The Field Trip

By: byruble

It's loud. Very loud. Laughter and screaming fill the spacious living room of an old apartment. This room specifically has been turned into a sort of daycare by its sole tenant Rhonda Anderson, a lioness working her way through her senior year in college. Luckily for Rhonda she majors in teaching, so this daycare gig both helps cushion the blow for her tuition and gives her much needed experience with children.

She stands watch as her four cubs play their strange remix of freeze tag and duck-duck-goose. Her eyes bounce from her watch and back to them. Three... two... one...

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

"Alright, it's time you guys!" Rhonda announces in sing song. Settle down noooow..."

The somewhat obedient cubs calm down. They hop up on a large fluffy couch and look up at her, panting and catching their breath.

"Let's cross everything off the checklist one last time. I don't want any 'surprises' like last time... Zoe?"

"No worries, I got the map Ms. A!" Zoe Highbaugh, a nerdy looking seven year old fox responds in a sort of know-it-all tone. She's the oldest and self appointed smarty pants of the group.

"I can always count on you," Rhonda responds with a hearty smile. "Okaaaay... Louis and Lisa?"

"I got the snackies, Miss!" Lisa Somners, the youngest of the group at only three and a half years old, responds with a cheery tone.

"No, I got the snackies! They're in my backpack!" Her six year old brother Louis snaps back with a glare. "You always lose things and snacks are very important!"

"I never lose anything you stinky butthead!"

"Okay, okay. As long as someone has the snacks it doesn't matter..." Rhonda calms the racoons down with a softer voice. "Now... last but certainly not least, Timmy?"

"Uhm... yeah... I got it..." timid four year old Timothy Cox whispers back, snuggling his baby blue blanky. Rhonda knows better than to put the shy deer cub in charge of anything important. The poor kid gets a panic attack just being in charge of collecting the crayons after drawing time...

"Excellent, excellent!" The lioness praises. "As you all may know we're going to be visiting the botanical gardens today. Spring break is here and so is this season's blooooom! Go nature!"

"WOOOOOO!" All but one cub cheers.

"Why are we gonna go see a bunch of dumb plants?" Louis huffs and sighs to hard he hunches over. "What a lame way to spend spring break! We see plants every day!"

"Aw... it won't be so bad!" Rhonda walks up to the cross armed cub with a smile. "You won't just see regular old plants... you'll see exotic plants! And who knows? Maybe we'll even be allowed to eat some of the fruit!"

"Hmph. whatever. The only reason I wanna go is 'cause I heard that place was haunted! I heard you can see ghosts running around even in the daylight!"

"Haunted? G-Ghosts?" Timmy stutters with wide open eyes.

"Oh, don't listen to him. There's no such thing as ghosts. He's just trying to scare you like he always does..." Rhonda turns to the Louis with a squint. "So stop it."

"Alright, alriiiiight... I'm just telling you guys what I heard. Don't say I didn't warn ya!"

"Who cares about ghosts!" His little sister squeaks. "Is it gonna be hot? Am I allowed to take my shirt off Ms. A?"

"No, Lisa... I know how much you hate clothes but the shirt stays on. Shorts too."

"Yeah. No one wants to see your fat belly anyway. Ahahah!"

"Shut up, Louis! I'm not fat! You're fat! You're a big fat poopoo face!"

"Uhm... Ms. A?" Zoe elegantly chimes in. "Shouldn't we get moving? Since it's spring break there's probably gonna be a whole bunch of traffic..."

"Ah, you're right! We won't have time for adventure if we're stuck in traffic! The frantic lioness reaches in her purse for her keys. "Okay my little minions... AWAAAAAY!"

"AWAAAAAAY!" The squad marches behind their caretaker and follows her outside.

Rhonda looks up and spreads her arms out. If the singing birds and long shadows are any indicator, the morning is still fairly early. A gentle breeze skims along the dewy grass, providing her and her little troop with the occasional burst of fresh air. It's sorely needed as the sun's uncomfortably warm rays begin to rain down. It all has that 'spring break' feel.

Everyone hops into her old minivan. It's kept in much better condition on the inside than on the outside. Zoe sits directly behind Rhonda, Louis and Lisa next to Zoe and Timmy in the passenger's seat, as is the assigned seating. Although the three protest Timmy's shotgun position, how else will he hold Rhonda's paw if he starts getting nervous? There's even a fake emergency brake set up for him just to provide him with some sense of control.

"Seat belts everyone?"

"Yes Ms. A!"

"Good. Now, let's see..." Rhonda pulls down her visor to reveal a small taped list in place of the mirror. "Hmm... hmm... ah! Louis! Today's your turn to decide the movie."

"Nooo! He always plays that dumb monster truck movie! It's super dumb!" Lisa whines, her lip in the optimal pouting position.

"I do not!" Louis' reponse is met with a raised brow from everyone. "Tch. Fiiiiine. We can watch... Monsta Truckz 2 - Return of the Monsta!"

"Oh, come on..." Zoe huffs. "Can't we watch something else?"

