It was a very beautiful and lovely spring day in Cartoon Network City that it nearly made everyone happy and cheerful after the long, dull winter had finally ended and the snow had melted while the plants were growing and blossoming after being put to bed for the cold season. It was also Easter morning and nature was in full glow, and in Jellystone Park, there's a lot of activity for the Easter jamboree, marking the start of camping season: the holiday celebration is being planned by Ranger Smith who has big plans for this year's festivities. The humans were excited for it and the animals were too. No one was more excited though than the kids since that meant Easter egg hunts for them along with other goodies and treats. Bubbles was even wearing her Harmony Bunny costume from Halloween and jumped around happily in it to be like a real bunny rabbit.

"Happy Easter!" Dee Dee beamed as she and Ed were dressed up as rabbits as well.

It seemed to be a lot of fun for everyone. Ranger Smith was hard at work with the other park rangers while his niece, the famed Girl Scout Sally, who looked a little sad and left out with the other kids who had friends of their own to hang out with and have fun with, but she didn't have any friends, mostly because she always got the other kids around her in trouble around school.

"So, as Ranger Jackson starts to pass out with the programs in 0800 hours, the last bus should pull into Parking Section G, then at 0900, balloons will drop, and-" Ranger Smith began.

"Ah, what's the big deal, Chief?" The bigger ranger asked.

"Yeah, we've been doing this for years," The older ranger added. "We know the routine."

"The decorations are almost hung and a truckload of candy for the kids will be here any minute." The female ranger smiled.

"And we have the Easter Bunny suit to dress you up in!" Another ranger said, holding out a pink bunny suit with a blue bow-tie.

"Yeah, chief, relax, everything's fine," The first ranger smiled, taking out a bunch of baskets. "Though, it wouldn't kill that niece of yours to smile. I thought kids loved Easter."

"She does, but I don't know what's wrong with her; I'll talk with her later, but right now, this morning's headquarters has informed me that our Easter celebration will be attended by..." Ranger Smith replied until he pulled down a picture of an older man in a park ranger outfit and his hands were bright red. "The Supreme Commissioner."

The other rangers gasped in shock.

"And he's bringing his grandkids, so they can have the time of their lives," Ranger Smith told the other rangers. "I don't need to remind you that the Commissioner got his job by putting out forest fires with his bare hands, and the last state park he didn't like became a trailer park."

The other rangers began to panic.

"Ranger Smith, the candy truck has arrived!" A voice on the radio said.

The other rangers soon ran around to get ready in time.

"Come on, Ranger Mortimer, duty calls!" Ranger Smith said, taking one park ranger with him. "Sally, why don't you go outside and play with some of your friends?"

"I... I don't have any friends, Uncle John." The little girl told her uncle.

"What? Everyone has friends, honey." Ranger Smith replied.

"I don't think they like me..." Sally frowned.

"What would make you say that?" Ranger Smith asked.

"Well... I guess because I always get them in trouble in school... Tell other teachers what's going on... Give them detention slips..." Sally said softly as she sounded bad for what she did to her classmates.

"Well, there's always the Jamboree," Ranger Smith said. "I have to work now, but if you wanna have a friend, you have to be a friend."

"Hmm... Have to be a friend, huh?" Sally replied as she then looked out the window where some citizens were already in the park, she then took a deep breath and an exhale as she went to try it out. "Well... Here goes nothing..." she then told herself as she then went outside to go and try to make some friends.


Ranger Smith and Ranger Mortimer soon went to the van together and opened it up which brought out a great, delicious smell.

"Mm... Chocolate!" Ranger Mortimer smiled.

"All right, Mortimer, this is your post," Ranger Smith told him. "I want you to guard this Easter candy with your life!"

"You can count on me, Boss." Ranger Mortimer smiled, saluting the picture on the van instead of his boss.

"Mortimer? I'm over here." Ranger Smith said, tapping his shoulder.

"Oh... Sorry, sir!" Ranger Mortimer saluted as he turned around.

"Weren't you supposed to get new glasses?" Ranger Smith asked.

"These are my new glasses, sir!" Ranger Mortimer said, showing him.

"Oh." Ranger Smith said.

A horn honked as many school buses were soon coming into Jellystone Park.

"Oh, my gosh, the kids are early!" Ranger Smith gasped. "I've got to see about the refreshments. I'll be back to check on you in a little while."

"Yes, sir!" Ranger Mortimer replied.

"Remember, no one comes near this truck," Ranger Smith reminded. "Especially Yogi!"

"Yes, sir!" Ranger Mortimer saluted.

Ranger Smith soon walked off as Ranger Mortimer marched around the candy van.


The animals of the park seemed to come out once Ranger Smith was gone.

"Easter candy? Yowza! That sounds better than Aunt Slappy's spinach salad!" Skippy smiled.

"I hope they have chocolate egg covered marshmallows!" Hokey added.

"Normally, I have to watch my figure, but since it's Easter, I'll make an exception." Minerva said.

"Anybody see Yogi?" Yoink asked.

"Knowing him, he's around here somewhere." Minerva replied.

Yogi soon popped up from behind his animal friends with a smile, dressed as a log. "Did someone mention my name?"

"Whatcha up to now, Yogi?" Minerva asked.

"I'm heading for that candy van." Yogi smiled.

"But how are you gonna do that if a ranger is guarding it?" Skippy asked.

"Oh, kiddo, I have my ways like your aunt has ways against that Walter Wolf guy, just watch and learn." Yogi smiled as he continued to sneak around.

The other animals looked to each other and continued to watch Yogi as he wandered about.

