Chapter 5: Beware the Bunnies
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. I hope everyone is doing well. Some ideas for this chapter came from my buddy masters123lfm. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
At Zee's penthouse, Sam was standing in the middle of the suite looking in awe at everything.
"Wow Zee, how do you afford all this?" Sam asks.
"My dad is a famous magician who performs lots of shows." Zee said from a nearby closet.
"Oh so that's where you got your love of magic from." Sam chuckles.
"Yeah, don't get me wrong being my dad's assistant but I really want to be my own magician." Zee said walking in with something on a hanger.
"I can respect that, but why do you need me?" Sam asks.
"Because I finally got my first gig as a magician and I need an assistant. Here try this one. It's my dad's old magician's tux." Zee said holding it out for him.
"Uh what?" Sam asks confused.
"Yeah shouldn't you have asked Sam if he wanted to be your assistant first?" Faang asks.
"Please Sam, you're the only one. Karen's got stage fright, Diana things its too flashy, Babs gives away all the tricks and Marinette and Jessica already had plans today." Zee begs.
"What about Kara?" Faang asks.
"Oh she's got another job today. Zee said pulling out two caged bunnies. "Watching these two for me. This is Blackberry Hazel von Hausle III, and this is Dandelion Pipkin de Heisenplay."
"Wow fancy names." Sam said.
"So will you do it? Please." Zee repeats.
"Oh alright." Sam said as Zee cheers and gives him a hug.
"Oh thank you thank you." Zee smiles before handing him the tux. "Now go try this one. We have to stop at Kara's before going to the party."
20 minutes later, Zee walked out in her magician's outfit when the door opened and she saw Sam step out her dad's out tux and let's just say it really fit him well.
"Uh how do I look?" Sam asks.
"Magical." Zee said causing her and Faang to chuckle. "Come on." Zee grabs his hand and leads him out.
"Wait Zee, the rabbits." Sam reminds.
Heading back in Zee picks up both cages and runs back out.
At Kara's house, Kara was laying in bed trying to sleep when she heard a knock at the door.
"Stupid super-hearing." Kara groans.
"Kara, your friends are here." Her uncle called out.
"What? Who could be coming this early?" Kara asks walking to the door when it swung open to reveal Zee.
"Hello Kara dear: my pride and joy." Zee smiles.
"Pride and huh?" Kara asks when Sam walks in. "Whoa, what's with the monkey suit?"
"I'm helping Zee today." Sam said.
"This is Blackberry Hazel von Hausle III, and this is Dandelion Pipkin de Heisenplay." Zee introduces.
"Okay, why are they in my room?" Kara asks.
"Uh hello we had a whole text about it last night." Zee said showing her phone.
"Whatev." Kara said.
"Please, Kara! You simply cannot flake on me now! This is my very first paid performance as a solo magician, and I need you to care for my two little lovelies while I'm away." Zee said.
"Can't you just take them with you or have Sam watch them? Aren't they, you know, part of your act or something?" Kara asks.
"Sam's gonna be on stage with me and frankly the way Faang is looking at them is a little creepy." Zee points to Sam's pocket and they saw Faang drooling at the sight of them.
"Bunnies make very good jerky." Faang said.
"To be fair rabbits are a main part of a wolf's diet." Sam said putting Faang back inside.
"Not to mention these are magical rabbits, my dear. They might be a bit much for a children's birthday party. Now, where can I put them?" Zee asks.
"I don't know, over there." Kara points to the dirty floor beneath them.
"On this floor? Ugh hold these." Zee said handing the rabbits to Kara and Sam as she got to cleaning. "Now, there are only a few simple rules to bear in mind. First, they must be given only organic vegetables, cut into segments of no larger than an inch cubed. And I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to limit the cruciferous vegetables, as little Blackberry Hazel von Hausle III has had some issues with stomach discomfort recently. Then of course, they'll need access to fresh water at all times, no cooler than 57 degrees Fahrenheit, that's around 13.5 degrees Celsius. Ooh, and very important, when it's time for their brushing—"
"Wait how long are you guys gonna be gone?" Kara asks.
"Can't be more than an hour." Sam said.
"Now as to the brushings. Three strokes gently to the left and five to the right." Zee said.
"Yeah, yeah I got it." Kara said as they were about to walk out.
"Oh there is one more rule." Zee said.
"Dude!" Kara groans.
"Even kwamis don't have this many rules." Faang said.
"This is the most important rule of all. You're not, under any circumstances to put these two together, understand?" Zee asks.
"Whatev." Kara brushes it off.
