A/N: Now, this is where we learn not only the effect Daffy's firing has on some workers, to some extent, but also meet DJ's daughter portrayed by Chloe Grace Moretz herself! As Marvin would say, "Isn't that wonderful?".

Looney Tunes: Back in Action

Chapter 3: House Pest/Rescue Mission #1

Meanwhile, at the studio café, Tom, Jerry, and Robyn were stumped as they entered.

"Well, that coulda gone better.", Tom commented.

"I know. First, we lose Daffy, and now DJ, too?", Jerry agreed.

"What is this studio coming to?", Robyn added.

As they passed by, they saw that Porky and Speedy were apparently discussing some of their own issues.

"At first, they told me to lose the stutter. Now they tell me I'm not funny! It's a pain in the butt being… politically correct.", Porky stuttered in annoyance. "The worst part is Daffy got f-fi-fir-f kicked out of the studio. Talk about ba-bad l-lu-b-ba unfortunate timing."

"You're telling me.", Speedy concurred.

"Okay. Him being upset about Daffy's firing, I understand. But what's that about?", Jerry pondered.

Tom and Robyn shrugged. The trio then noticed that on another table, Shaggy was berating Matthew Lillard for his performance in the live-action Scooby-Doo movie. And speaking of the Great Dane in question, he was sitting by.

"What kind of performance do you call that? You made me sound like a total space cadet, man.", Shaggy berated.

"Hey, Robyn. That's Shaggy and Scooby.", Tom pointed out.

"That means Bugs and Kate aren't far behind.", Jerry added.

"I'm sorry you feel that way. I was j- I was trying to be real to your character.", Matthew apologized as Scooby anticipatedly licked his mouth while looking toward his Scooby shack as Robyn spotted Bugs and Kate.

"You're right! I see them."

She, Tom, and Jerry passed by Matthew's table as Shaggy gave him a warning.

"If you, like, goof on me in the sequel, I'm comin' after ya.", Shaggy warned.

"Yeah. And I'll give you a Scooby Snack!", Scooby agreed right before growling and baring his teeth, inadvertently frightening Tom to the point that he screamed in shock and surprise right before dashing towards Robyn, wrapped all around her.

Scooby noticed this and was embarrassed.

"Whoops. Sorry about that, Tom.", Scooby apologized.

Then, he turned back to growl at Matthew.

"Yeah… okay…", Tom responded shakily.

"Wow. If only we saw that side of him toward at least one of those masked Scooby-Doo villains.", Jerry commented.

"All right, so there are some areas of the script I think we need to address. There's no heart, no cooperation, nobody learns anything.", Kate stated to Bugs as Tom, Jerry, and Robyn caught up and sat down in their seats.

"Daffy learns not to stick his head in a jet engine.", Bugs replied.

"He's gone.", Kate rebuffed.

"Nah, Daffy always comes back. I just tell him how much I need him. We hug, we cry, I drop something heavy on him, I laugh.", Bugs said as a fly zoomed by near a familiar-looking frog, which ate said fly.

"Uh, Bugs? I don't know if that's simple.", Tom said.

"Whatever do you mean?", Bugs asked.

Kate got straight to the point.

"The duck is history, okay? All right, so the question is how can I help you reposition your brand identity? Answer: We team you up with a hot female co-star.", Kate suggested.

"Usually... I play the female love interest.", Bugs said as he dressed himself as a lady and put on a blonde wig and lipstick.

Suddenly, the frog started to sing and dance jubilantly, revealing himself to be Michigan J. Frog.

Hello, my baby! Hello, my honey!

"About the cross-dressing thing? In the past, funny. Today, disturbing.", Kate commented.

Bugs then quickly changed back into his normal lack of clothing, with some lipstick still on until he wiped it off.

"Lady, if you can't find a rabbit with lipstick amusin', you and I have nothing to say to each other.", Bugs said.

"Look, I am trying to be nice... but I was brought in to leverage your synergy, and I am not going to let you or some wacky duck-", Kate began.

"Daffy.", Bugs corrected.

"Wacky, daffy, nutty, fruitcake, crispy over rice, it doesn't matter.", Kate finished as she frustratedly put her hands on the table while sitting up.

"Doesn't it? After all, most of his shorts wouldn't have been possible without Daffy.", Tom retorted.

"Yeah, but now that he's gone, there's a good chance that some of those shorts may as well go down the drain, sister.", Jerry agreed.

