She led us off to a section of back rooms where we were each assigned an attendant then where separated into private rooms. Most high end places like this had some one of your gender and species on staff because full body trims required you to get naked I stud in the small room and stripped as the female rabbit I had been assigned grabbed the trimmers.
‘And she was bighting her lower lip crap it’s happening again.’ I thought as she started to shear off my fluff I tried to ignore it as she worked and felt her lay a hand on my ass. And again, I tried to ignore it and continue she soon finished and led me over to a tub on the other side of the room and help me wash the trimmed fur luckily there where rules with this stage and no touching was a big one all she could do was hose me down.
‘god I hated doing this, but it takes two to do this sort of thing and I have no other option’ I thought as I got out and into a full body fur dryer and within seconds was dry and warm. I then wrapped myself in a robe and grabbed the basket that held my belongings and went to one of the stylist chairs. Where my fur that would normally be exposed was cut and styled. My paws rubbed, and claws trimmed I had to admit this part I liked unfortunately it soon ended to soon in my opinion. But after they had finished I was led back to the small room to get dressed. Once I was finished I walked out to meet up with Sam who looked cleaned and refreshed and a lot less scruffy. To my miner amusement it took me speaking to her to get her to recognize me.
“So Sam how do I look.” I said enjoying her reaction.
“You weren’t kidding you look completely different.” She said as I turned to look at myself in the mirror and had to admit the change was dramatic. With my fluff I looked like most soft/wider build doe’s but without it I had a thin and compact build except for the common round hips us female rabbits had but I felt mine rode a little higher and wider but heck maybe I just have size issues. I turned around to get a better look at Sam.
‘I had to admit they had done a really good job on her and had they painted her claws blue?’ I smiled and turned to the counter and it was the female rabbit I had been assigned as an attendant. She rang me up $137 for the two of us I hated how expensive it was but again I didn’t have many other options. I sighed and paid and not surprisingly on the back of my reseat was her phone number and a note.
‘Call me and lets have a little fun fluffy.’ And under the note was a heart with two crossed Venus symbols in it. I had walked out before letting my displeasure at the note show and of cores Sam noticed and asked. “What’s wrong?”
I sighed and held up the back of the reseat and watched as she read it and started to blush.
“Does this happen often?” sam asked tentatively.
“Way more often then I’d like and other them my mother sisters and ants I never met a female rabbit that wasn’t effected hmm I’m honestly surprised you haven’t tried anything.” I said teasing her a little.
“What I no I I I mean I’d be lying if I said you weren’t attractive but I’m not into girls sorry pleas no i” Sam said rapidly panicking a little and starting to jibber.
“Relax I’m not either though I’d have to say I’ve thought the same about you but you’re not my type to big not a rabbit wrong gender now I’ll say I’m not against the hole mixing genders and species thing but it’s just not my kind of thing.” I said casually interrupting her.
“But with what you and Fred said I thought?” She said sounding very confused and a little thrown off balances.
“Yeah I get that sort of thing a lot most assume because I attract females so easily that I’d act on their advances but all they ever seem to want from me is sex it’s not love. This whatever it is causes lust and in all honest I’d much rather be rid of it.” I said with a sigh as we reached the car and got in.
“Oh, hmm ok but way I mean you could have whoever you want male or female way not take you pick and settle down.” Sam said like that was the most obvious thing in the world and every females goal.
“Who says I want to settle down I’m happy the way things are and have worked to hard to get where I am to throw it all away. And as for take my pick I hate that phrase it implies that ether you aren’t worthy or can’t go after the mammal you like because some unwritten rule of etiquette or whatever says you can’t. I’ve always felt that you should try for who you like rules and rank or etiquette be damned well as long as it is not illegal, or you aren’t forcing yourself on the other that is.” I said driving us to the rainforest district.
“Well I um wow I um never well hmm since I was a kitten everyone told me I need to find a successful mate and settle down have a litter or two and let him take care of me and I’ve never really thought beyond that hmm ether you’re the wisest or weirdest bunny I’ve ever met” she said with a little chuckle before slipping into her own thoughts again.
