There's something about that new person but what? Read on to see how 'little' is
Buster's secret.

			*			*			*

   The secret came one Saturday night at Weenie Burger, the gang was there: Buster,
Babs, Plucky and Shirley. Plucky of course was still trying to make a move on Shirley
when she said, "If you put that arm around me, you'll be lifting it up with your beak on
your head."
   Plucky quickly pulled away and rapped it around him to keep it away from her.
   "Ohhhh, it gives me a headache just picturing it," said Buster.
   "Okay, enough with the practice for the Jerry Springer Show," remarked Babs,
"Let's get to some serious stuff."
   "Like what?" Buster asked.
   "Like, how cute my toes are."
   She raised her foot on the table and everybody "Awwed" and waved with their hands
to put it away.
   Meanwhile in the car lot of Weenie Burger, a group of six rough looking people
gather behind a car. Their clothing is like motor bikers with chains and spikes on their
shoulders and gloves. The meanest looking of the group was a dark brown wolf with a
gold tooth in the middle of the upper jaw. There were two females of this group as
well: a small pale blue bunny and a scruffy female tramp. The other males were two
bears the big wolf spoke and they all listened.
   "Now look," he roughly said, "we go in thar as planned: I go in and pretend to be
waitin' in line. Then you two: Buffy and Devia walse in thar blabbering like nobody's
beezness when I stretch my arms. And you, boys, Quake and Jiggles, bounce in after
tree seconds theys moved in position. I shout 'NOW' and we hold up de joint for deir
cash and poirsonal stuff. Got it?"
   "Got it!" they all said.
   "Remember what to do when anyone gets in our way..."
   She frowned as they broke off; Crusher (the leader) went straight to Weenie Burger
while the rest ran in the other direction. He coolly entered while the rest hid at the side
near the door. It was a short line so when he was second in line he stretched his arms
and yawned. Buffy (the little girl bunny) got up quickly but Devia (the tramp) pulled
her back and took the lead. They strolled in jabbering loudly and stopped right in front
of the gang's (Buster and company) table.
   "Imagine, having one 'them' as a girlfriend," commented Plucky.
   "They're like Fran wannabe's," whispered Buster in girl's voice.
   Just then a Quake (the bear) and Jiggles (the hyena) bounced in together and went to
other side of the place. The wolf nodded to the girls and they stopped talking and
nodded to the brutes on the other end. As he was next in line before the cashier could
say "May".
   "Now!"
   He quickly grabbed him by the neck and pointed a carrot to his mouth. The two girls
held a powerful spray of canned cheese in each hand pointing at the customers on their
side. While the two brutes held big loaves like clubs, ready to knockout anyone.
   "Okay, dis is a stickup so everyone don't move!" Crusher exclaimed. He then said to
the cashier who was shaking nervously, "I know you's allergic to vegetables since
you's worked with alot of meat. So gimme da cash and thar will be no trouble."
   "We can't let them do that," cried Babs, "this is OUR Weenie Burger! We have to do
something...Buster, you go first."
   "Ehhhh! Why me?
   Just then, the girl bunny came up to them with the cans ready to fire.
   "Hey, hey," she said, "no squawking 'round... Ehhhh!"
   She noticed the girl bunny resembles of Buster and he too was wide-eyed while
gazing at her similarity to his.
   "Hey Buster," Plucky said, "Doesn't she... mumph."
   Buster covered Plucky's mouth with a ketchup bottle and said:
   "Piss me off? Yeah, she does."
   Just then, the tramp came up to them since she the noise from her position.
   "Yo, what's the...whoa!! Girl, he...umfuhm."
   The little bunny covered the tramp's mouth with her ear.
   "...insulting me? Yeah, doh worry I can handle him."
   The tramp spat out the ear and went back to her tables while suddenly Plucky grew
angry.
   "That's it I'm not going to sit here, letting these punks rob my Weenie Burger."
