Chapter 3- What're Friends for?
"Where's my phone…? I could've swore I had it right here… I need to take better care of my stuff." I had made it home, while a bit too close for comfort, my house was a bit sturdier than I thought. Probably because of all those other tornadoes that hit.
So, here I am hopping on one foot, trying to look for my phone. I can be such a messy person, my room's a clutter. Never less, I finally found my phone, for some reason in a cabinet above my sink. This new app, allowing you to scan a body part and a, while low quality, X-Ray scan to see your bones.
It wasn't broken, just extremely bruised. Oh why do I overreact so much? Must be a bunny thing, so emotional we are.
I looked at the time on my phone, it was already 3:00, and all this crap decided to happen. Now I'm gonna be late, better get hurrying to the fields.
As I quickly hopped by (as quickly as I could with one hurt foot), and made it to the fields, and then I finally awoke to realization. God dammit, the tornado messed up the entire field, this is just perfect.
"I need $20, shoot…" I muttered as I sprinted back to my house for an extra amount of money. Let's hope they wouldn't notice, or else I am as good as dead.
_40 Minutes_
Ok, just came back to the store, got my bucket full of blueberries, this is the best I can do, but they may see through my plan. Let's hope they don't need a new fur rug anytime soon.
I quickly checked to see if any other animal was paying attention before turning the corner. I entered a dark alley way, you would probably expect what happened next.
I had gotten a text a few minutes ago from my pal:
"Rednose: Oi! Deafears, the guys aren't very happy with you being late, get over here fast!"
"Onion: Got it Rednose…On my way."
"Rednose: See ya buddy…"
"Logan's Bar" was what it said in giant bold letters. I could see the guys were not happy at all with me as they were looking down, hands clenched into fists. I needed to hurry in there.
"Hey guys… How you doin'?" they just looked at me, faces with big serious frowns. I recoiled a bit, but immediately came in and dropped the basket on the table.
Immediately, the Rhino and the Elephant started eating the blueberries, clearly savoring every last bite. They asked for this nearly every day, it was clear they had an addiction, not very good to have an addiction to blueberries, it's not good for the heart.
"Hey… What kinda joke is this…?" the Rhino asked, he knew about what I did and he wasn't happy at all. The elephant scrunched his face up with disgust. The blueberries at the corner store aren't as high qualities as blueberries grown in my home town.
"Uh… Well you see..." I started, but then the rhino stood up and grabbed me by the collar, hoisting me up off the ground. I struggled a bit to break free of his grip but his hand was firmly gripped around my neck.
"Look here buddy, we asked you for quality blueberries…" he explained "And then you give us this, this is unacceptable…" he lifted his fist, with me trying to break loose of his grip with no avail. Dammit, his punches hurt a ton as well…
"Oi, what ya think your doin' to Deaf-ears?" a lion behind the bar was cleaning Champaign glasses when he ordered them to.
"Good ol' Red-nose, how are ya?" I joking asked him. The Rhino had put me down, and was beginning to walk over to my friend. "This clown gave us low quality blueberries, that wasn't what we asked for!" The Rhino protested. Logan just shrugged, clearly not caring that much.
"I'm sure he's got a good explanation for that." I turned to me, realizing what he meant, I started to explain.
"You see, there was a tornado in Bunnyburrow earlier today. All the crops were destroyed." I told them, still stuttering a little.
"See, explanation right there. Not my problem anymore." Logan had always had a stoic attitude to everything. He really did care, but he for some reason didn't show it as much now as he used to. I wonder what happened to him.
"Good ol' Red-nose really telling them!" I hopped over to the bar, whispering in this ear what I wanted to order. "A quick coffee, on the spot."
"You got it Deaf-ears." He replied. Taking a coffee mug from the stack by the counter, one of them was about to fall.
"Logie, one's gonna fall." He was confused for a sec until he realized and dived down, saving the mug from crashing to the floor.
"Nice catch Onion, I can't afford to lose another mug." He smirked as he made the coffee, fast as ever was he, taking less than a few seconds to prepare it.
"Nice quick cup of coffee Onioned." He called, he always called the type of coffee I ordered Onioned. I didn't hate it but I didn't really prefer it.
"This one tastes as good as ever Red-nose, new recipe?" I wondered. He looked over and shrugged. "Meh, not really, I just added a bit more caffeine than usual." I sipped it once again. I could see, well taste, what he was saying.
As I sipped the coffee, something caught the corner of my eye. It was a poster in the far corner of the room. Not that it was very contrasted, but the contents caught my eye.
"What does that poster mean about Police-Induction Courses?" I asked Logan. His eyes followed my pointing finger to the poster at the end of the room.
"Good eye deaf-ears. May be deaf [for a bunny] but you are observant as ever." He complimented. I just shrugged a bit and nodded for him to continue.
"I heard the police academy was holding some 'try-out' session for upcoming officers." He explained. "I think it started in 2 weeks." A huge smile appeared on my face. He looked at me a bit confused, but then caught on to what I was thinking.
"Oh right, your dream was to become a police officer one day." He said, I nodded and took another sip of the coffee. I thought about the course and what may be on there. I then decided on something I needed to do.
I needed to train.
"Buddy, how would you like to be my personal coach?" I requested. He would obviously say yes, being a coach was his lifelong dream. He looked up to the side as if he were thinking. "I-I'll think about it..." He said as he looked down at me with a huge smirk on his face.
He nudged me in the shoulder. "I'll take that as a yes."
So… Now we are going to be starting with the main part, him becoming a cop. So far, I kinda wasted 3 chapters explaining the character and his life. Now, we finally get into the action. This is gonna be fun.
