“So I learned something new today.” Said the boy as he laid in the dirt, looking at some passing by clouds. “Apparently, herbivores digest me faster,” Al sighed in relief. “Not sure if that's a good thing or bad.” He slapped his face and got on his feet. To his surprise, he was laying down in the dirt, outside. And this didn't look like someone's house or backyard. He was out in the wild. Then, as the thought crossed his mind, a voice came from behind him.
“One side rabbit! Unless you wanna get squashed!” Said a guy’s voice, like he was in his fifties. Al looked behind him and saw like five full grown elephants running towards him. Al only had enough to just barely avoid the stampede by jumping out of their way. He landed on the dirt, and looked back at the elephants, not even showing the slightest hint of slowing down or saying sorry.
“Wait. What am I saying? Elephants don't talk. But then, who yelled at me?” saying this out-loud didn't help him figure things out. But what really bothered him was what the voice said. Rabbit? Al looked around and saw none. It scared him, but he needed to see. He found a watering hole a few feet from where he landed. He looked at the reflection in the surprisingly clean water. He almost yelped out of shock. In his reflection was indeed a rabbit. But not an ordinary rabbit. In the reflection, was a dark gray rabbit with blood eyes. He even had the cute little nose and mouth, and ears. Oh god he had rabbit ears! He saw he wore black, and assumed he was in his usual clothing. Nope. He was wearing something similar to a ninja, except he had a hood that was down. No pants. No shorts. Not even underwear. Then again, for reasons he can't comprehend, he had no penis or balls. He had his butt still and—oh no. He reached back there, and there it was. A cotton ball tail that fit perfectly into his- hand, or rather paw. Something in between. His palm area looked like it was the only thing attached to his body, while the fingers looked ready to detach themselves at any time. What threw the look together was the red scarf he had on. It matched perfectly with his eyes. But there was one thing he didn't understand. On his face, covering up almost the entire left side, was a solid black star. It looked like a tattoo, but he didn't understand. He put his hands on his head and backed up slowly away from the water. Al was breathing heavy. Questions flew through his mind too fast to process. But one question was bouncing around so much that he ended up saying it out-loud. “Where did I get this body from.” Immediately saying that was the tipping point for him. He passed out, landing in the dirt hard.

Day turned to night. Lab turned to wilderness. Boy turned to rabbit. Usually this was the part where he got a useful memory of what’s happening. Instead, he was shown a shirtless man. The tan buff man was sitting in the darkness of this place. Al approached the man, who he saw was meditating.
“Hello?” Asked the confused rabbit. The man didn't turn around when he responded.
“So you've made your way back here, have you?” the man's deep voice matched his appearance. He looked like he had a one piece on, but took off the area that covered his chest area, and had it resting on his hip. What struck him as odd, was not only did his voice sound familiar, but he talked back. So far, only one thing has talked back to him. As he realized who this man was, Al took an instinctive step back, his breathing wavered. The man must have sensed it too, and rose to his feet. He slowly looked back, the first thing that exposed him, was the eye. It was the same one that had plagued the teacher traveler’s memory ever since this journey started. With no pupil in the eye but replaced with a red magic circle. And above his eye, in all capital letters, was the word. NO FUTURE. Seeing this made sweat go down the side of his furry face. The man smiled. “So good to see you, my little delicacy.” The man looked down with his mismatched eyes as his prey fell to the ground. Al looked at him. Though his left eye was unusual, his right eye was normal with a brown pupil and a black center. He had short, spikey, black hair and small bristles along his chin as well as the side of his face. The ears threw him off, for they were pointy. “Ah, I see. You’ve changed. Looks like the spell is doing the job.” The mystery man tried to touch the fear stricken rabbit, but Al slapped the man’s hand away. The man looked pleased. “Yes. That form suits you well.” He smiled down at him, almost like he had a new toy to play with. “After all. Rabbits aren't predators. They're only purpose in life is to play the part of a pet. Or to be hunted and eaten.” That last part, made the frightened rabbit yelp. For a second, he thought the monster that stood before him stole his voice. But that wasn’t case. His fear stopped him from uttering a word. The man grinned, showing his perfectly human teeth. Human teeth? In his memory, the teeth of the shadowy character were sharp, like that of a carnivore. “Well, I just explained what you probably needed to hear. So let's send you back.” He shooed the snack away. It suddenly felt like he was being dragged by the hood of his coat going thirty miles an hour. Pulled into the darkness.

Al slowly opened his red eyes, and was now looking at the stars. He pushed himself up to a sitting position. The young traveler placed his shaking right hand on his right eye, his left still closed. His mind was racing. Not from being a rabbit, but for meeting that thing. It almost looked human, but it wasn’t giving off that kind of atmosphere. The air around him was ice cold. The rabbit opened his left eye, while covering his right.
“Dammit.” Saying it out-loud helped. Even though he would lose a fight with the creature, his feelings were everywhere. Rage. Fear being the biggest one. He was face to face with the thing that ate him and sent him off on this journey. But some things we're still missing from his mind. Like how they originally met on that snowy night. Al shook his head, and crawled over to the watering hole he was at. He took a good drink from there. And it hit him. His stomach growled. He looked around and saw nothing that would be considered food. Even though he just had enough water to fill him up, he needed food. He laid in the mud next to the water source and shut his eyes. His body felt weak. His eyes were heavy. If He died outside a stomach, would he still wake up in another world? Or would he simply die? The answer wasn’t helping get fed. Or staying awake. As he passed out, a small spout off water shot up from the center of the water. And from it, poked out a thick fuzzy uni-brow and a pair of eyes to go with them. And they were set on the passed out creature.