   "Hey," said the bunny.
   "Since you guys don't like the burgers, try the fries."
   And Plucky threw the basket of fries in her face that made her fall back down.
   "I hate doing this," she said under her breath but Buster heard her.
   Plucky jumped onto the table taking the ketchup and mustard bottles. He turned
right to see the tramp twitching to spray the cans. It was a face off and tumbleweed
rolled between them. Everybody waited to see who would be the first. CRACK! Their
eyes moved to see a toon with a broken pringle in his hand. Seeing Plucky distracted,
the tramp made her move and fired the two spray cans. Just a split second before she
sprayed Plucky turned a ducked in time and rolled down to the floor. There he
launched powerful streams of mustard and ketchup at lizard that flew back and
slammed against a table.
   Then the two big brutes approached the duck when Babs went into a spin and
twirled on top on the couch. When she stopped she wore leather clothing with metal
buckles.
   "I am Xena," shouted Babs, "here me roar."
   "Oh brother," commented Plucky.
   She leaped into the air screaming, "Aiii yeee, yeee, yeee, yeee, ya."
   She landed right in front of them and drew out her submarine bread as a sword. She
made a thrust on the bear and blocked on the hyena. She blocked the bear and then the
hyena then the bear gave a strong thrust and broke her bread.
   "Uh oh." as she looked at her broken bread.
   The two looked at each other and approached her snickering. With quick thinking
she did a back flip and took out her onion ring shakrura. She threw to the left which
bounced off a pan, zoomed across behind the brutes bounced off the glass went over
to a table bounced off a menu that was held up then zipped past two brutes cutting
their breads down to size. Then it bounced off the wall and then lashed the two in the
head. They wobbled a bit until Babs blew at them making them collapse to the floor.
   During this time, Crusher was rushing the clerk to put the money in the bag when
turned around to see his gang lying on the floor in agony.
   "Hey what goin' on?" proclaimed Crusher.
   There was a buzz saw sound with his arm shaking at the same time and when turned
around he saw Buster taking the finishing bites of the carrot. Shocked he looked at the
finished carrot and said,
   "I, I thought they only serve meat in dis place?" Crusher stammered.
   "They serve vege-weenie burgers here also." said Buster.
   With that, he pulled Crusher to him and kissed him then jumped off the counter.
Crusher rubbed the kiss off with his jacket sleeves and turned around.
   "Where ya at, you darn rabbit." looking side to side for him.
   Behind the registers counter Buster popped up with the weenie burger work clothes
and cap that covered his ears.
   "May I help you?" he said in a high female voice.
   Crusher turned back to the counter and said, "Well, uhh, yes...I would umm like..."
   "Fries, why sure," there he pulled out the Acme Mega Pulsar Rapid Chain Fry
Launcher with a long chain of fries. Buster pulled the trigger and it worked like a
machine gun it filled Crusher's mouth with fries. Then his eyes and his nostrils were
filled with that Crusher collapsed.
   Later, they piled the gang together and as Buster passed the girl bunny he said,
   "Meet me at the Acme Acres Park at eight."
   She gave him a look and he walked off and called to Shirley,
   "OK Shirl, do your stuff."
   She nodded and concentrated on her power making a golden glow around her. The
pile of thugs was levitated off the floor and flew straight out the doors into the starry
night.
   "You think we'll ever see them again, Buster?" asked Babs
   "Maybe Babs," Buster said, "maybe..."

			*			*			*

   That same night in the park Buster stood by a tree and watched at the clock tower as
it tolled for eight o'clock. He sighed and waited...and waited...and waited...and
waited... Just then the girl bunny ran up to him while he was sleeping against the tree.
She saw this and,
   "WAKE UP!!", she shouted.
   Buster jumped screaming right up the tree. There, Buster hung in the tree with his
feet and hands were twisted up within the branches.
   "Get down from there so we can talk" called the girl bunny.