"Nope! Ms. A said it's my turn to choose! Prepare your eyeballs for ULTRA SICK TRUCK BATTLES!"

"I'm sure it won't be that bad guys... maybe it'll be slightly different than the last four hundred times we watched it..." Rhonda says under her voice. She starts her car and inserts the CD into the player.

Two small screens attached to the back of the front seats play the movie. There's big trucks, small trucks, wide trucks and long trucks crashing and smashing into each other. A heavy metal theme song plays and the title name appears in explosions.

"Here we go..." Zoe sighs. "'Introducing the biggest and baddest-'"

"MONSTER TRUCKS FROM ALL OVER THE WORD!" The hyped narrator takes over. "GET READY FOR SOME ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL BATTLES FOLKS! I'M TALKING BATTLES SO BRUTAL YO MOMMA GON' WAKE UP LIKE 'OH MY GOODNESS. THOSE ARE SOME ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL-'"

"YEEEAAAAH," Louis fist pumps. "MONSTER TRUUUUUUUCKS!"

"So annoying..." the irritated fox comments. "You do realize how bad those things are for the environment, right?"

"Your FACE is bad for the environment! BWAHAHAH!"

"Ms. A?" Timmy's barely audible voice calls out. "Are there gonna be any scary plants in the bo... boadi... gal... gardens?"

"Of course not. That would be unsafe, and the botanical gardens are all about safety..." Rhonda pets the deer's soft head, reassuring him with her non verifiable words. It beats him having a panic attack all the way there... "There's nothing to be afraid of. Those plants are nice and colorful. You'll see. Now... where's that cute little smile of yours?"

"Hehe... r-right here!" The cub gives his best smile, which is just a regular smile for anyone else.

After a couple of minutes of driving through the the small town Rhonda merges onto the miraculously uncongested freeway. It's one of those cool spaghetti type ones, allowing the cubs a clear view of the big city that awaits them. The unfathomably high skyscrapers are always a crowd favorite.

"It's hot miiiiiss..." Lisa groans. "Can I please take my shirt off?"

"Now you're just looking for excuses to go topless, young lady. The AC is on full blast. I'm actually surprised you're not asking for a sweater..." Rhonda gives the cub a sassy look. "Besides. I think we'd all prefer it if your shirt stays on."

"But I'm still soooooo haaaaaawt!"

"Only farts are hot for that long! I knew you were a fart! Haha!" Her brother teases. "Nobody wants to see your-OOOOH MY GOOOOSH!" His eyes glisten as they lay witness to a pancaked monster truck. "SEE? SEE? YOU'RE MISSING THIS!"

"Hmph." The young racoon stays quiet. Clearly no one cares for her non-problem.

"Ms. A?" Zoe raises her hand for some reason. "Is there anything you wanted to teach us in the garden? Are we going to learn about different species of flower? Or are we-"

"N-No... none of that." The lioness gives her most studious cub a worried smile. "We're only going to enjoy ourselves. There will be no homework... that I didn't prepare.... because it's spring break..."

"Oh... then couldn't we have gone to the water park or something, no?"

"Eheh..." Rhonda looks into the rearview mirror. "They were having a special this week for the botanical gardens. Since everyone is going to the water park, they're charging a whole lot more to get in... but uh... jokes on them! They're really gonna miss out of the beautiful plants, eh?"

"Yeah... they won't get to see the spoOoOoly ghoOoOosts!" Louis wiggles his fingers in the air, his tiny fangs exposed.

"There's n-no ghosts, you dummy! Ms. A said so!" Timmy lashes back, his tone more of a question than a statement.

"Do you think ghosts are nakey? I bet they are! They run around all day nakey and feeling super duper fresh! I wanna be a ghost, too!"

"You can't be a ghost..." Louis puckers his lips at his sister, "... 'cause you uuuugly! Ahahah!"

"No, you uuuugly!"

Rhonda phases out the cubs and focuses on the road. This banter between the two is a tune she knows all too well. Her exit comes up just in time, as the road ahead is horribly congested.

"Are we there yet?" Lisa asks in the only way any kid would ask this question, monotonously and obnoxiously.

"No... and don't you dare start with that!" Rhonda points back. "We'll get there when we get there."

"Yeah, but are we THERE yet?"

"Lisa..." Zoe takes a deep breath, "do you see that little green dot in the distance?"

"Hmm... yeah?"

"THAT'S the botanical gardens. We're not there yet..."

"That makes sense... but are WE there yet?"

Rhonda and Zoe ignore the grinning raccoon, knowing this isn't going to end any time soon.

After only ten minutes the buildings begin fading from view. They exit the big city and drive down a road full of tall trees and grass. The botanical gardens are just up ahead.

"Ms. A!" Timmy's small tail pounds against the seat. "I think we're here!"

"Yeah anyone with eyes can see-" Louis smug remark is violently halted by Zoe's death glare. "Uh... n-nevermind..."

