                               Catbunny Blues
                                     or
                       When Yvonne Met Eric... Again
                             By:  Yvonne Bennett
                          The girl with a catbunny

     Yvonne was sitting in the ChapterHouse, still trying to get the hang of
editing food and drink.  As she took a sip of her latest try, and discovered
it to be a mixture of gin and Sprite, she quietly sat the cup down and
stretched.
     The catbunny leaped off her head and stared hard at the drink.  He
reached up an ear and tossed a little dust at it.  The drink turned orange.
     Yvonne looked down at the strange drink and sniffed at it.  Carrots.
Should've known.
     Just then, Eurydice walked in and weaved her way around tables, chairs,
and a strange dog to get to the catbunny.
     She put her arm out towards the catbunny, who quickly hopped up her arm
and landed on her head.  "Miya?" ... [What's up?]
     The muse read the subtitles and said, "You are wanted in Mademouselle
Muse headquarters... now."
     The catbunny turned his head quickly so that one of his ears slapped his
forhead.  "Miya!"  [Dohw!]
     Eurydice shook her head.  "I dunno.  All I know is that Terpsicore is all
worked up about something."
     The catbunny had a worried look on his face as the muse walked out the
door with him on her head.  "Miya."  [Oh, boy.]

     Yvonne looked on to all this worriedly... she thought something like this
might have happened, but she was hoping that the catbunny would have kept his
human form a secret.  She sighed again, deciding it was his problem, and went
back to work trying to make a proper Zima.

     Meanwhile, Gadge was taking Eric (The VTAS Ranger) on a tour of the Noj.
     "And over here is the Nerf Mountain, and on the top is the Chapterhouse
where all the authors hang out.  C'mon, you should probably go meet them."
     "Ok."
     The two men who looked very much alike scaled the mountain, until Gadge
remembered that he was an author and just edited them to the top.
     As soon as they walked through the door, Gadge was greeted by a chorus of
cheers for having _finally_ returned.  Check that... a bunch of cheers and a
"Woof."
     Yvonne looked up from her flat 7-up with a little vodka in it (missed
again) and spotted Eric.

     Note from the catbunny:
     Here's a comment that I must make.  In Real Life, Eric Pawtowski is
Yvonne Bennett's boyfriend.  In the author's altiverse, Yvonne hasn't realized
that Eric hasn't been in circulation for a long time, and therefore has no
idea who she is.  __/^-^\__

     "Eric!"  Yvonne shouted as she jumped up and started bounding across the
room.
     Eric, Lord Sabre looked up from scolding Calliope about wearing so little
clothing in the Chapterhouse to see what was up.  When he noticed that Yvonne
was bounding in the wrong direction, he sighed, and went back to his talk.
     Yvonne, unfortunately, had closed her eyes for a second, and didn't
notice where she was running.
     *OOF*
     "Hi Dusk!"
     The Large Manly Man in Wet Clothing grabbed Yvonne and squeezed tightly.
Then he tried to show her a post he had been working on.
     The Girl With a Catbunny was very annoyed about this, and used her
authorial power to get out of the Manly Man's grasp, and quickly edited up
some water in a Zima bottle.  (Hey, it's the best she could do on such quick
notice).  She held it up and threatened to make him drink some.
     The Manly Man backed up.  "You can't be Dusk!  Who are you???"
     "Look, bub.  My name is Yvonne, or the Girl With a Catbunny.  I am an
author.  Got that?"
     He nodded vigorously, and Yvonne tossed the bottle into the air, where it
disappeared with a *pop*.  Too bad she forgot about the water.
     *SPLASH*
     "Good thing you have that raincoat, Gadge,"  said Eric.
     <oh yeah, Eric>
     Yvonne got herself together, and tried again.
     "Eric!"  she cried as she started bounding across the room again, this
time watching where she was going.

