Any resemblance to persons alive or dead is purely coincidental. They are the original and rightful intellectual property of their creators. I use them with permission and respect. This work involves underaged characters and a predominately micro-macro theme. You have been warned.\n\n\tYou stand among the podium, equally represented with each of the others who have participated in the competition. Loudspeakers announce the award distribution process and you look around, searching for the one who would deliver it to a worthy competitor. You are certain your entry is worthy of praise. You’ve looked at the other projects and feel like they don’t quite meet the mark. You must win…you have to…your pride depends on it.\n\n\tThe fever pitch of the moment is real for any person participating in such an event. Nerves are at an end and one’s heart races, not knowing what to expect. Such confidence comes at a price, especially when in one’s youth when a person’s goals can be loftier than reality allows. But such things are allowable, so long as the friendly nature of the games are maintained and everyone keeps within the guidelines of expected behaviors.\n\n\tIt is the weekend that everyone in school had been waiting for. Well…everyone is a strong word but the excitement was still present all the same. Posters were placarded across the hallway advertising the event as another annual repetition of the school science fair. No one knew the prizes at stake, the people in charge always kept those kinds of things under the nose. But to those who were interested, it mattered not.\n\n\tBunson was a young boy who went to the Mayberry Day school. A private institution situated just outside of the city proper, where both well-to-do kids and those who were able to get scholarships were afforded the opportunity of private education. Already well into the 6th grade, the young Scorbunny was a budding scientist who knew nothing more exciting than the thrill of discovery.\n\n\tEvery year the rabbit cub had entered the science competition with unparalleled tact. He was just about the only kid in his grade who participated and even before he was formally allowed to enter, he insisted that he was able to gauge the entries. Bunson always had some sort of a plan in mind of what he wanted to work on. He felt like the other projects were juvenile each year, yet he had never come out on top.\n\n\tThis year was different, he told himself. He had endeavored to work with the science department in fleshing out ideas. Of course each of the pitches that he made to them, they had heard before. The elder headmistress of science was well past her prime and she oversaw the competition year in and year out. The older marrowak woman was constantly told by the admin to retire and yet even in her golden years, she continued for the love of seeing the kids produce.\n\n\tEowatha, as she was known, was infamous around the school. She was hardnosed and took the fair very seriously. She was the most strict judge, even to students she had in the past. She harbored no favoritism and some thought that her expectations might have been too high for the younger students. But every so often there was a student who went above and beyond and earned her graces. This year, Bunson wanted to be that student because as of yet he had not been noticed by her and this bothered him.\n\n\tEvery day after school Bunson had been allowed to come after hours to spend some extra time in the labs to work on his project. He had already settled on making some a soil moisture sensor. The school had its garden and recently the scorbunny had learned that the greenery club had been struggling to maintain a sufficient water cycle. Bunson had heard about moisture sensors before and figured he could run some diagnostics to make one workable for the garden.\n\n\tBunson wasn’t much of an electrician. The circuitry on the solder board was proving hard to wire and the cub had no experience in wiring the breadboard. He found a few tutorials on the internet but each time he tried something different, the wiring short-circuited and provided no response other than some fizzing out. Luckily for the cub, he hadn’t shocked himself and it hadn’t injured his determination.\n\n\tOne day one of the other boys in the lab noticed his struggles. It had been a few days since he had made any real progress and Bunson was beginning to show noticeable frustration. The other cub was an orange fox who was slightly older and more advanced than the rabbit himself. The two had never formally met before but the bigger boy figured he could be a good citizen and offer his assistance in the matter.\n\n\tThe fox approached the smaller boy who was nursing his finger, which he had nicked along the edge of the circuit board. Bunson was busy sucking at the wound and didn’t even notice the other boy approaching his station.\n\n“Need some help there?” The fox asked as he walked closer from behind and tapped the other cub on the shoulder.\n\nBunson looked behind him and saw someone he didn’t immediately recognize. “Uh…no? Who are you?”\n\nThe rabbit’s sense of confidence wouldn’t let some stranger overcome his certainty of the solution to his problem.\n\n“I think you do. I’ve been watching you the past few days and you’ve been working on the same part of the project.”\n\nThe scorbunny huffed. “Naw…I’m fine. Really….” He said with his mouth still half full from his finger.\n\n“Mmm. Your injury says otherwise. Move over.” The fox was more than strong enough to push the smaller cub to the side.\n\nBunson wasn’t prepared to stand his ground as he was nudged over. He watched silently as the fox picked up the soldering tool and started connecting the connectors to the insertion points on the end of the board.\n\n\tBunson watched as one by one they were connected with ease. The other cub wasn’t shocked a single time, nor did he burn himself with the soldering iron. \n\n“See? All done. Now watch it in action.” The fox hooked up a small red light to one of the ends of the connectors and put the other in a glass of water.\n\nThe little light burned brightly as it reacted to the presence of moisture. Bunson crossed his arms defensively, feeling a little offended by just how easy the other cub was able to accomplish the task.\n\nThe scorbunny huffed. “Thanks…”\n\n“No problem. My name is Daniel. What’s yours?” The bigger boy extended his paw out in a gesture of greeting.\n\nThe rabbit hesitated a second before meekly shaking the extended appendage. “Bunson…”\n\n“Want to see mine?” Daniel let go of the tools and let them sit on the table in front of him.\n\nBunson rolled his eyes. “ I guess.”\n\n\tThe fox started to walk away and it took a moment for Bunson to follow in behind him. Daniel’s table was a few rows behind Bunson, near the back of the room. When they arrived, Bunson’s eyes grew wide in awe as he looked at a very large object in front of him. At first, he didn’t know exactly what it was and waited for his new friend to reveal its purpose.\n\n“What do you think?” The older fox assumed the other cub knew what it was.\n\nBunson let out an audible “Uh” before responding. “What is it?”\n\n“It’s a density tower. Each layer is a different solution, represented by the different hues in the liquids themselves.”\n\nThe scorbunny’s mouth gaped in surprise. “That’s… cool.”\n\n“Thanks. I got the idea from a book I was reading recently.” Daniel scratched his head and blushed ever so slightly.\n\nBunson peered in closer and then backed away from the project. “Well…thanks for helping me.”\n\n“No problem. Don’t hesitate to ask if you need help again.” The kit puffed out his chest proudly.\n\nThe scorbunny walked away with his head hanging low. He felt defeated and suddenly realized his project wasn’t quite as great as he initially had hoped.\n\n\tUpon returning to his desk, he slammed his paw on the table and smashed the little circuit board. The bottom of his paw reeled in pain as the small spikes in the object drove into him. He shook his paw, feeling stupid that he didn’t’ just throw the thing away. The rabbit continued to sulk as he sat there doing nothing for the remainder of the afterschool activity. All he wanted to do was go home now and think nothing more about the perceived failed experiment he had just produced.\n\n\tThe end of the day came before long and Bunson was the last one out of the room. As he was exiting Eowatha checked in on him. It wasn’t like him to not call her over multiple times and Bunson had been more or less silent for the hour. He insisted to her that he was fine and went without another word. Of course, she suspected something else was up, but she didn’t know the extent of it. \n\n\tBunson went outside where his father was already waiting for him in the car. The cub was moving slower than usual and the older man guessed something was bothering him just based on his body language alone.\n\n“What’s wrong, kiddo?” The man asked as his son filed into the vehicle from the passenger side.\n\nBunson sighed. “Nothing.”\n\n“I don’t think so. Come on you can tell me. Who knows? Maybe I can help.” The father reached over and patted the cub on the shoulder.\n\nThe young boy rolled his eyes. “Just my project is going bad.”\n\n“I see. Well, maybe you just need a new idea then.” He removed his touch and returned it to the wheel in front of him.\n\nThe cub let out a sigh. “Well, duh.”\n\n“You don’t’ need to be rude. I’m just trying to help.” The older male started to drive, trying to ignore his son’s disrespect.\n\nBunson lowered his head. “Sorry.”\n\n“No problem. Let’s go home and have some ice cream. That will cheer you up.” He said with a huge smile on his face.\n\nThe drive home wasn’t long as they made their way from the school to their apartment complex. The family lived in a small community with a bunch of other families, all of which had kids of various ages.\n\n\tThe entire community was loosely knit and lived there only for the purpose that it was located near the center of town. The father and son made their way up the stairs once they arrived at the complex. Bunson continued moping around until they were inside. The older man served his kid some ice cream at the kitchen table. The cub’s face lit up once he saw the sugary treat as the ice cream was one of his favorite treats.\n\n“So, why don’t you do a simple project like a volcano something?” The man suggested as it had been quite a while since he’d done a project of his own.