"Wow Judy, you really marked you territory didnt you?" Nick and Judy were panting and Judy said
"I claimed that carrot" Nick cringed at the responce and said
"Stop, thats just to far" They both laughed and then heard rain start to pour
"Well, that was like a storm in a bottle let loose" Nick got up stumbling a little as he was sore, and got his cloths on
"Is dinner soon for you guys or what?" Nick saw Judy scowl at him and said
"Nick we take hours to make dinner, and we usually eat at like eight, its seven o clock on the money" Judy pointed to her clock then Nick sighed and said
"Lets do something fun then, i want to see how you guys entertain yourselves" Judy and Nick got dressed then went out, and forgot about Stu
"Judy, did you tell hi-" Stu sniffed the air and smiled
"Ok, i didnt like Nick at first, but i can tell you do" Stu left the room as Nick entered adn saw Judy yelling at her father
"Whats up?" Nick saw Judy turn to him then grab his hand and walk to the bathroom
"What are we doing?" Nick saw Judy undressing and she said
"My dad smelled you from my room" Judy turned the water on and pointed to the shower Nick got undressed an got in, Judy started scrubbing him
"EASY CARROTS" Nick felt Judy scrubbing harder then softer when he said this
"Sorry Nick, its just i claimed you, and no one is going to try that, especially if i have my smell on you" Nick grabbed a scrub and began as well
"Well lets weaken it a bit ok" Nick and Judy scrubbed for about and hour then came out smelling like roses
"Well i'd say theat was a pleseant experience for the two of us" Judy walked out clothed and then Nick came out being sure not to touch his body he had scrubbed a little to hard and it gave him some fur burn
"I dont know, i cant really walk well" Judy came over and hugged Nick who groaned then Judy said
"Just push through big guy, or do i need to kiss it and make it better?" Judy kissed his cheek and they walked to the dinner hall, where dinner was now being served
"Nick, Judy you two have been gone all evening, sit eat with eve-" The lights went out and Stu said
"I'll turn the generator on, i'll be back" Nick walked up to Stu and said
"Let me handle it, i think i can do it, just point me in the proper direction" Stu smiled and was loving Nick even more now
"Well, its over by the barn, we have a breaker box with a large red lever in it, pull it down and the back up power will turn on, we can go two days without it, but after that the house gets freezing cold" STu handed Nick a windbreaker and they opened the door, they saw a crack of lightning and then a tree fell, right next to the barn
"HOLY SHIT" Stu said then Nick ran to the barn and Stu yelled for him to come back and to do it in the morning, but Nick was determined to turn the power on, not just from Stu, Bonnie, and Judy but for their family
"Ok, red lever down" Nick said as he searched for the breaker board, he found it and pulled the lever down, and as it hit the bottom another crack of lightning struck and the doors moved inward
"Oh no" Nick ran to them and pushed, the doors were barricaded from the other side, by a tree, and all the trees there were at least thirty feet tall and six feet wide
"NO, NO, NO, COME ONE" Nick rammed the door with his shoulder until it hurt
"DAMNIT, IM STUCK UNTIL THE RAIN GOES" Nick walked around and surprisingly found a switch, he flipped it and a light lit the barn
"Well, at least i have light, and im warm, i can use something here as a bed
At the house Stu ran in to get Bonnie and Judy
"CALL 911 NICK IS STUCK IN THE BARN" Judy and Bonnie ran to the door and looked out, the rain was so heavy you couldnt see anything, then lighting cracked and they saw the barn, it had a tree blocking the door and it was big
"NICK!" Judy yelled his name but no response came, then she heard her father say
"Judy he had electricty and food, plus the barn gets hot at night, so he's fine, he might not like carrots but its the only way he'll survive, and he has light" They looked back and saw the barn door had light flooding out
"Well there ya go, now we just wait" Bonnie and Stu walked back to the kids and flipped the lights back on
Back in the barn Nick is taking inventory
"Ok, so two crates of carrots, light, and warmth, i can eat four carrots every day to sustain me for a week, for each meal, they have water so im good with that...I CAN TEXT THEM" Nick brought his phone out and started to go onto the texting app, but when he texted Judy his data and his wifi werent working, i wonder why
"Damn, oh well, lets look around" Nick looked around the barn for someplace to sleep, he climbed up a ladder, then got up into a bunch of hay bales, the rain had relaxed his fur burn, so he had minimal comfort for a while
