Babs Bunny was bouncing up and down on her bed in an animated (no pun intended) and energized matter. She had good reason to be so excited because, not only did she have two weeks off of school, but also she would be able to enjoy this vacation with her house all to herself.
Due to a distant aunt that had come down with the flu, Babs' mother had traveled to New York City with her little sisters to care for the far-away relative and to introduce her siblings to the performing arts and music of Broadway. Her father had taken this opportunity to take her little brothers (or "soon-to-be-men" as he referred to them) camping at a mountain cabin that a business associate of his was willing to rent out.
With much pleading from Babs and a long conversation between the two parents, it was decided that she could handle the responsibility of being home alone for two weeks with (of course) a list of emergency phone numbers with everything from cell phone numbers to 911 and another list of all things that were prohibited in her parents absence.
Babs continued to bounce, partly as a way to release her pent up joy and partly as the most effective way to help her painted nails dry.
She glanced down at Buster as he sat perfectly still and stared straight ahead at her laptop as Mars Attacks! played on the screen.
(If only they knew what they were missing on channel 7 at this exact moment.)
She stopped bouncing and flopped down on the bed on her stomach.
"What do you think?" Babs asked as she stuck her hand right in Buster's face.
Buster jumped a little as Babs' hand came like a bolt from the blue that struck and incinerated his train of thought. He blinked a few times and focused his eyes on her new purple fingernails with a thin pink squiggle going down the center.
He faintly recalled Babs explaining that she couldn't decide between pink polish or purple but it seemed the dilemma had been solved by a compromise.
"Nice," Buster stated simplify and fell back into his daze. He was looking right at the computer but Babs highly doubted that he was even watching the movie
Babs let her hand fall dejectedly onto the bed. She was hoping to get more of a response out of him then that. She stared at the empty instant carrot soup packages on her bedroom floor and wondered what could possibly have such a firm grip on her best friend's mind.
Little did she know just how chaotic Buster's mind currently was.
Buster felt like his brain had transformed into something like a beehive. Thoughts and questions buzzed like bees.
'How was Calamity able to keep her secret for so long?' 'Do all the teachers know she is a girl or do only Wile E. and Roadrunner know?' 'What do Calamity and Little Beeper do when they aren't chasing each other or doing school work?'
Dozens of thoughts like these took flew around his mind as if they had little wings and minds of there own. Without any answers or responses to these questions and thoughts to satisfied them like honey would for an actual hive, they just continued to fly and multiply and buzz, buzz, buzz, until…
"Hey Buster!" Babs shouted right into Buster's long ear.
'Pop'
Buster shook his head and wondered for a moment if it were possible to hear your own mental bubble pop.
"Yeah," he responded to Babs very casually.
Babs could only crinkle her nose at Buster's attitude as she spoke, "What's wrong with you tonight?"
Buster shrugged like he had no idea what she could possibly be referring to.
The thought suddenly entered his head that maybe if he let some of the thoughts in this head out through his mouth and let them fly about the room that they might be able to find some relief.
"Calamity is a girl," he stated it as if it were the most well know fact he knew, "ya' know."
Silence filled the room for an instant.
"What?!" Babs exclaimed, "Are you kidding? Are you sure? Did he get a sex change or something?"
"I'm positive," he answered as the day's events flashed before his eyes.
Babs was quite again for a moment.
"Oh my God!" she exclaimed suddenly, "where is my cell phone? I have to call Fifi and Shirley."
She started to search franticly for her phone.
Buster felt his body go numb as the thoughts he had just released come back and stung him in the tail like genuine bees.
What if Calamity didn't her secret to be exposed to all the other toons in a single evening?
"Babs wait!" he caught her arm just has she got the phone in her hand, "you can't tell everyone one about this! Promise me that you won't spread this around!"
"What?!" she cried out.
How could anyone keep from telling such great gossip like this?
Babs' eyes narrowed as a devious idea entered her brain.
"Sure, Buster," she said happily, "I promise I won't callanyone about this."
Buster signed with relief, "Thanks."
Babs saluted Buster as if he were the commanding officer of her army platoon. The male rabbit smiled and saluted back at her out of respect.
"Don't mention it," Babs started pushing Buster toward the door, "Well, I guess its time for you to go home."
"But its only 9:46 p.m.!"
"Yeah…well you don't want to walk home in the dark," she pushed him out the door, slammed it shut, and locked it.
"Okay," Buster said a little torpidly as he dazed at the closed door.
It was getting a little dark outside so he figured he might as well start the walk home.
As for Babs, she kept their secret considerately, unquestioningly, respectfully, and dutifully… for about five minutes.
She grabbed her laptop off her bed, exited the movie program, and sent e-mails to Fifi and Shirley that said to sign into their chat room immediately.
A/N: Sorry to any Babs fans out there. I didn't mean to make her into a jerk, I just felt it's in her character to be reactionary.
