"And ever since we pawned Plucky off as the Easter Bunny to Elmyra, guilt built up inside me and I felt guilty about it ever since." Buster finished. "Even if I was to apologise to him now, I doubt he would forgive me."
He had been explaining to Babs why he had helped Plucky back in Safety City and the guilt he developed after the events of that Spring Break they went on. Babs looked absolutely astonished at Buster's explanation.
"Y-you're right." She said. "What should we do?"
"I don't know, Babs." Buster sighed. "I would apologise but I don't think he'd listen. This is Plucky we're talking about. We both know how stubborn he is. His stubbornness matches Elmyra's love for animals."
"Maybe I could try to talk to him." Offered Babs. "I could maybe get through to him."
"You could try." Buster replied. "I'm gonna check the radio stations, maybe we'll find a station that's playing the songs we played."
"Like the Name Game?" Babs asked.
"Don't ever bring that up again." Buster replied.
"But-" Babs said.
"DON'T EVER BRING THAT UP AGAIN!" Buster yelled.
Babs looked visibly startled before she went to talk to Plucky while Buster browsed through the various radio stations.
"Plucky, could we talk?" Babs asked.
"About what?" Plucky asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Just come with me." Babs requested.
As Babs lead Plucky to the other side of the mobile home, Furrball sat next to Shirley, who immediately spoke to him telepathically.
"Like, Hamton talked to you about your shyness around girls, didn't he?" Shirley asked telepathically.
"Exactly." Furrball replied, speaking with his mind which Shirley managed to hear. "And I have something for you for being so kind to me."
Furrball began hugging Shirley which caused the psychic loon to smile and gentle pat Furrball's head.
"It's totally nice to see that you're becoming more confident." She said.
Fifi rested her head on Hamton's shoulder.
"Eet looks like mon petit bacon of bits ees even more generous zhan I knew." She said lovingly.
Hamton smiled and kissed Fifi's head.
"All the better to make my friends happy." He said. "Especially you."
Meanwhile, Babs took Plucky to the other end of the mobile home away from the rest of the Tiny Toons.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Plucky asked.
Babs looked at Plucky meaningfully in the eyes.
"Have a seat." Babs said.
Plucky sat next to Babs.
"Plucky, there's something I need to tell you." Babs said, sincerely. "It's about Bu-"
"Breaking news!" Blared the radio station. "The city known as Backbreak Town is under attack! It is being attached by strange shadow creatures thay are draining the tooniness of the residents! Thee is also a large muscular dog breaking the bones of anyone he gets his hands on! Witnesses report seeing what appeared to be a deer in a metal helmet trying to fight of the shadow creatures and the big dog! More on the story as it develops."
"What the duck?!" Exclaimed Plucky.
"More shadow creatures?!" Exclaimed Buster.
"Large muscular dog?!" Exclaimed Calamity.
"Deer in a metal helmet?" Asked Furrball.
"Condiments on hotdogs cost extra?!" Exclaimed Hamton.
The other Tiny Toons looked at Hamton who gave a sheepish smile.
"Hammy, can you try to not think of food for a moment?!" Exclaimed Plucky. "That is, if your mind isn't focused on food, cleaning, or the skunk who might try to steal you from me and my friendship with you!"
Fifi looked taken aback from Plucky's words. Is that why Plucky was so bitter about her relationship with Hamton? She would have to have a word with him when she could.
"Plucky, listen to moi." She said. "I love Hamton and Hamton loves moi. But despite zhat, I know Hamton very well, and 'e would never abandon vou."
"Exactly." Hamton agreed. "Contrary to the beliefs of some people, you're my best friend."
Plucky didn't know what to say at first. He then figured something out to change the subject before things got too mushy for him.
"I say we go to that city and investigate!" He said. "We fought off those shadow things before, we can do so again!"
"I'm with you, Plucky!" Proclaimed Lil Sneezer.
"Of course you'd take his side!" Sweetie snapped.
