Camping with the Cullen's

Stefan was starting to get used to the fact his brother was now dating Elena and things were starting not to be too awkward anymore between them.

"Hey Stefan, Carlisle just called while you were in the shower, they're coming for a visit next weekend. Since the boys want to go camping I told him we would all go. They're bringing Bella. You'in?" Damon asked him.

"Sure, camping with the Cullen's might be fun! I wonder how Rosalie deals when camping..." He replied with a smirk.

"Blondie? I'm sure it's a sight to see! No make-up, no mirrors, no fancy clothes..." Damon replied.

"Somehow I think she manages to bring it with her..." Stefan said just as Elena came back in the room.

"I talked about it with Bonnie and Caroline and they're coming too... So are Tyler, Matt and Jeremy." she said.

"Alaric will be coming too, he want to meet Carlisle." Damon added.

"Do we even have enough camping material for everyone?" Stefan asked, not liking that so many people were coming with them.

"Jeremy and I have some, so does Matt and Tyler..." Elena replied.

"Well then, we'll have fun!" Damon said, wrapping his arms possessively around Elena's waist as he softly kissed her neck. Stefan looked away.

.

The next week went by quickly and soon, they were all ready to gather in the cars to head to the camp site.

"We won't have to hike long right?" Elena asked.

"No, don't worry, we'll park pretty close to the camp site." Damon replied reassuringly.

"Aren't we waiting on the Cullen's?" Jeremy asked.

"No, they will be meeting us there... They'll probably be there before us too!" Stefan replied while Alvin, Theodore and Simon settled themselves on Elena, Bonnie and Caroline's lap. He smiled. The boys always found excuses to sit on the girl's lap... They just loved when they petted them.

"Alice just texted me that it was going to be lots of fun." Stefan added on the way after his phone rang.

.

The drive lasted about 2 hours before they arrived and parked their cars next to the Cullen's Volvo and Jeep. After that they hiked about 20 minutes before they saw the small clearing where the Cullen's were done setting their tents up and were working on starting a fire.

Then they all greeted each other and the ones who didn't know the Cullen's yet were introduced. The chipmunks were a little scared and stayed mainly close to Damon.

Bella and Elena, who had talked to each other via web cam only started talking but it wasn't hard to see that Bella didn't like the fact that Elena broke up with Stefan to start dating immediately his brother. She would never do anything like that! For Bella, you could only love one person and the fact that Elena loved first Stefan and then Damon was not understandable.

"Bella Love, are you alright?" Edward asked her as they settled their tent.

"Of course I am..." She replied.

"I know you're not a big fan of camping but I promise you we'll have fun... If in two hours you're not enjoying yourself I promise you I'll take you somewhere else." Her golden eyed vampire told her.

"It's not that... I'm just really disappointing in Elena... How could she leave her boyfriend for his own brother? Wasn't she the one a few month ago who was saying over webcam that Damon was an ass? How could she hurt Stefan like this?" Bella asked, not caring that every vampire outside the tent could hear her.

"You can't always control LOVE Bella, I would know." He told her, kissing her softly on the forehead.

"But what about Damon? How could he hurt his brother like this? I know they have history but still... Poor Stefan... I would never leave you for your brother! That's simply disgusting!" Bella exclaimed as Jasper and Emmett yelled from outside:

"Thanks Bella, it makes us feel so much better to know this!"

Bella blushed but still rolled her eyes as they joined everyone outside. She understood that Stefan and Damon heard her when Stefan smiled sweetly at her and Damon avoided to meet her eyes.

"Bella... I didn't want to hurt Stefan but..." Elena tried to say but Bella said:

"Don't Elena. I don't care about what you have to tell yourself to sleep peacefully." Bella said before she went to stand beside ROsalie who looked at her in approval.

.

They were all around the fire, grilling marshmallows for the ones who could eat and simply talking for the others when suddenly, Emmett came back from hunting looking overly exited.

"What now?" Jasper asked.

"No!" Edward gasped in shock, already seeing what was on Emmett's mind.

"What's going on Em?" Rosalie asked as everyone looked at him.

"You guys will never guess what I just found while hunting!" he said.

"If we're never going to guess it then just come and say it!" Alice replied, annoyed that she didn't see anything.

"I found a rabbit who can talk! His name is Bugs Bunny! He speaks funny but I swear I'm telling the truth!" He said quickly, jumping on the spot, hoping everyone would believe him.

"What"? Elena and Bella said at the same time.

"I swear it's true!" Emmett added.

"Maybe he drank bad blood..." Jeremy suggested.

"Maybe he drank from an animal that was high..." Matt suggested also.

"Well, if chipmunks can talk I'm sure we shouldn't be surprised that Bunnies can too!" Caroline said.

"You didn't eat him right?" Bella asked worriedly.

"What do you think me for?" Emmett replied offended.

"A hungry vampire hunting!" Alvin replied, hidden in Damon's protective lap.

"Yeah well, no, I didn't drink him, I even invited him to join us!" Emmett replied.

"He's coming here?" Esmee asked.

"Yes, he was curious about the chipmunks." The big guy replied.

"Nobody is touching my boys!" Damon growled protectively just as a taller than normal grey rabbit came out of a hole that suddenly appeared behind then, a carrot in his mouth, saying:

"What's up doc?"

Everyone was in shock until Carlisle cleared his throat and said:

"Hello, I'm doctor Carlisle Cullen. Please forgive our shock..."

