Planet Earth

Chapter Five: Do the Bunny Hop

Flowers blooming into the warm afternoon air, releasing their wonderful aroma and letting their pores soak in as much oxygen as possible while other plants uses the sun's rays, enriching their leaves and roots as well as adding minerals into the soft soil…animals of different kinds wake from their slumber, eager to eat the delicious fruits, vegetables, and other edible items that may lurk around them; even some of them lay out on the grass, letting the sun warm up their fur, feathers, skin or scales. Station Square's Preservation Park's Greenhouse is one of the larges areas to hold all types of non-lethal plant-life.

It is also known to be like a relaxation spa/area for all the animals to reside in—this greenhouse helps animals get back in touch with their wild instincts they've lost when they were out vulnerable and helpless; it also helps rejuvenate their fighting spirit and hopefully increase the numbers of endangered and threatened species that still lurks out there. The employees of this area is great assistance for these animals—they use this place to help predator and prey become more harmonized and peaceful towards each other rather than to kill and fight; as well as restore the energy the animals still are trying to regain.

Speaking of relaxation, a 4-year-old two-tailed fox cub was nuzzling into the soft green blades of grass, enjoying the fresh scent and the cool breeze that blew through his fur. He loved smelling so many different aromas and discovering new things along the way, but what made him so astonishing was the fact that he was able to toddle on his two legs; something that seems impossible for any normal animal to accomplish.

"Look at the little guy, he's such a free spirit," Jessica smiled, "I told you this would be a good experience for him."

"Don't you think it's strange that he's able to walk on two legs like a toddler," Chase spoke, "Are you sure it is a normal animal?"

"Of course he is!" Jessica retorted, "Remember we don't know where he first ended up, he could've been through experimentation or ended up in some chemical waste, or he might be a lot smarter than we think."

"She has a point Chase, animals are full of mysteries that we don't understand—maybe we're just not meant to understand them, but experience and use it as a lesson for ourselves." Stacey said.

"Still…a walking and flying fox? I'm not buying it," Chases muttered, "I wonder where this thing really came from…"

"Oh Stacey? Weren't you tending to the new recruits in the greenhouse?" Jessica asked.

"Yes well, the little one is shy and her mother seems to be rather protective of her," Stacey answered, "I would leave some food for them, but even if I made one step near her child she just uses those big feet of hers to try and kick me into a wall. I let the other employees know to stay clear of her until her child grows some more."

While the trio continued to converse amongst themselves, the little kitsune looked towards the blueberry bushes, hearing a small whimper coming from within them; he purred curiously, poking his head through the hedge's leaves and notices a small rabbit lying peacefully in a pile of daises. The young rabbit's fur was cream colored with orange patches of fur seen around her eyes, tip of her ears and forehead…a cute red orange dress covered her body and a fluffy white tail poked out from underneath her dress; by the look of her size, she seem to be at least two years of age. The kitsune had never seen anyone like her before; she seemed just a unique and interesting as he was…he felt like him and her were one of the same.

The young cub yipped curiously as he stepped out of the bush, eager to take a closer look when the earth began to tremble under his feet; he whines and tucked his twin-tails between his legs, unsure of what was happening. Suddenly, a large rabbit appeared from out shadows of the bushes and nearly trampled the little cub—he looked at her large size, noticing that she looked similar to the smaller rabbit, except she had tuft of orange-brownish hair on the top the top of her hair, running down the back of her head and her body covered in a long, lavender/maroon dress…he suspected that this rabbit was the younger one's mother.

The larger rabbit leaned down and sniffed his fur—each breath she took made the kit feel like he was going to wet himself; he thought he was going to be eaten, but what took him by surprise was the fact that the larger rabbit carried him over to the flowers and placed him right next to her daughter. At first, the kitsune tilted his head in confusion, but then his fur quickly puffed up as he felt the smaller rabbit sniff his chest fur—she giggled and nuzzled into him before yawning and falling asleep; the fox cub couldn't help but smile as he returned the nuzzle and fell into a deep sleep.

"I don't believe it…" Stacey said in shock, "She would never let any animals near her…that's…I'm just at a loss for words."

"At least he has made some new friends," Jessica smiled, "Come on, let's let them sleep. We'll prepare food for them in an hour."

While the two girls left the room, Chase quietly picked up a phone and dialed a few numbers before he spoke, "Hello…I know it's been some years since we've seen each other, but I believe you might be interested in a specimen I have…Oh no, these aren't normal animals…I believe the professor discussed this in his meeting…Yes, they can be delivered the next afternoon…Okay, I'll see you then, Abraham Towers."

Well, at least the animals are bonding well...and Chase...don't u do it! (Well, this is my first time using fanfiction. So, what do you guys think of this story so far? Please Review ^^)