"Still bitter about that moment at Safety City?" Asked Calamity. "Jeez Sweetie, let that go. Sneezer was just standing by Plucky."
"Exactly." Lil Sneezer confirmed. "Plucky is my idol, and has been for the longest time. I still have that jersey he gave me when they played against Perfecto Prep. I remember that game like it was yesterday. I really did think he was going to betray you guys for Perfecto Prep, but I should've known it was part of the plan because Plucky is the greatest ever! Uh-huh, uh-huh!"
"Like, Sneezer, we totally get that you're Plucky's biggest fan, but could you tone down on the fast talking or some junk?" Shirley requested.
"Sorry, Miss Shirley lady." Lil Sneezer replied.
"Just Shirley will suffice fer sure." Shirley replied.
"Next stop: Backbreak Town!" Announced Buster, changing the direction to Backbreak Town.
On the way, the Tiny Toons changed into their Just-Us League attires so they could be ready to combat the shadow creatures and the giant muscly dog.
"You don't think this giant dog is going to look similar to a dog we know, do you?" Calamity asked. "Because the last few villains we faced looked similar to toons we know."
"Are you referring to a certain dog with big muscles and wears sunglasses?" Buster asked.
"The one who tried to eat before after Furrball fixed his eating urges to eat birds?" Sweetie asked.
"You did that to me so I'd eat Pitbulls." Furrball replied.
"It's true, you did do that." Said Little Beeper.
All the while, Byron was sleeping so Buster and Babs had to change him into his AquaMutt attire, and then shake him awake.
"Woof!" Barked Byron, standing at attention.
The moment they opened the door of the mobile home, a shadow creature attacked. It released a ray at BatDuck before SuperBun knocked it away with a single punch.
"How do you feel, BatDuck?" Asked SuperBun.
"I feel weird." BatDuck replied. "But I can still fight! Because I'm BatDuck!"
Decoy looked uncertain at BatDuck's words, as he remembered that the news said that the shadow creatures can drain the tooniness of others.
"Like, let's get them!" Said HawkLoon, brandishing her mace.
Scentana used her tail to omit a magic kind of odor, the like of which only the shadow creatures could smell, while the Just-Us League could not only not smell it, but see through it.
"I didn't know you could do that." Said Decoy.
"Mon amour, zhere ees much for vou to learn from moi." Scentana replied.
"What, what did you want to talk to me about?" BatDuck asked Wonder Babs.
"I'll explain later!" Said Wonder Babs. "For now, we've got some fighting to do!"
However, the magic odor Scentana released had an effect on Sneezeam's nose. The odor began to irritate his nose, causing a sneeze to build up in Sneezeam's nostrils.
"I think this magic odor is causing my nostrils to prepare a sneeze, Miss Scentana." He said.
"Everyone, hit the deck!" SuperBun yelled.
The sneeze that Sneezeam released caused the magic odor to become electrified, which electrified the shadow creatures and Little Dasher, who was standing in the cloud, examining his shoes.
"We have got to get him to sneeze more often." Said Lean Lantern. "His sneezes are quite helpful in this form of his."
"Woof." Said AquaMutt, in agreement.
"Not when they also danger us." Said Little Dasher, shaking the soot off him.
Suddenly, they heard a large crash near them and felt the area shake. They turned to the source of the whole thing and were face-to-face with who appeared to be Arnold the Pitbull, except there was a lot of black on him. Black mask (with a white pattern and red eyes under his sunglasses), black gloves, black attire, and black boots. On the back and arms of the attire was strange vials filled with a mysterious liquid that was linked to his arms.
"I am Dane!" Roared the figure of Arnold.
"You can't be a Dane." Said BatDuck. "You look more like a Pitbull."
"Dane is my name!" Roared the big muscular dog. "I've been breaking all these residents, and now I'll break you too!"
BatDuck, with the shadow creature blasting him gone from his mind, let out a confident chuckle.
"You can't break us!" He said. "We're toons."
