Reason why the chapter was reposted-I made a slight error, but it's fixed now, so...don't worry 'bout it.

(At the Writer's Office)

Flippy-(left his butterfinger snackers at his desk while he went to get some water)

Splendont-(looks into his cubicle before reaching over to snag some) Mmmm...Butterfingers...

Evil-(jumps out and slams him into the cubicle wall before stappling his fur to the wall) Oh, no you don't!

Splendont-What the-

Evil-Nobody's gonna lay a FINGER on my Butterfingers!

A Day With Bonni

"Hey, you okay?" Bonni asked as she sat at the counter. Lifty had Akira for the day, so she decided to stop by Honey's for breakfast. Honey had been incredibly quiet, even for her. The brown she-cat looked up at her.

"Nande?"

"Are you alright? You seem distracted." Bonni said.

"How so?"

"Well, you just poured a bunch of salt into my diet green tea." Honey blinked and looked at the salt container in her paw and gasped.

"Ah, I'm such an airhead. Let me get you another."

"So...what's up? You act as if you can't keep your thoughts in your head."

"Argh...it's Splendont-san...He. Won't. Leave. Me. Alone." Honey groaned. "He's been around me the entire time he's been here."

"You didn't hire him, you could just fire him...or have him removed...then again, if he's as strong as Splendid, I doubt it." Bonni said, nibbling on the daifuku she was served.

"I mean, it's as if he's everywhere. He sleeps on my couch, everywhere I go, he has to go too, he won't let me do anything, he gets in fights with Lifty and Disco Bear, he's rude to customers...he's as infuriating as before we broke up...and he still calls me his girl...I'm at my wits end." Honey whined, sitting on the chair on the other side of the counter.

"So, super boy troubles? Ahh, that is a problem..." Bonni seemed to think. She swirled her blonde hair around her finger after having it cut into a bob that ended a little above her chin. She had her bangs swept over to the left side of her face. "I've got an idea, how about we go out for the rest of the day, just you and me?" Honey jolted.

"Ehh?" Honey jolted and looked at the popstar. "B-but my shop, I have to work since Lifty is out sick and if I hadn't sent Splendont to go shopping to restock my kitchen, I would've went shopping for kryptonut." Bonni blinked. "He told me awhile ago when he was drunk."

"Well, you're nine months pregnant and you haven't had a day off since you got here. So, we are going, whether or not you want to doesn't matter." Bonni got up. "So, first up, the spa."

"So, this is what a spa looks like inside." Bonni did a double take when she heard her friend say that.

"You've never been to a spa before?" Honey shook her head. She didn't have a ponytail on today, just a headband with a pink bow. It felt nice to wear her hair down. "I can't live without the spa, it's my favorite place in the world. I once held up a concert because my usual nail artist didn't make it on time...and I never go on stage with chipped nails." The spa had pearly white tiles with red carpet. There were nail tables up first, then massage tables, then seaweed wraps. And then, in the back, there was mudbaths and steam rooms...perfect. And then hairstylists and places for facials...it was like Bonni was born in this place, it was so perfect.

"Ooh, so...why are we here."

"Duh, nails...then a mudbath...then seaweed wrap." Bonni strutted up to the front. She looked at the receptionist. "Hey, Flaky." Flaky popped up from under the desk and smiled.

"EH!?" Does everyone work everywhere?!

"Oh, hi, Bonni. Hi, Honey, what's up?" She asked quietly.

"I'm here for my Tuesday usual, for me and Honey-chan."

"Okay, do you want Monee?"

"Yup, do I ever ask for anyone else? And someone good for Honey too, please."

"Alright..." She picked up the phone. "Monee, Ms. Bonni is here with her friend, Honey. Can you get Chani for her...? O-okay...she'll be ready in five minutes."

"Five! I have a busy schedule, you know. I could just get someone else."

"...She says she's ready now." Bonni smiled. "You can be so scary sometimes, Bonni."

"I know. Thanks, Flaky-chi." The way Bonni strutted down the walkway made Honey remember how different their lives were. She stuck close and sat at the nail station next to hers. A yellow poodle with large golden hoop earrings and dark sunglasses sat in front of Bonni while another poodle (white) with two blue bows sat in front of Honey. "Hello, Monee...Chani."

"Hello, Ms. Bonni, the usual french manicure today?"

"Hmmm...no, I'm feeling a little spontaneous today...what do you suggest?"

"Razzle dazzle orange?"

"Not in the mood."

"Crazy chamomile."

"Nope, too plain."

"Bubblegum pink with golden star gold?" She blinked in confusion.

