Guest star: The Dancing Baby

     This is the story about what I think about my new toon. Maybe adding a
new toon is stupid. Even though Warners have done it before but my stories
aren't going to be on t.v. Or maybe it's easier to add a new toon to write
more adventures. That's why I wrote this. I've put my character to the test
for you to see. That if he's ready to be a toon or not. I maybe going to put
a sad ending because I don't really feel to add a new character to the group.
     He is put through three events to see if he be part of the cast. Buster and
Babs narrates this and describing these tests. Then read and see what the
test is made up and how he does it. In the end you find out if there is a
toon in the cast called Jeff.

                                  Act  1
                                ~~~~~~~~~
                              The Body Test

     The warm sun rays shined upon flowers and trees in Acme Acres. The air is
clean and the sky is blue. The birds singing for the morning. Squirrels are 
busy working the morning away. Big deal! Today is a special day as you shall
soon see. The low cut grass is found in Acme Loo, toons are found sitting in
front on the grass, the staircase and by the great statues of Bugs Bunny and
Daffy Duck. Most are  talking to friends standing or sitting with them. We
find Buster and Babs standing between these two statues.
     Buster: "Hey toonsters!"
     Babs: "Hieee!"
     Buster: "Today is an important day for someone."
     Babs: "Yeah! Come with us and we'll show ya."
     As they walk up to the Looniversity they talk on.
     Buster: "Today is the day..."
     Babs: "A toon may become a cast member."
     Walking up the staircase passing numerous student on the stone railing.
Babs cuffs a toon over the rail when he was trying to look under her skirt.
     Buster: "This test is divided into three more tests."
     Babs: "Each different and uncanny than before."
     Buster: "So sit back and watch this toon action."
     They open the right door entering a hall full with students. Many are
talking by the walls or lockers. Through the crowd we find them in the middle
of the hall. They're looking for something and Buster taps Babs on her
shoulders and points out to her something. She nods in agreement of this.
     Buster: "The toon you are about to see is this over there."
     He points to person far across standing by the lockers. It was a boy in a
brown pants, a white shirt with a sleeveless jacket, also glasses, and a 
magic orange cap.
     Babs: "This nerd, I mean kid is named Jeff, and we're going to see if he
has the stuff to be a toon."
     Buster: "The first test is for the toon to express him or herself in
their own way. To see what they're really like."
     Babs: "You see we can't always accept a new member. That's why we've done
this."
     Buster: "That, and we're desperate for some ratings."
     We go to Jeff who looks around him from front to back. He takes a deep
breath and exhales heavy. He began strolling to the middle of the hall where
behind him. Buster and Babs ran across to their places. He stops right there.
(The words are said from Jeff's mind from here on, but expression are written
in a different line. What Jeff says is like a poem.)
  Jeff begins:
 Through the halls, in every corner
 There are students, talking to each other,
     He begins to walk very slowly, and everything around seems to be in slow
motion. In the next two lines he watches Plucky and Hamton and this is what
he talks about them.
 Gossip goes on, through every ear
 Feelings are passed from far and near,
     Plucky was whispering in Hamton ear and it made him laugh. Plucky looks at
the pig wondering what could have so funny. In next two lines Jeff stops and
looks around him.
 Everybody is with someone, someone to see
 No one is alone, no one but me.'
     He bends down his head in depression from the last four words in the last
line. He breaths deeply again and starts walking slowly. He came up to
Buster, Babs, Shirley, and Fifi in a group. They saw him and they waved for
him to by them. He shook his head but kept looking at them.
 My friends are there, in an even group
 With me by them, would make it odd as soup,
J     ust then the tune of Animaniacs was heard with warners running through the
hall with Ralph chasing them and the song leaving with them.
 But not as odd as that!
     Jeff: "Okay, who let those freaks in?"
     Buster urged by waving as using his mouth, but Jeff shook his head as well as
his hand.
 I am a loner, but not a stranger
 I'm not the strange wolf cub, just the young fox hunter,
     He walks on looking straight ahead passing the group. He reaches a class
where he sees those who he met. They're entering the class in which he heads
for. He waits for everyone to enter the class so he can be the last one. He
walks for the class and stops in the middle of the doorway. He looks into
space and at the last line he look at his shoes.
 You see me with others, but I am on my own
 I have my friends, but I am still alone.
     He raises his head, turns, and goes into the class. In class, the students
noisy and are flying paper planes over heads. Jeff walks across in front of
the class to the end desk of the row. A big toon blocked Jeff and stuck out
his hand moving his fingers showing that he want money. Jeff moved the brut
aside but he grabbed Jeff by the collar. He raised him high in the air up
to bully's face. Jeff pulled out a mirror from his pocket and showed it to
the bully. He freaked out as he saw his reflection and through the door. He
then sits down in his chair and place his bag behind him. Turns around in his
chair and watches the class.
 In the class, fun is heard
 With paper soaring, talk by the word,
     He turns back to the front and looks at his desk. Then he stares at the
window. Where a bird rests at a nearby branch to the window.
