2. Chapter 2

Hi Guys, Sora again with another story this time I chose Peter Rabbit, which was a strong part of my childhood, My Great Grandmother ( Rest In Peace) used to read me the stories that Beatrix Potter wrote, and I always cherished them, so I'm going to write one of my own.

Chapter 2: Meeting the forest's residents

Rory's POV

After that, Peter, and I walked downstairs, back to the living room. " Josephine?" I asked. " When you met Peter's father did he have a human companion?" I asked, as I showed her the photo.

" Why yes, April Sakura." She answered. " Peter's father, was her familiar, and she was my best friend, April, and I would always share things with each other, I would even tell her about my crush on Ezra, and participated in the adventures, Ezra, Banjamin, and I had. Before, Ezra..." She sighed.

" Yeah, I know." I said. " She died when, Mr. McGregor baked your husband into a pie." I said. She looked at me skeptically then found my eyes, yes I have Mom's. Even though Dad loves me he can never bring himself to look into my eyes, and I understood why, it's because I have Mom's.

" April?" She said tearing up when she saw Mom's eyes. " How did I not see it before?"

" Yeah, She was my Mom." I explained. " But, Dad can't seem to find it in him to look me in the eyes, so it's a curse for me to have Mom's eyes." I said. " And anyway, my life has been harder since Mom died, Dad has been nothing but a shell of who he was, he doesn't like it when I use magic, but he does." Then Josephine embraced me, and I leaned into it, Her hug reminded me so much of Mom's.

" Your father is probably still grieving over the loss of your mother." She reasoned. " I know how hard it was for me when my husband died, but I didn't brood I let my loss make me stronger, as I am sure your father will find his strength too." She said. " But if you need, your always welcome here, As Peter's Magician you are now a part of our family." She said.

" Thank you, Josephine." I said returning her hug.

" Hey, Rory aren't we going to show you the forest, or what?" Peter asked. I smiled at my familiar.

" I'll be right there." I said, before I could leave there was something I had to do snuck into Cotton-Tail's room, She was still napping. " Sleep tight, Angel." I whispered, as I kissed her on the forehead. After that I joined the others. " Sorry guys, had to see Cotton-Tail real quick before I left, it could be my connection with Peter, but I'm getting attached to Cotton-Tail." I said, as we headed off.

" Yeah, she sweet isn't she?" Peter asked, As we made our way to the lake, on the way we had to sneak past a, still sleeping, Tommy Brock.

" Wow, guess you hit good, and hard with that Sleep Spell, Peter." I whispered to my familiar.

" Yeah, No kidding." Peter added.

" I can't wait to find out if I have a Magician." Benjamin said, " I want to be able to cast spells too."

" Yeah, me too." Lily added. " I bet we could do all sorts of cool stuff, I could learn spells for finding things, learning more..."

" Breathe, Lily." I said, as we continued our walk. That's when a rat ran by us with a plate of oak cakes. I recognized him as the rat from my ketchen. " Eldritch Shield, of This for That, Cast my Spell, and trap that Rat!" I said, as a force field enclosed around him.

" Wha-?" He said. " Not again, how-?"

" Do you really have to ask?" I asked, He turned to see me. Smiling. " Those look like alot of Oak Cakes, are the yours?"

" You, again." He said, pointing an accusing finger at me. " Your that kid, that caught me, and cost me that cheese." He said. " I stole that cheese, and you went, and snatched it way, then sent me flying."

" That's me." I said winking at Peter.

" From Tender Caring this Rat did Takes, into my paws teleport that plate full of cakes!" He recited, in a flash of royal blue light the plate, and the cakes vanished out of the Rat's paws, and reappeared into Peter's.

" WAAH!" The Rat shouted. " My cakes, where did my cakes go, I stole them from Jemimah Puddle-Duck, and now they're-." He stopped when he saw me pointing behind him. He turned around to see Peter holding the plateful of Oat-Cakes. " You, thieving little rabbit, give me back my Oat Cakes!" He screamed in anger.

" Your Oat Cakes?" I questioned. " I don't think so, You did just say you stole them sooo..." I grabbed the magic force field I had trapped him in, and put it on the ground, and BAM! I kicked it, far with him in it. " And to this day, I still don't know why Dad never signs me up for Soccer, or Football as it's called here in Britain." We carried the Oat-Cakes back to Miss Puddle-Duck. Who was happy to have them back.

" Oh Peter, Benjamin, and Lily thank you for returning my Oat-Cakes." Miss Puddle-Duck, said gratefully. " Oh who's your new friend?"

" Oh, this is Rory O'Hare." Peter said. " He's our new friend."

" Oh, Well pleased to meet you, Rory." Miss Puddle-Duck said. " Here take an Oat-Cake, as a thank you." She said, offering them.

" Thank you Miss Puddle-Duck." We said as we continued our walk to the lake.

