A/N: We're now in Redemption Pt.2 in case anyone is wondering.

Since Techie's going to be mentioning some of the events here in WPBA, I guess I should keep this moving along, eh?

No pressure. Lol.

Part 7

"What is it Charlie?" Lenny stepped out of the lab she was currently investigating.

She heard Madison through the radio too, "You okay?"

"I'm trapped with about three hundred amnesia bunnies on Level 24, does that answer your question?"

"Get out of there!" Lennon hissed as she moved somewhere between speed walking and jogging towards the elevator.

"I would, but one's guarding the button to open the door."

"Shoot it."

"If I fire, I won't have time to get out because they'll all attack and there goes my memory for good."

Lennon tapped her foot waiting for the elevator and wished the place had stairs she could fly down, "I'll be right there."

"Me too."

"Hurry it up… they have that look."

"I'm trying, but unfortunately Scotty is preoccupied and can't beam us over." She rushed in the empty elevator and impatiently hit the 24 button over and over again.

"I'm not in the mood for sarcasm, Lenny."

"That's nothing new."

"Give Charlie a break."

"As long as she doesn't agitate them, she's fine." Lennon hid her worry. One full-grown amnesia bunny could be bad enough, but if they all got angry…

"You don't know that."

"I've been on this job for-"

Madison cut her off, "I don't care! My first job we ran into an amnesia den. It wasn't pretty, and it was smaller!"

"We can handle this. We're all experienced with these, right Charlie?"

There was no answer, and both Madison and Lennon realized she hadn't said anything for a while.

"Charlie?"

"Dreck!"

"Hey, watch that mouth."

"Charlie, if you don't answer me, I'll throw you in the whoosh thing of an establishing wormhole… … Charlie!"

The doors slid open and Lennon was relieved when it was Madison stepping in instead of one of the staff, but it didn't last for long. "Shtup these radios, what good are they if we can't reach her!"

"There's nothing wrong with the radios." Madison defended, they were her work after all.

"There better be, because the other possibility…"

"She's fine, has to be."

"It was stupid going in there alone! Stupid! A meshugener zol men oyshraybn, un im araynshraybn!"

Madison cocked her head, "What does that mean?"

"She's crazy!"

"Some people would call it brave."

"Then they're all schmucks."

Finally reaching their destination, the elevator did that up-down thing that caused their stomachs to protest, and they moved out to the level.

"She didn't say what room she was in…"

"It's somewhere here." Lennon snipped to cover her alarm at Charlotte not answering her calls.

"Yeah, but-"

"Just look!"

They started looking in the closed doorways in calm silence until Madison motioned around to the air. "This is familiar."

"Yeah." The empty yet hazy sensation of the air was more than a little unsettling.

After finding the door and not knowing what was going to happen on the other side, they drew their zats and Madison hit the door control.

The absolute last thing they had imagined to walk in on was happening.

Charlotte Walker, leader of the team, known goon, was propped up against the wall with plot bunnies surrounding her, on her lap, shoulders, and even on her head.

All the bunnies were sleeping and she was petting them.

"Uh…" Lennon couldn't think of anything to say, a rarity.

Madison dropped to her side, carefully avoiding the bunnies, "Charlie?"

Charlotte scolded, "Shh! They're sleeping."

Lennon started getting her thought back, "That's obvious, but how, why… why are you covered in them and… how?"

"Let's just clean this up and get out of here." Charlotte carefully placed the sleeping bunnies covering on the floor with the help of Madison.

"There's no way to knock out a whole den like this without sleeping gas, and I know you don't have any of that on you." Lennon observed.

Charlotte moved the last bunny off her lap and stood up, "I soothed the savage beasts."

Madison replied amazed, "You didn't!"

Lennon's face contorted into an equally shocked expression, "You, of all people, sang?"

---Few minutes earlier---

Charlotte had to think fast, the amnesia bunnies were inching closer to her and the one on top of the crates looked about to pounce.

It was a desperate time. Very desperate. "I'm not in the mood for sarcasm, Lenny."

Her teammates continued squabbling and a little light bulb turned on over her head. She shut off her mic and cleared her throat.

"I feel pretty…"

She got louder and continued to sing, "Oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and bright."

The bunnies all cocked their heads.

"And I pity," She started swaying for effect, "any girl who isn't me tonight."

She realized that was about as far from the truth as one could get.

The plot bunnies all stopped advancing.

Charlotte sighed of relief, especially since she couldn't remember any of the other words and the little light bulb went dark.

But they started advancing towards her again.

She eyed the door control, but that same bunny was still there.

Inspired by keeping her memories, the light bulb flared up again, "I fell charming, oh so charming. It's alarming how charming I feel!" She twirled in a circle that if she had a skirt on, would've been rather pretty, "That I hardly can believe I'm real."

A few halted in their tracks, others kept hopping forward, almost thoughtfully.

She continued to sing her heart out, "See that pretty girl in the mirror there?" She pointed to the side while ignoring Lennon over the radio. The last thing she wanted was for them to hear her singing. She almost fell over from hysteric laughter when every single bunny looked at the wall where she was pointing.

"Who can that attractive girl beee?"

They all looked back at her.

"Such a pretty face, such pretty dress, such a pretty smile. Such a pretty meeee!" She lifted her arms over head and all the bunnies stood still.

She started rocking from side to side again, "I feel stunning…"

A pretty bizarre sight met her eyes.

All the plot bunnies were swaying in synch with her.
She almost fell over again, but thought it best to keep singing until back up arrived, "And entrancing. Feel like running and dancing for joy!"

A few passed out, and more followed. Charlotte could've kissed whoever was running the show up there.