\n\nBunson spoke with his mouth half full with ice cream. “Be craw in eas”\n\n“Don’t speak with your mouth full.” The father sat down at the table across from his son.\n\nThe younger scorbunny swallowed and spoke again. “Because it’s easy.”\n\n“So what? Then you wouldn’t be so frustrated by it.” The older rabbit eased back in the chair and relaxed.\n\nBunson hummed. “I guess your right. Maybe I can just make a spin on it or something.”\n\n“There you go. That’s the spirit. No more being glum, alright? I don’t like seeing you like that. Oh…and don’t tell your mother I gave you ice cream.” He got up and playfully slapped the boy on the back.\n\n\tBunson was left to finish his treat. Once he did, he wiped his mouth and made his way back to the room. Already his mind was considering a replacement project. He figured he could find something on the internet if he looked. All he wanted now was to one-up Daniel and he would do it no matter the cost. He hurried to his computer and pulled up the chair before turning the device on.\n\n\tHe began to search through the internet on various science resources. Eventually, he came upon a galvanometer project that he felt like he could pull off. Bunson made a few notes based on what he read and noted the materials necessary for it. He figured he could base the readings compared to a digital one and see how accurate it was. The rabbit hoped it would be enough to one-up Daniel, but time would tell if that was the case.\n\n\tOver the next few days, Bunson began work in full on his galvanometer. It was a rather quick process compared to the circuitry project. This was because it was much easier for him to comprehend than the more challenging task of wiring the breadboard. Every so often he would check in on Daniel who was just mostly browsing around now since his project was past complete at this point.\n\n\tDaniel had appointed himself as the official ambassador of the project afterschool activity despite Eowatha not having any input on it. She didn’t mind since she had other kids to worry about who were much needier than the fox was so she wasn’t about to protest. Every so often he would pass by Bunson who said nothing to him but instead eyed him warily. It was like the rabbit was sizing him up despite the lack of interest from the other party.\n\n\tBefore long the day come when pre-judging was to occur. Eowatha was charged with predicting what projects would be shown at the fair and which ones would not. To say that Bunson was nervous would be an understatement. The cubs were not allowed to invite their parents and so the scorbunny felt entirely alone. Looking over at Daniel, the fox had his arms folded confidently while waiting for the judge to come to his table.\n\n\tEowatha moved slowly across the room, the audience keeping a close eye on her to discern any weakness she might have had that day. She was methodical with each of the projects she looked over. She touched the ones which she was able to and gave a close look to them, judging them rather harshly. Frown after frown, the woman turned down cub after cub, no matter how good their project was.\n\n\tShe eventually got over to Daniel who had been patiently waiting for her. He proudly showed off his density tower, explaining the thing to her to the best of his ability. She had seen this sort of thing before and it didn’t impress her. Much to the fox’s chagrin she brushed him off and declined his entry. The look on his face was unmistakable as Bunson looked upon him with glee.\n\n\tThe scorbunny was next. All he could hope for was the galvanometer to work as it was supposed to. He plugged it into the battery to allow it to show the flux in the reading and then did the same with the control charge. She walked over to him and didn’t say a word. Bunson began explaining the object to her, hypothesizing the reading on quite a few batteries. She reached into her pocket and decided to throw him a curveball.\n\n“Correctly guess the reading using your device on this phone and I will consider your entry.” She held out a flip phone and popped out the battery from inside.\n\n\tBunson smirked as he took the flat battery and plugged it in. The little meter showed a 60% charge and he relayed that to her.\n\n“Very nice. Great job. You’re in.” She said as she retracted the battery from him.\n\nThe rabbit’s smile grew ever wider upon hearing those words. He made sure to beam his pearly whites over at Daniel who looked on him with envy. The fox gritted his teeth and ground his paws into a fist.\n\n\tThe woman continued her way around the rest of the room, qualifying only a total of four projects. Bunson felt very proud of himself, jumping in place when he found out just how few had been included. When she retired to her desk and dismissed the cubs, Daniel made his way to where the other boy was standing.\n\n“Nice job, dude. How’d you like to celebrate by coming to my place and hanging out.” The fox reached over and put his arm over the smaller boy’s shoulder.\n\nBunson’s stomach twisted into a knot, he had never been asked to hang out before. “Really?”\n\n“Yeah, sure. Why not? I have some games we could play or I could show you some of my inventions.” Daniel hadn’t asked his parents but figured they’d be fine with it.\n\nThe younger cub let out an audible. “Uh…sure. I guess.”\n\n“Cool, let’s go. You can call your parents on the way to my place.” The fox let go of the other boy and started to take the lead.\n\n\tBunson wasn’t sure what to make of the invitation but he was excited all the same. They walked together out of the school, next to each other. The entire time the scorbunny’s face maintained the same smirk from before. He was still rather proud of himself and was giving off soft confidence rather than gloating about it. Every time Daniel looked over at him, he couldn’t help but notice it and it annoyed him each time even more.\n\n\tThe two walked over to the bike rack as Daniel had stored his bike there and assumed Bunson had done the same. The fox learned he didn’t have one and decided to allow him to ride the back on the pegs. The scorbunny was a bit hesitant about it but eventually warmed up to the idea. He latched onto the bigger cub’s shoulders and pulled himself up as Daniel made his way out of the lot and onto the sidewalks.\n\n\tDaniel’ house wasn’t far from the school. His family lived a short distance from it. The fox’s den was along a short stretch along the main streets with houses of various designs. As they passed by them, Bunson noted that they looked rather ritzy compared to the houses that he lived near. Upon arriving at the fox’s house, Daniel reached into his pocket and handed over his phone. Bunson understood that he needed to call his parents.\n\n\tThe scorbunny dialed the number and waited for an answer. He assumed they wouldn’t pick up since they wouldn’t recognize the number.\n\n“What’s your number?” Bunson asked as he would need to leave feedback.\n\nDaniel shared his number and the smaller cub proceeded to leave a message with the number attached. It wasn’t long before they returned the call and confirmed that they were fine with the arrangement.\n\n\tThe excitement bubbled inside of Bunson as he was anxious to see what the other boy’s house was like. Daniel led inside towards the living room of the humble abode. It was a single-story home but was quite well decorated. The fox’s mother was an interior decorator and took great pride in making her house match the love she had for her occupation. Everything had its place in the room with pictures hung up all over the walls.\n\n“You want something to drink?” The fox asked as he headed towards the kitchen.\n\nBunson nodded. “Sure. I’m not picky. I’ll take whatever.”\n\n“Great. Head back to my room at the end of the hall. I’ll be there in a second.” The bigger boy pointed down the hall in the direction of his room.\n\n\tBunson understood where he needed to go. It was pretty obvious since the hallway didn’t have any offshoots except for a few. The sign on the cub’s wall made it even easier to find. Daniel in the meanwhile had gone into the kitchen to prepare some drinks. Already in his mind, he had made plans of getting revenge on the younger cub. He hated nothing more than being outdone, especially in the field of science where he considered himself the best.\n\n\tHe went into the medicine cabinet and pulled out a small green vial. The label on it was old and tattered and he could barely make out the word “Reducer”. The fox shook the bottle and could hear the tattering of pills inside. Daniel opened the small jar and poured out a single pill into his paw. He closed the top and replaced the jar on the shelf. Now carrying the pill, he took it over to the fridge and pulled out two juice bottles. \n\n\tThe fox unscrewed the cap and delivered the pill into the apple juice and placed it in his left paw. He made sure to keep his own in his opposite hand and closed the door of the fridge with his butt. His tail casually swayed behind him as he walked back towards his room. When he arrived inside, he saw that Bunson had already made himself comfortable and was lazing back on his computer chair.\n\n\tDaniel made his way over to the chair and handed him the apple juice before sipping on his own. Bunson took the small bottle of juice from his friend’s paw and began drinking it.\n\n“Thanks.” He said as a small drip of the stuff slipped out of his maw.\n\nThe fox smirked as he watched the boy drink the stuff but he was careful not to make too much of an obvious ordeal about it. \n\n“So what do you like to do? Do you like video games?” The kit asked as he wasn’t sure if the other boy’s hobbies.\n\nThe rabbit hummed as he thought about it, continuing to empty the bottle. “Yeah, do you have a switch?”\n\n“Yeah, I do. What do you want to play?” Daniel headed towards his entertainment center where the console was stored.\n\nBunson let out an audible “Um…How about Arms?”\n\n“Alright, I have that…” It had been quite a while since he’d played that game but he figured he would satiate the other cub’s request.\n\n\tDaniel pulled out the cabinet that housed the game. He distributed the controllers to an area on the floor and patted it as he sat down. Bunson joined him on the carpet beside his friend. Upon doing so he was feeling light-headed. He couldn’t think straight as his vision turned blurry and his body felt lighter than it normally did. The rabbit blinked a few times, trying to get rid of the obscured vision but it didn’t seem to be working.\n\nDaniel looked over and smirked once again. “You alright?”