 I sit in the front, in my corner
 By the window, where time grows longer,
     As he watches the bird, another bird passes by. The bird chases the other as
a game. They tweeter in happiness with the joy of freedom.
 I see the birds fly together, flying so free
 But I'm trapped alone, inside of me.
     One of the birds got shot down by stone. Jeff saw the toon with a slingshot
laughing at what he did. Jeff made slingshot with the snap of his fingers.
He felt evil and aimed for the bird but he couldn't do it. So he shot the
bird killer out the window. He turns away from the window and stares in front
at space. He gives face expressions to the four lines.
 Am I a human, or am I different?
 Maybe I should cut the crap, and be a reverent,
     For those who didn't guess the expressions. The first, a curious look, then
the second a disgusted face.
 Life have to go on, and then so should I
 To go on with this, to bad toons can't die,
     For the first line a normal but in the second a 'too bad' expression.  In the
second to last line, he closes his hand to a fist. In the last line, he opens
it out, points and shakes the finger for a 'no'.
 Toons stand together, they stand for their goal
 When I stand for mine, I don't stand alone.
     The bell rings and he breathes out heavily in relief. In the back, Buster and
Babs are watching him. They watched him as if they were examining him. They
saw resting his head on the desk. Jeff ends.
     Buster: "He actually made it through the first test."
     Babs: "Who knew?
     Buster: "I just hope he passes the mark the next test."
     Babs: "Oh? What is the next test?"
     Buster: "I can't tell but it's a real life challenge."
     Babs: "Why can't you tell me?"
     Buster: "'Cause the teacher just walked in."
     Babs: "Oh!"
     Yosemite Sam walked into the class and both went to their separate desks.
He stood in front of the class and everyone was immediately at their desks.
He sat down and began talking about something that's not important. We leave
this class, to come back to view the second test.

                                Act 2
                               ~~~~~~~
                              Class War

     Back at Acme Loo, the second test is about to begin in the class. In the
classroom, the desks and chairs are in four rows and three columns. Buster
sat in the first column, second row by the windows. Babs sat in the first
column, third row. At the front table, Yosemite Sam is sleeping with his 
head bend back to the blackboard. His mouth opened wide like a basketball
hoop. Babs reading with her book raised at angle. She looked at Sam for a
while, and then lowered her book. She whispers as not to disturb him.
     Babs: "The second test is the class. Here, the class is bored and Jeff
to find a way to make it more exciting. But it must not awake the teacher."
     We go to Jeff in the last column first row. His left hand was scratching
his hair under the flap of his cap. With a lit bulb over his head, he got his
hands ready to make his idea work. He took a sheet of paper under his desk
and placed it on top. With his fore finger and middle finger of his right
hand pointing. A little ball of magic fused between them. He placed his two
fingers on the paper. In a flash it disappeared, then at the same moment
amounts of papers came under every other student desk. Buster looked under
his desk and took a page. With the snap of Jeff's fingers, an image of a
paper plane came to Buster's mind. Buster a pencil and wrote on it. In a few
moments, Buster made a plane from the Red Baron's time. He twirled the
propellers and the plane flew off.
     It passed by Shirley and went straight for Babs. It flew above her head,
opened the bottom hatch and dropped a paper bomb. It landed on her head and
onto the table. She quickly rose her head from reading. She saw Buster
smiling now knowing it was him. She saw the plane fly back to him as well.
She took the paper bomb and opened it out. On the paper it said: 'War?' She
took her pencil from on top the desk. She wrote on it and then folded it into
an ordinary plane. She flew it pass Shirley and caught by Buster. He opened
it and it said: 'War!'.
     He looked up at her and saw her taking a page under the desk. She looked at
him with paper in the air and rested it onto her desk. This was the signal to
spread the word. To the right of Buster, he woke Plucky from day dreaming. He
told Plucky in his ear. When got it all he turned right to Hamton who was
sleeping. He shook him up and waited for him to open his eyes. Hamton's eyes
were half open but when Plucky told the information. His eyes slowly lit up.
He had a big smile when the news was given to him. Hamton then poked
Calamity.
     Babs turned left to Shirley and awoke her from her meditation. She
whispered in Shirley's ear and her face lit up with joy. Shirley then turned
to the left and awoke Fifi. She whispered in Fifi's ear and her face smiled
with pleasure. The word was spread to the front and back row. In the front,
Calamity told Furball and he told Jeff. In the back, Fifi told Concord, he
told Montana Max and he told Sweetie. The location of the these toons are to
be known. So as not to get a little confused. The names are in abbreviations
but not hard to understand. The dots are the desks.
			    Y.S
			Je. Fur. Cal.
			Bu. Plu. Ham.
			Fi. Shir. Ba.
			Con. Mon. Sw.
     A paper ball bounced on Babs' head and instantly thew a paper plane. It was
blown off coarse from Buster to Calamity. The plane wedged between his ears
while he was making something. He looked back and took out a catapult that
was large as half his arm. He loaded it and fired it far off to the near end
of the class. It landed hard at the side of Fifi's head. She quickly looked
around to see who did it. She took out a pea shooter and shot it out in
front. This went hard onto Furball's head. He looked back, took out a large
paper chunk, threw it up in the air and lashed it with his claws. This
flew in the air in four slices. All bounced on Shirley's head at one time.