"I feel pretty. Oh so pretty!" In mid twirl, the bunny from the crate jumped and landed on her shoulder. It didn't do anything but snuggle up to her, so not wanting to make it angry, she left it.

"That the city should give me its keeey! A committee should be organized to honor mee!"

She could've sworn the few bunnies that were still awake hummed "La, la, la, la…"

Lowering her voice, she stood still, "I feel dizzy…" She actually did so she sunk against the wall, "I feel sunny."

The remaining bunnies looking blissful crawled on her and nestled up to her, one even thought her bright red hair looked like a good place to sleep.

"I feel dizzy and funny and fine." Her singing voice faded to a whisper, "And so pretty, Miss America can just resign."

Charlotte looked around the room at the sleeping amnesia bunnies. The day had just gotten very unroutine.

---Back to the Present---

Charlotte finished relating the story to her teammates and tried to look as menacing and tough as possible.

But the shock wore off, and now Madison and Lennon were bracing themselves against each other, laughing.

"Can it, or you'll wake them!" Charlotte scolded tersely.

"That is just too rich… what are you, the Pied Piper of plot bunnies? That should've been taped."

"We could've shown it back at HQ."

"Charge admission! Five bucks a pop."

"Isn't that a little much?" Madison remarked as she clutched her middle since it started to hurt from laughing so hard.

"Are you kidding? To see a Buster C.O. singing that song of all songs to plot bunnies? Five bucks is a steal!"

Charlotte had enough, "Stop it! Unless you want to be reprimanded."

"Ooo we're shaking in our shoes." Lennon held her hands out to her side and fake-shook.

Charlotte smirked and deadpanned, "I'll hunt down a whump bunny, without its comfort bunny friend."

Lennon and Madison froze.

Charlotte pulled out a cigar and started chewing on the end, fully satisfied.

Lennon spoke nervously, "I'll lay some anti-bunny charges, and we can call this den cleared."

Charlotte shook her head, "They'd be too noisy, and we have to be covert about this."

Madison agreed, "We'd have to zat them anyway."

"But-"

"Start zatting, avoid the SEP generator." Charlotte pointed to the metal cylinder in the far left corner, "We still need it."

Lennon scowled and started following orders, feeling underappreciated after being cut-off. Even Madison did that to her earlier. It was like the world was about to collapse or something.

And to make things worse, she couldn't get the kiss with Rodney out of her mind, no matter how hard she tried.

She needed to get him alone again.

No, not for that reason, get your minds out of the gutter, people!

Movement attracter her eyes were attracted to her pack. Knowing that meant the amnesia bunny was awake, she looked over at her teammates. Both weren't looking to the door where she set it down, so she let one shot land on the pack. Lennon really didn't want to explain what she was doing carrying around a young plot bunny.

The unused maintenance bay was once again clear of everything, except for one odd looking piece of tech in the corner.

Lennon was instantly drawn to it. "This is so cool. I've never actually seen one of these things…" She traced her fingertips over the cold metal. It reached chest high on her.

"Spend some time in the Hitchhiker's Universe." Charlotte commented.

"No way, the laws of physics there are screwy. Actually, there are no laws of physics. Milliways alone breaks the String Theory."

"I like Milliways. Good food and drinks, and watching the Universe explode." Madison smiled at the memories, "Want to go there some time? Hey, maybe the next vacation we can all go have dinner!"

Lennon snorted, "I'll never step a foot in that Universe. Way too screwy."

"You're no fun." Madison pouted.

"You do seem to like that SEP generator…"

"Because it's here, and it is one of the technologies that might have a possibility of working in the real world."

"Alright Lenny… let's get out of here." Charlotte checked her watch, "Anyone up for a break?"

"It is getting late, we've been working for almost twelve hours."

"Let's go, Lenny."

"Go where? Besides, I want to check this out." She walked all around the field generator, looking for an access panel of some sort while avoiding stepping on the very spider-like feet.

"Level 17, camp out for a couple. The level's not used for much of anything." Charlotte headed to the door.

Lennon broke out of her trance around the fascinating piece of tech and spun around, "Camp out? We are not staying here the night! It was only going to be a day here!"

"Well, HQ underestimated the size of the place. We'll just take a couple hours rest so we stay alert."

Madison yawned, "We've been on our feet all day."

"You guys go, I'll stay here." Lennon waved them off.

"Not with the possibility of stray bunnies coming home, you know how you get when you're working." Charlotte waved to the door, "Now come on, geek. You can check that out before we leave tomorrow."

"Fine." She stormed over to her pack, swung it on and left with the rest of the team trailing after her. Now needing another way to get rid of them so she could see Rodney alone, she hit '19' in the elevator once they got close to it.

"What are you doing?" Charlotte narrowed her eyes.

"I don't like to leave a section unfinished." The doors opened and she waved behind her as she walked out, "I'll meet you up there."

"Lenny…"

"Twenty minutes, max." She could feel the scorn from her C.O. setting her shirt on fire from the elevator, but chose to ignore it. She had cleaning up of her own to do, and reminded herself not to get into a position that Rodney could kiss her again, even if it was really good.

Maybe one wouldn't hurt…

Lenny smacked her forehead as she heard a very distinctive voice wafting down the corridor, "No, no, no. That's not right at all! Do I have to do everything myself around here?"

She made a beeline for the source.

A/N: The 'I Feel Pretty' bit was inspired by Chapter 7 of Kings, Queens, and Corsets by Fiery Mango over on the LOTR page. Go read it, it's silly and hysterical and fabulous. I needed something for her to sing, and since Fiery Mango had locked that in my head, it ended up being the song.

Apologies for it now being stuck in your heads.

Not.

Muahaha!