\n\n\tBunson wasn’t able to answer as he sat there stupefied by the chemicals coursing through his body. He laid back thinking that the odd feeling of loftiness would go away. Little by little his body began to wither away. His formerly well-fitting clothes started to sag on his body as he lost the mass he had gained over the last year. Daniel watched with interest as the cub shrank before his eyes.\n\n\tThe scorbunny curled up into the fetal position as his clothing began to ball up in little pools all around him. Before long, his shoes slid off his feet as they were now much too small to fit him now. The smile on Daniel face grew even wider as the other boy became ever smaller as he watched. His shirt now stretched well beyond his upper thighs clothing he was wearing bundled up around him. \n\n\tAnother minute or so passed and the rabbit seemingly vanished into the very clothing he was wearing a few moments ago. Daniel chuckled as he realized his plan had come to fruition. Now he had the cub where he wanted and he was certain to learn a lesson. Reaching over he began to gently look through the clothing. With each movement of the fabric, the rabbit within was moved around and his body rolled around from side to side.\n\n\tBunson awoke to the sight of darkness all around him. His body was spinning around and his stomach was churning from the apparent motion sickness he was experiencing. It didn’t take long for the rabbit to roll out from within the confines of the fabric. The scorbunny squinted as his eyes struggled to adjust to the sudden change in light. Daniel looked down upon him in his paw, kicking the clothing to the side.\n\n\tIt took a few seconds for Bunson to recover as his eyes returned to their normal state. Once he did, he found himself looking at a seemingly huge fox boy before him. The cub rubbed his eyes, believing that he was dreaming. Of course, when he refocused he found that was not the case. \n\n“What happened to me…?” He squeaked.\n\nDaniel could not make out what he said as the sound waves were not strong enough to reach him. The fox got an idea as he started to walk. \n\n\tThe kit made his way to his closet, making sure to keep his hand flat. Each step he took, the boy on his paw rolled back and forth. Bunson covered his maw as he was certain he would hurl at any moment. Luckily for him, the bigger boy stopped in his tracks as he was looking for something. Daniel was rifling through his closet to find his model airplane. His closet was extraordinarily well organized for a boy his age and he took great pride in his cleanliness.\n\n\tDaniel found the little toy and pulled it out, holding it in his spare paw. Balancing both the toy and the tiny boy in his other paw was more challenging than he originally thought. He had to make sure that Bunson didn’t fall from the platform of his paw as he might get hurt if he did. The fox arranged the little plane so that it was laid flat on the floor. Picking up the small cub between two of his fingers, he placed the tiny boy in the pilot seat of the vehicle.\n\tBunson struggled to break free but soon found that his might was no match for the seemingly humungous child he was trying to overcome. Once he was in the chair, he continued to squirm. Soon Daniel picked up the plane and began to glide it through the air. The scorbunnys eyes grew wide as he raced through the room at what he perceived to be a frighteningly fast rate. The g-force of the motion was more than enough to push his body back in the chair.\n\n\tDaniel brought the thing up and down, acting as if it were a real plane. He imitated the sound of a revving engine as he propelled it through the air, around him in circles. After a few minutes of this, he was feeling a bit dizzy and stopped the motion of the plane allowing it to land on the ground as he allowed his senses to normalize. This allowed Bunson to recover a bit as his nausea returned to not an unsettling state.\n\n\tDaniel soon grew restless as he reached his fingers inside the plane to pry the boy out from the driver’s seat. As like last time, Bunson squirmed when he was picked up but once again it proved to be fruitless. The fox put away the small plane and put it in the same spot he had put in before so that it could be found easily later. He then began to search through his stuff for the next exciting part in the plan for vengeance.\n\n\tDaniel searched through his stuff for an RC boat that he had made a few months back. It was one of his prized possessions as he had modified the thing into a super boat that far exceeded the speed of any other RC boat. It was on a platform near the back of his closet. He lifted the thing out of its makeshift dock and placed it under his arm. The entire time Bunson was watching with horror, considering what he could have in mind with the device.\n\n\tThe fox took the boat and tiny cub outside to the pool. It was a cool day out and leaves were strewn across the lawn as no one had raked the yard in some time. He placed the boat near the shallow end of the water and held his paw open. Bunson looked up at his friend, not knowing what he expected. The fox nudged him forward as if he was walking the plank and he was forced into the deck of the small toy shop.\n\n\tThe kit disappeared for a second to go find the controller. Bunson looked around and considered trying to make a run for it. The ledge of the pool was much too high for him to climb now. Looking across the pool, it resembled a lake to him now and he was uncertain if he could make it to the other side by the time Daniel returned. However, by the time he thought about it he heard a familiar voice.\n\n“You might want to buckle up…” The fox warned his friend. \n\n\tBunson overheard the voice and quickly found the only seat on the vessel. The moment he did, Daniel pushed the lever back on the controller. The little boat shot forward and popped through the water, breaking across the waves as it skated across the surface. Each time the boat popped up and down, the scorbunnys head reeled back and forth. The whiplash he was getting was more aggressive than he could handle. \n\n\tDaniel wished he had a ramp to run the boat off of but knew it would likely end up badly due to the limited space of the pool. He continued running it around the perimeter of the water as it made quick rounds of the water. As he grew tired of it he brought the little boat to the center of the pool and proceeded to do a few donuts. This was more than Bunson could handle and he gagged, causing some vomit to spill over him.\n\n\tThe RC vehicle eventually ran out of battery and came to a sputtering stop at the center. Daniel felt stupid that he didn’t see the signs that it was dying and decided that he would need to get into the pool to recover the boat. He disappeared for a moment once again, which Bunson didn’t notice since his head was now hung low trying to recover from the loss of bodily fluids. The cub was completely haunched over and badly wanted some water to get rid of the foul taste in his mouth.\n\n\tIt wasn’t long before Daniel returned in his bathing suit. The bigger cub dove straight into the deep end of the pool, sending a wave crashing towards the tiny cub passenger. The small boat rocked back and forth as the cub onboard held onto one of the railings in an attempt to maintain his footing. Luckily for him, there were only a few waves that rocked the boat until it settled down once again. Bunson lurched forward and grabbed the wheel in front of them, taking a deep sigh of relief as he laid there idly for a moment.\n\n\tDaniel walked towards the small boat as he was in the shallow portion of the pool. He submerged himself about halfway in the water so that his head was just about level with the boat. The fox could just about make out the tiny captain who was haunched over the plastic console in the bridge of the boat. \n\n\tA smirk crept across the young kit’s face as he came up with an idea. He backed away from the boat and pushed his hands into the water as a wave began to emerge. Daniel broke the water with as much force as he could muster. The water cascaded forward as it lurched toward the small boat. The wave was large enough to break over the bow of the ship, causing it to rock back and forth violently. The fox saw the thing sway and sent a second wave racing towards the vessel.\n\n\tThe second crash caught the ship as it was recoiling back to an upright position. This caused the boat to capsize ending up on its backside, upside down. Bunson suddenly found himself underwater. Luckily the pocket created by the bridge allowed for the water with less force since it was somewhat enclosed. Holding his breath, the rabbit began to swim to get back to the surface.\n\n\tBefore long he was able to emerge, taking a deep breath as if he had been down there longer than he had been. Daniel had stopped creating waves at this point as it wasn’t his goal to injure the other cub. The fox walked over and started to look for the rabbit. The rabbit noticed this and began waving toward him. The bigger cub cupped his hand and submerged it underneath the tiny boy to pick him up.\n\n\tWith his free paw, he picked the crestfallen ship back up. He was now tired of the water and started to make his way to the stares. Bunson couldn’t help but sit down as he had been overspent by the whole ordeal. The movement of the other cub made it so though the wind moved quicker through his fur. The rabbit shook as the seemingly cold breeze brought a shiver down his spine.\n\n\tDaniel felt the shaking and closed his fist. The change was immediate and welcome even know it closed off the sun for the smaller boy. The fox kit brought him out of the pool and used his spare paw to dry himself. It was much harder than he realized especially since he only had one free paw. Regardless, he was able to manage it. It just took longer than it normally did. Once he had dried off, he made his way inside.\n\n\tThe cool of the AC hit both of the boys. Even with the closed nature of Danny’s fist, some of the air was able to filter through. Bunson shivered once again, but so too did the fox. The bigger cub brought the smaller one into his room and directly into the bathroom. He figured that the both of them needed a bath but knew that the scorbunny was much too small for anything intricate.