"Well, these matter.", Bugs said, bringing in his trophies.

"And... this!"

He then lifted up his Hollywood Walk of Fame spot next.

"And they say we get Daffy back. Right, boys?"

"We want Daffy! Bring him back! We love Daffy!", the trophies shouted, jumping up and down.

Meanwhile, DJ was arriving at his father's house as Granny and Tweety saw him.

"Little Damian.", Granny greeted.

"Oh, hey, Granny. Hi, Tweety.", DJ greeted, getting off his motorcycle.

"How was work today?", Tweety asked, not noticing that Sylvester was looking at him.

DJ gave a bit of a nervous look.

"Eventful.", DJ replied before walking back inside.

"What a nice young man.", Granny grinned.

But as Sylvester tried to grab Tweety, Granny accidentally cut his tail. That made him scream painfully and jump. Inside the house, DJ walked inside, passing by Damian Drake's painting.

"Kayla!"

Just then, Kayla, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl in her late teens, rushed downstairs.

"Hey, Dad. Did you bring anything back?", Kayla asked.

"Not really. And unfortunately, I won't be able to anymore because I was…", DJ began.

Suddenly, Daffy came out of DJ's backpack.

"Guess who? So did you miss me?", Daffy asked before kissing DJ in the cheek.

Seeing him in person was enough for Kayla to drop her jaw for a good few seconds before her face widened into an elated smile. At the same time, Daffy got out of DJ's backpack and walked over to the living room.

"Hey, how did you-?", DJ began in surprise.

"I'm glad I was fired. In a few days, they'll be kissing my befeathered rump... begging me to come back. But I won't.", Daffy stated, walking toward a desk full of papers.

"Did I just miss the whole part where I invited you in?", DJ asked, baffled.

But Kayla's reaction chimed in.

"Oh… My… GOSH!"

"What?", DJ puzzled.

"Dad, I love you so much! I can't believe you brought home DAFFY FREAKING DUCK!", Kayla squealed.

Hearing this, Daffy gasped in surprise.

"Actually, it's Daffy Sheldon Duck. Kinda going for 'Armando', myself. And…"

Before Daffy could finish, Kayla began to shake his hand and even hugged him as she spoke.

"Mr. Duck, I am your biggest fan! I have watched every single one of your shorts and was even rooting for you, too! At least once.", Kayla said.

Daffy gasped in surprise.

"You did? You were?", Daffy asked, earning her nod.

"I didn't even know I was bringing him home.", DJ said.

"Well, can we keep him?", Kayla asked.

"What?", DJ asked, shocked.

"Oh, I won't be here forever. Just long enough to get my feet back up on the ground, if you know what I mean. So, can you keep me? Can't ya? Please?", Daffy pleaded, his eyes having become sad pleading eyes.

Normally, given his reputation, DJ would refuse. But he just found out that his daughter is actually a Daffy Duck fan. How that is the case is far beyond him, but nevertheless she seems happy. Besides that, it doesn't quite seem right to take that happiness away.

"Okay. Fine. But only until we find something better for him to do.", DJ replied.

It may have been a bit shorter than she would've liked, but for Kayla, it's better than nothing.

"Yes!"

Eager, Daffy went back to the papers on the desk.

"Way ahead of ya. I'm already too busy accepting numerous, multiple offers. Every studio in town will...", Daffy began.

But he then noticed a newspaper.

"Hey!", Daffy reacted in shock.

The newspaper he found read, "Duck Plucked: Idiot duck destroys studio.".

"Who am I kidding? My career is over."

"What?", Kayla asked in shock.

"I'll starve! I'll have to eat envelope glue.", Daffy spoke sadly.

Then, he noticed DJ's fish tank aquarium.

"Wait, a sushi bar! Yum yum!", Daffy spoke eagerly as he ran to the aquarium and grabbed a fish to eat, earning Kayla's gasp.

"No, no, no, no, no!", DJ shouted.

Hurriedly, he grabbed Daffy's neck just as he ate said fish and opened Daffy's mouth to get his fish out before putting it back in the aquarium as Kayla sighed in slight relief.

"Daffy."

"Yes?", Daffy asked, choking.

"If you're gonna stay here, you're not to touch anything in my father's house. Got that?", DJ urged as he pressed Daffy's head like an accordion, making him move funny for a moment before his body sprang back to normal while jumping toward the piano stool.

