~Far In The Desert~

The Caterbus Drove Out Through The Open Desert, With The Remaining Trolls Inside, Looking Out For Their Lost Friends.

Guy Diamond Layed Out On His Chair, Snoring.
"💤💤💤💤..."

Tiny Covered His Ears.
"Uggghh! Daddy! I Can't Take Yo Crusty Febreeze Snoring Anymore!"

Guy Snored Louder.
"💤....fun fun fun...💤"

"Ayo Bigs, How Do I Wake Him Up!"
Tiny Asked.

Biggie Thought.
"Hmm...Well, To Wake Mr. Dinkles Up, I Something Let Him Sniff My Pants"

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Hated The Crap Smell Of Biggie's Pants.

Tiny Looked At Himself.
"Dangit, I'm Always Naked So Nah"

"WELP, Guess I'll Do It The Tiny Way"
Tiny Reached In His Hair And Took Out Two Airhorns.

"......WAKE UP DADDY!!! 📢 📢"
Tiny Played His Airhorns Loudly.

Guy Woke Up In A Fart Of Glitter.
"I'M UP! I'M UP! I'M UPPPPPP!"

Tiny Hopped In His Father's Hands.
"Finally Daddy! Took You Long Enough"

"W-Why Did You Wake Me?! Did We Enter The Dark Mist Of....Boredom"
Guy Said Dramatically.

"....Nah. You Were Snoring Waaay Too Loud And Have My Ears Pimples"
Tiny Pointed.

Guy Sighed.
"Yep...You're My Son Alright .__."

Delta Turned Her Head.
"C'mon Y'all! Keep Your Heads High And Look Out For Any Sign Of Poppy, Branch, Barb Or Mixy"

"May I Ask, How Are We Supposed To Find Them In The Desert?"
Trollzart Asked.

Delta Shrugs.
"I Don't Know, Maybe They Wandered Out Here"

Prince D Scoffs.
"Pff- Them Surviving Out In The Desert? Alone? With Barb? I Think Not"

"Yeahhh Barb's A Bit.....Vicious"
Zeny Said.

Delta Chuckles.
"Guys, I Lived In A Desert Town My Whole Life. Pretty Sure Barb Wouldn't Attack Them Out In The Desert"

Delta Rethought About That.
"....Or.....Could She...?"

Everyone Looked At Each Other And Shivered.
"eEuGh.."

"Just, Keep Your Eyes Out!"
Delta Told Them.

The Trolls Continued Looking Out Their Windows.

Hickory Was Busy Looking At Delta From His Seat, Thinking Of Speaking To Her.

"Mmmm 👉👈..."
Hickory Fiddled With His Fingers.

Trollex Came Up Behind Him.
"Gonnaaaa Talk To Herrrr? 👀"

Riff Came Up Too.
"Yeah, Areeee Youuuu? 👀"

"Huh?"
Hickory Looked Behind Him.

Trollex Came Up Again.
"Gonnaaaa Sauce It Up? 👀👀"

Riff Came Up Again Also.
"Yeahhh, Gonna McBang Her? 👀👀"

"Would Y'all Fella's Stop Pressuring Me!"
Hickory Said.

"Ahem, That's What Wingmen Are For. We Pressure You To Make The Right Move 😁"
Trollex Grins.

"Not Sure That's A Great Message For Future Wingmen"
Hickory Said.

Riff Nods.
"Exactly The Point! We're Different From Normal Wingmen! We're Stupid Wingmen!"

"Boom! 🤜🤛"
Trollex And Riff Fist Bump.

"You're Not Helping -.-"
Hickory Glared.

Trollex Nodded.
"You're Right"

"We're Not.."
Riff Looked Down.

"Good"
Hickory Grinned And Turned Back Around.

Trollex Smirks.
"Which Meannnsss, You Gotta Help Yourself 😁"

"HUH-"
Hickory Said.

"WOOOOOO!!!"
Trollex And Riff Pushed Hickory Out His Seat.

"AH- OOF!"
Hickory Bumped Into Delta's Driver Seat.

"Hey! Hickory?"
Delta Raised Her Eyebrow.

Hickory Stood Straight.
"Heh Heh, I Uh-"

"Youuuu Alright?"
Delta Asked.

"Oh Um, Yeahh. Yeah! I Was Just Uh...Wanted To Show You Uhhh..."
Hickory Tried To Think Of Something.

"The Beautiful View Of This Here Desert!"
Hickory Gestures.

