OH MY GAWD!!!OH MY GAWD!!!!OH MY GAWD!!!!
Lexis on a Date show with out knowing it!!
This is going to be great!

I wonder what Ace will do to the guy Lexi get stuck with? *thinks* Tehehe. I think I'm a little TO much of an Acexi.

This is one wierd fic... but I like it! Very imaginative that aliens have a dating show whose guests are captured beings from other planets. It could be a kind of humiliation program....

ACE PLANNED THE WHOLE THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least, that's my theory. Anyhoo.......
Another chapter please! This is sounding really crazy!

Chapter 4

Lexi stared at herself in the mirror in concern. Wearing a pink skimpy bikini while wearing a dark, pink, flowery almost transparent beach cloth tied around her waist didn't really make her feel at ease either. All she was hoping for was to be reunited with her male companions so that they could go home. She didn't know what was going to happen, but she knew that she had to choose one in order to end the show quickly and get out of there as soon as possible. But the thing that was playing on her mind was who she would choose out of them all. 

Rev is always optimistic about things and stays cheerful through any situation. But Slam is a caring person, even if he looks as though he could crush you with his bare hands, he wouldn't hurt anyone unless they deserved it. Tech is very intelligent she can give him that, and he can give some very good advice to someone who has a problem. Duck may not be the best person to talk to, but at least he can understand people in upsetting situations as he's been through a lot himself, plus he can pick himself up if he fails the first time. And then there's Ace. He does seem like the obvious choice. The answers he gave to her in the 'getting to know you round' and the way he treated her in the 'rescue round' certainly made her feel something for him. But how will everyone react when she has made her choice? Would it be the right one? Would anyone be hurt by this?

These thoughts ran through her mind until they were interrupted by an alien walking through the entrance.

"Come on Lexi!" It squeeled in excitement. "You have to get ready for the big moment!"

Lexi sighed as she reluctantly followed the alien towards the studio, where the scenery changed into a huge Hawian pool scene with a giant swimming pool at the back. She was urged to stand in position next to the presenter. She saw the purple blind beside the two, covering up the potential male partners. The count down started from the director and the cheesey music played on until it stopped.

"Hello! And welcome back to Blank Date!" Onino presented. "After two rounds, Lexi here has had the oppitunity to think about who she would want to go on a date with. But now she has to choose her partner as we go into the final round!"

The music played again as the audience clapped until every turned into a gradual silence.

"Now this is the first oppitunity for Lexi to see all of the lucky males." Onino explained. "We will then let Lexi have a look at them. But as you know, the ones that she doesn't like will be pushed into the swimming pool. She will do this until only one is left standing and that will be her date!"

The creature turned to Lexi.

"Are you ready to see your potential dates?"

Lexi rubbed her hands on her wrists nervously.

"Yeah." She sighed.

"Okay then," The host winked at the camera. "Remove the blind!"

The blind slided across to reveal the men in swimming shorts. Lexi gasped in panic. None of the other Loonatics were standing there! The were replaced by foreign creatures that she did not know! She immediately turned to the presenter.

"Where are my friends!?" Lexi inquired.

"What are you talking about?" Onino gave a confused expression.

"What have you done to my friends!?" Lexi shot again.

"Please. Calm down." The alien stuttered as he backed away slowly.

"I won't calm down until you tell me where my friends are!" Lexi threatened as she stamped closer towards the presenter. "Where are they!?"

"Just choose your date! Please!" The alien squeaked.

"Call security!" Another alien shouted.

A gang of small aliens ran from the back and started to grab onto Lexi. She threw her arms about as the aliens flew from her.

"I don't want to choose a date with people I don't know! Tell me where they are now!" She screamed as she grabbed onto the collar on her neck and started to try and tear it off her neck.

More aliens tried to pile on top of her. Lexi gave a final scream as she tore off the collar from her neck and threw all the aliens of her. She immediately ran towards the exit and pushed the doors out of her way.

"Security!" An alien shouted as Lexi disappeared through the door. "We need back up now!"

By now, Lexi was running across the hallway. She felt like a fugitive on the run. But all she wanted to do was to find her friends and get herself out of the place as soon as possible. She continued running, turning on random corners.

"Ace! Duck! Tech! Rev! Slam!" She cried. "Where are you!?"

"There she is!"

