The Aftermath
This chapter bounces around in time a lot so be prepared. Most all other chapters are set in a specific time. This in an exception so just bear with it. It bounces around to events immediately following the previous chapter, to current events, to memories of Judy's childhood, to events in Vol 1 well all over as I said. It has a lot of flashbacks and character motivation. It definitely has some Mature content and themes/images. Originally a lot of the content was supposed to be in Chapter 2 as it dealt with Judy's mindset but I felt 'You're a Green One Mr. Wilde (three-four jokes in one – count them)' was a much better setup to the love triangle and took place in a much earlier time period. That is why things jump around in this chapter a bit chaotically. Anyway hopefully it will give a better understanding of character motivations and backstory. Some quite humorous memories as well.
Zoodate Pre P.C. - 110 P.C.
(47 P.C. - 68 P.C.)
The week following the events leading to Nick's banishment was quite awkward, but that was primarily caused by Drew's guilt causing him to punish himself rather than anything Judy had enforced. For example Drew punished himself in many ways including sleeping in the guest room that had been used by Nick. He also would not touch her and barely looked at her. The guilt was eating him up and Judy could sense the tremendous pain and anguish he was feeling every time she saw him. She was extremely worried about him and decided that after a whole week of this enough was enough. He didn't deserve to be this miserable, and drawing this out any longer would not accomplish anything as she was quite certain he had learned his lesson.
So she told him that she had enough of his boycott, and told him she was upset by his constant ignoring of her and his punishment was to please her more than she ever had imagined possible in her life. And Sweet Carrot Cake she meant sexually! She had to be pretty specific sometimes with the human. It was snuggle time to the extreme. He begrudgingly accepted his punishment and once he focused his attention, he took to it as if it was an Olympic event and he was going for the gold medal. And they did it in the ancient Greek style. It was similar to a decathlon since it was made of many events spread over many sessions and days but seemed to extend into a two week hectothlon (for those with Greek knowledge – that's a lot). His exuberance to make amends for his perceived wrongs and his emotional need to comfort her led to some pretty epic efforts which seemed to cover every square meter of their apartment now that it was just the two of them.
Judy: "How can you know the strength of your love if it hasn't had to survive the greatest tests it could face? "
Drew: "That is one of the most mature and profound things you have said."
Judy: smiling "I have my moments."
Drew: "You have many moments. Now come back here Fluff!"
Judy: squealing and hopping to escape "I don't have the energy for any more."
Drew: grabbing her in his arms "Well then just relax and let me do the work."
Judy: coyly "Okay I lied... sue me… I have a little energy."
Drew: pushing her down on the couch burying his face into her bare belly "This is Zootopia there are no lawyers that sue anybody. Damn this perfect society!" shaking his fist in the air.
Judy: giggling "Oh poor human… "
(47 P.C. - 110 P.C.)
Once Nick realized that the human had not been manipulating him and generally liked him he had begun to accept the human as a decent mammal and started to warm to him. It was very difficult for him to completely turn off the part of his brain which always had doubts, but that part gradually became farther and farther in the back of the fox's brain. He still couldn't help but constantly tease Carrots and the human about their relationship as it was just too tempting but he recognized the human had no designs on stealing his best friend but saw him as an integral part of their relationship. The concept was so alien to Nick but the human was an alien so… he guessed it fit. Once they had started working again Carrots was in high spirits and they pursued their work with a vigor and gusto like never before. It was like they were Holmes and Watson from the human books and movies except they could never decide on who was who so they both finally concurred they were both Holmes and made Drew Watson. Since he wasn't there to argue, this seemed to work fine. Their solve rate was near perfect and they were handling two to three times more cases than anyone in the department.
