It is set in the isolated little town of Sandleford, starring a young rabbit named Hazel who is forced to basically raise his little brother Fiver following the death of their mother and the ensuing depression of their father. ", "writing": "One summer morning, after the family had finished morning silflay and father had left for work, Hazel decided that today was a good day to spend outside. He would set up the sprinkler and the wading pool for Fiver to play in, and maybe bring out the potty chair he had bought for Fiver in hopes of introducing the subject of using the potty as they went along. At least if Fiver went in the grass he wouldn't have to clean it up.\n\nLooking around, he found the toddler quietly playing with his toys in the living room. ``Little brother?'' Hazel called in a chipper voice.\n\nFiver's head spun around and he greeted Hazel with a smile. \n\n``Little brother, we're going to play outside in the pool today!'' Hazel declared.\n\n``Yaay!'' Fiver clapped his paw with glee.\n\nHazel placed his paws on Fiver's shoulders, ``Do you think you can do me a favour?'' he asked.\n\nFiver nodded eagerly.\n\nHazel gestured at the stairwell, ``Can you go upstairs, and find your bathing suit? It's red, in your top left drawer.''\n\nFiver nodded.\n\n``And can you also find mine? It's green, in the top right drawer in my room.''\n\nFiver nodded again. \n\nHazel thought a little: ``And could you also grab us two beach towels? You know where they are in the linen closet, right? Do you?''\n\nFiver nodded a third time, pleased at the chance to help his brother.\n\n``Then hop to it, while I get everything set up!'' ordered Hazel.\n\nWith a squeal Fiver toddled off to the stairs. In truth Hazel had no idea if Fiver could accomplish the task or not, but it would keep his brother occupied for a few minutes while he got the pool and sprinkler set up in the yard. Stepping out the back door of the house Hazel made his way to the garage. He went in the side door and saw it on the other side of the room amidst the usual shelves and boxes of memorabilia and junk: a blue plastic wading pool. He didn't need to blow it up, he could just fill it and go.\n\nHe collected the pool and laid it down in the middle of the house's fenced backyard. It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. Then he turned on the garden hose and used it to start filling the pool, and while that was going on he set up two lawn chairs on the deck near the pool, and got out the sprinkler fixture as well in case Fiver wanted to play in it too. Finally he went back inside to the downstairs bathroom from which he grabbed two things: a bottle of sunscreen (most of rabbits' skin was covered by fur, but their noses and the insides of their ears were sensitive to sun), and a blue potty chair with the price tag still attached from the cupboard. He put it all outside, and now it was time for Fiver. ``Little Brother!'' He called up the stairs. ``Fiver, have you got everything?''\n\n``Jutht a minit!'' Fiver called back. Hazel grinned broadly at how cute Fiver's response sounded. Soon he heard foot thumps, and then he saw Fiver pummeling down the stairs, clutching a red and a green bathing suit in his paws.\n\nHazel was impressed, ``Well done Fiver, you did it!'' He held up the suits to verify they were the right ones, and gave Fiver a fatherly little tussle on his ears. ``But there's one problem: where are the towels?''\n\n``Oops!'' Fiver realized he had forgotten and raced back up the stairs, and Hazel followed him this time. On the way to the linen closet they passed Hazel's room, and Hazel noticed that most of the contents of his underwear drawer were now on the floor from Fiver throwing them out while looking for the trunks. Still, he had found them.\n\nFiver opened the door to the linen closet, and began to make a long search for the towels: ``Ummm...'' he hummed while searching and pointing with his finger. Hazel saw the towels immediately, but chose to let Fiver find them himself.\n\n``Here dey are!'' Fiver grabbed the towels in triumph and presented them to Hazel. Hazel beamed with pride, ``Good job! Good job!'' He applauded while clapping. Fiver beamed with delight at his brother's praise.\n\n``Now come on, let's get you into your suit!'' said Hazel. Fiver nodded and led the way to the nursery. Once inside, Hazel noticed that Fiver's floor was distinctly clear of discarded clothing, indicating he had found his own suit immediately. ``Alright, can you get yourself undressed?'' Hazel asked Fiver.\n\nFiver nodded eagerly and lifted up the bottom of his shirt, trying to take it off. He struggled blindly with the shirt over his head trying to get it off, Hazel standing by and enjoying the show. He could have helped anytime, but Fiver had to learn to do it himself. After a couple minutes Fiver finally got the shirt off. ``There!'' he stated proudly.\n\nHazel nodded approvingly. ``Now your shorts, can you pull down your shorts?''\n\nThe shorts were much simpler, for they were elastic-waisted. Fiver simply gripped the waistband and pulled the shorts off his body. He stepped out of them, and was now dressed in only a diaper.\n\n.\n\n``Now the diaper, can you take off your diaper?'' Hazel knew that if Fiver went into the pool in a diaper, it would be full to bursting with water in five minutes. \n\n``Umm...'' Fiver felt around the front of the diaper with his paws, and then his claws felt the tabs and he pulled them one at a time and the diaper fell to the floor. ``There!'' proudly beamed the now-naked toddler.\n\nHazel had to chuckle at Fiver's innocence and total lack of embarrassment at being naked. Normally he was a shy, timid boy, often covering himself whenever their father tried to bathe or change him, but around Hazel he had no such shame. Hazel felt a little proud at being the rabbit his brother was most comfortable around. He held up the shorts, ``Can you step into these?''\n\nHolding onto his brother's shoulders for support Fiver stepped into the swim shorts one leg at a time and Hazel pulled them up. He tied the drawstring, pulled his brother's tail through the hole in the back, and Fiver was all ready.\n\n``Just give me a minute and we'll go,'' Hazel said as he pulled down his own shorts and underwear and put on his green bathing suit, and then pulled off his T-shirt. He put the still-clean diaper in a pile to reuse later and then picked up the towels. ``Okay, let's hit the pool!''\n\n``Yay!'' Fiver cheered and toddled out of the room towards the stairs. Hazel followed him, ready to catch the toddler should he trip, but Fiver made it down without a hitch. He waddled down the hall, through the kitchen, and out the sliding glass door. ``Hold on!'' Hazel called out. Fiver immediately and obediently halted, and Hazel took the moment to apply some sunscreen on brother's nose and inside his ears. Once he was done and ensured it was all rubbed in, he gave his brother the all-clear: ``Alright, time to go in.''\n\n``YAAAYYY!'' Fiver cheered as he ran over and jumped into the pool with a splash.\n\nKeeping an eye on Fiver Hazel applied sunscreen to himself and put on some sunglasses and laid down on the deck chair, getting some sun while supervising. It made him so happy to see Fiver splashing around and making all sort of squeals of delight at being wet and cool in this hot summer heat.\n\nSome minutes later Hazel was thirsty and knew Fiver likely was now as well, so he slipped into the kitchen and kept watching Fiver through the window while preparing them some drinks. He pulled a chilled bottle of water out of the fridge, and then a picnic thermos out of the cupboard and poured in some water, ice, and lemonade mix. He shook it all together and tasted it, and deemed it ready.\n\n``Fiver, lemonade!'' He called out the window, and walked out to the deck with the thermos and two plastic cups.\n\n``Yay! Lemyade!'' Fiver cheered and climbed out the pool and toddled over, his waterlogged swimsuit dripping everywhere. Hazel poured him a cup and Fiver gulped it down eagerly. ``More, please!'' he asked sweetly. Hazel chuckled with pleasure at Fiver's manners, and refilled his cup, which Fiver downed eagerly while Hazel sipped his. ``Are you having fun so far?'' Hazel. \n\n``Yeah!'' Fiver answered enthusiastically, keen to get back in the water.\n\nThen suddenly Fiver's face clenched, and he let out a grunt and started. Hazel recognized the signal. ``Hold on Fiver, come on!'' He quickly put down their cups and led Fiver over to the nearby potty chair. And then he pulled down Fiver's swimsuit and sat him down on the potty on the grass. ``Now, push!'' Hazel ordered.