Chapter 31 - Boundless Curiosities
"You know, it'd be great if you weren't in my head while I'm having a headache", I disgruntingly said as I closed the front door. "Hey man, she's mute. She has to telepathically speak to those around her.", the blue bunny said. "I apologize, but I really don't like the idea of you getting to know things that you don't want to know", I replied. I slumped down in a chair that I like to keep on the other side of the coffee table, to try and collect myself for a second.
The pink bunny thought to me, I'm sorry! I'll try not to get into your personality. Also, you can just think things in your head, I'll be able to hear them. Amazed, I turned toward the blue bunny. "Can you 'hear' what she's saying when she's communicating with me?", I asked. "Yes, it works kind of like how you would talk usually. It's pretty handy in fact.", he replied.
"I'm sorry to the both of you, it's just incredible meeting more different things many people wouldn't imagine existing in the first place.", I said to them. It's good to know that you don't have any intent in harming us, either., the pink one said. That reminds me... What is your name, anyway? And what is ...that?, she asked, pointing to the large tub of pink slime that was now sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor.
"Wait a second!", the blue bunny shouted, getting up from the couch to get a closer look at the goo. He leaned down, picking the tub up before placing it on the coffee table. He stuck one of his fingers inside. "Oh hey! This feels like the stuff I got on me when we were escaping from that lab.", he said. Sit down! Let's ask these people about the world., she asked the blue bunny. "Ugh, fiiiiiine...", he groaned as he sat back on the couch next to her.
"Well, my name's Mark, and this is... uhh..." I struggled to get the words out that could perfectly describe my jelly boyfriend. "...my jelly boyfriend.", I eventually said. They looked at me with expressions of complete wonder. "Wait, so... you're into... that?", the blue bunny asked. "Yes...", I replied with a sigh. But what's his actual name?, the pink bunny asked. "Well, he doesn't really have one", I responded. That's really strange... you didn't give your lover a name?!, she asked in shock. "Trust me, that's the least of the weirdness.", I said. The blue bunny giggled, finding the joke hilarious.
"So, while I get you both something to eat, why don't you tell me your stories?", I requested them as I got up from the chair, heading towards the kitchen. "I guess I should go first.", the blue bunny said. "My name's Barry. Nice to meet you, Mark!" I shouted from the kitchen, "Nice to meet you, Barry!" He began telling me about everything that happened in the lab, and how he made his escape through a scientist's complete mistake. Apparently they had left a door open, that led to the outside, in the N lab, as they were trying to execute them.
"I was lucky I didn't get a shot of cyanide! I managed to slip out of their fingers, maneuver around like 6 of them, and escape! But on the way, I accidentally hit my head on a table, spilling some of... this stuff... on me. Later, I passed out, and I looked like this!", he told me. I walked out of the kitchen, carrying two big bowls of carrots. Both of their eyes lightened up as I passed the two bowls onto them. Thank you so much, Mark! It's been so long since we've had carrots..., the pink bunny thought to us. "Hey, no worries.", I replied.
"Hey, what is your name? You look wonderful in that dress!", I complimented her. Aww! My name's Ella. I was able to escape in much of the same way as my brother, but instead of coming into contact with this chemical directly, I found my brother lying in the woods, almost as if he was in pain. I knew I had to try something to get it off of him, so I tried licking it off. As you can see, it didn't end as well as I would have liked it to.
"I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to both of you. I've heard a lot of bad things about that laboratory...", I said to them. Immediately after I said this, the coffee table began to wobble back and forth, as my jelly boyfriend began to take himself into his pink-human state. Both Barry and Ella watched in wonder as they witnessed something come to life. They had seen him earlier, but watching him rise out of nothing is interesting.
"Ugh... Where am I?!", my jelly boyfriend groaned as he began to wake up. He looked around, seeing the two 5-foot-tall bunnies watching him as if they had never seen something so... alien. "Oh... Mark, we found them!", he shouted with excitement in his eyes. "Yes we did, and they want to talk to you.", I told him. "Wha... they talk?!", he clumsily asked out loud.
"Yeah, we do, actually. So yeah, thanks.", Barry said with a major tone of sass. Brother, please don't act like that towards them! They're here to help us!, Ella thought to him. My jelly boyfriend looked really disgruntled at this point. "Hey buddy, why do you have to be like that about it!? I just passed out from finding out that we finally saved you from all those people, so I apologize if I act a little dazed, alright?", he said.
"... I apologize too, man. Sorry. Oh, my name's Barry. This is my sister, Ella.", he said to my jelly boyfriend. "It's nice to meet you, Barry and Ella!", he happily replied. "Ella's mute, so she can't talk, but she can telepathically communicate, so don't be scared by her.", Barry quickly brought up. My jelly boyfriend looked a little confused, probably because he didn't know what 'telepathically' meant. "Uh... sure, I don't mind!", he responded.
So... can you tell us a bit about how you came here?, Ella asked him. I gave my jelly boyfriend a look of deep anger, as if to say, 'I swear, you better not mess this up.' "Well", he started to reply, setting me in deep relief as he didn't cause a big scene this time. "Here's how it really went down..."