She took up a hand size paper ball, charged it with her powers and threw it
across to the right of the class. This gave Buster quite a shock in the back.
Buster instant reflexes made him threw a narrow bomb in the back. This paper
ball landed on Hamton's forehead. This made him very angry, he took out a
large paper chunk and threw it in the back of the class. This hit Monty in
in the eye. He took a paper ball from on his desk, loaded a slingshot, and
strecthed it. Then he it go and this went hard onto Plucky's head. He looked
in the back, took a small wet paper ball. He threw it in the back of the
class and this really upset Sweetie. She took a rubber band put her two
fingers in it. She put a small paper ball on the band and strecthed. With her
mini sling shot, she fired over Monty's head. This ball stung Concord who
didn't do anything when he was hit.
     In the front, Jeff pointed with his two fingers at Yosemite. In a pop an
ear muffs popped on his head and he twitched. Everybody made little noise with
plenty paper of different shapes and sizes. He held a glowing ball of 
different colors in his two hands. Unknown to the class there was going to be
magic... everywhere! He took his glowing ball in his hands and threw above
his head. As he threw in the air, it bursts in millions of pieces. These
pieces spreads through the class to everything and everyone. The floor
changed into dirt, the ceiling was formed into dark skies. Instead of student
noises, the sounds of guns shots, bombing and aeroplanes. Buster set off his
plane but then it was him flying the plane. Suddenly bullets of paper came
at the side of his plane. A plane zoomed passed him behind the bullets. It
was Babs flying the usual hand made plane. Buster looked behind him then
turned back in front. He looked below him seeing Plucky in his tank. As
Buster flew back around Plucky, he told those inside to go. The tank slowly
moved while shooting with Plucky standing through the hole of the tank.
Far off sat Hamton on a chair connected to a large cannon. He saw Buster over
head and began firing enemy planes(the plane like Babs' own). Babs signalled
below to attack. The leader was Fifi dressed in full army gear. She lead the
troops firing through pea shooters. Plucky met up with Fifi and her troops
and ordered the men below in the tank to attack. The troops firing was very
rapid and gave Plucky's tank a lot of dents(since it was made of paper). The
tank hit a few troops but all in vain. Soon more bullets made the topple over
and Plucky ran for the hills. In front of him, was a hole with a sign that
said:'Fox Hole'. He dived into the hole with his legs bent back. Suddenly, he
scrambled out with a fox chasing him out. The fox stood there and changed into
Jeff snickering.
     Buster watched this disaster and across to Hamton's cannon area. The pig
saw blue ears' plane and got to his seat of his cannon. He sighted the troops
and fired. Plop!! Giant paper balls landed on several troops. They ran to
Hamton with Fifi leading the troops. Bangs were heard and the shouts of them
retreating with balls on their heads. Babs flies over to Shirley's mines with
Hamton and some troops following. Shirley sighted them and flipped a switch.
This activated money popping up from the ground. One troop saw and grabbed
one of them. He was fried into a weenie burger. This greedy fool grabbed two
making him shocked into a chirstmas tree. A next dummy was shocked his hair
off! A troop then handed him a box of Rogaine. Another moron was fried into a
turkey dinner. This idiot got shocked into a neon light that says, "Please,
Eat at Joe's". This sly dog grabbed many with wires attached to them. Shirley
saw this and pressed a red button. It activated them to shock the poor
sucker. Hamton stood outside the mine field and watched in despair at these
stupid numskulls.
     Buster flies over Calamity's missile area where large missiles stand.
Calamity looked up in the sky and saw Buster's plane. A blue cloth was thrown
out of the plane. This was a signal that Calamity understood. He went to his
control panel. He picks up binoculars and searches through the war field for
the target. He spots Shirley launching grenade bombs. He sets his target and
pulls a lever. This activates a giant catapult. Shirley threw grenades at
Hamton's troops when Calamity's giant missile hurdled toward her. She dashed
at the side to flip a switch. It activated a large spring which bounced it
over her. Shirley watched as it bounced and blew up her ammo shed. Babs
pounded twice on her plane and curved south. Meanwhile, Monty was
watching Buster and Babs battle. He turned around and raised a fist at the
troops behind him. They nodded and pulled back two giant slingshots, already
loaded. They were fired in the direction of Buster and Babs. Buster's plane
had a large paper cut under it. At the same time, Babs got a cut beneath her,
and looked under her skirt to see a large rip. Both looked at each other
convinced that it was done by them. Babs took out a pink ribbon from her
plane and dropped it over Sweetie's launching site. Sweetie pressed a red
button marked 1 and a long thin paper bomb was shot out by a rubber band.
Calamity spots the bomb and fires the catapult. He watches at the missile
heading for the thin bomb. The two miss each other and the missile blows up
Sweetie's launching site and the thin bomb blows up Calamity's missile area.