The negotiations with the humans had already introduced many changes and improvements into Zootopian society. The infrastructure and initial stages of the internet were being built with server farm technology and high speed networking being brought in and installed. This would take quite awhile to get fully installed but huge amounts of data were being brought over as the server farms became operational. They were able to connect into the wi-fi hot spots and existing data used for their phone system but were greatly expanding the network. Zoogle was already up and running and being widely used on numerous devices now. A huge amount of the programming needed to adapt all this to a new system was being sub-contracted all over the human Earth. It would be impossible to know it was for a different world as it was broken into millions of different jobs. The amount of training of local Zootopians for development and management of web servers and web development was breathtaking. Most work was just adapting Earth data for Zootopia. Many websites and could be brought directly over. The main work was customizing sites specially for Zootopian needs.
Many other things were brought into Zootopia like ipads, Blu-ray and digitial media players, food and farming technology, life saving advanced medicines and pharmaceuticals, advanced medical technology and limited entertainment in the form of television, movies and music. Zootopians were slowly accepting shows with humans but initially they enjoyed things such as Looney Tunes and animated features with animals. The Zootopians liked watching many of the human documentaries on animals which were like watching live ancient history except that many of these had to be marked Mature/NC-17 or had parts of the animals blocked out with black bars. Many early Disney films were already becoming big hits in some of the new movie theaters that were being built in the city. The Ambassador had several focus groups which would test each different television show or movie to determine which held the most interest for the residents of Zootopia. Movies with violent or sexual content were being held back. After the events with the Covenant they felt anything with guns should not be brought in. Things with lasers and the like as in the Star Wars or Star Trek films were accepted since they didn't exist in Zootopia and didn't show graphic violence or blood. A lot of later Disney films were set to be released in the local theaters. A full library including more violent content was available for rental or purchase on blu-ray or digital format.
Most smaller and medium mining parts and technology were brought over and larger parts were constructed in local manufacturing. Mining operations had already begun in two sites for Power-8 and initial shipments covering half a years human Earth energy needs were already transferred so that generator construction using the new efficient techniques development by human and Zootopian scientists were underway in all major centers around the human globe. Technology was being used to minimize the personnel required for mining and the hardest work was adapting operator stations for smaller mammals as moles seemed to be the primary workers in the mining operations and they absolutely loved the new mining jobs and were the most suited for the work. Several other mammals were lining up for the mining jobs like armadillos, badgers, bilbies, pikas and some fennec foxes. There were many mammals well adapted to mining operations and the influx of jobs was an exciting time for their species. A few large animals such as elephants were hired for some of the heavy labor required that could not be properly automated. Some of the new small Power-8 generators were employed out in the field to handle the extreme power requirements of these remote projects.
(Pre P.C. - 110 P.C.)
It had been three months since the picnic at her parents farm. Once her parents started growing the new fruits and vegetables… the demand had been extremely high right from the start and they were able to demand premium prices. Her father bought three adjacent farms but they still could not keep up. Many of the new items like the apple trees would take awhile to grow before they would produce fruit so a large portion of the new farms were dedicated to items that would take awhile to pay off. Even with all the kids and farms they couldn't keep up so her father contracted out to a lot of friends in the area to grow his crops and pay him a 20% commission on all revenue generated. Soon he had contracted work to over half of Bunnyburrow. Her father was a shrewd business bunny… he had to be to afford to take care of so many kids.
Drew had provided lists of all the things you could make with all the new produce and had given Judy a whole list of the best recipes for each of these which she had shared with her family. Her father shared these with the public as more demand for his products would always mean more profits. Her father and the Hopps family were becoming tycoons and a power family in Bunnyburrow.
Judy thought back to the time Drew first met her family in Bunnyburrow three months ago. Judy had known how Drew had felt about her very early since they met. It had taken several days for her to get over the shock of being harmed and thinking she was going to die. Once she began to know and trust the human and once he become comfortable talking to her open and honestly she realized how wonderful a person he actually was. He definitely had flaws but his flaws were lovable. His good points however were everything she could have hoped for. He was very loving and very affectionate. He hated to talk about relationships and relationship stuff and still had a very hard time discussing it. But he responded to her emotional and physical needs without needing prompting. He would just feel what she needed him to do or be at that particular moment and he would be there. To comfort her, to talk to her, to excite her.
