I am a big fan of comedy and there is an adult children's book written by a comedian named Dan Cummins that I think y'all would find funny. https://www.amazon.com/Daddy-Bear-Three-Rabbits-World-ebook/dp/B017AJ4QI0/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EiyA8fradQrOKeA9Hi_1mlB7QXxXCoYqfGaF0Xq7z6z7W0XhPxSvaD_vHViad4QNyaEvHNclWxtS_FiFAq02bc9xZePQLwr4bq3q1N_gIdWRdutpt7yFSCKpGpvvNy9cdE3qaLKm6614EvhsHLSXEc5z_IebRR-sa4vA_n7svmzcf07EHRjLAcdBxTMChZlF8-lFiKp2Ii1eyzsF0eaurJVGVvvY8FGW7WAWRQtDTXQ.eX_bugpLlePaN_MUuW_qkd7iHUuRlNncI2hUpCgtVWs&dib_tag=se&keywords=Three+Rabbits+Meet+the+Real+World&mfadid=adm&qid=1714713901&sr=8-1   If you don't want to buy the book, there is a clip from his comedy album on YouTube where he reads it to the audience:  

I'm sorry to hear about what going on in your personal life; sending prayers your way. This was a great chapter, I like how you were able to capture Avery's mental breakdown so well.  With Darlene needing someone to love and take care of since losing her baby and Avery needing a loving parental figure in his life, hopefully, they are able to start a loving relationship together since it seems like they were made for one another.

Hey everyone! Welcome to the final chapter, or in this case, the epilogue of this story. I was batting back and forth on whether I should make it a full chapter or not, but I really just liked the conclusion of the last chapter too much for it not to be the official end. So, with that in mind, this chapter basically ties a few ends up and points to a few other easter eggs and future stories if I ever really wanted to go down this story path again. Also, just a little note about this chapter and a bit in the same vein, something does happen in it that I’ve been thinking about doing for a while to connect to another story I’ve been planning for over a year now. I won’t say its title here, but when you all read about this particular segment, I’m guessing many of you will already know about it. Additionally, another event happens and if you know anything about two characters from another one of my stories, yes, those are the connections I was going for. It didn’t start out that way, but once I saw my accidental connections while I was planning this story, I just couldn’t help myself. Also, by now, I think it’s pretty clear that Wattpad is doing a purge like with what happened to Patreon last year and DeviantArt and Tumblr before that. It’s a bit frustrating, but I can’t do anything about it, so for now, I will be solely posting here, though I may branch out to other platforms as well in the future. If I do so, I will let anyone know here in case they want to see my work elsewhere as well. Next, I am announcing that I will soon start work on my next story, ‘Tell Me More II’ very soon. Adding the votes from my last story and the ones from this one, it was close, but the ‘Tell Me More’ sequel just won out. My hopes are to complete it before the start of my upcoming trip about halfway into this month, and I think I should have enough time to complete it by then as it will be like the previous story with only about seven chapters. As the story will be shorter than most of my other ones, I might wait to post the final chapter until the last possible moment before my trip in order to give everyone a chance to vote if they want. I’m going to be a little busy over the next few days, but at the latest, the first chapter should be up by next Monday. Now, with all that done, I hope everyone enjoys this next and final part of this story! Epilogue: Escapes and Additions The summer was slowly coming to a close and I was exhausted after a long day of playing in the pool with my friends. I felt a little raw where the advanced all-day sun block hadn’t been rubbed in all the way, and I blamed myself a little for running away too quickly from Lillian when she was applying it to my shoulders, but my fun with my friends was totally worth it even now. Days like today had delightedly become my normal routine since I had been adopted. I even held a party the day after the paperwork went through and while some of the older Littles thought I was crazy for accepting to live here forever basically, most of my good friends were happy for me in making the decision to stay. Jimmy and Lillian worked their best to treat me as mature as they could, but the dictates of my disabilities still required my life to stay very much as it was. Others might have been upset by that fact, but I had little concessions throughout my life and that made it okay for me to accept. So, for example, I was now sitting at a small desk that Jimmy had gotten for me in my nursery. It allowed me to freely doodle whenever I wanted without having to lay on the floor like I used to. It was small, but it made me feel a bit more like a grownup, despite the colored plastic exterior coating of most of the furniture. ‘At least it’s comfortable…’ I then heard a knock on my door. I quickly turned around and looked to see who it was. “Hey, sweetie,” Lillian cooed down to me as she walked