The Events Take Place 5 Months After The Toons Stand With Paris (By cartoonfan93)
Theme Song: Everything's Magic by Angels And Airwaves
So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic
While Brian was playing Pokemon Y battling the Battle Maison outside, Fifi La Fume and Furrball were at Fifi's room kissing each other when suddenly the news turns on
''Good morning I'm Tom Tucker with some good news. The progress on the Paris stand fundraiser has raised up to $525,000. The Paris people bought new houses to replace the broken ones from the bomb attack. We now go to Olly Williams with the Starbucks With Olly forecast. What are you doing now Olly?''
''I'M AT TARGET'' says Olly
''Do they have coffee or a Starbucks Olly?''
''YES WITH SAUSAGE BISCUITS'' says Olly
''Thanks Olly. Coming up next, The Grinch's intermission. After this''. finishes Tom Tucker as the news ends.
''Did you hear that Fifi? Over $525,000
The Paris people must be really happy by now for the support.'' says Furrball
''I know. Eet Eez Awesome. I can't believe all the money they got.'' says Fifi who was excited for the news
''Your parents must be proud of you for the fundraiser that was made'' says Furrball
''I know. I feel so happy for them too'' says Fifi
Meanwhile Brian was still playing the Battle Maison going for the Rotation Battle's Chatelaine Morgan
''Come on Morgan just let Zapdos beat you.''
Mantine gets hit with Zapdos' Thunderbolt and faints.
''Hah you can't destroy Zapdos. Just try Morgan just try. Who's next?
Brian's team was Delphox, Lucario, Zapdos and Noivern
While Morgan had Swalot Sawsbuck left after Klefki fainted from Delphox's Flamethrower attack.
''Hey Brian. Did you see the news about the fundraiser money? says Furrball
''Yeah Roger texted me about it while he was working for Jack In The Box. It's making great process so far.'' says Brian who just eliminates Sawsbuck with Delphox's Flamethrower
Then Brian suddenly gets a phone call from someone
''Hello? No this is Brian. Who's this? Really? I'll tell her right now. Hey Fifi it's your parents'' says Brian as he gives the phone to Fifi
''Ello'' says Fifi as she picks up the phone
''Ello Fifi'' says Fifi's mother
''Momma? How are vous doing?'' says Fifi excitedly
''We're doing well. We bought a new house thanks to the fundraiser money and a guy named Peter stopped by our house to give us a big paycheck'' says Fifi's mom
''He never gets me a paycheck. Thanks for nothing Peter'' says Brian quietly in a jealous mood
''Can I talk to fazher?'' says Fifi
''Sure. Honey it's Fifi'' says her mother
''Ello Fifi. How are vous?'' says Fifi's father
''Great. I'm still with Furrball and I'm living in a new house my friend Jeffrey bought 7 months ago'' says Fifi
''Vats great Fifi. I'm proud of vous for everything vou've done when involved with the Paris fundraiser with vous friends.'' says Fifi's father
''Merci you father. I feel so happy just talking about everything that's happened so far today.'' says Fifi
''I gotta go cause I gotta work on some stuff. See vous later Fifi'' says her father
''Merci father. Bye'' says Fifi who hangs up on Brian's phone and has a happy expression and goes back to her room
''Oh look another text from Roger. He got payed $25 today. Not bad but I got payed more when I worked for GameStop. So good for you Roger but you might get payed more so keep trying'' says Brian
Peter, Bender and Riley were at Foodmax getting a 2 liter of Dr Pepper and some chips for them each and for Brian Roger when they get a text from Brian about the donation process.
''$525,000? Man that's a lot of money.'' says Riley
''That's a lot more than I got payed when I worked for the Las Vegas Casino.'' says Peter
''Here's your paycheck Peter'' says a Casino employee
''$75? Oh my god thank you. Wish I would get this much respect from Chicago.'' says Peter
''Oh wait don't you wanna play some poker or play some other games or at least Gamble a little?'' says Peter
''You're missing out buddy. Eh Whatever'' says Peter as he continues to work
Jeffrey gets back from Target
''I'm back everybody. I ended up seeing Olly Williams at Starbucks too. Did you see me on the news I was 3 seats near from him. I also heard about the fundraiser from Riley. It's awesome.'' says Jeffrey
''Good for you buddy. Still have to wait for Peter the others to get back from Foodmax with the stuff you asked them to get.'' says Brian
A Few hours later at Fifi's room while Furrball and her were holding hands, Brian shows up
''Oh sorry. Is this a bad time? says Brian
''Non. It's fine come in'' says Fifi
''Alright good.'' says Brian in a relieved way
''So refresh my memory here. How did this fundraiser happen?'' says Brian
''Alright here's how it went. It was 5 months ago and moi and Furrball used to live in a Cadillac and then we got a call from Babs telling us to get together at Babs' burrow to check something bad that happened.'' said Fifi
''We came and then we saw our friends and Cosette was crying about it and we had no idea what was going on. Our friend Buster pointed to the TV and we were shocked and scared to see the news talking about the bomb attack.': says Furrball
5 Months Ago At Babs' Burrow During The Events Of The Toons Stand With Paris
''Good afternoon I'm Tom Tucker with some breaking news. A Bombing attack has apparently broke down in Paris and many people are held hostage. More on that later. Coming up next The Rise and Fall of Nirvana. After this'' says Tom Tucker on the TV.
