Back in the real world, it is nighttime Daffy and Bugs are under the grass, making their way to Michael's house. Daffy grumbles, "The view back here stinks!" Bugs stops and sees the house, "Whoa!" He bumps into Daffy. Daffy rubs his back, "Ow! What?" Bugs looks at the black duck, "We're right in front of Michael's house."

"I knew that."

"Shh! Okay let's go in this way."

"I'd say let's go in that way!"

They go in different directions. Bugs goes into the house, and Daffy goes into the backyard. Bugs shakes his head, "He just never learns." Bugs went in the house, and Daffy went to the backyard, only to get attacked by Charles. Inside the house, Bugs comes out from under the rug singing to himself. "Nice digs."

As he fixes the rug, he hears knocking on the door. "Well, well. I wonder who that could be." Bugs opens the door, and Daffy comes in, dizzy and with some feathers missing, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star..." He falls down.

Bugs whispers to Daffy, "Shh. Everyone's sleeping." Daffy gets up, "I knew that." Bugs closes the front door and rolls his eyes, "Come on, come on. We gotta find Michael's basketball stuff." They walk down the hall to look for the basketball gear. Bugs opens the right door and peeks, "Nope. Nothing in here." He closes the door.

Daffy opens the left door and peeks, "Nope. Ahh, but a very nice dinette set." He closes the door as Bugs peeks through another door, "Uh uh. Not here. Let's look upstairs." Daffy sarcastically bows, "Yes. Oh, fearless leader." They both go upstairs; they open the first door slowly. Daffy looks around, "So he needs his special underwear..." He sees Jasmine sleeping.

"Shh!"

Daffy quietly whispers back, "Sorry. You think she's got enough toys?" Bugs shrugs, "Speaking of toys, you know all these mugs and t-shirts and lunchboxes with our pictures on 'em?"

"Yeah."

As they talk, Jasmine wakes up and sees shadows of Bugs and Daffy. Bugs and Daffy leave the room. Bugs closes the door, "You, uh ever see any money from all that stuff?" Daffy scoffs, "Not a cent."

"Hmm, me neither."

Jasmine gets out of her bed, wanting to see them. Daffy sighs, "It's a crying shame. We gotta get new agents. We're getting screwed." They go inside the room at the end of the hall and close the door. Jasmine sees the door closed and smiles.

Bugs looks around the room as Daffy follows, "We have found the trophy room. Now spread out and search the place." Daffy bows, "Yes, sahib. Oh, brother." He turns on the lamp, muttering to himself, "I am in the peak of the form, playing second banana to some sort of harebrain..."

Bugs turns away from his friend, "Yap, yap, yap." He sees the North Carolina bag, "Hmm. This could be useful. Aha!" He grabs the bag and starts looking for the gear. "Hmm." Bugs sees the sneaker, "Oh, one of his shoes." He puts the sneaker in the bag and looks around, "Where is that other shoe?"

Bugs starts speaking in a sing-songy voice, "Where are you?" The gray rabbit spots the sneaker on the stand, "Eureka!" He gets the chair and climbs on it, "Come to Papa." As Bugs climbs up, Jasmine peeks in and sees them. Bugs nearly slips, and the trophy falls, "Oops!" Daffy looks at him, annoyed, "What a fuzz foot. You are so clumsy!"

Bugs reaches the shoe and push it off, "Catch, feather head." Daffy catches it with the bag, "Thanks." Bugs looks back at the stand and notices a picture of Malin and the Jordan family. Meanwhile, Jasmine leaves to tell her brothers, as she walks away, Daffy and Bugs are about to leave.

Bugs jumps down and takes the bag from Daffy, "Well, time to go."

"Did we get everything?"

Daffy and Bugs freeze and realize the one thing they need, "The shorts!" Bugs sees the door to his left, "In there?" Daffy walks to the door, "Okay, I'll check." He opens the door and sees Charles growling at him who has the shorts in his mouth, then Daffy closes the door and gets scared, "I found the shorts."