Lexi turned around to find two taller figures standing in front of her. But her expression of fear turned into relief as she ran into them with open arms.

"Ace! Slam! I'm so glad to see you!" she cried into Ace's chest, expecting him to hug her back.

But instead of a warm hug, Ace coldly grabbed one of her wrists.

"I'm sorry young lady, but we have to take you back to the studio you came from." He said in a monotone voice.

"What!?" Lexi couldn't believe what he was saying.

"We have been commanded to return you to the studio which you escaped from." Slam said in the same tone as Ace's as he grabbed her other unoccupied arm.

Lexi couldn't understand this. Why are they trying to return her to the place she didn't want to be in in the first place? She started to kick her legs furiously as she tried to struggle out of their strong grip.

"Ace! Slam! Put me down! It's me! Lexi!" She screamed.

They ignored her pleas as they carried on dragging her.

"Let me go! Please!" She begged as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Suddenly someone grabbed her by the waist. Before she could see who grabbed her, she disappeared, leaving Ace and Slam confused about the prisoner's disappearance and immediately started to search everywhere.
____________________________________________________

Lexi reappeared in a blue room with sinks and urinals against the walls. Even if she knew being in the men's toilets felt so strange to a woman, at least she wasn't being carried away back to the studio by her friends. She then heard a voice from behind her.

"Finally. We found you."

Lexi spun around to find Rev, Tech and Duck standing in front of her. For the second time, she embraced them and cried into them.

"Ace and Slam!" She cried . "They were trying to take me back to that studio! They didn't even know who I was!"

"We know." Tech nodded.

"We were trying to escape from them too." Rev gushed out. "We tried to find a way out of the room before starting the next round of Blank Date and of course we managed to do that. But then Ace and Slam came for us and tried to take us back to the other studios. But of course we refused so they attacked us. We managed to get away from them of course and we decided to hide in here to get us some time."

"And trust me, I didn't want to sit next to an eight armed zebra cross crocodile hybrid." Duck frowned. "Especially when it smelt of a bad smell convention that died and decayed ever since."

"But why were they attacking you in the first place?" Lexi asked.

"Ace and Slam seem to be placed under hypnosis to be some form of body guards for the aliens so that the show would carry on." Tech explained. "I'm not sure what the cause is for them to act like this. But I think it might have something to do with those collars they were wearing."

"I should know." Rev shuddered. "After I said the reply about the boat, they put me under that mind control thing too. It was so scary."

"Fortunately, I figured out a way to snap Rev out of his hypnotised state." Tech said. "With this."

Tech showed the others a remote control with a red button on it.

"What is it?" Lexi asked curiously.

"It's an infra-red hypno dissabliser." Tech proclaimed. "It's able to disable hypnotic commands from a piece of technology that is giving them commands. Such as those collars around Ace's and Slam's neck."

"So if this managed to snap Rev out of it, then it will work on Ace and Slam too?" Duck asked.

Suddenly, the door blasted across the room and smashed against the wall. The other's heads spun around to face Ace and Slam entering the room. All of them gasped.

"Well there's only one way of finding out." Tech gulped.

END OF CHAPTER 4.  

Chapter 5

"You have disobeyed the code of the Neila." Ace pointed his accussing finger at the other Loonatics. "You must return to the studio immediately to finish the production."

"Come on Ace! Snap out of it!" Lexi begged. "It us! Rev, Tech, Duck and Me! Lexi! You have to remember too Slam!"

"We give the orders around here!" Slam bellowed. "You can either come quietly or we'll have to use some extreme force."

"Extreme force it is!" Duck declared as he summoned two orange, glowing orbs in his hands and threw them at their opponents.

Ace and Slam dived in different directions as the orbs splated against the wall. Ace rolled forward and whipped out his sword and jumped into the air to try and get a hit on Lexi. Lexi spun around to see Ace hovering above her. She was about to dodge it when Rev picked her up and carried her a little way so Ace hit his sword onto the floor. Once Rev put her down, Lexi tried to reason with the male rabbit.

"Please Ace! You're being controlled by those things!" She cried as she ducked under a swiping movement from the sword.

Meanwhile, Duck and Tech was trying to deal with Slam's immense strength, dodging blows from Slam's giant fists.

"We will take all of you back!" He roared. "Conscious or not!"

He slammed his fists against where Tech and Duck were previously before they anticipated the punches. Tech clicked his tongue in frustration.

