Season 2 – Episode 2
Air Hummingbird – Part 2
The holidays were filled with fun and absolutely perfect for making the Adventures In Sunnybrook Park holiday special. Before Poppy and the 'Toon Loon' crew knew it, they were back to school getting their book learn on.
CLANG!
Pluie slammed her locker and looked towards Yosh, Poppy, and Winry.
"I still can't believe they let you be a cheerleader for the volleyball team," she stated as her blue eyes briefly turned a shade of emerald green. "Oh, well. Asher, Meezoo, and I will have fun skating on the pond as you jump around like a daffy duckling."
"To be fair," added Winry as she swapped her school backpack for her sports bag. "My brother is the only cheerleader they have for the Toon Loon Girls Volleyball Team."
"I am?" gulped the dino-duckling as he swapped his school supplies with his cheerleading equipment.
"Hey!" proclaimed Poppy while gesturing for her pet duck, Puddles, to waddle his way into the locker-lined hallway. "I think it is sweet that Yosh got offered to cheer me on as I go from the sidelines and into the game."
SIZZLE
Pluie scowled towards her ruby-throated hummingbird friend as a small puff of smoke blasted out from the nose of her beak.
"Are you alright, Pluie?" Asher asked upon seeing his duck friend do what he, being a dragon, was more known for doing. "Did today's lunch make you gassy?"
THWUMP!
"Harumph!" the pink raincoat wearing, white duck retorted as she stomped her galoshes upon the ground, folded her arms, and turned her face away from everyone. "Come on, Asher. Meezoo is already waiting for us at the pond where we will certainly have more fun than we ever would watching Yosh shake his blue balls around."
CLANG!]/
Yosh's beak dropped open and crashed upon the ground as he bashfully tried to hide the shimmering, sapphire-blue pom-poms he had been just shaking around.
CLASP
CA-CLICK CA-CLICK CA-CLICK
SQUACK!
Winry took hold of her brother's short, stubby tail and jostled it up and down until his beak returned to its original position and shut with him letting out a feral quack.
"It's okay, big brother," the more duck than dinosaur said as she patted him on his very obvious, blue-colored shorts covered, diaper butt. "I bet you'll make lots of new friends as our school's first ever cheerleader for the Girls Volleyball Team."
Pluie gave no eye contact as Winry helped lead Yosh towards the locker rooms to prepare for their first after school practice.
SNATCH!
YOINK!
"Huh?" wondered Poppy as she was grabbed by the beak and pulled down so she could be eye-to-eye with Pluie.
"Don't get any ideas," the jealous duck stated as her eyes, again, flashed a shade of emerald-green.
Poppy smiled as the red markings on her cheeks turned a slight shade of pink.
"You bet, Pluie," she said after removing her long beak from the white-feathered duck's hand. "Your secret crush on Yosh is safe with me."
FWEE!
Smoke vented from Pluie's ears as she balled her hands into fists.
"Come on, Asher!" she growled. "I'm more than done with this scene."
Asher looked to Poppy and Puddles, then towards Pluie as she stomped away, and then towards those who were watching what was going on through their television sets at home.
"I don't get it," he said with a shrug towards the audience before he followed after Pluie.

CA-CLICK
SCHWICK-SKREE
"This is so exciting!" cheered Poppy as she opened the locker that had been assigned to her by their coach. "I wonder what it is going to be like being cheered for instead of being the one doing all of the cheering?"
RUSTLE-RUSTLE
FWUP
Winry pulled her uniform shorts over her owl-printed training pants and smiled.
"Playing a sport is just like cheerleading," she assured. "Once you learn the 'routine' for how the game is played, you give it your all and bash that ball straight into the face of anyone who tries to stop you from scoring a point by hammering it down over the other side of the net!"
Winry's 'enthusiasm' for the game of volleyball caught Poppy off guard. However, despite the chill in the air within the concrete floor of the basement-level locker rooms, the happy hummingbird felt all warm and toasty about putting her boundless energy to work at her first team sport that was not just cheerleading from the sidelines.
"No way!" squawked a familiar voice. "Since when are they letting benchwarmers play with the pros?"
Winry and Poppy both were very unsurprised to see their nemesis, Peggy Pidgeotto, with her wings at her sides as two of her cronies stood in full uniform at each of her sides.
"Well," retorted Winry as she faced down the leader of 'The Pampless Prodigies'. "If it isn't Flynn Hoot's number two."
SNICKER-SNICKER
SLAP!
Peggy's pals found humor in Winry's statement that was not to the approval of the power-driven pigeon. So, as a good villain often does, she knocked her sidekicks off their feet and onto the ground with a mighty flap of her wings.
"That wasn't funny!" she roared. "The only number two here is you, O'Ducky!"
SLURP
"Gah!" croaked Peggy as Winry launched out her frog-like tongue and whipped it up over the prissy pigeon's face. "That's gross!"
"What's gross is your taste in lip balm," stated Winry before making a yucky face.
TAP-TAP-TAP!
"Okay, ladies!" called the coach from somewhere off-screen. "Everyone who plans to be a part of this team best be dressed in their uniforms and out in the gym within the next three minutes if they don't want to just sit and warm the bench all season!"
"That's my queue," Peggy stated proudly as her cronies returned to her sides. "I'll see you on the court, O'Ducky. Oh, and as for you 'Poopy', you best change that wet diaper your showing off before you wind up sitting in it on the bench like the loser you are."
"I'm wet...?" gasped Poppy as she used her wing to verify what the bully had just made obvious to everyone in the locker room. "And I forgot to bring a change with me, too."
Winry shrugged as she looked into her gym bag for one of her spare pairs of training pants.
"Perhaps a pair of my trainers will work for you?" she considered while starting to pull out one of her extra pairs of owl-print pull-ups.
CHING!
CLANG-SLAM!
"QUACK!" cried Puddles as he emerged from another locker in the room.
CLIP-CLOP
FWOOF!
Upon touching down on the concrete floor in his trademark boots, Puddles used his own cartoon comic powers to reach behind his back and whip out a clean diaper for his best friend to use.
"Puddles!" cheered Poppy as she started to slip herself out of the soaked diaper that had swollen itself around her hips. "You're a life saver!"
Winry smiled as she put her spare pair of training pants back into her gym bag.
"What luck that you have such a great duck at your side!" she stated. "Since we got to keep this clean, I'll head out to the gym while you and Puddles finish getting ready for today's practice."
Puddles winked to Poppy as he used even more cartoon physics to put down a plush, changing pad upon the floor that Poppy laid herself down upon.
"We'll see you after the commercial break!" waved Poppy as Puddles undid the sticky tabs that were showing signs of strain from holding up Poppy's piddled pamps.
NOTE:
This was a story inspired from a series of cartoon-themed tales that I told based on characters by Padded Artist, Meezoo / Toothpick, my own characters, and those lovable animated programs from the 1990s. Most notably Tiny Toon Adventures.