He also wasn't afraid to show his affection. He would never be so crude do to anything in a sexual nature to embarrass her in public… it was usually the other way around… nor would he brag or really talk about their private life or intimacy with anyone not because he was embarrassed but it seemed out of respect for her and to protect her. Most people she knew except the very very few who knew her quite well would never have any idea they even had a relationship.
In the past she hadn't had any experience with adult relationships. She had a couple brief boyfriends when she was younger. They were innocent enough but it seemed male bunnies really develop a sex drive at a very early age and they could be extremely difficult to deal with once this happened. It is almost if they have been driven mad by their hormones. Too many of her friends had gotten involved with bunnies in their early teens and had found themselves pregnant before they even knew it. Even those careful about birth control still found ways to get pregnant. It seems if there is even the remotest chance for a bunny to get pregnant doing anything sexual… well she usually becomes pregnant. Unfortunately the only way to be sure about not having this happen was to stay as far away from bucks as she could. This was very difficult because they seemed to be everywhere in Bunnyburrow and if you were a female bunny well you were fair game by unmarried bucks of any age… even some married ones.
They did not seem to take no for an answer. Their hormones would override any good sense they had and manners and respect kind of went out the window. It wasn't their fault… nature had thrust this curse upon them… but it was the female bunnies who suffered. She had to set her priorities and focus on her goal to become the first rabbit police officer and had to deny herself a more intimate relationship to protect her dream. She had hoped that eventually one day she could have that relationship.
Initially after she had known her friend Nick for awhile she thought it may happen with him. Once she stopped looking at him like a fox or predator and had complete trust in him she realized what an amazing special person he was. Flawed yes… damaged yes… annoying at times… yes but deep down he had a heart of gold. She also realized that once you got over the predator prey issue she saw him as a person and didn't even see the cross species taboo. In Zootopia cross species pairs while not common were still seen seen from time to time and were fully accepted by the people in the city. Now in Bunnyburrow that was a whole different story. Cross species relationships were taboo there. She still hears people talking about one couple she knew years ago. A rabbit and a squirrel and these were somewhat close species. Heaven forbid a predator and a prey had a relationship.
The difficulty was working with him every day as a partner on the ZPD their relationship was amazing and something special. She never wanted that to change. But she had seen many others who had experimented with an intimate relationship and even if it was brief, and it ended up damaged their partnership and friendship. Sure there were a few who could have an intimate relationship that was completely matter of fact and was only about sexual/base desires. But the people who could do this could turn off their emotions. She did not have that luxury. She was about as emotional as you could get. She knew she was and accepted it. It was impossible for her to have any kind of sexual or intimate relationship and keep emotion out of it. Even if she didn't have the experience with relationships, she knew herself pretty well and knew she would be an absolute emotional wreck. That did not bode well for a close partnership like you needed on the ZPD. You needed your complete focus on the task at hand. Without complete and total focus you risked your life and your partners life.
So she had never pushed it and Nick had never pushed it either until the recent jealous incident with Drew. Both had seemed very happy with the relationship and neither wanted anything to interfere with it. She figured she would just never find the right person.
When she met Drew she couldn't get over him being human for several days. She had been so traumatized that her mind blocked off anything regarding trust. But once she got to know him and he was comfortable opening up to her she realized he was really unlike anyone she had ever met. He was extremely bright, annoyingly so. He was also emotional. Not like her but he definitely felt a lot and had a great deal of empathy. That emotional side allowed him to feel anything that she felt almost instantly even from the very first minute he knew her and he would react to it and give her the emotional response she needed at that time. It was something extremely unique and almost unheard of for a male of any species. He also was very humble… not with his intellect… he definitely flaunted that… but as far as a mate. He was very insecure in this area and seemed to have a lot of problems from an early age. It wasn't that he denied himself the opportunities like she did for safety and career reasons, she thought his insecurities just wouldn't allow the chance to let someone get to know him.