     Buster and Babs watched in their planes behind them at the ruins. As they
both turned around and saw that they are going to crash. Boom!. They floated
down in parachutes struggling with each other. On the ground, Monty raised
his fist in the air and they charged over him. Buster and Babs sat and
watched them trample over fallen troops. They shook with fear until they
heard the horn of the calvary. With Furball leading the troops, they went
into a insane battle. The blue squadron(Furball's men)jumped on the green
squadron(Monty's men)and pounded on their helmets. Some wedged the blue team,
some made the green team swallow hand grenades. The dust rolled covering
everyone of their fighting. When it rolled away every troop was on the
ground. Monty looked up and saw it and laughed in triumph. Until Concord came
from behind with a giant bazooka. Monty stood in shock as Concord on top of a
small hill, above Monty. Concord points down on Monty and pulled the trigger.
The rocket boosters was fired and shook in the bazooka. It came out slowly
wobbling out of it. Monty stood there shivering as the rocket came closer. It
closed in with his brows sweating and...Briiing. The sound of school bell went
and all ran out the class door.
     Buster: "Man, that was excellent!"
     Babs: "Totally. Too bad it had to be in silence, Jeff."
     Jeff: "Well, it couldn't wake up old Sammy ya know."
     Buster: "But what you made was so realistic."
     Babs: "Yeah!"
     Just then, Monty came out with his body and clothes burnt and smoking.
     Monty: "Grrrr, too realistic."
     With this he walked off to his next class grumbling.

                                Act 3
                               ~~~~~~~
                             In the end...

     In the halls of the school, toons were crowding at the sides of the walls.
Banners and decorations hanged from the walls and ceilings. With a red
horizontal line across the floor in front where most of the toons were.
Buster and Babs were found near the red line. They were arguing, showing
physical disagreements.
     Buster: "I'm telling ya, the kid will beat this last test!"
     Babs: "Pl-ease! I'll bet five bucks that he'll won't make it."
     Plucky: "Hey! I'll bet ten bucks that he'll lose."
     As he popped behind Babs. Jeff walked in over hearing the bet.
     Jeff: "Oh thank you for your support, Plucky."
     Plucky: "I do my best."
     Babs whispers to Buster: "Which is properly his worst."
     The two bunnies giggled then Buster tapped Jeff on the shoulder. Buster
showed his watch to Jeff to tell him it was almost time. Jeff nodded sadly
and sighed then bent his head down. Buster pitied him and patted him on the
back.
     Buster: "Poor kid. This is the last test for him, and everything counts.
In this test, it's like an obstacle course, full of challenges of what it
takes to be a tiny toon. Finally, the judges will add up and tell if he makes
the cast."
     Just then Babs tapped Buster on the shoulder.
     Babs: "Hey Buster! We have to go."
     Buster: "Now?"
     She nods with her eyes closed.
     Buster: "Alright. Well toonsters we'll be seeing ya."
     With that the two bunnies went down the hall and away from the race. At the
starting line Jeff was jogging on the spot to warm up. On the speakers an
announcer spoke for the race.
     Announcer: "Let the race finish."
     Jeff: "Oh great! Just what I don't need, an annoying announcer!"
     Announcer: " I'm Jake Annoy and I'm here for the final test. Sooooo,
let's get ready to fummmmble."
     Jeff: "Aw, gimme a break."
     Jake: "Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar."
     He grumbled 'Oh brother' and shook his head. He stopped jogging and beat
down into racing position.
     Jake: "On your mark, get ready, get set, get ready to get set..."
     Jeff: "Just say it!"
     Jake: "Go!"
     He jumped up and moved his legs into high speed. Sweat leaked from his cap
and he wiped his brow. Suddenly, he now noticed that he wasn't going
anywhere. In fact his legs where running on the spot. He stopped and lowered
the hand brake on his right leg. His spun his legs in mid-air and took off
leaving a trail of dust. He turned up on the wall and stopped on his heels.
In front of him were two biker pigs on hogs wearing black jerseys and black
leather jackets with chains on it.
     Jake: "These are the Road Hogs and they hate people in orange caps."
     Jeff: "You really know how to pick 'em."
     The bikers revved their hogs getting ready to run over him and gulped hard.
Jeff pulled out his quill from under his cap and it turned into a checker
flag and his clothes changed like the flag soon after.
     Jeff: "Okay fellas ya'll know the rules. The name of the race is chicken
and the first to stop from the wall at he end of this hall wins. Let me just
remind you that the one on the left here stole your babe and fighting for to
get her back."
     The two looked at each other vengefully and revved their bikes hard. Smoke
came out of funnels. He raised the flag and they bent forward eagerly.
     Jeff: "Get ready...get set...GO!"
     The zoomed off and Jeff did a back flip onto the lockers before they ran
over him. They raced neck and neck, they pushed forward to get ahead of each
other. They reached near the wall and drove to the limit and BOOM! The two
suckers rammed into wall and exploded the bikes. Jeff jumped down and with a
snap he got back his normal clothes. His flag turned back into a quill and
it zipped into the cap. He ran off in trail of dust after he rasberryed the
disabled hogs. He ran angry at the event he ran into.