\n\n\tTurning on the faucet, he warmed the water under his spare paw and made sure the drain was closed off so that the sink collected water. Daniel allowed it to build up a bit as a small puddle of water grew within the basin. Opening his hand, he cradled the rabbit as he rolled slowly to the bath below. The warmth of the water was welcoming to Bunson, who had no idea just what Daniel was doing. \n\n\tThe fox squirted some of the handsoap into the water.\n\n“Alright, bathe yourself. I’m sure you want privacy. I’m the same way.” Daniel walked away from the sink after turning off the water.\n\nBoth boys spent the next few moments bathing themselves. The fox enjoyed warm showers, enough that the mist of the warm water dispersed through the room. When Daniel was done, he felt much better. He dried himself off, much quicker than normal as he wanted to check on Bunson. He found that the rabbit was just floating around in the water, seeming way too relaxed considering his situation.\n\nDaniel hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself of what else he could do with the boy in his current state. He wondered if Bunson had been enjoying himself or not as it had all been in good fun. He did not know the trauma he had caused the other boy. An idea popped into his head as he smiled once more. The fox reached into the sink and carried out the sleepy cub from within. Bunson was so relaxed that the sudden grasp caused his heart to skip a beat.\n\nUpon opening his eyes, he saw the familiar sight of the giant cub. Bunson couldn’t help but wonder when he would return to normal. He was sore from the experiences of the day and just wanted to chill, though he still trusted the other cub even despite what he had been put through.\n\n“Alright, so here’s your challenge. I am going to put some clothes on and place you on my foot. If you can manage to make it up to my chin, then I will turn you back to normal. If not, then you have to stay this way until it wears off.”\n\nBunson knew he had no choice in the matter and huffed silently among himself. Daniel began walking once again. Each step he took caused the cub in his grasp to roll back in forth. By this point, he had become used to it and it didn’t bother him as much.\n\n\tDaniel made his way over to his wardrobe and pulled out some clothes. He placed the tiny cub on the shelf on the top and looked at him closely.\n\n“Alright no looking while I get dressed or I will leave you this way.” The fox \n\nOf course, Bunson wasn’t about to look. He wasn’t interested in that sort of thing, so he turned around. Once he did, the fox took notice and began to get dressed. It didn’t take him long since it was just a simple t-shirt, shorts, and boxers. After he finished he tapped the cabinet top to signal that he was done.\n\n\tDaniel held out his hand so that Bunson could climb on it. Once again he complied as he was intent on doing as he told since it was likely he would be returned to normal if he played along. The kit grabbed a book before turning to his bed. The fox brought him to the mattress where he sat down and eased himself so that he was near the middle of it. He rearranged the pillow so that he was sitting in an upright position and placed the book in his lap.\n\n\tThe fox leaned over and held his hand so that it was over the ankle of his foot. Daniel eased out the small bunny inside and allowed him to roll from within. Once Bunson was free he clung onto a divot on Mile’s ankle, giving him enough traction to remain in place. Daniel eased himself back and relaxed before starting to begin reading the book in his hands. Bunson looked before him and all he could see was orange fur and the mountain of the boy’s chest before him. Taking a deep breath he began the ascent.\n\n\tBunson had no claws to speak of, so he had to use the other cub’s fur as grappling areas. Each fiber of fur served as a makeshift rope for him. His weight wasn’t nearly enough to rip them out. He began to climb up the length of Mile’s leg. The curvature of each side offered an easier terrain to handle than he expected. It was only once he got to the cub’s knee that he had any sort of difficulty.\n\n\tSince the cub was mostly resting, his knee cap wasn’t extended. Bunson was able to ease himself over it, straddling each side of it with one of his legs as he surmounted it. As he was reaching the other side, he almost lost his grip and clutched desperately trying to maintain his position. The rabbit looked up and saw the cub was engrossed in his book. He knew he needed to do this on his own and puffed out his chest proudly, ready to take on the challenge.\n\n\tThe upper portion of the leg was no more difficult than the lower one. Bunson continued pushing himself forward using the own strength of his back legs and the grappling points offered by Daniel fur. Before long he was able to come up on the lower rim of Mile’s shorts. He could almost see inside the clothing but it was too dark to do so. Pulling himself up the ring of the shorts was more challenging than the fur, but he was able to power through it after a few seconds.\n\tThe fabric of the shorts was smooth. Bunson felt like it was nylon but couldn’t be sure. It offered very little traction for him to grab on. He looked around and noticed there was threading on the side of the legs. He worked it out in his head that this would be the best possible route of going up the boy since the rest of his body was in an upright position now. The scorbunny worked his way over to the seam of the pants and began tugging on it.\n\n\tAfter a few tries, he found wasn’t quite able to grab a hold of it. Each time he did so, his hand slipped and he wasn’t able to pull himself up. Bunson looked around again, searching for another alternative. He noticed that the pocket of the shorts hung relatively low and considered using that. He figured that so long as he avoided falling in that he could use the opening of the fabric as a way to pull his way up.\n\n\tHe guided himself over towards the pocket. He was just tall enough to reach it and used a ripped side of it to grab ahold of. With both hands, he was able to mount it and stand atop it. The sound of fabric pulling could be heard as he knew he needed to move fast. Bunson slinked to the other side of the pocket, which was much closer to the wooden surface of the back of the bed. Now he didn’t have to worry about falling as much.\n\n\tOnce again he began climbing, this time using the wood of the backboard as a spring point for him to use his powerful legs on. Now that he had a better footing, he was better able to use the strength of his legs to his advantage. Bunson was making very quick progress now, the fabric of the shirt proving to be a better grip than the pants were. It wasn’t long before he reached the shoulder of the other cub.\n\n\tNow all that was left was tapping the chin of the other cub. Daniel hadn’t specified where, so standing up on his tippy toes he reached for the bottom of the fox’s snout. He wasn’t able to reach it and shimmied over so that he was right in the crack created by the boy’s neck. Daniel could now feel the cub pushing against his jugular. He adjusted himself a bit and reached towards him. With two of his fingers, he grasped the cub from his position and the strange sensation coming from the alien touch came to an end.\n\n\tHolding him near his face, Daniel peered down at the tiny cub and spoke to him in a low volume.\n“Alright, you win.” The fox got up from his bed after putting the book down.\n\nThe fox placed the cub safely in his paw and walked towards his lab. By this point, Bunson knew to lay down flat as it would prevent him from rolling around. He braced himself in the palm of the other cub as Daniel took slow and methodical steps towards the room downstairs.\n\n\tDaniel started to look for his ray gun. He hadn’t used it before but was confident enough in his work. Once he located it, he picked it up with his spare paw and brought the cub over to the table.\n\n“Alright brace yourself.” The fox moved away from the table and grabbed some goggles before putting them on.\nBunson watched as the bigger boy aimed the gun at him. The red nozzle pointed right towards him. A sense of fear and anxiety came over him but he knew he had no choice other than to trust the other boy.\n\n\tThe kit pulled the trigger and a small purple ray ejected from the tip. It raced forward at light speed and hit Bunson directly. It seemed that Daniel had pretty good aim. Once the shot had hit him, the rabbit felt incredibly warm as the energy of the beam was running through him. The fox released the trigger and waited for results. Both boys remained silent as if neither knew what to expect.\n\nFor the first minute or so, nothing happened. Almost two minutes passed Bunson began to feel incredibly warm and even uncomfortable. Little by little his body began to expand. At first, it was difficult to make out but before long the results were evident as the speck on the table grew ever larger. Daniel watched in interest, throwing the boy a towel so he could maintain his vanity.\n\n\tAs the rabbit grew on the table, the metal surface. His increase in mass put extra stress on the table as it folded against the stress of his weight. Bunson’s body returned to normal before long, his entire form rather sore from the ordeal. He had worked up a sweat from the change in body temperature. Daniel disappeared for a moment before returning with some stuff for Bunson to wear.\n\n“Just return these tomorrow and you can borrow them.” The fox acted as if nothing had happened.\n\n\tThe scorbunny picked himself off the table and got dressed behind the blinder situated by where the emergency shower was situated. When he was done he looked over at the still bigger fox, not entirely sure of what to make of what had just happened to him. The two looked awkwardly at each other for a moment, neither seeming to know what to say.\n\n“I guess I’ll see you tomorrow?” Bunson didn’t harbor any ill will about the whole ordeal.\n\nDaniel nodded “Sure, maybe we can hang out and work on something.”\n\n“Sure, as long as your promise to not do that again.” The smaller cub stared at the other boy intently.\nThe fox shrugged. “Sure, I guess.” \n\n\tDaniel crossed his fingers behind his back. The rabbit went home, thinking to himself. At least he had made a new friend, or so he thought. His mind immediately switched to working on his next project and a better way to best his friend. After all…he needed to get even. He couldn’t let Daniel get the best of him. Bunson promised himself…I will get him back and show him who’s who!\n\t", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Getting Even By Pent Ghelsburg