\n\nFiver squirmed and pushed with all his might, his toes clenching in the grass, and then after a minute he was done. He panted a little as Hazel tilted him forward to look: Fiver had indeed passed a considerable amount of hraka. ``Congratulations Fiver, you did it!'' Hazel praised, ``You just went potty for the very first time!''\n\n``What's a potty?'' Fiver asked in confusion.\n\n``What you are sitting on, this is a potty,'' Hazel tapped the blue plastic side, it's a little toilet, that's what grown-ups and big kits use when they have to pee or pass hraka, like you just did.''\n\n``Pass hraka means go potty?'' Fiver asked.\n\n``That's right! Don't go away, stay right there, I'll be right back!'' And Hazel raced back into the house while leaving a confused Fiver sitting on the potty with his swimsuit around his ankles. Hazel returned with a box of wipes, and tilted Fiver forward to clean his bottom. ``There, look at what you made!'' Hazel said in an encouraging tone.\n\nFiver turned around to look, his suit still around his ankles, and looked into the potty in astonishment. ``I made dat?''\n\n``That's right!'' said Hazel, getting into the swing of things now, ``Normally you go in diapers, but now that you're getting older I think you're ready to start being a big kit, are you ready to be a big kit? Are you?''\n\n``Big kit! Big kit!'' Fiver clapped, responding to Hazel's praise. Hazel beamed at him; maybe this wouldn't be so hard after all.\n\n``Now, we have to flush it. Stand up,'' Fiver obeyed, and Hazel lifted his legs to make him step out of the swimsuit, leaving the toddler completely naked. ``Can't have this dripping in the house,'' said Hazel, hanging the suit over one of the chairs in the sun. Then he picked up the potty, ``Follow me!'' \n\nHe carried the potty into the house, his perplexed naked brother following him closely. Hazel led him into the bathroom, and showed the Fiver the motions of dumping the hraka in the toilet, flushing it, and then rinsing the potty out in the sink.\n\n``You see it? Nothing to it!'' Hazel declared. ``You are going to be learning to do this from now on. Don't worry, I'll help you out every step out of the way. Now we wash our paws-``\n\nHe and Fiver washed their paws, ``And now we go out to play again!''\n\n``YAAAY!'' Fiver toddled through the house back to the yard, Hazel following him with the potty. Once outside he picked up Fiver's half-dried bathing suit from the chair, ``Okay, you want your suit back on, or do you just want to go naked?''\n\n``Go nakie!'' Fiver answered, and he hopped back into the pool naked as a jay. Hazel didn't care, it was just them around, and it would save a step if Fiver ever had to go again, which could be any minute given how much lemonade he had just drank. Plus, his brother had a very cute bottom.\n\n``If you ever feel funny, you tell me, understand?''\n\n``Yeth Hathel!'' Fiver responded, playing with his boat without a worry in the world.\n\nHazel beamed at his brother, and then laid back in the chair and watched him while sipping his lemonade. He knew there would be inevitable accidents along the way of this venture, but for the moment he was very proud of himself. He was only 12, and he was toilet training his brother as well as any adult could. He didn't know how well he could do with someone else's kits, but he knew Fiver and his quirks better than anyone, and he was very proud of how well he was doing taking care of him.\n\nFive minutes later Fiver suddenly stopped splashing, and a confused look came over his face. ``Hathel? I feel funny,'' he mumbled.\n\n``Quick, to the potty!'' Hazel urged, getting up from his chair. Fiver got out of the pool and started toddling over, but then he stopped halfway there, looked down, and peed on the grass between his feet.\n\n``I'm thowy, Hathel,'' Fiver mumbled, looking ashamed.\n\n``Oh, it's alright!'' Hazel said encouragingly, ``You did know that you had to go, and that's good, it means you're ready. You're doing great, little brother. Soon we'll have to buy you some big kit underwear.''\n\n``Like you wear?'' Fiver asked.\n\n``That's right, like I wear!'' Hazel beamed. He looked at the pool, which now looked very inviting considering how hot he was, and then he got up and jumped in himself. It was only a few inches deep, but that was enough to cool him down. Looking pleased Fiver got back in with him and the two brothers played in the water for the better part of an hour, thoroughly enjoying each other's company.\n\nWhen that hour was over a familiar feeling came over Hazel, and he quickly got up and started to dry himself off. \n\n``Where you going?'' Fiver asked.\n\n``I have to pee,'' Hazel answered, almost having to do a dance to hold it in.\n\n``Use the potty!'' Fiver urged, pointing at the blue potty in the grass. Hazel chuckled, ``No, that is too small for me. I need to use the toilet.''\n\n``Oh,'' then Fiver got out of the pool, ``Can I watch?''\n\nHazel was a little uncomfortable with the request, but he couldn't leave Fiver alone, and the book had suggested letting the toddler imitate a parent or older sibling in the bathroom, so he decided to set an example. ``Okay, but first you gotta dry off,'' he answered, and quickly ran Fiver's towel over the toddler's fur until he was reasonably dry and then led him by the paw into the house to the bathroom. \n\nThe two approached the toilet, ``Okay, I pull down the front of my shorts like this,'' he did as instructed, ``Then I hold my peepee like this,'' he did so, ``And then I aim it into the bowl like this and I let go!''\n\nAnd he stood before the toilet, and let loose a long stream of urine right before Fiver's wide and astonished eyes. Hazel had been naked around Fiver countless times before but he had never gone to the bathroom in front of him like that, which put a whole new level brotherly trust between them. \n\n``Wow... it's so much...'' Fiver gasped as Hazel kept going.\n\n``Yeah, I've been holding it for a while,'' Hazel replied. After a few more seconds he was finally done, and then he shook it, dabbed it with a tissue and pulled his shorts back up, and washed his paws. ``You want to try?'' he asked.\n\n``Okay!'' Fiver got into position in front of the bowl and held his peepee just as Hazel had, but then he frowned. ``Can't weach,'' he noticed.\n\n``Here, we have a stool right in here!'' Hazel reached into the cupboard and pulled out a footstool, ``Try standing on this!'' \n\nFiver did, aimed, squirmed a little, and then Hazel watched a little stream of urine flow out of Fiver into the bowl. Unfortunately some of it trickled along the edge of the bowl as it lessened and even a little got on the floor. ``Oops! I'm thowy, Hathel!'' Fiver whined.\n\n``Oh, it's okay! You might be just a little too small to do it like that,'' said Hazel. He went some tissues and cleaned up the mess, and then rubbed his brother's head affectionately, ``Good try, you'll get it next time.''\n\nMaking a mental note to buy a little toilet seat for Fiver next chance he got Hazel had Fiver wash his paws again, and then it was back to the pool, Fiver still stark naked. ``Want something to eat?'' Hazel asked.\n\n``Yeth pleath!'' Fiver called from the pool.\n\n``Perfect manners, little brother!'' Hazel called back, and then he set to fixing them some lunch, keeping one eye on Fiver through the window. He fixed a nice plate of sliced carrots, celery, sprouts, and both apple slices and blueberries for dessert because Fiver had been doing so well for his first day of potty training. He brought the plate out, ``Come and get it!''\n\n``Yay!'' Fiver hooped out of the pool, toddled over to the picnic table and sat down in his chair, still dripping. With a chuckle Hazel gave him a little toweling off and then laid the towel under Fiver's bare bottom.\n\n``After this you're taking a nap, okay?'' said Hazel, munching on a carrot.\n\n``Aww, no! Can't I swim a wittle more?'' Fiver pleaded through a mouthful of apple.\n\n``I'm sorry, but you do need to take a nap, or you'll be all tired through dinner,'' Hazel pointed out, ``But don't worry - you can swim some more after.''\n\n``Okay...'' Fiver's ears drooped but he didn't argue, ``Daddy coming for dinner?'' \n\n``Sorry, Father said he has to work late tonight,'' Hazel answered sadly, ``Tonight it's just you and me. But don't worry, we'll have our own fun.''\n\nAfter the meal was over Fiver stifled a yawn, and Hazel knew the time was right for a nap. He took their remaining flayrah and put it back in the fridge, then picked up the potty from the grass. ``Come on,'' he instructed, and he led Fiver back through the house and up the stairs to the nursery. As Fiver yawned and rubbed his eyes Hazel grabbed a diaper from the basket and unfolded it and began to put it on Fiver.