"Oh really?" Smiled Dane. "Well I saw one of those shadow creatures blasting you with that ray! That ray was designed to absorb the tooniness from toons, making them vulnerable!"
"Holy Bat-Tooniness, BatDuck!" Exclaimed Decoy.
Everyone looked at Decoy again.
"Reel it in, Decoy." Said BatDuck.
"I saw it in a movie and thought it would be fitting." Explained Decoy.
Bane stomped on the ground, causing a large boulder to go flying from the ground into the air. Bane caught the boulder and held it over his head.
"Time for me to rock you!" He yelled.
"Aw, that wasn't even clever!" Exclaimed Wonder Babs.
SuperBun used his heat vision to slice the boulder in half, causing both halves to fall on Dane's head.
"How's that for a splitting headache?" Chuckled SuperBun.
"How's THIS for a splitting headache?!" Yelled Dane.
He grabbed SuperBun by the cape and began spinning him around.
"Oh no you don't!" Yelled Little Dasher.
He dashed over and delivered a swift kick to the below-the-belt area. He expected Dane to be defeated then and there, but Dane looked visibly undamaged. Aside from the throbbing pain that was now in Little Dasher's foot, Dane glared at Little Dasher, causing sweat to rain from his head.
"Oh no." He said, weakly.
Dane started using SuperBun as a club and whacked Little Dasher. Wonder Babs tried to gain the upper hand over Dane by tying him up with her lasso, only for Dane to whack Wonder Babs into a nearby building before she could even get halfway through tying him up.
"Like, nobody messes with my friend!" Yelled HawkLoon, getting out her mace.
She whacked Dane on the head with her mace, only to end up shaking and wobbling.
"HawkLoon!" Exclaimed Lean Lantern.
He used his ring to conjure a giant fist which he used to knock Dane across the area.
"You mess with HawkLoon, you mess with me!" Yelled Lean Lantern.
HawkLoon looked at Lean Lantern admiringly as Pink Canary flew over to Dane.
"Let's see how strong your chemicals are." She said. "Are they sound proof?"
She was about to let out her supersonic scream, only for Dane to shove a rock in her mouth.
"Allow me to show you puny weaklings true strength!" Yelled Dane.
He threw Pink Canary into Lean Lantern, charged at Keen Arrow despite the various arrows launched at him, and turned to Scentana, Decoy, and Wonder Babs who were warding off more shadow creatures.
"Time to be the bane of your existence!" He bellowed.
BatDuck noticed Dane charge at the three, and dashed to be in front of them.
"You wanna get to them, you'll have to go through me!" He yelled.
"That can be arranged!" Smiled Dane.
As quick as a flash, Dane threw BatDuck into the air, leapt up, grabbed BatDuck, and slammed him back-first onto his knee as he landed. A very loud "CRACK" was heard before BatDuck let out a scream of pain so loud, it caused the entire town to shake.
"BatDuck!" Yelled SuperBun.
BatDuck fell to the ground, completely immobilised as the other members of the Just-Us League rushed to him. Dane looked triumphant.
"Now that his tooniness is drained and his back is broken, all of you are next!" Cackled Dane. "Get them!"
More shadow creatures appeared as Dane summoned them. When it seemed like they were surrounded, a large rocket was blasted. It blasted away the shadow creatures and even Dane got knocked back. The Just-Us League turned and saw who appeared to be Vinnie the Deer, except he was wearing a silver metal helmet that covered half his face, showing his eyes and nose. He was wearing a red uniform with a yellow centre, blue gloves, beige pants, and black boots. In the yellow centre on his uniform and helmet, there appeared to be a symbol that looked like a mighty bird, like an eagle.
"How does peace taste?" He asked. "I bet it tastes like broccoli!"
"Who are you?" Asked Wonder Babs.
"The names PeaceDeer." Said the deer. "Been making peace in this town since 1969. I've subdued Bane long enough to help get your friend to the hospital."
The Just-Us League and PeaceDeer helped BatDuck to the hospital where tons of other residents of the city were.
