Honey-You've finally gotten another chapter, Zshizshi-sama?

Aw, yes! I just love this one! She's so polite and sweet!

Bonni-She is pretty nice. What's your story?

Honey-O.O Would you all like some melon pan?

Everyone-Yes!

Honey-Okay! (runs to the kitchen, happy they all forgot)

P.S. Melon pan is actually a Japanese bun filled with sweet filling like syrup, strawberry jam, sometimes, even chocolate! It's quite tasty.

Bad Dreams or Bad memories?

"Choto, where are you?" Honey asked on the phone. It was late outside, about 12:00. She was dressed in her nightgown and had a slim figure.

"I'm still at work, Hon. I promise I'll be back soon." She knew he was lying again. She wondered who he was with now.

"You won't be late to our anniversary tomorrow will you?" She asked a little upset that he kept lying to her. The first time she found out, she confronted him. Then they broke up…but then she crawled back to him, being as she knew of no one else who could help her. It was then that he kept on lying to her, he kept on ignoring her, and sometimes he wouldn't even come home. It was a sad relationship, she knew everything…

"I won't I promise…I've got a nice present for you." She smiled. Even though he was a brute, a scoundrel, and an irresponsible jerk, he always got her the best presents. One day, when she stopped talking to him, he got her some roses and a diamond collar. This time, though, she had an even better present.

"I've got one for you too." Honey heard him chuckle on the other line. She liked it when he was excited to be with her. It was a rare moment too. She rubbed her stomach. Then there was a rustle on the other line and he spoke up again.

"Hon, I gotta go. I'll see you in a bit." He hung up.

Honey's eyes opened up and she stretched, yawning. In her mouth were a set of shiny white fangs. She looked around her new apartment. That dream was actually a memory of what happened in her first month. She later learned that her boyfriend didn't want to have a baby by listening in on his conversation with his friend…she left before they could even celebrate their anniversary together… Honey sighed, why was life so hard? She didn't want to abort her child, Honey was so excited to be a mother. Well, it was time for her to start standing on her own two paws. Her alarm clock began to play the radio.

Somebody told me once that pain is a game we all gota play.
Then why am I in over time & sudden death every other day
I know that for the good of life there's a price we all gota pay
But I'll pay till I'm poor and I still dont know
what it is to have a good day!

Honey tied her apron around her bulging stomach and did her hair up in a ponytail and tied the bow around her neck. The music boomed in her ears. She liked this song, it gave her the much needed confidence.

Since everybody knows what it is that I need to do
well do me a favor
let me worry about me, and you worry about you!

I dont need no one to put me down
I'm on the ground, cant get no lower
And I don't need no one to hang around
And make me frown, just makes me look older
And I don't need no one to black my eye and tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over
And nobody else
I can do bad all by Myself!

She turned off the radio and went downstairs. There was store she owned on the bottom floor that she had bought from Lumpy for...two pennies and a lollipop...he was really stupid. She warmed up the ovens and scrubbed every dish she had before washing the tables. She owned a little shop called Ichigo-sakuranbo Kyandi. It was a Japanese dessert shop since she was such a good cook. She flipped the sgin to open and sat behind the counter, reading her baby magazine and waiting for her customers.

"Choto, Honey-san!" Honey looked up to come face to face with Vivi and some beautiful bunny with a white baby raccoon in her arms. "I didn't know you had a bakery!"

"Yeah, I do. What can I get you two?"

"Before that, this is my best friend/ sister, Bonni." Bonni bowed to her. "And her little baby boy, Akira."

"Oh, how old is he?"

"He just turned five months old. He has his father's face, doesn't he?" Vivi rolled her eyes.

"Akira is a raccoon! Of course he does, all he has is your fur color and your blue eyes." Vivi laughed. "I'll have a...chocolate manjyu with strawberry dip and a super sized Daifuku/ cherry." Vivi recited. "And a decaf mocha tea."

"Okay, and you, Bonni-san?"

"I'll have two small Daifuku/ strawberry with diet green tea and a mini-pudding for little Akira." He looked up at the sound of his name and laughed.

"Oh my lord, he has his father's laugh!" Vivi whined. Honey's hand worked faster then what they usually saw. In ten minutes flat, she had their food on trays and a little spoon for Akira. "Arrigoto! Itadekimasu!" Vivi cheered while Bonni said it quietly. "So, where's the father of your baby? Splendid is so good to me, he went out to buy all the baby books he could find."

"Oh, Lifty went to school, so I have to provide...but he's so sweet! Whenever I need him to watch little Akira, he doesn't even complain. No yelling about diapers, or baby food, or bills." Bonni babbled, glancing at her nails. They had french manicures. Honey stared at them in awe. They were so beautiful. Now that she looked at Bonni, she was beautiful as well and so was Vivi. Their hair was shiny and full of volume and wavy. Their teeth were sparklin white and their fur were beautifully white. Little Akira had sparkling blue eyes and his mother's gorgeous white fur. He would grow up to be just as good looking at his mother. "Hello? Can I have more tea?" Bonni did look familiar.

"Oh, I'm sorry! You just look so familiar."