"Hmm, what the hell?" Nick heard something down below, and he looked down, he saw two female rabbits chasing each other
"HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Nick jumped down and the two rabbits stopped
"Hey Nick, were just waiting for the storm to pass, we got woken up by some lightning, so we decided to play until the storm is gone" Nick sighed then said
"Guys, the doors are barricaded, were stuck, and we only have two crates of carrots, we need four for minimal nutrients and all that, but i only calcuated that we can have a week with one person, but with three, we have maybe four days" The two rabbits were young and Nick guessed they were sixteen at least, but they were stuck so that explained why they were playing
"So what do you guys want to do?" Nick saw the two bunnys smile and one said
"Lets play tag" Nick shook his head and said
"Im to old for that, oh yea, what are your names?" The bunnys thought for a second, and one said
"Im Tessa, and he's Barbie" Nick shook their hands then went back up the ladder to recalculate the carrot proportions
"Ok, so three each, last us five days, so we get nine a day and every two point six hours repeating we get to eat one, damn im smart, i hated school but i sure payed attention to math" Nick decided to go through Furbook and look at some photos he hadnt seen yet, that would help him until he fell asleep
"Well better get some shut eye" Nick went to sleep after spreading some hay out and using his windbreaker as a pillow, he woke up the next morning to thunder and more rain
"Huh, what the?" Nick saw two rabbits sleeping next to each other on a bale of hay, he smile and rubbed their bellys to wake them up
"Huh? Oh hey Nick *Yawn*" Both woke up and Nick asked them if they were hungry
"Not really, me and Barbs eat every couple of hours, so we can wait until lunch or later" Nick was relieved they werent heavy eaters, like Stu looked like
"Well, lets pass some time, what do you guys want to do?" Barbie smiled then went down the ladder and came back up with a small bag
"Dad keeps this in here to play games with some weasel, and its a bunch of them" They emptied the contents and there were two sets of cards, and two board games
"Ok, well, you guys know how to play war?" They shook their heads and Nick explained the rules, then they played
In the house with Judy and Bonnie
"Mom, Nick is out there, and how do you know there is food out there? Or it stays warm?" Bonnie smiled and put her hand on her daghters shoulder
"Because Stu always plays games out there with that weasel, so he has "snacks" and he insulated the walls just in case it gets cold, or they play when it snows" Judy felt relieved then said
"Hopefully he can make some imageniairy friends or somthing" As Judy said this a young bunny came in and started yelling
"MOM BARBIE AND TESSA ARE STILL IN THE BARN, THEY WERE SLEEPING TO GET AWAY FROM US" Bonnie swooned a little then Judy helped her to a table
"Honey, there is only so much food there and they dont really know each other, what if Nick trys to e-" Judy scowled at her mother and said
"Mom, its the twenty first century, Nick has worked with me for seven months and hasent even tried to bite me, so no hes not going to eat them" Bonnie smiled and said
"Im sorry, its just im worried, but i know he'll do the right thing" Judy and her talked then Stu came in and said
"Hey we got a way we think that might work, we can dig a tun-" Bonnie looked at Stu then frowned at him
"Just an idea" Judy laughed then left the room and went to hers staring out the window
"Stay safe you brave, smart fox"
In the barn
"HOW DID YOU WIN?!" Nick laughed as he beat Barbie and Tessa at the game over and over then at the same time
"Luck, and smarts, just know how to play" Nick was beating them forty to six, and he loved playing, and the bunnys loved it as well
"Hey, how old are you guys, you look really young, but dont act like it" Barbie spoke first
"Oh im seventeen, and Tessa's twenty" Nicks jaw dropped and he cleared his throat
"Wow, you guys look really good for that, i thought you were sixteen at least, but wow" They thanked Nick and moved to a new game, it was passing the time by very quickly, it was already four
"Ok, so this is chess, or checkers, which one do you wanna play?" Nick held the board up and they both said
"Checkers, it sounds fun" Nick set the board up, and he told them the rules
"Ok, so you go first" Nick saw the bunny move a corner piece, he copied the first two moves then attacked
*Tick* *Tick* *Tick*
"Hey, what? That wasnt fair, was it?" Nick laughed then explained how it worked again
"So i had a space in between each one of my guys, and you also did, so i used one of mine to take three, while you only get one, see?" Nick showed them and after a long while, it was seven