     Jeff: "Oh brother! What next? An angry mob of villagers with torches?"
     Just then an angry mob of villagers with torches stomped far in front of
him. He stopped instantly and dropped his mouth opened to the floor.
     Jake: "Yeeeees, you asked for it and you got it a mean, vicious, blood
thirsty, cut throatin'..."
     Jeff: "Alright already, I get the point! By the stars, every single
chance he gets, he..." He goes on mumbling to himself.
     He dashed to right hall in front of him to think up a plan. He paced up and
down scratching his hat. He took off his glasses and cleaned them with his
shirt. He puts it back on and continues to solve the task. A cloud of thought
came above his mind. Destruction as demolished bricks+monster=angry villagers
popped in the cloud one after the other. He snapped his fingers as an idea
came to him as he watched the monster. As the villagers approached near the
corner hall. We find Jeff winding up a giant wind up Frankenstein! He pulled
the key out walked off in a stalking movement like real one. The villagers
approached the hall and gazed upon the monster. It walked down the hall and
they turned to him and looked back at the toy monster. They stared at it dumb
like and stomped after it. Jeff posed in position to hit 120 k/m.
     Jeff: "This is too weird to be real."
     After this he zoomed out of the hall, up another and turned left a little
way up. In this different hall Babs watches Buster tries to pull open a
locker. Buster struggles with his feet on the locker while Babs folds her
arms at his poor display. Monty walks up to see this pitiful act and began
laughing at them. A sudden voice chilled thier spines in an instant and they
turned to see the frightening thing.
     Elmyra: "Hello my cute fuzzy wuzzies! Elmyra has come to play!"
     They stood in terror as they saw her walking up the hallway. Monty dashed
to a door on the other of the hall. He jumps on the doorknob and tries to
pull it open. The door was locked and the only way out was where Elmyra was.
     Elmyra: "I've got my two favorite bunny wunnies and my cutest boyfriend
to carry home with me."
     Monty: "I am NOT your boyfriend!"
     Buster and Babs huddled together shivering with fear. Monty stood against
the wall with his hands searching for something to grab on. No way out, no
tricks only them and total fear, Elmyra.
     Babs: "Oh Buster, is there anyone who can help us?"
     Buster: "I was about t ask the same question."
     A hole enlarged from out of nowhere above them with Jeff poking his head
out from it. He saw Elmyra then looked down in joy to see the two bunnies.
     Jeff: "Ask and you shall receive."
     He stretched out his hands and they grabbed both and pulled into the hole.
     Monty: "Hey! What about me?"
     Jeff poked out of the hole again and grinned at him.
     Jeff: "You didn't asked."
     He puts his head back into the hole and it disappeared. Max then turned
to be grabbed like a vice with the hands of Elmyra. Hearts of love floated
from Elmyra and squeezed harder making him cry out in pain. In another hall,
the hole appeared and the trio jumped out of it. Jeff grabbed the hole and
squeezed it into nothing with his two hands. The two bunnies wiggled both
their ears in amazement. 
     Babs: "Wow! Thanks Jeff."
     Buster: "Yeah, thanks a lot."
     Jeff: "Ah, no problem. See ya later."
     He waved goodbye to them and started off down the hall. The two bunnies
watched him run down the end of the hall and turned the left corner. Buster
faced Babs with a grin that reached both ends of his face.
     Buster: "Okay, Babs you know what to do."
     Babs: "Alright, alright, hold your horses. Lemme pull out my purse."
     She took out her purse from her skirt pocket and grumbled why they let kids
gamble. She opened it and her eyes turned into shock but quickly changed into
anger.
     Babs: "All my money is gone!"
     Buster: "What? How can that happen?"
     Babs: "I don't know but want my money. That thief better show me the
money."
     In another hall, Jeff whistles as he counts a large sum of money.
     Jeff: "I do have my expenses ya know."
     He folded the money in half and slipped in his pocket. He felt the
uncertainty of the announcer and knew he was watching Jeff.
     Jeff: "Don't worry, I'll give her back the money...in time."
     Jake: "How long will that be?"
     Jeff: "I was thinking in a few years...if she remembers by then."
     He spun his legs at top speed and swoosh down the hall. He ran onto the
wall and around the corner. Suddenly, he braked on his heels and looked
high above him. A large silver robot with big guns at the upper part of its
body with red lights blinking on its rectangular head. The guns aimed at him
and charged up to full blast. He stared at the large robot and took a big
gulp. Fizzzz. Went the robot's guns burning Jeff's body in his body of black
soot. He shook of the cover of soot seeing his body in one peace.
     Robot: "Pre-pare-to-die."
     Jeff stood with autumn designed luggage in each arm. Dressed in female
southern clothes with a pink bonnet. He had thin long lashes with a
southern voice.
     Jeff: "But I declare, I haven't packed all my clothes yet!"
