Chapter 4
Running through the thick forest, Rachel called for the white rabbit. She had lost him again; damn he..err..it was fast for a little thing. By the position of the sun, it was already almost evening. Rachel slowed her pace and walked exhaustedly for the remainder of the way. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her apron. She swore, the first thing she was going to do when she got back to the Moonbase was burn this dress. Although, she had to admit, it did keep her cool during the intense forest heat. For some reason, the apron had small pockets aswell. She pondered what she could even hold in such tiny pockets.
A sweet smelling breeze brushed past Rachel's cheeks. It playfully danced with her hair, caressing and blowing it about. She felt as if it was pulling her toward something, like the white rabbit or her way home.
She wandered further until she was among a large garden. Pillaring above her were lovely flowers, which stared at her as she walked. At the right, sat a red rose and next to the rose was a bright daisy. Among those two were tiger lilies, daffodils, carnations, and tulips. Rachel wished she was bigger. She could pick the flowers and give them to…
Rachel jumped at the sight of a long, black hairy object front of her. It looked like someone's unibrow had fallen off their face. The object rustled then mewed. A curious Rachel stepped cautiously toward it as the object emitted another mew. The head of a cat uncurled from the black object and mewed again.
"A…a..CATipillar?", Rachel laughed.
"Of course, silly!"
Rachel whirled around, but nobody was there.
"Who said that?"
"Up her-OW!"
Rachel looked up at the daisy, then to the rose beside it.
"No way. No..way…"
"HIIIIIIIIIIYYAA-OW! Fanny!"
The rose elbowed the daisy with it's thorns.
"Shut up! You know we're not supposed to talk to it!"
"But, Fanny!"
"Kuki, the pout won't work..oh..drat…it..erm..oh fine! Talk to your little…thing!"
The rose folded it's leaves as if it they were it's arms and turned away. The daisy knelt down to Rachel.
"Sorry, Fanny gets cranky when she doesn't get enough sunlight."
"I do not!"
"Yes you dooooo!"
"No, I don't!"
The next five minutes were spent with Fanny and Kuki going back and forth about Fanny's crankiness. Rachel sighed and yelled.
"RAINBOW MONKIES!"
"WHERE!?", Fanny and Kuki said in unison.
Rachel looked up at them silently.
"Oh, you're such a liar!", Fanny scoffed and blushed, now embarrassed at her guilty pleasure of the stuffed toys.
Slapping her forehead, Rachel sighed and stared up at the two female florals.
"Have you two seen a white rabbit come by here?"
"Yeah, he came bumbling through here an hour ago. He was murmering about being late for a party.", Fanny blinked.
"A party?"
"Kuki tried picking him up and cuddling him, but all she managed to do was scare the fur off of him."
"Oh no, the fur fell off!? Where is it?!", Kuki said, looking around.
Fanny and Rachel sighed in annoyance at the same time. Kuki looked around for the missing fur. Fanny glanced at Rachel.
"So, what kind of flower are you?"
"What? Oh, I'm not a flower! You know me, Fanny! It's me, Rachel!"
"I don't recall knowing a Rachel flower, do you Kuki?"
"Nopers!"
Fanny lifted Rachel's dress slightly with her leaf to see her legs.
"Ha! For a flower, you sure have scrawny stems!"
"Yeah! And your petals look silly, too!", Kuki chimed in.
Kuki knelt and sniffed Rachel, then pulled away quickly.
"She smells like cheese!"
"I had nachos for lunch. --; "
"Oh no, Fanny! What if she's a weed?"
"I'm not a weed!"
"Well, you can't expect her to admit it!", a random Morning Glory flower chimed in.
Fanny glared as the once silent flowers began to converse loudly.
"Hey! All of you, shut it!"
The tiger lilies awoke, growling at Rachel.
"Oh no! Down kitties!", Kuki hushed.
It was no use. The wild lilies growled and attempted to attack Rachel. Rachel stumbled back and fell over. Thinking quickly, she grabbed a blade of grass and a twig. Using the grass as a whip, she cracked it in front of the beastly flowers and flailed the stick.
The tiger lilies halted, their petals flattening. Rachel cracked the grass whip again.
The lilies mewed and shyed away. Rachel dropped her tools and took this as her chance to escape. The rose turned to the daisy.
"She's headed toward…"
"Yeah, I know. Poor thing! Hope she makes it!"
