=====Prologue: Happy Anniversary========

It was a sunny morning at the Rabbit residence as it was an important day for Roger and Jessica. It is their wedding anniversary as Jessica thought up something for the rabbit and herself after days of hard work at the cartoon studio. Speaking of them, the lovebirds were in their bed with Jessica cuddling with Roger close to her "bombs" as they slept soundly as morning crept in. It didn't take long for Jessica to wake up first as she opened her emerald eyes and yawned a little. She then gazed at her husband lovingly as the rabbit slept heavily after doing a double filming of shorts with Baby Herman and a solo act for himself. Jessica eyed the calendar on the wall and noticed the anniversary day marked as a reminder.
"Oh my. It's our anniversary today. I need to wake him up and surprise him somehow. Especially to where we're going.", she giggled as she lets him rest and quietly slips out of his grasp and snuck downstairs to the kitchen. She puts on an apron that Roger made for her on her birthday that had rose patterns over it. The ginger took out the pancake mix, eggs and the other breakfast essentials and thought for a moment.
"Hmmm. What flavor should I put on these pancakes? Chocolate chip or blueberry?", she thought to herself before a lightbulb formed over her head. She decided to put both the chocolate chips and blueberries into the mix and started cooking breakfast.

Roger was still asleep in bed snoring still tuckered out from the workload. Coming up the stairs came Jessica as she entered the room to wake him up before putting the plates of breakfast on their nightstands. She then crawled up into bed to wake him up.
"Roger, wake up, Honey Bunny. It's morning.", she cooed in his ear but it only made Roger stir a little. She then tapped him on the shoulder to wake him but to no avail for he was knocked out.
"Hmmmm. There's only one thing to do."
"Mother, five more minutes. I wanna sleep longer.", Roger mumbled in his sleep as Jessica thought for a moment and had a foxy smile on her face. She then got to Roger's face and "attacked" him with kisses. The rabbit stirred and giggled at the sensation that Jessica was giving him with the barrage of kisses.
"Oh, Love Cups. It's not even Saturday yet.", he mumbled goofily half-awake as Jessica giggled before kissing him again as Roger finally woke up from the barrage Of kisses. The rabbit turned to his loving wife as she wore her red sleepwear.
"Mornin', Love Cups. Say, what's cookin'?", Roger wondered as Jessica purred.
"I made us breakfast while you were asleep from your heavy workload last night. Guess what day it is.", she asked as Roger rubbed his head with his ears thinking for a moment.
"Hmmm. Is it Hump Day? No, it's President's Day! Or maybe even National Carrot Cake Day?", Roger guessed only for Jessica to giggle.
"You're so silly. Try again.", Jessica encouraged the lovable rabbit as Roger thought once more. A calendar was on the wall and saw the marked day and put two and two together. He then beamed in excitement as he bounced on the bed.
"Jumpin' Jeepers, Love Cups! It's our anniversary! Happy Anniversary, Jessica.", Roger said hugging his wife.
"Happy Anniversary to you too, Honey Bunny.", she said smooching on the lips of Roger as both locked on for a moment before parting. Roger's stomach grumbled as he chuckled about it.
"Oops. My stomach's talkin'.", Roger sheepishly grinned as Jessica handed him his breakfast before picking hers up. They enjoyed their breakfast as Roger loved his wife's cooking.
"Jeepers, Love Cups. This breakfast is wonderful. I usually put my feet in my cookin' but you definitely put more of your feet in this one.", he said as Jessica giggled knowing what that expression meant after hearing It from Foghorn Leghorn.

""Oh, Honey Bunny. You say the nicest things. There's something I want to show you related to our anniversary.", Jessica told Roger. The rabbit had his ears in a question mark wondering what could it be.
"What could it be, Love Cups?"
"Can't tell you.", she said in a singsong voice as Roger was eager to know.
"Pbbbb-blease, Love Cups. Tell me, pbbb-blease.", he begged as Jessica went to the TV and VCR and giggled.
"You'll find Out soon enough, Honey Bunny.", the ginger purred as she places the tape into the VCR and turned on the television. The couple watched on as the tape played a video brochure.

=====BGM: Wheel Of Fortune Changing Keys Theme- 1983-1989 version=======

The scene showed shots of Las Vegas being the Caesar's Palace, MGM Grand and many of the other venues. The announcer voiced the brochure as it follows.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Jessica Rabbit. You're the lucky sweepstakes winner of the High Rollers Contest. You and a lucky guest are treated to a 5night stay at the MGM Grand with flight and limo accommodations.", the announcer said. Roger's eyes bugged out and was speechless at the video. Jessica giggled and smiled at her husband's reaction of the advertisement.

