I don't own the Looney Tunes, although I wish I did. Any lyrics you may find, I don't own them either. But certain characters are mine, so there! Ha ha! Er-hem…

Larry and Gladys

"Hey mom," said Lola as she entered the old house

Lola Bunny entered the home of her parents, Larry and Gladys. It was a humble abode, with antique furniture and plenty of little trinkets and knick knacks. Lola wiped her feet on the rug in the foyer and entered the hallway.

"Hello there, sweetie," said Gladys welcoming here in

"How's everything?"

"Alright," she said taking Lola's coat and hanging it on the hook, "I'm so glad you could come visit."

"Yeah things have been pretty hectic…"

The two women went to the kitchen. It was a fairly large kitchen, filled with the smell of cooking spices and geranium plants. Gladys poured some coffee for her daughter and herself from the porcelain tea pot. They sat on the stools and continued to chit chat.

Lola looked around and spotted something in the hallway that got her attention.

"I remember that newspaper clipping from the old album," she taking a sip from her coffee

"Yes…" sighed Gladys as she glanced towards it, "I was going through the family album and I found that clipping. I decided that empty space in the wall could use a little something."

"Mom…this house is like a museum, I bet there's not a single bare wall in this entire house,"

"It's…possible…" she laughed to herself. She looked over at the wall once more. It was a theater review. There was a cast photo and among them was a younger looking Gladys in a lovely pink dress. She glanced for a moment and back to her coffee, "I'll never fit into that dress again…"

"Heh…"

"You know, that review was from that night…"

"Really…"

"Yes…I remember it so well…"

It was a bustling city night. People were out on the streets, enjoying the Los Angeles nightlife: the movies, the stores, the clubs, and the theatres. A young male rabbit was making his way down the boulevard. He was tall, well built, and stern. He had tan fur, with peach colored fur on his cheeks, blonde hair, and blue eyes. He was very well dressed in his black suit. He walked into the theatre where there was a presentation of 'Grease'.

He sat in his front row seat, and waited for the show to begin. The audience settled down as the lights dimmed and the overture began. The music was phenomenal, and the actors were incredible. 'Danny' and 'Sandy' dazzled the crowd with their acting, singing, and dancing abilities. The cast was doing an outstanding job of bringing the 1950's to the crowd. The audience was marveled at the spectacular show, but the rabbit remained stern. But not until a certain rabbit entered the stage did our friend lose his composure. She was a light brown rabbit, with dark eyes and had beautiful short raven hair. She played the role of Rizzo. It was proven that she had a magnificent singing voice when her song "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" came up.

"There are worse things I could do,
than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good
I suppose it could be true,
but there are worse things I could do

I could flirt with all the guys,
smile at them and bat my eyes,"

She looked at him directly and winked. His heart skipped a beat.

"Press against them when we dance,
make them think they stand a chance
Then refuse to see it through
That's a thing I'd never do

I could stay home every night
Wait around for Mr. Right,"

It was as though she were singing to him; like they were the only to people in the world.

"Take cold showers every day,
and throw my life away
on a dream that won't come true

I could hurt someone like me,
out of spite or jealousy
I don't steal and I don't lie,
but I can feel and I can cry
A fact I'll bet you never knew
But to cry in front of you,
that's the worst thing I could do…"

At the end of the scene everyone applauded, but he was the loudest of all. He gave a one-rabbit standing ovation. Those around him looked strangely.

At the end of the show, he went to call at her dressing room.

"Who is it?" asked a voice

"It's me, Larry," said the rabbit

"Come in!"

He walked in with his bouquet of flowers. She awed at the sight.

"You were just magnificent, Gladys,"

"Thank you," she said receiving the flowers and smelling their sweet aroma.

"You're too kind," she said giving him a little kiss. He blushed.

"Gladys, I have something I want to ask you," he said

"What is it?"

"I'm not too good with words," he said looking at her straight in the eyes, "so I'll be direct."

He got down on one knee and held her hand. Gladys grew wide eyed and held her breath.

"Gladys Cottontail, will you marry me?"

She gasped. She squealed in excitement and answered, "YES!"

He smiled and placed an engagement ring on her finger. When he arose, Gladys tackled him with a big kiss. Larry was the happiest rabbit alive.

"You were quite the bombshell at that time, weren't you?" joked Lola

"What do you mean 'were'?" nudged Gladys

"That's funny…"

"Hardy har…"

"I always liked that story…"

"Me too…" she said getting up to wash her mug

Lola got up from the stool and went to wash her mug as well. Gladys stepped aside to let her use the sink. It reminded her of another day…about three years later from when she and Larry were married.

In the suburban area of Los Angeles, there was a pleasant little neighborhood. On one particular block, there was a humble little house. The house was the private abode of the Bunny family. Larry Bunny emerged from the front door. He was wearing a dark blue suit, white shirt, and a gray tie. He went towards the car and went inside his SUV. As he pulled out the driveway, his wife, Gladys, waved him goodbye from the window. He waved back and drove to work.

With great difficulty, Gladys arose from the window and went toward the kitchen. There a little girl of about four years was drinking milk from a sipi-cup. She looked a lot like her mother. She had dark brown fur, dark eyes, and a tuft of raven hair between her ears. There was also a young little one-year-old boy. The boy's fur was lighter than that of his sister, but he had the same dark eyes.

"Mom I want cereal," said the girl

"In a minute, Kate," said Gladys who was busy washing some dishes.

"I want now!" she demanded

"Relax, sweetie," she patiently filled a bowl with cereal and milk. She served it to her.

"Yay!" she squealed and she began to gobble it down

Gladys then sat down in the chair between her children for some well-deserved rest. She sat back and rubbed her belly. She was expecting another little tyke.

"Mom, when's the baby coming?" asked Kate with a face full of cereal.

"Soon," replied Gladys

"I want a sister,"

"Really? Why?"

"Cause I already have a brother and all he does is cry and poop,"

Gladys chuckled a bit.

"I want a little sister, so I have someone to play dollies with!" said little Kate with a smile

"That would be nice," replied Gladys

"Please mom!"

"I don't know, Kate, we'll just see what happens,"

Then the baby started to cry. He dropped his bottle from his high chair.

"Oh, Brendan," said Gladys bending down to reach it. She got up and went to make a new one. All the while Brendan never stopped crying.

"Ahh!" cried Brendan

"Make him stop, mommy!" yelled Kate

"Everyone calm down!" demanded Gladys as she returned with a new bottle. She then gave it to Brendan, who started to drink it. Gladys sighed.

"See, that's why you should get me a sister!" said Kate folding her arms

Gladys looked at her. She couldn't help but smile at the little toddler's logic.

"I hope Larry gets here soon…" said Gladys massaging her belly.

"What?" said Lola

"Huh?" muttered Gladys coming out of her flashback

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No, I was just…remembering…"

"Ah…ok" she shrugged

Mother and Daughter went towards the living room and sat down on the large, plastic covered couch.

"There are so many things in this house…it brings back memories…" said Gladys

"Yeah…it's a nice cozy feeling…"

"Indeed….well…"

"Well?"

"Not all of them,"

"There's always going to be bad times along with the good, mom"

"Yes, sweetie, you're right," affirmed Gladys

Lola gave her a reasurring smile

"What's important…is that both build character and they make one stronger…"