     The robot charged up its guns and zapped the luggage to black dust. He held
up the handles that were left in of the luggage and his face grew red.
     Jeff: "Those were my matching luggage!!"
     Jeff shook off those southern clothes and placed his hand on the flap of
his cap. He spun his cap like a helicopter and hovered up to the robot. He
faced it eye to eye and a hatch opened above its eyes. A mechanical hand
wearing a white glove slowly came out and Jeff gave a smirk.
     Jeff: "Pleeease, that mechanical gloved hand cuff trick has been done."
     The hand quickly opened and swiftly placed then open palm on his hand.
Causing the spinning to stop leaving Jeff high and dry in the air. Jeff
looked at the stop very bewildered and faced the robot.
     Jeff: "Oh the stop the flying person in the air who will suddenly fall
trick."
     Ending with this he just dropped to with a loud, THUMP! He got up slowly
with his hand on his dizzy head. He shock his and looked up at the robot to
see its next move. Jeff heard the familiar humming of the guns that was aimed
at him.
     Robot: "Time-to-fry."
     Jeff did some quick thinking and hoped that its circuits would fry with
this plan.
     Jeff: "Yo, wait a minute! Why do you want to fry me?"
     Robt: "I..."
     Jeff interrupted: "I mean I'm a pretty nice guy don't ya think?"
     Robot: "I..."
     Jeff: "Well, I know there're people who don't think so but you're not one
of them, are you?"
     Robot: "I..."
     Jeff: "What's the matter, cat got your tongue?"
     Robot: "I..."
     Jeff: "I wonder why they say that? Do you know?"
     Robot: "I..."
     Jeff: "I mean couldn't they use a different animal besides a cat?"
     Robot: "I..."
     Jeff: "I, I, I, I. What wrong, you got an eye problem?"
     Before the robot could answer Jeff was in front of his face. He grabbed the
robotic eye out of its socket. Sparks flew as pulled it out and Jeff examined
it.
     Jeff: "Looks normal to me."
     He flung it over his shoulder and jumped down. He watched the robot begin
to rock as its eye was removed.
     Robot: "Must-re-treive-eye."
     Jeff: "Oh why you need that old thing for? It's not like your blind."
     Robot: "But..."
     Jeff: "I mean you have another eye and your sensors don't you"
     Robot: "But..."
     Jeff: "Then again you can never trust on your senses but then again you
no choice now do you?"
     Robot: "But..."
     Jeff: "Your butt? Hey this is the last favor I'm doing for you man!"
     He dashed behind the robot and opened the hatch for his butt. He jumped in
leaving his legs sticking out in the open hatch. Soon colored wires flew out
then circuits were thrown out. Metal parts and weird iron structures were
also dug out. Then a drill was heard inside the robot and metal pieces flew
out. Next, a blow torch was heard and a red light was flashing inside. The
robot was sweating and twiddled his fingers. Hammering was now heard then jack
hammering followed by a pick axe.
     Jeff came out with a pick axe and swiped the hatch to close it. He walked
to the front of it with a big smile on his face. The robot began to twitch in
the neck and chest. Sparks flew at the arm, waist, eye, chest and knee. Disco
was being played in the robot and  it began to 'shake its booty'. It slide
to the left then to the right. It did the hustle, the swim and the boogie.
     Jeff stood against the wall watching the robot and checked his watch. He
counted the seconds: three, two, one. Out of no where came out the Dancing
Baby with an aggressive look. The baby charged at the robot beating the crap
out of it.
     D.Baby: "Try to intimidate me will you? I'm the only king of dance!"
     Jeff crept at the side of the wall to avoid being hit in the brawl. He
covered his face with his hand as some hits were too brutal. He stopped at
the end of the hall for a last look then dashed off. When an squashed
arm flew at him.
     Jeff ran down a short hall and stopped at the corner and looked up to see
people, banners, flags. And the finishing line!
     Jake: "Uh oh! Time's running out.
     Jeff saw digital timer that had ten seconds to go! His face lit up and ran
faster than fans to see Puff Daddy. He ran and ran and ran and ran and ran
but getting no where. It was true, the finishing line wasn't getting any
closer. Jef stopped and looked at his feet and saw that the floor was moving!
It was like an electric running track moving towards him preventing him to go
forward. Seven seconds left! He stood firm with his hands like in prayer but
palms not touching. He began spinning and at the five seconds he disappeared.
     A little bit away from the finishing line Jeff reappeared at four seconds.
He ran for the finishing line as he stopped spinning but slipped and fell hard
on his face.
     Jake: "Three..."
     Jeff quickly got up in that second.
     Jake: "Two..."
     He press his legs down leaped for the line but slipped and flew for it.
     Jake: "One..."
     His arms outstretched and reached closer to the red line. He stretched his
arm to its limit with sweat streaming down his face. Bam! He slammed his body
to the ground and went out.
     Jake: "Zero..."