"That ray the shadow creature blasted me with, was it the only that drained me of my tooniness?" Asked BatDuck.
"I'm afraid so." Said PeaceDeer. "Those butthead shadow creatures have been draining these residents of their tooniness so Bane could injure them. He hasn't caught me because I'm too cool for him to catch."
Decoy was barely listening. His mind was mainly focused on the fact that BatDuck had saved him. Scentana had taken Decoy aside.
"Do vou remember what 'e said earlier?" She asked him.
"About him being worried I'll forget about him because of my relationship with you?" Asked Decoy. "If so, yes."
"Perhaps I was wrong about heem." Said Scentana. "Perhaps I should apologize."
"You know what? This sidekick is becoming a partner who looks out for his friends, especially his girlfriend and best friend!" Announced Decoy. "Everyone, wait here! I'll be right back!"
Decoy walked into the bathroom of the hospital, and walked out a couple of minutes later wearing a new attire. His attire was a black attire that covered his entire body from the neck down. In the chest area was a blue symbol of a pig. He was also wearing a black pig-shaped eye mask, and was wielding two objects that looked like batons.
"D-Decoy?" Asked BatDuck.
"I'm not Decoy anymore." Came the reply from the former pig hostage. "From now on, I'm NightHog."
"You know, he looks really cool in that attire." Commented SuperBun.
Scentana certainly agreed. She stared at NightHog with hearts floating above her head.
"After what BatDuck did, I'm gonna stop being the pig hostage and work on being a hero who stands by his friends no matter what." Said NightHog. "Starting now, goodbye Decoy the pig hostage, hello NightHog the partner of BatDuck."
BatDuck's jaw dropped, whether with amazement or bewilderment it was hard to tell.
"Are those new batons?" Asked Lean Lantern.
"Yeah, they can be attacked together and they're electrifying." Said NightHog. "Let's see if these work against Dane."
"I tried electric weapons before." Said PeaceDeer. "They weren't exactly that good against him."
"What else did you try?" Asked Pink Canary.
"I tried guns, explosive, booby traps, and even a butfor." Said PeaceDeer.
"A butfor?" Asked Sneezeam. "What's a butfor?"
"Hold it!" Exclaimed Wonder Babs. "We heard this joke back in Safety City!"
"For farting, silly." Said PeaceDeer.
"Well, that was worded differently but it still stands!" Said Wonder Babs.
"Give it a rest, Bar- I mean Wonder Babs." Said SuperBun.
"Don't call me that." Growled Wonder Babs. "Not here or anywhere!"
"Now let's go take on those shadow creatures and Dane before he injures another fifty people." Said PeaceDeer.
Suddenly, fifty people were admitted into the hospital.
"Too late." Sighed PeaceDeer.
The Just-Us League went to take on Dane while Scentana stayed behind and approached BatDuck.
"BatDuck, I owe vou an apology." She said.
"Say what?" Asked BatDuck, looking visibly confused.
"Back een Safety City, I told Dec- I mean NightHog zhat vou are not a good friend." Explained Scentana. "But after seeing what vou did for moi, heem, and Wonder Babs, I got zhe feeling zhat I was wrong about vou."
"Just because I'm an egotistical green duck, doesn't mean I look out for my friends." Said BatDuck. "I know I act like I'm better than others at times, but more often than not, I like to goof off and have fun with my friends."
Scentana looked at BatDuck with a proud expression.
"I like zhis side of vou." She said.
"But what I said when I found out you two are together still stands." Said BatDuck. "You hurt my boy, NightHog, you answer to me."
Scentana let out a giggle.
"Vou know, eet ees actually sweet seeing vou care about heem zhis much." She giggled.
"Yeah, yeah." Grumbled BatDuck, looking visibly embarrassed.
"Do vou need moi to get vou anyzhing before I go?" Asked Scentana.
"Well, I would like to watch some TV." Said BatDuck. "And a bag of chips would be nice too."
