NOTE: After finally watching Igor fully, I decided to write a fanfic about my favorite character, Scamper. He's so hilarious and adorable and such a jerkass woobie. He's probably one of THE most sarcastic CGI characters ever created. I noticed a couple other fics about Scamper being angsty so I decided to do it in my own style. Basically, this short fic is about Scamper having a talk with Eva after Brain passes away. Enjoy!
Scamper sat alone on the balcony, gazing deep into the black night sky above. In his paws, he clutched a label that said "Brain" on it. The zombified rabbit breathed a heavy sigh as he ran his fingers across the label.
Just then, he felt a presence behind him and he slowly turned around to see Eva standing before him, "Scamper...is everything all right?"
"Talk about a wake up call." The rabbit smirked, "Everything's just hunky dory when you factor in that I'm immortal and will watch everyone else die..."
"Scamper, I'm sorry..."
Scamper sighed and closed his eyes, "Yeah, well sorry won't bring that idiot back."
Eva walked over to the depressed rabbit and sat down next to him, gently stroking his ears, "We all miss him, you know."
"So what? I'll miss all you guys when you're all six feet under and I'm still alive and kicking." Scamper grumbled, crossing his arms.
"Igor made me indestructible, remember?" Eva replied with a smile.
"Being indestructible and being immortal are two completely different things, you know." Scamper corrected Eva, "Just give it time, you'll slow down and eventually stop like the rest of them."
Eva sighed. She knew Scamper was right. There was nothing but dead silence between the two before a choked sob came out of the zombie bunny.
Scamper squeezed his eyes shut, a salty tear rolling down his muzzle and coming to a rest on the end of his nose. It hung there for a few seconds before another tear joined it and it fell from the rim of his nostril, hitting the metal floor of the balcony, "I...I don't want to be alone..."
"Scamper..."
"It's no wonder I wanted to die so badly." Scamper sniffled, wiping his nose with the back of his paw, "Such a miserable existence...an endless cycle of friends coming and going...so many funerals to attend, so little time..."
"You always have your evergreen, you know." Eva comforted the rabbit.
Scamper blinked a few times but then rolled his eyes, "So? Is Igor going to bring it to life? Plants generally have lower IQs than Brain and that's saying something."
"I just want you to consider it as an option, in case you ever feel lonely." Eva replied, stroking Scamper's long ears again.
"My tears are all the company I'll need once you guys croak." The rabbit replied sarcastically, "Last time I checked, salt water doesn't talk back to you or give you migranes."
"I just want you to be happy, that's all." Eva replied gently as she continued petting him.
"Easier said than done, Eva. Easier said than done..." Scamper sighed, staring brokenly at the twinkling stars in the sky.
The end.