\n\n``Why you doin' that?'' Fiver asked, standing still so Hazel could fasten the tabs at his sides, ``I go potty now, don't I?''\n\n``Just in case you need to go again while you're asleep,'' Hazel answered. He pointed at the potty on the floor, ``I'm going to nap with you. Then if you feel funny you wake me, and I'll help you go in there. The diaper is just in case you don't make it. Understand?''\n\n``Yeth, Hathel,'' Fiver answered.\n\n``Good!'' Hazel smiled and hugged Fiver. ``I'm so proud of you, little brother,'' He kissed Fiver on the head, ``This is only your first day and you're doing so well. At this rate you'll be going on your own in no time!''\n\nThen, hugging Fiver close to his chest he let himself fall backwards to flump onto Fiver's bed, carrying the toddler with him with a squeal. Then he laid down next to the wall and Fiver curled up next to him. Fiver kissed his nose, ``I luv you, Hathel.''\n\nHazel smiled warmly and kissed him back, ``I love you too.'' \n\nAnd soon both brothers were fast asleep.\n\n***\n\nAn hour later, Fiver slowly opened his eyes. He felt a familiar uncomfortable feeling down below, which he was starting to recognize as a sign. ``Hathel?'' he whispered.\n\nHazel slowly stirred, opening his eyes a little, ``Mm?''\n\n``I have to go potty.''\n\nIn an instant Hazel's eyes shot open and he was wide awake. ``Okay, just keep holding!'' He instructed. Quick as a flash he lifted Fiver off the bed, pulled off his diaper, and sat him down on the potty. ``Now, let go!'' he said. And with a little grunt Fiver did, and a trickle flowed out of him into the bowl. \n\nHazel was stunned. ``Wow, you did it! The book said you might have trouble feeling the urge when you're asleep, but you did it!'' He hugged the astonished Fiver around the shoulders, ``Ohh, I love you! Every time I think you cannot do better you do! You amaze me, little brother!''\n\nFiver looked so proud of himself. He was a sponge for praise, especially from his brother, and hearing Hazel's words made him light up like a Christmas tree. ``Back to the pool?'' he asked enthusiastically.\n\n``Absolutely, as soon as we wash out this potty, can you show me how to do it?'' Hazel asked.\n\n``Okay...'' Fiver looked a little unsure, but was eager to try. He stood, picked the potty up, and carried it to the bathroom with Hazel following him closely. Once inside Hazel lifted the toilet lid for him, and Fiver slowly poured the contents of the potty into the bowl, almost spilling only once before Hazel caught him. Then he stood on the stool at the sink and rinsed it out like Hazel showed him, and put it on the floor next to the toilet to dry.\n\n``Good job! Now back to the pool!'' Suddenly full of energy Hazel scooped Fiver up and carried him down the stairs, making deliberate little bounces to make Fiver laugh, and once they were outside he tossed Fiver into the wading pool and got in with him.\n\nThey carried on splashing in the water for almost an hour before Fiver got out and the two started playing on the grass instead. Together they did somersaults, handstands and playful chase and rough n' tough, Fiver still naked and Hazel wearing only his swimsuit. By the time the two were finally worn out they were both collapsed on the ground, giggling and considerably more dirty than they had been when they started. It had been a fun day for both of them, full of bonding and making big progress on Fiver's next phase of childhood, and they were very pleased with themselves.\n\n``Fiver,'' Hazel smiled at the toddler lying next to him, ``I'm so glad you're my brother.''\n\n``An' I glad too!'' Fiver declared, crawling onto Hazel's chest, ``I wish evwy bwuther was wike you. The world would be a better pwace.''\n\nDeeply touched Hazel hugged Fiver to his chest and nuzzled him with his nose, and then pressed their foreheads together. ``I love you, so much.''\n\nFiver hugged him tight, and they remained like that for almost a minute before Hazel finally began to stand up. ``I think we need a shower... we're both dirty and embly. That sound good? Then we'll have dinner.''\n\n``Okay,'' Fiver agreed. Hazel picked the kit up under his bottom and carried him back into the house, making sure to wipe his feet as he entered. He took Fiver upstairs to the bathroom and got the shower going, and then stripped off his bathing suit and they got in together.\n\nHazel quickly lathered himself first, rubbing the dirt and grass out of his fur, before he knelt down and began to wash Fiver. He gently rubbed soap into his ears, torso and limbs, using the extendable hose head to rinse him off. \n\n``Enh! Enh!'' Fiver suddenly yelped, clutching at his privates and doing a little dance.\n\n``Hold on Fiver, you can do it!'' Hazel yelled, recognizing the signal. Quickly he picked the soaking toddler up and out of the shower, and remembering a position from the book he held Fiver over the toilet by holding the toddler's thighs and positioning his back and head leaning against Hazel's chest. ``Okay, go!'' Hazel hissed.\n\nFiver grunted, and once again he peed into the bowl, safely suspended by Hazel's arms, his body dripping from the still-running shower. Once the stream had ended Hazel started to put him down, until Fiver gripped his arm and shook his head no. Hazel held him over again, Fiver squirmed and grunted, and then he passed a decent amount of hraka into the toilet right before Hazel's eyes, his body held in an ideal position for it by Hazel's comfortable arms.\n\nHazel was amazed yet again; Fiver had not soiled a single diaper since that morning, and it was almost 5 now. Fiver was still a ways away from doing this all on his own, but had made incredible progress in recognizing the signals and holding long enough to be taken to the toilet. Hazel remembered a section in the book that described incentivizing with rewards like candy or blueberries as very helpful, but Fiver didn't seem to need those things. Just Hazel's praise was enough.\n\n``Good job, little brother,'' he kissed Fiver's head, ``Good job.'' \n\nHe flushed the toilet with his foot, and then carried Fiver back into the shower. He used soap and a cloth to clean Fiver's bottom, and then he sat down and leaned against the shower's far wall to relax and let the water run over him. Fiver sat against him and curled up against his chest, and the two rabbits enjoyed the calming shower for a few minutes more before Hazel finally got up and turned the water off. The two got up, and Hazel dried them both off with towels and then the fur dryer.\n\n``Okay, I'm going to get dressed,'' Hazel said, picking up his discarded bathing suit, ``Would you like to put some clothes on, or keep going naked?''\n\n``Keep nakie!'' Fiver requested, having greatly enjoyed his day of being naked thus far.\n\n``Fine, naked it is,'' Hazel grinned, beaming at how much Fiver was enjoying himself. The book had had a section on the numerous benefits of letting toddlers have naked time, especially when potty training, and it was clear to see with Fiver. He was considering making it a daily thing, letting Fiver go naked all summer as long as it was just at home. It would save tons of laundry, improve his efforts at potty training, and enable Hazel to enjoy seeing Fiver's cute naked bottom all the time all in one.\n\nHe went to his room, letting Fiver watch while he dressed himself in his shirt and shorts from that morning, and then he led Fiver down to the kitchen for some evening flayrah. While the toddler played naked with his toys in the adjacent living room Hazel fixed a meal of celery, boiled potatoes and steamed carrots. ``Dinner!'' he called. Fiver eagerly toddled over, and Hazel set him on his plastic booster seat to eat. Once the meal was over and Fiver had been rewarded for his day's accomplishments with a bowl of fresh blueberries, Hazel washed the dishes and led Fiver outside. ``Little brother, can you help me clean this up?'' he gestured at the pool they had left out, and the discarded towels and other items they had left out in the yard.\n\n``Wha' can I do, Hathel?'' Fiver asked adorably.\n\n``I need you to help me lift the pool, so we can get the water out,'' Hazel answered. In truth Fiver had little strength and wouldn't have made much difference, but Hazel wanted to include him, ``And then while I put the pool away I want you to grab those towels and your suit and put them in the basket in the laundry room so I can wash them, can you do that?''\n\n``Aye, sir!'' Fiver gave him a salute, and both brothers gripped the edge of the pool and tilted it up, and all the water gushed out. \n\n``Yay! We did it!'' Hazel gave Fiver a high-five, ``Now the towels and suit,'' he pointed at the laundry items.