Disclaimer: I do not own Tiny Toons or any of it's characters.
A/N: Finally found the time and my interest to work on the next chapter for this. Same info as it was on the last two chapters. Speaking of which I wish to apologize for what I wrote in the last chapter that could've counted as 'sexual reference', I admit it was forced, immature, gross, and uncalled for. I apologize.
It was quiet in the TTA Lounge room this time. The only sounds that could be heard is the sounds of common chit-chat-tery.
Buster and Babs are fast asleep in the spare room, Fifi and Hamton were talking about the recent occurrences in the archive, and some lack of thereof for several of them. Plucky and Shirley were absent this time, along with Max, supposedly some other business had been called to their attention, and they had to leave for the time being.
"Not a bad move." Calamity stated to Furball, the two were playing a quiet game of chess
"Don't sell yourself short Calamity. You're not bad yourself." Furball replied as Calamity made his move, resulting in the loss of Furball's knight.
"I'm surprised in your efficiency of the game, Furball."
"I have lots of spare time to burn here and there."
"I agree, I sometimes wonder why I come here when I'm hardly called in TO work."
"Hey it's not that bad. At least Pokeblue was nice enough to begin working on a story just for you and Beeper."
"I guess."
"Hey, when you are you two boys going to finish this game. We need two other players." Sweetie stated as she landed on Calamity's head.
"We'll finish when we finish." Calamity stated, "Speaking of which, why are you on my head, instead of Furball's?"
"No reason." Sweetie replied with a shrug
"Maybe she's worried that I'd try eating her if she does." Furball stated
"Not like she's alone on that." Beeper (using a male voice) stated
Furball just gave a shrug and smug grin as he and Calamity continued their game.
"Forget these two. I'm going to ask Fifi and Hamton if they want to play." Sweetie complained as she flew off Calamity's head.
As Sweetie, Hamton, Fifi, and Concord played a video game, Beeper kept himself busy by watching Calamity and Furball play chess.
Calamity looked at Beeper from the corner of his eye as he made a move, then said, "You know, you're distracting us."
"I'm not doing anything." Beeper defended himself.
"That's the point, just you being there is bugging us. Isn't that right Furball?" Calamity asked
"Mnn...No. Not really." Furball replied as he moved a bishop into place, "Check."
"Well it's bugging me." Calamity stated as he moved his King out of the bishop's attack range.
Beeper gave a shrug, "Well, if I'm just bugging you...did you guys check out that new story? The one with Elmyra and Max?"
Calamity gave a bit of a sigh of frustration, but answered anyway, "Not really, I never found seeing how fanfics for them work out."
"Honestly, I avoid 'em." Furball stated, "Just brings back memories of being trapped in one of Elmyra's cages."
"I hear that." Calamity said as he moved his rook into position.
"It isn't too bad, and it's fast, so it doesn't consume too much of your time." Beeper said
"Well...I'll check it out later, when I have the time." Calamity stated, "What's it called?"
"It's called 'Snugglebunny', by Sara Jaye."
"Sure doesn't sound that interesting." Calamity simply put
Beeper just gave a shrug as Furball made a move, then said, "Just give it a read if you have the time at least."
"Hey, Beeper, just curious, you still got that female voice?" Furball asked
"Yeah, of course." Beeper replied, his voice now female
"Why did you have to remind him...her?" Calamity asked Furball, a bit pissed off how voice depicts gender, and it's rather confusing.
"Are you the only character here with a transgender voice?" Furball asked
"No, of course not." Beeper replied shaking his head, "Buster, Babs, Dodo, and I think Plucky has transgender voices as well."
"Babs I'll believe. Definitly Dodo. Buster, maybe, I guess." Calamity said, "But, Plucky?"
"Calamity has a point. I think Plucky's just doing falseto, or...inhaling helium or something." Furball agreed as Calamity made a move.
"Checkmate, Furball." Calamity said with a smile, while Furball just gave a sigh
"I did say, 'I think', I may be female while using this voice, but I don't really have a woman's intuition." Beeper stated
"Anyway, I really need to come up with something to do other than devise, build, sleep, and eat around here. Got any ideas guys?" Calamity asked while he began fixing the chess board so it was it could be used by someone else later.
Furball just gave a shrug, and Beeper decided to pull out a sign saying "I have no idea."
Calamity just looked up at the sign and pulled one out of his own saying "What's with the signs, again? We can talk while we're here you know."
"Oh, that I know. I just wanted to set up so I could do this." Beeper said, using none other than Calamity's voice, then gave a smile
Calamity just gave him a serious look and said, "Okay, that's not funny Beeper."
"Wait, you can do Calamity too?" Furball asked, surprised
"Not really, it's just a borrow from the props department, from the story Pokeblue is doing on us." Beeper replied while letting his voice change to female.
