Chapter 1: Adopting Fifi
Fluttershy took Fifi La Fume to the vet as quickly as she could. She along with Jewel waited anxiously in the waiting room for the vet to finishing examining the purple skunkette. Very soon, the vet that was checking on Fifi, Dr. Fauna came into the waiting room, carrying her. Dr. Fauna had light yellow skin, pale, light grayish cerulean and light ceruleanish gray hair and moderate orange eyes. She wore a white veterinarian outfit and her hair was styled into a pony tail. Fifi had a couple of band-aids on her body. "How is she, Dr. Fauna?" asked Fluttershy.
"Other than a couple of bruises, she's fine," said Dr. Fauna. Fluttershy let out a sigh of relief. "You were lucky to have rescued Fifi. Some of Elmyra's pets have actually died due to her obliviousness to the abuse she inflicts on them," said Dr. Fauna. Fluttershy gasped when she heard this. "But Fifi's safe thanks to you and your Dalmatian," said Dr. Fauna.
"I need to get back home," said Fifi.
"Where do you live?" asked Fluttershy.
"I live by myself, een an abandoned Cadillac een ze Acme Acres Junkyard," said Fifi.
"You live there?! No! Absolutely not! A junkyard is no place for a little skunk like you! It's very unhealthy!" objected Fluttershy.
"Don't you have a family?" asked Dr. Fauna.
"Non. Ma parents died when I was ten," said Fifi sadly. Fluttershy then thought up an idea.
"Fifi, maybe . . . would like to live with me?" asked Fluttershy.
"Are you askeeng moi to be . . . your pet?" asked Fifi.
"Yes. I'm a better caretaker than Elmyra is. I promise you, I'll take good care of you and treat you right. I just need to talk to my parents and see if they'll approve," said Fluttershy. Very soon, Fluttershy called her parents, asking if she could adopt Fifi La Fume as her newest pet. Fifi waited anxiously as the phone call happened. Very soon, Fluttershy hung up the phone after finishing the phone conversation.
"So?" asked Fifi.
"My parents said that I can adopt you," said Fluttershy. Fifi then jumped into Fluttershy's arms happily.
"Bless you, Fluttershy! You've been so kind to moi," said Fifi.
"Welcome to the family, Fifi," said Fluttershy. Fluttershy then hugged Fifi gently.
"We'll need to stop by ze junkyard so zat I can collect ma personal belongings," said Fifi.
"Okay," said Fluttershy.
Fifi called a moving van and she along with Fluttershy were able to gather all of her stuff and move them from the Cadillac and into the van. They included her vanity, makeup, perfumes, dresses & other clothes, books and more. The moving van then brought all of Fifi's stuff to Fluttershy's house. Fifi and Fluttershy exited out of the moving van. Fluttershy's parents were waiting. Mr. Shy was a man with pale, light grayish malachite green skin, light amaranthish gray hair and grayish turquoise hair and mustache. He wore a blue sweater and beige pants. Mrs. Shy was a woman with pale, light grayish amber skin, moderate raspberry hair and moderate cerise eyes. She also wore a yellow pearl necklace, green glasses and a yellow dress. "Hello, mom and dad," said Fluttershy.
"Hello, Fluttershy," said Mrs. Shy.
"So, where is your new pet?" asked Mr. Shy.
"Here she is," said Fluttershy as she stepped aside. Fifi stepped forward.
"Bonjour," said Fifi.
"Oh. She's so adorable," said Mrs. Shy.
"Merci," said Fifi, blushing. The moving company workers moved all of Fifi's stuff into a room in Fluttershy's house that would now be her own, personal bedroom. While they were doing that, Fluttershy was giving Fifi a nice, hot bath to clean off the junkyard smell. The bath was just right, unlike the hot, scalding baths that Elmyra gives her pets. The two began to converse as Fluttershy bathed Fifi. "I never saw you een Acme Acres before until now. Are you actually a resident of Acme Acres?" asked Fifi.
"Not originally. I was born in a city called Canterlot. My family moved to this city when my dad got a new job here. One of my friends from Canterlot, Rainbow Dash also lives here too," said Fluttershy.
"What do you do for a leeving other zan going to school?" asked Fifi.
"I help out at the local animal shelter. The animals love me. And the workers say that I'm their best helper," said Fluttershy.
"I see," said Fifi. After being bathed, Fifi dried herself with a bath towel. "How do I smell?" asked Fifi. Fluttershy smelled Fifi.
"That junkyard smell is all gone. Now you smell nicer when you're not letting off your skunk fumes," said Fluttershy.
"Merci," said Fifi. Fifi went to relax in her new room. Right now, she was reading one of her romance novels. Just then, she heard a knock on the door. "Come een," said Fifi. The one entering was Fluttershy.
"Hello, Fifi. I take it that you're settled in your new room?" asked Fluttershy.
"Oui. Eet's nice to relax on a real bed," said Fifi.