Fifi and Furrball were shocked to see the news about Paris
"Oh mon goodness!", Fifi spoke up. "What happened?!"
"The city is being attacked", Plucky said, "in a couple of different places."
"Attacked?", asked Furrball. "By who?"
Shirley responded, "Like, by a bunch of crooks or some junk."
Cliff then said, "There's more than a few hundred people being held hostage."
"Oui", Cosette said, breaking down in tears again, "and many of zhem are...dead."
Fifi was devastated to see the place she was born in get attacked in a Bombing. She fell on her hands and knees and tears started on her eyes and she started hyperventilating
''Fifi!", Furrball exclaimed as he quickly wrapped his arms around Fifi, and the purple skunk held his hands.
"Why?", Fifi breathed. "Why eez zhis happeneeng?"
"We don't know, Fifi", Hamton said. "I really wish there's something that we can do."
"Me too", Sweetie commented.
"Same here", spoke Heather.
"We all do", Buster added. Fifi Furrball looked at the TV in fear disbelief, as Furrball felt very sorry not only for the people in France, but Fifi too.
''We went back to the Cadillac shocked and sorry for the events in Paris'' says Furrball
They were at the Cadillac and Fifi suddenly grabs her phone
"Who are you calling?", Furrball asked.
"My mozher and fazher", Fifi replied.
Furrball made a face of fear upon hearing her response. "Are they in Paris?"
"Oui, and I want to make sure eef they're okay."
After Fifi dialed the number, the phone started emitting a beeping sound.
"Oh no!", she exclaimed as she hung up tried calling again.
"What's wrong?", Furrball asked in concern.
"I'm not getteeng an answer from zhem."
"Uh oh", Furrball said as he placed his hands over his mouth, fearing for the worst. After Fifi dialed the number a second time, but she still got no answer.
"Non!", Fifi barked as she made her third attempt to call her parents. "Peeck up zhe phone, s'il vous plait!"
Fifi's body filled with fear as she waited desperately to hear her parents answer the phone, but still nobody answered.
"Non, non non!", Fifi shouted as she frantically dialed the number again.
"Répondez-moi! Décrocher le téléphone!"
"Fifi!", Furrball exclaimed as he ran up to Fifi.
"Answer moi, now!"
"Fifi!"
Fifi, feeling her heart racing with dread, waited to hear the voices of her parents, only to hear the beeping again. The purple skunk slowly lowered the phone from her face.
"Fifi", Furrball started, "I don't think they're gonna answer the phone."
He took the phone from her and she was heartbroken and she broke down crying
Furrball felt sorry for her pain. He hated seeing her cry then she hugged him.
''That's the saddest story I've heard so far. And that's not sarcasm I'm serious.'' says Brian who was touched by the story
Furrball kissed Fifi's head and said
"I'm so sorry, Fifi", Furrball whispered. "I'm really...really sorry."
The cat skunk continued their weeping, as Fifi tried to regain herself to speak.
"Furrball", Fifi said in a broken voice.
Furrball opened his eyes replied in a soft tone, "Yes, Fifi?"
Fifi tried to gain her strength to talk once again, but the pain in her heart was too much so all she could say was
"...make eet stop...please, make eet stop..."
Hearing those words struck Furrball's heart. He can tell how desperate Fifi is, and how much it hurts him that he's unable to do anything about it.
"What can I do, Fifi?", Furrball asked in the same soft tone. "What do you want me to do?"
She didn't respond as she was still crying and knew that there was nothing that he could do to fix the problem.
They suddenly hear the phone ring. She picks up the phone and Cliff was on the phone
'Ello?", Fifi said.
"Hey Fifi", Cliff answered.
"Oh, bonjour Cliff", Fifi replied sadly.
"How- how are you doing?"
"I feel, how you say, broken inside of moi. I feel like I'm falleeng apart."
"Well, I got something that might cheer you up."
"What eez eet?"
"Come to the shopping center you'll see."
"Now?"
"Yeah, and bring Lerxst with you."
"Okay, we'll be right over."
"Alright, see ya."
Fifi hung up the phone faced Furrball, who's wiping tears off his face.
"What did Cliff say?", he asked.
"He wants us to meet heem at zhe shopping center."
