I love the movie 'Rise of the Guardians,' it's easily one of my favorites. If you haven't seen it GO! GO NOW!
Now those who have seen it and are not one of the people who has suddenly launched themselves from their chair and sprinted to the nearest cinema (a car might've been quicker, but they were caught in the moment.)
We all know Bunny is a completely accurate portrayal of Australians. We all say 'crikey' and call each other dingos and brumbies. I said 'Rack off you bloody show pony' 7 times today, sometimes without another person even being in the same room.
This is a silly scene that popped into my mind when thinking about when Bunny said he was a "Master of Tai Chi,'" and I thought what the heck.
Enjoy!
"Again, Bunny?"
"G'day, Tooth."
Tooth sighed.
"What're you up to?"
"Tai chi."
Tooth turned her head to one side and squinted; as if that could help her understand the position Bunny was in.
"Do you…need some help?"
"No! I mean…ugh…no thanks, Tooth."
Tooth turned her head the other way. She inhaled to speak.
"It's supposed to look like this!" Bunny burst out.
She raised her eyebrows and shared a look with one of the many fairies who travelled with her.
"It's the…stretching goanna."
"Bunny."
"My leg is supposed to be like that…"
"Bunny."
"…wrapped around my throat…"
"Bunny."
"…it's quite relaxing, you should try it."
Tooth swept down to Bunny's side for a moment then flitted back into the air, holding aloft her prize.
"You know why I am here Bunny."
Bunny glared at her from beneath an ankle.
"We've talked about this."
Tooth sighed and handed Bunny's tooth to one of her fairies, who immediately zipped off.
"You can't do Tai ch-"
"I AM A MASTER OF TAI CHI!"
"You're really not," Tooth hovered lower, smiling amusedly at the sight of the Easter Bunny tied in knots.
Bunny glared at her.
"This is the second tooth, Bunny. I don't even…do rabbits grow back their teeth? Do spirits of Easter and hope regrow their teeth?"
"We can live in hope," Bunny suddenly smiled, one eye squeezed shut by a rogue elbow.
Tooth sighed, but whilst she was smiling.
"Do you need a hand, Bunny?"
"I…well…yes. But only a little."
Tooth scrutinised the knot of limbs and fur. She reached for one of Bunny's massive feet as her fairies grabbed tufts of fur.
"Hey, cool it, I, ow!" Bunny grumbled as the fairies wound their hands into his fur for a good grip.
"Okay ladies, on three. One, two, three!"
With squeaks of exertions from the fairies, muffled expletives from Bunny and laughter from Tooth, Bunny came untangled with what he later swore was the sound of crunching ligaments. He unwrapped so suddenly all of the fairies when tumbling into the grass of the warren.
"Crikey," he groaned in pain, rolling his shoulders and wriggling an ankle, "you're worse than dentists you are."
"You're welcome," Tooth giggled.
Bunny coughed.
"Thanks."
"But really Bunny, you're lucky it was a second maxillary incisor again. Imagine what it would do for your image if you lost a first maxillary incisor?"
"Image? Image? I don't care about my 'image'?" Bunny yelped and abruptly stopped smoothing down the tufts of hair the fairies had almost pulled out.
Tooth remembered the first time Bunny had lost a tooth in spirit form. The panic he'd experienced! And he hadn't even been able to race to the Tooth Palace, as he'd been tied in worse knots then he was today.
"Okay, but maybe you should consider getting a mouth guard or something."
Tooth suddenly looked at Bunny with a cheeky expression, "I could tell North…"
"Don't you dare!"
"He could give you one for Christmas!"
"NO!"