"Dammit!" He shot under his breath. "I can't get to his neck!"

The coyote then had an idea and called Duck.

"Duck! Catch the infra-red hypno disabler and teleport onto Slam and put it against the red plug on the collar!"

"Okay!" Duck understood. "I'll catch it as soon as I can get away from muscle boy there!"

Duck teleported from another blow and appeared on top of Slam's back.

"Get off me!" Slam bellowed as he tried to throw him off.

"Duck! Catch!" Tech shouted as he threw the remote control towards the two Loonatics.

Duck caught it with his out stretched arm and plugged the remote control into the holes on the collar. The lock split in two as the collar fluttered down onto the floor. Slam the suddenly stopped his actions of fury and gave a confused expression.

"W- What's going on?" The Tasmanian devil asked Duck who stood next to him.

"We'll explain later." Duck answered. "Right now, we better go help Lexi and Rev."

Ace swung his sword around as Rev and Lexi tried to dodge the swings as they saw Slam, Duck and Tech running towards them.

"Okay guys stand back and let me deal with this!" Duck shouted as he dissappeared from his previous spot and landed on top Ace's back as he did Slam's.

But Ace grabbed Duck's arm and threw him across the room. As Duck hit the wall, the remote smashed into pieces in his hands.

"Now how are we gonna get Ace back!?" Rev squeeled.

Lexi glared at Ace in fear. She remembered the responses that she thought about in the other rounds. They were so genuine and almost believable that he could have said that. But was it him who said those things? Either way, Ace still needed to be rescued. She ran in front of the others towards the rabbit.

"Lexi! Wait!" The others cried.

But she ignored the command as she stretched out her hand towards him.

"Ace! Please! You've got to snap out of it!"

But he ignored her pleas and extended his arm out which looked as though it was ready to send Lexi flying against the wall. Before his fist made contact with her face, Lexi grabbed the collar on his neck with her out stretched hand. Ace fist hit her cheek as she still held onto the collar. The impact caused the black strap to rip in half from his neck. As Lexi was thrown away across the room, Ace's expression changed from anger to a confused look like Slam did. He then gasped as he saw her flying across the room. Fortunately, Slam stood in the way of the wall and caught Lexi just before she hit it. Ace ran towards Lexi in Slam's arms.

"Lexi!" He cried. "Are you okay?"

The female rabbit stood to her feet. Her head felt concussed because of his punch so she wobbled on the spot. She almost toppled forward until Ace caught her just in time. Ace held Lexi up in her standing position and gave her an apologetic expression.

"I am so sorry." Ace stammered.

Lexi tilted her head up to gaze at Ace's face. She saw that tears were about to well up in his eyes. She then gave a smile as her eyes started to fill up with pools of tears.

"I know you are Ace." She whispered softly as she buried her head into his chest.

Ace wrapped his arms around her as she cried quietly into his chest.

"I didn't know what was going on until now." He spoke.

"Don't worry Ace. You and Slam couldn't help it." Rev reassured.

"Well the last thing that I remember is that me and Slam woke up in some room where those aliens tried to put the collars on us." The rabbit started. "Both of us did our best to fight back. But they managed to collar us both."

"And those collars were what was controlling you." Tech finished. "They disabled our use of our powers so we couldn't fight back against them."

"But why do you think they wanted to use us for some dumb game show?" Duck asked out loud.

"I don't know." Ace answered. "But I guess we're gonna find out the answers from those aliens."

"And I have the perfect plan to get them to do that." Tech winked to his comrades.

END OF CHAPTER 5.

PUT THE NEXT CHAPTER UP! PUT THE NEXT CHAPTER UP!

Chapter 6

"Those new security guards better find our contestants." The purple and green director grumbled as a orange and yellow spotted alien approached him with a giant golden pretzel on a small white plate and a polystyrine cup with a drink inside.

The director hastily snatched the cup and the pretzel from the alien as he took a sip from the cup. He then sprayed the liquid into the alien's face in disgust.

"This ocfee is too cold!" He bellowed at the cowering creature.

He chomped into the pretzel until he heard footsteps stop behind him.

"Sir. We have found your contestants."

The director spun around to see a tall rabbit in yellow and black uniform and a Tasmanian devil in purple and black uniform, carrying some groaning anthros.

"Well at least they're here." The director sighed. "But I'd wish you'd have kept them conscious!"