"Since Beeper and I changed bodies, the prop department let us have a temporary voice for the other." Calamity explained
"Wait, you guys are just acting like the other? You guys didn't really change bodies?" Furball asked
"That's usually to the writers' personal discretion, but for his story, we did change bodies. Having the alternate voices just make it a bit easier, since voices are physical and hard to transfer." Calamity said trying to explain, "Besides it's normal in cartoons for characters to still have their voice despite having changed bodies."
"Ah, I see. Cool."
"Anyway, I seriously did have an idea for what you can do." Beeper stated to Calamity, "How about a good run, it's been a good while since we both got a chance to stretch our legs."
"I don't know. I think you're the one that's gonna enjoy it, since I'm doing the chasing, not the running." Calamity stated while looking at Beeper
"Alright, how about I agree to just a simple run after I've had my fun for a bit. I'll even give ya a reason to try catching me." Beeper stated (his voice is female still)
"Alright, other than possibly dinner, what else?" Calamity asked, before Beeper planted a lip locking kiss on him, resulting in Calamity wiping his mouth and spitting.
Beeper just laughed before saying, "Meep Meep." and ran off, followed by Calamity, who was angry from the sudden move.
Furball just laughed at the reaction Calamity had. "I'm definitly gonna have more fun with both of 'em around." he stated
"Who?" Sweetie asked as she landed on the back rest of Calamity's chair.
"Calamity and Beeper, if anything, Beeper knows exactly how to push Calamity." he replied
"Why? What did he do this time?"
"He just gave Calamity a kiss." Furball stated before laughing again.
"Ew...gross." Sweetie exclaimed as she stuck her tongue out
"Chill, Beeper was using that female voice." Furball stated as he stood up, "Well, I'm off to get me some food."
"Wait, if you're hungry why not me. Not that I'm complaining of course, I get to try some classic gags if you do."
"That's the thing, the gags. I already lost to Calamity, and it made me lose my appetite for a hard-to-get meal, I'm going to get a snack I can actually catch."
Sweetie just scoffed
"Besides, I don't feel like doing that Tom and Jerry, three-animal chase gag." he stated with a shrug.
"Excuse me...?"
Furball just pointed at bookworm, then left. Sweetie tried to understand what he meant, till she remembered what does happen in some Tom and Jerry cartoons. "I doubt bookworm would even join." she shouted
After an hour, Furball returned with Plucky, who was just returning and was very much hoping for a time to rest and lie down on a seat. Hamton was the first to see the two.
"Hey g-guys." Hamton greeted
"Heya, Hamton." Plucky greeted, "Where's Fifi?"
"She went to the OC's lounge to talk to C-Corah."
"Corah..? You mean that character from Stuart Johnson's story, 'The Reject'?" Plucky asked, "I thought he fell under our room's juristiction." he added as he plopped himself down on the couch.
"He d-d-does, but since he wasn't 'official' character from the show they gave him the key for the OC room."
"But I saw him come in here once." Furball stated
"Huh?"
"Yeah, I was talking to him a few weeks ago and he had a key card to come in here too." Furball explained.
Hamton and Plucky just looked at each other in confusion, then Plucky looked back up at Furball, "Does he have two keys?"
"I wouldn't know, but he sure is mostly in the OC room."
"Wouldn't blame him. It's very nice there." Gogo rang in as he walked over to them with a grin.
"You mean you've been in there, Gogo?" Plucky asked, "How?"
"You're talking to the one toon amoung us that can fit under a dime." Furball stated
Gogo simply nodded, "Quite colorful, and also a bit larger in size as well."
"With so many OCs these days, I'm not surprised." Plucky stated, "Oh, well. Where's BB and BB?"
"You mean B-Buster and Babs?" Hamton asked, "There still sleeping."
"Still? They must've had fun." Plucky stated with a smirk.
"Come on, you can't be suggesting that?" Furball stated, "They were quiet the entire time they were there."
"But they're in there."
"Yeah, they were in there...all day...together..." Furball stated before he kinda started trailing off.
The four male toons looked at each other before Plucky stated, "I'll bet $20, that they are."
Furball was still lightly skeptical, but had to admit, the odds were stacked against him this time around. "Make it ten."
"Ha! You're scared you'd lose if you take the bet."
"No,...but I can't afford to lose 20, otherwise I won't be able to buy dinner for until our next paycheck."
"Fine, 10, will you agree to that?"
"Sure."
"Speaking of which, Furball, t-t-that's only $10, our next paycheck is in five days, t-that's two dollars a day..." Hamton stated
"Yeah, I know, it's probably not much, but when you're in my shoes and know what I know, you can make 10 bucks last for a little over a week."
"Remind me, if whenever I get the urge to go hiking, I invite you." Plucky rang out
"It's not that easy, you'd get use to eating that much less than usual for it to work, trust me." Furball stated with a light grin.