in. “Just wanted to check on you really quick. I know you got a little red today, but I also just wanted to give you this.” I looked at the envelope she handed to me as she started to look over the minor burn on my shoulders. I blushed a little as you could still see a faint outline from where I had been wearing my water wings in the pool. It had been another small concession, but Jimmy and Lillian allowed me to be in the pool by myself if I agreed to where them, so again, I was okay with them. “Hmmm… not too bad, but I’ll check on it before you go to bed tonight.” She started to leave the room, but then quickly turned back to me. “Oh, honey, Jimmy and I are watching some TV downstairs if you wanted to join us. I know Adventure Sam or Princess Poppy will be on soon, but I know you’ve had a long day, so, it’s completely up to you.” “Dank you, Lillian. I wanna look at the ledder a’ leas’ firs’ dough.” Lillian only smiled, nodded, and walked out of my nursery. Once she was gone, I looked back at the letter. It was a little awkward getting the plain white envelope open by myself, but once I did, I saw there was only one piece of paper inside. Curious, especially considering there wasn’t a specific sender listed on the front of the letter, I looked over the paper carefully. Oddly enough, it only said to ‘Color Me Red.’ Not really sure what to make of that and almost thinking it was just junk mail for Littles, I stared down at Patch to decide what to do. My magical stuffy had still never left my side, and while his powers had seemed to fade from our time together at daycare, there was still something about him that made me feel protected. “So, wha’ do you dink, huh?” I asked, not expecting an answer back. I know others might have thought that I was cracking from living in this place too long as a Little, but he was just a nice neutral friend I could vent to in situations like these. Talking out loud always made me feel better and clearer about what to do next. “You’we wigh. Wha’s da hawm in finishin’ ih?” Smiling, I then plucked out one of my crayons and went right on coloring the whole sheet red. I didn’t think anything of it at first, and even found the whole exercise just nice and relaxing. I didn’t have to worry about coloring within the lines and I was just free to go as wild as I wanted. About halfway through my scribbling though, I started to notice a faint trace of blackish blue in a few of the areas I had colored red. I looked closer and other lines had started to reveal themselves from where I had colored last, like the paper was reacting to the red crayon. Insatiably curious, I speedily colored the whole paper in and found a hidden note, clearly meant for a Little to read… specifically me. It took a second for it all to come in, but as I read it for the first time fully, the message was even more confounding as to who had sent it to me in the first place. “E, Subject N. taken. In pursuit. From tracking, Subject N. is likely headed to DC. Stay vigilant in case. B, OF.” I read the words over and over again. My scrambled brain used to be great at puzzles and word searches, but even those proved just a smidge over where everything started to get fuzzy. I had found that with a little practice and repetition though, I could eventually stumble onto an answer. In this case, I quickly realized that Briana from Omega Force had likely sent it about Nancy escaping. A few months ago, I might have frozen in place and have required another diaper change over the one I had just gotten an hour ago, but now, things were different. Nancy still hadn’t shown any signs of improvement from her latest PSAs, and her eyes seemingly just became as dull as ever. I wondered lately if she was even still in there, but now, I knew something was happening to her. ‘Taken… by who? When? Why?’ My mind puzzled with a thousand questions about her, but I soon heard the TV from downstairs spike in volume for a second. I figured I might tell Jimmy and Lillian about Briana and the Omega Force one day, but sighing, I simply placed the note away for now. There was nothing I could do about it in my current life, so instead of getting worked up, I just decided to join my new parent’s downstairs, carrying Patch along with me. To be honest, I only felt proud of myself for actually keeping my emotions in check. Jimmy and Lillian had been working on getting those a bit better and I was finally starting to see the results. As I walked downstairs, I mused over how it had taken me a while to truly think of them as my new parents, but Lillian specifically was slowly getting me used to the idea that around here, ‘parents’ could just be used as a title rather than a chain linking me forever to a babyish lifestyle. I could tell both were itching to be called by other titles, and maybe one day I would, but neither pressed the issue, so I felt comfortable waiting until it felt just right. “Hey, pumpkin,” Jimmy greeted, using his new nickname for me. I still wasn’t sure how I felt about it, but I just smiled back. “Ya got woom fo’ one