Hey everyone! New story. As mentioned in the summary this story is going to be a three-shot so it's not going to be really long. I got this idea the other day after my friend and I were talking about what we are afraid of and I decided to make a little story based from the things we were talking about. Hope you enjoy!

Adam, Leo and Chase we all sitting at the kitchen counter, enjoying the after school snack that their mother Tasha had just finished making for them.

"Thanks for the cheeses and crackers mom" Leo thanked.

"Yeah" Adam and Chase added, "Thanks."

"No problem kids" Tasha replied. The front door to the house opened and sprinting into the house was Bree with a small animal cage in her hands. Inside the cage was a small fluffy white rabbit.

"Look what I have everyone!" Bree exclaimed as she set the cage down on the living room couch.

"What is it?" Leo curiously asked, walking over to the couch.

"It's a rabbit." Bree laughed as she pulled the rabbit out of the cage and held it.

"A rabbit?" Adam asked as he walked over to the couch as well.

"Oh I want to see" Tasha replies walking out of the kitchen.

"A rabbit?!" Chase exclaimed as he stayed seated in the kitchen.

"Yeah" Bree told, "Isn't he the cutest thing? His name is Cuddles."

"W-what is that thing doing here?" Chase stuttered out, taking his eyes off of the little animal and back onto his snack.

"Well I need him for my science project" the girl explained, "I have to track when he eats, sleeps, plays and other things."

"What does a rabbit's personal life have to do with Chemistry?" Leo asked his sister.

"Nothing. It's just an extra credit assignment I'm doing."

"Oh."

"Why do you need extra credit points if you already have an A in the class?" Chase mumbled to himself. Tasha walks closer to the animal and starts to gently stroke its fur.

"He's so cute" Tasha says, "Cuddles kind of reminds me of your old pet rabbit Leo." Adam chuckles.

"You had a pet bunny Leo?" Adam asked. Leo nodded.

"I did back when I was five" Leo replied, "And I loved that thing too. Too bad somebody let it play outside the house in the backyard while I was napping and it ran away." Leo glared at his mother.

"Hey" Tasha cried, "I thought it would just stay in our backyard like any other animal would have. I left it alone for ten minutes! How was I supposed to know that it would dig a hole in our backyard, go underneath our fence to the other side and escape?" Leo shook his head.

"You're not supposed to leave a rabbit unsupervised! Who leaves a rabbit unsupervised if it's not in its cage?" Leo took a deep breath, lowered his voice and looked up, "Don't worry Buddy, I'll find you someday." There was an awkward moment of silence.

"Uh…..anyway" Bree said breaking the silence as she turned to face Tasha, "I know I should have asked you and Mr. Davenport before I brought it home, but can Cuddles stay here for the week with us?"

"Sure" Tasha answered with a smile. Chase, who was still sitting in the kitchen, gasped.

"W-what?!" he exclaimed, "No way!" The family looked into the kitchen at the bionic with concerned looks on their faces. Chase lightly chuckled and quieted his voice, "I mean….yay Cuddles is staying with us." He hopped off his chair and started to walk towards the elevator, "I'll be in the lab doing my homework."

"But its Friday" Leo informed.

"I have a lot of homework to do this weekend."

"Wait" Bree said to her brother as she started to walk towards him, "Don't you want to hold Cuddles first?" Chase quickly shook his head as he sprinted into the elevator and pushed the button to head down to the lab.

"Nope I'm good." The elevator doors close as Bree finally reaches the elevator.

"Well, that was weird" Adam stated, "I'm surprised Chase didn't scan Cuddles to make sure he didn't have any germs before we let him stay here." Bree shrugged and walked back into the living room.

"Does anyone else want to hold him?" she asked.

"Oh I do!" Leo cried as he snatched the rabbit out of Bree's arms.

"Hey careful Leo!" Leo plopped down on the couch.

"Don't worry Bree" he assured, "I'm always careful. That's why animals love me."

"Well, Lucky apparently didn't love you if he ran away" Adam replied. Leo glared at him.

"Lucky did too love me! And so does Cuddles" he then started to speak to the rabbit like it was a baby "Isn't that right Cuddles? Aww you're a cute little rabbit. Yes you are. You're the cutest little rabbit I have ever-" The boy stopped talking and put a disgusted look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Bree asked.

"I think Cuddles here pooped on me." After a couple of seconds the family started to smell the awful smell of the rabbit's mess. "Can someone help me clean it up?"

"Eww no way you're on your own for that" Tasha replied walking back into the kitchen.

"Yeah what Tasha said" Adam added also walking into the kitchen.

"Yeah and as much as I would love to help you" Bree started, "I have to…run to the store to buy plenty of carrots for Cuddles to eat…yeah."

"But Bree this is your bunny rabbit for the-" In a split second, Bree sped out of the house and to the store. Leo groaned.

"Why do things like this always have to happen to me?" he asked himself as he started to lift the rabbit from out of his arms...


Hours later

"Mom please don't make carrot cake for dessert tonight" Leo cried as he stood beside his mom, who was mixing some cake batter together in the kitchen.

"And why not?" his mother replied, "I love carrot cake."

"You do, but nobody else does. It's disgusting."

"It's not disgusting. And I'm sure everyone else in the house likes carrot cake too."

"Mom no one likes it!"

"Chase" Tasha shouted into the living room, "Don't you like carrot cake?" Chase, who was sitting down on the couch reading a book nodded in response, "See your brother likes it."

"Ok he does because he's a health nut, but I know for a fact no one else does."

"Donald likes carrot cake. He gets two slices of it every time I make it."

"He only eats it because he doesn't want to make you feel bad about no one liking it." Tasha took her eyes off of the cake batter and looked at her son.

"What?!"