   Buster grumbled and fell down with the crack of a branch and landed with a BUMP.
He got up and brushed off himself. There was enough light from a distant streetlight to
get a better look at her. She was a shade lighter than he was, she wore a yellow-green
vest under a black leather jacket with a black skirt and two earrings on the tips of her
ears. She rocked back and folded her arms, waiting impatiently on him.
   "You came alone?" asked Buster.
   "Yeah, besides I can handle myself."
   "And no one knows you're here?"
   "Yeah. Now whathca want to see me for?" she asked angrily.
   "First off, who are you, and second, where did you come from?"
   "I don know what's it to ya but ma name is Buffy Bunny. And well I'm from the gang
you and your friends just beaten up. The Rotten Gang. So who are you?"
   "I'm Buster Bunny," he said, "But why did your gang try to rob Weenie Burger?"
   "'Cause we needed the money, duh!"
   "Yeah but why Weenie Burger? Why not a small shop, not to give you guys any
ideas though."
   "Crusher likes to think big."
   "Who? The big wolf?"
   "Yeah that's him the leader of the group. Is this whatcha wanted to see me for?"
   "No. Not really. I heard you say that you hate robbing."
   "You get kinda use to it, I don't really like it but being an orphan doesn't give you
much choices."
   "All right, I'm giving you this choice: you can go back to that gang and hate robbing
places. Or you can trust 'me' and join my group."
   Buffy was stunned at his sudden offer and stood back from him.
   "You want me to ditch my gang?" asked Buffy.
   "No, actually listen to any plans they make and come and tell us whenever you can."
   "Why?"
   "'Cause this is my turf, my home, Acme Acres and I'm not gonna let anyone harm it."
   "All right, I'll join."
   "What? Just like that?"
   "I admire someone who'd stand for their grounds."
   "Okay." he scratched his head not understanding why but was glad that she joined in.

			*			*			*

   The next day, Buster was walking to his next class by the pathways outside of the
buildings.
   "PSST!" Buster swerved around to see whom it is.
   "Babs? Is that you?" asked Buster, "If it is Elmyra don't bother to answer."
   "No, it's neither of them." whispered a voice.
   "Whoever you are you might as well come out 'cause I don't know who you are."
   "Come over by the tree at the right of you."
   Buster turns to the right and walked cautiously over to the tree. There he found
Buffy hiding behind the tree.
   "Hey what are you doing here?" proclaimed Buster.
   "You said I could come whenever I get de chance."
   "Well," a bit more relaxed now, "I didn't expect you to come so 'early'. Hasn't
Crusher noticed that you're missing?"
   "Yeah, 'cause he still upset 'bout what you guys did so the whole gang went on their
own for a while."
   "Can you come back at lunch time? Then you can meet my group personally."
   "Sure, but don't try no tricks."
   "Rabbit scout's honor," as he said this, he his finger on his forehead.
   "All right, I'll accept that." and she spun like a tornado to dig into the ground and
burrowed away.
   It was lunchtime, and Buster leaned was by the same tree where he met Buffy early
before. A trail of unturned ground came from the outside wall to Buster and up
popped Buffy.
   "So where to now," she said in a cool voice.
   "To a friend of mine's," Buster said calmly.
   He began to walk when Buffy spoke out.
   "Wait! Where's this friend? I'm beginning not to trust you."
   "You never did, he replied, "so just try and trust me. Besides if I wanted you, would
I have my friends taken you already?"
   Buffy took in what he said, realized that he was right and followed him. They
walked through the hall later and then turned into the study hall. There, Babs leaned
against the table, Plucky sitting in a chair back to front, Shirley floating above the table
and Hamton sitting on the chair.
   "Meet the gang," Buster announced, "that's Babs,"
   As Buster pointed to her Babs waved and said, "Hieee!"
   "She's been talking to much coffee," remarked Buffy.