" Wow, She maybe scatterbrained." I said, As I took a bite out my Oat-Cake. " But what can I say, She makes a mean Oat-Cake."

" Mm-hm." Benjamin agreed, downing his cake. As soon as we got to the lake, we saw a frog, composing music.

" That's Mr. Jeremy Fisher." Peter explained. " Mr. Fisher, We would like you to meet our new friend, This is Rory O'Hare." Peter said. As Mr. Fisher, took a break from his composing to meet me.

" Well, Mr. O'Hare, pleased to meet you." He said politely.

" The pleasure's all mine." I said, shaking his hand. " I see your a musician, and that was quite a song you were performing."

" Why, Thank you, Mr. O'Hare." He said. " Now please excuse me, I just had an inspiration for my latest song." He said, as he returned to his music. Then I had an idea.

" Mr. Fisher, can I barrow your guitar real quick?" I asked as he did so.

" You play?" He asked.

" Well, I know a few songs." I said as I strummed a tune." 🎶 Is it too much to ask?

I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back
Food to fill me up
And warm clothes and all that stuff
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have all of this, and

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa-oh-oh
Passionate kisses from you?

Is it too much to demand
I want a full house and a rock-'n'-roll band
Pens that won't run out of ink
And cool quiet and time to think
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have all of this, and

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa-oh-oh
Passionate kisses from you?

Do I want too much?
Am I going overboard to want that touch?
I shout it out to the night
Give me what I deserve 'cause it's my right
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have all of this, and

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa-oh-oh
Passionate kisses from you?

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa-oh-oh
Passionate kisses from you?

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses from you?

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses from you?

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses from you?

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses from you?"🎶 I finished, as I was done everyone loved it.

" That was positively wonderful." Mr. Fisher said ecstaticly at my performance, as the others clapped too. Suddenly a shadow flew over head.

" Who-WHO!" Came a hoot from above as an Owl swooped in. " Tail Feathers, Can't an Owl get a decent shut eye?!" He shouted.

" IT'S OLD BROWN!" Benjamin screamed in fright. " Rabbits are Brave, Rabbits are Brave!" He said. As we ran but, then Benjamin tripped, and so did I over him, and when Peter, and Lily ran in one direction, Benjamin, and I rolled in another. That's when hit a tree trunk.

" Oof, Benjamin are you okay?" I asked. As I got up, and lifted him to his feet.

" Yeah, I'm okay!" He said as something small hit his head. " Ouchie!"

" Yeesh, Mr. Tod, Tommy Brock, and Old Brown?" I said. " At least I know who to avoid." I said.

" Well Mr. Tod usually comes after us for a meal." Benjamin said. " Tommy Brock, if we wake him up even by accident. Old Brown is both in one." Suddenly Benjamin tripped over a bag of junk, and there was Tommy Brock.

" Snort, huh, Oi you messed up my treasures!" Tommy said waking up. " I'll get you!" He shouted.

" I should've mentioned that the spell will wear off." I said as we took off that's when we ran into Peter, and Lily. " Oof! Hey who you running from?" I asked.

" Mr. Tod, you?" Peter asked.

" Tommy Brock." I said. " The Spell wore off."

" Who, WHO!" Old Brown was flying at us.

" Come back here at once, and let me eat you!" Mr. Tod shouted.

" I'll get you for ruining my Treasures!" Tommy Brock shouted.

As all three came at us, Peter spotted something. " THIS WAY!" He shouted. We dove for a tunnel, and Brown, Tod, and Brock collided with each other. " Good ol' Dad!" Peter stated.

As soon as we popped out of the other end. We were piled, on each other laughing. " That was Awesome!" I said, pulling everyone to their feet. " I don't believe I ever want to leave this forest."

" Come on, Rory, we're not to far from, Ms. Twiggy Winkle's." Peter said as we walked, as soon as we got there, a female Hedgehog came out of her shelter, with a load of Laundry.

" Mrs. Tiggy Winkle do you have a few minutes?" Peter asked. " We'd like to introduce you to Rory O'Hare." He said.

" Well hello, Dear!" She said, cheerfully. " Oh well pluck my spines, a human, why I haven't seen one this height since..." I gave her a good veiw of my eyes. "...April?" She said in surprise.

" Yeah, She was My Mother." I said.

" Oh, How wonderful, I remember her well." She always knew how to help with the wash, when her things got dirty she gave a special soap for her magical wear." She said. " How is she?"

" She passed away, same day, and time Peter's father did." I said.

" Oh, Now that's horrible, well she was an amazing friend." Ms. Tiggy Winkle said, hugging me.

" Thank you, Ms. Tiggy Winkle." I said. " I'd return the hug but, well spines, and all." I added. Soon after we made our way to Ginger, and Pickle's shop. Ginger was quite friendly, but Pickles was not very social, and was abit grumpy.

Lily Bobtail's parents, let us stay for lunch, andI met Benjamin's father, who also remembered my mother. As soon as we made our way back to Peter's home.
