It had been three weeks since Kit disappeared. Fudge sat at the dinner table playing with her peas. She didn't feel like eating. For some reason this strange feeling in her chest wouldn't leave her. And it was killing her not knowing what was causing it. It didn't go unnoticed by Coco and Fried Fritter. Who were trying to figure out what could've caused the huge one-eighty in their daughter's mood.
"Sweetie. Are you okay?" Coco said, Fudge numbly nodded.
"Are you sure?" Fried Fritter asked and his daughter nodded again this time more rapidly,
"Well...how's that friend of yours?" Her mother asked expecting Fudge to perk up.
That didn't happen.
Fudge dropped her spoon and both parents saw something die inside of her. She then ran up the stairs and headed towards her room. Coco and Fried Fritter followed,
"Sweetie! Wait! Whatever it is we can settle this!" Coco said as she saw Fudge's room door slam and lock. Their daughter slide on her side of the door and sobbed into her hands. Coco ran to the door and got ready to knock but Fried Fritter grabbed her hand and held it firm.
"Honey let's just leave her be. I'm sure if we have a little walk we can have time to clear our head's and figure out what to do." He said as he led his wife back down the stairs,
"Your sure?" Coco asked.
"Yes." Fried Fritter responded as he opened the door for his wife and he stepped through. He wrote a note and tapped it on the door; he then walked through the door and locked it.
"Do you think Fudgey will be okay?" Coco said as her and her husband started to walk through the forest,
"She'll be fine. I wrote a note and we'll only be gone for an hour." Fried Fritter said reassuring his wife. They kept walking until they ran into two figures. They looked up to see Deviled Dish and Crunch. The two perked up immediately,
"Hi! How have you been?" Coco asked.
"Great! What about you?" Crunch said surprisingly chipper.
"Not so good. Fudge has been so sad lately." Fried Fritter said sounding somewhat deflated,
"Well I'm sure she'll be back to herself in a few days." Crunch said and Coco shrugged.
"I don't know." She said before Fried Fritter said their good byes and went further into the forest.
"I wish I knew how to make our Fudgey smile again." His wife said just before the ground gave out under them and they fell into an underground shelter. The two got up not sustaining any injuries from the fall. And as the two got up the looked up to see they'd only fallen two feet. If they standed on each other's shoulders or backs they could get out. But their minds came to a halt when they heard sniffling. That alone immediately caused Coco and Fried Fritter's parental instincts to kick in. They walked until they saw they we're in a small cavern, Coco looked around.
"Hello is anyone here?" Fried Fritter asked and waited as his voice echoed across the walls. A weak but frightened yelp was heard and Coco ran towards the voice; Fried Fritter following as well. It didn't take long for them to find a small cage with a curled up white ball. Coco put one of her hands through the bars and gently tapped Kit; but his reaction was not want any of them expected. Kit started screaming,
"No please no more! Just kill me already! I'll be your servant, slave anything just please let me see the sun again!" He then raised his head and saw two shocked racers instead of his vengeful parents. Kit blushed a deep shade of crimson and went silent,
"Y-Your...a...a chocolate bunny?" Coco asked slightly stunned. The mentioned chocolate bunny nodded slowly.
"That's amazing! You look so different from the others!" She responded almost forgetting Kit's appearance.
"How'd you get here? Who did this to you?" Fried Fritter asked as he fiddled with the cage; trying to get it to open. Kit then turned red again,
"I...I don't want to talk about it." He muttered too embarrassed to say anything else. And the three sat in silence as Fried Fritter worked on the cage.
By the time they had come back home it was almost midnight. Coco held a sleeping Kit in her arms as he had brownish markings on his wrists and neck from his restraints. And Fried Fritter was staring to make a bed for their new guest on the family couch. The two then heard rapid footsteps upstairs and before they could even turn around Fudge was right behind them.
"Oh thanks goodness your okay! I was getting worried I read the note but you didn't come back when you said. I was gonna-" She said before Coco turned around and she saw her friend, Fudge smiled slightly and said:
"Goodnight." Before she walked up the stairs her attitude again doing a complete one-eighty.
