==================================================
     It was a beautifal day in Acme Acres, the birds were singing,
Elmyra was chasing helpless animals, and Buster and Babs were at
the mall. They were nibbling on a Carrot Sundae and watching the
various people walk by. "Buster," Babs started, "I'm sorry I ignored
you all that time, I had..."
     Buster chimed in, "An overflow of homework, Babalink?"
     "Who told you? I didn't tell anyone." Babs replied.
     "Do you think I didn't notice the thirty books you carried home
every day?"
     Babs blushed. She took his hand, "Well, I am sorry."
     Buster just smiled and hugged her. Then they noticed Shirley
and Plucky across the mall near the eseclator. 
     "So Shirley how did your class in Mind-Reading go?"  He then
let her pass to the escelator first. She looked at him and then
Lightning Bolts crashed from down upon the roof. All that
remained of Plucky was a pile of ashes and his bill. "I guess it went
well," his bill grunted out.
     "And don't you ever think that again! Especially in public!"
     Babs then shouted, "Hello, Shirl!"
     Shirley waved, and joined them. Then Pete Puma walked into
the mall in a janitor's uniform with a broom and dustpan.
"Euuuup...You kids gotta learn to use the ashtrays!"
     Buster decided to save him, he raced down a tapped Pete on the
shoulder, "Hey, Pete want some Ice Tea?"
     "Yuuuppp..I like Tea!" Pete proclaimed enthusiastically.
     "How many lumps?" Buster replied. "I like lumps.....give me
alotta lumps! Wait a minute! What am I saying?" He ran from
Buster just as he was about to smash Pete over the head.
     When he turned around, Plucky was normal minus his bill being
attached.  "Boy that will teach me to not let a woman go first!"
They then joined Babs and Shirley at the table. Just then, an alarm
went off. "What was that?" Shirley inquired.
     "Must be ANOTHER plot line" Babs chimed in.
     Then Mary Hartley, dressed in a sequin gown, jumps out and
says, "Congratulations! You have two won tickets to Hawaii! I will
stop talking now so I don't give you a siezure!"
     Then Wakko and Yakko jumped out and said, "Helllooooo,
nurse!" Then Mary ran away screaming.
     "Don't you find it convieniet that they always appear in these
stories?" Babs mutters.
     Just then Dot jumped out and said to Plucky, "Come with me if
you want to live!"
     Plucky replies, "Get a life!" Then Dot obliterates him again with
a super-duper death ray 2000. Shirley put his ashes in a tupperware
jar. And put the jar in her purse.
     Babs turns to Buster and says, "So Blue Boy are you going to
go to Hawii?"
     Buster says, "Oh no I rember last time. I don't think so."
     Babs turns to Shirley, "What about you Shirl? You up to it?"
     Shirley, "Yea I'll fer sure have a good time and junk."

     A marquee scrolls across the screen, "Two weeks later" Babs
and Shirley has just left for Hawii and Plucky and Buster just saw
them off. "Plucky, what are we going to do?"
     "Well, Hammie is out of town let's go out on the town."
     "I don't know remeber what happened last time?"
     "Well you are not in that position anymore."
     "Well, let's go!" They left Buster's burrow and headed
downtown to the Weenie Burger. There it was just as it had been
before. Since his encounter with Fifi at the party, Buster has felt
dirty and wrong. He has not spoken to Fifi or much less seen her
since that morning in the Park. He couldn't bring himself to face
her. Not after what he'd said. He loves Babs with all of his heart,
but feels more with Fifi. He feels more because she accepts his love
more easily. He couldn't describe it, but he felt a sort of animal
magnetism with Fifi, somethig he had never had with Babs. He
couldn't shut it off either, not since that night. He felt so
comfortable in her arms, so loved. These thoughts flooded his mind
as he walked down the street after exiting the Weenie Burger with
Plucky.
     Plucky notices this and snaps his fingers. "Buster? What is
wrong with you? You are even watching where you walk you
almost slammed into that tree!"
     "Huh? Wha...Sorry Pluckster just have a lot on my mind."
     "That thing wouldn't happen to have a white stripe up her back
would it?"
     Buster blushed and quickly tried to change the subject, "So
where is this party?"
     "At Calamity's house."
     "Oh" They then arrived at Calmity's house a short while later. As
they started up the walk, they heard Fifi's voice in the crowd.
Buster made a dead stop.
     Plucky, "You will have to face her sometime, Buster."
     "I can't do it Plucky." He then rushed as fast as his feet could
carry him home. Babs was going to call as soon as she arrived and
he's better be home for that!
     He got home and heard a ringing. "Hello? Babs?"
     "No, this is Babs's mother. C-can you come over here?" The
tone in her voice alarmed Buster. He rushed to her house and found
big Mr. Bunny looking at the ceiling crying. The glance at Mr.