Meanwhile, the Just-Us League fought through various shadow creatures to find Dane, making sure to avoid any toon-draining rays so they don't end up like BatDuck. NightHog was proving to be most skilled with his new batons, he even used them to hurl a shadow creature into a wall.
"This is for BatDuck!" He yelled.
He then attached his batons together, and used them as a pole vault to launch himself onto another shadow creature, and wedgie them by pulling their underpants, much to the amusement of the other Just-Us League members and especially PeaceDeer.
"So, what powers do you have?" SuperBun asked PeaceDeer.
"All my powers rest in this helmet of mine." Smiled PeaceDeer. "Observe. Missile!"
PeaceDeer started to glow blue before he was launched headfirst into rows of shadow creatures, knocking them over like bowling pins.
"Strike!" Exclaimed PeaceDeer.
An even bigger shadow creature appeared which Wonder Babs used her lasso to restrain and pin to the ground.
"Gah! I once ate a donut out of a toilet!" Exclaimed the shadow creature.
The Just-Us League looked visibly disgusted before Scentana approached them after throwing three more shadow creatures into the air with her tail.
"I 'ad a talk wizh BatDuck." She said. "I do not zhink I will 'ave to worry about heem being jealous anymore."
"That's great, honey." Said NightHog.
"You mind if I go talk to him?" Asked Wonder Babs. "I wanted to talk to him earlier but didn't get the chance to."
"Go right ahead, Wonder Babs-y." Replied SuperBun. "Do you have your invisible plane?"
"Yeah, but I can fly." Replied Wonder Babs before she took to the skies.
"So why do you have an invisible plane?" SuperBun called out to her.
At the hospital, BatDuck was doing some channel surfing while eating his fifth bag of chips.
"Breaking news! I have lost my wallet!"
(Click)
"I can't believe you cheated on me fifty times!"
(Click)
"And now, a movie about letters."
(Click)
"Help! Someone stole my pants!"
(Click)
"We now return to a music video starring pictures of chickens."
(Click)
"Ugh, there's nothing on!" Groaned BatDuck. "And I ran out of chips again! Having a broken back sucks a-"
Before he could finish, Wonder Babs walked into the room.
"BatDuck, how's it going?" She asked.
"Oh, you know, having a broke back, ran out of chips again, cannot find a single good TV channel." Replied BatDuck. "I've already watched three soap opera episodes of three different soap operas, two music videos that both primarily feature mud, and a movie about a bicycle learning to fly and swim."
Wonder Babs looked at BatDuck as if he was speaking an entirely different language.
"Okay..." She replied. "Anyways, earlier today I said I wanted to talk to you."
"Does the talk have anything to do with various cheeses or how to tell if the stars in the sky are watching you sleep?" BatDuck asked.
"No." Wonder Babs replied, looking astonished by BatDuck's question.
"Then go ahead and tell me what you're here to tell me." Replied BatDuck, sounding relieved.
Wonder Babs sat next to BatDuck's hospital bed and began talking to him.
"It's about that one spring break we went on." She sighed.
BatDuck immediately looked a lot less okay with the talk, and moved his hand towards the button that summons the nurse.
"Wait!" She exclaimed, stopping BatDuck from pressing the button. "I know you don't wanna talk about it but please listen. I'm here to speak for myself and not for Buster."
BatDuck looked back and forth between Wonder Babs and the button.
"This had better be good." He growled. "Or you'll be begging for my broken back to be permanent."
Wonder Babs looked BatDuck directly in the eyes, and began speaking.
"I wish what happened there happened differently." She said, meaningfully. "I know your ego can be a bit much, but at the end of the day, you're still our friend, still my friend. Neither Buster nor myself knew what to do in that circumstance and Elmyra's care, if you can even call it that, goes several steps beyond animal abuse."
"Tell me something I don't know." Groaned BatDuck with a roll of his eyes.
"And that's not even mentioning that girl you met there." Wonder Babs continued. "She left you for Hamton for seemingly no reason. Let me tell you this: if she gained an interest in another guy for no good reason, she doesn't deserve you. You should be with a girl who loves you for you, and won't randomly gain an interest in another guy."