You have been warned.

\tYou stand among the podium, equally represented with each of the others who have participated in the competition. Loudspeakers announce the award distribution process and you look around, searching for the one who would deliver it to a worthy competitor. You are certain your entry is worthy of praise. You’ve looked at the other projects and feel like they don’t quite meet the mark. You must win…you have to…your pride depends on it.

\tThe fever pitch of the moment is real for any person participating in such an event. Nerves are at an end and one’s heart races, not knowing what to expect. Such confidence comes at a price, especially when in one’s youth when a person’s goals can be loftier than reality allows. But such things are allowable, so long as the friendly nature of the games are maintained and everyone keeps within the guidelines of expected behaviors.

\tIt is the weekend that everyone in school had been waiting for. Well…everyone is a strong word but the excitement was still present all the same. Posters were placarded across the hallway advertising the event as another annual repetition of the school science fair. No one knew the prizes at stake, the people in charge always kept those kinds of things under the nose. But to those who were interested, it mattered not.

\tBunson was a young boy who went to the Mayberry Day school. A private institution situated just outside of the city proper, where both well-to-do kids and those who were able to get scholarships were afforded the opportunity of private education. Already well into the 6th grade, the young Scorbunny was a budding scientist who knew nothing more exciting than the thrill of discovery.

\tEvery year the rabbit cub had entered the science competition with unparalleled tact. He was just about the only kid in his grade who participated and even before he was formally allowed to enter, he insisted that he was able to gauge the entries. Bunson always had some sort of a plan in mind of what he wanted to work on. He felt like the other projects were juvenile each year, yet he had never come out on top.

\tThis year was different, he told himself. He had endeavored to work with the science department in fleshing out ideas. Of course each of the pitches that he made to them, they had heard before. The elder headmistress of science was well past her prime and she oversaw the competition year in and year out. The older marrowak woman was constantly told by the admin to retire and yet even in her golden years, she continued for the love of seeing the kids produce.

\tEowatha, as she was known, was infamous around the school. She was hardnosed and took the fair very seriously. She was the most strict judge, even to students she had in the past. She harbored no favoritism and some thought that her expectations might have been too high for the younger students. But every so often there was a student who went above and beyond and earned her graces. This year, Bunson wanted to be that student because as of yet he had not been noticed by her and this bothered him.

\tEvery day after school Bunson had been allowed to come after hours to spend some extra time in the labs to work on his project. He had already settled on making some a soil moisture sensor. The school had its garden and recently the scorbunny had learned that the greenery club had been struggling to maintain a sufficient water cycle. Bunson had heard about moisture sensors before and figured he could run some diagnostics to make one workable for the garden.

\tBunson wasn’t much of an electrician. The circuitry on the solder board was proving hard to wire and the cub had no experience in wiring the breadboard. He found a few tutorials on the internet but each time he tried something different, the wiring short-circuited and provided no response other than some fizzing out. Luckily for the cub, he hadn’t shocked himself and it hadn’t injured his determination.

\tOne day one of the other boys in the lab noticed his struggles. It had been a few days since he had made any real progress and Bunson was beginning to show noticeable frustration. The other cub was an orange fox who was slightly older and more advanced than the rabbit himself. The two had never formally met before but the bigger boy figured he could be a good citizen and offer his assistance in the matter.

\tThe fox approached the smaller boy who was nursing his finger, which he had nicked along the edge of the circuit board. Bunson was busy sucking at the wound and didn’t even notice the other boy approaching his station.

“Need some help there?” The fox asked as he walked closer from behind and tapped the other cub on the shoulder.

Bunson looked behind him and saw someone he didn’t immediately recognize. “Uh…no? Who are you?”

The rabbit’s sense of confidence wouldn’t let some stranger overcome his certainty of the solution to his problem.

“I think you do. I’ve been watching you the past few days and you’ve been working on the same part of the project.”

The scorbunny huffed. “Naw…I’m fine. Really….” He said with his mouth still half full from his finger.

“Mmm. Your injury says otherwise. Move over.” The fox was more than strong enough to push the smaller cub to the side.

Bunson wasn’t prepared to stand his ground as he was nudged over. He watched silently as the fox picked up the soldering tool and started connecting the connectors to the insertion points on the end of the board.

\tBunson watched as one by one they were connected with ease. The other cub wasn’t shocked a single time, nor did he burn himself with the soldering iron.

“See? All done. Now watch it in action.” The fox hooked up a small red light to one of the ends of the connectors and put the other in a glass of water.

The little light burned brightly as it reacted to the presence of moisture. Bunson crossed his arms defensively, feeling a little offended by just how easy the other cub was able to accomplish the task.

The scorbunny huffed. “Thanks…”

“No problem. My name is Daniel. What’s yours?” The bigger boy extended his paw out in a gesture of greeting.

The rabbit hesitated a second before meekly shaking the extended appendage. “Bunson…”

“Want to see mine?” Daniel let go of the tools and let them sit on the table in front of him.

Bunson rolled his eyes. “ I guess.”

\tThe fox started to walk away and it took a moment for Bunson to follow in behind him. Daniel’s table was a few rows behind Bunson, near the back of the room. When they arrived, Bunson’s eyes grew wide in awe as he looked at a very large object in front of him. At first, he didn’t know exactly what it was and waited for his new friend to reveal its purpose.

“What do you think?” The older fox assumed the other cub knew what it was.

Bunson let out an audible “Uh” before responding. “What is it?”

“It’s a density tower. Each layer is a different solution, represented by the different hues in the liquids themselves.”

The scorbunny’s mouth gaped in surprise. “That’s… cool.”

“Thanks. I got the idea from a book I was reading recently.” Daniel scratched his head and blushed ever so slightly.

Bunson peered in closer and then backed away from the project. “Well…thanks for helping me.”

“No problem. Don’t hesitate to ask if you need help again.” The kit puffed out his chest proudly.

The scorbunny walked away with his head hanging low. He felt defeated and suddenly realized his project wasn’t quite as great as he initially had hoped.

\tUpon returning to his desk, he slammed his paw on the table and smashed the little circuit board. The bottom of his paw reeled in pain as the small spikes in the object drove into him. He shook his paw, feeling stupid that he didn’t’ just throw the thing away. The rabbit continued to sulk as he sat there doing nothing for the remainder of the afterschool activity. All he wanted to do was go home now and think nothing more about the perceived failed experiment he had just produced.

\tThe end of the day came before long and Bunson was the last one out of the room. As he was exiting Eowatha checked in on him. It wasn’t like him to not call her over multiple times and Bunson had been more or less silent for the hour. He insisted to her that he was fine and went without another word. Of course, she suspected something else was up, but she didn’t know the extent of it.

\tBunson went outside where his father was already waiting for him in the car. The cub was moving slower than usual and the older man guessed something was bothering him just based on his body language alone.

“What’s wrong, kiddo?” The man asked as his son filed into the vehicle from the passenger side.

Bunson sighed. “Nothing.”

“I don’t think so. Come on you can tell me. Who knows? Maybe I can help.” The father reached over and patted the cub on the shoulder.

The young boy rolled his eyes. “Just my project is going bad.”

“I see. Well, maybe you just need a new idea then.” He removed his touch and returned it to the wheel in front of him.

The cub let out a sigh. “Well, duh.”

“You don’t’ need to be rude. I’m just trying to help.” The older male started to drive, trying to ignore his son’s disrespect.

Bunson lowered his head. “Sorry.”

“No problem. Let’s go home and have some ice cream. That will cheer you up.” He said with a huge smile on his face.

The drive home wasn’t long as they made their way from the school to their apartment complex. The family lived in a small community with a bunch of other families, all of which had kids of various ages.

\tThe entire community was loosely knit and lived there only for the purpose that it was located near the center of town. The father and son made their way up the stairs once they arrived at the complex. Bunson continued moping around until they were inside. The older man served his kid some ice cream at the kitchen table. The cub’s face lit up once he saw the sugary treat as the ice cream was one of his favorite treats.

