action.

"But how did dese guys even know about dis?" asked Bugs.

"I can answer that," said a familiar voice. They all looked to see that the crowd was carrying another person and they were dragging him towards them.

"Steven Spielberg?" cried the Tiny Toons, the Animaniacs and Freakazoid.

"Wait a minute!" cried Babs. "You're not some imposter, are you?"

"No!" cried Spielberg. "I just had a stop-motion animation makeup for my cameo in this story."

"You think Postman Pat gave him a free beauty salon leaflet?" laughed Eric.

"Or maybe he had his makeover after Fireman Sam pulled out a burning building," laughed Zack.

"Anyway," said Spielberg. "After Big Bird and Gromit came here to Blackpool, they told us about their adventure with you guys. By then, people started to remember you guys and started writing letters and petitions to me to bring you guys back to our screens not as reruns but as brand new series. Each!"

The toons and the crowd cheered together.

"What about us?" cried Daffy.

"Well," said a cartoon man who was also being upheld by the crowd. "As Chairman of Warner Bros., I have commissioned a new series of shorts for the Looney Tunes and new series of theLoonatics – I'm sure you guys have a lot of stories to tell us – the Histeria! gang, along with your new friend Captain Live Action and your own show too, Taz."
Taz cheered.

"And since I'm back into producing cartoons," said Spielberg, "I need to produce a brand new show."
The Tiny Toons and the Animaniacs looked worried.

"A new show?" cried Plucky. "A new show while we make a comeback? We won't stand a chance."

"Especially since the lead is like from the twenty-first century," added Shirley.

"Not mention an unknown outshining us!" moaned Babs.

"What if she was not unknown to us?" suggested Buster.

"Huh?" asked Babs.

"You mean, Nell, over there?" asked Hamton, pointing to her.

"Well, we do know her," said Babs.

"And she did help us," added Buster.


"Hey, Nell!"

The flying dolphin saw Buster and the Tiny Toons and Spielberg's other cartoon characters calling her.

"Mr. Spielberg here wants to talk to you!" went on Buster.

"Yeah, come on, Nell!" cried Babs.

The cartoon characters all cheered her to come over, but Nell wasn't sure.

"What are you waiting for, Nell?" asked Dia.

"I don't know," said Nell. "I don't think people will want to see me."
"Why not, Nell?" asked Zack. "You're honest, you're cheeky, you're not easily defeated; you're everything people will love to see. Well, you may not impress everyone – that's one of the most impossible things ever, if not the most impossible – but it's something I would want to see."
"Me too," added Dia.

Nell gulped. "Don't send me away just because you're still mad at – "

"No, Nell," said Dia, holding her flippers. "I'm not mad at you anymore. You are the greatest sister any one could ever have. You have helped me more than anyone in my life. You helped me get through where I want to be and now it's your turn to be happy. Go to Steven Spielberg, show him all you got and make the biggest cartoon career you can make."

"Thanks, guys," smiled Nell as she flew off.

"Hey, Nell," cried Dia.

The flying dolphin stopped and turned around.

"Break a fluke!" smiled Dia.

Then Nell flew off to meet Spielberg.

"She'll be all right, won't she?" said Zack.

"Of course," Dia said.

"Whoa!" they shouted together. They were tripped off the boats and landed on the sand. So were Eric and Clive.

"Hey, what gives?" cried Clive.

They saw Chip and his family being loaded onto trucks.

"What are you doing to these ships?" Zack asked the drivers.

"Yeah, where are you taking us?" demanded Chip.

"We're taking you guys to Blackpool Airport for a plane to Hollywood," said the chief truck driver.

"Yeah," said the Warner Bros. Chairman. "You see, Warner Bros. wants a show with like Salty's Lighthouse, only about navy battles and more action in it. And these ships fit the bill."

"All right!" cried Madam.

"I'm going to sink Paris Hilton's career to the ocean floor!" boasted Hot Boat.

"With me in the action scenes," boasted Cool Dude, "Schwarzenegger is going to look like a puny wimp."

With that, the ships were being taken away and the toons were all taken away.

"Break a leg or whatever, all of you!" shouted Zack.

"Yeah, go knock 'em dead!" cried Clive.

Zack, Clive, Dia and Eric waved to them and soon it was all quiet and lonely.

"Well, there's no one else," said Dia, after a long while.

Eric turned around. "What about these guys?"

Everyone turned around to see the prisoners from Cool Dude getting whacked by sticks or getting kicked sand in their faces. The Beckhams were also greeted by Manchester United haters and people who never liked the Spice Girls.

"They're getting what they deserve," smiled Zack.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Dia.

"Well, I'm gonna see taste some English fish and chips," said Zack. "As I haven't had any in a long while."

"Eww," said Dia.

"Well, Clive's gonna check out this beach," Clive said.

Only Eric and Dia were left.

Eric took a deep breath. "Sorry to leave you and Zack like that, but – "

"Hey, don't worry about it," said Dia, taking his hands. "Everyone's got to do what he or she has to do. But no matter what happens between you, me and Zack, we shall always be best friends."

"Yeah," smiled Eric.

Then Dia put her arms behind Eric's head and kissed him on the lips.

"Well, speak to you later," said Dia.

"Give you a ring later," said Eric.

Then Dia ran to join Zack.

"Come to watch me fish?" said Zack. "I thought it would freak you out. You of all creatures on this earth."

"I just want to try the chips," Dia said. "That's one thing sea creatures don't have."

Eric caught up with Clive. "Hey, want to discover Blackpool with me, Clive?" asked Eric.

"Ah, Clive sees what Eric's trying to do," said Clive.

"All right, I won't lie," confessed Eric. "Before you go, I want to spend some time with you."
"Eric means like a date?" asked Clive.

"Something like that," said Eric. "And if it doesn't work for you, then I'll let you go with the other Neos. It's all your choice, I promise."

"Well, okay," said Clive. "Lead on, MacDuff."

And so the new couples happily went their own separate ways.


"The end," finished Mac and Tosh. Then they closed the book.

Then two things flew out of the book and landed next to the gophers.

"What are these?" asked Mac.

Tosh picked them up and read them. "These are tickets for the maiden voyage of the new Acme Cruise," he said. "It says the owner, Eric Epic, will be there."

"Can we go?" asked Mac.

"I don't see why not," smiled Tosh.

And, with that, the gophers walked out of the library. Then the candles went out and the windows were locked.

With Hazel appeared in mid-air with a pack of suitcases. "I got tickets for that cruise, too!" she explained loudly to the audience, revealing the tickets.