"Do I look like Elkton John to you?" (Darn me and my puns) Bonni sneered.

"Just go with electric blue with white star sparkle tips." Monee nodded and began to file her nails. "So, Honey, what did you choose?"

"Errr...just a french manicure...nothing fancy."

"Really? Next to Monee, Chani is one of the best manicurists in town. You could ask for anything."

"No, I am a very simple girl." Honey said.

"So, how are you holding up? Is Splendont totally unbearable?" Bonni asked, not minding the tugging and scrapping on her nails, which were diamond hard anyway. Honey nodded, "why?"

"You know why! He cheats on me, he's totally controlling, and unreliable. Did I tell you that he couldn't even hold a job for the first few months of our relationship? I had to be a telemarketer until he finally got a job."

"What's he do?"

"He was a fitness trainer." Honey said. "He's just..." Honey sighed. "I always wanted a baby...ever since I could remember and I always thought Splendont loved me...no matter what...but then he said he would ask me to go through an abortion...and I realized he didn't really love me...and how can you stay with someone who hurts you so horribly?" Bonni was quiet for a moment before speaking.

"Did Vivi or Shanni ever tell you about our first time here?" Honey shook her head. "We were dispatched on a military mission, one we didn't even know completely. The moment Splendont laid eyes on Vivi, he was hooked. She has that quality, it's weird. He and Vivi did everything together, always on dates, acting like lovestruck teenagers. Splendid was happier than he had ever been and Vivi was the same way. But, that was our Boss' plan, to get close and lure him into a false sense of security...then BAM!"

"Ms. Bonni!" Monee snapped, having messed up.

"Sorry, Monee. Anyway, so she did, though she felt so horrible, and he was heartbroken. More broken than anyone I've ever seen. It nearly cost him his life." So, Vivi betrayed Splendid? To the point of almost getting him killed? Splendont had never put her life in that much danger. He was always protecting her, warning her against the dangers of the world. He would hold her tight during thunderstorms or other severe weather sequences.

"I would never let you get hurt." He said one time when she had a horrible nightmare. That nightmare...

(Flashback)

She was surrounded by warm, bubbly liquid. It wasn't a pleasant warmth...it was a burning sensation on her skin like alcohol on a capping wound. The liquid filled her with a choking sensation, but she couldn't do anything about it. It was like she could barely breathe, like she was congested. She opened her heavy eyes and peered through. The liquid was blackish green, but she could still see...slightly. She reached out and felt a slippery, smooth surface.

Glass...Honey didn't know how she knew, but she knew it was glass. She shifted and peered through. Figures floated in multiple giant tubes around her, perfect and peaceful, unlike her. She pounded on the glass, mumbling with her underdeveloped vocal chords. Get me out!

Get me out! She tried to yell. Wake up and get me outta here!

"Project no. 1265-H has woken up! It's not her activation time yet!" She heard someone yell. There was a series of stampeding footsteps. Suddenly, Honey felt an ever harsher feeling. Like she was being rocked throughout her body and she let out mumbled screams, pain coursing through her body. It felt like a thousand pound block of cement was being pushed onto her body, crushing her bones. Finally, she began to pass out. "Project no. 1265-H has been subdued, Ma'am."

"Good, can't have you damaging those lovely vocals, now can we?" Honey slowly slipped from the conscious world.

Honey always woke up, screaming and hyperventilating. Splendont would wake up, grumbling about why she was acting crazy. He would hold her and stroke her back, whispering that everything was alright. "The point is, Honey-chan, if you really love someone, no matter what, you'll forgive them."

"But...I'm so...scared...what if I have the baby and he really is a horrible father? He could scar her for life and-"

"But, Honey, I have seen the way he looks at you. Same way as Shifty and Disco Bear do; totally loves and wants you." Bonni said.

"...So, what are you saying?"

"He is Splendid's counterpart, he's gotta have some good in him somewhere." Bonni said. "One date, maybe he really has changed." Honey sighed, thinking it over.

"Are you serious!?" Splendont was so surprised, he jumped into the air for a few moments before landing. Honey nodded. "Y-you'll go to lunch with me?" Honey nodded.

"Yes, I thought it might be nice. You know, to discuss the baby."

"That's great! Umm...ummm...I-I'll make reservations." He shot up the stairway before she could say anything.

(Napping on the ground while clutching a Butterfingers)

Shanni-...Onii-chan won't mind me taking a bite...(reaches over)

(high kicks her in the stomach before doing a roundhouse kick and sending her through the roof) Ha! (turns to the camera) Nobody's gonna lay a finger on my Butterfingers!
