I don't own Loonatics Unleashed

Enjoy!


Lexi Bunny hadn't left her room ever since she had been released from the hospital. Her injuries hadn't been severe where she required further treatment but she only felt tired. With each passing day, she had even woken up tired and her head ached every day. Not even the amount of medication or water could keep the headaches at bay.

She stumbled out of her bed and proceeded to walk down the stairs and was welcomed by an empty home. Ever since her incident, her parents insisted that she stayed with them until she was better. She didn't want to. She couldn't take another day of her mother fussing over her and her father watching her every move as if she was a porcelain doll. At least being roommates with Andrea, she wouldn't have this form of precaution treatment. She felt bad for thinking that way about her parents, but she couldn't deal with it, especially that she had been out of the house for over four years.

She walked over to the living room and flopped onto the sofa. Maybe the television would distract her from the incoming headache. Opening the television, every single channel had nothing on but the events that continued from the meteor crash. Lexi cringed at the volume of the television as she tried to lower it. Even on four she could hear the television loudly.

As she expected, the news was nothing but devastation. She turned it off and then another noise made its way into her ears. She peeked out the window and heard a lawnmower going off a couple of miles down the road. How was she able to hear that? After the lawnmower, she heard the bark of a dog, the siren of a police car, and then two Southern accents that were getting closer and closer. A gasp escaped Lexi's mouth as she opened the door widely and found Andrea and a male rabbit. Her first hovered at the door when Lexi pulled it open.

"Girl you heard us comin'?" Andrea asked her and swerved her hand back underneath a dish that she was carrying.

"I heard you down the street," Lexi said as she moved to the side and allowed her friends to come inside. "It's good to see you Hunter." She smiled at the male rabbit, that happened to be her friend's boyfriend.

"And what am I, chopped liver?" Andrea rose a brow and smirked before Lexi walked over to her and gave her a hug. She hugged her friend back and held the dish close to her. "I made some carrot cake."

Lexi took the carrot cake and guided both of her friends to the living room and they sat down, placing the dessert in the center of the table. "How have you been doin', Lexi?" Hunter was the first to ask her. "We haven't heard a word from you ever since you were outta the hospital?"

Lexi felt terrible that she hadn't reached out to her friends but she needed those days to herself. She had even said to her parents to just let her alone and heal during the days that she was in her room. She hoped that she hadn't caused too much worry about her wellbeing. "I've been doing okay," Lexi assured them. "I've been having a couple of headaches for the most part, but I've been able to manage."

"That's good," Andrea said, "after the impact, I thought we were both done for."

"How did you feel after that?" Lexi asked her.

"Me?" Andrea pointed to herself, "I felt finer than frog hair spilt four ways. I was worried about you when we came to the hospital! No one let us through when we wanted to come and see you."

At least both were fine. Lexi couldn't imagine the destruction that Acmetropolis had gone through and the number of years it was going to take to get it back to the way it once was. "What about the university?"

"Everything is being taught virtually until further notice," Hunter explained. "Which I don't mind one bit considering that we don't have to go to classes."

"I have to remind this slowpoke when his classes are every now and then," Andrea said with a roll of her eyes.

Before Lexi was about to respond, she turned her attention over to a noise that her ears picked up. It sounded as if something was skittering across her bedroom. "Do you guys hear that?" she asked when she heard the same noise again.

Andrea and Hunter exchanged a glance with each other before looking at Lexi. "I don't hear nothing," Hunter said as he titled his ear to the side, to see if he was able to pick up something.

There it was again. Lexi got up from her seat. "I'll be right back guys." Whatever that noise was, Lexi hoped it wasn't an intruder. She had her bedroom window locked all this time and her parents didn't keep their windows opened when they were at work. When she reached her bedroom, Lexi felt the noise getting louder and louder, enough to make her hesitate to go inside. Whoever it was, they had no right to go through her things! Taking a deep breath, she grabbed a hold of the doorknob and whipped the door open.

"Hey!" she yelled and was shocked the discover a medium sized tick-like creature skittering across her wall. "What is that?" she heard herself ask as she stared at the eight-legged arachnid. It wasn't a normal insect that's for sure. She then turned her head when she heard a set of footsteps coming towards her.

"What happened?" Andrea asked as she appeared with Hunter. She looked over to the wall where Lexi was pointing and jumped in place. "What in the blue blazes is that?"

Hunter walked in front of Lexi and held his arm out in front of her, gently pushing the female rabbit behind her. "I got this, ladies," he said. He took off his hat and threw towards the wall but the tick raised one small leg and successfully kicked the hat away from him.

The hat landed right in front of Hunter's feet as he looked down. "My hat," he said in a defeated tone of voice.

"Forget about your hat doofus, now ya made him mad!" Andrea yelled as she pointed at the tick that detached itself from the wall and was running towards them. Both Andrea, Hunter, and Lexi fled from the room and down the hall.

Medium sized or not, that was one ugly looking tick! Andrea and Hunter fled into one room as Lexi made her way down the stairs with the tick right on her tail. She lost her footing on the last step and found herself on the floor. She regained from strength to turn around and noticed the tick crouching to the ground and flying towards her. Gritting her teeth, Lexi raised her foot to squish the disgusting creature against the wall but noticed a pink light shooting towards the tick and frying it to crisp. Where had that light come from? And why did she have an earsplitting headache?

"Ugh," she moaned as she slowly got up from the floor and staggered towards the stairs, where she was able to sit down.

"Lexi?" she heard her name being called from upstairs and heard footsteps coming towards her.

"You okay, Lex?" Hunter asked her.

How was she supposed to answer that? Even she didn't know how she was.