"They have put up such great resistance against us that we had no choice but to use extreme force with them." The Tasmanian devil spoke in a monotone voice.

"Alright." The director put his fingers from one hand on his forehead. "Just get them into the dressing room and put the mind-control collars on them. We can't waste any more time."

Just as they were about to follow the command, the four anthros began to moan in pain.

"Ugh. Where are we?" they moaned as the male rabbit and Tasmanian devil let them slip from their grip.

"Nevermind." The director shook his head. "Just get them to ready positions."

The two anthros grabbed the other anthros as they lead them across the studio and stood them in their positions along with two other strange creatures. The director plumped himself on his reserved chair as everybody rushed to their places.

"Okay." The director declared. "Lights, camera, action!"

"You heard the director Slam." The rabbit whispered to the Tasmanian devil.

He then nodded to the rest of the anthros across the studio.

"Action!"

The two leapt out of their places as well as the other anthros and stood in their fighting stances at the centre of the studio. The aliens panicked and ran around the studio. The director stood from his chair and gritted his teeth angrily.

"Okay folks! The jig is up!" Ace proclaimed. "Show us who is responsible for all this and no-one will get hurt!"

The director stomped up to the group of anthros.

"Just what do you think you are doing!?" He shouted in rage. "How dare you forget who you are!?"

The rabbit picked the alien up by the scruff of his shirt and lifted him to his eye level.

"I am Ace Bunny. And I am not your security guard" He growled at him.

He then looked at the giant pool at the back of the studio and looked straight back at the creature he was holding.

"You know? I've been thinking whether you can swim or not." He gave a cheeky grin.

"Maybe we should try it out." Duck agreed.

"Oh please!" The director begged with his hand slapped together as though he is praying to someone. "Don't throw me in there!"

"Then who is behind all this?" Ace inquired.

"If you put me down, I will show you!" The director mumbled. "Just don't throw me into the water!"

Ace gently put the quivering alien onto the ground and looked down on him.

"Alright then." The rabbit agreed. "Show us to them."
______________________________________________

After wandering the corridors for a few minutes, they finally approached a set of silver doors.

"Through there is the guy who is helping us getting the show popular again." The director said.

"So the show isn't popular then?" Tech frowned.

"It was." The director explained. "The show was watched by millions of creatures each week. But after a few years into the show, many species around the galaxy started to lose interest in the show. Just when we hit rock bottom, this guy came along and helped us out by giving his ideas for the show. And now it's a great hit. It's popular again thanks to him."

"Hmm... maybe we can see why he got you guys to fetch us from out of space." Ace murmured as he pushed the doors as the anthros entered through.

The Loonatics entered an extravagant room with red carpet and lilac painted walls. Some tropical fish swam in a clear, blue fish tank at one side of the room and a rubber plant took up another corner. Ace and the others saw a wooden, brown, varnished desk in front of a burgandy leather chair with the back of it facing it's visitors.

"Excuse me, but we need to talk." Ace asked in a stern tone.

"There's nothing to talk about." A voice sitting in the chair.

"It about the show." Lexi then interrupted.

"What about it?" The voice asked.

"It's the way you randomly steal contestants who haven't even planned to give permission to be on a lame dating show just because it's percentage of viewers have gone down!" Duck snapped.

"Well then." The voice said casually. "Lets talk."

At that moment the chair swirled around to reveal a handsome black haired young man with white streaks painted against the black background of his hair. He wore a purple suit with his hands covered with white cloves.

"Hey. You look familiar." Lexi frowned trying to work out who he is.

"Oh I'm sure I don't young lady." The man gave an evil smile across his face. "I am Pierce Le Pew."

That aside, OMFG!!! TECHIE PLAN!!! (random phrase I made up for the occaision). There must be back up for Pierre for the Loonatics to fight. AARRGGHH!!! *cursers suspense*

---

Um... if you've read the chapter, he said his name was Pierce Le Pew. Not Pierre. I'll explain the relation later in a chapter. But we'll see why Pierce wants to attack the Loonatics as soon as I get the next chapter up.

Chapter 7

The Loonatics gave expressions of shock.

"Are you Pierre Le Pew's brother or something!?" Duck shreiked.

"Unfortunately I am." Pierce snorted. "You know of him being the owner of the Max Arena?"

"Know him!?" Rev exclaimed. "We fought against him!"