\n\n``Okay!'' Fiver toddled over, collected the towels and his swimsuit, and disappeared into the house. Hazel rolled the blue pool out of the yard, through the gate, and into the garage. Closing the door behind him, he went back into the house and found Fiver in the laundry room, having successfully deposited the items in the laundry basket.\n\n``Good job, Fiver! Okay, what would you like to do next? Watch cartoons? Read a story?''\n\n``Umm... stowy!'' Fiver requested.\n\n``Okay, story it is, c'mon,'' Hazel took Fiver's paw, and led him up the stairs to the nursery. By now it was getting close to 7, almost time to put Fiver down for the night. On the way up the stairs Hazel realized that Fiver hadn't gone in a while and grabbed the blue potty out of the bathroom where they had left it, and they went into Fiver's room. Hazel gestured at the little bookshelf at the side wall, ``Okay, can you pick out something to read?'' \n\n``Ummm...'' Fiver waddled over to the bookshelf held his finger up to look at different titles, but he couldn't seem to make up his mind. Finally Hazel came over and suggested something: ``What about Dr. Zoos? Would you like Dr. Zoos?''\n\n``Um, okay!'' Fiver answered, and Hazel grabbed a few of the Dr. Zoos books off the shelf and sat down on Fiver's bed with them, leaning his back against the wall. Fiver got up with him and leaned into Hazel's side. Hazel affectionately put his arm around his brother, and began to read out loud.\n\nAfter reading a couple of books, Fiver let out a yawn. ``It's almost your bedtime, little brother,'' Hazel said, ``Why don't we go brush your teeth, and then I'll give you a nice massage, huh?''\n\n``Yeth pleath!'' Fiver eagerly agreed. Hazel closed and put the books away and led Fiver to the bathroom. He wet Fiver's toothbrush and brushed his teeth, and then brushed his own. As he did so, he realized that Fiver still hadn't gone potty in a long time. He wasn't giving any signals, but he had to be close.\n\n``Fiver...'' he whispered, ``Do you have to go potty?''\n\n``Mm...'' Fiver seemed to be considering it, ``Mm-hmm!''\n\nHazel steered him to the toilet and sat him down, supporting Fiver with his paws so the toddler wouldn't fall in. ``Okay, go!'' said Hazel.\n\nFiver clenched, and an impressive amount of urine flowed out of him, more than any he had released that day. Hazel was impressed yet again, noting Fiver was starting to hold it in for longer. He cleaned Fiver up a little and kissed him, ``That's a good boy,'' he whispered, ``That's a good boy.''\n\nAfter washing both their paws, the brothers left the bathroom and to the nursery. ``Okay, go ahead and lie down,'' Hazel pointed at the bed. Familiar with the routine Fiver climbed onto his bed and laid down on his stomach. Hazel decided there was no need for a changing pad beneath him, because the potty was right on the floor and Fiver was getting good at recognizing when he had to go. Slowly he approached the bed, bent down, and started massaging Fiver's back. \n\nFiver hummed and purred happily as Hazel worked up and down his spine and on his shoulders. He loved this routine so, and so did Hazel. It was one of their favorite moments of the day, setting aside a few minutes just to bond like this. Fiver never felt more safe and loved than he did under Hazel's gentle paws. Hazel worked his way down and started massaging Fiver's buttocks with his thumbs, then his legs, and then went up and started tenderly rubbing his ears, which always particularly got Fiver going, making him let out little squeaks of pleasure when Hazel did it right. This carried on for a few minutes before Hazel lifted his paws and signalled Fiver to turn over, and gazed fondly into his brother's face.\n\n``I love you,'' Hazel whispered, and kissed Fiver's head before starting to massage his stomach and chest. Finally he rubbed Fiver's feet, one at a time, until Fiver looked so relaxed and comfortable he was like limp spaghetti, his naked little body splayed across the bed and his eyes all but completely shut. Hazel got a diaper from the pile and lifted up Fiver's bottom to put it on him. Since it was a warm evening he decided to forgo pajamas and simply lifted the bed's blanket out from under his brother and laid it over him, tucking him in. He stroked his face fondly and kissed him. ``Goodnight Fiver.''\n\n``Night, Hathel,'' Fiver whispered, and then he was sound asleep.\n\nHazel smiled fondly, and got up to turn Fiver's nightlight on and then the lights off, and left the room. He stayed up a couple more hours doing housework and greeting their father when he came home from work and telling him the news about the day. But when Hazel was ready for sleep, instead of going to bed himself he returned to Fiver's nursery, opened the closet and pulled out a pillow and sleeping bag he kept there in case Fiver ever needed company at night. And if Fiver needed to use the potty in the middle of the night, Hazel was determined to be ready.\n\n***\n\nThe next morning Hazel woke up, blinking his eyes. He sighed and breathed deeply, and then remembered where he was: in Fiver's room. And judging from the smell coming from his brother's bed, he hadn't been aware of the need to go potty last night. From the light of the window Hazel guessed it was about 6 o'clock; maybe he could quietly change Fiver and let him sleep for a while longer. Slowly he got up and crawled over to the changing area where he grabbed a new diaper and the wipe box, and then to Fiver's bed where the kit lay fast asleep under the covers. Hazel gingerly pulled the blanket back to reveal Fiver's full form that was naked save for an evidently full diaper. Even though he knew the smell very well Hazel could not suppress a little wrinkle of his nose in disgust. Carefully he lifted Fiver up a little to roll him on his back, and Fiver began to stir a little.\n\n``Ha-thel...?'' Fiver croaked softly.\n\n``Shh, it's okay,'' Hazel whispered, ``Go back to sleep.'' And Fiver did.\n\nWith a bit of relief Hazel undid the tabs on Fiver's diaper and exposed his brother's hraka-covered bottom. Recoiling a little from the smell he used the front of the diaper to wipe off as much as he could, then finished the job with the wipes from the box. Clearly Fiver still had a ways to go for night training, but that was fine - this was only his second day of potty training. Finally Fiver was all clean, and resisting the urge to blow a raspberry on his brother's naked tummy Hazel rubbed some ointment on his bottom, and then with all his might, lifted Fiver's limp legs to slide the new diaper under him. It was heavier than usual, for Fiver usually helped with that; he was getting so heavy. Hazel taped the new diaper shut, and slowly moved Fiver back into a sleeping position and laid the covers over him again, and then left to clean up and wash his paws.\n\n***\n\nAn hour later, Hazel was downstairs tidying up the breakfast dishes (Father had to go to work again, and had quickly downed some food before running out the door), when he heard a thump and little footsteps from upstairs, signifying that Fiver was up. He heard thumps on the stairs, and then Fiver came into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes and dressed only in his diaper.\n\n``Good morning, Little Brother!'' Hazel greeted him, ``Did you sleep well?''\n\n``Uh-huh,'' Fiver replied, still looking half-asleep with droopy ears.\n\n``Do you have to go potty?'' Hazel asked.\n\n``Mm-mm,'' Fiver shook his head no.\n\n``Are you sure? May we just check?'' Hazel requested. Fiver nodded and Hazel led him to the nearby downstairs bathroom. He pulled Fiver's diaper down like underwear, lifted him up and perched him on the toilet. Fiver squirmed, but only a little urine came out of him; he needed fluids.\n\n``Alright, at least we got a little,'' said Hazel, pulling the diaper back up. He then led Fiver to the kitchen, filled a sippy cup with water and gave it to Fiver, which the toddler drank down eagerly. Hazel refilled the bottle and gave it right back, and soon Fiver's thirst was sated. Hazel then sat his brother in his high chair and set to work: ``Now, what would you like for breakfast?''\n\n``Um... corn fwakes!'' Fiver answered. Hazel nodded and turned to get cereal bowls for both of them, feeling that was going to be another good day of potty training.\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "One summer morning, after the family had finished morning silflay and father had left for work, Hazel decided that today was a good day to spend outside. He would set up the sprinkler and the wading pool for Fiver to play in, and maybe bring out the potty chair he had bought for Fiver in hopes of introducing the subject of using the potty as they went along. At least if Fiver went in the grass he wouldn't have to clean it up.