"You mean you're actually a doctor? That's a first! I'm Bugs Bunny!" The rabbit said, surprising everyone a little more.

"I can't believe it..." Bella said.

"He's so cute!" Caroline exclaimed.

"I was curious about the Chipmunks, I just wanted to meet them." The talking bunny said.

Slowly, Alvin and his two brothers bravely got out of their hiding spot and began talking with Bugs Bunny. Everybody was curious and the tall rabbit answered questions after questions without looking tired. He seemed perfectly fine with being the center of attention. He even explained to them that he could go anywhere from his lair. He could open his "door" on whatever place he wanted to go.

It was decided that Bugs Bunny would stay with them the rest of the week-end and he did. Everything went fine except for the fact that Caroline now couldn't get herself to eat bunnies anymore.

When they parted ways at the end of their little week-end camping trip, the Chipmunks expressed the desire to spend some time with Bugs Bunny in his hole and when the rabbit agreed, Damon gave him their address so he could bring them back in a few days.

.

They got back to Mystic Fall's and put the camping equipment away before they all decided to go to bed.

The next morning, Damon woke up missing the feel of Theodore against his neck. The only time he had slept without Theodore since they arrived was when Elena spent the night with him. Last night Elena had gone home with her brother and Damon was left all alone to sleep. He had a very bad night and woke up worried for 'his boys'.

Around 11 am, everything was quiet in the Boarding house when the door bell rang. Damon went to open it but nobody was standing on the other side of the door. He looked down to see a package. He took it and carried it inside. His brother by his side, just as curious as he was himself.

Damon opened it and gasped in shock when he saw his precious little chipmunks all tied up, crying and unable to speak. He freed them.

"What's happened to you?" He asked as he rushed to give them water and food.

"Alvin was being very excited and Bugs Bunny got tired of it." Simon explained.

"Surely he didn't ship you there?" Stefan asked.

"Yes he did. He was very mean." Theodore said, in tears.

Damon growled and Stefan rushed out, sniffing. They didn't need to speak to know what was going to happen.

For the first time since they got started on drinking Gremlins, Stefan was going to drink some bunny.

.

When he got back, a few hours later, Stefan found the boys quiet in front of the Tv.

"How did it go?" Damon asked him.

"It was hard to catch him but I managed to empty him. Of course he came back to life somehow but he promised to stay away from us and the boys from now on." Stefan explained.

"Good. He better stay away if he doesn't want to get seriously hurt because next time he hurts our boys I will find a way to kill him permanently." Damon growled.

Stefan nodded and Damon asked him in a quiet whisper so the Chipmunk would hear him:

"Was he better tasting than the Easter Bunny you had last year?" Damon meant it as a joke but he chuckled when his brother blushed and decided not to reply to his question.

"So, what are you boys watching?" Stefan asked as he sat by their side.

"101 Dalmatians. We love this movie!" Alvin explained.

"Oh yeah, I forgot they turned this into a children's story... Who would have thought..." Stefan replied.

"What do you mean?" Damon asked his brother, confused.

"The original story, the real one, wasn't as nice as this one is. It didn't have an happy ending and I'm ashamed to say that I helped the original Cruella making her coat... It looked rather pretty actually." Stefan replied, catching the attention of the boys too.

"You knew the real one? They killed all of those dogs?" Simon asked.

"Yes, it was in the 20's, I was still in my ripper days. I just left Chicago and needed a change. She contacted me through another vampire she knew. She wanted a vampire to drain the puppy so that no blood would stain the fur. I didn't want to but Lexi told me it would be a good way to start again on the animal blood diet so I went. It allowed me to get rid of my frustration through killing them all and it made my body adapt to animal blood." Stefan explained.

"You killed them all?" Theodore asked, horrified.

"No, not all... After she had had her 101 puppies for her coat someone brought her a pregnant female dalmatian. She decided she wanted to make a hat, a purse and gloves to go with it. I didn't care much but after the female gave birth to her 12 puppies... I couldn't get myself to kill them... They were so cute and I had already killed so many of them... I helped them escape and gave them to a few nice families... After that I was ready to start on the animal blood diet for good. I left the ripper behind that day." Stefan explained.

"I'm shocked brother... Who knew..." Damon said.

"I know... I'm actually the one who told the whole story to the authorities so they could arrest her but I left my part in it out." Stefan replied.

"Don't worry, that part of me is dead, I won't hurt you." Stefan added, looking at the chipmunk who looked about ready to bolt out of the room.

"You really feel bad about this right?" Theodore asked Stefan.

"Yes, I do. To this day, every time I hear a dog barking or see a dalmatian, I am reminded of all the things I did..." He concluded.

After Stefan's little story, the Chipmunks decided to turn this movie off and to pick another one. They decided on Bambi and ended up crying when Bambi's mother died..

It was better than being afraid though.

"Stefan, where you the hunter who killed Bambi?" Theodore asked him with big innocent eyes.

Stefan couldn't bring himself to break his little heart by telling the truth but he didn't want to lie either because if he didn't kill Bambi's mother, he killed lots of others when on his animal diet so instead he simply looked down.

"Who didn't you kill Stefan?" Alvin asked him with a re probating tone that made Damon chuckle.

"I don't remember ever drinking Lion so I thing you can watch Lion King safely." Stefan replied.


So, I know this is short AND crazy.

What did you think of it? I don't know how many more crazy idea I will be able to come up with for this but I'm working on it whenever I'm in a crazy mood!

Review please?