"What a fool." Pierce shook his head. "I knew he'd lose to guys like you. He's such a big head at times."

"Okay. We know you're related to skunk boy." Ace changed the subject. "How did you get here?"

"Well was merely taken away just like you." The man started explaining. "But thanks to my charismatic charm of speech, I convinced them to let me be the boss of this show."

"What did you say to them?" Ace interrogated him.

"I just said that I can help them make the ratings increase thousands maybe millions of times more than they had before." Pierce continued. "Their show wasn't getting an audience and I wanted to be the boss. I wanted to convince my brother Pierre just how much better I am than him."

"So there's some sibling rivalry going on?" Slam asked.

"You people are very good at detective work are you?" The man smirked.

"And what happens to the contestants who don't get picked with a partner?" Lexi inquired.

"Why, they are kept here until they do find the one they love." Pierce answered.

"So no one gets out of here until they are forced with someone?" Lexi frowned.

"That's the idea." Pierce nodded. "Not even you can get out of this paridise."

"More like a prison!" Duck yelled.

"We're gonna have to ask you to free the contestants from this ship." Ace ordered.

"But what will the poor creatures say when you've put them out of business?" The man cooed. "They're not gonna be very happy about the fact that you are going to take their lively hood away."

"But not even these guys would work over time just to get the show done!?" Ace gave Pierce a look of disgust.

"As my brother says; Au contraire." Pierce immitated as he pressed a red button on his desk.

As if on cue, a horde of small aliens dressed in black burst through the door and tried to grab each Loonatic by the arms. But their size meant the anthros could simply brush them off. Pierce growled through gritted teeth but then put on a transparent, turquoise face mask around his mouth and nose area. He grabbed a purple umbrella and opened it out. Blue gas sprayed and spread around the room. The Loonatics soon coughed as the gas swirled around them.

"This gas..." Tech choked. "It's gonna put us to-"

But he wobbled and collapsed onto the floor. The others tried to put up a resistance against the sleeping gas but everyone but a woozy Lexi was unconscious. Just as she was about to start crawling slowly, Pierce approached her and lifted her head up to his by pulling onto her chin.

"My you are a beautiful little thing are you?" He gave an evil smile. "No wonder Pierre liked you so much. But I'm afraid you will have to make your decision on who you want to be with. Because as the proverb says, the show must go on."

Lexi did her best to keep her eye lids up. But the gas manipulated her eyes to be heavy as she lost focus on Pierce's face and faded into pitch darkness.

END OF CHAPTER 7.

Chapter 8

The sleeping gas wore off. Lexi's eyes danced as she tilted her head up. She tried to move her arms and legs. But they seemed to be pulled out wards as each of her limbs were attached to a yellow wall. She tried to pull herself out of the metal cuffs but it was no use. She then heard the music blare out as the whole audience clapped. But instead of Onino appearing, Pierce strolled onto the stage and gave a cheesy wink at the crowd. As soon as the music and the clapping stopped, Pierce started speaking.

"Hello! And welcome back to Blank Date! Before the break, Lexi was rescued by her hero in the Rescue Round. But now it's time for her to make her decision on who will be her Blank Date!"

The new presenter turned to face the rabbit and sneered at her. Lexi couldn't even bear to look at him and instead looked around to see if she could see any of the other Loonatics. But as she scanned the studio, she noticed that every alien had the mind controlling collar around their necks. She never noticed before she was on the show until now. Maybe he managed to control the creatures all this time. Her thoughts were then interrupted by Pierce standing so close to her.

"Behind this purple blind, are five males who have done everything in their cause to win Lexi's heart." Pierce started explaining. "But only one male can be chosen to be Lexi's Blank Date. The others will be rewarded though for their own performances too."

Lexi started to worry about what was behind the blind. She tried not to imagine the worst of the worst things that could happen. Pierce finally stood next to her.

"Would you like to see your selection?" he asked her. "Pull the blind!"

The blind was pulled away only to fill Lexi's eyes with horror.

Ace stood on the end of a diving board that stood about 10 metres off the ground. But nothing was underneath to break his fall. Not a pool of water or cushions.

Rev stood inside a perspex box with a thick pipe connected to one of the sides of the box. The tube was connected to a huge water generator. And she knew of course road runners can't breathe under water.

