Chapter 2- A Sticky Situtation
Chapter 2- A Sticky Situtation
Honey opened her eyes, stretching her limbs and riseing from her comfortable... Bed? Honey stared in awe of the room she was in. Beneath her, a fluffy pillow sat. Not dirt, and dry grass. She no longer stared at the open sky when she woke. She was in a warm home, she no longer feared being eaten by snakes, or the 'Fire Ram' returning and burning more of her home.
Honey hopped to her feet, wiggling her nose, and taking a good look of what was around her. A large wooden structure stood by her on long rectangular legs of it's own.'Woah! That thing is almost as tall as a tree! I wonder it I can climb on those ledges?' Honey mused, hopping onto the dresser's open drawers till she reached the top of the dresser.
Honey marveled at the view she was presented with. It was huge, and she knew there was a ton to explore, so she might as well get started. She hopped down from the dresser, landing on a large quilt. Oddly enough the bed was very warm in the middle, and locks of pink fur lined the top. 'Pink hair? Oh! This must be pegasus's bed!' Honey realized. She hopped off of the mare and began to look for where she could explore next. A loud grumble came from the little bunny's belly, and she squeaked in surprise.
'Uh oh... I'm hungry... How do I wake her up?' Honey hopped back and forth trying to find an answer. Then is quite literally struck her. Honey rubbed her head, and looked up at what she had run into. It was a framed picture of Angel.
'Angel bunny! That's who I should find! He'll know how to wake her up!' She squeaked, racing down the steps that led to the kitchen.
Meanwhile-
Angel frowned. This would have to do. He grabbed his quill and finished his plans. Now all he needed was other animals who would assist him...
He whistled, and about twenty mice, birds, and squirrels gathered in the room. All seemed confused, why had he called a meeting right now?
"As most of you know, there is a new bunny in the house. But this isn't a good sign. This bunny has managed to capture the attention of Fluttershy, and I fear that she will forget all about us! Help me, and we can save Fluttershy who has been most kind to us! Together we can stop the bunny!" Angel squeaked, and all the animals cheered. Now Angel had everything he needed.
Back with Honey-
Honey hopped down the steps, taking care not to fall. 'Angel has to be down stairs!' She squeaked, reaching the kitchen floor.
'Hello? Mr. Angel? I need help getting your pegasus friend up!' Honey called, hopping through the kitchen, and into the sofa room.
Angel was nowhere to be seen, and Honey became worried she'd never find him. She continued to call for him, however.
Suddenly Honey heard humming from behind her, and looked up to see a dried grass net, hovering over her. She squealed in surprise and ran under the sofa, on,y to be greeted by a band of mice with another net. She quickly jumped up onto a table, and looked up to see a large creature wearing a pink tutu, as a lamp. Maybe this pegasus likes her job to much.
Honey kept from the table, and sprinted into the kitchen. Suddenly several squirrels and birds began throwing marshmallows, and pouring sticky syrup on her as she ran past. Honey became to sticky and fluffy to move, and she felt the syrup harden around her toes.
Suddenly a little white tail backed into the clearing, and Honey felt she was saved. Angel stepped out and his sweet demeanor diminished. Honey's lower lip quivered and she began to bawl. He was being mean to her! He didn't like her at all! Honey thought, releasing more tears.
Suddenly a gray bunny wearing pink glasses hopped out into the room and glared at Angel.
'Angel! I'm ashamed of you!' The bunny squeaked, and Angel became deathly still.
'Uh oh...' Angel mumbled, putting on his best pouting face.
The gray bunny hopped over to Honey, and gave her a comforting hug, then turned to Angel, and delivered her wrath.
'She's just a little bunny, not much older than you! This is despicable behavior, from all of you! Now I'm going to have to tell Fluttershy all about this, so you'd better be sorry!' The rabbit chattered to all the animals.
Angel squeaked,'Mom?! Uhhhh.... I can explain?' The gray bunny, grabbed Angel by the ear, and pulled him up to Fluttershy's room. Honey's tummy grumbled, and she began to lick her fur to get unstuck.
Luckily she didn't have to, as Fluttershy showed up and unstuck her from the floor. She looked very worried and took care in calming her down.
"Oh, you poor thing! Don't worry, we'll get you all washed up, and then we can have pancakes. Does that sound good?" Fluttershy soothed trotting into the bathroom. A few minutes later, Angel showed up with an apologetic look on his face and a large bar of soap.
Honey was a little wary of the white bunny, and would only let Fluttershy touch her, and the sweet gray bunny who's name was Hera. She honestly didn't know how she could trust Angel again. Soon Honey was clean, dry, and absolutely fluffy.
Angel hopped out of the room dejectedly, and Honey couldn't help but feel sorry. Maybe there was more to him than she knew, and now she was determined to find out.
Honey jumped from the sink, following Angel out the door. She couldn't see him anymore but she could smell him, and she found him sniffling in a corner. She wiggled her nose, and hopped over, tapping on his shoulder.
Angel turned around, and the little bunny gave him a big hug, and a little kiss on his nose for good measure. Angel put on a brave face, but his blush said it all.
Author's Note
Welp. That happened.
Chapter 1- Hopscotch, and Honey
"Geez, I hope Fluttershy gets back soon. She's been gone for a whole week!" Pinkie pie squeaked to Twilight, affectively disturbing her from studies.