Bunny almost shocked the daylights out of him. Babs's mom
walked in and gave Buster a big hug it was evident something was
severly 
wrong.
     Buster stammered, "W-w-what is it?"
     Babs' mom wiped away her tears with her already tear stained
smock. "Buster, Babs is dead."
     Buster went ghost white. "But how?"
     "The plane crashed, the found her ribbons and this picture." She
hands him a picture of himself and Babs.
     He turns, with the picture in hand, and exits the Burrow
he returns to his burrow and lies in his bed and cries. He cries until
he finally falls asleep. He starts to dream. He dreams about when he
and Babs first met. "I'm Babs Bunny."
     "And I am Buster Bunny."
     "No relation!"
     The image fades out and Babs head fades into view, "Why
Buster? Why did you kiss Fifi? Do you love her?"
     "I do! I love her why didn't I see it before?"
     "You don't mean that! You love me!"
     "I love you too but you are gone."
     Then he found himself with his head in Babs' lap. "Buster I want
you to be happy. No matter what." "No matter what...no matt.."
     The voice fades out as Buster wakes up and sees Plucky sitting
watch over his bed. "Buster you are awake!"
     "Plucky? Is that you?"
     "Yes it is me. When you didn't come to school yesterday, I was
worried."
     "Thanks, Plucky"
    "One question? What does 'No matter what mean?'"
     He remebered the dream, and all it meant to him he thought in
his way, he was telling himself to move on. Babs was gone, never
to return. But could he love again? Could Fifi's love save him? He
wondered this as Plucky and him wandered into another party "For
his own good" Plucky said, but he was in no mood to party. The
entered the party and Plucky met a girl and they started to dance.
     Buster just sat there wrestling with his emotions, can I really
love again? He asked himself. Babs was the woman I wanted to
spend the rest of my life with, but now she is gone I bet she would
want me to be happy. He didn't even notice the blue hand on his
shoulder.
     Plucky and the girl stopped dancing and noticed that Fifi had slid
across the room and put her hand on Buster's shoulder. But the
blank look on his face told the story. He was still very much
confused by everything. Plucky knew that Buster had scremed Fifi's
name out during his long sleep. But he thought he shouldn't tell
anyone.
     Buster stood and walked out of the party but Fifi went running
out of the party after him but could not see him anywhere. So she
went to his burrow and waited for him . He came down the path a
few minutes and she jumped out in front of him and scared him
severly. "Fifi! What are you doing here!"
     Fifi replied, "We need to talk, Bustair"
     But Buster had no fight left in him. "Allright come in we can
talk for a while."
     They entered his burrow and Buster took a seat on his bed. Fifi
asked, "Do you want moi to get vu anything?"
     "A glass of water please"
     She went to the kitchen and returned with a glass of water. She
entered Buster's room, it was dark, all she could see was his eyes.
"Ees that vu, Bustair?"
     "Over here Fifi" As Buster saw her approach, he could only see
her eyes. Their dark haunting appearence was driving him crazy.
She handed him the water.
     He took a big gulp of it and put it down. "What did you want to
talk about?"
     "How are vou feeling, Bustair?"
     "I am allright now, but..."
     "But what?" Their eyes locked and he saw the compassion in her
eyes, the feeling was there. He looked away quickly. She raised his
face to meet hers. "But what?"
     "I want the hurting to stop. I want someone to love." Buster
looked at her and their eyes met again and they edged closer to
each other until Buster wrapped his arms around her and put his
head on her chest and said, "I can't go on like this Fifi!"
     Buster pulled away and said, "I...I...love you! I need you to be
with me!" Then Buster pulled her to him and kissed her long and
passionatley. He melted and lay on the bed in a pile of goop. Fifi
rose and left his burrow and walked out into the starry black sky.
     In another part of the World, Babs and Shirley, are on a
deserted island. "Oh, great. Another stranded story line."
     "What kind of hack writer would use this old tired scene?"
     Just then, Babs and Shirley found themselves on a Spaceship on
two long metal tables. Aliens with six eyes appeares and looked at
them. "Ahhhhh! This is worse!" Then they disappered and found
themselves in a prison. "What the? Make up your mind already!
You hack!"
     Just then, the writer's brain had a massage blood clot and he
could no longer think. A big booming voice came over, "You will
stay here now! Stop bugging me!!"
     Then one of the aliens spoke up, "I'm sorry bunny-wunny head!
Are we scaring you? Take off the suits guys!" Then then peeled off
the suits and revealed, yup you might have guessed it. A horde of
Elymras.
     "Nooo!" Babs screamed in horror, "Don't do this! I'll go on the
island! Please put me on the island!" Zap! They were back on the
island.
     Babs looked around for some sort of civilization, but could find
nothing. "Well, Shirl I guess it's up to us to get out of here!" Babs
then started to dig straight down and Shirley was hot on her Cotton
Tail.
