"Hey! What do you think you're doing!?" Buttercup shouts as she, Alexis, and some other rabbits see the group trying to sneak away with food.

"Go! I'll hold them till you get away." Bigwig says as he drops his carrot.

"No!" Hazel says as he stops with Bigwig.

"For once don't argue! Come on then. Let's see what you're made of!" Bigwig shouts as he begins fighting with the rabbits as Hazel runs.

*Timeskip*

"That is enough! We try to help you and now you attack us. Why?" Buttercup asks as the group stops Bigwig outside the warren.

"You live alongside man. They're elil. The enemy. That makes you the enemy." Bigwig says.

"You know nothing about us nor understand but yet you're this quick to attack and judge someone before even trying to give them a chance and get to know them for who they are not what they are?" Alexis asks.

"At the sight of man run as fast as you can. That's simple enough isn't it?" Bigwig asks.

"Maybe not all men are alike. Maybe not all rabbits are alike." Buttercup says.

"Yeah. You got that right. We're not the kind who likes man or takes his food. As for you Alexis I don't want you anywhere near our home or anyone in our warren again. You have no place near there if you associate with man." Bigwig says as Alexis gives a hurt look.

"All Alexis wanted to do was help you. She's never once harmed you or your friends. Isn't that what you came out anyway? Looking for food?" Buttercup asks.

"To steal it yes. Not to take it from man's hand like dogs." Bigwig says.

"In this warren we don't need to steal. Man understands the hardship of winter and gives us food. As a gift." Buttercup says.

"But... but... man doesn't care about us." Bigwig says.

"Some of them do. Trust us." Buttercup says.

"She's right Bigwig. I used to think that way you do but now I know there are good ones out there. Not all are good but some are and the ones here are good." Alexis says.

"Oh no. The others." Bigwig says as the group hears commotion.

"There's a fox. I can smell it." Alexis says as she sniffs the air.

"Alexis go. You'll get to them faster. Hurry." Buttercup says as Alexis nods.

"Right." Alexis says as she shifts to wolf form and runs off.