"It's because I'm a singer. I've sold over a million platinum CDs." She laughed proudly. Vivi shook her head.

"Excuse her, she's a vain energizer bunny." That earned her a slap in the back of the head. "We're both singers, actually. We've both sold over a million platinums in the whole world and we've done a few songs together."

"Wow, so you're pretty muc stable."

"Yeah, but it's always work, work work. And looking perfect." Bonni groaned. "Mommy sometimes doesn't come home to her wittle Aki-poo." Bonni rubbed her nose with his and he giggled. "Well, Vi, I gotta run." She said, getting up. "Get that to go, huh?" Bonni commanded it so firmly, Honey jolted and nodded, getting one of her plastic red oriental cups. "Akira has a doctor's appointment, then baby arobics, I have to get a mani and pedi, you know the deal."

"Sure thing, I'll pay for you this time, but you owes."

"Drinks Saturday?"

"Deal." Bonni took her cup and left, carrying her baby on her hip.

"...She's got it made." Honey said.

"We all do. And pretty soon, you will too." Vivi said, smiling. "Why, Happy Tree Town is pretty good when it comes to money. Everyone has a bundle lying somewhere. Everyone except Shifty. Lifty is his twin, ya see, and when he married Bonni, he went to back to school. Shifty tried to muscle in on his income, but Lifty finally stood up and told him that he couldn't ruin his new life." Vivi said. "But before, it was him and Shifty robbing everyone. How my smart, lovely best friend fell in love with a thief, I do not know, but at least he's switched around." She said.

"I wish I had found a guy like that. The father of my baby was a scumbag..." Vivi looked at her, worried. Honey shut her trap, she said too much.

"You can tell me, you know."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"My story is too sad to tell..."

"So is mine. I'm half anamatronic." Honey looked at her, shocked.

"What?"

"Yup, I was a milatary project, i didn't even know. Then I went on a mission to track down Flippy, Flaky, and Splendid...I fell in love with Splendid, we got out of it, and got married two years later."

"How romantic...Well, if you promise not to tell."

"I'm as silent as the grave."

"...I met this guy a few years back. I woke up one day, not knowing what or who I was...all I knew was that my name was Honey...I was eighteen years old...and I am Japanese. I walked around, hoping to find something I could remember or some food...then this guy comes up to me and asks if I'm lost...then he took me to dinner...and then told me that he knew it was sudden, but he loved me...I was so happy, I could start over...I moved in with him and then I found out that he was cheating..."

"Oh my..."

"Yes...I was so hurt, I told him good bye and left...but I had no place to go...I was alone...I went back to him and he begged for me to stay...I forgave him and then found out that he was cheating...I figured he would stop on his own time and ignored it, but it got to be too much. He wouldn't come home for hours, days, weeks, sometimes months...I would cry every night he didn't call. He would just turn off his phone or hang up...I was rally heartbroken because...I loved him so much."

"What a douchebag!"

"And then, eight months ago, I found out I was pregnant with a beautiful baby girl...I was relieved, he would obviously stay with me and be good to me if he knew I was having his baby...but then...I overheard him saying that he would ask to me to go through abortion or adoption then become a father...I was shattered...so I realized that I didn't matter and he didn't either...my baby is the only thin I have left now...I left him...I have moved from place to place for nine months straight and then came here..." Honey looked out the window. "So quiet...so nice...it's the purr-fect place to raise a baby, don't you think?"

I can't tell her that a majority of people DIE here everyday and then come back...Vivi thought, her eye twitching.

Let's show her!

Be quiet, Vicious!

"Vivi-san?" Honey spoke through her thoughts.

"Sorry...that's just sad, you plan on raising your baby without her father?"

"Yes...well...maybe I'll find someone that's as good as Splendid or Lifty, if I'm lucky."

"Well, you are gorgeous, I'm sure you can." They giggled and Vivi finished up her food. "My lord, this was awesome! Honey, I'm gonna recommend you to all my friends! This should be a tourist attraction!"

"Oh no, then it would be way to busy. I like it being quiet..."

"Claustrophobic?"

"Yes."

"Me too...Well, you will meet a lot of people at the party."

"What?" Honey looked at her. Vivi handed her an invitation with a lovely cursive. It was for a baby shower.

"It's our baby shower. I scanned you before when we first met. I knew it was a girl. Think of it as your...welcome to Happy Tree Town party! I'll be around to pick you up around...six-ish?" She looked at Honey, her cat eye raised.

"Um...six it is, then..."

"Good, dress casual. Bye, Honey-san!" She left, leaving the money she owed.

Things...they might be interesting...

Honey-You two are beautiful.

Vivi-Yes, with our soft and bouncy ha-air! (waves hair around like a movie star)

goodness, you girls are vain!

Bonni-don't hate on our soft and bouncy ha-air! (flips her hair)

Honey-Grrr...(undos her bow and lets her long brown hair cascade down her back before tilting her hips and smirking) Business up front, party in the back!

Everyone-0o0

Honey-Hmph, shows you. (ties bow and goes into the kitchen.

Bonni and Vivi got schooled!

Shanni-Where was I in this?