He prepared to play the piano, but gasped upon realizing what DJ had just said.

"You and your kid live with Daddy?", Daffy asked.

"Yeah, so? Just, you know, kind of… temporarily.", DJ replied.

"And get this. Grandpa is THE Damien Drake!", Kayla added.

This made Daffy gasp in surprise before turning to the posters on the wall.

"Oh, my grease and gravy! Your dad is Damian Drake. A super spy.", Daffy spoke in surprise to DJ as he climbed onto the piano to get a closer look and then got off.

"He's an actor who plays a spy.", DJ explained as Daffy noticed and touched Damian's I Spy magnifying glass, inadvertently causing it to fall down to the ground only to get caught by Kayla before it could hit the floor.

"And that? That's his 'I Spy' Award.", DJ added.

"Ingenious. An actor playing a super spy as a cover for being a super spy playing an actor. In fact, I'll bet this whole dump is a super spy lair. Nothing is as it seems.", Daffy responded, picking up said award from Kayla and using it as a magnifying glass.

"No! Really?", Kayla asked.

"Please, don't encourage him.", DJ sighed as he got up and walked away.

"You know, you're probably protected by an invisible force field right this minute."

Then, he prepared to throw an apple at DJ, much to Kayla's chagrin.

"No, no, no, no, no!", Kayla reacted.

But it was too late. Daffy hit DJ with an apple.

"Aha! The force field-penetrating apple.", Daffy spoke boldly.

Kayla sighed at this just as she overheard beeping and discovered the source.

"Just feel free to continue your delusional ranting... while I answer my... remote?"

The source turned out to be the TV remote.

"Dad? Since when can remotes do that?", Kayla asked.

"Never.", DJ responded in surprise.

Regardless, DJ picked it up and held it to his ear, answering it like a phone.

"Hello?", DJ asked.

But the beeping continued until DJ clicked a button on the remote, which triggered a projector popping out of the couch, much to both DJ and Kayla's surprise as the painting on the wall pulled away to reveal live footage of not only Damian Drake himself, but also his partner, Mr. Starling.

"Son?", Damien asked.

"Dad?", DJ asked.

"Grandpa?", Kayla asked.

"Little Kay?", Damien asked in surprise.

"What's going on, wh-what are you doing in the painting?", Kayla asked.

"We wanted to keep you, and apparently, your daughter, out of this, but there's no one else we can trust.", Damien began.

"There he is! Stop him!", a guard shouted.

"Damien, ninja at your 9 o'clock!", Mr. Starling shouted.

"Can you hold on a second?", Damien asked before he and Mr. Starling both fought off the guards.

"Are you guys shooting a movie or something?", DJ asked.

"Like a new Damien Drake movie?", Kayla added just as Daffy sat down in the couch with popcorn and a soda.

"And with Robyn's father as a guest star? Cool.", Daffy added, slurping up his drink through a straw.

"Come to Las Vegas. Ask Dusty Tails for the Blue Monkey.", Damien urged, even as he and Mr. Starling were going up against a couple of guards.

"The Blue Monkey? What's a Blue Monkey?", DJ asked.

"A diamond. A very special diamond.", Damien responded.

"It's very critical for this mission. Find Dusty Tails.", Mr. Starling added urgently.

"A Diamond?", Kayla and Daffy puzzled in unison.

"I'm rich!", Daffy exclaimed as his eyes turned into dollar signs before his head morphed into a money bag, opened, spilled diamonds out, which left him headless, and then popped back. "I've joined the leisure class."

Then, Damien and Mr. Starling began to fight off an incoming henchman.

"Hey! Dad, do you guys need me to call the police or something?", DJ asked just as the henchman was bested.

"No. No police.", Damien refused as he and Mr. Starling threw their grenades at the henchmen from behind.

"Uh-oh.", the henchman spoke before the grenades exploded, sending him flying.

"It's already beyond anything the police can handle.", Mr. Starling added.

As he continued, Kayla showed a bit of a surprised look on her face.

"And Robyn, if you're watching this and still deciding that you want to help…", Mr. Starling began.

"Robyn?", Kayla pondered.

"…be careful. Those people after the Blue Monkey are dangerous.", Mr. Starling warned.

"Dad, are you guys all right?", DJ asked.

"I'm sorry we never told you this before, but I...", Damien began.

Before he could finish, Mr. Starling shouted.