He definitely had those insecurities when he met her and it didn't matter she was a rabbit. Once he found she was a sentient being he treated her with probably more respect than if she had been a human female. About the same time he got very comfortable was about the same time she started getting over the fact he was the same species as those he had wronged her so badly. It was once he opened up to her completely that she fell in love with the person he was. He was completely unlike Nick yet she loved him the same. She knew he had feelings for her very early but his seeing the rabbit in her made him deny those pretty much until his substitute father, The Colonel, finally pointed it out to him. Even then he denied it for awhile, but she thought that being in Zootopia and seeing how accepting people were finally brought him to see it was not an evil unnatural thing as he once believed.
Now her parents on the other hand… they may have been grateful for him saving her and bringing her back to Zootopia alive, and even providing them a huge wealth using the seeds he provided to become the richest farm by far in Bunnyburrow, but a boyfriend, well that took some serious work. It wasn't the crazy predator prey taboo because he wasn't really considered either but he was definitely unusual compared to the other mammals. After several visits and her parents finally realizing that her new home was in the new residence for top Zootopian officials they finally broached the subject. When she was home visiting by herself early in their relationship the topic was finally broached.
Stu: nervously "Um Jude… there was something I meant to ask you."
Bonnie: "Stu just ask her."
Jude: "What is it guys?"
Stu: "I know you are a big girl now. And can make your own decisions. But you are still my little baby..."
Bonnie: "Bun Bun are you living with Drew?"
Stu: "and we love you very much… Bonnie I can do it."
Bonnie: "You were rambling."
Judy: "Yes Mom."
Stu: "Ummm Jude… is he… is he your..."
Bonnie pokes him.
Stu: looks down "...boyfriend."
Judy: grinning "Yes. He is wonderful."
Bonnie: "Oh we can't tell Pop Pop not ever."
Stu: "We will just have to tell him she works with him."
Bonnie: "One of the kids will spill it though."
Stu: "Hopefully he will just forget."
Judy: concerned "Are you upset?"
Bonnie: "No Bun Bun we like him very much it is just… not done around here."
Stu: defiantly "Well they can talk about her all they want I will defend her!"
Judy: "I am sorry guys. It just sort of happened. I hadn't had those certain kinds of feelings before about anybody."
Bonnie: lovingly "We understand dear, we are not mad… we knew you did things much differently than anyone here in Bunnyburrow."
Stu: defiantly "They better not say anything against my baby!"
Bonnie: touching him "Stu please calm down..."
Judy: "Well they better not be talking about me… or that could cause a lot of problems..."
Bonnie: "Why dear?"
Judy: "It needs to be a secret."
Bonnie: "Oh?"
Judy: "If anything got out I am afraid gossip reporters would make my life not even worth a pile of carrot shavings."
Stu: "Jude… I didn't think of that."
Judy: "We are keeping it very quiet. Almost no one knows, you can't tell anybody. It has to be a family secret as closely held as Maw Maw's secret carrot cake recipe."
Bonnie: "Oh My!" (now that was a serious secret)
Stu: "Well that fixes the problem with having to worry about gossipers."
Bonnie: "Oh course we will do as you ask baby."
Judy: hugging them both "Thanks guys."
Her brother and sisters were very accepting. They all really loved Drew and he loved them. He enjoyed his time visiting them immensely and she had to drag him away from playing with or talking to them constantly. It had taken Tala a bit longer to warm to him. She was very wary of his close bond to Judy which seemed to cause her great concern. But eventually she got to know him as well and now they were quite close. The two of them did a lot of reading and theorizing about this and that and would love to discuss these kinds of things ad nauseum. They would text or call each other quite often now.
