Max needed some blush for his ears so he went to the mall. (You read that right; Max wears makeup but the bunny world doesn't issue judgments on that sort of thing and you have to admit it -- Max would look funny if he didn't have pink in the ears like those cute but fake ear headbands in the dollar bin.) At the mall, Max encountered a small boy who relieved his boredom in the beauty store by practicing some "spells" over the face steamer bowl. That wasn't a very good idea, because a world where bunnies go shopping is full of unexpected events. Thus, a trembling package appeared in the beauty store. The densely packed square could fit in a tote, but it seemed to contain the energy of a giant. Max's bunny sense kicked in and he offered to take the package home for a closer look, away from innocent shoppers.
Well once at home, Max realized he was in grave danger when the package continued to tremble in his fluffy white paws. No grip was tight enough to contain it. So in a fleeting moment to prevent an explosion in his house, he raced to his front door, flung it open and tossed the package out. This was a mistake. See, the contents would only be as large as the container in which they were released. Instead, the beast was to be of extreme size, since the package lay on the grass with nothing but sky overhead.
Oops.
Quickly, Max pulled his doors shut and locked himself in the house and waited. Just outside the door, a giant Lego Man was building itself from the shards of the exploded package. Max thought he was buying some time until he saw the gap at the bottom of the door -- it had caught on the step and wasn't fully secured. Just as he moved to correct it, a Lego Man finger found that gap and tickled Max's nose. Now for sure, the Lego Man knew Max's hiding spot and he unleashed his wrath on the door.
Max thought. What can bunnies do? They can spring and bound, he reasoned. Lego... wonderful and big, but clumsy. So as the door shook and heaved, he bounded up the stairs to a second floor window. He nimbly removed the window screen, flung open the window and jumped out onto a backyard gazebo roof where he watched from safety as the Lego Man raced to the window -- but because of his giant size, had lost many pieces already. Still too large to fit through the window but determined anyway to get to Max, the Lego Man muscled through the opening and quickly crumbled to hundreds of little pieces, showering to the ground below.
"That'll show him", Max thought as he munched on a carrot.