"Really? Las Vegas?!"

"Yes, indeed. MGM Grand is filled with world-renowned spectacles including state-of-the-art casinos, fine dining, fabulous entertainment courtesy of musicians, comedians and of course, boxing matches. And the good news is that it's all inclusive for your prize.", the video added as Roger had slots for eyes scroll until it landed on 7s. Once it did, Roger danced on the bed as casino sounds rang. Soon, Jessica gently landed him back on the bed continuing the video.
"well known magicians Gottfried and Ike make their return to the MGM Grand with their daring acts of magic.", the video then showed the mentioned magicians in action with their white tigers performing and roaring in front of the crowd. Roger gulped at the tigers with Jessica snuggling beside him keeping the rabbit calm. The video did montages of the restaurants, boxing matches that had Little Mac and King Hippo fighting in the MGM Grand's arena. The video then showed clips of people playing blackjack, slots, poker, craps, roulette and baccarat.
"Oh and enjoy our spa and massage facilities after your high-roller adventures to sooth the body and mind.", the video said as Jessica purred in bliss as did Roger with thought bubbles showing them enjoying the activities mentioned on the video. The video then concluded with the announcer giving one last remark.
"Be sure to claim your getaway before it's gone. Your destiny with Lady Luck awaits.", the man said before the video ended along with the Wheel Of Fortune song as the MGM lion roared scaring the crap out of Roger causing him to scream and hit the ceiling landing on the bed with stars over his head. The VCR automatically rewinds as Jessica smiled at Roger who in turn sheepishly grinned.
"Do you like our trip to Vegas coming up, Honey Bunny?", Jessica cooed as Roger nodded with a smile showing his buckteeth.
"Jumpin' Jeepers, I always wanted to visit Vegas. Where's the tickets?", he wondered as Jessica pulls out the envelope from her drawer and showed Roger the tickets and important documents for their week-long stay in Vegas.
"It's right here, baby. That's your surprise, Honey Bunny. I figured you'd love it."
"I do, Love Cups. I really do! When do we go and get the jackpot! I have my pair of good luck charms ready to go. Just say the word!", the rabbit excitedly chirped pointing to his feet as Jessica giggled putting the tickets away as she rubbed his head gently.
"Easy, tiger. We'll get there in two days. But we do need to get ready for the trip. Oh and Roger.", she said as Roger raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Love Cups?"
"Be careful not to drink any human alcohol. You have a bad reaction to it.", she warned in concern as Roger grinned.
"Pbbbb-blease. I'd learned my lesson. I'll be careful.", Roger assured his wife as she puts her hands on her hips.
"I'll be sure of it that you do. In fact, I'll order the drinks and make sure you don't get the wrong one. I don't want my Honey Bunny to hurt himself.", Jessica firmly but gently told Roger out of concern for his health and safety. Roger grinned and wondered about something.
"What about cigars? Herman gave me a box of them for my birthday.", Roger said as Jessica frowned at Herman and Bugs giving him such a thing.
"I guess so. But please be careful with them. We don't need any news reports of you burning the hotel room down.", Jessica told him worried about Roger accidentally misusing the cigars. After Roger assured her of the matter, the couple decided to watch some films on the Old VCR that Eddie gave them as a Christmas gift to spend the day. Both snuggled with Roger in the same position inching towards Jessica's "bombs". To summarize what they did during the day in a montage, they had a picnic at the park, ate at Tony's Italian restaurant though they recreated that famous kiss from Lady and the Tramp and then made a stroll around the night at the gardens before returning home.

