25 - So many times you always wanted more.

[walks into the kitchen to find Rose baking up a storm, as usual. His hands are behind his back, & he's smiling like a fool]

Hey Rose, I've got a surprise for you.

[waits for her to turn around, before pulling his hands forward to reveal a pygmy rabbit with a pink bow tied around its neck sitting in his right hand]

Do you like it?

[Give her a minute while her mouth drops open]

I--you...a bunny?

[Grins and hugs him from the side so the bunny doesn't get squished]

[zombie_pen]

[smiles widely, hugging her with his free arm, cradling the bunny close]

I'm guessing you like her, then?

[chipsandtea]

I love her. Thank you.

[zombie_pen]

[kisses her forehead, grinning still]

What are you going to name her?

[chipsandtea]

Oooh, I dunno. [Bites lip thoughtfully] Alpha Centauri? Orbit? Aurora? Sarah Jane?

[zombie_pen]

Aurora or Sarah Jane seem slightly more reasonable.

But she's your bunny. Name her whatever you want. [smiles]

[chipsandtea]

I think I'll go with Sarah Jane. Always did like her. And it'll probably get less weird looks than Alpha Centauri.

[zombie_pen]

[chuckles] Sounds good to me.

[chipsandtea]

So. [Nudges] Why the random bunny?

[zombie_pen]

I was in the pet shop buying some new toys for Fay, & I saw this little one & thought of you.

[chipsandtea]

That's sweet. [Kisses him on the cheek]

Did you get a cage or anything?

[zombie_pen]

[nods]

The whole kit & caboodle. It's all out in the living room.

[chipsandtea]

I would tackle you right now if you weren't carrying a bunny.

But really. A bunny. That's amazing Did I say thanks yet? Thanks.

[zombie_pen]

[gives her a quick kiss, gently putting the bunny in her hands]

You're welcome, sweetheart.

[chipsandtea]

[Gives the bunny a cuddle, before tiptoeing and giving him another kiss]

You're brilliant, you know.

[zombie_pen]

[grins, a happy flush dusting his cheeks]

Really?
