the story continues....

So there once was this hair….er bunny…or rabbit…..ummm

“I am either a bunny or a rabbit…and definitely not a hair.”

Ohh yes so She is a Bunny Rabbit…

“I cant be both! One or the other…”

….OK so this Bunny Rabbit…“hymph”….has returned from her visit across that sea….she has spent her summer working away saving and tanning….but summer is over and it is time for her to move away from home…she says goodbye to her loving father and mother and farewell to her little brother…she packs her bags and gives a goodbye kiss to the family pet hamster…with a tear in the back of her eye fighting to get out and an excitement in her chest busting into screams of joy, she walks out through the fields of grass and long calm beaches to the unknown islands of the north…with her bags in hand she hops over to a friendly line of roadrunners, she finds one she likes and tucks her bags under a few feathers of his belly, the bird in line with a train of others all pecking at a pile of seeds as gofers and turtles all take their places on the backs of these birds….the Bunny Rabbit hops onto his back, and after a few moments the roadrunners begin to walk along, his legs chugging along the birds begin to pick up speed…the rabbit has been here before but this time there is no return trip planned…she is off to start her life….in her mind she envisions all the great things to come and these birds cant move any faster….

Meanwhile, back on the peninsula miles away across the sea there is a chipmunk squirrel…he is living amongst the tree squirrels and gofers, playing everyday with his friends the owl and parakeet and the gay koala…..He has thrown himself into work, serving gourmet nuts and berry juices to all sorts of traveling birds and animals…he says hello and goodbye to many strangers a day, working hard and having fun…then, after, he plays with his friends distracting himself as much as he can until the wee hours of the night until all there is to do is go home rest his little chipmunk head and sleep…because in the back of his mind is an image of a Bunny Rabbit that he just cant forget…he can see her big beautiful eyes, her perfect fluffy tail, and how warm he felt when she smiled at him…he wonders about all the wonderful things in her life and how she is doing…but…he must force those thoughts away, he knows she loves him not…

So driven to forget her, he throws himself at anything that comes his way…but his heart is not into it…his soul misses her greatly…and his mind is too weak to let her go…with all his wisdom and years of disappointments and rejections, this time he knows he lost more than just anybody…and he knows he will never get her back…he quickly shakes his head and reminds himself she will never be in his life again…she rejected him and has forgotten about him…the chipmunk squirrel laying in his bed trying to sleep…he plans his next move…he has a checklist and is working hard everyday…he knows he deserves better, that he can be a better chipmunk…and someday….