“So, why don’t you do a simple project like a volcano something?” The man suggested as it had been quite a while since he’d done a project of his own.

Bunson spoke with his mouth half full with ice cream. “Be craw in eas”

“Don’t speak with your mouth full.” The father sat down at the table across from his son.

The younger scorbunny swallowed and spoke again. “Because it’s easy.”

“So what? Then you wouldn’t be so frustrated by it.” The older rabbit eased back in the chair and relaxed.

Bunson hummed. “I guess your right. Maybe I can just make a spin on it or something.”

“There you go. That’s the spirit. No more being glum, alright? I don’t like seeing you like that. Oh…and don’t tell your mother I gave you ice cream.” He got up and playfully slapped the boy on the back.

\tBunson was left to finish his treat. Once he did, he wiped his mouth and made his way back to the room. Already his mind was considering a replacement project. He figured he could find something on the internet if he looked. All he wanted now was to one-up Daniel and he would do it no matter the cost. He hurried to his computer and pulled up the chair before turning the device on.

\tHe began to search through the internet on various science resources. Eventually, he came upon a galvanometer project that he felt like he could pull off. Bunson made a few notes based on what he read and noted the materials necessary for it. He figured he could base the readings compared to a digital one and see how accurate it was. The rabbit hoped it would be enough to one-up Daniel, but time would tell if that was the case.

\tOver the next few days, Bunson began work in full on his galvanometer. It was a rather quick process compared to the circuitry project. This was because it was much easier for him to comprehend than the more challenging task of wiring the breadboard. Every so often he would check in on Daniel who was just mostly browsing around now since his project was past complete at this point.

\tDaniel had appointed himself as the official ambassador of the project afterschool activity despite Eowatha not having any input on it. She didn’t mind since she had other kids to worry about who were much needier than the fox was so she wasn’t about to protest. Every so often he would pass by Bunson who said nothing to him but instead eyed him warily. It was like the rabbit was sizing him up despite the lack of interest from the other party.

\tBefore long the day come when pre-judging was to occur. Eowatha was charged with predicting what projects would be shown at the fair and which ones would not. To say that Bunson was nervous would be an understatement. The cubs were not allowed to invite their parents and so the scorbunny felt entirely alone. Looking over at Daniel, the fox had his arms folded confidently while waiting for the judge to come to his table.

\tEowatha moved slowly across the room, the audience keeping a close eye on her to discern any weakness she might have had that day. She was methodical with each of the projects she looked over. She touched the ones which she was able to and gave a close look to them, judging them rather harshly. Frown after frown, the woman turned down cub after cub, no matter how good their project was.

\tShe eventually got over to Daniel who had been patiently waiting for her. He proudly showed off his density tower, explaining the thing to her to the best of his ability. She had seen this sort of thing before and it didn’t impress her. Much to the fox’s chagrin she brushed him off and declined his entry. The look on his face was unmistakable as Bunson looked upon him with glee.

\tThe scorbunny was next. All he could hope for was the galvanometer to work as it was supposed to. He plugged it into the battery to allow it to show the flux in the reading and then did the same with the control charge. She walked over to him and didn’t say a word. Bunson began explaining the object to her, hypothesizing the reading on quite a few batteries. She reached into her pocket and decided to throw him a curveball.

“Correctly guess the reading using your device on this phone and I will consider your entry.” She held out a flip phone and popped out the battery from inside.

\tBunson smirked as he took the flat battery and plugged it in. The little meter showed a 60% charge and he relayed that to her.

“Very nice. Great job. You’re in.” She said as she retracted the battery from him.

The rabbit’s smile grew ever wider upon hearing those words. He made sure to beam his pearly whites over at Daniel who looked on him with envy. The fox gritted his teeth and ground his paws into a fist.

\tThe woman continued her way around the rest of the room, qualifying only a total of four projects. Bunson felt very proud of himself, jumping in place when he found out just how few had been included. When she retired to her desk and dismissed the cubs, Daniel made his way to where the other boy was standing.

“Nice job, dude. How’d you like to celebrate by coming to my place and hanging out.” The fox reached over and put his arm over the smaller boy’s shoulder.

Bunson’s stomach twisted into a knot, he had never been asked to hang out before. “Really?”

“Yeah, sure. Why not? I have some games we could play or I could show you some of my inventions.” Daniel hadn’t asked his parents but figured they’d be fine with it.

The younger cub let out an audible. “Uh…sure. I guess.”

“Cool, let’s go. You can call your parents on the way to my place.” The fox let go of the other boy and started to take the lead.

\tBunson wasn’t sure what to make of the invitation but he was excited all the same. They walked together out of the school, next to each other. The entire time the scorbunny’s face maintained the same smirk from before. He was still rather proud of himself and was giving off soft confidence rather than gloating about it. Every time Daniel looked over at him, he couldn’t help but notice it and it annoyed him each time even more.

\tThe two walked over to the bike rack as Daniel had stored his bike there and assumed Bunson had done the same. The fox learned he didn’t have one and decided to allow him to ride the back on the pegs. The scorbunny was a bit hesitant about it but eventually warmed up to the idea. He latched onto the bigger cub’s shoulders and pulled himself up as Daniel made his way out of the lot and onto the sidewalks.

\tDaniel’ house wasn’t far from the school. His family lived a short distance from it. The fox’s den was along a short stretch along the main streets with houses of various designs. As they passed by them, Bunson noted that they looked rather ritzy compared to the houses that he lived near. Upon arriving at the fox’s house, Daniel reached into his pocket and handed over his phone. Bunson understood that he needed to call his parents.

\tThe scorbunny dialed the number and waited for an answer. He assumed they wouldn’t pick up since they wouldn’t recognize the number.

“What’s your number?” Bunson asked as he would need to leave feedback.

Daniel shared his number and the smaller cub proceeded to leave a message with the number attached. It wasn’t long before they returned the call and confirmed that they were fine with the arrangement.

\tThe excitement bubbled inside of Bunson as he was anxious to see what the other boy’s house was like. Daniel led inside towards the living room of the humble abode. It was a single-story home but was quite well decorated. The fox’s mother was an interior decorator and took great pride in making her house match the love she had for her occupation. Everything had its place in the room with pictures hung up all over the walls.

“You want something to drink?” The fox asked as he headed towards the kitchen.

Bunson nodded. “Sure. I’m not picky. I’ll take whatever.”

“Great. Head back to my room at the end of the hall. I’ll be there in a second.” The bigger boy pointed down the hall in the direction of his room.

\tBunson understood where he needed to go. It was pretty obvious since the hallway didn’t have any offshoots except for a few. The sign on the cub’s wall made it even easier to find. Daniel in the meanwhile had gone into the kitchen to prepare some drinks. Already in his mind, he had made plans of getting revenge on the younger cub. He hated nothing more than being outdone, especially in the field of science where he considered himself the best.

\tHe went into the medicine cabinet and pulled out a small green vial. The label on it was old and tattered and he could barely make out the word “Reducer”. The fox shook the bottle and could hear the tattering of pills inside. Daniel opened the small jar and poured out a single pill into his paw. He closed the top and replaced the jar on the shelf. Now carrying the pill, he took it over to the fridge and pulled out two juice bottles.

\tThe fox unscrewed the cap and delivered the pill into the apple juice and placed it in his left paw. He made sure to keep his own in his opposite hand and closed the door of the fridge with his butt. His tail casually swayed behind him as he walked back towards his room. When he arrived inside, he saw that Bunson had already made himself comfortable and was lazing back on his computer chair.

\tDaniel made his way over to the chair and handed him the apple juice before sipping on his own. Bunson took the small bottle of juice from his friend’s paw and began drinking it.

“Thanks.” He said as a small drip of the stuff slipped out of his maw.

The fox smirked as he watched the boy drink the stuff but he was careful not to make too much of an obvious ordeal about it.

“So what do you like to do? Do you like video games?” The kit asked as he wasn’t sure if the other boy’s hobbies.

The rabbit hummed as he thought about it, continuing to empty the bottle. “Yeah, do you have a switch?”

“Yeah, I do. What do you want to play?” Daniel headed towards his entertainment center where the console was stored.

Bunson let out an audible “Um…How about Arms?”

“Alright, I have that…” It had been quite a while since he’d played that game but he figured he would satiate the other cub’s request.

