*****************************************************
Why Me??

Work. Whoever made up the unbearable torture, will be
dead within five minutes of meeting me. I sighed as I
opened the front door. I frowned. The key didn't fit.
"Looking for this?" asked a familiar voice behind me.
I turned around and looked down. Dodger, my Oliver
Twist bunny, was holding my door key in one of his
floppy ears. "Dodger, what have I told you about
swiping my door key?" I sighed and bent down to pick
him up. "I've had a hard day at work, I don't need
anymore trouble today." Dodger just looked at me with
big brown eyes and I slapped his ear which was making
it's way to my pocket. He hastily folded it back onto
the brim of his battered top hat. I took the key from
the other ear and slipped it into the lock. Opening
the door and walking inside, I set Dodger on the table
and proceeded to make some dinner. As the pie was
cooking, I walked upstairs to my room with Dodger
right at my heels. As I turned on the light to my
room, I was met with a comment from my Austin Powers
bunny, Randy. "Do I make you horny baby? Do I? Do I
make you randy?" I rolled my eyes. "Randy, that line
isn't getting any better. I hate to tell you." I said,
petting the little bunny with the goofy glasses. He
sighed contentedly. "I know that," He said. "I just
like to torment you." I lay back on my bed only to
hear a squeal. "Get off!" yelled Hermione, local Harry
Potter bunny. "Sorry Hermione, I didn't see you." I
said while thinking *Why me?* . That was three of my
bunnies accounted for, where were the rest? I had
about thirty-five. I didn't write stories for them
all, they were just there to keep me company through
the hard times. Like when my friend, Rhoda, died from
committing suicide. *knock, knock, knock* . "Come in?"
I called and they door swung open to reveal ten of my
bunnies sitting there. "Oh boy..." I breathed.
Fletcher, Gypsy, Tess, Elmo, Daniel, Stanley, Eric,
Mia, Harry and Lola hopped into the room and settled
on the floor. Fletcher gave me a big, cheesy, bunny
grin. I rolled my eyes again and flopped back onto my
pillows. "Ouch!" Screeched a muffled voice from behind
the second pillow. "Watch it! You squashing us!" Out
crawled a distinctly ruffled Diana, Doofy and Rocky.
"What is this? Gang up on Tobie day, or something?" I
asked, grinning slightly. "Yes," said Bronwin, peeking
out from behind the huge teddy I had in the corner.
"14...15...16...17." I counted. "I hate to say it, but
where are the others?" Just then I heard a loud,
indignant voice coming toward my room. "Shut up! I
said I wanted carrot CAKE! not carrot roll!" *Let me
guess, CC, Scott and Cal* I thought. Those three
always hung out together. CC hopped in with a scowl
the size of Courasant on her face, closely followed by
Scott and Cal. *Twenty...* There were still fifteen
missing. I knew where they'd be. I looked under the
bed. " Are you guys going to come out or do I have to
put on the Spice Girls?" I asked. That brought them
out in a hurry. They absolutely detest the Spice
Girls. I checked my watch. I still had half-an-hour
before my pie would be ready. I decided to compose my
list of all my plot bunnies. I pulled a sheet of paper
from my folder and picked up my pen:

Tess: Blue Heelers bunny (wears police coat)

When I had finally finished the list, all my bunnies
were grinning. "What?" I asked. "What are you all
grinning at?"
"Look at your paws, er, hands." Said Kevin cheekily.
I glanced down and to my horror, saw that my hands
were covered in soft brown fur. I walked, no, hopped
over to the mirror and screamed. Staring back at me
was a small brown bunny. The others crowded around me
and Scott chuckled. "She's been sucked in," he said
and all the bunnies laughed. All I could say was, "Why
me??"

The End