Delta Smiled.
"You Sure Darn Right About That. The View Was Always Great When I Lived Here"

Hickory Smiled Back At Her.
"I'm Sure It Was"

Delta Giggled.
"But The Most Beautiful Sight Of The Desert Was The Town Of Lonesome.....Burrows?!"

Hickory Chuckled.
"Well I Didn't Know You Were Into Bunnies. Guess I Can Be A Furry Too~"

Trollzart Flew To Hickory And Turned Hickory's Head Up Ahead.

Hickory Blinked.
".....oH"

The Caterbus Stopped For A Second At The Lonesome Burrows Sign.

"Welcome To Lonesome Burrows"
Biggie Read.

"Population....Bunnies?"
Zeny Read.

"Ohhhh Heck To The Nah Nah Honey! Bunnies Done Took Over My Town?!?!"
Delta Said.

"Maybe Judy Hopps Lives There!"
Riff Said.

"I Heard She's Thiccccc!"
Guy Said In Autotune.

"AWE YEAH, SOME BOOTY GETTIN CLAPPED TONIGHT!"
Tiny Shouted.

"Do You Think Poppy And The Others Came Here?"
Trollzart Asked.

Delta Shrugged.
"Guess We'll Find Out"

The Caterbus Drove Along The Road Leading Into The Lonesome Burrows Town.

~~~

~At The Lonesome Burrows Jail~

Poppy, Branch, Mixy And Barb Sat Around In The Jailhouse, Thinking Of A Plan To Escape.

Branch Stood In The Center.
"Okay, So First What I'm Thinking. While Fluffy-Butt Out There Is Distracted, I Use My Shovel To Dig Our Way Out. Then We Dig Dig Dig All The Way Out To The Saloon, Grab A Car, Drive Off Then BAM! Escaped! Who's With Me?!"

"Wow. That Actually Sounds Full Proof. Great Job Bro"
Barb Patted Branch's Back.

"You're So Smart Branchie!"
Poppy Kissed Branch's Cheek.

Branch Chuckles And Stood Like Thor.
"Well Ya Know, Safety Nerds Have Their Hot Sides~"

"So Where Do We Get This Shovel Thing?"
Mixy Asked.

Branch Reached In His Hair.
"Simple. I Have It Stored In-"

Branch Felt All In His Hair And There Was Nothing In His Hair.

Branch Took Out A Pair Of Day Old Undies Out Of His Hair.
".....Oh. Heh Heh"

"Ughhhh..."
Poppy, Mixy And Barb Groan.

"Yeah, I Take Back My Compliment"
Barb Said.

"Well I'm Sorry! It's Hard To Be Ahead Prepared When Your First Aid Bag Is On The Bus Far Away -.-"
Branch Glared Over At Poppy.

Poppy Sighed At That, And Went To Sit On The Jail's Bed.

Mixy Turned His Head At Poppy And Went Over To The Jail Bed.

Mixy Flew Up And Sat On The Bed, Looking Up At Poppy, Knowing That She's Sad.

Mixy Patted His Hoof On Poppy's Hand.
"Everything....Is Gonna Be Okay...Poppy"

Poppy Looked Down At Mixy And Smiled A Bit.
"Thanks"

"Okay I Can't Take Anymore Of This- YO! OFFICER FURRY PUBES!"
Barb Grabbed The Cell Bars.

Sergeant Fluffy Went Back To The Jailhouse.
"Comfy In There Delinquents?"

"I Don't Get Why I'm In Here Too. Those Two Were The Ones Illegal For Their Music! NOT ME!"
Barb Said.

"True, But You're A Accessory To Their Crime Just Now"
Sergeant Fluffy Said.

"But Like, I'm A Queen. You Can't Put A Queen In Jail. That's Not How It Works"
Barb Said.

"Well Guess What, You Can Be Queen Of The Jailhouse Now"
Sergeant Fluffy Smirked.

Barb Glared.
"-.- Boy If I Had A Carrot Right Now, I'd Shove It Up Your-"

"C'mon Officer Fluff. Let Us Go. That While Crime Against Music Thing Was A Year Ago! You Can't Hold That Against Us Now"
Branch Said.

"Actually I Can. I'm The Law Around These Parts. Actually, I AM The Law. Periodt"
Sergeant Fluffy Sassed.