It was the next day and Kit woke up with the smell of bacon filling his senses. He pulled himself up just in time to see Fudge sit on the other side of the couch. Holding a plate of bacon, fried eggs, and a hashbrown. She placed the plate on Kit's lap making sure the blanket blocked off most of the heat.
"So...those are your parents?" Kit asked as he started munching on a piece of bacon amazed on how good it tasted,
"Yeah. They're really nice. You'll be able to go to school and make some more friends! I'm sure everyone will love you!" Fudge said.
"Ya think?" Kit responded and Fudge nodded her head,
"We don't have any school this week but next week you'll be able to see other people." She said just as Kit stuffed three pieces of bacon into his mouth. Trying (and failing) to use decent table manners with an empty stomach.
"I can't wait!" Kit said inadvertently causing a few pieces if bacon to fly out of his mouth. Fudge giggled,
"Oh and just a bit of advice. You need to chew all your food before you speak. It's like you've never eaten before." Fudge joked and started laughing until she realized how red Kit had got,
"Your...joking." She said and again she just got the same uncomfortable silence.
"Oh my lands! You've never had real food!" Fudge exclaimed causing Kit to turn beat red,
"I have! But...it's been nothing but... stale bread and milk." He muttered the last part feeling more shame wash over him. Fudge blinked again,
"Mom! Please cook a feast tonight this boy needs variety!" She said causing the mentioned boy to flinch slightly.
"I'd be glad to but I'm sure he isn't in that much need for food." Coco said as she walked over and rested her arms on the couch.
"All he's had for four year's is stale bread and milk." Fudge said in a deadpanned tone and her mother's eye's widened,
"Sweet Alabama! I better start cooking!" Coco said rushing back to the kitchen to plan the best dinner ever. Fudge turned back to Kit to see he had eaten his entire plate, he smiled sheepishly.
"Yeah you definitely need to have more food in your belly." She said poking Kit's belly casing him to giggle,
"Hey that tickles." He said. And just then a mischievous smirk grew on her face.
"Oh...really?" Fudge said slowly advancing towards Kit,
"No, don't you dare." He said quickly catching on. And before he could run Fudge pounced and started tickling him. And the children's laughter echoed in the house making Coco smile maybe this was a good idea after all.
Fried Fritter had just gotten home from work and was surprised to see Kit immediately at the door. He had a wide smile on his face. His eye's we're shimmering, and his white chocolate body was practically glowing.
"Is it true you guy's once cooked a turkey that was twenty feet tall? Are you guys the one that invented kit-kat eclairs? How long did it take for you to make the first ever fudgcano cake?" He said at rapid fire jumping up and down while doing it, and Fried Fritter chuckled.
"I see someone is hungry." He said and Kit blushed slightly,
"Yeah but it's your daughters flat she won't stop telling me how amazing all of your food is!" Kit said.
"Alright dinner's ready!" Coco's voice called from the dinning room,
"Yes!" Kit said before speeding off with Fried Fritter following at a much slower pace. The four then sat at the dinner table. With it being covered with so much food that they could feed all of Sugar Rush and still have leftovers.
"So can we eat?" Fudge said but Coco shook her head,
"I invited my friends over, Deviled Dish and Crunch, I kinda over did it on the food and thought. "Hey why not let them come over!"" And it was as if someone had stolen everything wonderful from Kit and Fudge.
"Wha-What?" Kit said who started to shake,
"I invited them over I just wanted to be neighborly." Coco said as she noticed that their new guest looked ready to pass out.
"M-M-Mom. I-I don't think that's such a good idea." Fudge squeaked, Fried Fritter opened his mouth. But before he could even form words the door opened. And the two demons walked in with smiles, Kit's cheeks turned a deep red and he started to sweat he was paralysed. Crunch and Deviled Dish's smile fell one second later as their eye's widened when they saw their son. Fudge fainted and her parents we're shocked as thet were soon to realize what hell would be set off in their home.