"Look out!", the partner warned.

As a result, the two spies wound up grabbed from behind by a ninja as a smoke bomb went off. With that, they lost the signal and the painting came back down.

"Dad?", DJ asked in worry.

"Grandpa…! Grandpa's in trouble!", Kayla shouted.

"I know.", DJ responded. "Kayla, you stay here. Daddy's gonna get your grandpa back."

"But I want to help, too.", Kayla insisted.

"No, Kayla. Keeping Daffy is one thing, but coming with on what could be a dangerous mission, unprepared, mind you, is another.", DJ refused.

"But you're just as unprepared for this as I am. Besides, I can't let you have all the fun.", Kayla insisted.

"You don't get it, Kayla. This isn't about fun.", DJ retorted.

"So, you don't think I can take it seriously?"

"That's not it!"

"Then, what is it?"

"YOU'RE NOT READY!", DJ snapped.

Kayla gasped in shock as did Daffy, although the duck's gasp was a bit more dramatic.

"Look, even I'm not sure if I'm ready for this, either, Kayla. I mean…, finding out that my dad/your grandfather is an actual spy? This is a first for me. It literally happened just now, so that's saying something. I don't even know if I'm even fully equipped to handle something like this."

DJ sighed before he continued.

"But all I know is, my dad, AKA your grandfather, is in trouble. And I need to help him."

"Then, why can't I come with you? He's my grandfather, too.", Kayla asked.

"I know… But I lost your mother when I was a kid. Like Dad lost mine… I can't lose you, too…"

As he rushed out to get his things needed for travel, Daffy lent his two cents.

"Well… that was awkward.", Daffy commented.

Little did anyone know that someone completely dressed in a black thief suit of sorts was hiding out in the bushes across the house, holding out an electric-powered laser gun and aiming at Kayla through an open window as she stated her resolve.

"If Dad's out there and I'm stuck here…, who's gonna make sure I don't lose him…?"

Then, she turned to Daffy.

"So, how about it, Daffy? You up for getting whatever that diamond is and saving the world?"

For Daffy, the answer was simple.

"World, schmorld. That thing's worth a fortune!"

Suddenly, a laser gun blasted out a jolt of electricity, zapping Kayla, making her comically spasm out as electricity sparked around her. By the time it stopped, her hair was standing on end, much to even Daffy's surprise.

"What was that?", Kayla puzzled.

"Beats me. But you sure look jumpy.", Daffy commented.

"Yeah… maybe.", Kayla agreed, patting her hair down.

Moments later, he went over to DJ, who went downstairs.

"Guess it's just you and me, DJ. On a spy caper. Double agents, exploding bikinis, tigers hanging from helicopters! I'm through with show biz! From now on, I'm gonna live the adventure. Next stop, Las Vegas!", Daffy spoke as DJ went to the garage.

"I'll take my dad's old car.", DJ said.

"Ah, a super spy car. Let's ride.", Daffy grinned.

"This isn't a spy car.", DJ corrected.

"Your dad is a spy. Ipso ergo, a spy car.", Daffy argued with a chuckle.

Now, the car the heroes were taking is a Gremlin car. As they argued, Kayla took the opportunity to sneak in through the trunk unseen, unaware that she was growing a blonde duck tail from behind.

"I used to deliver pizzas in this car."

"Secret pizzas?", Daffy asked.

DJ then grabbed Daffy by the neck.

"A spy pie, maybe?", Daffy choked.

"Maybe I didn't make it clear enough. You're not coming with me.", DJ glared before throwing him out of the car.

Of course, Daffy got up no problem.

"Fine, be that way. But it's definitely a spy car!", Daffy exclaimed as, once the windshield began to close on his beak, his voice went high.

"A little help here?", Daffy requested, muffled.

DJ then punched Daffy off the windshield closed on his beak.

"Ducks…", DJ sighed.

As DJ drove the car out of the garage, Kayla quietly snickered to herself without being loud enough to be overheard. The sputters of the car were enough of a sound mask to prevent her from being spotted. But Daffy appeared behind DJ, forcing him to stop as he exclaimed.

"Hey! You know how I know it's a spy car? Because it looks ab-ssss-solutely nothing like a spy car.", Daffy stated before DJ knocked Daffy out with a back fis, much to Kayla's chagrin as she winced. As soon as they left the garage, the car platform suddenly flipped, revealing a silver car that bears the model name, "TVR".