   "We know," said Buster by her ear, which shook at his comment.
   "That's Plucky,"
   "Yeah, the duck who pasted me with all that ketchup and mustard."
   Buffy approached Plucky while he said, "Well, 'love' to brag so, yes it was me who-"
   He was cut off since he went airborne by the mighty blow of Buffy's fists slamming
into his face. Shirley floated off the table and stood right beside her.
   "Hi, my name's like Shirley. That punch was like, pretty good but if you like, wanna
give a proper blow. You use the back of your knuckles."
   "Trust her," said Buster, "she knocked that duck out more than you can imagine."
   She giggled until she saw Hamton sitting by himself and she walked up to him.
   "What's wrong? You didn't make the slaughter house?"
   "No, I'm just thinking." Hamton said calmly.
   "Not another math problem!" exclaimed Plucky popping up from a couple a desks
away.
   "Nah, a chemistry question."
   "Ohhh, well think away."
   "All right," said Babs, "can we get down to business? I'm missing my lunch."
   "Yeah!!" the rest chimed in.
   "I know where we can get some food right around the corner." Buster said slyly.
   Everyone but Buffy raised an eyebrow at him. He walked out of the study hall and
they followed him turning around the corner in the hallway and entered the science lab.
   "A science lab?!" exclaimed Buffy.
   She turned around to Plucky who was confused as him.
   "Hey, your guess is as good as mine." said Plucky.
   In the lab, under a large machine sparks were flying as a torch was used by Calamity.
On a table with chemicals, flasks, tubes and bottles was a boy wearing jeans, a white
shirt and an orange cap named,
   "Yo, Shooorty!" called Buster.
   "Don't call me that!" Shorty shouted.
   "Whatever, look we don't have our lunches here. Can you zap it right here for us?"
   "All right, but this is the last time," the boy warned.
   "That's what he said last Wednesday," Babs whispered to Shirley who giggled at
this.
   Shorty pointed to an empty table with his index and middle fingers together and
twirled them with trails of magic dust following. He then wiped a beam of magic at the
table saying, "Lunch of theirs... now appear!" Instantly, their lunches appeared in their
respective bags and boxes. The toons zipped to their lunches and began stuffing their
faces.
   "Now," said Shorty, "what do you want to eat little lady?"
   "Da name's Buffy," she said, "and I'll eat a veggie chilli dog, hold the onions, a slice
of pineapple pizza and a coke, all New York style. Hah, lets see you do that!"
   "Girl please, New Yorker food was on my revision list in magic tutoring."
   He spun his two fingers again with magic trailing and then shot his magic by an
empty chair next to Buster. All that she wished appeared with the food on plates and
white steam rising from it.
   "Oh my gosh! It's a dream come true!" exclaimed Buffy.
   "What's that?" asked Plucky.
   "Can't you see? New York food..." she sniffed it, "FRESH from the oven."
   "When ya got, ya got it." Shorty commented to himself.
   "A magician and a nerd, Buster I gotta hand it to ya. You've got some weird
friends."
   "Ehh, I try," said Buster.
   While they ate Plucky started the conversation, Buffy was still eating the chilli dog
to show how long it was.
   "Not to be rude or anything," said Plucky, "but why did they pick 'you' to be in their
gang?"
   "Dey choose me 'cause I'm a good pick pocket."
   "Oh yeah, then prove it." Plucky challenged.
   She began digging in her jacket pocket and revealed some personal objects.
   "Well, dis wallet has Buster's picture in it..."
   "Hey!" exclaimed Buster.
   "Dis make up is probably the pink bunny."
   "What the..." said Babs.
   "Dis picture of the girl duck came from the green duck."
   "Plucky!" shouted Shirley, "you little..."
   "And dis orb is from her as well."
   "Well, I don't know why the pig was keeping a hand broom, though."
   "Can't a pig be tidy?" claimed Hamton.
