As the bunny leader closes his door, Oolong scoffs. "Well it looks like the circus has come to town." I elbow him in the side and he lets out a small 'oof'. "Just because he looks funny doesn't mean he can be taken lightly." I remind him, the scowl on my face curving deeper. The two rabbit goons we dealt with ran to their boss, crying for his help before bowing before him. "Please boss! Help us!" The boss rabbit glares at them. "Knock it off you mugs just point me out the kids that think they're tough enough to take on the mighty rabbits." Immediately the goons comply, pointing at Goku and I with sly grins. "That's them, over there!"

Bulma covers her mouth and stifles a giggle. "You mean that old furball is their leader?" Oolong leans over the side of the car, his eyes trained on the boss. "Yeah look at him, he looks like a reject from an easter parade!" Even though I told them to knock it off earlier I can't help but smile a little at Oolong's comment.

One of the goons faces Oolong with a disgusted face. "We heard that pig." Oolong scoffs. "Oh yeah? What are you gonna do? Wiggle your nose and tickle me?" The taller goon smiles. "Awfully big words for a bacon bit yes?" He chuckles to himself and I feel the hairs on the back of my neck bristle in anger. The shorter goon chuckles as well and playfully punches his friends arm. "Haha good one!"

Their jokes are short lived as their boss growls, clearly as fed up as me. "You call yourself rabbits and yet got beaten by a kid?" I roll my eyes and Goku blinks, probably confused. The goons dip their heads. "Yeah, sorry boss." The boss spins on them. "Quit gravelling! Now, watch this!" The rabbit leader stomps twice before launching himself into the air, landing gracefully in front of us. Bulma lets out a squeal and climbs into the car.

Immediately on the defense, I slide off the side of the car and stand by Goku while glaring at the man. The rabbit leader sticks his hand out towards Bulma and smirks. "Let's shake hands baby." Bulma blinks twice and Oolong gives the man a stinky eye. "I wouldn't trust him Bulma." I nod my head, agreeing with Oolong for once. "Listen to Oolong, don't do it."

Goku doesn't take the hint and smiles instead. "Hey, did you want to be friends with us?" The man smiles. "Certainly." Bulma scoffs and slaps his hand away. "Hmph! There. Now be a nice bunny and hop out of here would ya?" Bulma sticks her tongue out in his face and I crack a grin. The rabbit leader smiles and laughs. "Haha! You touched me!" My eyebrows shoot up in surprise before I reach out to Bulma, but I am too late. Bulma turns into a carrot with a puff of smoke and we all let out a shout when it startles us.

Bulma- er, the carrot lands in the Rabbit Leader's hands while Goku and Oolong shake their arms around. "Y-you turned Bulma into a carrot!" Goku stutters out, his arms still flying all over the place. The boss just laughs. "Want a bite maybe?"

I can't move. Just like last time I could do nothing to stop the evil from hurting my friends. In the background I can hear the goons laughing but it is soft and quiet, the only sounds I was able to comprehend were my heart beat, and Goku's steady breath in the back of my mind.

I finally snap out of my daze as Goku jumps down, facing the man that was holding Bulma. "You bully! Change her back!" I stand beside him, glaring at the man with inexpressible hatred. The rabbit only chuckled. "Sure kids, if you want to end up like your friend why don't you come and get me? But you've got to like vegetables because if you touch me you're gonna be one!"
