Back in Looney Tunes Land, all of the Looney Tunes went to the theater for a meeting. Wile E. flies down from the sky, crashing through the roof, and lands on the floor. Then Daffy comes in with towels and holding a scrub brush. He steps on Wile E.'s nose, "Stop the music." He shoves Foghorn, "Top duck coming through!"

"Hey!"

Daffy Duck grows annoyed, "Geez! It's getting so a guy can't even get himself wet around here." He looks at Bugs, "So, what's the big emergency?" Bugs is tied up in chains, and the Nerdlucks are standing by him as he answers.

"Uh, these little guys would like to make an announcement." He passes the microphone to Pound, "Here you go, shorty."

"Go." Bang pushed Pound. "All right, All right." Pound steps forward and clears his throat to the tunes. "You, all of you, are now our prisoners!" He grins evilly.

There was a moment of silence then the tunes started laughing. Sylvester laughs harder, "Ooh, we're in big trouble now." Pound felt embarrassed as they laughed at him; he looked around and doesn't know what to say. Nawt takes the microphone to continue the announcement. "We are taking you to our theme park in outer space."

Blanko steps in, "No fooling." Nawt continues, "Where you'll be our slaves and placed on display to the amusement of our paying customers." The tunes just rolled their eyes at what Nawt said. Daffy dramatically grabs his chest, "Oh, fear clutches to my breast." He starts laughing with the tunes, and Yosemite Sam jumps on stage, firing his guns, "We ain't a-going nowheres!"

Sam points his gun at Pound, but Pound pulls his laser gun and zaps Sam. Sam's clothes, hat, and guns are gone; he is in his underwear and charred. Daffy and all of the other tunes put their hands up in fear. The Nerdlucks point their lasers at them.

"Eh, not so fast, doc." Bugs is taking the chains off him, "You can't just turn us into slaves; that would be bad. You've gotta give us a chance to defend ourselves." He pulls the chains off his ears.

Pound glares at him, "Oh yeah? Who says?" Nawt and Bupkus point their lasers at Bugs, "Says who?- What?" Bugs turns away and writes a note, "Just a sec." Then, he shows them a book that says, 'How to Capture Cartoon Characters', "There. Read 'em and weep, boys."

Pound takes the book, and they see a note that says, "Give them a chance to defend themselves." Bang rolls his eyes and groans, "Aw. Do we have to?" Nawt points at the note, "It's in the rule book."

Bupkus nods, "It is." Blanko grins, "Okay, it is in the rule book."

Bugs Bunny opens a door, "Uno momento. We have to confer." He closes the door. Inside the room, Bugs is standing in front of the American flag, wearing a military uniform. "All right, troops. It is for us to choose a battlefield that affords us."

Porky raises his hand, "Oh, I-I g-got it." Bugs looks at him, "Yes, Private Porkster?" The helmet on Bugs' head drops over his eyes. "How about w-w-we ch-ch-challenge them to a spelling bee?" Porky mentions. Elmer Fudd is holding his hat, "Say, we could have a bowling tournament. Hehehe..."

Sylvester approaches them, "Suffering succotash! What's wrong with all of ya? I say we get a ladder. Wait till the old lady's out of the room, then grab the little bird." Sylvester wheezes. Bugs tries calming Sylvester, "Whoa, whoa. Take a deep breath Sly." Sylvester calms down, pants, and nods his head.

"Okay, Let's analyze the competition here." Bugs pulls down the chart of the Nerdlucks, "Now, what are looking at here? We have a small race of invading aliens." Daffy looks at the chart, "Small arms, short legs." Elmer rubs his chin, "Not vewy fast." Sylvester pinches his fingers, "Tiny little guys."

Porky lowers his hand to the ground, "Can't jump high."

The Tunes, in unison, smile, "Uh-huh

The Tunes, in unison, smile, "Uh-huh." They pull up the chart and go outside to the Nerdlucks. Bugs has a basketball with him as he looks at them. "We challenge you to a basketball game." Bugs spins the ball around with his finger.

Pound points at the rabbit, "All right, basketball it is!" Nawt and Bang are clapping and jumping, "Basketball! Basketball!" Bupkus wags his tail happily, "Oh boy, Oh boy!" Blanko is excited but grows confused, "All right! What is basketball?"

The others stop and scratch their heads, "What's that?- Beats me.- We didn't have that in school.- I have no idea.- What?"

"Lights!" Bugs shouts. The lights turn off as the movie starts, showing basketball history. "An exhilarating team sport currently growing rapidly in popularity is basketball. Unlike football and baseball, only five men can play on a team. It's a fast-paced, razzle-dazzle game that requires wits and even faster reflexes. Here's how it's done in the professional ranks, the National Basketball Association, featuring the best players in the world."

The Nerdlucks are watching and listening to the movie. They all smiled, beginning to understand what basketball is. Then they have an idea. Nawt and Bupkus grin, "The best players in the world.- The best!" Pound smiled at the idea.

Bugs crosses his arms as the aliens now know what Basketball is about. Suddenly, his ears moved, trying to catch a sound that was heard before. He looks down, starting to think it was his imagination.

"Bugs... you're... in... trouble..."

The gray rabbit looks back at the audience. He squints his eyes at the far left corner. Is that... "Malin?" He mutters quietly. Just as he blinked, the image of the little girl he knew years ago disappeared, and in place was a young woman who smiled. The lights turned back on, and the woman was gone.

"Malin Cadell." The rabbit uttered under his breath.