They drive under the massive welcome sign covered with thick ornate vines. The parking lot is only at half capacity, leaving Rhonda free to choose the optimal spot. After paying at the ticketing booth, she parks her van right in front of the entrance and unloads the cubs.

"Wow, Zoe... good call earlier!"

"For what?" Louis asks with a condescending tone.

"For THAT". Rhonda points to the driveway entrance where they were at only seconds ago. A conga line of cars swarm in out of nowhere, taking the rest of the parking spots like flies on poo. "If we left even a second later we might not have found parking..."

"As I predicted," Zoe smiles and adjusts her oversized glasses. "Don't mention it!"

"Okay guys," Rhonda announces as she walks towards the main gate. "Don't you dare stray away from me. Stay together. If one of you gets lost or you're in trouble, just... uhm... scream 'neenernoonernanerniner' very VERY loudly... got it?"

"NEENERNOONERNANERNINER!" The group responds with a giggle.

With that flawless game plan sorted out they walk through the large rose covered gates. There it is. Quite possibly the largest collection of diverse plant life in any place of the world, as far as they know anyway. The path is cut off into different sections, each featuring different plants such as flowers, trees, grasses, and so much more.

"Woooow! Ms. A! Can we go there? Pretty please?" Lisa points to an enormous green dome.

"Hmm... I guess it looks KINDA cool..." Louis says, obviously hiding his excitement.

"It is decided, then!" Rhonda points forth. "Our adventure begins there! FORWARD MAAAARCH!" She leads the cubs to the dome with a comically fast power walk. They follow with goofy walk cycles of their own, even adding their own sound effects.

They follow the dirt path--receiving many stares from the onlookers, of course--until they arrive at what's known as The Dome of the Giants. Once inside, towering trees from every corner of the world greets them with their massive shadows. Some have blue leaves, purple bark, wire-like branches and even rare fruit. The cubs stare in awe as their meager size pales in comparison.

"Holy kamoly..." Timmy nearly breaks his neck just trying to see the treetop. "Nature is amazing..."

"See? I told you it'd be worth it..." Rhonda rubs the jaw dropped deer's shoulders.

"What's worth it is THIS!" Louis points at a small sign on the ground that seems to be scattered throughout the dome. "'All fruit is... edi... ebid..."

"It means you can eat it," Zoe explains. "There's all kinds of fruit on the grass... which one to try first..."

"This oooooone!" Louis picks up a nearby fruit. It's shaped like a diamond and looks like a kind of pearlescent apple. "Here goes...nom!"

Everyone watches with anticipation. The raccoon's face changes from a smile to a frown a disturbing amount of times. Finally after a whole minute of his facial slideshow he swallows it.

"Well?" Zoe leans a little closer. "How's it taste?"

"I dunno... it keeps changing flavor!"

"Changing flavor!?" All the cubs yell out. They all grab their own diamond shaped fruit and have a go at it. It's like eating a strawberry... then a pancake... then strawberry syrup on a pancake... then beans... then a bean burrito. It is indeed a flavor rollercoaster, but by the looks on their faces it's at least entertaining to eat.

Zoe moves on to a decorated tree with deep yellow spots all over it. Its leaves are also yellow but have black stripes on them. It's reminiscent of a bumble bee. Timmy approaches her from her peripherals.

"I've read in a book before that this tree has these spots to stop animals from chewing on its bark."

"H-How does that help the tree?" Timmy asks as he twiddles his fingers.

"Well, the markings look like poison to animals. It is said these trees copied that dangerous color technique from "watching" how well it works for poisonous frogs. Pretty cool, huh?"

"Pretty booooooring," Louis busts in. "Can we go somewhere else now?"

"Hmm... I guess we've seen all there is to see." Rhonda scratches her head as she joins the trio with Lisa in tow. "Where did you guys wanna go next?"

"Can we please see the flower garden Ms. A? I hear it's very beautiful this time of year!" Zoe looks at her with clasped paws.

"Sure! Though, I'm not really sure how to get there from here..."

"That's why you left ME in charge of the map, remember?" Zoe hums as she rummages inside her brown satchel. "Hmm... found it! So... we're here... and the flower garden is... okay! Follow me guys!"

"You heard the lady!" Rhonda points at the map holder with two finger guns. "Lead the way, missy!"

They follow the confident fox out of the dome up a green hilly path. Life grows from every corner of the eye. The air around them even has a purer quality to it. They say you can gain a few years of life just by roaming around a botanical garden for a couple of hours. One breath inside will put the naysayers to rest.

"Ahah!" Zoe exclaims as they reach the hills crest. "We're here!"

An unfathomable amount of flowers lie before them in neatly organized plots on a vast plain. They're lined up against several walkways for easy viewing for the visitors. Hundreds of aromas fly by their muzzles, both delighting and confusing them. Some smell like lavenders, and others like cheesecake... how bizarre!

"It's so pretty..." Timmy says as he holds his blankie tighter. "I can't wait to-"

"IT'S HOT," Lisa blurts out. "If i don't take off my shirt soon I'm gonna burn up like a muffin in a volcano!"