mo’?” I asked innocently as I could. Jimmy and Lillian smiled back like they usually did when I asked the exact same question likely hundreds of times by now. “Right here, sweetie,” Emma said, patting the cushion between her and Jimmy. It was my usual spot and with Patch still in my hands, nodding, I walked over and then crawled up, nestling between my two new parents comfortably. Princess Poppy soon came on, and while it was a repeat episode, she was still entertaining enough and reviewing some of her more advanced lessons in this episode, that I soon found myself glued in. Halfway through though, to my annoyance, the program was interrupted. ‘Breaking News!’ soon flashed up on the screen before a slick and well-groomed younger man appeared on the screen dressed in a nice suit. “Good evening, everyone. I apologize for interrupting your local program, but this just in: Nancy Donahue has recently been broken out of her undisclosed place of confinement.” From the secret note I had just read, it wasn’t news to me, but I could feel the reassuring hands of both Jimmy and Lillian slowly creep over to me like they usually did whenever we watched a particularly suspenseful movie together. Jimmy began rubbing my back while Lillian held my hand. “Doubtless, many know her from her recent string of PSAs against Little abuse, but she should still be considered armed and dangerous. Current reports are sketchy, but we believe this woman was seen breaking her out earlier today.” A picture then flashed up on the screen. It was grainy and I wasn’t sure how much use it would do anyone else, but every inch of that woman had been burned into my brain: it was Nurse Bee. “Authorities have been questioned and unconfirmed reports believe this possibly to be scientist, Britney Crandle. Connections with Juventas have placed her as a main subject of interest, but again, these reports cannot be confirmed as of right now and authorities are just interested in asking her questions. Lastly, reports track their positioning to Locus Sinus, and I‘m sure we all know what that likely means.” He then sighed as if Locus Sinus was somehow a forgone conclusion that it would be a bad thing. “More tonight… Thank you. And now, back to your local program.” The screen soon flicked back to Princess Poppy as she tried to solve the equation of the lock to get into Gum Meisters castle. Instead of watching though, my mind whirled with everything I had just learned. Authorities may not have known, but Nurse Bee, this Britney Crandle, I just knew was the person that had broken Nancy out. Further, a tiny, long-forgotten memory soon cropped to the front of my head where both had promised each other about their contingency plans. I had no idea what it meant at the time, but looking back now, I was convinced this was it. Lastly, I wondered what was near Locus Sinus and why they would be headed there if it was considered so bad.   I mulled it over in my head for a while and everything else seemed to just be white noise around me. I didn’t think much of it, but soon, the TV had been muted and it slightly snapped me out of my thoughts. “Wha…?” I looked at both Jimmy and Lillian, who were now both looking at me intently. “We were asking you if you were okay, Emma,” Jimmy clarified, clearly looking worried. “So, are you?” Lillian questioned me fearfully. “I mean, with Nancy escaping and…” “Wha’s Locus Sinus?” I asked, interrupting Lillian. Both my new parents stared at me in shock, and I quietly wondered to myself if it was just one of those unmentionable things in this society. I had already learned that lobotomies and surgeries performed in the old days and breeding programs were such topics, but now, I wondered if oddly Locus Sinus was as well. I was itching for the day this fall when the Oasis room was going to cover geography for just moments like these. Finally, though, Jimmy sighed. “Well, it’s uh…” I could clearly see he was struggling to choose the right words to use to describe the place. “It’s just a city on the west coast, honey, but most people associate it with… uh, Dark Cliff Prison…” I struggled to categorize all my thoughts, but then something clicked that I had been wondering about since I had read it in the letter. ‘Dark Cliff Prison… DC… holy smokes! From the letter!’ My thoughts burned with curiosity, and regardless of what I learned, I had to know more. “Wha’s Dar’ Cwiff Pwison den?” Jimmy and Lillian quickly looked at each other. Jimmy seemed he wanted to say something, but Lillian kept shaking her head not to. Finally, I couldn’t stand not knowing. “Pwease! I weally need ta know! Iss ‘bout Nancy. Am I in twouble now because o’ Dar’ Cwiff?” Lillian reluctantly sighed and eventually nodded. “Very well, sweetie. You deserve to know, but see, Dark Cliff is a really bad place for really bad people. We got rid of most of our main prisons years ago… all except for the one, but even that is just used for Middle and Littles.” “That’s right,” Jimmy agreed. “It’s mainly a prison for you all and Middles… the worst of the worst, but