"Well, looky here, if it isn't the other half of the economic distribution." they heard a voice state, though some of them recognized it almost instantly
"Oh, get lost, Roderick, we don't need you bothering us now." Plucky stated as he looked at him
"I'm sorry, but your gonna have to put more feeling into that, if you really want me to leave."
"Alright." Plucky stated as he sat straight up, "Roderick, get the hell out. Cast member or not, you're more irratating than Max and Elmyra combined. You always act like some stuck up asshole, %$&$% child. I mean at least Rhubella puts her tricks and traps on her tab, all you do is talk #$&%."
The others kinda looked at Plucky a bit surprised.
"I didn't know your language was actually that... colorful, Plucky." Furball admitted.
"Yeah, that's almost something I'd expect out of Fowlmouth." Sweetie added
"Whatever, so what? You actually want me to be nice for a change?" Roderick asked
"It'd be nice." Plucky stated, "I mean your problems are with Buster and Babs, not us."
"Fine. So how is your afternoon?" he asked trying to start a chat.
"Good, we just have a bet going on."
"Really? On what?"
"If B-Buster and B-Babs got...um..." Hamton tried replying as Roderick gave a slightly raised brow
"You mean sex?" he asked as the others nodded, "You know that's expected granted how long they've been together. Where are they?"
"They're in the spare room." Plucky replied, "I'm in a running bet with Furball that they did."
"I'm saying they didn't." Furball rang in.
"Hm...well, put some money that they are as well." Roderick stated as he put some money in front of the two.
"The pot grows. Anyone else want to join in the fun?" Plucky stated
"Uh...I suppose so it's even." Sweetie stated as she landed on Furball's head, and pulled out a ten and threw it infront of them, "I'll bet with Furball."
"Wow, you're agreeing with me? That's a first." Furball commented
"Yeah...just one of those moments." she said with a shrug, "Just don't try eating me."
"Speaking of w-which, where's Rhubella?" Hamton asked
"That's a good question." Plucky commented as he looked at the rat, "This is actually the first time I've seen you walk in without her behind you."
"Why is that so important?" Roderick asked as he stretched and sat down in a chair, "It's not like we're around each other 24/7."
"I'm just wondering." Hamton stated
"Well, last time I recall seeing her was just a few moments ago. She was making a complaint of why her sandwich was made incorrectly."
"Hm, should've guessed." Plucky stated, "No offense, but you guys from Prefecto Prep are just too uptight."
"I didn't say I complained, it's just her. I may be picky on the quality of the food I eat, but a freshly made sandwich isn't something I'd bother much about as long as it's the right sandwich."
"You two still seeing each other?"
"You mean me and Rhubella?" he asked as he scratched his head, "Yeah..., it's just a little rocky at the moment."
"Is it because of the other stories that are pairing her with other guys?" Furball asked
"Not entirely, but I think it's playing a part. Not really the context of it, but the fact she's been getting a lot of it."
"Yeah, I think I can sympathize, my call-rate is pretty low." Sweetie stated
"A lot of us minor characters have that dangum problem." Fowlmouth voiced in as he joined the group.
"At least you guys show up." Plucky stated, "I mean has anyone seen Barky Marky in anything?"
"Wait, who's that again?" Sweetie asked
"B-Barky is the dog that loves playing fetch." Hamton replied
"Oh, yeah. I haven't really seen him lately."
"The guy is just really obscure. I don't think he did more than one mini-episode." Furball stated
"Let me change the subject real quick for a moment, before I forget." Roderick rang in, "On the subject of that orange roadrunner, did he eat a helium tank or something? I saw him and the coyote run by on my way here, and I could've sworn I heard a girl laughing."
"Yeah, that's Beeper alright." Furball stated, "Since a story was written in which he was portrayed as a girl, he had a female voice to go along with his male voice."
"And he tends to switch between the two just to keep things interesting around here." Sweetie added
"Hm...how are you certain it's a guy with a secondary female voice, rather than a girl with a secondary male voice?" Roderick asked
"That's up to the writer." Plucky simply stated
"Yeah, the dangum author has power over that." Fowlmouth agreed, "I just agree with Beeper being a guy, since he didn't rub off as a girl to me during the show."
"I dunno, with he and Calamity always grouped together, it would be a little cuter to say Beeper was a girl." Sweetie voiced in.
"I'm staying neutral on this." Plucky stated, "I may be a bird like Fowlmouth, but since Beeper only had a few seconds of screen time, otherwise he's clocking around 150 miles or more per hour, I'm not gonna take sides on this."
"Didn't you just use a gender-specific pronoun?" Fowlmouth asked
"It's just a normal default response."
"So when is the bunnies gonna come out? I can't really stay here all day." Roderick stated
"Who knows." Furball replied
"Hey, why don't you stick your head in and find out Roderick." Plucky stated with a chuckle, "If a boot hits ya, we'll know."
"Ha ha, very funny. No thanks."
