FIFI (Light tone) What's are you thinking about? Dru perhaps? SHIRLEY No way Ray! I have very vibs from him and you two should be really careful around him. FIFI What are you talking about? SHIRLEY ...I can't say what! BABS Sounds more like sour grapes to me. FIFI May She has already tried... BABS Maybe she has... >Shir packs up and leaves in a huff as the the Girls laugh. INT - GENERAL SHOTS - DAY >Shir keeps an eye on Dru when she can, trying to figure out what it is about him that distubes her. She sneaks a peek into his classroom during class changes, and during team sports in the gym. INT - CORRIDORE - DAY Shir follows Dru after school lets out. He turns a corner and she runs to it to watch his actions. The hall is empty, she steps into it in amazement. SHIRLEY (To Self) Gad! Like where did he go? >Suddently her Aura is hit with a psychic shockwave sending her flying back. She recovers and runs from the school. INT - FACULITY OFFICES - DAY >A very tense Shir knocks on the door marked 'Daffy Duck', looking inside. SHIRLEY (Knocking) Daffy?... Daffy ? Its cruchle that I talk to you!! >Bugs comes up behind her. BUGS (Stern tone) ...And what are you doing here, young Lady? >Shirley jumps and srikes as she turns to see him. SHIRLEY Gads! You almost shocked my karma to pieces Bugs! BUGS Shirley you know this area is for Faculity only. SHIRLEY For sure Bugs. But I have to talk to Daffy on a totaly crucial matter. BUGS Well you can talk to me... Unless its an avion sort of thing. >Shir looks around to see who might listen in. Bugs takes the hint. BUGS What say you and I take a walk round the Campus Shirley. >Bugs and Shir walk on the grass. Staying just out of hearing range as they watch the football team and cheering squad practice. SHIRLEY ...And these mondo power waves just comes out of nowhere Bugs and its really crashes my Aura. BUGS I see! What do ya thinks causing it, Kid? >She is wary as she speaks, realizing what she is about to say is dangerous. SHIRLEY (Slow tone) Like!.. it all started ...The first day... Dru ...arrived...Bugs. (Normal tone) I feel heavy bad vibs from him Bugs, like Mega powerful. We are talking total danger here. You've got to do something. BUGS Anyone else felt these waves of your? SHIRLEY (Shy tone) Well like ... No! BUGS Have you actually seen or heard Him do or say anything I should know about? SHIRLEY (Excited tone) For sure! Like I followed him down this hall, See? And he turned this corner and completely disappered. And that was just before the wave Bugs. BUGS (Upset tone) Hold it young Lady!... You shouldn't be following people around the Looniversity or anywhere else. It not smart and it could be dangerous. SHIRLEY (Protesting tone) ...But Bugs! There is something totally not right about Dru!!! BUGS (Calm tone) ...And that's another thing Kid! Look Shirley, we all know you got powers we don't understand. But maybe you don't understand them either. You're getting older and you're changing and maybe they are too. SHIRLEY (Upset Tone) ...My Karma is whole within itself. The problem is coming from beyond. You know, like no one believing me!!!... >Shir turns her back to Bugs, closing eyes with deep frown. Bugs is put off by gesture. BUGS (Angered tone) Now look you!!... >Bugs regains his composure. He dusts himself off and pulls out carrot. BUGS Listen Kid, I can see something has you upset! What we have to figure out is what's causing it. >Shir glances back over shoulder, still with frown, but listening. She softens as Bugs talks to her. BUGS But look at it from my point of view. I don't have any proof that any of this ever happen cause you're the only one who can feel anything. Now everyone's got nothing but good things to say abvout Dru and even you can't falte him... That's a tough nut to crack Shirley. >Shir gives deep sigh, conceding point to Bugs. She faces Him to thank him and then turns to walk away. SHIRLEY Well!,...Thanks for listening anyway, Bugs. BUGS Hold on Kid! You've put me onto something that still needs to be looked into here. I can't just walk away you know. Tell you what I can do. I can talk to Dru... See what he's been up to. You know his field is 'Wild Takes'. He may be working on something special. I won't memision you of course. >Shir lights up, reassured by Bugs that something further would be done. SHIRLEY Primo Grando... BUGS ...But I'm not promising you anything here. SHIRLEY LIke I understand Bugs! BUGS (Stern tone) But you've got to make me a promise Shirley! SHIRLEY (Wary tone) What kind of a promise? BUGS One you have to drop this thing here and now and let me look into it. SHIRLEY Ok! BUGS ...No more cutting Classes SHIRLEY Ok.

She distracts them as Fifi and Shirley spray them with water diverted from two nearby water fountines. HAMPTON & PLUCKY AGGGGG!!! >The waterspray drifts in Dru's direction and he jumps back.