"Just let her take her shirt off Ms. A," her brother drones, "she's just gonna keep annoying you. She does this at home all the time!"

"How about... you just... waft your shirt up and down... like this." Rhonda demonstrates. "This normally does the trick."

"But miiiiiiss..."

"Let's just leave them be..." Zoe pulls Timmy away from the bickering trio. "You like flowers, right? Or are you too cool to like them like Louis?"

"I... I like flowers," The shy cub responds, "but my mommy says some flowers can hurt you so I shouldn't get too close..."

"Huh... well I don't know of a single flower that can hurt you." Zoe pets the deer's soft hair. "See that one? It's one of my favorites!"

Timmy kneels down to read the the sign she's pointing to. 'Joyburst'. While the flower itself looks like any other flower it does have a certain quality that makes it live up to its name. Just one whiff of its citrusy-vanilla aroma puts all of his anxiety at bay.

"Gosh... it smells so good..."

"Yup! Just goes to show it's not what's on the outside that counts, but what's... uh... smells good on the... uhm..."

Timmy stares at the mumbling fox as if he were daydreaming. He'll probably never admit it but he has a rather large crush on the nerdy fox. She's the only one he knows who's patient enough to talk to him, a quality even his own parents lack. Rhonda is good to him too but she's supposed to be, right? Besides, Zoe's around his age. Perhaps some day...

"Hey... are you okay?" She asks the zoned out deer.

Timmy's senses are delightfully numb from the heavenly aroma around him. He begins feeling its euphoric effects. Suddenly the fox girl seems a lot... foxier. Unfortunately, the feeling of arousal is still very much foreign to him. It's uncomfortably exciting...

"Huh... I... I think I hear Ms. A calling!" With those words spoken two whole octaves higher than usual he turns tail and books it. Zoe watches him shuffle back to the lioness with a confused smile.

"Okay Lisa. Once we get back to the van I'll let you take your shirt off, since you're apparently allergic to clothes..." Rhonda glares at the pouting cub. "Can you please stop crying now?"

"Y-Yay!" Lisa sniffles. "I knew you were the coolest!"

"See? I told you she wouldn't stop until you said yes!" Louis shakes his head. "You're the most annoying sister in the galaxy!"

"As long as everyone is happy, I'm happy." Rhonda sighs a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, everyone but me!" He reminds her. "This place taaaanks!"

"You won't say that once I show you the reason why this place is so famous..." Rhonda makes binoculars with her paws and hovers them over his eyes. "Feast thine eyes!"

"Whoa! Is that... is that a hedge maze!?" Louis' frown is turned into a beaming smile.

"N-No... right next to it! It's the Whispering Venus Fly Trap House! Supposedly when flies land on one of those they begin whisp-"

"HEDGE MAAAAAAAAAZE!" The excited raccoon throws his paws in the air and makes a mad dash towards the grassy labyrinth.

"Loius! LOUIS! COME BACK HERE! HEY!" Rhonda shakes her fist in the air. "Ugh! Guys let's go!"

"Yes Ms. A!"

The Louis Pursuit Squad chase down the WADDLING DEFECTOR through the field of flowers. Unfortunately for the out of shape cub his stamina begins to falter almost immediately. His pursuers are gaining on him at an alarming rate. He manages to persevere just long enough to make it inside the maze.

"Run... ruuuun.... ruh... bah..." With one paw reaching for the sky, the exhausted raccoon collapses. "Noooo..."

"Mhm?" Rhonda and the cubs form a circle around him.

"You're such a butthead!" His sister yells. "You're gonna get in so much trouble!"

"Hold on... hold on..." the panting cub lugs himself back up. "Look around you. You can't tell me... this isn't... awesome!"

They do as he asks with a skeptical face. All around them are walls made entirely of shrubs, vines and plants. They're so tall even the sunlight has trouble illuminating its seemingly never ending hallways. There's also a refreshing yet unsettling sheet of fog lingering on the grassy floor...

"Well... this area isn't on the map, so we're obviously not supposed to be in here," Zoe says as-a-matter-of-factly.

"Did you see any keep out signs or anything? No? Exactly! We'll be fiiiiiine!"

"Well we might've missed them because we were too busy chasing you," Rhonda growls.

"Aww, c'mon Ms. A! Let's just walk around here for a bit! It's so cool in here!"

"Absolutely no-"

"It's really fresh, too!" Lisa adds. "I don't even feel like taking my shirt off!"

"I just don't think it's a good ide-"

"Wow, look at those flowers!" Zoe tag teams in on the interruptions, walking up to the grassy wall in wonderment. "I didn't even know Celestial Roses grew in this side of the world! How fascinating..."

"Uh-huh..." Rhonda waits for Timmy to chime in.

"... Well... those flowers ARE pretty..."

"Ugh. Outnumbered, eh? Fine. We'll check it out but only for a few minutes! "Rhonda eyes bounce from wall to wall. "This place gives me the heebie jeebies..."