     He woke up and gasped at what he saw in front of him. His hand went over
the finishing line and everyone stood speechless at this. He pulled up
himself very slowly and got to his knee. Plucky and Hamton helped him up then
the cheering start to begin. He felt all warm inside that everyone was glad
for him to join the cast. People patted him on the back and shook his hands
as they passed by. Then the speakers was turned on. Waving flags and blowing
party whistles.
     Babs: "You made it! You made the cast!"
     Jake: "Hey! Just because he made it through the race. Doesn't mean he
will join the cast. The judges have to add up the total from scores of the
three tests. Remember that he's aiming for a score to be a minor character."
     Everybody awed and dropped their flags and stopped blowing their whistles.
They dropped thier hopes and their smiles just like Jeff.
     Jeff: "You can sure spoil a moment, can you?"
     Jake: "I sure can."
     Everybody mumbled to each other making a loud noise in the hall. Buster
looked at his watch and Babs let out a big yawn. Plucky scratched his head
while Jeff amused Hamton with a ball of magic swinging in the air. Then a
tapping on the speakers was heard.
     Jake: "Ahem, I now have the results of the total amount of scores, so
check please your bets"
     Everybody checked their betting papers and Jeff looked around in shock to
see this.
     Jake: "Well, here it is. Jeff didn't get enough scores to make it as a
minor character."
     Jeff lowered his head and shook it in disappointment. Babs patted him on
his shoulder for pity. Buster's sad face turned into an angry look when he
saw Plucky collecting money from kids who bet on Jeff to win.
     Buster: "Man, all that work for nothin'. I'm sorry you couldn't make
it."
     Babs: "Yeah, it's just not fair!"
     He sighed heavily and raised his head.
     Jeff: "Uh huh. I might as well go, there's nothing else to here."
     Buster: "But where will you go?"
     Jeff: "Well, you'll see me in the extras casting line."
     With that, Jeff walked down the hall away from everyone. Before he reached
the red line a familiar voice called out to him on the speakers.
     Jake: "Hey Jeff."
     Jeff: "Yeah."
     Jake: "Even though you didn't make it as a minor..."
     Jeff waited for the rest of what he had to say. He grew impatient and
folded his arms.
     Jake: "...you made the MAJOR!!!"
     Jeff's bottom lip dropped as well as his arms. It was a dead silence for a
few moments then the shouting and screaming and hooraying burst out. He stood
still while everyone gathered around him. After while he snapped out of it
began doing what he did for the first celebration.
     Babs: "Oh my gosh! You actually made it to be a major character!"
     Buster: "Unbelievable!"
     Jeff: "You're tell me?!"
     Plucky: "This is outrage!"
     They turned Plucky at his words seeing his smothered with angry people.
     Buster: "What's wrong, Plucky?"
     Plucky: "I have to 'give' my money back to people. Since I lost the bet
against Jeff."
     They smiled at this and Jeff let out a heavy 'whew' as there was nothing
else that would cause anything but happiness. That all his work paid off and
there was nothing to worry about. There was only happiness and joy was to be
known and celebrated.
     Jake: "Hold it! Hold it!"
     All the noise stopped and everyone looked at the speaker.
     Jake: "Alright, everybody listen. Now I just got this message from the
committee. Since Jeff is joining the cast there have to be a few changes."
     Jeff: "Changes?!"
     Jake: "Yup. First, the clothes..."
     Jeff: "Hey! Now wait a minute."
     Jake: "The pants has to be blue jeans."
     From where Jeff stood he saw his pants from bottom to the top, the color
blue went straight up. It stopped at the top of his pants and Jeff looked up
at the speaker very angrily.
     Jake: "Next, you should be wearing a purple sweater with short sleeves."
     The same reaction happened to the shirt as the pants. The sleeveless jacket
disappeared by fading away. The shirt was now a purple sweater and Babs
smiled at this.
     Babs: "Hey Buster, he's got the same top as you. Maybe you two are mystic
brothers."
     Both Buster and Jeff gave a look at Babs as if she was taking madness. Then
they looked at each other and checked each others clothes.
     Jeff: "She's been taking those imported coffee, hasn't she?"
     Buster: "It has to be, it would explain the frizzle at ends of her ears.
Besides, I don't see similarity."
     Jeff: "Neither do I."
     But they both thought, 'Oh, my gosh it's the same!"
     Jake: "Now the cap..."
     Jeff: "Hold it right there. No one messes with the cap!"
He marched through the crowd to a door that said 'WB committee'. He entered
and slammed the door behind him. Shouting and banging was heard inside the
room. People leaned against the wall to hear what was going on. It sounded
like chairs were thrown about and somebody was slammed against a table. Then
it stopped and soon after Jeff walked out with his clothes rumpled all over.
He straighten his clothes and fixed his glasses as well as dusted himself
off.
     Jeff: "They came up to my terms. 'Cause no one messes with the cap!"
     Everybody was semi shocked about what he said but said nothing.
     Jake: "Alright, now that's over let's move on. Next we lower your
magic to level two."
     Jeff: "What? But I just reached level three for the past two years!"
     Plucky: "Oh wow, that's a big lost."
