Author's Note: Sorry for the LONG wait. I was going through a lot this past week and a half. Anyway, here you go!
Chapter 2
Victoria and Eric walked down the hallway holding hands. Victoria felt like an idiot. She was so caught up in everything with Aiden and her engagement; she didn't realize Halloween was in a week. Halloween was her favorite holiday. Every year, the whole gang would go pick out their costumes. Vivian and Gabriel would have their matching costumes, Christina and Finn, herself and Eric, the Four, and the Five. It was a tradition.
"So, babe, I hear there's this play coming up. And I was thinking…maybe it would be fun to try out. You know a little fun thing to do." Eric said trying to sound non-chalant.
"What play?" Victoria teased with a smirk.
"Romeo and Juliet."
"Hmmm… but what if I get the part and you don't? I'd be stuck kissing some goober. Or worse…you get it and I don't. Then you'll be kissing some tramp who thinks she's hot stuff."
"Come on, baby. We'll both get the parts for sure." He said giving her a peck. Victoria sighed.
"Fine…I suppose we could."
"Yes!"
Victoria smiled and walked to class.
Later that day after school, Eric and Victoria met in the auditorium for the play auditions. Victoria sat nervously, while Eric held her hand to help her calm down.
"You'll do fine, hun." Eric reassured her. She nodded and smiled, taking a deep breath.
"Next up is Victoria Gandillon and Eric…something." The drama teacher announced.
The two of them took the stage with a script.
"You may begin." Ms. Crinkle said with a smile of hope. Victoria took a deep breath.
"Romeo…Romeo! Where for art thou Romeo…"
Meanwhile…
"So…is she the one?" Willem asked Finn.
"I'm positive. She's beautiful, smart, and graceful. I mean just look at her." Finn replied perplexed.
"Lucky ass." Ulf said pissed and jealous.
"Oh…you guys will find one just like her in five minutes."
"Please…it took you years to find one like her."
"True…just look at how she hops around. Bet she tastes good too." Finn said.
"Will you just kill it already." Gregory persisted. "I'm in the mood for some raw meat."
The Four were all huddled in the woods behind a bush. They scoped out all the bunnies trying to find one to eat.
"You know…" Finn said pondering. "I wonder what it would be like to be a bunny." He continued smiling.
"A bunny?"
"Yeah…it would be cool. Hopping around, eatin' carrots, big floppy ears. Sounds like the good life."
"Until we come along." Ulf chuckled. Finn glared at Ulf.
"I'm taking Shirley home with me. I won't let you hurt her."
"Oh no! You named her?" Willem whined. Finn picked up Shirley.
"Yes. Come on Shirley. Lets go home."
Finn walked through the door, while holding Shirley in his hands. Vivian, Gabriel, and Christina all gave him a look when he walked in.
"What in god's name are you holding?" Christina asked.
"A bunny." Finn said rubbing his cheek against her soft, white fur.
"What'd you name her?" Vivian asked.
"Shirley."
"Finn!" Christina said smacking her forehead. "We're not keeping her."
"Come on! Please!"
"No. You'll play with her, but you'll leave me to clean up the poop and to feed the thing."
Finn gasped, obviously offended.
"I'll take care of her."
"Just like the puppy?" Christina said.
"That was different!" Finn said upset. "She was a real bitch. She acted like she owned the place."
Christina rolled her eyes.
"You get a week. If I see you're responsible…I'll let you keep her. But if I end up doing everything…say bye bye Shirley."
"I love you! You're truly the greatest wife in the world." He said giving her a smooch. "And Gabriel said all women were bossy and controlling."
Finn ran out of the room excited. Vivian turned to Gabriel with a stern expression.
"Bossy and controlling huh?"
"Not you baby." Gabriel said desperately. Before Vivian could put out another word, Finn ran back in.
"And I know what I want to be for Halloween." He shouted.
"What?" Christina asked.
"A…bunny!"
They all stood there in silence. Until Vivian finally said something.
"A bunny?"
"Yeah…I've always wondered what it would be like to be a bunny. And now is my chance."
"But I wanted to be a princess and you were going to be my prince." Christina whined.
"You could be a bunny princess." Finn suggested. And I don't think he was kidding.
"Well if you're a bunny, I have to be a wolf." Gabriel said with a smirk.
"But baby…I thought we were going to be Romeo and Juliet."
"That's so played out." Gabriel said.
"Great! When everyone gets back its off to the store we go!" Fiinn said skipping out of the room. Vivian and Christina stood there with their arms crossed, and pissed. It seemed like Gabriel and Finn were always together doing something. Its like they were married and not them. Vivian and Christina were going to have to do something about this.