Once Drew got comfortable with Zootopia and saw how accepting everyone there was… the barriers he had put up weakened and finally she told him to deal with it and go with his feeling for her.
Once that happened he shut that hesitation away and just went with is feelings. Well one thing about two emotional people when they give in to those feelings completely. It is the greatest feeling in the world. It is like the two things come together and become twice as powerful. It was almost too intense sometimes.
But both of them had been denied that part of themselves for far too long and so they would just go with it. It could be dangerous sometimes as Drew was very careful to avoid hurting her but sometimes if the feelings were too intense mistakes happen. He would keep saying to himself over and over "Don't break the bunny." They did figure out ways to avoid this after awhile. Usually just by making sure he stayed under her as much as possible in those instances. It is probably a similar issue for other cross species pairs with a large size and weight difference. If they were being more careful it could be more normal but she knew if feelings for intense then she better be on top of the heap or she could get seriously hurt. The fortunate thing was that he could sense the instant she was in any pain or discomfort and would immediately rectify it.
The one thing that took some doing was something Judy was fairly determined about and that was for the two of them to have something she called baby bunny making snuggle time. Nick had given her the idea with his incessant badgering her about it and she was determined to make it work somehow. Drew had no idea what she was talking about…
Judy: "It is like if you were trying to make baby bunnies with me."
Drew: "We already discussed this. You would get hurt. Are you just trying to make me uncomfortable again?"
Judy: "No I am serious."
Drew: "Darn you are not trying to tease me are you."
Judy: "Nope."
Drew: "I just don't see how to do it without you getting injured."
Judy: "Well I talked to some other couples with similar issues."
Drew: shocked "Judy!"
Judy: "I was careful. They didn't know me and I made sure it just came up out of curiosity."
Drew: determined "I am not going to hurt you."
Judy: "You owe me."
Drew: pleading "Of course I do but please don't make me do that."
Judy: "It can be done it just has to be over a long period of time very carefully."
Drew: "It sounds uncomfortable."
Judy: "You know rabbit anatomy?"
Drew: looks down embarrassed "Yes you know I researched it."
Judy indicates a short distance with her two paws about three and a half to four centimeters
Drew: curious "What is that?"
Judy: "That is all you need to reach to get that perfect spot… you know the one."
Drew: blushes "You are really making me uncomfortable."
Judy: "Well I think I am going to be the one uncomfortable."
Drew: "Don't joke about that!"
Judy: laughing "It really is fun making you uncomfortable but seriously it will take some time. No better time to start than the present."
Drew: squirms "Please don't do this."
Judy: "You would think I was torturing you why are you so upset?"
Drew: "You know I feel everything you do."
Judy: "Do you feel my anger at you if you don't do as I ask?"
Drew: "Yes."
Judy: "Well then just follow my instructions."
Judy begins whispering to him.
Drew: "Yikes this is gonna take some time."
Judy: "It will work just be patient."
The method to this without causing her any permanent injury was a slow process but the end result would provide a much greater level of intimacy. One that neither of them had ever had and that is why she was so determined for it to happen. But fortunately these types of things had occurred in other cross species pairs so there was a bit of information in this area if you knew the right people and fortunately her friend Margie knew several couples who had the information they needed.
As a follow up to their current project Judy liked to come up with advantages to their pairing versus a normal one that would embarrass the heck out of the human. She remembered a really funny conversation the two of them had about just that early on. You just loved teasing him about things like this.
Judy: "Well, I don't have to worry about birth control."
Judy: "That's pretty important for us bunnies cause we multiply if a boy bunny looks at us the wrong way."
Drew: blushing "Judy!"
Judy: "It's the truth."
They both knew that it was impossible for cross species couples to produce any offspring unless the species were extremely similar usually of the same genus family. For example a panther and leopard or a horse and zebra. Any such pairings outside of extremely close species had no chance of producing any offspring.