BatDuck looked absolutely baffled by Wonder Babs' words. He considered them carefully.
"All I can say is that I'm deeply sorry for what happened to you and what me and Buster did." Wonder Babs continued. "We were wrong. It's not nice to see Elmyra happy because she doesn't deserve it. When we get home, I'll make it up to you. We could trick Elmyra into doing stupid and dangerous stuff."
BatDuck chuckled at Wonder Babs' suggestion.
"I'd like that." He chuckled. "Besides, she's a toon. She'll shake it off."
"I'm glad you agree." Smiled Wonder Babs. "I've gotta go. Thanks for listening and I hope you recover sooner rather than later. The Just-Us League needs its duck knight to help us fight off those creatures."
She then planted a kiss on BatDuck's cheek before she exited the room. BatDuck looked absolutely stunned not just at Wonder Babs' apology, but the kiss on the cheek she gave him. He didn't know whether to wipe his cheek or not.
"Coming up next: Tiny Toons Looniversity." Said the TV. "The episode airing will be General Hog-spital."
Meanwhile, the Just-Us League had finally found Dane again as Wonder Babs flew back over to them.
"I talked to Plu- BatDuck." She said.
"What did he say?" Asked SuperBun.
"I'll explain later." Said Wonder Babs. "For now we gotta deal with him."
"Have you come to join your duck friend in the hospital?" Dane asked smugly.
"No." Replied PeaceDeer. "We've come so I can stick this explosive rocket in your-"
"But you've gotta let me go!" BatDuck said to the nurse. "My friends need me."
"Sorry, Mr BatDuck." Said the nurse. "But your back hasn't healed yet. It may take a long time for your back to heal since your tooniness has been drained."
"Then how do I get my tooniness back?!" Asked BatDuck.
"I don't know." Said the nurse. "Try."
"Gee, thanks for the help." Said BatDuck, sarcastically.
"You're welcome." Replied the nurse as she walked out of the room.
BatDuck sulked as he continued watching Tiny Toons Looniversity. He saw the moment where the other toons recovered thanks to their laughter.
"Jeez, the Buster in this reboot is such a baby in this episode." He groaned. "But that laughter... wait, that's it! If I can make myself laugh, I could heal myself and all these patients! And I know exactly how to do that. I'll need to get out of here, but how?"
He grabbed the microphone that summons the nurse.
"Nurse, the people behind TMZ are coming near the hospital again!" He lied.
In the hallways there was a frantic commotion as doctors and nurses ran across the hallways. Seeing the opportunity to escape, BatDuck climbed out of his hospital bed and out of the window. He fell and landed on the ground, as most people who climb out of windows would.
"Gah!" He exclaimed when he hit the ground. "I fell on my spleen!"
Dane was already getting the upper hand over the Just-Us League with his brute strength alone, even without the shadow creatures draining their tooniness. Keen Arrow tried launching arrows at Dane, but the arrows just bounce off him, so he tried to shoot the vials that contain the chemicals, but Dane is too quick and caught each arrow.
"Too slow, weakling!" Dane bellowed before throwing Keen Arrow into Little Dasher, Sneezeam, Scentana, and AquaMutt.
"Nobody messes with our friends!" Exclaimed Lean Lantern and HawkLoon together.
Lean Lantern used his ring to conjure a large hammer while HawkLoon got out her mace again. They brought those two weapons crashing onto Dane, only to face the same results HawkLoon faced when she tried to whack him with her mace earlier.
"He's too strong!" Exclaimed SuperBun. "What do we do?!"
"I'll tell you what you do!" Said Dane. "You can-"
Suddenly, Dane's voice began to turn more squeaky and high-pitched.
"-be crushed by my giant muscles!" Continued Dane in a high-pitched voice.
The Just-Us League began laughing hysterically upon hearing Dane's squeaky voice.
