Cherry On Top

Little Red with a "Bee" (Part 2)

"Oh no sir, I muuuust get to my grannies house. She ne-needs the bread and stuff" Cookie blushed.
"If you dont want me to mess up them maybe you shouldn't laugh at me" He muttered, holding the script a little tighter.

"Who said I didnt like it?" he laughed a little, "Its pretty cute, if you can say the actual lines and keep that energy you'll be a hit." Bunny put his script down on the couch, looking back at me.

"Now let's start again okay?" he cleared his throat, "Oh my little one, what might you be doing in the woods at such a time?" Cookie took a deep breathe.

"Uh..I have to b-bring my Grandma a basket of...stuff-" Bunny laughed.

"Bread?"

"...yeah"

"You sure you're cut out for this kinda stuff Honeybee?" Cookie raised an eyebrow up at Bunny, who in turn just looked confused.

"I...I dunno I just figured since you do this stuff all the time...you know...shouldn't i?' He fidgeted in his spot, averting his eyes from Bunny.

"Oh screw that." He stepped up to Cookie and spun around, starting to undo his costume.

"What're you doing?"

"Getting this thing off you, come on pull the sleeve" Cookie did as he was told.

Cookie sat on the couch, staring at the floor as Bunny put the costume away.

"Are you...gonna tell me what that was all about?" Bunny shook his head.

"You were uncomfortable all day."

"Oh...you noticed?"

"Of course I did, i...I dunno I guess I thought you were just nervous, you know you coulda said something if you didnt want to come! This stuff, its gonna track you your whole life. It's always out there for people to see." Bunny hung the costumes hanger up.

"That's...embarassing" He smiled a little, sitting by Cookie.

"Right? So you probably shouldn't do it." Cookie looked up and stared at Bunny.

"But..you-"

"Have already been in so much of this stuff that I could never have a different job, even if I tried. Yeah man, sounds sucky cause it is sucky, for anyone who plans on stopping anyway."

"Do you?" Bunny laughed fakely.

"Nope. I like this stuff too much." He got up.

"Now you stay here, I'm gonna go talk to the director."