"What for?"
"He deedn't say. All he said eez eet's somezhing to cheer moi up."
"Hmm. I wonder what it could be."
"Oui, me too. At zhis point, I don't theenk anytheeng weell cheer moi up." says Fifi
They show up at the Acme shopping center
What the heck?", Furrball said as he Fifi approached the rest of the toons.
"Hey guys!", Cliff greeted, "You made it!"
"What's goeeng on here?", asked Fifi.
"We're doing something to show support to the people in Paris."
"We've set up a fundraiser", Buster commented.
"A fundraiser?", questioned Furrball.
Babs then stepped in said, "We're gonna try to make up as much money as possible for the folks in France."
"Oh, zhat's wonderful!", Fifi exclaimed in glee.
"But, wait a minute", Furrball started, "is the currency in France the same as the currency here in the U.S.?"
"Non", Fifi answered, "we don't use dollars een France, but zhey are, how you say, roughly equivalent."
"Don't they use euros in France?", Babs asked.
"Non, they use francs."
"Of course", Babs smacked herself on the head, "how did I not know that."
''No wonder I've never been to France. And I don't know much about French money. I'm sorry continue'' says Brian
"Anyway", Cliff started, "Lerxst, do you have your guitar outfit?"
"No", Furrball replied, "Why?"
"We're gonna play a few songs for the fundraiser."
''Sorry to interrupt but if I was there I would have played Silverchair's Without You, Alice In Chains' Nutshell or Pearl Jam's Black. Go in'' says Brian as the story continues
"Oh, I didn't know that." says Furrball
"Well, go get your stuff. We'll wait for you."
"Okay", Furrball then turned to Fifi. "I'll be back in a bit."
"Alright", Fifi said, before Furrball ran back to the junkyard.
Meanwhile, the other toons already have made some money for their fundraiser, from people entering exiting the shopping center.
"STEP RIGHT UP!", Buster said through a bullhorn, "PLEASE GIVE SOME MONEY TO THE POOR, INNOCENT LIVES OF PARIS! HELP THEM REBUILD!"
Later Montana Max shows up and sees the fundraiser
He ends up offering them a whole $5,000
"Whoa!", Babs exclaimed.
"Yowza!", Buster said at the same time, as Monty took out the check placed it in the bucket.
"That's all I can spare", Monty commented.
"Thank you so much, Monty!", Babs said in delight. "This means a lot, not only for us, but for the people in Paris!"
"What can I say? I do feel genuinely sorry for them."
As Monty walked off, Buster pulled out the check took a look at it.
As more people gave more money to the fundraiser Furrball returns with his equipment and end up singing some songs
"So anyway, we'd like to play a few songs here. This one we'd like to dedicate to the folks in France."
The crowd cheered as Cliff Furrball joined in front of Calamity. Cliff told Furrball what song they're gonna play, before Calamity tapped the high hats 4 times, and the song started.
The audience cheered again as the toons gathered at the front of the stage, smiling enjoying the music, before Cliff started singing.
If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory
Is over before it's begun
If the dream is won
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost
When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride
Though paradise is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost
Oh, whoa, yeah
Furrball shook his hat off stepped up to the front of the stage as he played his guitar solo.
Cliff Calamity both smiled at the blue cat, as did the rest of the toons. After several moments, Cliff resumed singing.
And if the music stops
There's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain
And if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost
And if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost
And if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost
And if love remains...
Cliff skipped over to the center of the stage as Furrball made his way around to the back, behind the speakers.
After a moment, Furrball appeared on top of the speakers, right above Calamity, as Cliff backed alongside the drums looked up at Furrball.
The blue cat started another solo, starting off slow soft, before slowly building his way up to fast energetic.
Furrball then jumped off the speakers at the opposite side of the drums from where Cliff is, as the two cats joined together at the center of the stage continued playing, before the band ended the song.
The crowd cheered as Cliff stepped up to his microphone again.
"Thank you", the tan cat said, "thank you so much. Alright, now we'd like to do a song by popular demand. Any requests?"
"I got one", Furrball said into his mic. Everyone turned to the blue cat as he said, "I'd like to play a song for my girlfriend."
"Is it what I think it is?", asked Cliff.
"I dunno, does it sound like this?" Furrball then started playing the song on his guitar, which made the crowd, and Fifi, cheer.
The song they're playing is one of Fifi's favorite songs, and Furrball knew this would make her happy.
Cliff stepped back up to his mic started singing.
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Philosophers and plowmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heaaaaaaaart, yeah
"Let's go, Lerxst!", Cliff said as Furrball started his guitar solo.
The blue cat went up to the center of the stage looked down at Fifi, seeing that she's enjoying the song having fun.
Furrball finished up his solo as Cliff resumed singing.