"It's true. Big D hates carrot cake. He even told me last time we had it that if you make it one more time he'll go insane." Tasha harshly put down the spoon in her hands and took off her apron.

"Why didn't he tell me he hates it?!" She then starts to walk up the staircase, "Donald, why didn't you tell me you hated carrot cake?! I've been making it for years now and you never said anything about it! What else do you not like, my lasagna?!" She goes upstairs. Leo cheers to himself.

"Yes" he cries, "Am I good or what? No more carrot cake forever!" He then follows his mother upstairs, "Hey mom, do you wanna know what Big D said about your casserole last week?" A few minutes later, the front door opened and in came Adam.

"I'm back from the store!" Adam shouted as he came walking in from the front door. He slammed the door behind him.

"Ugh not so loud Adam!" Chase exclaimed as he started to look up from the book he was reading, "Nobody cares that-AH!" Chase jumped as he looked up at his brother. "What are you wearing?" Adam looked down at himself.

"What?" he replied, "I just got a shirt with a bunny on it. I thought it would make Cuddles think that I'm a rabbit too, so I bought it along with some bunny toys." Adam pulls some toys out of his pocket. "Here catch." Adam tossed a plush bunny toy over to the couch next to Chase. Chase in response felt his heart rate increase and quickly stood up off the couch. He then looked away from the toy and his brother.

"Quit it Adam!"

"Relax Chase it's not a real rabbit. I would never throw an animal." Adam starts to walk towards the couch. Chase quickly walked towards the kitchen.

"Just go change out of that shirt" the younger bionic replied, "You look ridiculous."

"Oh and you don't?" Chase rolled his eyes. "Here I got you a shirt just like it." Adam pulls out a shirt with a rabbit on it from the grocery bag in his hands, "Here put it on." He starts to walk towards his brother.

"No I don't want to" Chase exclaimed as he backed himself up into the elevator, "Maybe some other time."

"But-" Chase quickly pushed the button to head down to the lab and the elevator closed, leaving Adam all alone in the kitchen.

Once Chase got down to the lab, he walked in to see Bree sitting at the desk doing her homework. There was no sign of Cuddles anywhere.

"Hey Bree" Chase started walking over to her, "Where's your bunny from school- AH!" Chase glanced down at the desk to see Cuddles sitting next to Bree's binder, quietly watching her write while nibbling on a carrot.

"Oh hey Chase" Bree replied grabbing the rabbit from off of the desk and placing it in her lap, "What's up?"

"Uh Uh Uh n-n-nothing" Chase stuttered out, walking back towards the elevator, "I-I j-just.." Bree stood up from her chair.

"You ready to get your chance to hold Cuddles?" she starting walking towards her brother.

"N-no I just…..I'll be upstairs." Chase started to run towards the elevator when he stops. Walking out of the elevator is Adam who is still holding Chase's shirt in his hands.

"There you are" Adam replied, "Come here and let me put your shirt on for you."

"NO!" Chase exclaimed backing up from his brother, "I don't want to put it on!"

"But it will help Cuddles feel more comfortable if you put it on."

"Chase Cuddles wants you to hold him" Bree called out walking towards her brother from the other direction. Chase now surrounded by his brother and sister started to breathe heavily. He backs up into the edge of the wall as he gets cornered by his siblings. He slides down onto the floor and looks up at his siblings. There was nowhere to run to. He was surrounded. Chase tuned out all of the things his siblings were saying to him. All he was focused on was the rabbit Bree had in her hands. He couldn't take his eyes off of it. He felt his throat start to tighten and his body start to shake. Black dots scattered around his eyes as he fell into unconsciousness. Adam and Bree looked at each other with concern.

"Uh is he ok?" Adam asked. Bree handed Adam Cuddles as she knelt down next to her brother. She gently shook her brother's shoulders.

"Chase?" she softly spoke. No response came from her brother. She then looked back up at her older brother. "Uh, I think we should get Mr. Davenport."


Tasha, Adam, Bree and Leo waited patiently in the living room waiting on news from Mr. Davenport about Chase. It had been about twenty minutes since Bree had told her father about what had happened. Bree had Cuddles in her lap and was gently stroking his fur.

"What exactly happened again?" Leo asked his siblings.

"We don't know" Bree answered, "Adam was just giving him his rabbit shirt and I was trying to hand Cuddles to him and the next thing we knew he had passed out."

"He seemed fine earlier" Tasha added, "I don't know what could be wrong." The elevator beeped and walking into the living room was Mr. Davenport. Everyone stood up from the couch.

"Is he ok?" Bree asked.

"Well" Davenport started, "He woke up about ten minutes ago. He's physically fine." Everyone sighed in relief.

"Good" Tasha replied.

"Why do you only say physically fine?" Leo questioned. Mr. Davenport took a deep breath. His voice then turned more serious than it had before.

"Guys" he said, "When I was talking to Chase downstairs he told me something that we don't know…..he has leporiphobia." Tasha gasped as did Bree. Bree covered her mouth with her hands. Adam and Leo stared blankly at their dad.

"What's leporiphobia?" Leo asked.

"It means he's afraid of rabbits Leo." Leo and Adam looked at each other for a second and then started to laugh.

"Haha good one Big D" Leo cried, "That's hilarious." Mr. Davenport in response just glared at them. The boys stopped laughing and their smiling faces disappeared. "Wait you're serious?" Davenport nodded.

"Oh" Adam responded. The family all then looked down at Cuddles who was still in Bree's arms and started to think to themselves the same question, 'How in the world is Chase leporiphobic?'

Sorry if the ending was bad to this chapter; it was kind of hard to end. So...what'd you think? I don't have a fear of bunnies, but I do fear elevators and it's a pretty scary thing to go through sometimes. Hopefully the update for this won't take too long. Please R&R and catch you next chapter!