In the house
"Mom, do we have anymore tooth paste?" Judy saw her mother talking to a few of her younger siblings, so she went up and asked
"Do we have any tooth paste?" Bonnie pointed to a closet that thye kept usual things they needed to refill on normally
"Thanks mom" Judy opened the closet and boxs upon boxs of things she never knew they had
"Diapers? vacuum bags? spare trash bins? TOOTH PASTE" Judy saw the box and opened it, there was maybe one hundred tubes in it
"How do we afford all this?" Judy took one out and went to brush her teeth
"Hey Judy, um i have some bad news" Stu brought Judy to the living room and told Bonnie as well
"So, i just got a news report, even with this weather, the storm will be here for another three days, and roads are blocked until next tuesday, so your gonna be forced to stay for a week, and we also have to get Nick out" Judys face felt cold, then she said
"Dad, we need to help Nick, they cant eat carrots for three days, they need water" Judy walked to the door with a bag and a windbreaker
"Judy, we have buckets it the farm, they can drink rain water, its filtered i think, or something" Judy looked at the barn, then back at her father
"Ok, Nick is smart, i know they'll make it" They were having a good time in the house, but the barn was surprisingly doing much better
"I win again, come on guys, win something" Nick reset the pieces and heard Tessas stomach rumble
"I'll go get you a carrot, you want one Barbie?" She nodded and Nick brought back three, they all ate them and got thirsty after a while
"Hey, do we have any water, or something?" Nick looked around the barn for a while, he couldnt find any
"OK, i use to be a pack scout, so lets see, i need a stick another stick, some rocks, and a bucket i boil with"They gathered the items, and Nick started a fire, after making a small contraption, then made a hole, that had a cover on it and a small space for the smoke to go into, he then got some rain water from two dripping spots, and gathered it with a metal bucket, then started to boil it
"Wow, this is working great, now we wait two minutes, with a lid on top then we got clean water" They laid a rock on top of the bucket and after a few minutes they put the fire out with another bucket then took the water off and let i cool
"Ok, now we have water, lets drink some when its cool" They waited a few minutes and played a game of war then went over to the water and it was cool now
"Um, how do we drink it? We cant a just drink from it, the water would get dirty" Nick thought for a few seconds then snapped his fingers
"Here, do we have any cloth in here?" They nodded and got the cloth from the board game holder, then Nick set it in and told one of them to open their mouths, he squeezed the cloth and the water went into their mouth
"Wow, thats good, here rip it up into three pieces" Nick ripped it up and handed them each a small piece of cloth they drank like that effiecently then got done and had half of the bucket left
"Ok, so im tired and worn out from all this creativeity, so lets go to sleep" Nick went up to the top after putting the things away and storing the water
"Night Nick, night Barbie" They all said goodnight and slowly fell asleep, Nick fell asleep first thinking of Judy
At the house
"Mom, i thought i saw smoke in the barn, do you think their ok?" Bonnie nodded as she was changing one of the babys
"Judy if there was a fire, Nick would have broken the wall to get them out, or something, hes smart, and their definnitly going to make it
"Ok, im just so worried, i keep thinking i see him come out, but its not him, or something" Bonnie looked at Judy and said
"What? you think you see someone coming form the barn?" Judy felt cold again then nodded
"STU SOME HERE" Stu ran in asking what was wrong
"Judy describe what you saw to your father" Judy said she saw a fox looking figure coming in and out from the barn, but only at the night hours
"Ok, so Judy have you seen the news lately?" Judy shook her head since she was either to busy or just didnt pay attention to the media
"So there is a fox in Bunny Burrows who has been taking kids and putting them up for sale in downtown, but only comes at night, now are you sure you saw him?" Judy nodded now feeling worried for her family
"Stu call the police" Stu nodded and Bonnie remembered they didnt have any service with the storm
"Then Stu get your gun, and get eveyone in one room, we can have the oldest watch an we can witch out until the storm pass's" They all agreed and got everyone in counting twwo hundred and seventy three bunnys
"Ok, Judy your up, then i'll come and switch" Judy walked over to a door and closed it locking the side they were on, there were two doors and they had six bunnys watching them each, and three at the least