“I think it’s a bit of both I’m definitely not normal not even close.” I said before we finish the car ride in silences. Ten minutes later we arrived at the server bank in the rainforest district.
“Um what’s this place.” Sam asked following me in.
“Well though the computer services branch is owned by Lilac and suns the servers are and services are used by all companies owned or operated with in connection with the Lilac name along with a handful of companies that rent our services. So there has to be more than just that one little server building where we work I mean just the basic infrastructure needed to support such a massive system wouldn’t fit in that one building. So the system is divided between seven other buildings like this one scattered throughout the city and that’s not even counting command where we work and Lilac and suns private connection and server bank. And as for why we are hear part of my job is to check into these locations from time to time and today I needed to do so because I’ve put it off for about as long as I can” I explained exited the car.
After that we headed in to the building but unlike the building I worked in this one had a guard at the door. As well as an attendant in a waiting room but as this but all of was hear because it also housed a small business office and was the business front for the branch. I kept trying to convince my father the owner of Lilac and suns to brake the branch off into its own company. but he’s never shown any signs of doing so. Sam would have had to show her id to get in but as she didn’t have any that was another thing I’d have to fix I had managed to get her a guest pass. The only reason I was even able to do that was because I was the second highest authority figure in the company. I was only out ranked by my father anyone else other than my father who tried that would be escorted off premises or have the Z.P.D. called on them.
“I’m sorry about all this.” Sam said apologetically.
“It’s ok it wasn’t your fault that some asshole mugger attacked you.” I said patting her on the back and leading her into the building.
“So, um what do we do hear.” She said looking around at the building.
“We need to meet with the manager hear she actually an old friend of DUCK!” I said lowering my head and ears as a fruit bat crashed into Sam.
“Maybe I should have said bat you two ok?” I chuckled a little and asked Sam and my old friend and former college roommate Juniper.
“Yeah I’m ok um hold on one second Sanderson turn that damn heater fan off at least when I’m hear that’s the third time this week its blown me off cores!” She yelled at one of her subordinates and jump up and off Sam and into the air before half gliding half falling to landing next to me.
Before turning to us and mumbling. “Why the hell does a camel want to live in the rainforest anyways?”
As I helped Sam up juniper wasn’t big enough to do any real damage to Sam when she had crashed into her. though if she had hit me maybe it leave a mark and nock me over but with Sam it only managed to nock her over onto her ass. “how about you Sam you ok.” I asked as Sam dusted herself off.
“Yeah I’m ok though a little shaken up.” Sam said looking at juniper with a funny look in her eyes that I couldn’t place but something about that made the word predatory come to mind.
“Anyways Sam this is juniper the friend I mentioned before and juniper this is Sam my new friend and secretary.” I said introducing the two.
“Pleasure to meet you.” Juniper said extending a claw to shake Sam’s paw.
Sam cautiously excepted and said. “Um same.”
“Good now that you two have met I need this month’s reports juniper.” I said heading toward junipers office.
Sam followed me as juniper took flight to lead the way. As we walk there an elephant bumped a tower computer that she had on her desk and had been working on. It fell off and would have landed right on Sam. At that moment it again happened I acted without thinking I jumped and rebounded off a nearby desk I then collided with the computer in midair. And then put all the strength I could muster in my legs and kicked off the tower as hard as I could sending the tower flying into the wall and smashing it. I then braced to fall to the floor but to my surprise Sam caught me but she over balanced and fell on her back. I laid there panting for about a half a second before I felt Sam’s arms wrap around me as she hugged me close. I felt her quiver in shock and fear of what had just happened as the other mammals rushed over to check on us. Now I know a computer falling on someone sounds like it wouldn’t be that dangers but as it was a large class computer and as a medium was about as big as me or Sam and in some cases heavier then both of us. So now try doubling the size of that then you realize that if it had landed on her it would have crushed her well either that or it would have caused severe injuries. And that’s if the impact didn’t kill her first.