SHIRLEY Gag me! When my friend find out I'm missing they'll come looking for me! For Sure!! DRU It will do no good! they'ill never find this place. Besides, you can't last much longer. You haven't slept or eatten since last night! SHIRELY ...Like what are you anyway? You're really strange or some junk!! DRU I'm a Toon, like you Shirley! ... An old Toon,... A very old Toon. I was a star long before your Bugs Bunny was even a germ of a Idea. I dought he's even heard of me! SHIRLEY That old, Ouuuuu! DRU Yes! In those days I was fresh and new and I thought I would be popular forever. But that was not to be. Fame fades for us all. But I didn't want to fade away like the countless others. I wanted life,... to live forever. I learned to make my own way around the stuidos, at night when everybody had left. I waited and I watched and while I waited I conjured. SHIRLEY Total Megalomania vill... DRU I found a way to extend my exsitance if not my popularity. And I have done so for over seventy years... SHIRLEY Egads!! Like what are you then?! Some kind of a... a... DRU ...Freak? No a better word is Vampire!! >Shirley cringes inside bubble as fear grips her. DRU ...Not a Toon Vampire, one who plays the role. But a Vampire Toon! One who continues to live by feeding on newer, younger toons. SHIRLEY That's why everone seems so weak at the Looniversity. Like you are draining their life force. DRU Your very astute! I can enter any TV Show I want, assuming the style of the artform. Then I slowly drain the cast away. The jokes get stale, the stunts get old and soon the show is cancled. SHIRLEY Like that makes now sence at all! If the shows are canceled then you lose a home. DRU (Baring fangs) But then, when people no longer care about the characters I can begin my main feast. I drain each character, one by one, of their life's Ink and Paint, until they are nothing more then a puddle on the studio floor. >The thought revolts Shirley, her face showing her disgust. SHIRLEY Eouuuuu!!!!! DRU ...And that's what's going to happen to you 'Tiny Toons'. SHIRLEY But what's all this got to do with me? Like Buster and Babs are the Stars. You're not out making their lives misrable!!! DRU True! normally I would use a talisment, like those watches you refused to wear to sap their strenght. But you,Shirley, the Duck... SHIRLEY (Sharp tone) ...That's Loon!) DRU But first we have to get you out of this troublesome bubble... >Dru places hands on Shirley's protective bubble, raise sparks. He summons his power trying to rupture it. Lights flash and flicker throughout the carvern, The NOISE deafening. >Shirley grits her teeth, repealing the assult. He stops, weaken by the attempt, glaring at her. She is weak but the bubble is intact. DRU (Weaken) Impressive! Your powers are formidable... Let's see... >Dru moves to large screen. A grid appears and two light flash on it. A cloudy picture of Buster and Babs appears as they walk in the area. DRU Ah! That's what I need... SHIRLEY (Upset tone) ...Noooo!!! >Dru moves to rack taking a vial he opens it and a vapored Being appears. a flash of light from Dru's head turns the Being into an evil copy of Shirley.

Like I find these two dumb Bunnies and I lead them to you. DRU Excellent! EVIL SHIR Mondo! Like Do I really talk like this all the time?? DRU Yes you do. EVIL SHIR Grody to the max!! >Evil Shir moves to the door and as she touches the door knob the carvern turns into a regular normal apartment. As the door closes behind her the Carven reappears. Shirley is astounded at the sight. DRU ...Cute trick, Huh?!! SHIRLEY Unreal!!... DRU This place does not exist in the world you know. That's why no one will ever find it. To everone else that door opens on my apartment. Unless I want them... overhere. EXT CITY STREETS - DAY >Buster and Babs head for Dru's apartment. BUSTER So what's the plan Babs? BABS (Pointing) Well first we... Buster Look!!.. >Down the block They see Evil Shir thinking she's the real Shirley. Evil Shir, knowing they are there, moves in a sugestive manner as if following someone. Their courisity raised Buster and Babs trail her to a ten story apartment building.

ANGEL ON TWO SHIRLEYS >Shirley is elated, Evil Shir frowns. SHIRLEY Yesss! DUR Let me call her! Shirley look who's here. EVIL SHIR (To Shirley) Watch this Duck. >Evil Shir turns upper part of body away and shields beak with hands. The effect makes it sound to Buster and Babs like she is the other room. EVIL SHIR (Hear by Bunnies) Like I'ill be right there! >Evil Shir then pushes a stack of items off nearby table. The crashing SOUND alarms B&B. Dru plays on their fears. DRU Shirkley!? Shirley... BUSTER Loon Girl? >Buster inadvertantly steps over threashold into apartment. Babs follows him without thinking. >The door makes loud SLAMMING SOUND, closing by itself. The room transforms from apartment into cavren lair instantly. Dru turns back with pleased smile on face, turning into Creature. >B&B Huddle together looking at him.
