Furrball: The Good Life

"Merooowwww!", Furrball screams as he runs away from Elmyra. [CRASH] "Ouch",
Furball says quietly. Once he realizes Elmyra is running right at him, he
screams and quickly starts to run toward a garbage can. He jumps in, but he
doesn't hit the bottom, he kept falling. While up at ground-level, Elmyra 
was peering down the garbage can, and all she saw was black, but she could
hear a cat's scream fading into the darkness. [THUD] "Meer-owwwch!" Once
Furrball gains consious (and the stars circling around from his head fade),
he looks around. He doesn't see anything, exept a light coming from behind
him. Furrball turns around and tilts his head up a little to see about a 
million dollar's worth of dollar bills, gold coins, jewels, and any other
bizzare treasure you can think of! "Meer-WOW!", he exclaims. Furrball starts
imagining of girl kitties, fresh milk, and all the fish sticks he can eat. 
"And they say money can't buy happiness!", Buster says in the background.
A few hours later, Furrball decides to find a way out and get someone to
help him bring his new fortune to the surface of the cavern, but he looks
around, and there's no way out. He'll have to climb his way up if he want's
to get out. He almost makes it up, when he sudenly lost his footing and 
started to fall! "Meer-AAAHHHHHH!!!", he screams. After falling about 35
feet, he grabbed the ledge and, luckily, he made his way back up, but this
time, he didn't fall. "Whew!" As he looks over the edge of the trash can,
he see's Elmyra looking around, probably for him. How's he going to get
past Elmyra? RUN!!! Furrball dashed past Elmyra, and found his way to
another trash can before Elmyra realized what happened. Puzzled, she
cautiously looks around, and see's no one. Furrball pokes is eyes over the
edge once again, but he see's Elmyra looking right at him! "Merrowwww!", he
says as he dashes toward a maple tree. "Whew, made it!", Furrball thinks, 
just as Elmyra runs into the tree. Furrball jumps out of the tree just in
time, but accidentally he lands right on a little kid! After the smoke 
clears, Furrball is dressed in the kid's shirt, pants, and hat. After Elmyra
realizes what happened, she frantically starts looking for Furrball. But
Furrball is no where to be found. The closest looking person/animal that
resembles him is a little blue-haired kid walking into the toy store...

Furrball finally got away from Elmyra, but now he's got to find a way to 
talk to someone to get them to help him. He suddenly remembered he took a
morse code class in ACME Looniversity! He then dashes right to the ACME Help
Center and morse code's his message to a human. The human then recruit's 
the employees and sends them to the trash can, Furrball leading the way.
The workers worked frantically to get all the treasure up from the garbage
can, because they know they're getting paid good this time...

Two hours later, when all Furrball's fortune is carried up from the trash
can, he order's a mansion to be built a mile south of ACME Looniversity.
A month later, it is finished. Furrball had the builders make a throne for
him in his throne room, and he had his treasure vault built right behind
his throne. He then hired many servants, french fish-special cooks, cute
cat-maids, 100 cows and 100 milkers.

One year of pure pleasure went by for Furrball, but after that, Montana Max
hired thieves to steal all of Furrball's great treasure. So, after this,
Furrball found his way to his tacky, yet humble little home in the alley.

"If it's ever so humble, there's no place like home."
