'It's like Rip is almost like an older brother to Simon.' Estelle thought to herself.

"Come on, Estelle, let's practice some ballet." Jenny told her pen pal.

"Okay!" Estelle smiled and followed after her.

"Do you mind if I join you in the ballet dancing?" Felicity asked, rubbing her arm shyly.

"Sure, the more, the merrier." Estelle smiled.

Felicity smiled and ran off with Estelle and Jenny, giggling as they went off.

"Girls..." Vincent shook his head with a small laugh.

"Girls sure are a mystery." Oliver said.

Vincent looked down and did a double take once he saw the orange kitten. "Oliver!" he bent down and picked him up. "What're you doing here?"

"I'm here too, ya know..." Georgette walked over to him then as well.

"We appeared here after being sucked into some kind of portal." Oliver explained.

"But that couldn't have happened..." Vincent looked puzzled.

"Uh, I was kinda playing with Jenny's bracelet..." Oliver admitted. "I just wanted to look at it..."

"I tried to stop him," Georgette leaned against Vincent, very melodramatically. "He just wouldn't listen! He's a brutal, childish, beast!"

Oliver rolled his brown eyes at Georgette's words against him.

"Georgette, don't try to be melodramatic." Vincent told the poodle.

"Trying." Oliver chuckled at that like a teasing younger brother.

Georgette just glared at Oliver and began to act like an older sister as she began to ruffle the top of his head.

Vincent chuckled ot them, then looked serious. "You guys need to get back home, it's dangerous in Acmetropolis."

"Acmetropolis?" Oliver and Georgette asked. "What's Acmetropolis?"

"It's where we are," Vincent replied. "In the year 2772, a meteor struck the Planet Earth and it became the city planet known as Acmetropolis."

"So, this whole universe is a future city?" Georgette asked, trying to understand.

"That's my understanding of it," Vincent said to her. "It also gave a coyote, two bunnies, a roadrunner, a Tasmanian devil, and a duck superpowers, these are the Loonatics."

"You mean like those cartoons I watch with Jenny sometimes?" Oliver asked. "Wile E. Coyote, Bugs Bunny, The Roadrunner, Taz, and Daffy Duck?"

"Yeah, those are their ancestors." Vincent said.

"Ancestors?" Oliver asked out of confusion.

"Ancestors are the people who lived before you were born," Vincent explained. "Like... Umm... Oh! I guess Aunt Athena could count since me, Estelle, and Akito never got to meet her, but she's Grandma Emily's sister."

"Yeah, I guess that would be a perfect example." Georgette said.

Vincent smiled, then looked concerned again. "We really need to get you guys back home."

"Okay," Oliver said before noticing the portal wasn't appearing. "Um, where's the portal?"

"It only comes until after a mission..." Vincent bit his lip anxiously.

"So, finish your mission..." Georgette told him.

"I'm afraid that takes a while..." Vincent smiled nervously to the poodle.

"How long?" Oliver asked.

"Usually a whole day..." Vincent rubbed his arm.

"WHAT!?" Georgette yipped. "Oh, no, no, no, I cannot stay here ALL day! Winston hasn't given me my bath or a pedicure, oh, no, what if I miss my hair appointment!? Antoine does not like tardiness!"

"Georgette, calm down!" Oliver told the poodle.

"How can I stay calm when I'm stranded here!?" Georgette whined and did something out-of-character for herself and started to howl like a common dog would in distress.

Vincent shut her mouth. "Listen, it's not all that bad!" he told her. "You've been through worse! Remember Sykes?"

Georgette shuddered slightly. "Don't remind me of that..."

"Look, it won't be that bad, besides, you could possibly go without any of those appointments." Oliver said.

"My fur, my paws, my clothes..." Georgette wailed. "Gone to waste!"

Oliver and Vincent merely rolled their eyes at her.

"We'll only be here for one day." Oliver said.

"One day without Winston, how will I ever survive!?" Georgette wailed.

"I hope Akito is having a better time with the Runners than I am right now..." Vincent mumbled, rolling his eyes.


Meanwhile, Akito and Rev were now coming into Tech's lab with Harriet and Ralph as part of the tour.

"Wow, speakin' of gadgets!" Ralph was about to pick up something Tech was working on.

"No, don't touch the molecular redestructor!" Tech tried to stop him.

It was too late, Ralph touched it and sent a laser blast through the room.

"Did you not listen to what he just said?!" Akito glared at Ralph.

"Ah, it didn't hurt anything..." Ralph said, but he was now shrunken in size.

Rev was worried for his father now. Tech narrowed his eyes and broguht Ralph back to his normal size.

"Oh, yeah, sweet, sweet, sweet!" Ralph was thrilled. "This place is a gold mine of gadgets! And it's not bad for a coyote. How much for one of these babies?" he then pointed to another invention in a glass container.

"They're not for sale." Akito and Tech said in unison.

"I see, playing hard ball, well, I can play hard ball too," Ralph said to them. "70:70, that's my final offer!"

"No." Tech declined.

"I meant 65:35." Ralph then offered wisely.

"Uh-uh..." Akito shook his head.

"60:40?" Ralph then offered. "65:40? 66:44? 67:43?"

Tech then walked away, not interested in the roadrunner's money.

"Can't you get it through your head? None of these inventions are for sale." Akito told the older male roadrunner.

"I think that coyote has negotiation issues." Ralph folded his arms.

"Oh, Pop, why don't you see what Akito's workin' on?" Rev offered with a smile.

"Yeah, with a little help from Rev." Akito said with a smile.


Rev took them into another room where Ace and Duck also were where the invention was.

"What's this?" Ralph asked.

"It's a Robo Amigo." Akito explained.

"A Robo Amigo?" Ralph rubbed his hands together. "Now you're talkin'!"

"It's still needs a little bit more work." Akito told him.

"That old scrap heap?" Duck snorted. "That thing's been old forever!"

Rev held it, giving a glance to the duck.

"Oh, Rev, why don't we take it home and build it together?" Ralph offered, putting his son in a headlock. "Like the old days!"

"Well, I don't know, Pop, me and Akito started this together, I think it would be fair if we finished it together." Rev told his father.

"Don't sweat it, Rev," AKito tried to make light of the situation. "I think I'm gonna finish up some of my homework for Tech, but we'll all get ready to fight crime together."

"I agree," Ace smiled. "Very responsible thinking, kid."

"No, Akito, you and I started this together, it would be fair if you finished it with me." Rev said.

"You should connect with your father..." Akito advised.

"Yeah." Ace added.

"Well, okay..." Rev sounded nervous to be left alone with his father.

The Roadrunners went back to their place as Akito was finishing up his homework, he had missed a little due to more training with Ace and Slam lately.