"You Go Boy"
Barb Said.

"Hmph"
Branch Crossed His Arms.

"Ya Know I Really Should Thank You And That Pink One Over There. Cause Of You Two, I'm Finally The Head Chief Officer I Always Wanted To Be"
Sergant Fluffy's Eyes Sparkled.

Branch Rolled His Eyes, Then Noticed Something Out The Bars Of The Jail Door.

Branch Looked Closely, And Saw The Caterbus Coming Up To The Town.

Branch's Eyes Widen And Nudged Barb.
"Psst"

Barb Looked Out The Door And Gasped, Noticing The Caterbus Too.

Barb Thought Of Something.
"S-So Um, Sir Flufferball, What Was It Like For You To Get To This Position You're At Now? Tell Me The Full Story With Details!"

"Well, Since You All Can't Go Anywhere, I Mind As Well Tell You....THROUGH A SONG!"
Sergeant Fluffy Held Out A Harmonica.

"Oh God-"
Barb Said.

Sergeant Fluffy Played The Harmonica For A Second Then Broke Into A Song About His Backstory.

🎵 Just a young fluff-🎵

🎵 With a quick fuse🎵

🎵 I was uptight,

Sergeant Fluffy Gestures To His Officer Suit.

🎵 And wanna leave

⛈ T H U N D E R ⛈

While Sergeant Fluffy Was Distracted In Song, Branch Tip Toed Over To Poppy.

"Poppy! The Others Are Here!"
Branch Said.

"What?! They Are?!"
Poppy Stood Up.

"Yeah! The Caterbus Is Right Outside!"
Branch Pointed.

Poppy Gasped And Cheered.
"YESSSSS! ROADTRIP BACK ON!"

"AND I GET TO TELL THEM I'M A SPECIAL HIPPIE! 😄"
Mixy Said.

Poppy Titled Her Head, Looking Out The Door.
"Soooo Where Are They?"

Branch Peeked Out.
"If My Time Calculations Are Correct, They Should Arrive Right About..."

Sergeant Fluffy Kept On Singing.
🎵 Thunder!🎵

🎵 Feel the thunder!🎵

🎵 Lightning then the- ARGH!🎵

The Caterbus Arrived And Hit Sergeant Fluffy Away.

"YES!"
Poppy, Branch And Barb Say.

Trollex Poked His Head Out The Window.
"Did We Just Hit Judy Hopps?"

Delta And Hickory Got Out Of The Bus And To The Jailhouse.

"Poppy? Branch?"
Hickory Said.

"GUYS!"
Poppy Smiled Wide.

"What In H E Double Hockey Sticks Is Going On Here?"
Delta Questioned.

"Well-"
Poppy Said.

"Why Are You In Jail? Did You Sing Another Pop Medley?"
Hickory Questioned.

"Well-"
Branch Said.

"And Why Is Lonesome Flats Turned Into A Furry Joint?!?!"
Delta Questioned.

"NO TIME FOR QUESTIONS! GET US OUTTA HERE!"
Barb Said.

"I Got This"
Hickory Reached In His Pocket For A Rope.

Delta Stopped Hickory.
"No No. I Got This. Stand Back From The Door Ya'll!"

Poppy, Branch, Barb And Mixy Backed Up From The Door Inside.

"HIIIIII-YAH!"
Delta Kicked The Door Down With Her Hooves.

"WHOA!"
The Trolls Say.

"Yeah Whoa 😳"
Hickory Got A Boner.

"FREEDOMMM!"
Barb Ran Out.

"MISS YEE-HAW LADY, I'M A SPECIAL HIPPIE!"
Mixy Told Delta.

Delta Blinks.
"That's Niceeee? Poppy, Mind Explaining?"

"LONGGG STORY BUT UH-"
Poppy Said.

"And Who Is That?"
Delta Pointed At Sergant Fluffy.

Sergeant Fluffy Groaned In Pain On The Ground.
"Oooughh.."

"LONG STORY SHORT, THAT IS A BUNNY COP WHO WANTS TO ARREST ME AND BRANCH SO WE GOTTA GO! NOW!"
Poppy Explained Quickly.

"WHAT?!"
Delta And Hickory Say.

Sergeant Fluffy Stood Up.
"Ow Ow Ow Ow.."

"Ohhhhh..."
Delta And Hickory Say.

Delta And Hickory Immediately Dashed Into The Caterbus.

"STEPPIN ON IT!"
Delta Pressed On The Gas And The Caterbus Started Driving Off.

"NO WAIT FOR US!"
Branch Said.