Back at home, Roger and Jessica were in their bed enjoying each other's company as they thought about the trip. Roger turned to his wife with a smile on his face.
"I appreciate our anniversary, Love Cups. What a day it's been. But I'm very excited about the Vegas trip.", Roger confessed.
"Oh, Honey Bunny. I'm glad you love it. I'm as excited about Las Vegas as you do but that day will come. Don't worry too much about it, baby.", the ginger cooed as she kissed the rabbit hungrily as Roger laughed goofily.
"Feeling frisky aren't we, Love Cups?", Roger grinned as Jessica nodded rubbing her face into his cheek indicating his answer. She then purred into his ear tickling him.
"How about we play patty-cake and then we do "some"?", Jessica purred as Roger grinned goofily.
"Oh that's so nice.", he chuckled as Jessica got up for a moment.
"I'll be right back, tiger. I have something to show you.", she huskily told him as she left for the master bathroom leaving Roger wondering what's going to happen next. Whatever it is, he was excited with his mind thinking about the suspense. Soon, he was met with a sultry voice.
"Honey Bunny, I'm back.", Jessica purred as Roger's eyes and ears turned to hearts. In front of him was Jessica in all red lingerie and on her head were cat ears and a fluffy tail attached to the lingerie. Jessica posed riskay for her husband as Roger blushed with his temp meter rising over.
"Meow.", she mewed as Roger's meter broke through as Jessica walked sexily climbing into bed with the rabbit. She rubbed her face into the rabbit's cheek and Kissed him in a slow barrage making the toon rabbits' ears steam and feet thump the air in bliss.
"You like my new costume? I picked it up yesterday.", she purred as Roger loved it.

"Certainly, Love Cups. I gotta say that you look great as a cat. Even better than the one the guy dressed as a bat pals around with.", Roger complimented as Jessica snuggled with him.
"Oh, Honey Bunny. I'm glad you liked it. Let's play your favorite game, shall we?", Jessica offered as Roger nodded. Throughout the night, the lovebirds played patty-cake with their gloves off and the same can be said with their other activity which isn't shown but can be heard outside the door with sound effects of boings and other cartoon sounds masking what they were doing.

At the airport, Roger and Jessica were awaiting their turn to board the plane. Roger was filled with excitement awaiting his wish for Vegas. Their luggage were in the process of loading onto the plane. All that remained is them boarding onto the plane.
"I can't believe this is it, Love Cups. A week in Vegas and It's just the two of us.", the rabbit beamed. Jessica agreed with Roger feeling the same way.
"So do I, Roger. I'm looking forward to this trip. Eddie and Delores told me about the city and it's a good place to enjoy the casinos.", Jessica explained.
"Yep. With my feet in tow, we're in luck for sure. Say, who's going to watch our house while we're gone?", Roger wondered. Jessica assured the rabbit of the important details.
"No worries, Roger. I asked Popeye and Olive Oyl to watch over the house for us. It'll be fine in their hands.", Jessica told the rabbit with the announcement for the flight to Las Vegas will take off shortly after boarding. The couple then had their turn to show their tickets and was cleared to board. They soon boarded the airplane and found a seat in first-class as part of the prize package. It looked like a lounge area for them to hang out In. Joining them were Statler and Waldorf who were grinning at Jessica and the other ladies present.
"Hey, Waldorf! Let's sync up our pacemakers. We got an incoming redhead at 10 o'clock.", Statler told his friend who chuckled.
"I see her. She's with that lucky rabbit.", Waldorf said as Statler agreed.
"You're right about him being lucky. He brings It wherever he goes.", Statler told his frend.
"Where does he keep his streak of Luck anyway for him to land a dame like that?", Waldorf wondered eyeing Roger and Jessica relaxing in comfort sipping on non-alcoholic drinks.
"He's walking on them.", Statler deduced as the old men laughed themselves silly. Roger had a question mark with his ears as he turned to Jessica.
"Those guys are quite the characters, aren't they?", Roger grinned with Jessica shaking her head at the crude old dudes.
"They sure are, Roger. I'm not sure how Kermit and his friends put up with them for so long.", Jessica shrugged. The pilot announced over the intercom for the passengers to turn off their devices except for the pacemakers and put their seatbelts on for the plane to takeoff.
"Well, Love Cups. It's time.", Roger told his wife in excitement. The couple awaited takeoff as the plane taxied the runway before taking off Into the skies. The scene changed into the dusk as the Plane flew over the skyline of Las Vegas.