"Thank you, Kara! Mummy's gonna miss you lovelies. See you soon! Bye-ee!" Zee said as she and Sam left.
Yet right after they left they didn't realize Kara basically broke their rule in not even a minute.
At the park, Sam and Zee were setting up when he saw a banner.
"Happy Birthday Alix? Hmm wonder how the one in my world is doing?" Sam asks when a small figure zooms past him.
"Whoa, sorry. Still getting the hang of my skates." A female voice said.
Looking down Sam's eyes widen to see a 5-year-old version of Alix with roller blades, helmet and everything.
'No way.' Sam thought when he saw a kid with spiky blonde hair and a red shirt with a boy with dark skin and glasses in green.
"Hey Alix, wanna race? Max can time us?" Kim asks.
"You're on." Alix grins.
"On your mark get set go!" Max said as they raced around the park.
Looking around Sam saw all the kids at the party looked just like the teens from his world. He saw Rose, Juleka, even Nino.
"Wow." Sam said blown away.
"Sam, is everything alright?" Zee asks setting up.
"Uh Zee, when this is over you and I need to talk about something important." Sam whispers.
Zee looks at Sam and wondered what he meant.
"Alright will the birthday girl please step up for my first trick!" Zee said as Alix skated over to her stand. "Happy Birthday Alix, say what's this?"
Zee reaches behind her ear, but instead of a quarter, a little bunny appeared.
"Wow a bunny?" Alix smiles when Rose let out a gasp.
"Lots of bunnies!" Rose points as the whole park gets swarmed with little bunnies.
Popping their heads out Sam and Zee see Supergirl pop out in front of them.
"I'm guessing this is what happens if you let them out their cage?" Sam guesses.
"So…how's the show?" Supergirl asks.
"I told you to keep them apart!" Zee snaps.
"I did. I totally did, for, like, at least ten minutes." Supergirl said but Sam and Zee just glared at her. "Five…three minutes….one minute."
"Oh come on!" Sam and Zee said.
"Well what was I supposed to do?! They love each other!" Supergirl said.
"Exactly! That's the problem!" Zee said.
"Wow, what a cool Superman Costume." Nino said.
"This is not a Superman costume." Supergirl glares.
"Technically I think she qualifies as Supergirl." Max said.
"Uhh yes children, this is my co-assistant Supergirl." Sam said pulling her in and instantly Zee had an idea.
"Yes and now my assistants will help me with my next trick. Making these rabbits disappear!" Zee tosses one rabbit up and when it landed in her hat it disappeared.
Catching on Sam and Supergirl gathered up all the rabbits and threw them to Zee who caught them all in her hat emptying the park of all the rabbits.
"Tada!" Zee said as the three of them posed together causing the kid to cheer.
"Superman's sister is the best!" Nino cheered.
"Listen kid!" Supergirl glares pounding her fists together when they heard a loud rumbling.
"I don't like the sound of that." Sam gulps as they turned around and saw a massive tsunami of bunnies coming towards them with Zee's rabbits on the top.
"Oh no! They're still together!" Zee gasps.
"And they still love each other!" Supergirl gasps as the bunnies were about to come down on them.
"Hold me!" Zee panics clinging to Sam for dear life as the bunnies came down sending them flooding through the city.
Resurfacing Sam gasps for air as Zee had wrapped her arms and legs around him.
"Zee are you okay?" Sam asks.
"Not gonna lie, I kinda like this." Zee flirts when suddenly Supergirl resurfaced.
"I'm drowning in cuteness!" Supergirl said.
"I gave you one rule!" Zee said.
"No you didn't! You gave me like 500 rules!" Supergirl said.
"And you broke the only one that mattered!" Zee snaps.
"Kara why couldn't you leave them in their cages?" Sam asks.
"Why is Zee holding onto you like she wants to make out with you?" Kara asks as Sam and Zee look at each other and blush.
"Don't change the subject!" Zee said.
"How was I supposed to know that Harry Houdini was a girl?!" Supergirl asks.
"Harry what? How dare you! Those rabbits are purebred magical creatures with carefully selected names. They are not to be mentioned in the same breath as Merlin and Harry Houdini!" Zee snaps as she ended up pushing Sam down into the bunnies so she could glare Supergirl in the face.
"My names are way better!" Supergirl snaps as Sam pushes up to breathe.
"Forget about the names! We have to stop them!" Sam said.
"He's right, the only way to stop magical rabbits is with magic itself." Zee said.
"Alright Zee, ready?" Sam asks.
"Let's do this." Zee nods as she and Sam dived under the bunnies.
"Faang, Teeth Out!" Emerging from the bunnies were Silver Claw and Zatanna in their supersuits.