Duck's head and feet poked out of a red and black box lying across a table on wheels. Tech stood above the box with a saw in his hand with some eye sheilds covering his eyes. The purpose was so that he could try and catch a bullet by his mouth by the gun shot coming from Slam pointing a shot gun at the coyote. The thing was that there was also another shot gun pointing towards the Tasmanian devil's head. A piece of string was attached to both triggers on the guns.

Lexi was about to call her comrades names when she noticed that they too had the mind controling collars on their necks so it was pointless for her to keep begging them. She shot a glare of anger at Pierce.

"You're gonna make them kill themselves!?" She shot out in rage.

"All except one." Pierce grinned. "The choice and their lives now hang in your response. You can only save one."

"Only one!?" She squeeled in her head. "I can't do that!"

"I can't do that!" She shouted at the presenter. "They're all my friends!"

"If you can't choose one, then they all die." Pierce sneered. "You must choose one to save."

She couldn't choose. They all her friends. She couldn't possibly make such a hard choice. Slam is so caring even though he has a lot of muscle, Rev is always cheerful and optimistic, Tech is intelligent and someone that she could turn to for advice, Duck is more understanding once she got to know him and Ace is the leader and he cares for his team.

Lexi shook her head let out a scream.

"I CAN'T DO IT!"

Pierce lifted his hand up to his face and readied his fingers to click on the command.

"Then you will take responsibilty for your friend's deaths." He smirked as he snapped his fingers. The water started to fill up in the perspex tank. Tech started sawing the box in half with Duck in it. Slam waited with the gun until the box was sliced in half. Ace started jumping on the diving board.

Lexi tried to wiggle out of her shackles. She had to go and save her friends. She couldn't break out of the cuffs. Just as she thought that everyone is doomed, she heard some doors fly open. She then saw some of the other 5contestants that she saw earlier rush into the studio. As the other aliens rushed to the nearest suicide attempt, a muscular leopard anthro in blue shorts broke the cuffs on Lexi. She rubbed her wrists with her hands and looked up to the leopard man that released her.

"Um... thanks." She gazed at him.

"It's no problem when you do it for someone you love." He smiled.

Meanwhile, a lizard creature whacked both of the shot guns out from the stand and Slam's hands and tore off the black collar. A dazed expression crossed the Tasmanian devil's face as a fish creature with three eyes on it's face ripped another collar from Tech's and Duck's neck. Duck spun his head around and panicked. He then looked up to Tech.

"What the- Are you trying to kill me!?" He snarled at the confused coyote. "Get me out of here!"

Slam then noticed Rev was struggling to find air in a water filled tank. He ran straight up to it and smacked his wrist to break the perspex into pieces. The water flooded out of the tank as the road runner gasped for air. Slam snapped the collar in half as Rev still gasped.

Just as the other Loonatics started to regret their actions they heard a shout.

"I can fly!"

Everyone looked up to see Ace jumping off the end of the diving board. Everyone's mouths gaped in fear.

"Ace!" Lexi cried out.

But as soon as Rev recovered and saw Ace falling to his death, he immediately flew in the air towards him. Ace landed into Rev's arms in time as he guided the rabbit back down onto the ground. The collar was finally removed from his neck and everyone was safe onto the ground. Lexi wrapped her arms around Ace.

"Thank goodness you're alright." She sighed for relief as she squeezed him harder.

"And thank goodness you're alright too." He replied back.

"Hey! This must be the control panel for the collars." Tech called as he removed the cover from the thick purple blind.

He pressed a few buttons and soon enough, the aliens and the production team snapped out of the hypnotic trance and exchanged puzzled expressions with each other.

"Now all we need to find is Pierce." Ace declared.

As if on cue, they heard a tantrum echoing in the studio.

"Let go of me you buffons!"

Two male anthros (an elephant and a bull) dragged the kicking and screaming villain towards the group. Everyone looked down upon Pierce as he exchanged an aggressive look to the anthros.

"You'll never get away with this!" He snapped. "I will prove you wrong!"

"Well until you find a reasonable excuse for your behaviour, you're going to go to prison for a very long time." Ace gave a cheeky smirk at him.

END OF CHAPTER 8. 

Chapter 9

Pierce sulked in a prison part of the Loonatic's ship. Whilst he did that inside, outside the studio the small aliens surrounded the Loonatics with a grateful expression on their faces.