====BGM: Wheel Of Fortune 1994-1997 full theme=======

The Rabbits were in a limo enjoying the city as toons visiting and humans congregated the strip. Roger saw the Caesar's Palace casino as he marveled the areas.
"Jeepers, it's Just what I've imagined In the movies and on TV!", Roger chirped as Jessica giggled at her husband's excitement.
"Oh,, Honey Bunny. It does look great at night. I can't wait to show you what our room would Look like.", Jessica said rubbing the rabbit's face in bliss. The chauffeur thought to himself how does that toon rabbit land a hottie like Jessica. But he shook It off and drove near the MGM Grand Hotel as the Logo of the roaring lion appeared beside the lettering of the hotel. Fountains and fancy gardens made their presence known as the limo drove to the front of the hotel. Once the limo parked in front, the chauffeur opened the doors to the limo guiding the Rabbits out of the vehicle. The bellhops greeted them as they carried the luggages.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit. Welcome to the MGM Grand. Allow me to take you to check-in.", the bellhop said leading them with their luggage to the lobby desk. The lady at the desk asked for proof of reservation.
"Are you two under the name Jessica Rabbit?", the receptionist politely asked as Jessica nodded. The receptionist looked at Roger and Jessica and thought it was odd to see a rabbit and a woman together but shook It off and logged them into the system. She then handed them their key cards.
"You're both logged in successfully. Enjoy your stay.", the lady politely told the couple as the bellhop from earlier carried their bags to the top floors of the building. The couple was impressed seeing the areas through the windows of the elevators. The elevators opened up to the designated hall and the group stopped at a door with the bellhop using a master key to open up.

The door revealed a beautiful suite as Jessica and Roger gushed at their new home for the week.

"I take it that you both like the master suite. It's one of the coveted rooms our guests love here. Oh and just so you know, you got 24/7 room service free with this suite.", the bellhop said as Roger chimed first.
"I definitely like this p-p-place. A room fit for a king and queen if I say so myself.", the rabbit said as Jessica smiled at the comment. The bellhop agreed as he advised them of how much money is spent and left on their card by checking the hotel TV and that their credits are issued as part of the prize package. Jessica marveled at the skyline view of the Vegas Strip as she turned to the bellhop.
"Thank you very much for helping us Out. And I like the complimentary luxury bath items. They look so divine.", Jessica said as the bellhop agreed.
"I'm glad to hear that, Mrs. Rabbit. Oh and if there's anything you and your husband need, let us know and it's yours.", the bellhop asked as Jessica asked a question.
"Do you serve toon alcohol here?"

"Why yes, ma'am. Toons and Muppets frequent this establishment with the human guests. We have plenty on the tap.", he said as Jessica felt relieved.
"That's good. It's just that my husband is allergic to human alcohol."
"I can handle my liquor. Honest. Pbbbbb-blease.", Roger whined but Jessica ignored his pleas. The bellhop then wished the couple a nice stay before exiting the room. Soon, the couple marveled at the skyline at the window as Roger whistled at it.
"Jeepers, Love Cups. Vegas looks so beautiful from up here. It's like we can take over the world or something.", Roger amazed told his wife.
"It does look beautiful. And I get to spend it with my Honey Bunny.", she said kissing Roger on the lips making the rabbit thump rapidly in bliss. The couple sat On the bed for a moment as they were thinking about what to do.
"Say, Love Cups. What do you want to do tonight?"
"Anything you like, Honey Bunny. Name it and It's yours.", Jessica huskily whispered in his ear. Roger smiled as he saw the Key cards.
"Why don't we explore the grounds of the hotel. Maybe we'll see Leo The Lion.", Roger suggested as Jessica agreed.
"Sure. But I would be careful around Leo even though they'd caged him up.", she warned as Roger chuckled.
"You're tellin' me. He's not like Simba. That's for sure.", he remarked. The couple managed to get ready in about few minutes. The couple went to their door as Roger opened the exit.
"After you, my lady.", Roger said politely as Jessica giggled at his chivalry. She exited the door with Roger going last only for the door to close faster launching him to the other side of the hall hitting the wall. Jessica gasped as she checked on her hubby.
"Honey Bunny, are you Okay?! Speak to me!", Jessica said in worry as Roger blubbered.
"Did somebody get that license plate number?", he goofily said as he brushed it off. Jessica helped him up as the couple held hands towards the elevator getting ready to start their vacation.

=====
A/N: That's the prologue to the first story of Rabbits On Vacay. It's kind of unique I had the Rabbits use a VCR even though people use Blu-rays and other modern devices. Heck the hotel TV gives them the ability to see how much credits they have. As for the Gottfried and Ike bit, they're a parody of the late Siegfried and Roy. May they rest in peace. As for the parody characters, they'll appear in later chapters. Also, I'd included the Wheel Of Fortune themes as it's kind of fitting for this story being that Roger and Jessica try to live the high-rollin' adventure. I had fun writing Jessica's frisky side and when she dressed like a cat. Feel free to review, favorite and follow this story as I write the other chapters for Roger and Jessica's escapades at Las Vegas. As always, LilMancub out and I'll see y'all in the next one.
