Chapter Nine : The Animator Resurfaces
BENTON HOME
The next morning, Boni and I are in the living room, sitting at the coffee table, playing Monopoly board game.
A gentle knock is on the door. I gets up and walks up to the door and opens it. Cherry is there.
"Cherry? What are you doing here?" I asked her. "I mean, it's good to see you."
"I have to tell you something." Cherry replied, walking inside the living room and glances at Boni. "Hi, Boni."
"Hey, Cherry." Boni said.
"What is it, Cherry?" I asked her.
Cherry pulls off her backpack, unfastens her backpack and pulls out a Manila envelope, handing it to me.
"What's this?" I asked confused.
"You'll see." Cherry said.
I opens the Manila envelope and pulls out a videocassette and inserts it into the VCR. And I press the "Play" button on the remote control.
On the videocassette is showing two persons, male and female. The male Roger Rabbit masked person is wearing a tieless suit and the female Jessica Rabbit masked person is wearing a red dress with a prop setting of a pub.
The Roger Rabbit masked person and the female Jessica Rabbit masked person are sitting at the round bar counter, pretending to chitchat with each other.
Suddenly, Roger Rabbit masked person pulls out a prop knife, silting Jessica Rabbit masked person's throat with a prop knife. Fake blood bleeding out of her throat silt wound and blood-staining her gray dress.
"What the hell?" Boni said, bewildered.
I fold my arms, grossed-out, proceeding to look at the videocassette.
The Jessica Rabbit masked person falls onto the floor, clutching her bleeding throat, squirming on the floor and slowly stops.
The Roger Rabbit masked person averts his attention from the girl to the camera, slowly aims the blood-stained prop knife at the video camera, slowly creepily tilting he's head to the left side.
And the videocassette statics off.
"What the hell was that?" Boni asked, even more bewildered.
"Some persons doing dark things with Looney Tunes masks and outfits." I replied to my older sister, Boni, and looks at Cherry. "Cherry?"
"The guys has the videocassette tapes as well." Cherry tells me. "I'll tell them that you'll be needing them."
"Thanks, Cherry." I said.
"You're welcome." Cherry said.
"I gotta go too." Boni said, putting on her Cobra leather jacket. "There's been some drug smugglers within the Scullies."
"Okay, and be careful." I said to Boni.
"I will." Boni reassured me with a small smile, and walks away.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
In the half empty school hallway, I'm sitting on the sofa bench with my leg crossed over my other leg.
Cherry saunters up to me and sits down beside me on the sofa bench. "I've been meaning to asks you about something, but I already know your genuine answer."
I looks at Cherry. "Okay. What is it?" I asked her.
"That "Jiolet" kiss in between Jonny and You. Was it a fake kiss?" Cherry asked.
"Yeah." I said to her. "Why do you asks?" I asked.
"You can say my curiosity urged me, Violetquinn." Cherry replied with a small smirk.
I playfully small smiles at Cherry, wanting to playfully tease her a bit. "How are Spencer and You? "Is "Spherry" still good strong?"
Cherry looks at me, knowing I'm playfully teasing her, but she rolls her eyes. "Yes, Spencer and I are good strong." She replied.
Cherry and I exchange small smiles at each other.

SMITH'S ROOT CELLAR
That afternoon, Jonny and I are sitting at the table with to-go cup of milkshakes and small to-go boxes of onion rings.
"It's been a while since you and I hangout together, Violet." Jonny said to me, chewing on a onion ring.
"Yeah. I know. And with the special agent academy." I replied and looks at Jonny. "I know you're still in love with me."
Jonny looks at me with a soften look in his eyes. "I know I shouldn't because Me and Monica are together, but somehow, I still do."
I gets up to my feet and slowly walks away from him, folding my arms. "Jonny?"
"I know what you're gonna say." Jonny said, slowly getting up to his feet. "And you're always genuine about things."
I turn around and looks at Jonny, unfolding my arms. "Why now? Why do you have conflicted feelings for me now? Is it because Aaron and Me had reconciled our relationship? A part of you should've known that you had romantic feelings for me, but instead, you just went on your way."
"I know." Jonny replied.
"I love Aaron, I do. And yes, you and I aren't together, but you lost your romantic chance to be with me, Jonny. So, I'm sorry. I love you as a best friend. So, I'm done with this conversation." I tell him.
Jonny looks at me, gloomy.
"So, you man up, suck it up and get over me, okay?" I said to him.
"Yeah." Jonny replied, and slowly sits back on the air mattress. "Okay."

TAVERN BODGE LOCAL BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE
After Pinkie had gotten a Scullies member, she had tied her up in a chair.
"I need some information." Boni said to the female Scullies member. "Who are the Scullies working with?"
"Why would I tell you? You'll just torture me with a pocket knife." The female Scullies member told Boni.
Boni gently grabs the female Scullies head, leaning her head back a little. "I'm gonna asks you again, who are the Scullies working with?"
"Eleanor Reese." I replied, upon figuring it out.
Boni and Pinkie looks at me. And I looks at them.
"The Scullies are frightened of Eleanor Reese, knowing how psychopathic she is." I said to Boni and Pinkie.
"The Scullies are Eleanor's sources and spies." Pinkie said.
"You got that right." The female Scullies member, chuckling mischievously, and gasps, upon spitting out her tongue and falls onto the floor sideways, still tied up to the chair.
"Oh my gosh." I said, grossed-out.
Boni, Pinkie and I exchange grossed-out looks at each other and becomes worried.