"Hey! What is this?!" Squeaked Dane. "Why is my voice so squeaky?! Which of you puny weaklings did this?!"
The Just-Us League were laughing too hard to answer, let alone see the one responsible for Dane's squeaky voice.
"Stop laughing right now!" Demanded Dane.
Suddenly, a hand came from behind Dane and snagged his belt from around his waist, causing his pants to fall down, exposing his undergarments, which has prints of dog bones on it, causing the Just-Us League to laugh even harder.
"Who is doing this?!" Snapped Dane, his face turning red from embarrassment and fury.
From behind Dane came BatDuck, limping from his back being broken.
"They say that laughter is the best medicine." He said. "And it's time I earned myself a healed back!"
He pulled out a series of cameras which showcased Dane's humiliation live throughout the entire town. The town erupted with laughter from the people both of have been injured and who haven't. The ones in the hospital managed to recover from their injuries after being supplied the laughter medicine, especially BatDuck.
"Stop it!" Dane yelled, his voice still squeaky. "STOOOOOOOP IIIIIIIT!"
With his body turning entirely red, Dane suddenly exploded from fury, much to the surprise of everyone, especially the Just-Us League. Before any of them can say anything, Arnold the Pitbull walked out of the town's gym with Arnolda next to him.
"What a workout." Said Arnold. "Sixteen whole hours too."
Arnolda noticed the Just-Us League.
"Hey, something about you lot look familiar." She said. "Haven't I seen you before? Like at a prom?"
"Uhhh, no." Lied SuperBun.
Arnold gave a look of suspicion, especially when he saw Keen Arrow.
"Hey, you look familiar." He said. "You look like that one coyote who was a lifeguard at my pool."
Keen Arrow fired an amnesia arrow at Arnold's head before he and the other members of the Just-Us League took off in a hurry. Later that day, the Just-Us League were being thanked by the city's king and queen, who were no longer in body casts.
"And among all these heroes who saved us, PeaceDeer has stayed with us the longest while this brave duck has found the cure for our injuries and lost tooniness." Announced the king.
"For that, I believe they deserve a high honor, especially the duck." Added the queen.
The queen started approaching BatDuck, who got on one knee, expecting to be knighted. But what the queen did was much different from anything the other members of the Just-Us League, let alone BatDuck, could've expected. She leaned forward and kissed BatDuck's cheek. BatDuck didn't know how to act at first, he was completely immobilised with surprise.
"Heh, look at you, BatDuck." Chuckled SuperBun.
"Yeah, a kiss from a Queen." Agreed Little Dasher. "How lucky you are."
"Way to go, BatDude." Chuckled PeaceDeer, delivering a friendly fist bump to BatDuck's shoulder.
"If there is anything I can do for you, name it." Said the king.
BatDuck snapped out of his stance, looked at Wonder Babs, then back at the king. He whispered something in the king's ear.
"Consider it done." Said the king.
The king handed BatDuck a parcel that was wrapped in wrapping paper. PeaceDeer told the Just-Us League that he will be staying behind.
"You never know when some other douchebag could attack this city." He explained. "But when you're in danger again, I'll be there in less time than it takes for me to say: activate Sonic Blast!"
PeaceDeer clamped his mouth shut before he started glowing blue again. Suddenly, a sonic boom burst around PeaceDeer, and knocked the Just-Us League in different directions.
"Oops." Said PeaceDeer, sheepishly.
Later, they were back in the mobile home, back on the road, and changed out of their Just-Us League attires.
"It's getting pretty late." Said Buster. "We should look for a place to sleep for the night."
"Woof." Said Byron, looking like he agrees.
"Perhaps we could in the next city." Said Sweetie.
"Shirley?" Asked Furrball.
"Furrball?" Asked Shirley.
"You were amazing." They both said simultaneously.
"Wow, she's been nice to me and she's really cool." Furrball thought to himself. "Not to mention she kissed me back in Safety City."
"Furrball is totally sweet and kind, and he saved me back in Safety City." Shirley thought to herself.