   Buster sighed and laid his head in his hand while Buffy gave back the stuff to the
toons she stole from. She then walked to Shorty confused and nothing in her hand.
   "That's everyone but you bub," she said to Shorty, "you are the first and only dude
that I can't pick pocket. Tell me your secret!"
   "Simple, I keep my personal stuff in my cap." he said and lifted his cap a bit to reveal
some bright light inside then pulled it back down.
   "All right, enough of this," Buster spoke out, "let's get down to business. Buffy, we
need to know when your gang is planning their next move."
   "It will probably be tonight at the old warehouse by the fish factory."
   "I think we should turn them to the authorities tonight then." Buster said.
   "With what?" asked Babs, "They are a gang ya know."
   "So are we," replied Buster, "and we're going to show them what this gang can
'really' do." He looked over to Shorty, "With a little help."
   Shorty shook his head smiling and opens the drawer under the counter. He grabbed
some stuff and lay them on the counter. It was a mixture of Shorty's magic bags and
charms with Calamity's inventions.
   "Well, what do ya need?" asked Shorty.
   "Something to help us since they have advantage of strength." Buster replied.
   "Hmmm," he dug into the pile and pulled out a rectangle bottle with a navy blue
cream. "How about a muscle increase potion."
   "Oh no," said Plucky, "last time we used that we blew up like balloons."
   "Allll right," he dug in once more and pulled out a metal pen. "The Cal 2000 Pen,"
he gave it to Buster but Buffy took it in amazement.
   "What does it do?" she asked.
   "When you move the clip to the left, it activates a laser, to the right and pull down
makes it an ink gun."
   "Cool!" she then slips it into her pocket.
   Shorty went back digging into the stuff and pulled out a small leather bag.
   "This is a bag of instant ice. Throw it anywhere and ice will be formed."
   "Cool," said Buster, "but how long will it last?"
   Shorty gave it to Buster saying, "Long enough."
   "Good and we need some walkie talkies," Buster added, "that actually 'work'."
   "All right. Hey, Calamity," Shorty shouted to him, "where do you keep the walkie
talkies?"
   Calamity brought out his head under the machine and pulled out a sign saying, 'In the
shelf, on the right.' Shorty went for them and threw one to every toon. Calamity wiped
his head and went back under the machine hitting his head to get shocked.
   "Good, one last thing," said Buster, "then we stop that gang before they try anything
else on Acme Acres." Behind their backs a scruffy tail wagged away from the window.
   "We better do it fast," said Babs.
   "Why?" asked Buster.
   "I've got homework to do!"

			*			*			*

   A foghorn was heard at the docks that night, the warehouses were gloomy with the
lights shining in an orange glow. At an abandoned warehouse Buffy followed her
tramp friend through an open door and closed it. Inside, Buffy sat on a box like the
rest except Crusher who sat in front of all of them. In the darkness, there were
movements behind crates and machinery, they moved swiftly and no one noticed them.
Crusher watched everyone with menacing eyes as the group sat talking to each other.
The wolf cleared his throat but they went on, he did it loader but no one heard him.
   "YO, LISTEN UP!" he shouted.
   They stopped faced toward him with all attention as well. Buffy chewed on her gum
while Quake scratched his head, Jiggles watched Crusher with his tongue out and
Devia posed on the box with a wicked smile.
   "Now," began Crusher, " after tha embarrassing beat up at tha Fast Food joint. I've
been tinkin' up a new idear. But first, I've got some bad news for yous, it seems that
we've got a traitor among us."
   Everyone gasped at the same time and Buffy's gum fell out of her mouth. Behind a
box, facing Crusher, someone lifted a device and spoke through it.
   Buffy's walkie-talkie volume was loud enough for only her to hear and it was inside
her jacket.
   "What's going on?" it was Buster and he was whispering.
  She pretended digging inside her jacket looking for a next piece of gum but pressed
the button on her walkie-talkie.