"Alright Ms. A!" Louis pulls out a bag of chips from his backpack. "Snacks, anyone?"

Rhonda and her enthusiastic cubs set off to explore the labyrinth's massive hallways. Although not as vast with plantlife as the rest of the gardens it does hold gems of its own: luminescent dandelions, rainbow-like roses and long wet vines with bright red leaves the shape of horns...

They make a left... then a right... then another left... a right once more. Louis continues munching on his chips, leaving so many crumbs behind it looks as if he was planting the things. Lisa admires the scenery next to Rhonda, turning around every so often to glare at her brother's barbaric crunching.

"What is that, Zoe?" Timmy whispers as he slows down to meet her pace, staring at the peculiar vines.

"Not really sure... I've never seen these before." Zoe keeps her distance from the horned leaves and squints. "I wouldn't touch it, though... they might be poisonous or something!"

"POISINOUS!?" Rhonda screeches to a halt. "Okay... I think it's time we turned around!"

"Aw, don't be a thcaredy cat mith A!" Louis teases with his mouth full. He grabs one of the vines and tugs on it. "Thee? If it wath poithonouth, I would've-"

"NOOOO!" Rhonda screams, standing frozen in place. She can't help but bite down on her paws, the thought of the little cub

"Seeeee?" Louis smirks. "No poison."

"It takes a little while for poison to work, dummy." Zoe shakes her head. "You better wash your hands or something or you're gonna spread it to all of us..."

"Psh. You guys are all being big babies. Besides... if it did poison me, I'd beat it up to teach it a lesson!"

"Hah! You can't beat up a plant, dummy!" Lisa snickers.

"Oh yeah?" Louis grabs a pawful of the vine's crimson leaves with an evil smirk. "Watch this!"

"No, don't! Plants have feelings too you big mean-"

"HYAAAAA!" The bug-eyed raccoon tears a good chunk of leaves from the vine with a loud rip.

"Louis!" Zoe and Rhonda yell out.

"Relaaaaaaax! I'm fi-"

"L-LOUIS! B-BEHIND YOU!"

The cocky raccoon follows Timmy's trembling finger. Ten, maybe twenty vines along the labyrinth's leafy walls peel off, their ends pointing at Louis like daggers. Another set slither along the floor, stopping only inches from his feet. An ominous silence fills the air.

"IT'S THE G-GHOSTS! RUUUUUUUUU-OOF!" Timmy's two second escape attempt is instantly thwarted by four snake-like vines. The cold green ropes wrap around his ankles and wrists and lift him into the air in mere moments.

All the other cubs meet the same fate only seconds later. Before even getting a chance to cry for help another set of vines appear from the hedges and wrap themselves around their mouths like makeshift duct tape. Rhonda is the last one standing...

"L-Let them go! Please!" The hyperventilating lioness pleads. "Or else you'll be sorry! I just so happen to love eating my vegetabl-AAAAHHH!"

She joins her troop restrained and muted in the air. There are maybe a hundred red-leafed vines surrounding them now, all "staring" at them as if waiting for their turn. Rhonda uses every ounce of her tigress strength to try and break free of the vine's clammy grasp. Unfortunately, she only aggravates them...

The vines decide Rhonda to be their first 'victim'. The squirming lioness tries with all her might but just can't seem to shake off their cold tight grip. Two more vines appear from the hedges and slither up her legs.

The cubs shut their eyes in their frightened state, muffling and struggling to break free. Well, all but Louis. Scared as he may be he can't help but watch the chaos unfold. He's not exactly sure what's going to happen next but he wants to at least be able to see it coming.

Having seen her fair share of weird tentacle videos on the internet Rhonda can only assume the worst, in front of the cubs no less! The vines brush her inner thighs on their way up to her bright blue skirt, giving the lioness the most severe case of the shivers. She spreads her legs in an attempt to make it harder for the vines to pull down her skirt. No luck. The skirt gets yanked down with no resistance.

"Mmf! MMF!" She muffles as her thin purple lacy panties are exposed for the cubs to see. Again, only Louis has eyes on her, maybe now more than ever. He never realized how plump her butt was since she always wears these poofy skirts. Her buttcheeks jiggle as she continues her attempt to break free, sufficiently kept in place by the tight fitting panties. Sure, the whole squad is suspended in the air by sentient vines with unknown agendas but what other chance would he have to see his curvy caretaker like this?

The two wandering vines attach themselves to the shoulders of her orange "Spring Break!" t-shirt. She shakes her head, begging the vines for mercy. They show none, of course, and quickly relieve her of her shirt.

Louis takes another long look at the unclothed tigress. Her breasts are around average size for her age and are covered up by a lacy purple bra. Never did he ever think he would see his caretaker like this. His little downstairs neighbor even decides to check what all the fuss is about...

Rhonda can do nothing but allow herself to be eye candy. One by one the cubs cease their struggle and watch their half naked caretaker squirm around half naked in the air. They're all shocked, save for one pervy little raccoon.

Speaking of Louis, it seems he's next in line...