“Are you two ok?!” juniper asked worriedly rushing over to the two of us
“Yeah I think so Sam’s a little shaken up, but I don’t think she got harmed” I said as Sam sat up suddenly and still holding me like a kit would a stuffed toy.
“I think I’m going to be sick I don’t feel so I I I!” She had said panicking as the impact of what had just happen hit her then her eyes rolled back in her head and she passed out.
“Sam!!” I said as she fell back and dropped me.
“Help me get her to a chair or something!” I said trying to lift her and though she wasn’t that heavy, she was just too big and limp for me to lift.
One of the larger mammals picked her up and took her to junipers office and set Sam down in a chair as juniper got Sam a cup of water and I tried to bring her around. After a few minutes Sam finally woke up.
“Finally, um now focus on my voice and stay calm.” I said as juniper handed her the cup.
And after she took a few sips Sam asked. “Um what happened?”
“Long story short you passed out after you nearly got hurt.” I said carefully I didn’t want her getting all worked up again and passing out again.
“Hmm um Lilly did did you just save my life.” Sam ask sounding almost afraid of the answer.
“Um yes I thank so though there was a chance of survival it wouldn’t have been good for you though even if you would have lived it would have left you crippled and broken for the rest of your life.” I said sadly because I was lying to her and giving her the probable best case.
“I I honestly don’t know what to say thank you seems like it’s too little, but I can’t think of anything else I mean I ow my life to you I just.” She said desperately searching for words.
“Look just forget about it its nothing special it’s not like it’s even the first time I’ve done it either.” I said trying to get off the subject.
“What do you mean it’s not the first time?” Sam asked shocked and slightly confused.
“Didn’t the doctors tell you when you landed on me I greatly cushioned the fall if you would have hit the ground you would have likely broken your skull open. I think there also a few jokes about how you were able to hit a target that small or how luckily where that you hadn’t landed on a porkpie and or some joke about how fluffy I was.” I said continuing to try and change the subject.
“No, they didn’t tell me about that I I didn’t know.” Sam said sounding a little shell shocked.
“Um what are you two talking about.” Juniper asked worriedly.
I sighed and ran my paw over my ears pushing them back only to have them pop back up but only half way and crooked before they just fell back before I said. “I’ll have to call you later and explain I’d rather not have to with Sam in the room.”
“ok well talk later then.” She said giving me a concerned look.
I calmed Sam down as juniper filed the report then got me the reports I need for the months review but as we went to leave I spotted the elephant who had nearly hurt/killed Sam. I wanted to hit her but I knew it wasn’t done on purpose but as if she was trying to make it worse.
I heard her as she whispered to her friends. “This is way we shouldn’t have to work with the tinies they should stick them somewhere small and out of the way and where they won’t cause problems I mean just look what happened today plus it not like they can do the job as well as us larger mammals especially with their tinies brains”
‘Ok that’s it she’s going to get it I can’t punch her for he opinion, but I can prove her wrong.’ I thought as I jumped up onto the desk and pulled an old parlor trick I have used one to many time.
I focused on the anger I had always boiling under the surface and had learned long ago to control and brought it to the surface and then pushed it out as I radiated pure rage in a way that tripped almost every mammals flight instinct. Though if you where to look at me from another room I’d just look eerily calm but to anyone in the room I would look well like a rabbit and their worst nightmare. I’ve heard it described as complete extreme and unexplainable terror.
“First off best not to gossiped like that when your bosses bosses bosses is in the room and can easily hear you. Second your entitled to your opinion but note that opinion was related to a coworker you nearly just accidently killed or extremely injured and you need to take your size and ability into consideration and be responsible for them instead of complaining about other mammal’s differences now I’d take that in to consideration as I add sizes class bigotry comment to your company record and I hope this doesn’t happen again.” I said calmly before I hopped off her desk letting the rage ebb and ending my little trick.