for us Bigs, we don’t go to prison usually. We either get reform schools, monetary punishments, or manual labor of some kind. For the truly awful of our kind though, no one seemed satisfied with those punishments for a long time, but when Dark Cliff opened, they ended up being sent there. Curiously though, everyone also knows Bigs don’t stay on the island either.” I felt like I was missing something. If someone goes to a place but then doesn’t stay there, where do they go? I could tell neither wanted to tell me anymore, but I felt I was so close to the truth, so I pushed further. “So… wha’ happens to dem?” Lillian sighed. “We honestly don’t know, honey. That’s kind of the whole mystery surrounding that place. Anyone who knows either has top secret clearance or above… or isn’t talking anymore.” There was a pause, but Jimmy winced for a moment and we both looked at him suspiciously. He quickly looked guilty, but then held his hands up in defense. “Okay, okay… Look, it’s just rumors, but some say the stuff that Nancy has been advertising…” “You mean bein’ a baby an’ all?” I asked quickly just to clarify. Jimmy nodded. “That’s right, but the rumor is that it happens there. Secret facility and all, so don’t repeat this to anyone, but, if that’s where she’s headed… well, I don’t think she’ll ever be a problem for you again, sweetheart.” He then stopped suddenly and widened his eyes to drive home his unsaid conclusion. Lillian got it quickly and gasped, but my mind took a second. By the time I realized what he had meant later that night before I was tucked into bed, I didn’t want to dwell on it anymore. Knowing that she was likely already at least partially regressed, I never thought I would say it, but maybe it would be a gratefully small mercy for her. After all, being a Little isn’t that bad… It was all a lot to take in, but not long after, I was quickly distracted by another piece of news, this time on the home front. Jimmy and Lillian had been placing me with a babysitter lately several times during the week and I was worried that something was wrong with me, but both had also never seemed happier. Satisfied with that much at least, I just went about with my life as usual until one afternoon. I was playing with Patch in my room, having just woken up from a nap, and saw both Lillian and Jimmy walk in. Both were giving me looks that I had seen before that always meant they were up to something. Curious, I pressed first. “Wha’ iss ih dis time? We getting’ a puppy?” Both laughed and then kneeled down to me. “No, sweetie. Maybe one day, but we’ve seen a few other couples do something and we thought we might give it a try.” Jimmy nodded. “That’s right. So, we have a question for you… would you maybe be willing to be an older sister?” I guess I should have expected this, but I was still thrown a little off by the question. The Jeffersons down the street had recently adopted a new brother for their toddler-aged Little, Harry. Harry had been lonely and prone to mischief, but as soon as he became an older brother, he had nearly transformed overnight. I might have been nervous that my new parents thought I was similarly misbehaved but a quick glance over at my reward chart with nearly all smiley faces seemed to prove otherwise. Still, the proposal did seem tempting. “I guess… iss dat wewe you all been goin’ to a’ nigh watewy?” I asked, trying to put everything I knew together. Jimmy smirked and held up his hands. “Oops. She caught us, Lillian.” Lillian rolled her eyes at her husband’s silliness but then looked tenderly back at me. “That’s right, Emma. We just wanted to see if there was even a Little that we figured could fit into our lives. Turns out, we found another portal Little. Was even a teacher like you from Arizona as well.” I immediately started to feel an excitement bubble up in my chest. I was an only child growing up, but I had always wanted a younger brother or sister. A pain sometimes from what I had heard, but here, I felt we could form bond that would just be perfect. So, excited, I wanted to ask several questions, but one stuck out more than the others. “She have a name den?” Lillian smiled and Jimmy retrieved a small photo and showed it to me. “Her name is Vicky.” I looked at the photo, and flashes of my old life quickly filled my head. Her face and her name seemed so familiar from my old life, but I couldn’t place if was maybe at daycare before I was regressed or from even when I was back on Earth. Regardless, seeing her photo and hearing her name, I could only smile widely. “She’s so cute! Can we geh hew soon?” Jimmy and Lillian smiled and pulled me into one of our now classic family hugs. “Of course, sweetie. Of course.” I just kept smiling in the knowledge that our family would soon be growing. Change wasn’t always the best in this world and dimension, but after seeing her photo, something inside of me just tickled with the knowledge that somehow, I just knew this time, the change would be for the best.

OOOOH! YAY! UPDATE! And also, YAY! EXPOSITION AND FRESH NAPPIES!!!
