Cast: Buster, Babs and Shorty.
A short story of Buster and what he dreamt. Will his dream come true?
How does his girl and his friend react to this? An interesting story
of love and friendship. My first short story and hopfully my best.

     Swept with darkness, Buster struggles through the covering leaves in
the dark. There was no end to the smothering leaves. It seemed that
there was no escape. Then it cleared and finally he was out of cluster
of leaves. He walked though the darkness for what seemed like hours until he
saw Babs with his friend Shorty. The only thing that was different about them
was what they were doing. Buster stood in shock as he saw them kissing!
And such a passionate kiss.
     He saw them rub skin agianst fur. Their lips move like waves. He
stood frozen as he saw them make love. Shorty moved his lips up and
down upon Babs' lips. Babs was losing pounds as she did this and
looked lovelier by the pound. It was sickening too see his girl kissing
his friend. He ran to them to stop the horror.
     He ran for miles and was tired when he reached them. The two
separated and Babs tripped Buster and he fell between them. He turned
around to see them laughing at him. They pointed at him and laughed louder.
He couldn't bear it, he started shaking his head with his hands on
each side.
     "Noooooooooo!" he screamed as the horror washed over him.
     Buster eyes opened and he breathed like he had been under water
too long. He was sweating and recalled his dream. He tightened his fist as he
remembered and said, "Shorty."

     Shorty is a young magician in training at level two. So there are
alot of things he cannot do. He wore a purple shirt, jeans, glasses and
an orange cap. He is called Shorty because Merlin thought it would be
funny for him to have a name like that. This is just to give you an image
of what he looks like. Back to the story...

     Buster stormed through the school hall the next day, disregarding
toons in front of him by just pushing them out his way. Babs saw him
pass by at her locker and saw the look on his face. She dashed after
him, wondering what wrong with him.
     "Buster." she shouted, but he didn't respond. She bumbed into other
toons, and that prevented her from catching him. BAM!! Shorty was
slammed against the wall by Buster. Shorty stood shocked at this, watching
Buster's cold eyes. Babs came up to them out of breath.
     "Whoa (pant), Buster, what's the (pant) rush?" Babs said.
     "I wanna know how long you two were dating behind my back," growled
Buster.
     "What? Where did you think up that?" Babs remarked.
     "Buster, why don't you let go of me and explain it to her." Shorty said.
     "Not until you answer my question."
     "I didn't want to do this..." Shorty said sadly and pointed at Buster
with his fore and middle fingers together. Suddenly, Buster was lifted
in the air. His feet were at the same level as the top of the lockers.
     "Shorty, put him down." Babs pleaded.
     "All right." He lowered his fingers and Buster was let down until
his feet reached the floor.
     "Buster," she began, "what do you mean by me and Shorty dating?"
     "Last night I had a dream of you two kissing. But it was too real to
be a dream, and the only person besides Shirley who can do that is Shorty."
     "So, you go blaming him 'cause of a dream." Babs remarked.
     "Why would I want to date with Babs?" Shorty asked.
     "Hey!!"Babs shouted.
     "No offense, but I don't intend to have a girl."
     "Ehh? Why not?" Buster asked.
     "You see there's a difference between you and me, I'm a free man and
you're not. I can do anything I want, but you sometimes have to do it
with Babs. With the length of time you two have been together, you're stuck
with her. Why would I break my freedom by getting a girl? Worse yet,
taking some else girl. No way! I'm not going to have a girl. I don't
even intend to have one. Buster, what you had was a dream, that's it.
I'm free and intend to stay that way."
     He walked off leaving the two bunnies stunned. They turned to each
other to see the same expression. Buster broke the silence by saying,
"I guess I was wrong about him."
     "Uh huh." This was all Babs could say as they watched him walk down
the hall.
     "Let's get to class." said Buster.
     "Okay."
     They walked off to their class, then Babs turned to watch Shorty.
There was something that bothered her, and had to get it off her chest.
     "I'll meet ya in class. I just forgot something," Babs lied.
     "All right," Buster said and went in the class.
     Babs ran down the hall, she had to catch Shorty.
     "Shorty! Shorty!" she called out.
     He turned to see the pink bunny run up to him. She stopped in front
of him panting. He waited for her to catch her breath.
     "Shorty," she said after she stopped panting, "did you really mean
what you just said back there?"
     "Yes." he said.
     "Don't you even get the urge or craving for it?" she asked.
     "Yeah, it's hard to stand it, but I manage... barely." he replied.
     She felt sory for him and said, "Well, I know someone..."
     "Hey, Babs." shouted Buster.
     She turned and said, "Just a minute. As I was saying..."
     As turned and said this, Shorty was no longer there. She smiled and said,
"You'll find love soon, Shorty. Or it will find you first."
     With that she ran to class mumbling, "I better lose a lot weight from
all this running.