Oh, you can be the captain
And I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Well, closer to the heaaaaaaaart, yeah!
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart, yeah
After the 3 songs end Fifi and Furrball return home
Furrball turned to his girlfriend, wondering if she's still feeling bothered by what happened earlier today.
"How are you feeling, sweetheart?", asked the blue cat.
"I feel much better", Fifi responded.
"Yeah?"
"Oui. Merci for playeeng Closer To The Heart for moi."
"You're welcome."
"Eet was tres nice of Buster Babs to hold zhat fundraiser for Paris. I just hope eet will help out Paris een any way possible."
"I'm sure it will."
Fifi smiled at Furrball, then looked down at the floor. Furrball could tell that she's still worried about her parents.
"Hey, Fifi", Furrball started as the purple skunk looked up at him again. "Look, I know you're still worried about your mom dad. And I feel worried too."
"You do?"
"Yes. I know your pain, sweetheart. My parents are dead, and...I don't want you to be an orphan like me."
''I didn't know that your parents are dead Furrball. That sucks. Sorry about that.'' says Brian
''It's okay Brian.'' says Furrball as the story continued
Fifi said nothing looked down at the floor again.
"But, look on the bright side", Furrball continued as Fifi looked up again. "You still have me here by your side. No matter what happen, I will always, ALWAYS be here for you. I will hold you close to my heart whenever you need me."
Then all of a sudden the phone rang again.
Furrball sighed in exasperation said, "Why is it that every time we have a moment, the stupid phone has to ring?"
Fifi went over answered, not knowing who could be calling.
"'Ello?", she answered.
"Fifi?", said a female voice from the other end.
Fifi gasped in surprise. "Mama?"
Furrball also gasped as he quickly stood next to Fifi.
"Oui", said Fifi's mother.
"Oh mon goodness! I'm so glad vous called, mother! Are vous alright?"
"Oui, your fazher I are both fine."
"Oh, I am so glad to hear zhat. Where eez papa? Can I talk to heem?"
"Sure, he just came eenside."
After a moment of silence, a male voice is heard from the phone.
"'Ello?", said Fifi's father.
"Bonjour, papa."
"Fifi! Eet's great to hear your voice again!"
"Eet's great to hear yours mama's. I was worried seeck after I saw zhe news."
"I knew you'd try to call us, but we couldn't answer at zhe time."
"What happened over zhere?"

"But what about zhe bad guys? Are zhey stopped?"
"Things have settled a leetle bit here. We're safe where we are, but zhe entire town eez quite shaken up. Eet looks like total chaos out zhere."
"Well, I'm glad you mama are okay. I thought you two were gone for good."
"Non, we're fine. Shaken, but unharmed."
"I'm glad to hear zhat."
"Anyway, I'm gonna give zhe phone back to your mozher, okay?"
"Okay."
After another silent moment, Ms. La Fume is back at the phone.

"Zhat's good. How are theengs een Acme Acres?"
"Eet's great! Guess what?"

Fifi turned to Furrball asked, "Would vous like to talk to my mozher?"

"Furrball would like to talk to vous", Fifi said to her mother.
"'Furrball'?", asked Ms. La Fume. "Eez zhat zhe name of your boyfriend?"
"Oui, he's right here."
"Well, put heem on."
"Here you go, my love", Fifi handed the phone over to Furrball. The blue cat took it, feeling both excited nervous at the same time.
"Hello?"
"Bonjour, Furrball."
"Hi, Ms. La Fume. How are you doing?"
"We're doeeng fine. Still a bit scared, but we're fine."
"I'm glad you're both okay. Fifi I were both scared for you two."
"Do not worwy about us, we'll be fine."
"Okay, if you say so."
"So, how are theengs between you Fifi?"
"Things are great."
"Do vous enjoy being my daughter's boyfriend?"
"Oh, you bet I do! She changed my life completely."
"Oh?"
"I spent nearly my whole life living in the alleys, trying to find a home. But then Fifi let me move in live with her."
"Aww, zhat's sweet."
"Yeah. I went from being a homeless alleycat to living with the most wonderful-"
"Wait a meenute. Deed vous say you're a cat?"
"Yeah, why?"
Ms. La Fume started giggling, which left Furrball feeling a bit confused.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh, nozhing. I find eet, how you say, a coincidence zhat my daughter eez dating a cat, just like her mentor, Pepe Le Pew."
"Yeah, well, the Tiny Toons do have a lot in common with the Looney Tunes."

"Au revoir", Fifi concluded as she hung up the phone.
"I bet you feel a lot better", Furrball started, "now that we know they're fine."
"Oui, I feel a whole lot better."
They both hugged each other with smiles on their faces. They were glad Fifi's parents are still alive that things are starting to settle in Paris.
And the story ends
''That's how it happened.'' Says Furrball as the story ended.
