From the very beginning, it was apparent that the kids would not allow the silly rabbit to eat Trix. Even though his likeness appears on the box, the children would not allow him to eat it even after forty years of chasing after his beloved cereal. One day, the "silly rabbit" vowed that it was all going to change. He decided that, in order to get the Trix he so desperately desired, he needed to fool the kids into giving him some by wearing a disguise. He figured that if he could con them into giving him some Trix then his obsession with the cereal would subside. Hopefully, the troubled rabbit would no longer have to visit a therapist on a weekly basis just to keep his sanity.

 

The next day, the silly rabbit took a silly shopping trip to Eastview Mall so he could find a good costume to disguise himself.  He headed to the Halloween costume shop and began trying on clothes. Unfortunately, most of the clothes were either too revealing or too scary. For his disguise, he needed to find a happy medium - somewhere between the Sexy Nurse and the Grim Reeper. So he chose a sparkly Hannah Montanta costume and picked up a long blonde wig to cover his bunny ears. With his disguise in tact, he was ready to carry out his trickery.

 

Immediately after leaving the store, approximately twenty or thirty young, screaming kids violated his personal space. Children were forcefully grabbing their parents hands to go see the supposive celebrity outside of the halloween shop. Shouts of "HANNAH MONTANA" echoed through the mall. What had this bunny got himself into? He wanted to rip the costume off, but the growling of his stomach reminded him of the original intention. He began to think of the best way to handle the situation. In as feminine a voice as he could muster, he grabbed the children's attention with a proposal. The first person to bring him back as many boxes of Trix Cereal as possible would win backstage passes to "his" next concert in town. In the blink of an eye, the nearest grocery store was raided for Trix Cereal. It was pure chaos as kids had cereal boxes stacked in their hands higher than they could see. At last, the silly rabbit was drooling over the hundreds of cardboard boxes filled with delicious, fruity Trix in front of him. As his crazed obsession with the cereal was about to be quelled thanks to his new "identity," he realized that not only did he not have a bowl or spoon, he did not have milk, either. As these thoughts danced through his head, he had a sudden flash back to his early childhood when his mother repeatedly scolded him for eating cereal with his hands straight from the box.

 

His mind began to race as the kids clamored for him to cough up the backstage passes that he had promised them in exchange for the Trix cereal. He came up with a purely ingenius plan. He decided that if he were somehow able to put on his own concert and charge an admissions fee for it as well, he would make more than enough money to buy a lifetime supply of cereal, milk, bowls and spoons. He bargained with the children telling them he did not have enough passes on him to hand out to everyone. His soft heart wanted to be fair to all his fans so that no one felt left out. Luckily, the children soaked up anything he said since he was dressed as Hannah Montana. His original dilemma of not having any cereal has ballooned into one of the biggest hoaxes in modern history. He had no idea how he was gonna pull of this off. However he knew that he had to think fast, otherwise all his precious cereal would get taken away from him.

 

Knowing the Silly Rabbit had to preform live, his racing thoughts led him to the nearest guitar store, where they would surely have a microphone, speakers, and willing musicians ready for a Hannah Montana jam session. The crowd of screaming pre-teens followed him to the store, chanting "Hannah, Hannah" down the walkway passed Sephora and Gap. Upon entering the store, he ran into the Jonas Brothers who just happened to be picking out some new equipment. Still pretending to be Hannah, SIlly Rabbit talked them into playing a mini concert for the group of screaming fans. He didn't dare to mention anything about the Trix.

 

Because the Jonas Brothers are ready and willing to play anywhere for anyone, the four performers, instruments in hand, headed to the largest foyer located at the entrance of the mall. Everything fell into place perfectly. The children relocated with their hundreds of boxes of cereal to the crowded, temporary concert area. The manager of the Jonas Brothers knew what to do as he began to collect money from the impatient kids dying to see this unexpected show. The silly rabbit could not believe his scheme was actually going to work! He didn't know he had such a performer inside of him. He almost forgot about the Trix cereal he so desperately wanted in the first place. As the show slowly came to an end, the money was allocated. He realized that he now had plenty of money to shop for the utensils and milk he needed to successfully eat his cereal.

 

There was one thing left standing in his way: AUTOGRAPHS! Who doesn't sign autographs and take pictures with their fans? The nearest table was set up for the celebrities and the silly rabbit began signing Hannah Montana on anything and everything shoved in his face. One mother had an anxious eight year old with a baby on her hip. The infant, kicking and screaming, not wanting to be in the picture, was thrown into the bunny's arms to speed up the process. The volunteer photographer counted "One.. Two.." Oh no!! The baby had ripped off Hannah Montana's beautiful, blonde wig! The Silly Rabbit was revealed to the silent crowd as you could hear a pin drop. His plan ended in a disaster and all he wanted was a bowl of Trix. Once everyone realized it wasn't Hannah Montana, but a disguise, every single kid in the mall screamed in unison, "Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids!!"

752 words. My idea is for the real Hannah Montana to show up and then a fight breaks out and Silly Rabbit gets sent to jail overnight. When he wakes up in the jail for breakfast, they bring him a bowl of Trix. Any takers?

I'm not sure... because isn't the rabbit never supposed to get the trix? I think it should leave the reader off with him getting caught like in the commercial, and back to thinking of another way to get the cereal.

Okay so I'm at work, and threw that together really quick. It's over 1000 words but needs serious editing. If you don't like the concept or idea, feel free to change. I will look it over again before it's due.

I made some adjustments, but if anyone else has anything else they want to add or tweak before this gets turned in by all means go ahead... checking for grammar and spelling might not be a bad idea because this doesnt have spell check on it.

Good job! I looked through it for grammar edits. I really like the ending and how it came full circle. Yay!
