They lost sight of the Phantoms as they
crossed the bridge and as they walked beside the river they felt a sudden
chill. "It's happening, it's happening!" screeched Ghost Bunny.
"What's happening?" shivered the Wabbit. Ghost Bunny shivered too.
"This is how they do it," she moaned. Now the Wabbit was very cold
and he grunted again. "Spit it out, Ghost Bunny!" Ghost Bunny wailed
frantically. "They're looking for energy and when they find it, they'll
take it." The Wabbit clapped his paws for heat and grunted again.
"Then they convert it and their planet glows blue." continued Ghost
Bunny. "I wish you'd tell us the whole story, Ghost Bunny," said Lapinette.
"I feel rather in the dark." "The Phantoms worship their sun and
continually feed it," sighed Ghost Bunny. "They rampage their
constellation for loot." "We're too far away for that," scoffed
the Wabbit. "Well, they must be desperate," replied Ghost Bunny and
she haunted up and down for some time. "What are they looking for
exactly?" asked the Wabbit. "Primeval atoms," said Ghost Bunny.
"But they don't really exist, do they?" said Lapinette. "Oh
they do, they do!" moaned Ghost Bunny. "Then what do they look
like?" asked the Wabbit, stamping his feet. "They're about the size
of a ..." Ghost Bunny thought for a second. "Tangerine?"
suggested Lapinette.
