Alicia led Bunny to her home, a little stronghold she'd had set up before the Shift in case of emergency. It was guarded against most anything nature could possibly throw at it, as well as gunfire and any explosives that could be fired at it. After the Shift, Alicia had moved into the bunker to keep away from the Far Gones.
"I'm surprised Sally hasn't been livin' here with you, she's yer daughter after all." Bunny said as Alicia led her through the bunker. Bunny still couldn't figure out why Alicia was dressed to look like Sally, and was finding it difficult to bring up.
"Oh she's always been a wild heart. I tried to get her to stay here, but she was dead set on going out to the town. Now that's she's got herself a girlfriend out there I don't thing she'll be coming to stay here any time soon." Alicia giggled.
"Yeah, Mina." Bunny said, a bit of venom in her voice as she said it. "I take it your not a fan of them being together huh?" Alicia said. "No, I'm not a fan of Sally leavin' me for the Far Gones." Bunny said angrily.
"Oh please, I think you and I both know that under normal circumstances, you wouldn't have given a flying fuck that Sally hadn't saved you. She'd have tried to apologize for it and you'd have told her there was nothing she could've done. No, that's not why your mad." Alicia stated.
Bunny glared, "And what makes ya think ya know so much about me huh?" She questioned. "Well, I watched you and Sally for quite awhile before the Shift, saw how you acted around my daughter. I'm not exactly blind, though Sally might as well be for how obvious you were."
"And what exactly is that supposed to mean?" Bunny questioned. "I mean you did everything but hold up a neon sign that said 'Fuck me!' in glowing lights and Sally still couldn't figure it out." Alicia chuckled, "Guess she was too distracted."
"Listen hon, let's get one thing clear. I do not have feelin's fer little miss priss." Bunny stated. "I know. You don't just have feelings for her. Your head over heels in love with her and have no idea what to do now that someone else has her." Alicia stated back.
"Ya know I've got a whole army of Far Gones that could level yer fancy little fortress if I snap my fingers right?" Bunnytthreatened. Alicia shrugged, "sorry, I figured you were strong enough to handle the truth. Guess not. Don't worry, you'll get there."
"Are ya calling me weak?" Bunny clenched her fists, as though about to attack. "Pretty much yeah." Alicia said, side stepping Bunny's punch, which left the rabbit with her hand wedged into the wall.
"Need a little help there?" Alicia asked. "No!" Bunny hissed, trying to pull her hand free to no avail. "Are you sure? You don't see to be having much luck there." Alicia said. "I'm a damn Far Gone leader!" Bunny growled. "A Far Gone leaderwith her hand stuck in a wall." AAlicia pointed out.
Bunny tried and failed to free her hand for about twenty minutes before giving up, at which point Alicia pressed a button that caused the wall to open up, freeing Bunny.
Bunny rubbed her wrist. "What? No 'thank you'? I know times are different these days, but that's no reason to let your manners go to hell to." Alicia scolded. Bunny rolled her eyes. "Yeah, thanks."
"Your welcome. Now, let's talk about you being in love with my daughter." Alicia said. "I'd like it if we didn't." Bunny said. "And I'd like it if my husband hadn't vanished like all the other men. We don't always get what we want." Alicia said.
Bunny sat down, refusing to talk. "If you won't talk, I have ways of making you." Alicia said menacingly, walking closeto her. "Was that a threat?" Bunny questioned.
Alicia smirked, leaning in to whisper into Bunny's ear. "Maybe it's a threat, maybe it's an invitation~" she said, nipping at Bunny's ear.
Bunny flushed, suddenly realizing why Alicia had chosen to dress exactly like Sally did. "I'm not fallin' for this." Bunny stated. "Fall for what? I'm not doing anything." Alicia said innocently.
"Yeah right. I was born at night but it wasn't last night honey." "I'm afraid I don't know what you mean." Alicia said. "Oh come on! Your dressed up in a freakin' Sally outfit! Your tryin' to get me all hot n' bothered so I'll spill my guts!"
"Oh, so my dressing like Sally is something that would turn you on?" Alicia questioned with a grin. Bunny paused, then face-palmed. Alicia smiled, "Well, your in the corner now. May as well fess up. I might reward you if you do~" Alicia teased.
Bunny sighed. "Okay, okay, I...I fell in love with Sally a few days after I met her. She was just so...perfect. Smart, beautiful, funny, strong, and sexy as all hell. How could I not fall for her? But I couldn't exactly tell her then. Different times back then. Not to mention she might as well have been dating Sonic at the time."
"I thought I'd be able to after the war with Robotnik ended, but I was so terrified she'd reject me. After the Shift, I figured it would be the best time. It was the Shift anyway so the the hell ya know? But before I could, the Far Gones carried me off."
"And now she's got a girlfriend and your Far Gone with a grudge." Alicia finished. Bunny sighed again, "Ah hell, I'm not even a Far Gone. Had to convince them they'd broken me to gain their trust."
"Well, you've got their trust. And shockingly little else to go with it." Alicia said. Bunny nodded, tears starting to sting her eyes. "A-all I ever thought about while they had me was Sally. What she was doin', if she was lookin' for me, if she was scared for me. And now I come to find out she's spent the whole time fucking with Mina, not sparin' a damn thought for me!"
Alicia rubbed Bunny's back. "That's not true. After you went off, Sally came to me for help finding you. She searches. I searched. But none of us could find you. She thought you were dead. Spent two days in the bunker crying her eyes out."
Bunny looked at Alicia, shocked. "R-really? She...she cared that much?" Bunny questioned. Alicia nodded, "I was worried about her, afraid she was gonna sacrifice herself to the Far Gones out of grief. I managed to keep her sane, helped her mourn you, helped her move on. I guess in a way, that makes it my fault that Sally got together with Mina. I'm sorry Bunny."
Bunny shook her head. "You were just doing yer job." Bunny said. Alicia nodded, "I'm still sorry. I can't help you with Sally and Mina, but there is one thing I can give you to help you deal with this." Alicia said.
"What's that?" Bunny asked. Alicia ssmiled, walking over to a closet, reaching inside, and pulling out a collar. She put it around her neck, straightened out her jacket to draw attention to her Sally outfit, and walked back over to Bunny. "A new toy~"
Bunny's Far Gone pack hadn't heard from her for two weeks after she entered Alicia's bunker. They were starting to get antsy, and were about to instigate an all out attack on the bunker, and then received a letter from Bunny giving her resignation from the pack.