   "Now, where's that dang gum," she said out loud, "look, I tink they're on to us so
get your gang ready."
   "Got ya."
   "Do you always talk to you jacket, Buffy?" asked Crusher.
   "Heh heh," she gave a big grin and closed her jacket.
   "Huh," the wolf said, " or were you talkin' to your new friends TRAITOR!"
   Everybody stood up as she looked to left and right of her and all eyes were on her at
that moment.
   "Now!" she shouted.
   Immediately, Babs came in swinging on a large bag that was tied to a rope and said,
"Here's a bag of _fun_ for you boys."
   The two bears turned in time to see that bag WHOMP them in the heads, Babs rose
in the air and came back down to bomb the bag from its hook onto the two brutes.
While Buffy watched the swinging bunny her friend, Devia threw a net over her.
   "Heh," Buffy exclaimed as she struggled in the net.
   "Keep quiet, traitor!" Devia barked at Buffy.
   Buster came swinging at Crusher on an iron chain with a hook that he held on to.
Crusher ducked and at his direction then ducked again as Buster swung by. Then
Crusher grew mad as his face was burning red and steamed rose from his shoulders
with his fists tightly clenched.
   "Enough of dese games," Crusher shouted out, "Eider yous guys surrenduh now, or
dah bunny gets it."
   He grabbed a crowbar and pointed it threateningly to the trapped bunny that backed
away from it.
   "Now come out or she gets it!"
   With that Buster, Babs, Plucky and Shirley stepped out with their hands up in the
air.
   "All right, we give up," spoke out Buster.
   "Buster," whispered Babs, "we can't beat them if we do this!"
   "I know but we've still got Hamton to rescue us."
   "In that case, I know I'll never get home in time to do my homework."
   Later, the five toons were hung on chains by their waists not very high though as
Crusher and Devia were under them while the two bears were playing with boxes.
Buffy struggled in her chains and Crusher snickered at this and Devia walked right
under her.
   "Don't bother trying," said Crusher, "it's tied good and tight."
   "What are you going to do with us?" asked Babs.
   "You're going to help me in a next heist."
   "What heist?" asked Buster.
   "The one that'll be at yous school tomorrow."
   "No. We won't!" was Plucky's outburst.
   "Oh yes you will," snickered Crusher, "It will be, say, payback to what you did to me
and my gang."
   "Tssk, tssk, tssk," went Devia, "How could you do this? I thought we were sisters, I
shared my food with you."
   "Some sister," commented Buffy, "you know I couldn't eat those pieces of meat."
   "Let's go," said Crusher.
   The two punks walked off leaving the toons hanging on the chains but Buffy was
still struggling. Buster rocked in the chains depressed and Babs swung towards him
and kicked him in the rear.
   "What?" Buster asked her.
   "I thought you said Hamton was coming to save us?" demanded Babs.
   "I don't know what's keeping him..." just then Buster realized the answer.
   Meanwhile, in a dim hall of boxes Hamton was sitting on the floor studying with his
chin resting on his fist.
   "We're doomed!" Plucky sadly said.
   Buster notices that Buffy was still struggling in her chains and was puzzled.
   "What are you doing?" he asked, "these chains are too tight to slip out."
   "Yeah, I know," she replied, "but enough to move my hand...Ahhh! Got it!"
   The toons watched as she stopped and soon after a red glowing spot came from the
chains and then they burst with Buffy landing on the floor.
   "Get ready," she said as she turned to the gang.
   She turned on the laser and swiped through all the chains above their heads and
everyone fell at once to the floor. They unraveled the chains off of each other and
grouped together to make new plans.
   "All right," Buster spoke out to them, "we need a new game plan."
   "Like," spoke out Shirley, "what about the net?" she pointed across the floor.
   "It will be hard to get all of them under." Buster answered.
   "What about those oil guns?" Plucky pointed out to a table.
   "We need something more with those."
