By Galen Harper


synopsis:
It's time for Pursephony to go to school... But before she can do that she hat to cross the street.

We open on our two heroes Fuzzy Bunz and Pursephony getting into Fuzzy's car as they head off to school. As they near the school Fuzzy's police scanner picks up chatter about a robbery in progress. In a rush to get some action Fuzzy pull the car over, kicks Persephone out, and speeds off without saying goodbye. it's only after the fact that Pursephony realizes she's on the opposite side of the street from her school. Normally that wouldn't be a problem but today there's a substitute crossing guard and to top things off... hes blind! Pursephony looks at her watch and realizes that she has only has 15 minutes to get to school before the tardy bell rings.

Pursephony watches as other kids in the same predicament try to cross the street and one by one they all fail miserably. Meanwhile a Fuzzy arrives at the crime scene and finds Shuffles  making his getaway. He sees Fuzzy and takes off with Fuzzy in hot pursuit. Back on the corner Pursephony attempts to cross the street herself with no avail. She tries directing the crossing guard from across the street, but he keeps wandering off in the wrong direction.

Shuffles manages to shoot out Fuzzy's tires and gain some distance from his pursuer, but Fuzzy continues the chase on foot. After an amazing action packed chase Shuffles comes to a screeching halt when he finds himself face to face with Pursephony. Before Persephone can say a word Shuffles rushes out into the street when he sees Fuzzy right behind him.  he gets about halfway before he's run down by several cars. In an attempt to hog all the glory for himself, Fuzzy Bunz wanders into the street to make a formal arrest, only to have his big feet flattened like pancakes by a passing car. Not long after that the cops arrive and shut the street down so they can investigate what happened. Then and only then is it safe for Pursephony to get to the other side and make it to school just in time before the tardy bell. The cops arrest Shuffles and take him away. leaving Fuzzy Bunz without a bounty to collect since he didn't make a formal arrest.