\tDaniel pulled out the cabinet that housed the game. He distributed the controllers to an area on the floor and patted it as he sat down. Bunson joined him on the carpet beside his friend. Upon doing so he was feeling light-headed. He couldn’t think straight as his vision turned blurry and his body felt lighter than it normally did. The rabbit blinked a few times, trying to get rid of the obscured vision but it didn’t seem to be working.

Daniel looked over and smirked once again. “You alright?”

\tBunson wasn’t able to answer as he sat there stupefied by the chemicals coursing through his body. He laid back thinking that the odd feeling of loftiness would go away. Little by little his body began to wither away. His formerly well-fitting clothes started to sag on his body as he lost the mass he had gained over the last year. Daniel watched with interest as the cub shrank before his eyes.

\tThe scorbunny curled up into the fetal position as his clothing began to ball up in little pools all around him. Before long, his shoes slid off his feet as they were now much too small to fit him now. The smile on Daniel face grew even wider as the other boy became ever smaller as he watched. His shirt now stretched well beyond his upper thighs clothing he was wearing bundled up around him.

\tAnother minute or so passed and the rabbit seemingly vanished into the very clothing he was wearing a few moments ago. Daniel chuckled as he realized his plan had come to fruition. Now he had the cub where he wanted and he was certain to learn a lesson. Reaching over he began to gently look through the clothing. With each movement of the fabric, the rabbit within was moved around and his body rolled around from side to side.

\tBunson awoke to the sight of darkness all around him. His body was spinning around and his stomach was churning from the apparent motion sickness he was experiencing. It didn’t take long for the rabbit to roll out from within the confines of the fabric. The scorbunny squinted as his eyes struggled to adjust to the sudden change in light. Daniel looked down upon him in his paw, kicking the clothing to the side.

\tIt took a few seconds for Bunson to recover as his eyes returned to their normal state. Once he did, he found himself looking at a seemingly huge fox boy before him. The cub rubbed his eyes, believing that he was dreaming. Of course, when he refocused he found that was not the case.

“What happened to me…?” He squeaked.

Daniel could not make out what he said as the sound waves were not strong enough to reach him. The fox got an idea as he started to walk.

\tThe kit made his way to his closet, making sure to keep his hand flat. Each step he took, the boy on his paw rolled back and forth. Bunson covered his maw as he was certain he would hurl at any moment. Luckily for him, the bigger boy stopped in his tracks as he was looking for something. Daniel was rifling through his closet to find his model airplane. His closet was extraordinarily well organized for a boy his age and he took great pride in his cleanliness.

\tDaniel found the little toy and pulled it out, holding it in his spare paw. Balancing both the toy and the tiny boy in his other paw was more challenging than he originally thought. He had to make sure that Bunson didn’t fall from the platform of his paw as he might get hurt if he did. The fox arranged the little plane so that it was laid flat on the floor. Picking up the small cub between two of his fingers, he placed the tiny boy in the pilot seat of the vehicle.
\tBunson struggled to break free but soon found that his might was no match for the seemingly humungous child he was trying to overcome. Once he was in the chair, he continued to squirm. Soon Daniel picked up the plane and began to glide it through the air. The scorbunnys eyes grew wide as he raced through the room at what he perceived to be a frighteningly fast rate. The g-force of the motion was more than enough to push his body back in the chair.

\tDaniel brought the thing up and down, acting as if it were a real plane. He imitated the sound of a revving engine as he propelled it through the air, around him in circles. After a few minutes of this, he was feeling a bit dizzy and stopped the motion of the plane allowing it to land on the ground as he allowed his senses to normalize.  This allowed Bunson to recover a bit as his nausea returned to not an unsettling state.

\tDaniel soon grew restless as he reached his fingers inside the plane to pry the boy out from the driver’s seat. As like last time, Bunson squirmed when he was picked up but once again it proved to be fruitless. The fox put away the small plane and put it in the same spot he had put in before so that it could be found easily later. He then began to search through his stuff for the next exciting part in the plan for vengeance.

\tDaniel searched through his stuff for an RC boat that he had made a few months back. It was one of his prized possessions as he had modified the thing into a super boat that far exceeded the speed of any other RC boat. It was on a platform near the back of his closet. He lifted the thing out of its makeshift dock and placed it under his arm. The entire time Bunson was watching with horror, considering what he could have in mind with the device.

\tThe fox took the boat and tiny cub outside to the pool. It was a cool day out and leaves were strewn across the lawn as no one had raked the yard in some time. He placed the boat near the shallow end of the water and held his paw open. Bunson looked up at his friend, not knowing what he expected. The fox nudged him forward as if he was walking the plank and he was forced into the deck of the small toy shop.

\tThe kit disappeared for a second to go find the controller. Bunson looked around and considered trying to make a run for it. The ledge of the pool was much too high for him to climb now. Looking across the pool, it resembled a lake to him now and he was uncertain if he could make it to the other side by the time Daniel returned. However, by the time he thought about it he heard a familiar voice.

“You might want to buckle up…” The fox warned his friend.

\tBunson overheard the voice and quickly found the only seat on the vessel. The moment he did, Daniel pushed the lever back on the controller. The little boat shot forward and popped through the water, breaking across the waves as it skated across the surface. Each time the boat popped up and down, the scorbunnys head reeled back and forth. The whiplash he was getting was more aggressive than he could handle.

\tDaniel wished he had a ramp to run the boat off of but knew it would likely end up badly due to the limited space of the pool. He continued running it around the perimeter of the water as it made quick rounds of the water.  As he grew tired of it he brought the little boat to the center of the pool and proceeded to do a few donuts. This was more than Bunson could handle and he gagged, causing some vomit to spill over him.

\tThe RC vehicle eventually ran out of battery and came to a sputtering stop at the center. Daniel felt stupid that he didn’t see the signs that it was dying and decided that he would need to get into the pool to recover the boat. He disappeared for a moment once again, which Bunson didn’t notice since his head was now hung low trying to recover from the loss of bodily fluids. The cub was completely haunched over and badly wanted some water to get rid of the foul taste in his mouth.

\tIt wasn’t long before Daniel returned in his bathing suit. The bigger cub dove straight into the deep end of the pool, sending a wave crashing towards the tiny cub passenger. The small boat rocked back and forth as the cub onboard held onto one of the railings in an attempt to maintain his footing. Luckily for him, there were only a few waves that rocked the boat until it settled down once again. Bunson lurched forward and grabbed the wheel in front of them, taking a deep sigh of relief as he laid there idly for a moment.

\tDaniel walked towards the small boat as he was in the shallow portion of the pool. He submerged himself about halfway in the water so that his head was just about level with the boat. The fox could just about make out the tiny captain who was haunched over the plastic console in the bridge of the boat.

\tA smirk crept across the young kit’s face as he came up with an idea. He backed away from the boat and pushed his hands into the water as a wave began to emerge. Daniel broke the water with as much force as he could muster. The water cascaded forward as it lurched toward the small boat. The wave was large enough to break over the bow of the ship, causing it to rock back and forth violently. The fox saw the thing sway and sent a second wave racing towards the vessel.

\tThe second crash caught the ship as it was recoiling back to an upright position. This caused the boat to capsize ending up on its backside, upside down. Bunson suddenly found himself underwater. Luckily the pocket created by the bridge allowed for the water with less force since it was somewhat enclosed. Holding his breath, the rabbit began to swim to get back to the surface.

\tBefore long he was able to emerge, taking a deep breath as if he had been down there longer than he had been. Daniel had stopped creating waves at this point as it wasn’t his goal to injure the other cub. The fox walked over and started to look for the rabbit. The rabbit noticed this and began waving toward him. The bigger cub cupped his hand and submerged it underneath the tiny boy to pick him up.

\tWith his free paw, he picked the crestfallen ship back up. He was now tired of the water and started to make his way to the stares. Bunson couldn’t help but sit down as he had been overspent by the whole ordeal. The movement of the other cub made it so though the wind moved quicker through his fur. The rabbit shook as the seemingly cold breeze brought a shiver down his spine.

\tDaniel felt the shaking and closed his fist. The change was immediate and welcome even know it closed off the sun for the smaller boy. The fox kit brought him out of the pool and used his spare paw to dry himself. It was much harder than he realized especially since he only had one free paw. Regardless, he was able to manage it. It just took longer than it normally did. Once he had dried off, he made his way inside.

\tThe cool of the AC hit both of the boys. Even with the closed nature of Danny’s fist, some of the air was able to filter through. Bunson shivered once again, but so too did the fox. The bigger cub brought the smaller one into his room and directly into the bathroom. He figured that the both of them needed a bath but knew that the scorbunny was much too small for anything intricate.