"How's about I introduce you to my other pets?" asked Fluttershy.
"Sure," said Fifi. Fluttershy led Fifi downstairs. She led the purple skunkette into a room where she kept her other pets. Besides Jewel the Dalmatian, there was a small white bunny. Plus, Fluttershy owned a female terrier with grayish-brown fur and a blue collar. There was also a blue cat with a pink stripe with and purple spots. He also had pale green eyes with orange pupils. In addition, she owned a mammalian, quadrupedal creature with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar were cream-colored. It had short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. It had brown eyes, long pointed ears with dark brown interiors, and a small black nose. She also owned a small red bird and a white kitten with a blue bow.
"Other than Jewel and you, my other pets include my pet rabbit, Angel. This blue cat here is Gary," said Fluttershy. Gary meowed hello to Fifi. "This dog here is Justin," said Fluttershy. Justin barked hello.
"What kind of animal ees zat?" asked Fifi, pointing to the brown mammal.
"Oh, her. She's a type of creature called a Pokémon. They're creatures with amazing powers and abilities. This particular one is called an Eevee," said Fluttershy.
"Eevee," said the creature.
"Everybody, this is our newest member of the pet family, Fifi La Fume," said Fluttershy.
"Bonjour," said Fifi, waving at Fluttershy's other pets. Fluttershy's other pets began to talk to Fifi.
"So, why did Fluttershy adopt you?" asked Justin.
"Fluttershy and I saved her life," said Jewel.
"From who?" asked Angel.
"From a pet obsessive girl named Elmyra Duff. She and I go to ze school of Acme Looniversity along with several other toons. I am ze protégé of Pepé Le Pew, while she ees ze protégé of Elmer Fudd. She may love animals, but she has ze mentality of a toddler and ees unaware of ze abuse she inflicts on zem. Some have died due to her obliviousness. Elmyra zought I was a cat and wanted to make moi her pet by all means necessary. She even had ze gall to impersonate Pepé to lure me out. Just when eet looks like zere was no hope for moi, Jewel came along and attacked her. Fluttershy scared Elmyra away with some stare ahnd she decided to adopt moi to keep moi safe," explained Fifi.
"Elmyra's idiocy is nothing compared to my previous owner," said Gary.
"And who was your previous owner?" asked Fifi.
"JimBob, a fry cook who used to work at a restaurant called the Trusty Slab, run by his cheapskate of a boss, Eugene H. Slabs. He may be a good fry cook, but he's a man child and has caused a lot of trouble outside of work," said Gary.
"What do you mean?" asked Fifi.
"You see, along with his best friend, Patrick have a bad obsession with their next door neighbor, Mr. Manward. They drive him bonkers with their antics. It got so bad that they caused him to move out of town. As for why I'm living with Fluttershy now, it's all because he adopted what he thought was a cute pet, he named Fluffy Puffy. But as it turned out, this creature was actually an escaped genetic experiment that kills other animals. And the trouble it caused at JimBob's home, JimBob blamed me for it," said Gary.
"Zat's terrible!" said Fifi.
"I know. I tried to tell him I was innocent, even after I chased the monster away, but he wouldn't listen. It got bad to the point he started hitting me. But it was lucky for me that Fluttershy and her family were in town along with a girl with rainbow colored hair named Rainbow Dash. When they saw I was in trouble, they leapt into action. Fluttershy snatched me away from him. She started to scold JimBob for his bad behavior, but he wouldn't listen. He hit Fluttershy with a karate strike," said Gary. Fifi gasped when she heard that. "Just when it looked like JimBob was going to hurt Fluttershy real bad, the rainbow haired girl attacked him and beat the snot out of him. She even scarred his face with the spikes on her soccer cleats," said Gary.
"Le ouch," said Fifi, cringing at the thought of it.
"Afterwards, there was a trial at court and JimBob made a fool out of himself, claiming that the real reason why the girls sided with Gary was because he thought women were very stupid. But that got him beaten up real bad. Mr. Slabs, sided with JimBob in the court case just because he didn't want to lose his fry cook. But the people used this an excuse to get him jailed since he did crimes even worse than his employee and his rival in the restaurant world, Sheldon J. Charleston, owner of the Crumb Basket. In the end, both JimBob and Mr. Slabs were found guilty and locked in Davey Jones' Locker Penitentiary for life. The Trusty Slab came under new management from a new less greedy person. As for me, Fluttershy adopted me and I'm happier living with her," said Gary.
"You are right about one theeng, JimBob ees stupider zan Elmyra. He even denies evidence when eet's een hees face," said Fifi.
"Which is why I'm glad he's locked up for good," said Gary.
"I was also a rescued animal," said Eevee.
"What's your story?" asked Fifi.