The vines waste no time tugging and pulling on his loose fitting clothing. Their first target is his beige cargo shorts, which he says is his signature piece of clothing. The vines are noticeably rougher with him, hanging him upside down for starters...

"NOO! NOT MY SHOR-MMF!" He manages to get a few words out before hearing a high pitched tear. His shorts are ripped in two by the powerful sentient rope. A t-shirt and undies is his regular attire for watching Saturday morning cartoons, but in this context is just utterly embarrassing. Now everyone will know of his secret love for monster trucks with cute anime faces on them, which are printed on his tight fitting briefs. The way the vines pulled apart his shorts leaves him with a gnarly wedgie as well. He grips tighter onto the bundle of crimson leaves as if trying to hurt the vines back. Nothing. Just for that, the vines snatch his backpack full of snacks and pull them into the abyss that is the hedge.

The cubs can't help but giggle a little,all things considered. Meanwhile, Rhonda is busy trying to find a way to escape the clutches of these perverted green tentacles before they try doing something else. Just the thought of having her innocent little cubs molested by these things gives her stage five anxiety.

With Louis' "I'm the coolest" shirt ripped to shreds and the words rearranged on the floor spell out "I'm the loco set", the vines move onto little his sister. She's surprisingly calm, but it's no wonder given that being in the nude is her favorite past time.

The plants sense it, too. She's suspended in the air like the others, but their grasp isn't as tight. It's more or less just a harness on her.

The grassy ropes get to work. One of them hooks onto the crotch area of her bright blue jean shorts while the other grips the bottom of her pony patterned t-shirt. They pull apart their latched items in unison, the shorts' button and zipper breaking and falling into tall grass, forever lost.

Although a little frightened by the animated vines she finds joy in finally having having her clothes finally removed. The fresh air grazes her bare chest and belly, a feeling she's grown fond ever since her parents developed a rather lenient stance about being fully clothed in the house. A look of disappointment paints her face as the vines stop undressing her at her balloon patterned pull-up.

Timmy and Zoe look at one another, their hearts pounding as they wait for the pervy vines to decide which one of them to undress next. The two vines that seem to be designated for clothing removal point to the struggling fox and then to the quivering deer as if playing a good ol' game of eeny-meeny-miny-moe. The suspense intensifies as the duo's pointing slows down. It is decided.

Both of them, of course!

Zoe and Timmy brace themselves as a single clammy vine slithers up both their legs. The already undressed victims can only watch as they dangle in the air helplessly. Lisa is the only one wearing a smile...

The lone vine worms its way onto Zoe's soft butt to reach for her red and pink plaid summer dress. She knows she can't stop this thing but she isn't going down without a fight. One can almost hear the vine scoff at her futile attempt. It ignores her jiggling and proceeds to relieve her of her floofy apparel.

Timmy's bright red face can be seen from space. Is he really about to see his crush in her undies? Although still not really fond of being in a relationship with a cootie ridden girl, his primal instincts can't help but appreciate the impending strip show...

Unfortunately, a thick wandering vine reminds him that he, too, will be in nothing but his undies very soon. The vine inches its way up his dabbing panda t-shirt and clings onto the collar right under his neck. After a momentary pause it continues its ascent, taking his shirt high into the sky. The cub keeps his eyes on Zoe in an attempt to distract himself from the thieving plant. Looks like the bottom half of Zoe's dress is being lifted...

She hates the attention but has no way of broadcasting her thoughts. She can physically feel Timmy's curious little eyes run up and down her exposed pink bikini panties. The tight fabric accentuates her hindquarters a little more than they should, adding to his visual pleasure. Of all the days for her regular panties to be in the wash...

A confusing tingle forms in Timmy's tiny grapes. His willy only stands up like that when he has naughty thoughts and right now he can't even think of anything else. He knows what the vines are doing is wrong but he's still eager to see what else lies underneath that pretty dress...

...Unfortunately, his vine decides it's his turn to relieve him of his second item of clothing. It patiently unbuttons his little green shorts and gently slides them down his quaking legs. It seems even the vines are aware of the young deer's fragile nature. His tighty whities slowly but surely come into view. He can feel his whole body heat up from the embarrassment. His only solace is that he's not the only one half naked.

Just as Zoe came to terms with having the top half of her dressed removed any second, a thought hits her like a brick. She isn't wearing her training bra! While in all honesty there isn't much to show off the little bit she DOES have is very precious to her. She doesn't want her goodies out in the open for the world to see, however unripe they may be!

Sadly the vine couldn't care less about her predicament. As a matter of fact, it's safe to assume the vine doesn't care about anything. In slow motion, it begins lifting the remainder of her dress over her slim belly. She feels the soft fabric glide over her tiny sensitive nipples...

Timmy gets an eyeful of the violently blushing, half naked fox. Normally he thinks of her as pretty or cute. Now, she's something else entirely... something that keeps making his willy do a sort of head bob. It feels really good to him, but something about that feels so... naughty. He closes his eyes to prevent himself from staring further.