Sorry all you shippers out there shipping everything from Gazelle and Clawhauser to Bogo and Bellwether. You can ship all you want but you'll never realistically get any offspring. Why do you think no crazy cross species creatures exist on Earth? Chimeras only exist in myth.
Judy: "It's so fun to talk about things like this that make you squirm. Oh you can talk and talk about mating habits from a theoretical standpoint or cultural impacts of this and that but just start talking about birth control, babies and sex positions and you turn red and go quiet."
Drew: "Sighs. You're really going to make me suffer aren't you."
Judy: "Oh course, this is the most fun I have had in eons."
Drew: "And you're just going to keep at it until I talk openly about everything with you aren't you."
Judy: "Have you ever known me to give up?"
Drew: "No."
Drew paused awhile and said.
Drew: hesitantly "Sorry I can't give you any kids."
Judy: "If I wanted kids why would I become a cop? Besides I could always adopt but don't need to... I want to serve the law. If I wanted to raise a family I would have stayed in Bunnyburrow."
Judy: "Also I think I will have 100s of nieces and nephews to keep me busy."
Drew: "I think I am going to need a large database to keep track of all the birthdays in your family."
Judy: "Did you want kids?"
Drew: "You know I only wanted you."
Judy: grinning "I know that, but it is nice to hear anyway."
She pauses and gets a mischievous look in her eye and says with a smile...
Judy: "Now about sex positions."
Drew: shocked "Judy!"
Judy: "Okay okay, I think you have suffered enough for now but you're going to have to talk about everything sometime soon and I mean Everything."
Drew: "Well give me some time please. God this is so uncomfortable."
Judy giggles in delight
Fortunately she didn't want kids. She had so many brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews she really didn't have any desire to raise any of her own. Besides with bunnies you can't just have one kid or even two kids… you had ten kids… or twenty…. or a hundred… that just didn't fit into her plans and she didn't have to worry about that with Drew.
She also never had to worry about him cheating or her anymore as long as Nick was not pulling the strings, and she made sure that was taken care of. Well at least not with a non human female. And since he was the only human in Zootopia that seemed pretty darn safe. She could read him quite well… actually too well… and he never gave her any reason to even be jealous… he was oblivious to all the female mammals throwing themselves at him. It was quite funny to watch. He was a celebrity mainly because of his being the only human here and also because of his role in stopping the Covenant plot and being the Human Ambassador. After this, so many female mammals would come up flirting with him and throwing themselves at him right in front of her. He was always exceptionally polite to them but never gave any indication that they remotely interested him. She supposed maybe it was a good thing that the alien nature of cross species relationship still was in his subconscious somewhere. She thought he had fooled his subconscious that she was a human female or he was a male rabbit. She figured it was the former since he showed no reaction to any of the other female rabbits that threw themselves at him now when he was away from her families farm and in the town area. In fact he was a bit scared of them now thanks to the lops. It was a bit funny seeing him flinch and start to sweat if an exceptionally attractive female bunny approached him. If he had been a male bunny he probably would have screwed himself to death in a couple days with what was being offered. Male bunnies can't say no. It is just instinct.
When they were on the human Earth initially she was jealous of Mia and was worried he would like her better. But it quickly became apparent that he completely ignored any such actions if Judy was around. What amused her is Mia became jealous of her. She did find that funny. She thought Mia was used to guys hitting on her all the time especially smart guys. But Drew completely ignored Mia and only focused on herself. It was then that she knew he was the one. With bucks you really had to worry about infidelity. It was rare to find a male so devoted that would ignore any such temptations. She wasn't so naive to think he was infallible especially after Nick had set him up, but it would take something spectacular now and he would be wrestling with it in his mind forever before ever taking any action, and she would be able to identify any problems very quickly. He tended to overthink everything especially in that area. It is what made him so hard to finally catch but made him near impossible for any others to steal.
