DAMMIT! IT HAPPENED AGAIN!
If you just read a piece of writing lacking in punctuation, BLAME THE WEBSITE. I can't tell you how many times it's done this to me now.
It's more than ironic when Wendy smiles and holds the rabbit out to him. He wonders if Gary put her up to this- a follow-up 'ha-ha' to last year's fiasco with the pink bunny suit at Halloween. And what's more- its name is Peter. Sir Peter, to be precise. It's all a little too ironic to be coincidental.
But Wendy is just a little too sweet and a little too genuine to be doing this out of spite or for laughs. She's a little blonde angel with sugar smiles and tinkling-bell giggles, and hardly seems like the type to gain pleasure from the discomfort of others.
But then, some people (The ones that didn't know better) might say the same thing about Gary.
"He's cute," Petey says, rubbing Peter behind the ears. Wendy smiles.
"Isn't he? He's troublesome, though; He's always running away, and… Some of the other girls enjoy chasing him."
The tiniest note of discomfort entered her voice, and Petey has a sneaking suspicion that Diana is one of those girls. Had she been about three or four years older and a foot taller, she could pass as Gary's twin.
"If you ever see him running around, please bring him back to me. Those Bullies don't seem like they'd be so kind to him." Petey smiles.
"I will." Because it's true. And not just the Bullies; the Jocks will probably do something cruel as well, if given the opportunity. Petey shudders to think, in particular, about what Russell might do if he found the bunny. Not intentionally kill it, surely, but…
Russell. Bunny. Not a good mix.
Wendy is stroking Peter's fur idly now, and there's a distinctly distant look in her eyes. "She gets sick when she's alone…" She mumbles more to herself than Petey.
"Huh? I thought you said Peter was a boy." Wendy starts, thinks for a moment, then shakes her head a bit as though to clear it.
"Oh yes, yes he is! I was just… Talking to myself."
You might not quite get that line of Wendy's unless you've played Rule of Rose. In one chapter, you stand near her and prompt her to talk, and eventually she says this. Supposedly, it's a reference to how Wendy is without Jennifer (I can't really explain it without taking up another few pages, really…)