Looking around, he found the toddler quietly playing with his toys in the living room. ``Little brother?'' Hazel called in a chipper voice.

Fiver's head spun around and he greeted Hazel with a smile.

``Little brother, we're going to play outside in the pool today!'' Hazel declared.

``Yaay!'' Fiver clapped his paw with glee.

Hazel placed his paws on Fiver's shoulders, ``Do you think you can do me a favour?'' he asked.

Fiver nodded eagerly.

Hazel gestured at the stairwell, ``Can you go upstairs, and find your bathing suit? It's red, in your top left drawer.''

Fiver nodded.

``And can you also find mine? It's green, in the top right drawer in my room.''

Fiver nodded again.

Hazel thought a little: ``And could you also grab us two beach towels? You know where they are in the linen closet, right? Do you?''

Fiver nodded a third time, pleased at the chance to help his brother.

``Then hop to it, while I get everything set up!'' ordered Hazel.

With a squeal Fiver toddled off to the stairs. In truth Hazel had no idea if Fiver could accomplish the task or not, but it would keep his brother occupied for a few minutes while he got the pool and sprinkler set up in the yard. Stepping out the back door of the house Hazel made his way to the garage. He went in the side door and saw it on the other side of the room amidst the usual shelves and boxes of memorabilia and junk: a blue plastic wading pool. He didn't need to blow it up, he could just fill it and go.

He collected the pool and laid it down in the middle of the house's fenced backyard. It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. Then he turned on the garden hose and used it to start filling the pool, and while that was going on he set up two lawn chairs on the deck near the pool, and got out the sprinkler fixture as well in case Fiver wanted to play in it too. Finally he went back inside to the downstairs bathroom from which he grabbed two things: a bottle of sunscreen (most of rabbits' skin was covered by fur, but their noses and the insides of their ears were sensitive to sun), and a blue potty chair with the price tag still attached from the cupboard. He put it all outside, and now it was time for Fiver. ``Little Brother!'' He called up the stairs. ``Fiver, have you got everything?''

``Jutht a minit!'' Fiver called back. Hazel grinned broadly at how cute Fiver's response sounded. Soon he heard foot thumps, and then he saw Fiver pummeling down the stairs, clutching a red and a green bathing suit in his paws.

Hazel was impressed, ``Well done Fiver, you did it!'' He held up the suits to verify they were the right ones, and gave Fiver a fatherly little tussle on his ears. ``But there's one problem: where are the towels?''

``Oops!'' Fiver realized he had forgotten and raced back up the stairs, and Hazel followed him this time. On the way to the linen closet they passed Hazel's room, and Hazel noticed that most of the contents of his underwear drawer were now on the floor from Fiver throwing them out while looking for the trunks. Still, he had found them.

Fiver opened the door to the linen closet, and began to make a long search for the towels: ``Ummm...'' he hummed while searching and pointing with his finger. Hazel saw the towels immediately, but chose to let Fiver find them himself.

``Here dey are!'' Fiver grabbed the towels in triumph and presented them to Hazel. Hazel beamed with pride, ``Good job! Good job!'' He applauded while clapping. Fiver beamed with delight at his brother's praise.

``Now come on, let's get you into your suit!'' said Hazel. Fiver nodded and led the way to the nursery. Once inside, Hazel noticed that Fiver's floor was distinctly clear of discarded clothing, indicating he had found his own suit immediately. ``Alright, can you get yourself undressed?'' Hazel asked Fiver.

Fiver nodded eagerly and lifted up the bottom of his shirt, trying to take it off. He struggled blindly with the shirt over his head trying to get it off, Hazel standing by and enjoying the show. He could have helped anytime, but Fiver had to learn to do it himself. After a couple minutes Fiver finally got the shirt off. ``There!'' he stated proudly.

Hazel nodded approvingly. ``Now your shorts, can you pull down your shorts?''

The shorts were much simpler, for they were elastic-waisted. Fiver simply gripped the waistband and pulled the shorts off his body. He stepped out of them, and was now dressed in only a diaper.

.

``Now the diaper, can you take off your diaper?'' Hazel knew that if Fiver went into the pool in a diaper, it would be full to bursting with water in five minutes.

``Umm...'' Fiver felt around the front of the diaper with his paws, and then his claws felt the tabs and he pulled them one at a time and the diaper fell to the floor. ``There!'' proudly beamed the now-naked toddler.

Hazel had to chuckle at Fiver's innocence and total lack of embarrassment at being naked. Normally he was a shy, timid boy, often covering himself whenever their father tried to bathe or change him, but around Hazel he had no such shame. Hazel felt a little proud at being the rabbit his brother was most comfortable around. He held up the shorts, ``Can you step into these?''

Holding onto his brother's shoulders for support Fiver stepped into the swim shorts one leg at a time and Hazel pulled them up. He tied the drawstring, pulled his brother's tail through the hole in the back, and Fiver was all ready.

``Just give me a minute and we'll go,'' Hazel said as he pulled down his own shorts and underwear and put on his green bathing suit, and then pulled off his T-shirt. He put the still-clean diaper in a pile to reuse later and then picked up the towels. ``Okay, let's hit the pool!''

``Yay!'' Fiver cheered and toddled out of the room towards the stairs. Hazel followed him, ready to catch the toddler should he trip, but Fiver made it down without a hitch. He waddled down the hall, through the kitchen, and out the sliding glass door. ``Hold on!'' Hazel called out. Fiver immediately and obediently halted, and Hazel took the moment to apply some sunscreen on brother's nose and inside his ears. Once he was done and ensured it was all rubbed in, he gave his brother the all-clear: ``Alright, time to go in.''

``YAAAYYY!'' Fiver cheered as he ran over and jumped into the pool with a splash.

Keeping an eye on Fiver Hazel applied sunscreen to himself and put on some sunglasses and laid down on the deck chair, getting some sun while supervising. It made him so happy to see Fiver splashing around and making all sort of squeals of delight at being wet and cool in this hot summer heat.

Some minutes later Hazel was thirsty and knew Fiver likely was now as well, so he slipped into the kitchen and kept watching Fiver through the window while preparing them some drinks. He pulled a chilled bottle of water out of the fridge, and then a picnic thermos out of the cupboard and poured in some water, ice, and lemonade mix.  He shook it all together and tasted it, and deemed it ready.

``Fiver, lemonade!'' He called out the window, and walked out to the deck with the thermos and two plastic cups.

``Yay! Lemyade!'' Fiver cheered and climbed out the pool and toddled over, his waterlogged swimsuit dripping everywhere. Hazel poured him a cup and Fiver gulped it down eagerly. ``More, please!'' he asked sweetly. Hazel chuckled with pleasure at Fiver's manners, and refilled his cup, which Fiver downed eagerly while Hazel sipped his. ``Are you having fun so far?'' Hazel.

``Yeah!'' Fiver answered enthusiastically, keen to get back in the water.

