Dinner Time!!

"So nasty that it's probably somewhat of a travesty having me

Daily told the people-" 

    The sound of rap music was drowned away from the heavy slam that pressed onto the snooze button. It was 12 pm, and the elderly bun squinted at the afternoon sun glaring down at her from her bedroom sun roof. She grumbled curses at the Sun for rising so early and interrupting her beauty sleep, raising out of the bed herself. A pair of boy-shorts and a tank-top were Juniper's pajamas today, and her silver hair was cascading down her face wildly. Juniper's legs finally work as they bring her to the Kitchen. She searched for her 'World's Most Kick-ass Mom' mug, and once obtained her puffy, white tail wagged as she made her Coffee.

    "Well," Juniper mused with a groan. "Better get started. They'll be here tomorrow." Juniper’s children were all adults by now. As she sits on that monumental milestone of 72 years of age, her children had all gone on to be their own people. Joseph, her first and only son, was one cool bun. He’s been with her the longest, so she and her have had a great bond going. Harriet, her middle daughter, was second in line. That bright, warm feeling she always brought along always made Juniper smile. Being the only parent of her kids, Juniper knew that little fireball Divine was coming as well. He had her mother’s smile, but Juniper had to wonder where he got his mischief streak from. Last but not least was Cleo, the youngest and the coolest one. Cleo kept it logical, stating the facts and telling it like it is. That’s why it was always sweeter whenever she said she loved her dear mom. Thinking about their arrival made the old rabbit smile – it always brightened her day when the family came to visit.

    Seeing her house, however, brought that mood right back down. This was her summer home, in beautiful, Scenic Charlottesburg. It was a few miles away from the beach, but from it’s elevated position on the Hills, she had a great view of the boardwalk and beach from where she stood. The problem was inside however; Living on her own made Juniper throw caution to the wind and just live like a wild child. Old Dishes were left in the sink, swimming in day old water, Pizza boxes littered the floor, old takeaway bags from UltraEats resting atop of them. Male Models and Porn Mags stren about… If it was just one of these things, Juniper would have just laughed and walked away, but seeing them together made her wince in embarrassment.

    “God,” Juniper sighed. “I can already feel Harriet losing her shit…” Juniper chuckled to herself, and went to find her broom, before she heard the phone ring. ‘Well, speak of the Devil!’ thought Juniper as she grabs the phone off the receiver to eagerly answers her daughter’s call.

“Well, if it isn’t my little Momma! Just checkin’ in on little ol’ me?” On the other line, Harriet giggled, and the sounds of her dear grandson playing with his Uncle Joe could be heard in the background.

“Yep!” exclaimed Harriet, who Juniper assumed was behind the Wheel. “It’s been a while since we’ve been to this place! Divine’s been dying to go to the beach again.”

    In the background, Divine piped up, screaming in delight over the thought of the wild waves Charlottesburg had to offer. Juniper’s heart warmed to the thought of her whole family coming together again. Time away was fine, but the old bunny WAS getting along in her years. Maybe someday she’d have to start jumping over to their places for a change! “So, We’ll be there by three o’ clock! Hope you’ll be decent by then!”

    Juniper chuckled at Harriet’s little joke. As her mouth opened to retort, her large ear twitched. Did Harriet just say they’d be here by three? “Wait. Like...Like you’ll be here today?” “Yeah, we decided to beat some traffic and start driving late at night. It was smooth driving after that! That’s no problem, right?”

    The warmth of Charlottesburg’s wet heat soon felt like a cold breeze upon Juniper’s body. The grandmother rabbit was prepared to tackle the great obstacle that was her mess of a home and have enough time to cook something afterwards. Now, at 12:45 pm, fate reared its head and showed the true trial upon Juniper’s doorstep. She felt like screaming, but no sound could hope to match the despair welling up from within. “Nope! No problem at all!” “Great! See ya then, Mom!” The phone disconnected. Juniper felt her age as she meekly put the phone back on the receiver. With less than three hours to go, she would have to clean the place up, AND get something ready for her hungry kids. The weight of this daunting task felt crushing, but just as tears began to form at her eyes, Juniper did what she did best when faced with overwhelming odds. She grabbed a scrunchie, tied her long, messy hair back, and shouted to the heavens. “I got through worse when I raised my kids! Some dirty-ass house and a time limit ain’t taking me out!!”

    Juniper’s resolve returned to her. Stripping out of her T-shirt and panties, Juniper pulls up with new underwear – a nice, lace black pair of panties – and opened her closet. Her face beamed as she saw her favorite summer outfit: The yellow tube top and jeans combo! Grabbing the garments, she tossed them in the air! The old bunny showed off to no one in particular as she hopped in the air, and slipped into her sleeveless top. It wasn’t a perfect fit, but damn if it wasn’t fun to do! As she lands, the puffy, white tail of hers wagged about as she grabbed her Lucky, Ripped-leg jeans, slipping them on one leg at a time. With a glance, she found her weapon of choice: Her skateboard! Grabbing it from under a body pillow of famous Luchador Hurricane Huerte, she opens the front door and sets off into the city. “A’ight!” exclaimed Juniper as she rolled into the city. “Time to get some food!”
