There once was a bunny that had a sweet tooth for cakes and honey. She loved them to the point that they made her cheeks puffy and turned her tummy a tad bit fluffy. All this led to a small(maybe a big) weight gain, which made the islanders of Easter Island make Chubby Bunny her name. Although, she ran and tried her hardest, the weight would not come off like a cursed harness. Oh my, she thought. What’s a girl gotta do? I want to look like Miss Kylie Jenner too! Is it too much to ask? Can I never lose this weight? Why oh why must I indulge myself in hot plates? Yet, these feelings would pass. Her sadness would always end, because of the love of her wonderful friends. She smiled and bore her misfortune all in good health, because she had a personality of gold that no one could melt(at least that’s what she told herself). However, as the Easter Ball came she longed to meet her prince, who would give her true love’s kiss without a trace of a wince. Alas, Chubby Bunny who had never been kissed could only imagine the White Rabbit to be her one and only prince. He was white with red eyes and wore all the latest clothes; he even kept a watch since he had many places to go. She was hopelessly devoted to the beautiful young lad, even when he tortured her for fun or a laugh. Her friend Rachel Rabbit could not take it anymore as she said “CB ain’t no one got time for him. He’s bad news, so wipe off your silly grin.”
“Oh, but you don’t know him like I do. It’s just that I want that white fluffy knight to be my first kiss, because from him I think it’d be total bliss. A kiss of pure love underneath, with no squirming tongues or clashing teeth. A kiss that gives me a lovely hazy feeling, that to have anybody else would be unfulfilling. At that moment I want it to be just him and I, knowing that without the other we’d just die.”
“What the hop did you just say? You sound crazy baby!”
Then one day came Chubby Bunny’s chance, and she worked up the courage to ask White Rabbit to the dance. “You must be joking, jiving, or kidding to think I’ll go with a girl of your fitting. I am lean, muscular and brawn while you’re…”
“Fluffy, sweet, and cute overall.”
“No,” White Rabbit said. “More like an inactive ball.”
“But I’m active, I swear.I always play to impress. ”
“Evidently, you’re not even active enough to fit comfortably in your own dress.”
“Shut the hop up!” yelled a voice overhead. Then Dark Bunny came out from munching grass with his friends in the hedge.
“How about you go, you’re all hopped up. Go back to munching on your grass Dark Bunny and learn to shut up before I beat you up.”
“No, White Rabbit I heard your insults overhead now apologize or I will fight you to the death. Plus, I would not speak about activeness, because I hear your activities are one big mess. Everyone has seen you active and playing with the junkyard trash. if I was you I’d go check to see if I have a rash.”
As White Rabbit apologized CB was so dismayed she did not thank Dark Bunny, but ran away. She was heartbroken about the way things turned out. How could she show her face at the dance now?
In a forest she chose to weep, until a fairy put her to sleep. In her dreams the fairy said, “Go to
Dr. Skin’s he’ll make you thin.” Chubby Bunny awoke to find the path to Skin’s and journeyed for days in a state of daze trying to make her way. There were twists there were turns. A fire breathing dragon that tried to give her magic mushrooms and a perm. However, she trekked through her journey and found an office at the end of the path.
“Are you Mr. Skin?” she asked as she came up to a cat..
“Yes, I sent the fairy to you in your craze, but your overdue thirty days”
“I walked as fast as I could, but was distracted by the grass and mushrooms, so all seemed far away…”
“But I’m only 30 minutes away? Never mind that we have no time. No more time for your cute little rhythms, now put this ring around your waist I mean hand and you’ll be the skinniest bunny in all the land.”
She tried the band on and to her surprise all the fluff had gone along with her big round thighs. Then off to the ball Chubby Bunny in a carriage she went, wearing a fine neon yellow dress Dr. Skin had lent. She was last to arrive, fashionably late, and all the girls looked at her in hate. For she was the best, the brightest, the belle of the ball, and no man could resist her charms at all. Among these men was the White Rabbit, who CB adored by her curious habit. As they danced the night away she felt the romance, and felt that this moment was her chance. She leaned in and he did too, but the kiss did not feel true. It was icky and sticky just a little too wet, and frankly not at all what you expect. He got a little grabby as his hands headed south, so Chubby Bunny pushed him away from her mouth. As White Rabbit tried to hop on her end Dark Bunny popped a cap upside his head. He said he was done and was about to walk out. ‘Please Don't leave,” Chubby Bunny cried out. “Do me a favor, grant me this. Give me the bliss of one teeny tiny kiss”
“Okay I’ll give you this” he said. “However, I prefer my women well fed”
With that she took off her ring and grew plump as she burst from her seams. Then they kissed and felt the magic she dreamt of in her dreams. For Chubby Bunny had finally found herself a true king and learned that she was a true queen. Cause a queen is a queen no matter the size. Anyone that tells you different can get out of your life.