"Thank you ever so much." The director thanked them as he shook Ace's hand. "We were just trying to finish the film off but he managed to break in here and brainwash us to do some cheesy game show."

"So the show was never popular?" Tech asked.

"It was." The director continued. "But the last episode was aired two light years ago. Many audiences lost interest in it."

All of the Loonatics exchanged faces of realisation as Ace turned to the alien.

"So er... what are you guys gonna do now?" He asked them.

"We're gonna edit the video from the camera and make millions out of it!" The alien replied.

"What video?" Slam gave a puzzled face.

"The one that recorded all of the amazing action, electrifying special effects, and spectacular rescue all live!" The director squeeled in excitement. "This will be the lastest blockbuster ever to be shown to creatures all over the world! And it's all thanks to you!"

Everyone blushed at the flattery as Ace cleared his throat.

"Well we better be going." The rabbit said as all of them turned to walk towards the space ship that awaited them.

The aliens waved them goodbye and thanked them for everything as they entered. Lexi was about to be the last one to step inside the space ship when she felt someone grab her hand.

"Wait! Don't go just yet!"

She turned around to find the voice belonged to the leopard anthro who still had his blue shorts on.

"I don't want you to go just yet." He said.

Lexi gave a sincere gaze at him as he did the same.

"Lexi." He started. "When I first set eyes on you, my heart skipped a beat. I could control my emotions, but I still thought about you no matter how much I tried to say to myself that the possibility of me being with you was low, I still believed we could still be together. And when you asked where your friends were while I was standing there, it sort of made me sad to think you didn't like me at first glance. But I do realise that your friends are really important to you. And the thing is... I really do love you Lexi."

Lexi still gazed at him sincerely into his green eyes. She then rearranged her hands to hold onto his.

"I'm sorry we can't be together like this." She sighed. "But I do like you. We can still be friends right?"

The leopard looked down sadly for a moment before he rose his head to look at the female rabbit and smiled at her.

"Of course."

Both of their faces drew closer as they lips almost touched when they were both interrupted by yelling voice.

"Lexi! Are we going or what?"

Both Lexi and the leopard guy withdrew into themselves and exchanged nervous smiles and giggles. Lexi gazed at the leopard one more time before she finally turned away from him sadly. As she was about to step into the space ship when she stopped and turned to face the leopard anthro. The male figure stood as though he thought she might stay with him after all. He waited to see what the rabbit was about to say as she opened her mouth.

"By the way, I didn't get to know your name." Lexi yelled. "What is it?"

The leopard gave a dissappointed face. But at least he felt it was a souvenir for her to keep just so she wouldn't forget.

"It's Kahn." He replied.

"Kahn..." Lexi repeated as she waved goodbye to him and entered the ship.

As Kahn waved, the large door shut behind her. The engine on the ship roared as it started to hover above the ground and rose higher and higher until it zoomed off into a different direction away from the foreign planet.

"We just need to keep heading forward and we should be in Acmetropolis in an hour." Tech announced as he steered the ship.

As Ace nodded to accept that, he turned to see Lexi staring out of the window into space. He approached her and pressed his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey are you okay?" He asked.

Lexi snapped out of her day dream and turned to see the concerned leader. She gave a smile at him.

"We'll see them again won't we?" She asked him.

"Them anthros who saved us?" He checked.

"Kahn and the others." Lexi said. "We'll see them again one day."

As Ace gazed at her in wonder, he eventually smiled at the relief of them finally finding their freedom.

"By the way Lexi," Duck interrupted. "If you did have the choice to choose between us five, who would you choose?"

"Oh come on Duck!" Lexi giggled. "I like you all the same! I can't choose between you."

"But if you have to make the choice, who would you have picked?" Duck repeated. "Come on! You know you love the duck!"

"Stop it!" Lexi laughed.

"At this rate, I don't think you're on top of her list." Ace added.

"Okay, okay," Lexi gave up. "If I did have to choose someone, it would probably be someone that is good looking, has a good sense of humour, and must have a good personality."

"I have good looks!" Duck snapped. "And I am the comic relief when everyone feels down. Plus I am a very good guy."

"A good guy as in reality or in the made up fantasy that you call real life?" Ace smirked as everyone else started to laugh out loud apart from the mallard.

"You're all despicable you know that?" He grumbled.

But everyone continued laughing at Ace's statement as the ship glided through space toward Earth.

THE END.