Then suddenly Fiver's face clenched, and he let out a grunt and started. Hazel recognized the signal. ``Hold on Fiver, come on!'' He quickly put down their cups and led Fiver over to the nearby potty chair. And then he pulled down Fiver's swimsuit and sat him down on the potty on the grass. ``Now, push!'' Hazel ordered.

Fiver squirmed and pushed with all his might, his toes clenching in the grass, and then after a minute he was done. He panted a little as Hazel tilted him forward to look: Fiver had indeed passed a considerable amount of hraka. ``Congratulations Fiver, you did it!'' Hazel praised, ``You just went potty for the very first time!''

``What's a potty?'' Fiver asked in confusion.

``What you are sitting on, this is a potty,'' Hazel tapped the blue plastic side, it's a little toilet, that's what grown-ups and big kits use when they have to pee or pass hraka, like you just did.''

``Pass hraka means go potty?'' Fiver asked.

``That's right! Don't go away, stay right there, I'll be right back!'' And Hazel raced back into the house while leaving a confused Fiver sitting on the potty with his swimsuit around his ankles. Hazel returned with a box of wipes, and tilted Fiver forward to clean his bottom. ``There, look at what you made!'' Hazel said in an encouraging tone.

Fiver turned around to look, his suit still around his ankles, and looked into the potty in astonishment. ``I made dat?''

``That's right!'' said Hazel, getting into the swing of things now, ``Normally you go in diapers, but now that you're getting older I think you're ready to start being a big kit, are you ready to be a big kit? Are you?''

``Big kit! Big kit!'' Fiver clapped, responding to Hazel's praise. Hazel beamed at him; maybe this wouldn't be so hard after all.

``Now, we have to flush it. Stand up,'' Fiver obeyed, and Hazel lifted his legs to make him step out of the swimsuit, leaving the toddler completely naked. ``Can't have this dripping in the house,'' said Hazel, hanging the suit over one of the chairs in the sun. Then he picked up the potty, ``Follow me!''

He carried the potty into the house, his perplexed naked brother following him closely. Hazel led him into the bathroom, and showed the Fiver the motions of dumping the hraka in the toilet, flushing it, and then rinsing the potty out in the sink.

``You see it? Nothing to it!'' Hazel declared. ``You are going to be learning to do this from now on. Don't worry, I'll help you out every step out of the way. Now we wash our paws-``

He and Fiver washed their paws, ``And now we go out to play again!''

``YAAAY!'' Fiver toddled through the house back to the yard, Hazel following him with the potty. Once outside he picked up Fiver's half-dried bathing suit from the chair, ``Okay, you want your suit back on, or do you just want to go naked?''

``Go nakie!'' Fiver answered, and he hopped back into the pool naked as a jay. Hazel didn't care, it was just them around, and it would save a step if Fiver ever had to go again, which could be any minute given how much lemonade he had just drank. Plus, his brother had a very cute bottom.

``If you ever feel funny, you tell me, understand?''

``Yeth Hathel!'' Fiver responded, playing with his boat without a worry in the world.

Hazel beamed at his brother, and then laid back in the chair and watched him while sipping his lemonade. He knew there would be inevitable accidents along the way of this venture, but for the moment he was very proud of himself. He was only 12, and he was toilet training his brother as well as any adult could. He didn't know how well he could do with someone else's kits, but he knew Fiver and his quirks better than anyone, and he was very proud of how well he was doing taking care of him.

Five minutes later Fiver suddenly stopped splashing, and a confused look came over his face. ``Hathel? I feel funny,'' he mumbled.

``Quick, to the potty!'' Hazel urged, getting up from his chair. Fiver got out of the pool and started toddling over, but then he stopped halfway there, looked down, and peed on the grass between his feet.

``I'm thowy, Hathel,'' Fiver mumbled, looking ashamed.

``Oh, it's alright!'' Hazel said encouragingly, ``You did know that you had to go, and that's good, it means you're ready. You're doing great, little brother. Soon we'll have to buy you some big kit underwear.''

``Like you wear?'' Fiver asked.

``That's right, like I wear!'' Hazel beamed. He looked at the pool, which now looked very inviting considering how hot he was, and then he got up and jumped in himself. It was only a few inches deep, but that was enough to cool him down. Looking pleased Fiver got back in with him and the two brothers played in the water for the better part of an hour, thoroughly enjoying each other's company.

When that hour was over a familiar feeling came over Hazel, and he quickly got up and started to dry himself off.

``Where you going?'' Fiver asked.

``I have to pee,'' Hazel answered, almost having to do a dance to hold it in.

``Use the potty!'' Fiver urged, pointing at the blue potty in the grass. Hazel chuckled, ``No, that is too small for me. I need to use the toilet.''

``Oh,'' then Fiver got out of the pool, ``Can I watch?''

Hazel was a little uncomfortable with the request, but he couldn't leave Fiver alone, and the book had suggested letting the toddler imitate a parent or older sibling in the bathroom, so he decided to set an example. ``Okay, but first you gotta dry off,'' he answered, and quickly ran Fiver's towel over the toddler's fur until he was reasonably dry and then led him by the paw into the house to the bathroom.

The two approached the toilet, ``Okay, I pull down the front of my shorts like this,'' he did as instructed, ``Then I hold my peepee like this,'' he did so, ``And then I aim it into the bowl like this and I let go!''

And he stood before the toilet, and let loose a long stream of urine right before Fiver's wide and astonished eyes. Hazel had been naked around Fiver countless times before but he had never gone to the bathroom in front of him like that, which put a whole new level brotherly trust between them.

``Wow... it's so much...'' Fiver gasped as Hazel kept going.

``Yeah, I've been holding it for a while,'' Hazel replied. After a few more seconds he was finally done, and then he shook it, dabbed it with a tissue and pulled his shorts back up, and washed his paws. ``You want to try?'' he asked.

``Okay!'' Fiver got into position in front of the bowl and held his peepee just as Hazel had, but then he frowned. ``Can't weach,'' he noticed.

``Here, we have a stool right in here!'' Hazel reached into the cupboard and pulled out a footstool, ``Try standing on this!''

Fiver did, aimed, squirmed a little, and then Hazel watched a little stream of urine flow out of Fiver into the bowl. Unfortunately some of it trickled along the edge of the bowl as it lessened and even a little got on the floor. ``Oops! I'm thowy, Hathel!'' Fiver whined.

``Oh, it's okay! You might be just a little too small to do it like that,'' said Hazel. He went some tissues and cleaned up the mess, and then rubbed his brother's head affectionately, ``Good try, you'll get it next time.''

Making a mental note to buy a little toilet seat for Fiver next chance he got Hazel had Fiver wash his paws again, and then it was back to the pool, Fiver still stark naked. ``Want something to eat?'' Hazel asked.

``Yeth pleath!'' Fiver called from the pool.

``Perfect manners, little brother!'' Hazel called back, and then he set to fixing them some lunch, keeping one eye on Fiver through the window. He fixed a nice plate of sliced carrots, celery, sprouts, and both apple slices and blueberries for dessert because Fiver had been doing so well for his first day of potty training. He brought the plate out, ``Come and get it!''

``Yay!'' Fiver hooped out of the pool, toddled over to the picnic table and sat down in his chair, still dripping. With a chuckle Hazel gave him a little toweling off and then laid the towel under Fiver's bare bottom.

``After this you're taking a nap, okay?'' said Hazel, munching on a carrot.

``Aww, no! Can't I swim a wittle more?'' Fiver pleaded through a mouthful of apple.

``I'm sorry, but you do need to take a nap, or you'll be all tired through dinner,'' Hazel pointed out, ``But don't worry - you can swim some more after.''

``Okay...'' Fiver's ears drooped but he didn't argue, ``Daddy coming for dinner?''

``Sorry, Father said he has to work late tonight,'' Hazel answered sadly, ``Tonight it's just you and me. But don't worry, we'll have our own fun.''