Al didn't want to go back to sleep. He was afraid to see the man again. Not so soon after he had met him. Instead, what happened was nothing. The rabbit stood in darkness alone. No man. No creature. Not even a scene. Did this mean his quest was over, and he was dead? Huh. Death by hunger. How ironic. Out of nowhere, he tasted something. Carrots?

Al's eyes shot open and he sat up faster. In his mouth, was a piece of carrot. But the thing looked like it was broken down.
“Ah. You're awake. Good.” Said a deep and dare I say, sexy voice. The fur-ball looked over where he heard the voice, at the water. And there on it's surface was a hippo, lying on his back. The hippo vanished underneath, only to surface again completely wet and was swimming in his direction. He was pretty sure hippos didn't look like this normally. The creature was seven feet tall, and average built, if he was a human. He had short, stubby arms and legs to match. The hippo had a long snout, a good two feet long. It even had chest hair in the middle of his built pecs, with a belly button on his smooth gut. He laid at the ledge of the water right next to the dazed rabbit. “Glad I could find you some carrots nearby. I had to feed you a few, so I broke them down into smaller bits.” The hippo pointed at a leaf next to his visitor with more carrot chunks. The guy had some thick fingers. Al swallowed the piece he had in his mouth.
“Thanks. I'm Al. What's your name?” The rabbit said, looking right at the hippo. The hippo reached to grab his hand.
“Moto Moto. A name so nice, you say it twice.” Said the hippo. Shaking the reached out hand.
“It's nice to meet you. Thanks for saving me.” Al smiled as he thanked the hippo. The hunk felt like he was just struck with a little dash of love. He crawled out of the water and slowly pushed his rabbit friend flat on the ground. His snout touching the young rabbit face, water tinkling from his body.
“Al. It's strange. I normally only go for big, round girls. But for some reason, I want you.” The hippo had Al trapped under him. His arms blocked the sides, while his legs blocked the lower area. And before he could say something, he was being kissed. Moto’s hot breath was blowing Al up like a balloon, and his tongue was so thick and heavy inside the smaller mouth. It almost choked the poor fella. The hunk parted his lips and tongue from his new lover. Al on the other hand, was coughing out drool. Moto Moto licked his lips. “So good. I think I'll help myself.” He lowered his head down the little bunny’s body. And stopped just under his little rabbit feet. He opened his enormous mouth, letting out a huge wave of humidity from it, and slid himself on the mud to put up to the rabbit's knees inside his carnivorous gullet. Before he could get his thoughts together, the large hippo pulled more of Al into his body, this time going to his torso. The frighten snack put his hands on the snout of this hippo, but the rabbit’s wrist were grabbed by the hippo own hands, which he moved into his mouth. Now The rabbit had his hands trapped inside the throat, unable to pull out.
“Why are you doing this?” Fear filled his voice as the rabbit was pulled in deeper. He could feel his feet inside the stomach now. Moto Moto was still looking at him.
“I want to be with you forever. And we can do that, by having you inside me. To become fat on me.” The hippo tried not to close his mouth completely as he spoke, so it sounded more garbled. Before Al could argue, a large tongue slapped his face and pulled him into the hippos jaw.
“Moto! Please Moto! Don't—” The cries from the rabbit was cut short as the jaws slam shut. But the creature wasn’t done yet. Outside his lips were a pair of rabbit ears, which he easily slurped up like spaghetti. And sent the crying voice inside his mouth down into his belly with one last gulp. He couldn't see, but he felt the face taking inside his throat as it descended into his pressed gut. He sighed, smiling with the flavor of his loving rabbit still lingering in his mouth. He rose from the mud, and looked down at his gut. It had grown to good four feet wide. He could see the face of his lover coming out of his belly. Moto Moto placed his hand on the face and was smiling. “Mmm. You'll make a good addition to my waistline. Now let's go down under for a nice dip.” The hippo walked slowly into the water, the fighting in his belly filled him with pleasure. And filled him literally. “So nice, you said it twice.” The creature submerged under the surface of the water. A few bubbles breaking The surface. Then nothing.

The sun had set. It had only been maybe ten minutes since The incident on the side of the watering hole. The calm water surface broke, as the head of a familiar hunk rose. He kept rising out of the water, till he was on solid land. He moaned to himself, as he slapped the mysterious foot of fat on his gut.
“I don’t know how, but I've become even more delectable. Watch out ladies. Here comes the sexiest hippo in Africa.” Said Moto Moto, as he walked away from the watering pool. And hidden in some tall grass, was a old looking wooden sign.
'Beware hippo hole! Will eat you if not careful!’ the sign was old, anyone could tell cause it looked like it was close to falling apart.
