Critters Galore! Prompt : Star Friend and Thing

Star Friend went exploring around home late into the night. There wasn’t a real need to sleep often being a bot so they spent most of their time in their gardens searching for critters and spare parts. The gardens were a nice place for Star Friend they were full of peaches and glowing serenity. Star Friend found that organic food (that Star Friend didn’t eat) and bright lights attracted all sorts of night life to their lands. So they set up a polite trap of bright spotlights made from mushrooms (sometimes even actual rare mechanical lights) and peaches. Normally all Star Friend would see is bugs and lizards. The critter they found one night was a small black rabbit moth that Star Friend was eager to befriend. With bribery critters are easy to befriend even if the rabbit moth was super skittish at first. Thing was happy to stay and eat Star Friends crops and sit in the spot lights. The Thing is a horrible cranky critter (as most rabbits are /loving) and is trouble for both Star Friend and other pets. However Thing is very protective of the one that feeds them. Thing can only be approached by Star Friend and sticks close to them. Once Thing is attached there is no way to leave them at home. Now when Star Friend gardens theres a small bunny nearby to nip at his heels or bite his other friends. It’s a wonder to everyone why Star Friend keeps the bunny around but the answer is that Star Friend would love any critter even the mean ones. It’s not like the bites can really hurt Star Friend anyways for he is metal (at least thats what he says to anyone that asks). The new small friend was a rarity in the world this information unknown to Star Friend. Star Friend would only double down on his love if he knew there was a critter alone as him.