     Meanwhile, in MMIHQ.
     "Look, you just can't stay here any longer until you behave yourself."
     "Miya?"  [What do you mean?]
     "The musae that haven't had work in a while are worthy of the same
respect as any other muse in this organization.  You shouldn't treat them any
differently than you treat me, Merp, or any active muse."
     "Miya..."  [I do treat them the same....]
     Terpsicore sighed, she was getting tired of these subtitles.  "Would you
_please_ assume your human form?  I know you have it.  That's what this is
about."
     "Miya."  [Oh, all right]
     The Catbunny stood on his hind legs and started changing.  He grew to a
height of about 6'4".  His ears turned into looooong brown hair, cascading
around his shoulders.  His body transformed into a human body, nice looking
enough to give Fabio a run for his money, and a much more beautiful face.
     If you are having trouble visualizing this, think of the Animaniacs
episode "Moon Over Minerva."  Remember what happened to the wolf when the moon
came out?  That's what's going on here.
     Just then an out-of-work muse walked by the door.  After a piercing
whistle and a *thud* as she hit the floor, the conversation continued.
     Terpsicore looked on with a look of dull amusement.  "Right, now what
was that you were saying... um...?"
     The catbunny-turned-human tossed his hair out of his eyes.  "Call me
Oh-Ki.  As I was saying... I treated all _female_ human musae the same.  It's
just that some of them come on to me, and the ones with authors don't."
     Terpsicore shook her head.  "You expect me to believe that all of them
initiated the incidents?  Some of them are bringing charges.  They claim that
you pretended to be an author in search of a new muse, or a second muse, or
whatever.  One even says that you tricked her into thinking that you were
trying to start up a new muse service.  *sigh*  What do you say to those
charges, then?"
     Oh-ki hung his head.  Yvonne told him there would be problems....  "Well,
I can't deny it.  But I didn't do anything, just dated, whatever...."
     "I realize that, but, well, to put it frankly, you created a scare.  How
can we be sure that your intentions are as innocent as you say?  I'm sorry.
It's just a bad idea to have you running around the MM deck.  If there were
more male musae, then we could have made a male MM deck.  But that is not
going to happen.  You must move out.  My decision is final, and backed by the
rest of the musae.  We had a secret vote, and this seemed to be the only
option there was.  Again, I am sorry, Oh-Ki.  The office is still accessable
to you, as are the open areas of the muse deck, but the private rooms are
_strictly_ off limits."
     Oh-ki curtly nodded his head, and quickly changed back into a catbunny.
"Miya!" he miya'd as he hopped out the door, to go pack his belongings and
move out of his room.
     Terpsicore waited a while... "Computer, where are the subtitles?"
     [You don't want to know what he said.]
     "Yes I do!"
     [Believe me, you don't.]
     "Well, can you give me a toned down version?"
     [That's not the problem.]
     "Then tell me, before I pour some _old_ inspiration dust into you!"
     [Oh, allright.  He said "Be seeing, you, Number 2."]
     Terpsicore sighed again, a sly grin on her face.

     Back at the Chapterhouse.
     "Gadge?  Why is that girl running towards mmppphhh!"
     Gadge took a moment to grin at the spectacle before patting Yvonne on the
shoulder.  He whispered in her ear, "He doesn't know you.  He hasn't been
written in the Authors Altiverse for over four years now."
     Yvonne suddenly got an evil look on her face.  "Gee Eric, I just love
this ring."  She quickly edited a nice fake diamond ring on to her left ring
finger.  "Just think, it'll only be a few months until we head to the altar,
and talk to the priest...."
     Eric screamed, his eyes wild with fear.  He pushed the author away and
ran to a corner to upload what has been happening in the real world since he
was gone.
     When he walked back he had a scowl on his face, but Yvonne and Gadge
couldn't stop laughing.  Heck, they couldn't even stand up.
     Yvonne stopped laughing long enough to say, "I'm sorry Eric!  I just
couldn't resist!  Ha ha he he.... oops."
     She grabbed Gadge by the ear to make him stop laughing and apologize to
Eric.  Then she edited Gadge and Eric a couple of cokes and they sat down at
a table to talk.
