Chapter 28 - Planning
As I finally built up the courage to get out of my bed, I looked outside the window, to see more of that beautiful green grass. I leaned closer to the window so I could get a clearer view of the greatest, sunniest day of my life, apparently. I saw many forest critters fly and run past. Squirrels, birds... but one caught my eye. A bunny. It looked just the same as any other, but for some reason, just seeing it sent shivers down my spine, as if I had the feeling that this bunny was plotting to hurt me. Ridiculous, I know.
I turned towards the bedroom doorframe, where I saw that my door was partway open. That's weird, I never leave my bedroom door open, I thought to myself. After my first step outside the doorframe, I looked towards the guest bedroom. Door's wide open. It was at this point where I smelled something not unlike a coffee shop. As I was walking to the kitchen, I noticed an extremely thin sliver of pink along the ground.
When I reached the kitchen, the first thing I saw was my jelly boyfriend sitting at the breakfast table, shivering his brains out. Well, if he had any. He was holding a cup of coffee in his hand, and I noticed another cup of coffee on the table across from him. He eventually looked up at me, telling me to take a seat in front of him. I obliged, taking my seat across from him, before sipping from the coffee.
"I had a dream last night", I heard him say as I was in the middle of a sip. I had a spit-take, shooting the coffee out of my mouth onto the other chairs at the table. "You had a what?!", I asked in shock. "A dream", he replied. "But that's impossible! You're not...", I started to ramble. I began to feel his look of deep anger fall on me. "... nevermind..." He grabbed his coffee cup, taking a sip before continuing the conversation.
"In this dream, it was the strangest thing I'd ever seen. I was surrounded by white, almost as if I was stuck in a piece of paper. Everything felt smooth. Then, I began to hear a voice. It was very... womanlike." Upon hearing this, I performed yet another spit-take. "Stop doing that!", he snapped at me. "You heard a woman-like voice in your dream?", I asked. "Yeah, I did!", he replied. "Did it come from a bunny?" He replied, "Y-yes... how did you-", he started asking before I interrupted him. "Was the bunny about 5 feet tall, wearing a pink dress, and was completely white?"
He put down the coffee cup onto the table, giving me the most deeply concerned look on his face. It's almost as if he thought I had an influence on his dreams. We sat and stared at each other, before my jelly boyfriend eventually spoke up. "S-so... what did uh... she do in... your... dream?", he eventually asked. I took another swig of the coffee, feeling it wash down my throat, before I responded. "Well... the first thing she said was... my name. Then, she told me..." I stopped dead in my tracks. I didn't think I could say the next few words.
"Go ahead", he said. I had another really intense look at him. Does he really- No, of course he's real! I'm drinking coffee made by him right now! What the hell am I thinking, I thought to myself. I gulped, before muttering, "She said that you... didn't exist." This time, he was the one to do the spit-take, but instead of spitting the coffee all over the other chairs, he picked up his coffee cup, and spat his coffee back out into the cup. I would have worn a disgusted look on my face, but he was very quick to tell me, "Look, you know I exist, alright?", in a disgruntled tone.
"I know! That's what I told her!", I said back. "Hey, why did you spit the coffee into your cup again?", I asked. He replied, "Why did you spit it all over the chairs?!", rubbing the other chairs at the table with his finger, effectively cleaning them. Oh, that's right. He's anti-bacterial. "Anyways", I continued, "The last thing she told me was something about her children, whatever that means. After that, I woke up." My jelly boyfriend seemed extremely interested. "That's weird. That's not what she told me. She told me everything's going to be okay." I asked, "Okay? What's that supposed to mean?" He replied, "I'm not really sure. She called me her child, and to do what I think is right."
"Wait", I began to ask another of the numerous questions I was going to ask today. "You have a mom... who's a bunny?!" He very quickly replied, "Of course not! I already told you about how I was created." I took the last sip of my coffee, just thinking about this whole conversation. "Oh!", he quipped, "I remember asking what her name was!" I handed him the dirty coffee cup, asking "Well? What was it?" He grabbed the coffee cup, sticking it in his chest as he said, "She didn't give me one. Instead, she told me that I couldn't learn right now, but it will eventually come to you. Whatever that means."
He took a large swig of coffee before looking at me dead in the eyes, saying "Look. We have to find them. Now." I looked down at the floor, thinking in my head how we were going to find a giant blue bunny. He continued. "Now it's getting to the point where our minds are telling us that we have to do it! Something greater is happening here, and I swear on the heart I don't have that that this is what we have to do."
"You're right", I told him. "We have to look extremely hard today. Let's get into the car and start looking for them." He began running to the bedroom, changing forms so he could blend in with society. As he was getting dressed, I walked over to the cupboard, picking out a pop-tart, and placing it in the toaster. As soon as it went down and began to toast, I ran to the bedroom in my jelly boyfriend's footsteps, pulling the drawers, and pulling out clothes. He eventually finished dressing himself before me, so he began to help me with my jeans and my socks as I was putting on my T-shirt.
When we were both completely dressed, he quickly ran out to the living room, putting his shoes on. "Come on! WE GOTTA GO!", he yelled at me. "Hold on a second!", I yelled back as I ran to the toaster to pull out the pop-tart, quickly engulfing it as I began putting on my shoes. Finally, we were completely ready to go. I grabbed the car keys, grasped the door handle, and pulled it open.
