There lives a rabbit somewhere in a small cabin with a girl who mostly works all the time. He is quite old and has lived an interesting life. He was born approximately 23 years ago, which is a long time for a rabbit to be alive for. As a young bunny, he mostly existed for the sole purpose of comforting the girl, and since she was only slightly older than him and did not work all the time, they spent lots of time together and he had lots of other animals to keep them company as well. Everyone was happy.
Then one day, unexpectedly and unwillingly, they were moved away from their home and all their other companions to a house that was completely unfamiliar and unwelcoming. Neither of them completely understood just what was going on, and since they were both so young no one really explained the situation to them. They both became lonely and scared for many reasons. However, they slowly learned to become invisible, or at least they would like to think so. It was a special kind of magical power, or at least they would like to think so. Sometimes they would wish they could be invisible all the time so that nothing bad happened to them, but unfortunately their magical powers did not work that well. As they grew older, they finally made one friend, who they also taught their power to. They used it quite often, sometimes out of necessity and sometimes for fun.
One day, the girl and her friend decided that the rabbit should get married and start a family because they noticed that he was beginning to get lonely .A beautiful young female rabbit appeared out of nowhere, and she was not invisible. They fell in love instantly, had a beautiful wedding and later on two beautiful children, a boy and a girl. At one point, they would eventually all separate, but that came many and many years later. For now, they were all happy and settled. They stayed together and thought that they would forever.
Once again, completely unexpectedly and unwillingly, the girl, her friend and the rabbit family all moved away to a place that was unfamiliar and unwelcoming. The language in this place was foreign and the people very strange. They did not fit in to their new environment very well and although now older, still confused about just exactly what was going in. But they were falsely reassured that everything was okay and not out of the ordinary.
When they became older and much wiser, they realized exactly what happened, at least part of it. Keep in mind that this realization did not make them accept it, and in fact it made them very angry. The girl and her friend did not know where the rabbit family was because they were now stored in boxes and hidden away. The girl and her friend missed them very much but had a lot of other things to worry about that did not allow them to rescue them. They also did not want to expose the (hopefully) happy family into their environment because they did not feel that it was safe. The girl especially missed what she still thought of as "her rabbit" because they were raised together. For now, he would have to remain tucked away and safe until a better time.
The girl and her friend eventually also parted ways in order to rebuild their lives. She went off to college and moved away. Her friend did the same, but somewhere far away and they would see each other only a few times a year. Once their college years were starting to come to an end, and the girl's friend decided that college for not for her but had nowhere else to go, they moved into a small apartment together. They had a neighbor who turned out to be crazy and once again they began to feel uncomfortable in their environment. This time, they just ignored it. The rabbit family was still separated, but the girl had her own rabbit back. His wife and their children were still stored away in a box but they would soon all become happily reunited.
The girl was glad to have her rabbit back and would look to him for comfort when she got sad. Once she got so sad that she would look at him all the time. She noticed that his clothes had been torn and worn out and made him some new ones. This made him look brand new and inspired her to become brand new as well.
To be continued......
