Afternoon Antics

Here's a rabbit story that I've had in the draft stage for a while. The other day I decided to polish it up a bit and post it. I hope you all enjoy it!

It was a rainy day, and Aravis invited Dreamy over for tea. They were having a very pleasant conversation.

“Mmm-Hmm! And I was just like ‘Really?!?!?!?!?’”

Aravis sipped her tea. “Yea, I just hate it when that happens.”

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

“Now, who could that be? Sebastian’s over at Digory’s house, so it couldn’t be him.” Aravis went and opened the door. There stood Sebastian, wet and covered in mud. “You’re supposed to be at Dig…” Aravis started.

“ARRRRGH!” Sebastian yelled, and charged into the house. “TO THE BASEMENT!!!!!!!!!!”

“…ory’s.” She finished, just as Digory and the rest of Sebastian’s mud-covered “gang” stampeded through her living room. She watched in shock as her new living room carpet turned into something that resembled a well-used pig pen. “SEBASTIAN!!!!! WHAT are you DOING!” She fairly shrieked. Dreamy looked appalled.

“Does he always act so…uncivilized?” she asked, when the bucks had all disappeared downstairs.

“Put it this way,” said Aravis, “he accidently flew a drone into our wedding cake.”

“Oh… but how are you going to clean it up?”

“I am definitely NOT cleaning it up. Sebastian and Digory like to help support the younger rabbits in the community, so they make a mess once a month and then pay them to clean it up.”

“Wow. I guess that’s one way to do it.”

“Usually they make a mess OUTSIDE, though. There’s no need to do it in the HOUSE!!”

“SORRY!!” came from the basement. “So, can you maybe bring us down some food?”

“I’m OUT of food!” Aravis shouted back, “so maybe you could get OUT of the basement!” Five minutes later, a rather large group of bucks, headed by Sebastian, trudged up the stairs.

“Where are we going next? We already got banned from Diggy’s house.”

“Oh, I’m sure the fire hall’s available.” Aravis smiled cheerfully at them as the walked out the door and into the rain. “Have fun, guys!”

Aravis called the professional carpet cleaner as it was much too hard a job for the young rabbits of their community.  She brewed fresh cups of tea for them both, and then they sat down to enjoy an afternoon of chatting that would hopefully NOT be interrupted by any more of Sebastian’s ridiculous antics.