     Back in Acme Acres, Buster had recovered from the previous
night with Fifi and Plucky. He decided to talk to the one person he
could trust, besides Babs of course, he entered Bugs office.
     "Hiya, kid! Have a seat. Now uh what seems to be the
problem?"
     Bugs easygoing manner lifted Buster's spirt. "Well some things
happened last night. And I don't know what to do!" He then started
to sob gently.
     Bugs walked around the desk and put his hand on Buster's
shoulder. "It's Fifi isn't it? You are in love with her aren't you?"
     Buster looked up in suprise. "H-how did you know?"
     "It's not that hard, Doc. I see the way you two look at each
other in the hallway."
     "Well, what do I do Bugs?".
     "Think of Babs if you had died, would she have moved on
eventually?"
     Buster looked at the floor and winced at Babs name. "I-i guess
so."
     "Well then do what your heart tells you. And remeber people are
never gone unless you forget them. Babs will always be in your
heart, but you must move on." He then hugged Buster and helped
him out the door.
     Buster then went and bought the biggest bouquet of flowers and
biggest box of candy he could find. He then crawled into the
junkyard and to the Pink Cadillac and set them down inside.
     He heard it faintly but he heard it as he walked away. It was her
voice, he could hear her calling him. He turned and saw tears in her
eyes. "Oh Bustair, I love vu too!" She wrapped her long tail around
him and brought him close to her and kissed him. She then released
him and took his hand and led him to her Cadillac-House. She
lounged on the bed and motioned for him to join her. He did, but
sat there silently. "What ees it Bustair?" She put his head in her lap
and stroked his ears, just like Babs did.
     "I am so confused, Feef."
     "What ees there to be confused about? Babs is dead, and I know
I cannot feel that void, but I will be there always."
     This reassured Buster, and he kissed her again. He fell asleep in
her arms, he was so tired so weary....

     Babs and Shirley, barely recovering from the Elymra-Aliens.
Were inside a shack constructed to hide from the rain. "Shirl, can
you use your powers to see Buster?"
     "Um, ok Babs" Shirley went into a deep transe and searched for
Buster's spirit, his aura. She found it and it horrified her. She saw
Buster asleep in Fifi's arms and he was smiling and Fifi was stroking
his head like Babs used to. She snapped from her trance not
realizing she was ghost white.
     "What is it Shirl?"
     "Oh nothing, just a chill wind approaching." Shirley could not
bring herself to tell Babs. It would destroy her.

     Back in Fifi's Cadillac-House. Buster was having the nightmare
of his life. Babs was there in a wedding dress and so was Fifi. They
both turned to him and asked, in unison, "Well, who you really
love?" He jumped away at them both and screeched, "Babs, I
thought you were dead!"
     "Buster, after all we have been through, you don't think I am
dead do you? Or do you wish it were so it would be easier on you?"
     Buster started to cry and replied, "Babs I love you and Fifi and I
can't hide my feelings for her anymore, and I can't wish you back
from the dead can I? If only you were here Babs! Then..."
     His voice faded from him as Shirley appeared to him. Shirley
spoke in a grave mystic voice, "Buster...Buster..."
     "Shirley? I thought you were dead!"
     "No, I am very much alive Buster."
     "If you are alive, then you knwo if Babs is dead or not!"
     "I can........" Shirley's voice faded out as he started to wake. He
rose quickly with a ear-piercing scream.
     Fifi quickly woke and placed her hands on his shoulders. "What
ees it Bustair?"
     Buster looked around at the Cadillac, and remebered where he
was and saw Fifi and hugged her. "It is nothing now. I am happy."
     Fifi was suprised at his tone, "Do you know what vu are
sayeeing? You mean you are over Babs and ready to start ze life
with moi?"
     "I wouldn't do it with anyone else."
     They hugged and this scene faded from Shirley's mind. She took
a quick glance to make sure she had not woken Babs. No, Babs
was still asleep. Poor Babs, Shirley thought, even if we do make it
back to Acme Acres, what then?
     In the morning, Babs and Shirley were startled by the sound of a
helicopter. "We are like, saved and junk!"
     They ran out to the Chopper and jumped in. Babs quipped, "Isn't
that convinent! Maybe you are not such a hack."
     They arrived in Acme Acres in about an hour. Babs and Shirley
walked down the street to the Loo and Shirley stopped her. "Babs,
there is something you oughtta know!"
     "It can wait I have to see Buster!" She rounded the corner and
saw Buster and Fifi round the corner she hid behind a garbage can
and overheard them. "See you tomarrow, Feef."
     "See you Bustair." Buster wanted to part with a hug, not
wanting to reveal thier love relationship, but Fifi's beauty proved
too much for Buster as he kissed her fully on the lips.
     Babs sank into the garbage can and started to sob
uncontrollably. Knowing Buster had thought her dead, she resolved
to find a way to regain him. She knew there was a way, but how?
