Bugs Bunny was reading a book in his living room when his room mate, Daffy Duck, entered the room carrying the calender. "Bugs, i have a question." Daffy said, looking at the calender.
"What is it Daffy?" Bugs asked with a sigh, putting down his book.
"So i've noticed there's a red circle around a week of the month every two months." Daffy began, not seeing his friend tense.
"What about it?" Bugs asked, keeping the calm and bored look on his face.
"What are they circled for?" Daffy asked. Bugs's green eyes looked into Daffy's brown ones.
"They're dates I've picked out for the next trip I decide to send you, Porky, and Speedy on. You three are usually free and stressed around those times, so I send you guys on trips to help you take a break and relieve some stress. Sometimes I'll even get the others on some trips around then." Bugs explained with a half truth. He would never tell Daffy or the others his other motives for sending themn on bi-monthly trips.
Daffy looked at the rabbit in surprise before smiling. "That's sweet of you Bugs." Daffy hugged the rabbit. "But why don't you ever come with?"
"Because I usually have dead lines for some of my work around then too. Takes care of getting you guys time to relax, while at the same time giving me some peace and quiet to get my work done with out any interruptions." Bugs smirked at the offended look on his closest friend's face.
But it soon turned into a haughty smile. "Alright. You're no fun when you're busy anyways." The duck looked back down to the calendar. "It's a few days away. Where you sending us?" Daffy asked excitedly.
Bugs rolled his eyes. "You and Porky had both been talking about taking a cruise to Florida. So that's yours. Speedy though, has a family reunion down in Mexico, which is where I'm sending him." Bugs replied, just as excited about where his friends were going to go. If he was getting rid of them for seven days, he figured it should be somewhere they'd like and hopefully not return too early.
Daffy nodded. "This is great Bugs!" Daffy started rambling about dolphins and gators, making Bugs roll his eyes.
"Just don't get eaten by the gators Daffy." Bugs paused before sending his friend a smirk. "Although, I did hear gators love duck platters." He joked, laughing at the horrified look on the duck's face before he started laughing aswell.
"Very funny. Nice joke." Daffy said, leaving the living room, calendar on the coffee table. Bugs looked at the paper. More specifically the red. "You are just joking, right?" Daffy asked, head popping back into the living room. Bugs had been prepared though, and already had a look on his face that spoke volumes about his thoughts on the duck's question. "Right. Just a joke. I'm going to call Porky!" Daffy shouted and ran up the stairs in excitement.
Bugs shook his head fondly at his closest friend's behaviour, before he saw the red circle once more. With a sigh of fruatration at himself, he stood up, roughly grabbing the calendar and went to his own room. He was rather tired.

It was a few days later that Bugs waved his three friends off as they all sailed away. After making arrangements, so none of his other friends would bother him for the next week, Bugs finally made it home. With a tired sigh, Bugs decided to go take a nap.
It was several hours later that he woke up to the burning in his throat and the hammers in his head. With a groan he turned over, coughing painlfully into his hands. Looking through blurry eye sight, he could see small splotches of blood. He gave a painful groan before once more turning over, knowing with dread that his own personal week of hell had finally started.
His last thoughts on whether he'd have night terrors this week, or insomnia. Becuase surely, he wouldn't have to keep the sharp things away. Right?
