BonBon and A.J. both quickly grabbed a bit of food from the small kitchen of the hotel room and headed back to exit, but were stopped by Renesmee and Artie.
"Why are you two in such a hurry?" Artie asked.
BonBon quickly responded, "No reason!"
Renesmee folded her arms, "Something's up. What's going on?"
"It's nothing! Really!" A.J. said.
The two tried their best to keep a normal face and not stammer, worried they were going to get caught from the sudden confrontation. Artie folded his arms alongside Renesmee, both of them fed up with the two hiding whatever it was.
"Then why are you in such a hurry?" Artie raised an eyebrow.
"We just,- Um… We-" A.J. stuttered.
BonBon stepped in, "We were throwing rocks off the roof, seeing who could throw them farther. We want to finish the game to see who wins."
Artie lowly growled to himself.
Renesmee unfolded her arms and put them to her side. "Fine, go finish your game."
"Thanks!"
"Thank you!"
BonBon and A.J. took off back to the roof, bringing their food with them. Artie unfolded his arms and turned to face Renesmee,
"You actually believed that?"
"'Course I didn't, but they obviously weren't gonna tell us what they were hiding." Renesmee said it like it was obvious.
"What do you think they're hiding?"
She shrugged, "Maybe they're…Never mind."
"What? Maybe they're what?"
"I mean, they're going through puberty, they both just met another kid around their age, so…"
Artie shook his head, "No, you're delusional. I don't know about your kid, but my son ain't a queer."
"Talk to him about it. Maybe he'll surprise ya. And even if he is, what's it matter?"
"I don't want my kid to be degraded to-"
"Degraded? Dude, the entire world is a shithole. Nobody gives a fuck. Let him be who he wants to be." Renesmee paused for a moment, then spoke again. "Listen, I'm not trying to tell you how to parent, but things nowadays aren't like how they were years ago. You're not raising a kid in the normal world, you're raising a kid in an apocalypse. So I think you should drop the 'First world problems' bullshit and loosen up a bit." With that said, Renesmee left the room.
A.J. tugged BonBon back up to the roof of the hotel. "Thanks for making up that excuse, you saved our asses."
"You're welcome." BonBon said. "Now let's eat!"
"Charlie-"
"Fuck off."
"Will you just listen-"
"You know Effie, I've listened to you for twelve-fucking-years. If you would have just been a good "parent" then we wouldn't even be searching for my son right now! I'm tired of your pity-ass bullshit. So you can shut the fuck up or get out of this car right now. I'm not fucking around anymore."
The fox shut his mouth, knowing nothing good would come out of it if he spoke. Charlie moved her messy hair away from her eyes and continued driving down the road.
"How long do you think we're gonna have to hide this from our parents?" A.J. asked.
"I mean…We don't have to hide it at all. But do you think we should tell them? Or wait a little bit?"
A.J. bit his lip. "Maybe we should tell them. They're already suspicious and it'll only be worse if they find out without us telling them. But…"
"But what?" BonBon raised an eyebrow.
"What if they don't like it? What if they get mad or something and won't let us do it anymore?"
"Hmm…Maybe we should hide it for a bit, then tell them once everyone's gotten use to being a group?" BonBon suggested.
"Let's do that."
The two shared a quick kiss. They were starting to like it more than they originally did. It was still odd and new, but they liked it. But neither of them had officially said the words yet. Until now, when BonBon spoke up.
"I love you."
A.J. smiled. "I love you too."
The car drove into the nightly town, the headlights shining light upon the ominous yet peaceful ghost town. Charlie brushed her messy hair aside. She hadn't bothered to cut it, as it was the least of her priorities. Effie sat in the passenger seat, his hair also a bit in his face, though not as much as Charlie's.
Effie tapped his forehead with the top of his pistol, pointing it up at the ceiling at a slight angle due to the way he held it. He let out a sigh; he was tired, he was upset, but he was helpless.
"How much longer 'till we stop? We've been at this all day without a single fucking break." He complained.
"Quit your whining, we can stop here at this town for the night. Hopefully there's a place to stay that's not filled with goddamn Vicers. I'd kill to have a peaceful night for once."