   "There's a load of fish we can drop," Buffy pointed up to a crane holding a net of
fish.
   Then Buster put his hand to his chin and began thinking while the others went closer
wondering what he was thinking.
   "Buster, what are you up to?" asked Babs.
   A lit bulb popped above his head.
   "An idea," was his reply and his plan was in whispers as he told the gang. Babs
started to get excited and was moving as the plan was explained.
   "No way," cooed Babs as she jumped up.
   Buster grabbed her back in but as he went on she went again.
   "That's just crude!"
   They pulled her back in and went on but Babs jumped again.
   "Is there no mercy?"
   "No! That's the point," shouted Plucky.
   "Fine with me."
   With that they went on discussing the plans in the huddle, very interesting, very
devious.
   Later on, the two punk bears were playing cards when balloons filled with stinky oil
hit them. They turned around to see Babs and Shirley laughing at them with balloons
in their hands.
   "In case you guys didn't know..." spoke Babs.
   "That's like," continued Shirley, "rotten fish oil that we just nailed you with!"
   The two made disgusted faces and looked at the stinky oil on them and tried to flick
it off but the stench stayed. The bears looked at each other and turned to chase the
girls. The girls threw down barrels to slow them down but the bears just knocked them
away. Babs and Shirley skidded into a corner and sprayed oil from their guns at the
front. The bears slid across and then ran into the hall to slip on the oil and fall down on
their backs.
   "Since you guys only got drenched with fish oil..." said Babs.
   "We're gonna give you the fish!" continued Shirley.
   With that, Plucky dumped a barrel full of dead fish all over them. They were half
buried in the stuff when a net was thrown over them. Babs and Shirley made high fives
and Plucky climbed down on a rope. In another part of the warehouse, Devia was
sitting on a box relaxed while Buffy snuck up on her. Just then Devia screamed as
Buffy sprayed her with the oil gun. She quickly turned around and snarled at her.
Buffy stuck her tongue out at her then dashed off and Devia ran after. Buffy was
ahead as she ducked through corners and jumping over cluttered hallways. She ran up
a high ramp and at the top of it she stopped suddenly.  She studied her discovery and
gave a sly grin and went to work quickly. Soon after, Devia stopped right below the
ramp and she heard a whistle and looked up to see Buffy waving at her. She growled
and ran up the ramp. Buffy ran away so when Devia was on the top she slipped on a
pool of oil and slid into a large hole. With Buffy watching her fall into a vat of fish
from a hook and chain. Devia tried to get up but only to slip and fall on her back.
   Elsewhere, Buster crept up to Crusher when he suddenly turned around at him.
   "Where do you think you're going?" asked Crusher.
   "In your face," was Buster's remark then jumped on his face to make a head start on
it.
   Crusher followed into the chase and as Buster knocked down boxes and barrels.
Crusher blew them away making Buster frightened. Buster spurted out some oil but
Crusher ran through it like nothing. The bunny is truly frightened now and sped round
a corner. Buster stops and turns to face the wolf. He pulls out his water gun that
glittered a bit and as Crusher was in his sight. Buster sprayed water all over him but
the wolf stood there to take all of it.
   "Water isn't going to stop me rabbit," commented Crusher.
   "I know," Buster said slyly.
   Crusher ran up to Bruster who stood there to watch him freeze all over. He was still
moving and Buster stepped out of the way to see the wolfcikle slid and trip over
Hamton.
   "Hey," jumped Hamton, "I just figured out the answer!"
   Buster walked up to him and said,
   "Good work Hamton," as they walked out with Buster's arm around his neck, "just
try using a pencil and paper next time, Huh?"

   The gang strolled through the park hearing police sirens far off from the streets. The
toons were silent for a while until someone broke the ice.
   "So Buffy," Babs began, "whatcha going to now?"
   "I donno," replied Buffy, "I'll probably work somewhere an crash at some alley."