Rhonda's eyes dart from vine to vine. Everyone is undressed... what more could these things want? She'd rather not expand on that thought...

Although the cubs aren't struggling anymore she knows they're all in distress... or at least they should be. Lisa's giggling must be from her sheer horror! She closes her eyes and takes several deep breaths, relaxing her body. Breathe in... breathe out... breathe in... and out. In a flash, she draws her razor sharp claws and impales the vines with all the strength of a true tigress. Her literal blades dig deep inside the mean green clothes ripping machine. Nothing. Not even a wince.

Her effort is not in vain, however. Louis sees her display of power and finds himself incredibly turned on by his badass half naked caretaker. He drops the crimson leaves in his amazement...

That does it. The vines release the squad in the blink of an eye and retract back into the hedges. Everyone plummets to the ground with a loud earthshaking thud.

"Owie, owie, owie!" Lisa cries out. "You bonehead! Why did you do that?"

"Huh?" Louis rubs his impacted tushie. "You mean SAVE us? Don't you mean to say THANK YOU?"

"O-Okay," Ms, Rhonda pipes up, still shaken from the experience, "is everyone okay?"

"I'm okay, Ms. A..." Timmy groans.

"That was fun!" Lisa says, already over the pain. "Let's do it again!"

"No, it wasn't!" Louis objects, "those stupid broccolis gave me a super mean wedgie!"

"Well, why did you pull on its hair huuuuuh? That's what you get!"

"Pfft! That wasn't hair! They were friggin' leaves! LEAVES!"

"Zoe?" Rhonda approaches the quivering cub. The siblings are obviously back to their regular selves... "Are you okay?"

"I guess so..." Zoe crosses her arms in an attempt to hide her bare chest. "Can we get back to the van? I don't want anyone else to see us like this!"

"You're telling me... guys! Group up!"

Everyone follows her order and gather in a tight circle. While still a little uncomfortable being half naked around one another, there's an unspoken agreement that nobody is to stare at one another for too long. It seems Louis missed the memo...

"Louis! Eyes up here!" Rhonda barks.

"Ah! Eheheh... yes Ms. A..."

"Okay. I don't know what just happened but we can all safely say it was Louis' fault. I also don't wanna say that I told you guys that coming here was a bad idea but coming here was CLEARLY a bad idea!" The lioness' words are filled with salt... "but anyway, we gotta get out of here without being spotted. If someone sees four half naked kids following a half naked lady around... well, that can't possibly end well."

"How are we going to find out way back to the entrance? We ARE in a maze..." Zoe looks up at the thick natural walls. "Think we can climb?"

"No way... EVERYONE would see us! Besides, we already have plenty of path markers..." Rhonda points at the trail of chip crumbs on the ground.

"Again, you're WELCOME." Louis crosses his arms with a smirk.

After a menacing glare from Rhonda the squad quietly follow the trail as to avoid angering the vines once again. They all awkwardly avoid eye contact and focus on the path ahead. Since Timmy has the shortest tail and can't cover his butt he decides to be the last to follow. It definitely isn't a plan to be an intimate look at Zoe's swanky booty... no sir.

A left turn... a straight... a right turn... another right turn... there it is. The exit. It's at the end of the long corridor a befitting beam of light at the end. They can also hear their hear an angelic choir somewhere...

"So close..." Rhonda whispers. "We're almost there guys!"

They pass more of the crimson leaves from earlier. Lisa's attention. Isn't this what Louis pulled on? She wonders...

"Lisa?" Zoe turns around to check on the trailing cub. "...LISA, NO!"

In the dantiest of ways, the leaf is plucked. The vines return with a vengeance, this time like full on torpedos. They launch at full speed towards the wide eyed group.

"It wasn't me this time! Ahahah!" Louis laughs, frozen in place.

"Lisa... why..." Zoe asks, her ears pasted to her head. Lisa only shrugs...

"Ms. A! They're gonna take my undies!" Timmy hugs her bare leg with. "Noooo!"

"They're gonna take all our undies, Timmy..." Rhonda replies with grimace, her shoulders drooped. "This is literally the worst day ev-"

*WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!*

The serpent-like vines zoom by the huddled victims. Several of them slide along their exposed chest, butts and bellies, but continue forth. In what feels like only a second, they vanish. Dead silence.

"Mmm... MMM...!" Zoe whimpers, her paws practically welding her eyes shut. "Please don't tell me..."

Timmy, oddly enough, is the first one brave enough to open his eyes. His entire body heats up at the lewd sight. He's behind everyone, getting the best view in the house... four bare quivering butts. Of course, Zoe's stands out in particular. They may not be as plump or as thick as Rhonda's but they're cute in their own way. He's never seen a girl naked before and neither has his little willy...

"WOW! NICE BOOBIES MS. A!" Louis breaks the silence, his lewd bellow booming across the entire length of the maze.

"Oh my GOSH! LOUIS!" Rhonda hisses back, her paws hovering over her bare breasts and cooch. "KEEP. IT. DOWN!"