"ince the cause of all this is the love between Blackberry Hazel von Hausle III and Dandelion Pipkin de Heisenplay." Zee said.
"Merlin and Harry Houdini." Supergirl corrects.
"Then I will simply have to cast a hate spell to drive them apart." Zatanna said reciting a spell causing all the bunnies to gather in one area. Smiling everyone thought they were saved until the bunnies gathered together to form a giant bunny-shaped monster. "I may have worded that spell wrong."
"Ya think!" Silver Claw said.
"I couldn't handle them when they were a million tiny bunnies, but one giant monster? No problem." Supergirl grins flying towards the monster to punch it but the bunnies moved out of the way causing her to fly through it. "Aw come on! Let me punch you!" Supergirl keeps up the attacks but kept missing as the bunnies moved out of the way.
Suddenly the monster grabbed her in its giant hand.
"Supergirl!" Silver Claw gasps before jumping off the building and slashes the hand causing the monster to drop her.
"Whoa!" Supergirl screams when Silver Claw caught her bridal style before landing safetly on the ground.
"Hey you okay?" Silver Claw asks.
"What? Uh yeah that was a cakewalk, but uh could you put me down now?" Supergirl asks nervously as Silver Claw put her down.
"Physical attacks won't work on it." Silver Claw said.
"That area has to be where my rabbits are." Zatanna said pointing to the chest.
"Alright, Supergirl I'm gonnna give you one chance. Be ready to fly." Silver Claw said.
"What's the signal?" Supergirl asks.
"Moon call!" Silver Claw's bracelet glowed as he took a deep breath and released a sonic howl blowing away the bunnies making the chest area to reveal both of Zee's rabbits in the shape of a heart.
Using this opening Supergirl flew in and grabbed them.
"Quick! You have to separate them!" Zatanna yells.
"But...but they love each other." Supergirl said.
"Seriously?!" Zatanna yells.
"Just do it!" Silver Claw snaps.
Seeing she had no choice Supergirl used all her strength to pry the two rabbits apart making the monster disappear leaving only the two rabbits.
As she lands, Zatanna looks to the crowd and pulls her and Silver Claw in. "Uh Ta da!" Instantly everyone applauds them.
At the hideout in Sweet Justice, the rabbits were in cages as Sam was showing Marinette, Zee, Diana, Jessica, Karen and Barbara the pictures he took today.
"You see these are our friends from our world and these are the kids I saw at the party." Sam explains showing the kid and teenage versions of them.
"I don't believe this." Marinette gasps.
"What does it mean?" Diana asks.
"Well maybe since there were versions of Ladybug and Silver Claw here before there must also be different versions of people from your world in our world." Barbara explains.
"And apparently in our case, some are kids?" Jessica guesses.
"Apprarently." Marinette said.
"What do you think Kara? Kara?" Diana turns around to see Kara taking the rabbits out of their cages and hugging them.
"Kara!" Sam and Zee took the rabbits out of her hands and put them in their cages.
"Hey what gives?" Kara asks.
"Seriously Kara? After all the trouble you still haven't learned something?" Marinette asks.
"I really don't wanna deal with another bunny problem anytime soon." Sam said.
"They're right Kara after what you did Blackberry Hazel von Hausle III, and this is Dandelion Pipkin de Heisenplay I can't allow this catastrophe to happen again." Zee said.
"Their names are Merlin and Harry Houdini!" Kara snaps when Tikki and Faang flew out.
"Hold on ladies, maybe you should just let Sam, Marinette, Faang and I watch the rabbits from now on." Tikki suggests.
"I agree Tikki, you guys might be the best choices." Zee smiles petting Tikki with her index finger.
"So as for how to care for Blackberry Hazel von—ugh I'm sorry Zee can we stick with calling them Merlin and Harry Houdini, please?" Sam asks.
"Oh, of course, you can darling. You're free to call them whatever you like." Zee blushes softly letting out a giggle.
"What?! He can call them Merlin and Harry Houdini but I can't?! That is so unfair!" Kara snaps.
"For Starters, he asked nice and politely while you were rude and disrespectful. Besides I trust Sam completely." Zee said leaning in and hugging him causing Sam to blush while Marinette look at them in shock and glared at her.
"I'LL SHOW YOU." Kara cracks her knuckles.
"Kara that's enough you should be thankful Zee is letting us call them by the name you gave them." Faang said.
"Whatev. I'm going back home." Kara said walking out.
Marinette looks over and saw Zee being all lovey dovey with Sam and she couldn't help grind her teeth at this. 'Now I gotta figure out how to deal with her.'