Twilight glanced at the bored Pinkie, who had insisted in keeping Twilight company while she waited for Fluttershy to return, "I know, Pinkie, she said she'd be back later today."
Pinkie paused for a second. "It's later, is she back yet?" Twilight stopped reading, looked up blankly, and closed her book quite loudly as if trying to punctuate her irritation.
"No Pinkie, if she was here I would have had Spike send a message to the others," Twilight grumbled, clearly exasperated with her friend. She then reopened the book, ignoring Pinkie's madness.
Pinkie pouted, pulling rubber ball from her fluffy pink mane, and repeatedly hitting it on a crystalline wall, making the sound reverberate around the room, and shaking some of the jewels on the roots of Twilight's old tree house. At some point Twilight got up and found earmuffs.
Continuing to bounce the ball, Pinkie could not help but notice a faint hoof tapping up the steps of Twilight's castle along side the ball's bounce. Pinkie shot up and hid behind a pillar, fearing the worst. While peeking out at the hall, Pinkie noticed the distinct pink mane style Fluttershy sported.
Pinkie squee'd and raced toward Fluttershy, squeezing her best friend, and seemingly bouncing at the same time."Fluttershy! I missed you soooooo much! How was the trip? Did you meet anypony cool? Did you find a new and endangered species of animal which needed your help, and you saved it's entire race?!"
"Pinkie! Get off of her, she can't tell you without her breath!" Twilight berated Pinkie, giving a weak smile to her pegasus friend.
Pinkie took a second and considered stopping the hug-fest,"Okie dokie, Lokie!" She promptly released her, and began humming.
Once Fluttershy was released, she took a long breath, and spoke quietly,"Hi Pinkie, hi Twilight."
Twilight took a step forward, and gave Fluttershy a small hug, but none the less meaningful. Fluttershy blushed slightly, and moved her mane, and to both Pinkie and Twilight's surprise, a small caramel brown rabbit popped out of her bag, and with a wiggle of her nose, and a little hop she was down at Fluttershy's side, hugging her front hoof tightly.
"Well, you were right on one thing Pinkie, who is this adorable little guy?" Twilight asked, smiling down at the little bunny who seemed curious of the brightly colored alicorn.
"This is Honey. She lost her family during the Tirek incident, the the poor dear..." Fluttershy explained, giving the little bunny a rub on the head with her muzzle.
"Aw! She is so cute! And that is so sad!" Pinkie said, tickling the little bunny's tummy, causing the little bunny to squeak cutely.
"Well, I'll get Spike to send a letter to the girls and make some daffodil and daisy sandwiches for us." Twilight said trotting off into the other room, not waiting for a response from Fluttershy.
"Oh, um... Pinkie... Would you mind telling Twilight to hold off on the sandwiches? I wanted to go see the animals before I introduce Honey to the girls, so she gets used to her new home..." Fluttershy said, lifting the little rabbit up into her bag, via wing.
"Aw, ok! I'll tell Twilight!" Pinkie bounced away, calling after Twilight.
Fluttershy sighed and clipped out of the room, Honey in her saddle bags, and a worried look on the little bunny's features.
When Fluttershy finally made it to her cottage, all was still, besides a very pleased looking white rabbit at her door step.
"Oh hello Angel bunny, I hope you didn't miss me too much!" The white rabbit hopped up to Fluttershy and hugged her, giving an affectionate nuzzle into her yellow coat.
'Heh, well I did, you happy?' Angel said, then he chattered to Fluttershy about all that had happened while she was away.
'-And then Wyona ran into the window!' Angel squeaked, doing his best impression of the poor farm dog.
"Oh Angel! Is Wyona ok?!" Fluttershy gasped, putting her hoof to cover her mouth. Angel smacked his head with a paw and nodded.
Angel hopped up onto the couch, and gave and expectant look,'The birds told me you brought a surprise home from your trip! So, what is it?'
Fluttershy looked flabbergasted, and blushed, pulling off her saddle bags carefully, as to not squish the little bunny inside. And as soon as that happened a tiny squeak echoed throughout the room as the little caramel rabbit leapt from the bag.
Angel blinked. And then he blinked again.'Erm. Fluttershy I think a bunny hitched a ride in your saddle bags.'
"No, Angel, she did not. Angel, this is Honey, Honey, this is Angel." Fluttershy said quickly, the worried look soon returning to Fluttershy's, and Honey's faces.
Angel gave a little look to Honey, and bounced down to her and looked as though he where sizing her up. Honey squeaked and gave Angel a kiss on the top of his nose and a large hug. Angel stood, stalk still, and the room was completely silent.
"Come along Honey, we'll get you settled in up stares in my room, ok?" Fluttershy hurriedly ushered her out of the room, and up the stairway.
Meanwhile, Angel had finally gotten out of his daze, and looked very disgruntled. Who was this new bunny who had stolen his owner's heart? And why did she look so familiar? And most importantly, how could he make sure he was the center of attention again? He shook his head and hopped up the stairs, not noticing the new arrival, known as Hera, Angel's mother, watching the scene.
'Please don't turn out like last time.' Hera whispered to herself, hopping out of the room silently.
