Rabbid Guy

Souk Eye

Guy followed the rabbids outside Big Hope to the parking lot where other rabbids were roaming and playing in the open space dotted with streetlights. Left behind, the only car remaining was Guy's own. Stickers and Tie walked right past it, but Guy couldn't help staring, knowing that it might be the last time he would see it. He had paid off his car for the past five years, and now, it didn't matter.

He could remember the change he had left inside the console compartment; his notepad, a nearly dried pen he refused to throw out, a blanket, water bottle and his emergency mints. He was too small to drive now, and surely not trusted by the law to do so. What a shame.

Stickers and Tie paused when they noticed Guy lost in thought.

"He's staring oddly at that car. You think he's attracted to it?" Tie pointed to Guy, crossed his arms over his chest and then pretended to hold on to a steering wheel.

"Maybe. I think there's something else wrong with this one. Have you noticed he's a little... jumpy? It's like he's afraid of something, but there isn't any fire or explosions or nothing?" Stickers said.

"Really? I didn't pick up any of that. He seems proper to me, like a teacher or a scientist! Although maybe a little anxious, but teachers and scientists are always anxious," Tie put his hands out in front of him, palms facing the floor, and tilted them side to side from their wrists.

"Proper as he may be, if he's afraid maybe we should be too. What if it's not something around him but something inside. What if he ate a bomb, but like one with a timer!?" Stickers said.

"You think so??" Tie put his hands in his mouth in worry.
"Who knows!"
"We should go ask him!"
"I have a better idea!"

Guy turned around to see his two companions running over to him. Stickers' eye had turned red. They flipped Guy over by his ankles and shook him upside down.

"Spit it out!!" They hissed.

"Be gentle! You could make him explode if you jostle the bomb!" Tie grabbed his own ears to comfort himself.

"STOP! W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Guy tried desperately to get out of Sticker's iron grip. His wallet fell out of his jacket pocket.
"Trying to get you to spit up the bomb!" Tie said.
"I didn't eat any bomb!" Guy said.
"You sure?!" Stickers asked.
"Yes yes!! A hundred percent! Just please put me dow-"

Stickers dropped him, and then went up to a street light. They punched it with a beastly rage, bending the entire pole as if it had been hit by a cannonball. Guy felt his ears bend back whilst reacting to what he saw.

"Woah! Ok, what's wrong with him?" He breathed, getting behind Tie.
"Oh he's just like that sometimes. Sorry we thought you had a bomb in you," Tie shrugged.
"Why in anyone's right mind would you believe I ate a bomb?" Guy asked. The two rabbids blinked at him, taking the time to comprehend the question, "You know what, nevermind." Guy walked on past his car.

"No no! It was for good reason!" Tie said, catching up to him, "What if you blew up and it really hurt you, and you didn't tell us to try to protect our feelings. If we could get it out, we'd probably have to be quick like we just were!"

"..I guess that makes a little sense.." Guy said, crossing his arms.
"See! That's the perfect amount of sense!"
"Do rabbids swallow bombs a lot?" Guy asked.
"Not in the slightest!" Tie shook his head.

Meanwhile Stickers was cooling off when they found something on the ground: a wallet. Where did it come from again?? Stickers put his hand on his chin and tapped his foot to think. Ah! It was in that strange rabbid's pocket. Something like this obviously wasn't his, so maybe he wouldn't mind if he looked to see if there were any free stickers inside.