\tTurning on the faucet, he warmed the water under his spare paw and made sure the drain was closed off so that the sink collected water. Daniel allowed it to build up a bit as a small puddle of water grew within the basin. Opening his hand, he cradled the rabbit as he rolled slowly to the bath below. The warmth of the water was welcoming to Bunson, who had no idea just what Daniel was doing.

\tThe fox squirted some of the handsoap into the water.

“Alright, bathe yourself. I’m sure you want privacy. I’m the same way.”  Daniel walked away from the sink after turning off the water.

Both boys spent the next few moments bathing themselves. The fox enjoyed warm showers, enough that the mist of the warm water dispersed through the room. When Daniel was done, he felt much better. He dried himself off, much quicker than normal as he wanted to check on Bunson. He found that the rabbit was just floating around in the water, seeming way too relaxed considering his situation.

Daniel hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself of what else he could do with the boy in his current state. He wondered if Bunson had been enjoying himself or not as it had all been in good fun. He did not know the trauma he had caused the other boy. An idea popped into his head as he smiled once more. The fox reached into the sink and carried out the sleepy cub from within. Bunson was so relaxed that the sudden grasp caused his heart to skip a beat.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw the familiar sight of the giant cub. Bunson couldn’t help but wonder when he would return to normal. He was sore from the experiences of the day and just wanted to chill, though he still trusted the other cub even despite what he had been put through.

“Alright, so here’s your challenge. I am going to put some clothes on and place you on my foot. If you can manage to make it up to my chin, then I will turn you back to normal. If not, then you have to stay this way until it wears off.”

Bunson knew he had no choice in the matter and huffed silently among himself.  Daniel began walking once again. Each step he took caused the cub in his grasp to roll back in forth. By this point, he had become used to it and it didn’t bother him as much.

\tDaniel made his way over to his wardrobe and pulled out some clothes. He placed the tiny cub on the shelf on the top and looked at him closely.

“Alright no looking while I get dressed or I will leave you this way.” The fox

Of course, Bunson wasn’t about to look. He wasn’t interested in that sort of thing, so he turned around. Once he did, the fox took notice and began to get dressed. It didn’t take him long since it was just a simple t-shirt, shorts, and boxers. After he finished he tapped the cabinet top to signal that he was done.

\tDaniel held out his hand so that Bunson could climb on it. Once again he complied as he was intent on doing as he told since it was likely he would be returned to normal if he played along. The kit grabbed a book before turning to his bed. The fox brought him to the mattress where he sat down and eased himself so that he was near the middle of it. He rearranged the pillow so that he was sitting in an upright position and placed the book in his lap.

\tThe fox leaned over and held his hand so that it was over the ankle of his foot. Daniel eased out the small bunny inside and allowed him to roll from within. Once Bunson was free he clung onto a divot on Mile’s ankle, giving him enough traction to remain in place. Daniel eased himself back and relaxed before starting to begin reading the book in his hands. Bunson looked before him and all he could see was orange fur and the mountain of the boy’s chest before him. Taking a deep breath he began the ascent.

\tBunson had no claws to speak of, so he had to use the other cub’s fur as grappling areas. Each fiber of fur served as a makeshift rope for him. His weight wasn’t nearly enough to rip them out. He began to climb up the length of Mile’s leg. The curvature of each side offered an easier terrain to handle than he expected. It was only once he got to the cub’s knee that he had any sort of difficulty.

\tSince the cub was mostly resting, his knee cap wasn’t extended. Bunson was able to ease himself over it, straddling each side of it with one of his legs as he surmounted it. As he was reaching the other side, he almost lost his grip and clutched desperately trying to maintain his position. The rabbit looked up and saw the cub was engrossed in his book. He knew he needed to do this on his own and puffed out his chest proudly, ready to take on the challenge.

\tThe upper portion of the leg was no more difficult than the lower one. Bunson continued pushing himself forward using the own strength of his back legs and the grappling points offered by Daniel fur. Before long he was able to come up on the lower rim of Mile’s shorts. He could almost see inside the clothing but it was too dark to do so. Pulling himself up the ring of the shorts was more challenging than the fur, but he was able to power through it after a few seconds.
\tThe fabric of the shorts was smooth. Bunson felt like it was nylon but couldn’t be sure. It offered very little traction for him to grab on. He looked around and noticed there was threading on the side of the legs. He worked it out in his head that this would be the best possible route of going up the boy since the rest of his body was in an upright position now. The scorbunny worked his way over to the seam of the pants and began tugging on it.

\tAfter a few tries, he found wasn’t quite able to grab a hold of it. Each time he did so, his hand slipped and he wasn’t able to pull himself up. Bunson looked around again, searching for another alternative. He noticed that the pocket of the shorts hung relatively low and considered using that. He figured that so long as he avoided falling in that he could use the opening of the fabric as a way to pull his way up.

\tHe guided himself over towards the pocket. He was just tall enough to reach it and used a ripped side of it to grab ahold of. With both hands, he was able to mount it and stand atop it. The sound of fabric pulling could be heard as he knew he needed to move fast. Bunson slinked to the other side of the pocket, which was much closer to the wooden surface of the back of the bed. Now he didn’t have to worry about falling as much.

\tOnce again he began climbing, this time using the wood of the backboard as a spring point for him to use his powerful legs on. Now that he had a better footing, he was better able to use the strength of his legs to his advantage. Bunson was making very quick progress now, the fabric of the shirt proving to be a better grip than the pants were. It wasn’t long before he reached the shoulder of the other cub.

\tNow all that was left was tapping the chin of the other cub. Daniel hadn’t specified where, so standing up on his tippy toes he reached for the bottom of the fox’s snout. He wasn’t able to reach it and shimmied over so that he was right in the crack created by the boy’s neck. Daniel could now feel the cub pushing against his jugular. He adjusted himself a bit and reached towards him. With two of his fingers, he grasped the cub from his position and the strange sensation coming from the alien touch came to an end.

\tHolding him near his face, Daniel peered down at the tiny cub and spoke to him in a low volume.
“Alright, you win.” The fox got up from his bed after putting the book down.

The fox placed the cub safely in his paw and walked towards his lab. By this point, Bunson knew to lay down flat as it would prevent him from rolling around. He braced himself in the palm of the other cub as Daniel took slow and methodical steps towards the room downstairs.

\tDaniel started to look for his ray gun. He hadn’t used it before but was confident enough in his work. Once he located it, he picked it up with his spare paw and brought the cub over to the table.

“Alright brace yourself.” The fox moved away from the table and grabbed some goggles before putting them on.
Bunson watched as the bigger boy aimed the gun at him. The red nozzle pointed right towards him. A sense of fear and anxiety came over him but he knew he had no choice other than to trust the other boy.

\tThe kit pulled the trigger and a small purple ray ejected from the tip. It raced forward at light speed and hit Bunson directly. It seemed that Daniel had pretty good aim. Once the shot had hit him, the rabbit felt incredibly warm as the energy of the beam was running through him. The fox released the trigger and waited for results. Both boys remained silent as if neither knew what to expect.

For the first minute or so, nothing happened.  Almost two minutes passed Bunson began to feel incredibly warm and even uncomfortable.  Little by little his body began to expand. At first, it was difficult to make out but before long the results were evident as the speck on the table grew ever larger. Daniel watched in interest, throwing the boy a towel so he could maintain his vanity.

\tAs the rabbit grew on the table, the metal surface. His increase in mass put extra stress on the table as it folded against the stress of his weight. Bunson’s body returned to normal before long, his entire form rather sore from the ordeal. He had worked up a sweat from the change in body temperature. Daniel disappeared for a moment before returning with some stuff for Bunson to wear.

“Just return these tomorrow and you can borrow them.” The fox acted as if nothing had happened.

\tThe scorbunny picked himself off the table and got dressed behind the blinder situated by where the emergency shower was situated. When he was done he looked over at the still bigger fox, not entirely sure of what to make of what had just happened to him. The two looked awkwardly at each other for a moment, neither seeming to know what to say.

“I guess I’ll see you tomorrow?” Bunson didn’t harbor any ill will about the whole ordeal.

Daniel nodded “Sure, maybe we can hang out and work on something.”

“Sure, as long as your promise to not do that again.” The smaller cub stared at the other boy intently.
The fox shrugged. “Sure, I guess.”

\tDaniel crossed his fingers behind his back. The rabbit went home, thinking to himself. At least he had made a new friend, or so he thought. His mind immediately switched to working on his next project and a better way to best his friend. After all…he needed to get even. He couldn’t let Daniel get the best of him. Bunson promised himself…I will get him back and show him who’s who!