"You see, a lot of Pokémon are known to evolve into a stronger form. My species are well known for being able to evolve into eight different evolutions. My type is Normal-type, but I change type depending on what I evolve into. I can into either the Water-type Vaporeon, the Electric-Type Jolteon, the Fire-type Flareon, the Psychic-type Espeon, the Dark-type Umbreon, the Grass-type Leafeon, the Ice-type Glaceon and the Fairy-type Sylveon. I was captured by the criminal organization known as Team Rocket. They experimented on me so that I'd have the ability to change in between all my evolutions. I managed to escape the lab and ran into not just Fluttershy, but also a group of Pokémon Trainers and a Pikachu. They managed to fight off Team Rocket with their Pokémon and the boy with the Pikachu asked Fluttershy to take care of me. And I've been living with Fluttershy ever since," said Eevee.
"I see," said Fifi. She turned to Justin. "Were you a rescued animal?" asked Fifi.
"No. I was adopted by Fluttershy from a puppy sale. My great grandfather were the dogs named Lady and Tramp. I happen to have traits from both ancestors," said Justin.
"I see," said Fifi.
"Elmyra Dumb, JerkBob and Team Rocket are all saints compared to who I was rescued from when I was a puppy. Although it was my parents who rescued me, and Fluttershy adopted me once I grew up," said Jewel.
"Who deed your parents rescue you from ze clutches of?" asked Fifi.
"The one they call . . . Cruella DeVil," said Jewel. Most of Fluttershy's pets shuddered hearing that name.
"I've read about zat devil woman. Eef you know her, zat means . . . you're one of ze famous 101 Dalmatians!" cried Fifi.
"That's right. Then if you read about her, you know she was the head of now defunct fashion company of the House of DeVil. She tried to kill me and my fourteen siblings along with eighty-four other puppies to use our pelts to make a fur coat. But my parents, Pongo and Perdita along with some other animals worked together to defeat her along with her goons, Jasper & Horace Badun and her furrier; Skinner. After the four were sent to jail, the other eighty-four pups became part of our family. When I got older, the Dearlys sold us to new people. Fluttershy's family happened to be visiting London at that time. So Fluttershy adopted me and I've been living in Canterlot," said Jewel.
"Already, I'm sharing something een common with some of you, which ees zat some of us were rescued from abusive people," said Fifi.
"What is your goal in life, Fifi?" asked Justin.
"I want to find ma true love. But zere are so few boy skunks een Acme Acres," said Fifi.
"Maybe you need to think outside your species," said Jewel.
"Whaht do you mean?" asked Fifi.
"Isn't there a boy who isn't a skunk that you like?" asked Gary.
"Well, zere's Hamton Pig, ze protégé of Porky Pig. He once asked moi out to ze prom one night. But we haven't gone on any other dates yet. Zere's also Furrball ze Cat, protégé of Sylvester. I find heem cute, but I haven't been able to go on a date with heem at all," said Fifi.
"Why not?" asked Jewel.
"First theeng zat's preventing moi ees zat Furrball ees Elmyra's pet cat. And Elmyra has forbidden heem from dating moi or any other girl unless ze girl ees one of her pets," explained Fifi.
"That's not fair!" said Eevee.
"I know. And zat's nothing compared to what's really forbidding moi from having a romantic relationship with Furrball," said Fifi.
"What do you mean?" asked Gary.
"I don't know eef you experienced eet firsthand, Gary. But here een Acme Acres, cats are treated weeth extreme prejudice. People view zem as bird, fish and mice eating monsters due to how zey're portrayed as villains een cartoons. Furrball ees always getting picked on by everybody and he's suffered from Elmyra's abuse ze most," said Fifi.
"Haven't you done anything to help him?" asked Jewel.
"No. Cause eef any Acme Loo student showed sympathy or defended a cat, he or she would be expelled," said Fifi.
"Who told you these things?" asked Jewel.
"Eet was Sweetie Pie, Tweety Bird's protégé," said Fifi.
"If you ask me, she's probably lying to everybody," said Gary. Just then, everybody heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll get it," said Fluttershy. She went to the door and opened it to see who it was. It was black & white male skunk who was taller than Fifi. "Can I help you?" asked Fluttershy.
"Oui. I am Pepé Le Pew. I heard zat you rescued my protégé, Fifi La Fume. Ees she here?" asked Pepé.
Fifi has now been officially adopted by Fluttershy and is now going to be living with her as her newest pet. Plus, she has met Fluttershy's other pets. The Eevee being experimented on by Team Rocket to switch between evolutions is a nod to the one from the Pokémon Adventures Manga. As you also read, she adopted Gary. For in this fanfiction, the events of the loathed episode, "A Pal for Gary" are mentioned and the human version of SpongeBob, JimBob faced consequences for his actions along with Mr. Slabs (Human Mr. Krabs). A flashback of how Fluttershy saved and adopted Gary will be shown in a later chapter. Plus, as you just read, the reason why nobody has stood up for Furrball yet was because of Sweetie lying that they'll be expelled if they do. Next chapter will be when Elmyra faces justice in court . . .
