Chapter Text
“Veronica, you didn’t say it was going to be a bikini!” Betty whines, standing behind the curtains of a stage and shaking the bunny-girl costume she had agreed to wear while being auctioned off, which is about to happen in just a few short minutes.
“But, Betty, what did you expect?” Veronica replies with a small frown, hands on her hips.
"I thought it was going to be a bodysuit and have leggings.”
“I think you're confusing fishnets - but, no. This is it; a bikini bunny. Ooh! You’ll be Bikini Bunny-Girl Betty,” Veronica giggles to herself and Betty groans.
“Ok but why are there cowgirl boots then?? It doesn’t make any sense!”
Veronica gives Betty a dismissive wave. “You’re from a bunny ranch! Or…something. Look - no one’s going to care too much once you step out there because you’re gonna be looking super hot instead. Now, c’mon, no time to complain! You’re up next after Tabitha so hurry up and go change so I can announce you to the crowd and hopefully we can get some more money raised.”
“Urgggh,” Betty groans a second time but reluctantly scampers off, heading for a small changing tent nearby.

“And now, gentlemen, I’d like to introduce our next lovely, costumed lady that you could win a date with - but only if you’re the highest bidder, of course!” Veronica smiles into her mic, gazing out into the crowd. “She’s a sweet, but shy little thing who works allllll day long on her ranch, so she could really use a day off to relax, kick off her cowgirl boots and be pampered, y’all,” she winks at the hint.
“I am going to kill Veronica,” Betty mumbles as her cheeks go red and she buries her face in her hands, trying to block out the excited ooo’s and whistling coming from the crowd on the other side of the curtains.
“The guys like hearing a little story to guess who or what you’re dressed as,” Tabitha shrugs with a smile. “It gets them more excited and gives us a better chance of having them break out their wallets.”
“Easy for you to say,” Betty grimaces, lowering her hands from her hot face to hug herself from how naked she feels. “Mention a magic mirror and a cursed apple and everyone knows it’s Snow White, which isn’t embarrassing at all. Plus, yours is a full gown! What the hell!” She huffs and Tabitha gives Betty another sympathetic smile when Veronica’s voice suddenly booms through the speakers again.
“But this one is no ordinary ranch girl, fellas, oh no, no, no. It gets hot out there on the fields, so she’s not wearing much to avoid getting any heat stroke, and she isn’t farming for milk because her fluffy white tail and long fuzzy ears are already white enough, you see. It’s not dairy that she’s interested in, nope - what she really likes, more than anything is a BIG, fat, hard and juuuicy carrot!” Veronica smirks, earning more cheers and excited whistling.
“I am seriously going to kill her!” Betty hisses, cheeks bright red. “How does she expect me to walk out there after saying something like that!?”
“Aw, please don’t give up now, Betty! That’s the most excited we’ve heard from the crowd all day!” Tabitha pleads. “Would it help if I told you that there’s a lot of cute guys out there? And anyways, you get to decide where to have the date, remember? You could have it right here; at Pickins Park and that way, nothing shady can happen.”
“I don’t know if I want to keep staying here with whoever wins, once the auction is over,” Betty murmurs, shaking her head, feeling the bunny ears wiggle slightly. She then she sighs deeply. “But…I did agree to help you guys out so, I’ll still go through with it BUT I am going to chew Veronica out afterwards.”
“Fine by me!” Tabitha grins, finding a flushed, angry Betty with floppy ears anything but threatening.
“Ok, good.” Betty nods, bunny ears wiggling again, then straightens up when Veronica speaks up once more.
“- And so, gentlemen, let’s welcome our very own….Bikini Bunny-Girl Betty!”
