Fic: Rabbits - and Cain - Can be Scary
Title: Rabbits - and Cain - Can be Scary
Author: Erin (erinm_4600)
Characters, Pairing: DG and three OCs (mention of Cain)
Rating: PG
Summary: Leo's got good reason to be scared of rabbits.
Warning: post-series *immediately after Stallone and Rabbits. While SaR was partially written while at Hooters, this part is further proof that owning a cell phone with Word can be dangerous. Especially when the work computer doesn't want to work. o.O
Disclaimer: The original characters belong to L. Frank Baum and their respective actors. The current characters belong to Sci-Fi, the movie folks and their respective actors. The OCs are mine.

Kory barely registered that DG had spoken. After a second, a synapse fired and he blinked. In one motion, he stood up and dropped his arms. As soon as DG pushed back from the table and rose, Leo and Aybol followed, which caused her to groan.
"Please... don't," she said, a bit more harshly than intended. Raising a hand, she continued, "Right now, we're all just people-" She raised an eyebrow at the three of them, suddenly wondering if maybe one of them wasn't... human, or whatever.
When all three nodded, DG sighed and, as she'd done with Mo, stuck out a hand. "Pleasure to meet ya." Kory’s eyes darted from her hand to her face before turning halfway to glance at his friends. "It's just a hand," DG said with a smile, raising her hand a bit higher. "Won't bite."
Cain was going to kill her.
Kory blinked again and automatically reached out, knowing that he would most likely be sent home the next morning. ‘Wait,’ he heard, somewhere in the back of his mind. ‘She introduced herself. She stuck her hand out. She-’ ‘She’ was... whatever it was, with the head of the Royal Guard. She was a Princess of the O.Z. She was in the cafeteria in her nightclothes.
She was going to get him killed.
DG gave Kory a firm handshake and let go, next offering the same hand to Leo. He also stood, dumb-struck, and gave her a weak smile. Aybol, of course, had overcome his surprise almost immediately and leaned over the table, hand extended. "Pleasure's ours, ma'am." DG's face scrunched and her free hand went up defensively.
"Please," she begged and pointed to herself. "DG." He nodded and offered her the closest chair with a wave. DG smiled and turned back to grab her near-pie. Waving each of them to sit, DG set the plate down and pulled the chair out. Sitting, she next pulled her feet up and wrapped her arms around her legs.
"So. What are three fine soldiers, such as yourselves, doing up at this hour?" she asked as they sat. When no one responded, DG looked up and frowned. Dropping both her arms and legs, DG returned to sitting normally with a sigh. "Come on!" she whined, reaching for the fork.
"Please don't make me order you to talk to me. I'm goin' crazy, cooped up in this place." She waved to them and finally dug into the pie. "Pretend I'm not here. Normal, everyday O.Z. discussion. Seriously," she added, trying to convince them to go about their conversation.
Kory shot a look to Aybol, who shrugged and leaned forward. "Well, we were just discussing the fact that Leo, here, is afraid of rabbits." Kory shot sideways, trying to hold back his laughter - and he failed miserably - as Leo's face turned beet red.
If looks could kill, DG noted that the man on her right would've been dead before the man across from her even made eye contact. Pulling the fork from her mouth, DG swallowed the bit of near-pie and made a half fish-face. Then it came to her. With a sly grin directed to Leo, DG replied: "Tell me about it. Did it have big, pointy teeth?" Kory and Aybol looked at each other, then DG.
“I mean, everybody on the other side knows-” Noticing the looks on all three faces, she leaned forward and dropped the fork. "What?" she asked, wishing her high school drama teacher could see her now - 'No talent, my ass!' - as she leaned forward, disbelief written across her face.
"You've never heard of the Rabbit of Caerbannog?" The boys shared another look and DG made a ‘well-if-you-don’t-know-then-you-guys-are-in-trouble’ face and stuck the fork into the pie again.
