Chapter 63 - A Way Out
"...So you basically kidnapped me, and forced me to drive a whole bunch of criminals to my house?!", I mumbled angrily. "Uh... I-I didn't mean to!", my jelly boyfriend reassured me. "Look... we have to fix this...!", I said, trying to sit up in my bed. "That's the problem, Mark!", Barry told me. "We have no idea what to do now! The outside world already knows that I'm here, and it's only a matter of time before the government tracks us down!" I looked around at the three of them in the room. "...where's the others?", I asked them. The rest of us are in the living room., Ella thought to me.
I stumbled out of bed, with my jelly boyfriend helping me stand up. I slowly was able to make my way to the open doorway. I saw 7 more bunnies, who were all looking at my direction. "Well, well, well, look who finally woke up!", Matiro yelled at me. "Geez, he just got up! Can't you leave anybody alone?!", Osmos yelled back at him. I looked back at Barry. "...Just how am I going to feed you all!?", I asked him. "I... I don't know...", he told me. Megalo rubbed his left elbow with his right hand, feeling bad about what happened to me.
"We're sorry we had to come in, but we didn't have anywhere else to go!", Adyna told me. My headache was only growing more and more at this point, with myself knowing that I would have to help all these bunnies out. "Look, It's fine, but I really can't take care of all of you. I don't make enough money from my job to support you, and I don't have anywhere you all can sleep.", I said to them. Karito hugged her father's legs, scared of being back in the laboratories again.
"Wait a minute... I think there's a way we can fix this!", Iremiya said with a tone of excitement. "This had better be good, Remi!", Giko said. "Hear me out, everyone... What if... What if we prove ourselves to the world in a strictly meaningful way?" Everyone exchanged looks with each other, surprised at his suggestion. "What... does that mean?", Megalo asked. "What if we simply had a way to show ourselves to the public without being angry?", Iremiya asked everyone. Everyone deeply thought about what the statement meant for them. "On one hand, people would know us, and the scientists would probably see us yet again.", he said to everyone. "...but they would know that we're generally nice people!"
"There's only one problem with that.", Matiro said to him. "Not even a half-hour ago, we just killed all those guys back at the lab, and we probably did way more damage then we needed to. We'll be arrested by the time we even think about the positives of this!" I walked back into my room, opening my closet, shuffling things left and right trying to look for something. Mark? What are you doing? My jelly boyfriend backed away from me, giving me space to move around.
"There it is!", I yelled, finally discovering the location of where it was. "What... what is it, Mark?!", Osmos said with a deeply concerned tone. I walked out of the room, carrying a camera on a tripod. "Everyone, it's time to change the world.", I explained to them. "A camera?! How on earth is that going to save us?!", Giko asked me. "There's an invention we have, called the internet. It allows for one person to look up anything they want! Knowledge, entertainment, you name it. I'm going to film us explaining what we are and why we did this, and then I'll put it up on the internet for many people to see and understand our point of view."
"Are you crazy?! We'll be arrested!", Matiro shouted. "Now hold on, Matiro! This could actually be what we're looking for.", Osmos told him. "Maybe if we talked to everyone in a deep, meaningful way, we might be able to live happy lives again!" Matiro rolled his eyes, telling Osmos, "I doubt it... but I'll be honest. I can't think of any better ideas..." Giko smiled in anticipation. "It's amazing how far you humans came in terms of technology! I can't wait to be able to learn more about it!"
"I mean, they already know about my existence, so why not give it a shot?", Barry said to everyone. Suddenly, my phone went off, ringing loudly as someone was calling me. It caught everyone's attention, so I motioned to them to keep it down while I answered the call. I pushed the "Answer" button on my phone, and brought the speaker to my ear. "Hey! Are you feeling any better?", my boss asked me. I looked around the room at all the rabbits I would help rescue.
"Boss...", I said as I turned toward my jelly boyfriend, who was also excited that he wouldn't have to worry about the dangers anymore. "...I've wanted to say this for so long now... I quit!", I said into the receiver, before hanging up.