After the meal was over Fiver stifled a yawn, and Hazel knew the time was right for a nap. He took their remaining flayrah and put it back in the fridge, then picked up the potty from the grass. ``Come on,'' he instructed, and he led Fiver back through the house and up the stairs to the nursery. As Fiver yawned and rubbed his eyes Hazel grabbed a diaper from the basket and unfolded it and began to put it on Fiver.

``Why you doin' that?'' Fiver asked, standing still so Hazel could fasten the tabs at his sides, ``I go potty now, don't I?''

``Just in case you need to go again while you're asleep,'' Hazel answered. He pointed at the potty on the floor, ``I'm going to nap with you. Then if you feel funny you wake me, and I'll help you go in there. The diaper is just in case you don't make it. Understand?''

``Yeth, Hathel,'' Fiver answered.

``Good!'' Hazel smiled and hugged Fiver. ``I'm so proud of you, little brother,'' He kissed Fiver on the head, ``This is only your first day and you're doing so well. At this rate you'll be going on your own in no time!''

Then, hugging Fiver close to his chest he let himself fall backwards to flump onto Fiver's bed, carrying the toddler with him with a squeal. Then he laid down next to the wall and Fiver curled up next to him. Fiver kissed his nose, ``I luv you, Hathel.''

Hazel smiled warmly and kissed him back, ``I love you too.''

And soon both brothers were fast asleep.

***

An hour later, Fiver slowly opened his eyes. He felt a familiar uncomfortable feeling down below, which he was starting to recognize as a sign. ``Hathel?'' he whispered.

Hazel slowly stirred, opening his eyes a little, ``Mm?''

``I have to go potty.''

In an instant Hazel's eyes shot open and he was wide awake. ``Okay, just keep holding!'' He instructed. Quick as a flash he lifted Fiver off the bed, pulled off his diaper, and sat him down on the potty. ``Now, let go!'' he said. And with a little grunt Fiver did, and a trickle flowed out of him into the bowl.

Hazel was stunned. ``Wow, you did it! The book said you might have trouble feeling the urge when you're asleep, but you did it!'' He hugged the astonished Fiver around the shoulders, ``Ohh, I love you! Every time I think you cannot do better you do! You amaze me, little brother!''

Fiver looked so proud of himself. He was a sponge for praise, especially from his brother, and hearing Hazel's words made him light up like a Christmas tree. ``Back to the pool?'' he asked enthusiastically.

``Absolutely, as soon as we wash out this potty, can you show me how to do it?'' Hazel asked.

``Okay...'' Fiver looked a little unsure, but was eager to try. He stood, picked the potty up, and carried it to the bathroom with Hazel following him closely. Once inside Hazel lifted the toilet lid for him, and Fiver slowly poured the contents of the potty into the bowl, almost spilling only once before Hazel caught him. Then he stood on the stool at the sink and rinsed it out like Hazel showed him, and put it on the floor next to the toilet to dry.

``Good job! Now back to the pool!'' Suddenly full of energy Hazel scooped Fiver up and carried him down the stairs, making deliberate little bounces to make Fiver laugh, and once they were outside he tossed Fiver into the wading pool and got in with him.

They carried on splashing in the water for almost an hour before Fiver got out and the two started playing on the grass instead. Together they did somersaults, handstands and playful chase and rough n' tough, Fiver still naked and Hazel wearing only his swimsuit. By the time the two were finally worn out they were both collapsed on the ground, giggling and considerably more dirty than they had been when they started. It had been a fun day for both of them, full of bonding and making big progress on Fiver's next phase of childhood, and they were very pleased with themselves.

``Fiver,'' Hazel smiled at the toddler lying next to him, ``I'm so glad you're my brother.''

``An' I glad too!'' Fiver declared, crawling onto Hazel's chest, ``I wish evwy bwuther was wike you. The world would be a better pwace.''

Deeply touched Hazel hugged Fiver to his chest and nuzzled him with his nose, and then pressed their foreheads together. ``I love you, so much.''

Fiver hugged him tight, and they remained like that for almost a minute before Hazel finally began to stand up. ``I think we need a shower... we're both dirty and embly. That sound good? Then we'll have dinner.''

``Okay,'' Fiver agreed. Hazel picked the kit up under his bottom and carried him back into the house, making sure to wipe his feet as he entered. He took Fiver upstairs to the bathroom and got the shower going, and then stripped off his bathing suit and they got in together.

Hazel quickly lathered himself first, rubbing the dirt and grass out of his fur, before he knelt down and began to wash Fiver. He gently rubbed soap into his ears, torso and limbs, using the extendable hose head to rinse him off.

``Enh! Enh!'' Fiver suddenly yelped, clutching at his privates and doing a little dance.

``Hold on Fiver, you can do it!'' Hazel yelled, recognizing the signal. Quickly he picked the soaking toddler up and out of the shower, and remembering a position from the book he held Fiver over the toilet by holding the toddler's thighs and positioning his back and head leaning against Hazel's chest. ``Okay, go!'' Hazel hissed.

Fiver grunted, and once again he peed into the bowl, safely suspended by Hazel's arms, his body dripping from the still-running shower. Once the stream had ended Hazel started to put him down, until Fiver gripped his arm and shook his head no. Hazel held him over again, Fiver squirmed and grunted, and then he passed a decent amount of hraka into the toilet right before Hazel's eyes, his body held in an ideal position for it by Hazel's comfortable arms.

Hazel was amazed yet again; Fiver had not soiled a single diaper since that morning, and it was almost 5 now. Fiver was still a ways away from doing this all on his own, but had made incredible progress in recognizing the signals and holding long enough to be taken to the toilet. Hazel remembered a section in the book that described incentivizing with rewards like candy or blueberries as very helpful, but Fiver didn't seem to need those things. Just Hazel's praise was enough.

``Good job, little brother,'' he kissed Fiver's head, ``Good job.''

He flushed the toilet with his foot, and then carried Fiver back into the shower. He used soap and a cloth to clean Fiver's bottom, and then he sat down and leaned against the shower's far wall to relax and let the water run over him. Fiver sat against him and curled up against his chest, and the two rabbits enjoyed the calming shower for a few minutes more before Hazel finally got up and turned the water off. The two got up, and Hazel dried them both off with towels and then the fur dryer.

``Okay, I'm going to get dressed,'' Hazel said, picking up his discarded bathing suit, ``Would you like to put some clothes on, or keep going naked?''

``Keep nakie!'' Fiver requested, having greatly enjoyed his day of being naked thus far.

``Fine, naked it is,'' Hazel grinned, beaming at how much Fiver was enjoying himself. The book had had a section on the numerous benefits of letting toddlers have naked time, especially when potty training, and it was clear to see with Fiver. He was considering making it a daily thing, letting Fiver go naked all summer as long as it was just at home. It would save tons of laundry, improve his efforts at potty training, and enable Hazel to enjoy seeing Fiver's cute naked bottom all the time all in one.

He went to his room, letting Fiver watch while he dressed himself in his shirt and shorts from that morning, and then he led Fiver down to the kitchen for some evening flayrah. While the toddler played naked with his toys in the adjacent living room Hazel fixed a meal of celery, boiled potatoes and steamed carrots. ``Dinner!'' he called. Fiver eagerly toddled over, and Hazel set him on his plastic booster seat to eat. Once the meal was over and Fiver had been rewarded for his day's accomplishments with a bowl of fresh blueberries, Hazel washed the dishes and led Fiver outside. ``Little brother, can you help me clean this up?'' he gestured at the pool they had left out, and the discarded towels and other items they had left out in the yard.

``Wha' can I do, Hathel?'' Fiver asked adorably.

``I need you to help me lift the pool, so we can get the water out,'' Hazel answered. In truth Fiver had little strength and wouldn't have made much difference, but Hazel wanted to include him, ``And then while I put the pool away I want you to grab those towels and your suit and put them in the basket in the laundry room so I can wash them, can you do that?''