The friends she knew of all species including humans never understood that if they could catch a guy so easily. That meant anyone else could catch him just as easily. If you or any other female had to work day and night constantly for him to share those feelings and commit to you then you knew he was serious and extremely difficult to steal.
Most relationships go through a honeymoon phase where everything is perfect and you can't do anything wrong, then comes the test phase where small things and then larger and larger things test the relationship and this is where the relationship dies or succeeds. Most relationships nowadays had no patience. At the first sign of any problems people would give up. Well Drew and Judy started in the middle and have worked their way back to the front. You don't have a relationship get quite so tested as accidental sexual abuse, torture, fighting for you life, dodging death constantly and even having you girlfriend turn into a brain dead primitive rabbit. But Drew and she had survived all that and passed with flying colors. Then they survived sabotage of their relationship by Nick and a vicious love triangle she had not seen coming.
Any problems from this point forward would seem quite trivial compared to anything they had faced. The only real test of their relationship Judy saw was the third phase and that was boredom. Well each of their lives and especially their relationship was anything but boring. They seemed to be discovering new and crazy things every day. Neither of them was really remotely close to an expert on relationships probably the opposite as her species and his had never tried anything like this so everything was new. There was no playbook to go by. No Dr. Shrew Spinsky or Dr. Booth Walabheimer to give them relationship or sex advice. It was the least boring relationship you could have. Probably the only complicating factor was the dynamic of other people in their relationship. Typically you had family and friends but it is rare to have a best friend of the opposite sex involved in a relationship. That made things interesting to say the least and had certainly caused complications, but they had survived them so far and she hoped she had settled that.
The circle of those who knew her relationship was very small. Her parents, Tala and her older siblings knew. Nick of course knew and Chief Bogo because any relationship with a government official had to be reported and she followed the law. Ben Clawhauser knew somehow as soon as he saw the two of them together. He seemed to have a special sensitivity about this. Judy figured he had some special sense the same way Drew could sense emotions. But he swore himself to secrecy regarding everything. Select officials at the apartment knew they were living together but everything at the apartment complex was very discreet. The only other people to know were McHorn, Mia and the Colonel. This was the entire circle of people who knew they had any kind of relationship and this was the only people they planned on telling.
Judy believed that the good times were ahead of them. She felt optimistic and hopeful for the first time in a long time. The major potential problems seemed under control finally. The people in their life, her parents, family and Nick were all hopefully accepting at least to some degree. The physical and emotional part of their relationship was advancing to where she wanted. Outside influences and potential pitfalls were being managed and hopefully issues with any temptations were restricted with the new controls she had put in place. She had learned a lot about relationships from her sisters. She felt like she had lived through a dozens and dozens of them. Sure they were with bucks, but there were parallels to all relationships. Their experience and advice had already helped immensely. Still everything was unique in so many ways but they had found a way to make it work. Everything would be okay now wouldn't it?
The bunny was truly amazing. She was could control everything around her. She had parents, family and two guys who loved her more anything. But she was not omnipotent. Something she was going to find out very soon. In her world major forces seemed to swirl around. Forces that threatened all her relationships and all she cared about. How she dealt with these forces would determine more than just her fate. It would determine the future of the world.
Authors Note: I did some research on this chapter and after watching bucks and does it became apparent quite quickly male bunnies are insane humping machines. There is no "hi how are you doing?" or "lovely weather we are having" it is just chase the female around and hump her whether she likes it or not… usually not... like their life depends on it. They believe even a few seconds of courtship is overrated. No one seems to be having any fun but the male, and for the male it is more like they are driven mad and hump or die rather than anything pleasurable. Anyway it amused me and influenced a lot of the content in the chapter. I feel pretty sorry for female rabbits now. Another interesting fact is that female rabbits don't have reproductive cycles like other mammals. They drop an egg soon after sex happens so the chance of pregnancy is nearly 100%. That is a scary thought. They are fertile baby making machines.