"S-Sorry! I just... wow! Haha!"

"Wooohoooo!" Lisa spreads her arms like an airplane and runs around in a circle. "I'm freeeeee!"

"GUYS HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM WE'RE ALL NAKED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF-"

"Zoe!" Rhonda seals the shrieking fox's lips with a loud smack. "Please! If someone hears us we're going to be in BIG. TROUBLE. Understand? That goes for ALL of you! Zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket!"

The nude cubs gesture the words and node, including Zoe.

"Okay... okay... uhm..." Rhonda eyeballs the exit. Every few seconds a couple of the garden's visitors walk by, giving her a mini heart attack. Just one peek inside the hedge maze and it's game over...

"Ms. A?" Zoe whimpers. "How are we gonna get out of here without anyone seeing?"

"Shh... I'm thinking..." The lioness scratches her chin, her tail wafting about in thought. "Just... just follow me and stay low."

The cubs do as instructed and form a single file line behind the caretaker. They get on all fours, getting a rather intimate view of each other's privates. While still not entirely comfortable in their birthday suits, they manage to be a bit mature about this. Well, besides Louis...

The starry eyed raccoon is within licking distance of Rhonda's thick butt. He has no idea why he has the urge to bury his tongue deep inside her lady parts, but the feeling is overwhelming. Her scent is also very alluring, consisting or her natural musk and her strawberry vanilla body wash. A bit of drool runs down his wide open mouth...

Lisa and Zoe are more focused on getting out of here in one piece. Lisa has seen her brother naked enough times during their bathtime, so this isn't anything new to her. Zoe is too busy running worst case scenarios in her mind to actually care about seeing the wagging butts in front of her.

Timmy, like Louis, is enjoying the view. Zoe's hypnotizing tail movement, her modest butt, that mysterious pink slit... he has no idea why this arouses him so. Still, it looks like his pecker has come out to see what all the fuss is about.

"Guys, stop!" Rhonda whispers as she spots a wolf lady and a puppy boy strolling by.

The conga line comes to an abrupt halt. Everyone but the distracted Timmy, that is. He gets a face full of Zoe's butt, the soft cheeks acting as a cushion. He lays between the fleshy pillows for a hot second before realizing his lewd action.

"AH! I'm... I'm so s-sorry!"

"Whoa...!" Zoe turns around, avoiding eye contact with the blushing boy. "It's... it's f-fine..."

"Guys, focus!" Rhonda clenches her teeth as she watches the two walk by. "Wait for it... wait for it... okay... GO!"

Her and her squad skedaddle towards the maze's entrance. They hug the hedge and peek into the gardens. It couldn't be more populated. There's even lines to view some of the exhibits...

"Ooh, boy..." Louis gets dizzy just trying to count the amount of visitors. "There's no way! We're gonna get spotted!"

"I know... I know..." the contemplating lioness whispers back. "Okay. I have an idea. Can you guys see the parking lot from here?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Okay... we're just gonna run like we're on fire until we get to my van. If anyone tries to stop you or talk to you don't say a SINGLE word!"

"Well... maybe they'll understand?" Zoe scratches the back of her head. "Maybe... this has happened before?"

"For some reason I don't think anyone will believe us..." Zoe pets the naive cub on the head. "Keep quiet and you'll be fine, okay?"

"Okay..." Timmy taps his fingertips together. "I'm ready..."

"Right..." Rhonda wipes the sweat of her forehead... and her cheek... and her neck. She's displacing it rather than removing it at this point. "Here we go... three... two... one... RU-"

"HEY!" Two bear security guards call out as they park their bikes at the entrance. "We've been been getting reports about... strange things happening in the... uh. Why are you all naked?"

"Please! I can explain!" Rhonda gets on her knees with clasped paws. "It's not what it looks like!"

"What's in the world is going on here?" The other bear asks the cubs.

"Ms. A told us if we keep quiet, we'll be fine!" Lisa responds with a cheery smile.

"EH!?" The first bear reaches for his pepper spray. "IS THAT SO?"

"We're gonna need some backup," his partner says into his radio, "we got a weirdo in the hedge maze! I repeat! A WEIRDO IN THE HEDGE-"

"Uh... huh.... Uuhhh..." With her willpower completely depleted Rhonda faceplants onto the cold grassy floor and faints.

...

"AAAAHHH! I'M TOO YOUNG TO GO TO JAIL! I'M ONLY... h-huh!?" The lioness awakens with a shriek. She's at home in the comfort of her own sheets. It's still pitch black outside.

"What... the...?" She frantically checks under her sheets. A silky pink sleeping gown and comfortable purple panties, her regular sleeping attire. "Oh my GOODNESS! It was all a dream! Wow... wow! It was so... so real! HOOOH! What a relief..." she grabs her phone to check the time. It reads '3:13AM'. There's also a reminder bubble at the top of her screen...

'FIELD TRIP TO THE BOTANICAL GARDENS TODAY @ 8AM.'

"Ahahah... hah...?"

*GULP*
