Rabbit's brow furrowed as he recounted the candy canes on the tree.
"Twenty-three, Twenty-four... I knew it! One's missing!" Rabbit cried, almost looking triumphant that once again he was right.
The triumphant look quickly turned to that of annoyance. It didn't take a genius to figure out just what had happened to the missing candy cane. In fact, his prime suspect slammed open the door to Rabbit's home and bounced right in at that moment.
"Hiya Long Ears! Your missing a fantabolous day outside!" Tigger said, snow falling off his paws in large clumps all over Rabbit's floor.
The yellow rabbit was unsure if he should have a fit about the missing candy cane or the snow on his floor first. He decided to freak out about the candy cane first, moments later.
"Tigger! Did you take a candy cane?" Rabbit asked, hands on his hips now.
"Yes I did. It was very pepperminty." Tigger said with a huge grin.
"That and the other candy canes are decorations! I had twenty-five exactly and now you've ruined it by-"
Tigger knew that Rabbit was starting into full rant mode. When that happened Rabbit could go on for awhile about every little thing that was bothering, including was made him rant in the first place. Normally Tigger would wait for Rabbit to wind down. This time, he had a different idea.
Suddenly leaning in close,Tigger kissed Rabbit on the nose. Rabbit froze, blinking in surprise. After a few seconds he recovered.
"If you think-" Rabbit started.
Another kiss on the nose stopped him yet again.
"Would you stop-"
Another nose kiss.
It was then Rabbit sighed. The anger was gone now and he didn't feel like ranting anymore.
"Fine. Forget it. Besides, smelling that peppermint on your breath makes me want a candy cane now." rabbit said, heading to the tree.
Though Rabbit had intended to just take one candy cane for himself and another one for Tigger, the candy canes were gone by morning.