Bugs jumps as Charles breaks down the door and makes it fall on Daffy. Dizzy, and coming out from under the door, Daffy gasps, "The pain." Then he runs up to Bugs, "I'm right behind you, pal."

"Uh, that's none too reassuring."

Daffy pulls out a bone, "Nice puppy. How about a bone?" Charles doesn't take it and slowly approaches them, "No dice." Daffy grips Bugs' arm. As Charles corners Bugs and Daffy menacingly, Jasmine, Marcus, and Jeff peek through the door, and they see what's going on.

Bugs pulls out a ham, "What about a nice holiday ham?" Charles doesn't take it either. "He ain't buying it. Can't we talk this over rover?" Daffy is hugging Bugs, scared, "Down, Beethoven."

Bugs sees the kids, "Ooh! The kids are here." The kids come into the room, and Jeff grabs the shorts. "Give it to me, Charles!" Charles is snarling and won't let go of the shorts, he pulls it out of Charles's mouth and gives the shorts to Bugs. "Here you go, Bugs."

Bugs starts chuckling and gives him a thumbs up, "Thanks, kid." Marcus waves Charles away, "Shoo! Shoo!" Charles whimpers and leaves the room. Daffy glares at the retreating dog, "Bad dog! That is the last time I'm ever working with dogs or children!"

Bugs ignores Daffy and starts walking away, "Bye-bye." Jeffrey Jordan stops them, "Hey, where you going?" Bugs stops with Daffy behind him, "Well, uh, you see, the Looney Tunes have a big basketball game coming up, and uh, your dad and Malin's gonna play."

"All right!"

"Yeah, but don't tell anybody."

Jeff nods his head, and Bugs and Daffy leave the house. The two toons dashed out of the house and towards the entrance to Toonland. As they walked, Bugs started thinking about Malin's new ability to transform. How she was able to shape-shift into a toon and...

"Wait, not yet..."

Telepathically... communicate years ago... The gray rabbit nearly stops walking as Daffy mutters to himself. Her mother was related to R.L. Stine. The story of Madison, Delaware was well-known to Toonland. How could he not notice before?!

Back at the golf course, Stan stopped digging through the golf hole, shouting about Michael not wanting to spend time with him. Bugs and Daffy are walking by, but they don't see him.

Daffy glances at Bugs, "You better hope this Jordan character still knows how to play hoops." Bugs sighs, "You and me both, brother." As they talk, Stan hears them and noticed them. He drops the shovel and spies on them as they walk by. Daffy raises his hand in the air, "Listen, how's this for a new team name? The ducks!"

"Please. What kind of Mickey Mouse organization would name their team, the Ducks?"

"So sure me, it's just a suggestion." Daffy takes the flag pole off a golf hole and they both dive in the hole. Stan saw them and he runs to follow them.

As the two go through the hole, Daffy takes the bag from Bugs and goes in front of him. Bugs follows behind but suddenly halts. His eyesight starts to go fuzzy and a pounding headache joins moments later.

He grabs his head and lowly hisses in pain. His eyes widen at what he sees.

Malin was shaking as she held something. A tall figure stood before her, wearing a black coat and hat, holding a gun. Malin shifts into a different position, showing Bugs himself in her arms, wounded. "Please! Please wake up!" Malin cries out.

The tall figure laughs, "I shot him with a Dipped bullet, child. Unless you do as I say, I'll shoot him again." Bugs felt a shiver go down his spine.

No... No, he was dead. He died in the dip!

The figure turns around. Judge Doom. Bugs gasps, feeling and hearing him shoot at his chest in Malin's arms.

"Bugs!!!!"

"Bugs!"

The rabbit snaps out of his strange trance, noticing Daffy near him with a concerned expression. "You've been staring at the floor for a good long while. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

The duck frowns in worry, unsure if he should believe his companion. Bugs nervously grins at Daffy and continues walking, leaving him to watch his retreating form. "Well... okay, Bugs."