Both of them started to blush as they looked away from each other while thinking of one another. Plucky approached Hamton and Fifi.
"Hammy, me and Fifi had a talk." He said. "We both find your new hero personality cool. And I'm done being jealous. As long as you two are happy, that's the important thing."
"Thanks Plucky." Smiled Hamton.
He and Fifi began friendly hugging Plucky.
"Okay, get off me before I call the cops." Chuckled Plucky.
"Plucky, what did vou ask zhe king for?" Asked Fifi.
"Oh, that reminds me." Said Plucky.
He walked over to Babs.
"About that talk you had with me." He said. "I asked the king for a little something for you."
"For me?" Babs asked in astonishment.
"Yep." Smiled Plucky, handing Babs the parcel.
Babs opened the parcel, half expecting the gift to be a joke gift like fake snakes in a can of peanut brittle. But what was inside the parcel surprised not just her, but everyone else, but not as much as Babs. What she pulled out of the parcel was a pair of white gloves, just about her size.
"A-are these for me?" Babs asked, her eyes widened with joy and surprise.
"Yep." Said Plucky. "Go ahead and try them on."
Babs tried on the gloves. They were soft and silky and perfectly fit her hands. A year of joy shed from her eye. She had never received gloves before. It was always Buster who wore them. She darted over to Plucky and snagged him in her arms.
"Oh Plucky, these are amazing!" She cried. "Thank you! Thank you!"
She began smothering Plucky's face in kisses, much to his, and everyone else's bewilderment. She realized what she was doing and stopped herself.
"Sorry." She chuckled with embarrassment. "I just got a bit overexcited."
"I know she talked to you about that spring break." Buster said to Plucky. "I'm sorry about that as well. But, how else was I supposed to cover the fact that I'm the Easter Bunny?"
Buster suddenly realized what he just said and clamped his mouth shut while everyone else looked at him with shocked expressions.
"Wait, you're the Easter Bunny?" Plucky asked. "And you have been the whole damn time?!"
Shirley used her psychic abilities to see inside Buster's locker, and saw the Easter eggs he keeps in there.
"It's true!" She confirmed. "Buster totally has Easter eggs in his locker fer sure!"
Buster looked visibly nervous as the shocked expressions of the other Tiny Toons turned into glares.
"You've got some nerve posing me off as the Easter Bunny when you yourself are the Easter Bunny!" Growled Plucky.
"I can't believe you did that to my hero!" Exclaimed Lil Sneezer.
"You never told me about this!" Babs yelled, slapping Buster across the face.
"C-calm down!" Buster yelled. "T-that spring break was years ago! Wh-what are you gonna do to me?"
A few minutes later, Buster found himself locked in a container full of Fifi's odor, courtesy of Fifi and Plucky.
"Gah! Get me out of here!" Buster coughed, banging on the container."
"That serves you right, rabbit!" Plucky exclaimed. "You pawned me off as the Easter Bunny while hiding that you're the Easter Bunny, and now you get to smell like rotten eggs!"
"Anyone who tries to help Buster joins heem in zhere!" Warned Fifi. "Zhat means vou, Hamton!"
As the other Tiny Toons walked away from Buster, Plucky painted something on the container Buster was trapped on as he was banging on the sides of the container trying to escape. What Plucky painted was: "Do not open until next chapter".
"Plucky!" Buster exclaimed, coughing hysterically. "You son of a bi-"
On the next story, the Tiny Toons travel to another city which is under attack from a unique threat: villainous doppelgängers of the Just-Us League. Believed to be the villains, the Just-Us League must clear their names and fight their evil counterparts. They also meet another hero who catches the interest of Little Dasher, who also catches her interest. Will they clear their names, who is this other hero? Will she and Little Dasher get along? Find out next time.
Looks like Plucky is now supportive of Hamton and Fifi's relationship, he is forming a closer bond with Babs, and now Furrball and Shirley have finally fallen in love with one another. See you next time, Toonsters.
