~Pip leaves his warren and discovers flowers~
Pip could swear that something was glowing just over the horizon. He’d already been amazed by the many glorious and beautiful things he had seen. This was his first time outside of the many chambers of his vast and deep warren. The fresh air was enough to make his head spin! But what is that glimmering, flashing color just out of sight!?
He heard the pounding sound of bunny feet coming up fast behind him and before he could think very much about it, he went bounding towards that beautiful, glittering skyline. If they catch me they’ll take me back, and I need to know what that is before I go.
He sprinted hard and fast, overjoyed at the feeling of every leap. He’d never been able to build this kind of speed in the endless tunnels of his home. Quickly the glow on the horizon grew into towering flowers and he was in awe. He had also never had to put a halt on this type of speed before and as he tried to stop to gaze in wonder, he instead went sliding and tumbling deep into the middle of Meadowsweet.
He laid on his back where he landed, too amazed by the world around him to move. He stared at the flowers above him which seemed to bow down around him, showing off their glamorous faces. He heard the bunny guard from his own warren stop somewhere near the edge of the meadow. The thick flowers must have covered where he had slid in because they seemed to think they had lost him. He listened to them bound away until he could hear them no more.
He jumped up and began gathering arm loads of flowers, as many as he could carry. He would make beds of them! He would make hats of them! He could put them on his paws and play pretend, they are fancy things talking to each other. And so he played his games and giggled to himself. Surely this day could get no better. This must be the best day ever!
