The following day, Ravi was still preoccupied with thoughts of the amulet, but he knew he needed to clear his mind before it dampened his spirits for today's 'Monster Con' event. Naturally, Bunnicula was making a fuss about it, given his celebrity status there.
Kai rolled his eyes. "Once again, Bunnicula, no one is impressed by your fame. If you're with us, we're all celebrities," he remarked.
Bunnicula folded his arms. "I'm not just hanging out; I have a performance on stage!" he retorted, tapping his foot impatiently.
Ravi strolled by, twirling his keys. "Looks like we'll be enjoying Monster Con on our own while you're stuck working," he said with a smirk, fully decked out in cosplay.
Kai looked puzzled. "And who are you supposed to be?" he inquired.
Ravi beamed. "I'm dressed as my favorite band member from 'Mechanical Zombies'! Cool, right?" he said, clearly excited.
Bunnicula placed a hand on his hip. "And who is that, exactly?" he asked, visibly annoyed.
Ravi sighed. "Come on, you don't know? It's R!" he said, disappointed.
Mint chuckled from behind. "Ravi, you're such a fanboy," she commented, shaking her head.
Ravi stood firm. "I have every right to be excited! They're performing and hosting a meet and greet!" he declared.
Chester, also in full cosplay, walked by them. "Ravi's right, and it's kind of unfortunate that you guys aren't dressed up," he said, crossing his arms as he stood next to Ravi.
Bunnicula examined Chester from head to toe. "And who are you supposed to be? Another Mechanical Zombie member?" he joked.
Chester raised an eyebrow. "Well, yes, I'm coordinating with Ravi. He's 'R,' and I'm 'Vee,'" he explained, turning to Bunnicula.
"Oh," Bunnicula responded, feeling humbled yet, for some reason, his blood boiled at the sight of Chester and Ravi in matching outfits."Feeling a little jealous, Bunnic?" Moxxie teased, noticing Bunnicula's expression.
Bunnicula gave Moxxie a sidelong glance. "Jealous? Of some silly outfit?" he scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Let's just go," he sighed, brushing past the others and settling into the van's backseat.
Kai glanced around. "Where's CC and Bendy?" he inquired, one eyebrow arched in curiosity.
"Right here!" CC and Bendy announced, emerging from the hallway donning full matching costumes, and proceeded to walk past everyone into the van.
Meanwhile, Chester climbed into the passenger seat next to Ravi, while Bunnicula observed from a distance, feeling an inexplicable heat rising in his head.
Moxxie, seated next to Bunnicula, nudged him playfully. "You sure you're not feeling jealous?" he teased again.
Bunnicula bristled, his jaw tightening. "Jealous? Of course not! Why would you even suggest that?" he retorted, clearly taken aback.
Moxxie's smirk widened. "You're totally jealous. It's written all over you," he asserted confidently.
Bunnicula folded his arms and slumped deeper into his seat. "And what would you know about my feelings? It's not as if I have any desire to be near Ravi constantly. He's quite bothersome," he exhaled heavily.
Moxxie chuckled, shrugging nonchalantly. "I don't know... You seem to get quite flushed at the mere mention of Ravi," he observed, still amused.
In the quiet that followed, Moxxie's face broke into a smile as he recalled something. "You know... You might actually have a shot with Ravi; I heard he's into guys," Moxxie said with a grin.