Effie set the gun down. He smirked slightly with a naughty thought in his head. "How about when we find somewhere to stay, we have a bit of fun…?"
A bit of Charlie's gloomy atmosphere faded as she too got a dirty idea. "It has been awhile since we last fucked… I'll take you up on that offer, sweetheart."
"BonBon! A.J.! Get to bed!" Renesmee called from the bottom of the roof staircase.
BonBon and A.J. both pulled out of the leaning hug they were in while sitting on the roof and stood up, then headed for the stairs.
A.J. rubbed the back of his head. "D-Do…Do you think they'll let us share a room with each other…?"
"I don't know… What if we go to separate rooms…But then I come to your room when our parents fall asleep?" BonBon suggested.
A.J. smiled. "Sounds good."
With their plan set, the two sauntered down the stairs and to their hotel room. Renesmee had already picked a room and was trying to fall asleep. Artie was waiting for A.J. and BonBon to show up.
Artie pointed to two different doors in the hotel room, "There's two more bedrooms. BonBon, you pick one. Artie and I will take the other one."
A.J. and BonBon glanced each other, both of them filling with dread and sadness. BonBon couldn't sneak into A.J.'s room once their parents fell asleep because Artie would be there, and A.J. might get caught if he tried to leave his room. But nonetheless, BonBon pointed to the room furthest away from the others,
"That one."
Artie nodded and headed to the opposite room, A.J. reluctantly following behind him. BonBon glumly walked to his room and shut the door. He lied down on the bed in the dark room and shut his eyes, sighing as he tried to drift off to sleep.
Once Charlie and Effie made their way to one the bedrooms in the abandoned inn they had went to, Effie pinned Charlie to the bed. "We haven't done this in awhile…"
The two started taking off each others clothing, both kissing each other whenever they could.
"Let's do this…" Charlie purred in a seductive tone.
Just as BonBon thought he was going to fall asleep, he heard the door creak open. He rolled over to see A.J. entering the room, carefully shutting the door behind him.
BonBon's eyes lit up as he sat up from the bed, a smile across his face with glee to see A.J. "Hey…!" He kept his voice low.
A.J. hugged BonBon. From the sudden surprise, BonBon fell back onto the bed. The both of them lying there together in a hug felt like a dream. Their fur and bodies pressing against one another made them a little warm, which made everything feel even better.
BonBon placed his lips on A.J.'s as the two shared a passionate, lovely kiss. How could they have missed out on this their entire lives? It was too good to be true, it felt too amazing to describe. They were in love, and they couldn't help themselves.
Once they finished, they both shared a small laugh of joy.
"I love you so much…" BonBon whispered.
"I love you too…" A.J. replied.
As the two continued to snuggle with each other, they eventually fell asleep.
The two kids woke up to the sound of shouting from Renesmee and Artie. They both immediately got up and scrambled to go see what was happening, not even bothering to say good morning to each other.
Once they stepped out of the room, they saw a fox and chicken pointing guns at Renesmee and Artie. BonBon felt as if he knew the fox somehow, but not the chicken.
The two gun holders glanced at BonBon and A.J. Both of them immediately lowered their weapons in what seemed like disbelief. Though once the guns were down, Artie and Renesmee both took swings at the two.
BonBon and A.J. watched the event unfold as Renesmee and Artie kept the two intruders on the ground as best they could, giving it their best strength to win at the fight. After a minute or two, the fox and chicken lie on the floor with no more energy to do anything.
Once Artie and Renesmee held guns to their heads is when BonBon spoke up about the situation. "Wait. What happened?"
Renesmee growled, "These two dickweeds barged into here and started pointin' guns at us. Probably wanted to rob us, dumbass pricks."
"BonBon…!" The chicken said through her defeat.
The bunny drew his own pistol. "H-How do you know my name…?"
Renesmee kept her gun to the chicken's head, but let her speak. "I-It's a long story, b-but you just need to know-"
BonBon stepped closer, aiming his pistol at the chicken. "Tell me how you know my fucking name."
"BonBon let me explain-"
"TELL ME HOW YOU KNOW MY FUCKING NAME!" He exclaimed, a large amount of animosity in his voice.
"LISTEN!"
Gunshot.