"HECK NO I AIN'T GOIN BACK!"
Barb Ran After The Caterbus.

Barb Jumped And Grabbed Onto The Fur Of The Back Of The Caterbus.

"CMON CMON!"
Barb Said.

"GOTCHA MIXY"
Branch Grabbed Mixy's Leg.

"OOP-"
Mixy Yelped.

Branch Ran Behind The Bus, Holding Mixy's Leg, Trying To Grab Barb's Hand.

"DUDE JUST GIVE ME YOUR HAND"
Barb Said.

"I'M TRYINGGGG!"
Branch Kept Failing.

"OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD-"
Barb Reached Down And Grabbed Branch's Shorts.

"WHOA-"
Branch Yelped.

"GOOD- NOW WHERE'S..."
Barb Noticed Poppy Wasn't There.

Poppy Was Still Left Behind At The Jailhouse.
"UHHH-"

"POP-SQUEAK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?"
Barb Said.

"I DIDN'T WANNA RUN! I'D GET SAND ON MY DRESS!"
Poppy Said.

"POPPY LOOK"
Branch Gestures.

Sergeant Fluffy Turned Around And Saw Poppy.
"WH- HEY!!!"

Poppy Gasped.
"AH!"

Poppy Grabbed The Jail Door And Ran To The Caterbus.
"WAIT UPPPP!!!"

Mayor Cottontail Went To Sergeant Fluffy.
"Well Fluffy. Since Your 100th Crime Is Escaping, Imma Have To Take Back That Position"

Mayor Cottontail Took Off Sergeant Fluffy's Head Chief Badge.

"BUT-"
Sergant Fluffy Said.

"Until You Get That Blue And Pink One Back. Then You May Have Your Position"
Mayor Cottontail Told Him.

"UGHHH! GET BACK HERE!!!"
Sergeant Fluffy Ran After The Caterbus On All Fours.

Poppy Kept Running After The Caterbus.
"I WON'T REACH!"

"GRAB ONTO MIXY'S LEASH!"
Branch Said.

Poppy Jumped Up, Flipped The Jail Door Under Her, And Grabbed Onto Mixy's Leash.

"ARGH-"
Mixy Choked A Bit.

Poppy Rode On The Jail Door Like A Surfboard, Hanging Onto Mixy's Leash.

"WHOOHOO! WE DID IT!"
Poppy Cheered.

"UHHH, MIGHT WANNA RETHINK THAT"
Barb Looked Up.

Poppy Turned Her Head, And Sergeant Fluffy Was Chasing Them Right On Their Tail.

"AH! OH NO"
Poppy Said.

"YOU TWO FUGITIVES, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!"
Sergeant Fluffy Shouted.

The Caterbus Drove All Around, Throughout The Desert To Find A Route Out To Escape, With The 4 Trolls Hanging On.

Delta Looked At Her Bus Window Ans Saw What Was Going On.

"Oh No- Y'ALL, THROW STUFF OUT THE WINDOW TO STOP THAT RABBIT"
Delta Instructed.

Trollex Looked Out The Window.
"Yep....Not Judy Hopps.."

Trollzart Gasped.
"Oh My! He's Gaining On Us!"

"What Do We Do?!"
Biggie Said.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Suggested Sacrificing Biggie.

Tiny Looked Up At His Father.
"You Know What Time It Is Daddy!"

Guy Nods.
"DO IT SON!"

Tiny Poked His Butt Out The Window.
"IT'S ABOUT TO GET SPARKLY UP IN HEREEEEE!!!"

Tiny Glitter Farted Out Dozens Of Poofs Out The Window, Towards Sergeant Fluffy.

Sergeant Fluffy Got Hit With A Glitter Fart.
"EWWW THAT'S DISGUSTINGLY BEAUTIFUL!"

"HA! I KNOW RIGHT"
Tiny Stood Proud.

"IF YOU TWO FUGITIVES DON'T STOP RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL FACE MAXIMUM BUNNY COURT TRIAL!"
Sergeant Fluffy Said.

"THAT SOUNDS HORRIBLY ADORABLE"
Poppy Said.

"ARGHHHHH- T-TOO MUCH..."
Mixy Was Still Being Choked.

Barb Held Onto Branch's Pants Too Long, And Slowly Slipped Off, Showing Branch's Heart Underwear.

"EW-"
Barb Said.

"AH! HEY!"
Branch Pulled Up His Pants With His Free Hand.

"UHHH DELTA"
Riff Tapped Delta's Shoulder And Pointed.