     Jeff: "Hey! Level three magic able me to do magic only Copperfeild
dreams to do. Now I'll never know Penn and Teller secrets."
     Jake: "Oh, brother! Let's just get on with it."
     There was flicker of light on Jeff's fingers and in the cap. Soon after
billions of lighted sprinkles flew out from under his cap which spun. They
spread outwards and disappeared in seconds. The cap stopped spinning and
the lighted sprinkles ceased coming out. Jeff shook his head and banged it
with his hand.
     Jeff: "Merlin, I know it was you 'cause only you would laugh in my cap."
     Jake: "Well, if your done taking to voices in your head. Can we go on?"
     Jeff: "Do I have to?"
     Jake: "Umm, yes you do. The next thing is changing your character which
you have to do by yourself."
     Jeff: "Alright!"
     Jake: "Don't get your hopes up. Your character description is a boy who
is helpful, smart, loves a challenge, nice but a little aggressive."
     Jeff: "Yeah I've got that."
     Jake: "So now the Big bosses at the WB want you to be sarcastic, an
anyone to talk to guy, someone who loves revenge....well that it is a basic
thing to be part of the cast. Anyway, the other thing is that to be mysterious
about your life."
     Babs crept up to Jeff as she heard the word 'mysterious'.
     Babs: "Mysterious! What kind of mystery are you hiding?"
     Jeff gave an odd look to her and raised an eye brow.
     Jake: "A lot of secrets."
     Jeff: "Don't tell her."
     Babs: "Secrets! I would love hear some secrets."
     Jake: "Well, like, he's single, he lives alone, travelled around the
whole world by himself for some years..."
     Jeff: "Hey! If you tell her one more secret, I'll make you so ugly even
death wouldn't bare to take you."
     Jake: "In that case... the final thing that has to be changed is your
name. The board thinks that 'Jeff' is not toony name so it has to changed."
     Jeff: "What?! What are they going to change my name to?"
     Jake: "Umm, they don't really have any ideas as yet."
     Jeff: "Okay, so until they think up of a name for me, my name is Jeff."
     Just then, a big fox walked through the crowd pushing everybody out of his
way. He almost knocked down Jeff with his arm. He stopped when he hit him and
looked down at him.
     Fox: "Hey careful there, shorty."
     With that the fox left and all the toons grew a big grin on their faces. He
look around with an old look.
     Buster: "That's not bad name, don't ya think so Babsie?'
     Babs: "I like it, I ike it."
     Plucky: "Shorty...it has a nice ring to it. Shorty, Shorty, Shorty..."
     That started the whole crowd cheering this name. Putting their hands in the
same beat.
     Crowd: "Shorty, Shorty, Shorty, Shorty, Shorty, Shorty, Shorty..."
     Jake: "Listen, listen everybody! The board has made a decision."
     Everybody silenced and awaited what he had to say.
     Jake: "They have decided that Jeff's new name is...Shorty!"
     Crowd: "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Shorty."
     Shorty: "Nooooooooooooo! Don't call me that!"
     Buster walked up to him as well as Babs.
     Buster: "Forget it. Once the says it's so, then it's so."
     Babs: "Yeah, besides it can't get any worse."
     Jake: "Opps! I almost forgot. Since you worked as a props man, you're
going to work as that also with no pay."
     Shorty: "Oh that's wonderful! Why don't they just burn my skin?"
     The school bell rang and everybody ran out of the school. Shorty
stood there with Buster, Babs and Plucky. They walked down the hall to
outside of the Looniversity. Down the stairs, pass the statues, to the front
of the stone arc entrance. Before they separated Buster stopped Jeff by
placing his hand on his shoulder.
     Buster: "I just wanna say personally that I'm glad you're on the cast."
     Plucky: "Well, me too but I'm still angry that I lost all my money and
more."
     Shorty: "Oh yeah, that reminds me. Here Babs, this is your money."
  Babs took it from him quickly.
     Buster: " 'Ahem' Babs, my money."
     She frowned and took some cash and slammed it in his hand. She then
checked closely to her money and flew her head up with fire in eyes of anger.
     Babs: "Hey! There're thirty bucks missing."
     Jeff walked forward in a steady pace.
     Shorty: "Gee Babs, I don't really know about that."
     He took out some cash from his pocket and flicked the bills. They watched
him walk down into the forest and disappear into the trees. Plucky turned to
the two rabbits with his hands on his hips.
     Plucky: "You think he's really happy to join Tiny Toons?"
     Buster: "I don know Plucky, we'll probably see it in some sign."
     Just then Shorty jumped high out of the trees with birds flying out of their
branches.
     Shorty: "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssss! I made it!"
     Babs: "I'm pretty sure he's really happy."
     They watched and smiled as they see him descend into the trees. Then a loud
BUMP was heard, showing that he fell hard.
     Shorty: "Owwwwwww!"
     Buster said his final words of the day.
     Buster: "He'll fit in just fine."
     They left the scene leave the school empty and silent. Except the pounding
and cries of the robot being rolled and banged by the Dancing Baby.
