Chapter 29 - Observations
I opened the door, allowing a view of the street in front of us to become clear in both of our sights. What we didn't get a view of, however, were the two bunnies. One thought to the other, This could be our chance to really make sure about this. I have a really strong suspicion about them. They whispered back, "What is up with his hair, anyway? It looks like he put a lot of grease in it or something." Be quiet, they're coming out now!, the other thought back.
As we walked down the patio, my jelly boyfriend stopped to sneeze. "What the hell? You're not supposed to be able to sneeze!", I said to him. "Sorry man, for some reason the humidity's getting to me.", he said back. I replied, "You don't gotta be sorry, it's just kinda weird." As we were heading to the garage, the bunnies moved out onto the front yard to get a closer look at my jelly boyfriend's snot.
We didn't have very many discussions at all when we got into the car. We just put our seatbelts on, I rolled my window down while he cracked his, and I opened the garage door, ready to head out. Meanwhile, the bunnies were convinced at this point. This was definitely substance N, which meant that this was a creature who was trying to save them.
While we pulled out of our garage, my jelly boyfriend browsed the radio station to find another song he likes. Luckily, the radio station was playing You Spin Me Round again, bringing a wide smile to his face. "This is gonna be awesome! I have a really good feeling we'll find them today!", he said with an extremely enthusiastic tone. "I bet we will too!", I yelled back.
As we began driving away, one of the bunnies broke away from the other, trying to grab our attention. "Hey! H-", he yelled, before being cut off by the other. There are people all around! We have to find somewhere to hide while we wait for their return. Then, they both looked at the house in unison, realizing that my jelly boyfriend left the door wide open. After giving each other a look of relief, one whispered to the other, "What are we gonna do to pass the time?"
While we were driving, my jelly boyfriend asked, "Well? Where do you want to look first?" I replied "Well, I'm thinking about looking more deeply around Manhattan and maybe Jersey City a bit more. Last time we only looked around libraries and stuff. If he's been able to hide for this long, then he has to have had an insane hiding spot." He nodded his head, saying, "Look, when we get to Manhattan, you can drop me off. I'll meet you at the McDonald's at 4 P.M., alright?"
"Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself? Manhattan can be dangerous at times. Not as bad as Queens, but not too far off, either.", I assured him. "Oh, trust me", he replied, "I've been on this planet for 40 years. I would much rather die trying to save him than doing nothing at all." I shot him a worried look. "Look, alright? You're not going to die, but just look out for yourself, alright? And keep in mind, don't let yourself go, unless you absolutely have to!"
"Agreed!", he yelled back. Of course, we had to cross the bridge from earlier. No protesters this time. Phew! I dropped him off at Manhattan, and made my way to Jersey City. This begun the long search, starting from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. I looked into any alleyway that I hadn't been in before, looked in every dumpster, nothing. This bunny is hella good at hiding!
As I was driving back to the McDonald's I began to worry about my jelly boyfriend. Did he get mugged or something? I felt like a mother worrying over her child that she left alone for a good hour with some friends. Thankfully, my jelly boyfriend was waiting there at the McDonald's storefront, with a sad look on his face. As he jumped into the car, I think I could hear him crying.
"Hey, it's okay. I'm sure he'll eventually come to us.", I said, placing my hand on his shoulder. "Something's telling me he knows a bit about us." My jelly boyfriend stopped crying, and looked up at me with deep concern drowning his face. "What makes you say that?!", he said with a worrying tone in his voice. "I mean, if his mother really did get into our heads, there has to be something to say about his knowledge of us."
As we were driving back, my jelly boyfriend and I thought of much of the same thing. We couldn't stop thinking about this poor bunny, and what he must have had to have gone through this whole time. Then again, maybe he could be with someone else who is taking care of him.
As we pulled back into my garage, my jelly boyfriend turned the radio off. "Hey", I said, grabbing his left shoulder. "It will all work out. I'm willing to bet that things are going to change any second." This brought his frown upside-down, giving him a smile of hope. "Come on, let's get something to eat.", I said as we walked out of the garage out onto our front yard.