Delta Looked Up Ahead And Saw A Gap Fall From The Other Side Of The Desert.

"OH NO...POPPY!"
Delta Shouted.

Poppy Tilted Her Head A Bit And Saw The Fall Coming Up.

"OH NO NO NO!"
Poppy Panicked.

"STOP AT THE NAME OF THE LAW!"
Sergeant Fluffy Demanded.

Poppy Looked Back At Sergeant Fluffy, Then Looked Back Up Ahead.

Poppy Started Gathering Up A Crazy Idea.
"DELTA! DO NOT STOP DRIVING! PRESS ON THE GAS AS HARD AS YOU CAN!"

"YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?!"
Delta Said.

"TRUST ME! DO IT!"
Poppy Replied.

"A-ALRIGHT"
Delta Replied Nervously And Pressed The Gas Harder.

The Caterbus Drove At Top Speed, Towards The Cliff.

"SORRY GUYS"
Poppy Said.

"POPPYYYY"
Branch Got Suspicious.

"UHH, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN"
Barb Said.

Poppy Turned Her Head.
"CMON FURBALL! POUNCE AND GET US"

"DON'T GOTTA TELL ME TWICE YOU OUTLAW!"
Sergant Fluffy Pounced At Poppy.

Poppy Ducked Her Head And Pulled On Mixy's Leash, Making The 4 Trolls Fall Off The Bus, Losing Their Grip.

"AHHHH!!! OOF!"
The 4 Trolls Fell Back On The Sand.

As The 4 Fell Off, Sergeant Fluffy Leaped And Grabbed On The Back Of The Caterbus.

"H-HUH?"
Sergeant Fluffy Looked Back.

Poppy Shrugged And Poined Up Ahead.

Sergeant Fluffy Looked Up Ahead The Caterbus.
"Awe Son Of A-"

The Caterbus Drove Off The Cliff, Up In Mid Air Towards The Other Side.

"AHHHHHH!!!!"
The Trolls And Sergeant Fluffy Scream.

Poppy Quickly Reached In Branch's Hair And Took Out His Day Old Undies, Flicking It Across.

The Undies Hit Sergeant Fluffy In The Face, Making Him Fall Off The Caterbus.

"GAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
Sergeant Fluffy Screamed And Splashed Into The River Down Below The Cliff.

The Caterbus Actually Landed And Made It To The Other Side.

The Caterbus Swerved And Made A Complete Stop.

".....STILL ALIVE!"
The Trolls Shout.

"WHOOOOHOOO! Now That's What I Call A Sweet Country Cha- Huh?"
Delta Poked Her Head Out And Noticed The 4 Trolls Wasn't On The End Of The Caterbus Anymore.

Delta Looked Up Ahead.
"POPPY?!"

Poppy Stood Up.
"HEH HEH.."

"WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOIN ON THAT SIDE?!?!"
Delta Shouted.

Poppy Sighed.
"I-IT'S OKAY....JUST KEEP GOING! WE'LL CATCH UP!"

"YOU SURE???"
Delta Said.

"GO ON"
Poppy Signal.

Delta Sighed Deeply.
"So Much For Bein' Cartoon Creatures"

The Caterbus Drove Off Into The Desert And Out Into The Distance.

The 4 Trolls On The Other Side, Stood Up And Looked Down The Cliff.

"-.-"
Branch, Barb, And Mixy Glared At Poppy.

Poppy Blinked.
"....What?"

"We Are....Right Back....FROM WHERE WE STARTED!!!"
Barb Yelled.

"OKAY SUREEE BUT AT LEAST WE'RE ALIVE AND GOT RID OF OFFICER FLUFFLEBERRY! Branchie, Back Me Up Here!"
Poppy Nudged.

Branch Shook His Head And Walked Away.
"No Comment- Just C'mon"

"Ughhh!"
Barb Groaned And Followed.

Mixy Followed Also.
"Tsk Tsk, The Special Hippie Is Also Upset. Hmph!"

"Hhhh...Guess We'll Make Camp Here Then"
Poppy Rubbed The Back Of Her Neck And Followed Along.

Down The Cliff, In The River, Sergeant Fluffy Rose Out Of The Water With A Firm Look.

Sergeant Fluffy Chuckled.
"Well Played Trolls..."

Sergeant Fluffy Took Out His Gun And Loaded It Up.
"......Game On"