   Just then Shirley was flashing all over and everybody stopped to watch her. She
pulled out her crystal ball, which was flashing.
   "It's a call from Shorty," pronounced Shirley, "I'll put him on speaker."
   At that moment, a beam of light came out from the crystal ball to project an oval
shape with Shorty in it.
   "Hey," spoke Shorty, "I just call to see if the plan worked."
   "Yeah it did," said Buster, "but your ice powder takes a little while to freeze."
   "Oh, Buster that last thing you wanted. I got the results from the hair sample you
pulled from Buffy"
   "Hey!!" exclaimed Buffy.
   "I've got to say with regret... well not really. Anyway, the test proved positive and
from my accurate analysis her hair sample compared to yours shows that you're
brother and sister."
   Everyone gasped and shocked at this that they all looked at Buster and Buffy. No
one could believe it but knew it was true from the similarities. Buster and Buffy looked
at each other with their mouths hanging.
   "Hey!" shouted Shorty, "Shut your hanging doors!"
   Knowing what he meant everyone closed his and her mouths. Buster was the first to
make his move.
   "Sister," he said with opened arms.
   "Oh brodder!" she said sarcastically and went to hug him.
   Everyone said, "Aww," at the moment until Shorty said; "Give a wet rag so I can
sting someone. This is too sappy for me."
   Everyone laughed but Buster and Buffy just smiled at each other.

   At Buster's burrow, Buster climbed into the hole and Buffy cautiously followed.
Inside, Buffy gazed at the structure of the home as well as the furniture and stuff.
Buster stopped and turned to her seeing her amazement.
   "You've never been underground before, have you?" he asked.
   "Only sewers in the city," she said still in awe and when she came out she continued
asking, "How does it all stay up?"
   "Cartoon slip-ups."
   "Soo, going to dis school will show me dese cartoon stuff?"
   "Yeah and English."
   She picked up a pillow from the couch and threw it at him.
   "Oooo, our first pillow fight!"
   Buffy giggled and sighed after.
   "Well," she said, "where's I going to sleep, Huh?"
   "You can sleep in my bed and I can sleep on the couch."
   "Nahh."
   She looked round the burrow particularly by the walls. She felt the walls and then
stopped at a space by the entertainment system. With paws up to her chin went like a
machine and was digging in the wall. Buster covered his eyes from the dirt as she went
deeper into the wall. The digging finally stopped moved his hands from his face to see
Buffy dug herself an entire female bedroom with bed, furniture and posters.
   "Where did all that stuff come from?" asked Buster.
   "Oh, those are some of the stuff I stole," she answered.
   Buster shook his head and went to his bedroom.
   "It's so nice to have a 'real' home," Buffy called out.
   "Yeah," replied Buster, "but that goes when you've got homework."
   She giggled and relaxed in her first permanent home. Meanwhile, in the dark cells of
the Acme Acres Police station, Devia watched out her iron bar window with devious
eyes.
   "I'll get you for this, Buffy," she whispered and shouted, "I'LL GET YOU FOR
THIS!!"
   "That's what they all say," another prisoner shouted.
   Devia went back on her cold hard bed while her bunkmate under her was kicking
her.
   The night air chilled in the city while it was cool in the forest areas. Toons alike
watched television, played computer or board games or doing work that needed to be
done. Their lives were secure thanks to two bunnies that found each other by fate.
   "Buster," said Buffy.
   "Yeah" replied Buster.
   "Are we the only ones in the family?"
   "Na... they'll probably find us like you found me or we'll find them."
   "How?"
   "'By the carrots that binds us' is our family motto."
   "Yeah, I know."
   "'Then you already knew half the answer', someone told me when I was lil'."
   Buster left her pondering his last reply while watching the 'Friends' on the tube with
its light drawing their minds to it. As night went on, the air was cool giving a slumber
feeling that's calm and peaceful... for now of course.
