"Yes Mr. Borgen, they are here… Yes, she is with the fox, I said they… Yes sorry… The prototype will be done by the time your plans to capture her are in place… No… They won't know what is happening until it has done its job… Of course, the explosives are in place at the lobby to your request Mr. Borgen… Goodbye…"

Judy amidst her screeching reminded herself to strangle Nick later until he turned the color of the berries he so loved. The bungee cord snapped with light weight of the bunny, throwing her about. After Nick's giggling subsided, he turned to face her, and wished he hadn't, as the death stare was one he hadn't seen in awhile.

"You're next fox…" the instructor they had hired stated with grim satisfaction. Nick gave a small hint of rebellion before he himself was off the edge going 60 kph down the face of the rock. His eyes teared as they strained to stay in the eye sockets. His body was whipped around, but this time with less vigor, due to the slightly larger size of the fox. He was pulled up by Judy, who was not trying to hide the laughter at the sight of Nick going careening down the side of the rock with a less pleasurable look upon him.

"Fine, I won't push you next time...sly bunny." Nick said.

As they were packing the cords and gear, Judy pulled out her phone and said she had gotten a call from her parents.

"What mom? Yes we are….This weekend?"Judy looked at Nick with a quizzical stare.

"What fluff? They invite us again?" Nick reassured her as he already knew, as it had been three months since they saw her family again. Nick hated going, mostly due to the mass amount of kids and internal injury that he sustained from them. They finished packing as Judy finished the call.

"Just a dinner invite, old cousins coming from the upstate area," Judy stated breathlessly, as talking with her parents for 6 minutes took a lot out of her due to the amount of stuff that happens during the call. Nick heard one once, and it sounded like the boys locker room after P.E. back in middle school. All talk, no intellect. Nick thought it was silly how people could talk and have nothing to say at the same time. He pondered it quietly as he quickly loaded the gear, waved the instructor good-bye, and walked alongside Judy as they both went down the old battered country road, a mix of dead grey cement pieces and light brown dirt, all the while dust blew with no direction in mind.

The late afternoon sky was a deep hue of reds and pinks, with clouds dusting the far skies as stars made small flashes among the amber color of the sun. Nick smiled at the warmth given off by the sun as the couple strolled down the dirty path. Judy's mind was in a differing state, due to the recent call from her parents asking for her to come to dinner after this year's crop harvest was good. Judy sighed internally as it would end this outing short, yet seeing parents was always required. There was no punishment. It just seemed… right to go this time.

"Nick, I worry that my parents keep having us over to study you, rather than have me over." she inquired glumly, kicked a small innocent stone into a small pothole among many.

"Fluff, your parents just worry about you. And me being with you. Them checking up on you isn't all bad. Is it?" Nick replied with a calm tone.

"No...No I guess it isn't…" Judy said, before letting out a long sigh,"but that means we pack tomorrowish at around 9:34 am by the latest. We can't sleep in like you always do," she continued before giving Nick an accusatory look with a bit of sarcasm in the undertone. Nick was never going to be a morning person. The earliest he naturally woke up was one day at 6:30, and that was because he was meeting family he hadn't seen in years. Judy smiled. Nick did say his mom was the nicest mammal in the world. Judy looked back up at Nick, who had the look of negotiation on his face.

"Fine. But only if we order scones, not jelly doughnuts," Nick replied.

"Ugh. Always one to negotiate. Very well Mr. Wilde. You win. Scones it is."

Nick grunted happily to himself. He looked over at the bunny. His eyes moved up and down, admiring the creature he had somehow managed to convince to enjoy his company. He smiled at himself and told himself once again that he doesn't deserve her. Damn it he wish he didn't have to tell himself that, but he has to keep himself in check. Don't ever want to get sloppy around a girlfriend of any type. He giggled a little as he thought about how his first girlfriend would be a bunny. Judy didn't seem to notice.

They reached their hotel without much else happening. The old hotel was homely. The lobby was an adobe style hut with streaks of brown protruding from the green and white backdrop. The ceiling was dusty and the overall area was stuffy, and those behind the desk never seemed to get used to the air in the lobby.

"That lobby is really uncomfy…" Judy hastily told Nick as they left the old building,"which is a shame, the rooms are really nice here."

"Yes, but that lobby got me a cheaper price, so I think it's a win for my bank account," Nick said while patting his pant pocket where his wallet lay, ready to be drawn in an instant. Judy smiled at the comment as she moved forward to open the door. As she turned to let Nick in, her ears twitched at the sound of a click, and two seconds later, the lobby was torn like paper in water by an explosion large enough to send shards of glass and metal right at the two mammals...

History's Mistakes.