``Aye, sir!'' Fiver gave him a salute, and both brothers gripped the edge of the pool and tilted it up, and all the water gushed out.

``Yay! We did it!'' Hazel gave Fiver a high-five, ``Now the towels and suit,'' he pointed at the laundry items.

``Okay!'' Fiver toddled over, collected the towels and his swimsuit, and disappeared into the house. Hazel rolled the blue pool out of the yard, through the gate, and into the garage. Closing the door behind him, he went back into the house and found Fiver in the laundry room, having successfully deposited the items in the laundry basket.

``Good job, Fiver! Okay, what would you like to do next? Watch cartoons? Read a story?''

``Umm... stowy!'' Fiver requested.

``Okay, story it is, c'mon,'' Hazel took Fiver's paw, and led him up the stairs to the nursery. By now it was getting close to 7, almost time to put Fiver down for the night. On the way up the stairs Hazel realized that Fiver hadn't gone in a while and grabbed the blue potty out of the bathroom where they had left it, and they went into Fiver's room. Hazel gestured at the little bookshelf at the side wall, ``Okay, can you pick out something to read?''

``Ummm...'' Fiver waddled over to the bookshelf held his finger up to look at different titles, but he couldn't seem to make up his mind. Finally Hazel came over and suggested something: ``What about Dr. Zoos? Would you like Dr. Zoos?''

``Um, okay!'' Fiver answered, and Hazel grabbed a few of the Dr. Zoos books off the shelf and sat down on Fiver's bed with them, leaning his back against the wall. Fiver got up with him and leaned into Hazel's side. Hazel affectionately put his arm around his brother, and began to read out loud.

After reading a couple of books, Fiver let out a yawn. ``It's almost your bedtime, little brother,'' Hazel said, ``Why don't we go brush your teeth, and then I'll give you a nice massage, huh?''

``Yeth pleath!'' Fiver eagerly agreed. Hazel closed and put the books away and led Fiver to the bathroom. He wet Fiver's toothbrush and brushed his teeth, and then brushed his own. As he did so, he realized that Fiver still hadn't gone potty in a long time. He wasn't giving any signals, but he had to be close.

``Fiver...'' he whispered, ``Do you have to go potty?''

``Mm...'' Fiver seemed to be considering it, ``Mm-hmm!''

Hazel steered him to the toilet and sat him down, supporting Fiver with his paws so the toddler wouldn't fall in. ``Okay, go!'' said Hazel.

Fiver clenched, and an impressive amount of urine flowed out of him, more than any he had released that day. Hazel was impressed yet again, noting Fiver was starting to hold it in for longer. He cleaned Fiver up a little and kissed him, ``That's a good boy,'' he whispered, ``That's a good boy.''

After washing both their paws, the brothers left the bathroom and to the nursery. ``Okay, go ahead and lie down,'' Hazel pointed at the bed. Familiar with the routine Fiver climbed onto his bed and laid down on his stomach. Hazel decided there was no need for a changing pad beneath him, because the potty was right on the floor and Fiver was getting good at recognizing when he had to go. Slowly he approached the bed, bent down, and started massaging Fiver's back.

Fiver hummed and purred happily as Hazel worked up and down his spine and on his shoulders. He loved this routine so, and so did Hazel. It was one of their favorite moments of the day, setting aside a few minutes just to bond like this. Fiver never felt more safe and loved than he did under Hazel's gentle paws. Hazel worked his way down and started massaging Fiver's buttocks with his thumbs, then his legs, and then went up and started tenderly rubbing his ears, which always particularly got Fiver going, making him let out little squeaks of pleasure when Hazel did it right. This carried on for a few minutes before Hazel lifted his paws and signalled Fiver to turn over, and gazed fondly into his brother's face.

``I love you,'' Hazel whispered, and kissed Fiver's head before starting to massage his stomach and chest. Finally he rubbed Fiver's feet, one at a time, until Fiver looked so relaxed and comfortable he was like limp spaghetti, his naked little body splayed across the bed and his eyes all but completely shut. Hazel got a diaper from the pile and lifted up Fiver's bottom to put it on him. Since it was a warm evening he decided to forgo pajamas and simply lifted the bed's blanket out from under his brother and laid it over him, tucking him in. He stroked his face fondly and kissed him. ``Goodnight Fiver.''

``Night, Hathel,'' Fiver whispered, and then he was sound asleep.

Hazel smiled fondly, and got up to turn Fiver's nightlight on and then the lights off, and left the room. He stayed up a couple more hours doing housework and greeting their father when he came home from work and telling him the news about the day. But when Hazel was ready for sleep, instead of going to bed himself he returned to Fiver's nursery, opened the closet and pulled out a pillow and sleeping bag he kept there in case Fiver ever needed company at night. And if Fiver needed to use the potty in the middle of the night, Hazel was determined to be ready.

***

The next morning Hazel woke up, blinking his eyes. He sighed and breathed deeply, and then remembered where he was: in Fiver's room. And judging from the smell coming from his brother's bed, he hadn't been aware of the need to go potty last night. From the light of the window Hazel guessed it was about 6 o'clock; maybe he could quietly change Fiver and let him sleep for a while longer. Slowly he got up and crawled over to the changing area where he grabbed a new diaper and the wipe box, and then to Fiver's bed where the kit lay fast asleep under the covers. Hazel gingerly pulled the blanket back to reveal Fiver's full form that was naked save for an evidently full diaper. Even though he knew the smell very well Hazel could not suppress a little wrinkle of his nose in disgust. Carefully he lifted Fiver up a little to roll him on his back, and Fiver began to stir a little.

``Ha-thel...?'' Fiver croaked softly.

``Shh, it's okay,'' Hazel whispered, ``Go back to sleep.'' And Fiver did.

With a bit of relief Hazel undid the tabs on Fiver's diaper and exposed his brother's hraka-covered bottom. Recoiling a little from the smell he used the front of the diaper to wipe off as much as he could, then finished the job with the wipes from the box. Clearly Fiver still had a ways to go for night training, but that was fine - this was only his second day of potty training. Finally Fiver was all clean, and resisting the urge to blow a raspberry on his brother's naked tummy Hazel rubbed some ointment on his bottom, and then with all his might, lifted Fiver's limp legs to slide the new diaper under him. It was heavier than usual, for Fiver usually helped with that; he was getting so heavy. Hazel taped the new diaper shut, and slowly moved Fiver back into a sleeping position and laid the covers over him again, and then left to clean up and wash his paws.

***

An hour later, Hazel was downstairs tidying up the breakfast dishes (Father had to go to work again, and had quickly downed some food before running out the door), when he heard a thump and little footsteps from upstairs, signifying that Fiver was up. He heard thumps on the stairs, and then Fiver came into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes and dressed only in his diaper.

``Good morning, Little Brother!'' Hazel greeted him, ``Did you sleep well?''

``Uh-huh,'' Fiver replied, still looking half-asleep with droopy ears.

``Do you have to go potty?'' Hazel asked.

``Mm-mm,'' Fiver shook his head no.

``Are you sure? May we just check?'' Hazel requested. Fiver nodded and Hazel led him to the nearby downstairs bathroom. He pulled Fiver's diaper down like underwear, lifted him up and perched him on the toilet. Fiver squirmed, but only a little urine came out of him; he needed fluids.

``Alright, at least we got a little,'' said Hazel, pulling the diaper back up. He then led Fiver to the kitchen, filled a sippy cup with water and gave it to Fiver, which the toddler drank down eagerly. Hazel refilled the bottle and gave it right back, and soon Fiver's thirst was sated. Hazel then sat his brother in his high chair and set to work: ``Now, what would you like for breakfast?''

``Um... corn fwakes!'' Fiver answered. Hazel nodded and turned to get cereal bowls for both of them, feeling that was going to be another good day of potty training.
