Chapter 8: A Green Rabbit's Attitude

After the duel, DogDay sat on the ground with a sigh.

“Darn…” He said, “I sure do need to reevaluate my deck.”

Bubba stepped forward to offer a hand to DogDay.

“I'm impressed with the word you've chosen.” He said as he got DogDay up,

DogDay chuckled a bit and scratched the back of his head.

“Yeah…” He said, “I guess you went easy on me with your Cyber Dragons, huh?”

“Yes, I was.” Bubba replied, “I didn't want to use my full power on a friend of mine for years.”

“Really?”

“Well, there is something that you and CatNap should go to with us.”

CatNap got up as he, Bobby and PickyPiggy walked over to Bubba.

“And where are you taking us to?” CatNap wondered,

“A tournament.” Bubba replied,

“Ooh, a tournament?” DogDay said, interested, “Tell us more.”

“Well, it's basically a tournament with the Duel Monsters card game. 16 of us are dueling for a chance to become a Master Ranked Duelist.”

PickyPiggy smiled.

“Me and Bubba are qualified!” She said, “I mean, my deck isn't the best, but it's worth every dime!”

“Oh, that's nice.” DogDay said, “Bobby, are you qualified?”

“Uhh… No.” Bobby replied, “I don't think my deck is good enough for this tournament…”

“Huh? Why not?”

“It's because she's using cards that she loves!” A Feminine voice replied,

Everyone heard the voice as it sounded familiar to them. PickyPiggy smelled something in the air.

“Peppermint.” She said, “I smell someone eating peppermint to give themselves a clean, but very strong smell.”

“Damn, smelling another critter's breath, huh?” The Feminine voice said,

Everyone turned to a green rabbit girl in a sweat jacket and sweatpants. She appeared to be eating peppermint candy to give her a good smelling breath. She also had a charm around her as a lightning bolt.

“Hoppy?!” CatNap said,

“Hoppy HopScotch?!” DogDay said,

“Hoppy…” Picky said, “Well, fancy seeing you here.”

Hoppy swallowed the peppermint candy she was eating.

“Fancy seeing you losers here as well.” She said, “...Except for you, Bubba.”

Bubba shook his head and sighed.

“Alright then…” He said, “How's KickinChicken?”

“Oh, my boyfriend?” Hoppy wondered, “He's doing good.”

“Jeez, for a flat critter like you, I'm shocked ya got a man.” PickyPiggy said,

“Pfft! My personality and eyes are the only things that's gonna make KickinChicken love me! …And the crap we do together. High risk, but very rewarding.”