"When there's candy in the air, you'll find who else? Yogi Bear!" Yogi smiled after he smelled the van and snuck up to it. When he went close up to the van, he then bumped into Ranger Mortimer.

"Oh, excuse me, sir," Ranger Mortimer said. "Is that you, Ranger Smith?"

Yogi looked over and grinned innocently. "Yeah, that's right, uh, Ranger... Mortimer... You're doing a great job, in fact so good, I'm relieving you of your duties so you can join in on the Easter festivities!"

"Wow! I mean, thank you, sir!" Ranger Mortimer smiled and saluted before running off.

The other animals came out to take some candy for themselves.

"Goodbye, Ranger Mortimer, and hello, candy!" Yogi smiled, taking off his log costume. "I'll try one of these, and one of these, ah, one of these, and three of these, and uh-"

"YOGI!" Ranger Smith snapped.

"Uh-oh." Melanie said.

"Busted." Skippy added.

"Happy Easter!" Hard Luck smiled.

"What do you all think you're doing?" Ranger Smith glared to the animals.

"Uh, doing, sir?" Yogi smiled nervously. "We were simply foraging through the woods for sustenance when we happened upon this unattended candy truck, and naturally, we-"

Ranger Mortimer soon came back, glaring at the bear.

"Now listen, Yogi, today is an important day," Ranger Smith warned. "In fact, it's the most important day of my life! My career is riding on this! So I don't want any of you near this truck, this area, or this side of the mountain, ya got that?!"

"Y-Y-Yes, sir!" The animals replied.

"Good!" Ranger Smith said. "Now go to your habitats and stay there until tomorrow morning! And I mean it... The Siberian Circus has been calling, and I have just the bear for them!"

"Uh, yes, sir, Mr. Ranger sir, right away, sir!" Yogi saluted before running off with the other animals.

"And as for you, Ranger Mortimer..." Ranger Smith began.

"Yes, sir!" Ranger Mortimer saluted.

"You keep your eyes on this truck." Ranger Smith told him, walking off.

"Yes, sir!" Ranger Mortimer saluted as he went back to marching.

"So... Now what?" Talia asked the others.

"Fear not, my animal friends, I have a new plan that will be fool proof." Yogi replied.

"Oh, boy... This should be interesting..." Talia commented to herself.

"A disguise, right, Yogi?" Skippy guessed.

"You're right, Skippy old boy," Yogi smiled. "You're smart just like your aunt. Okay, so here's the plan..."

The animals huddled up as Yogi whispered his plans to them.


Sally watched the school buses that came with kids as she looked a bit hopeful to try and be friends with the others.

"Well, guys, I can tell this is gonna be an interesting Easter Jamboree." Mike said as she sat with Lu and Og.

"I hope they have jujubombs." Lu smiled.

"Just as long as you don't go overboard," Mike reminded her. "You remember the last time."

"Yes, you were like the Powerpuff Girls when the Mayor started rewarding them with candy." Og added.

"I can control myself just fine, thank you." Lu rolled her eyes at them.

"Sure, whatever you say, Princess." Mike replied.

"Um, hey, guys...?" Sally piped up.

The others looked over to see Sally.

"Whatcha up to?" Sally asked.

"Why? Are we being too loud?" Eddy rolled his eyes.

"Guys, we better go wait somewhere else so we don't cause a traffic jam for animals in need or something." Mike said to the others.

"Yeah, we don't wanna end up with detention or get scolded." Abby added.

"Aww... And we just set the table!" Dee Dee pouted.

"No, it's not like that!" Sally told them.

"Come on, guys, let's go hang out somewhere else." Otto said as he stood with Maxwell, Og, and Dexter.

"Please!" Sally told them. "Just listen!"

"Come on, guys, let's hear her out." Robin spoke up.

"You got five seconds." Eddy said to Sally.

"Look, I just want-" Sally tried.

"Bzzt!" Eddy then made a buzzer sound. "Your time is up. Thank you for playing."

They soon walked off together while Sally was left alone.

"I just wanna try to be friends with you guys!" Sally told them.

"Why can't ya play with your own friends?" Chicken asked.

"Because I don't have any..." Sally said softly.

"Gee, I wonder why?" Buttercup replied sarcastically. "You're worse than Blossom."

Blossom gave her sister a look and folded her arms.

"What?" Buttercup replied.

"So I wanna try to make friends," Sally said. "If you don't wanna be my friend, then I'll just go. I just wanted to make up for always getting you guys into trouble, but... I was just jealous."

"Jealous of us?" June asked.

"Yeah," Sally frowned. "I mean, all of you guys are a group of friends and you all get to hang out with each other, while I have no one to hang out with."

"Well, what do you want us to do about it?" Chicken asked.

"Chicken, I think she means it," Cow said. "I think she wants to try and be friends like that time the Rookies let me join them and become friends with me once they gave me a chance and I told 'em about Supercow."

"Fat chance!" Buttercup huffed.

"Buttercup, where is your heart?" Bubbles pouted.

"Where is your brain?!" Buttercup glared. "This is Sally we're talking about! She's always snitching on us like that Randall Weems kid in Disneyville!"

"Everyone deserves a chance." Blossom said.

"Yeah, but her?!" Buttercup replied.

"We've never given her a chance to be our friend before," Bubbles said. "Can't you see it in your heart to give her a chance? Everybody deserves a chance, especially when someone wants to try to make new friends."

"Hmph... If she does something she regrets, I'm gonna beat her to a pulp so that way, she will never snitch on us again!" Buttercup glared.

Blossom and Bubbles crossed their arms.

"Wouldn't you?" Buttercup glared.

"I'd just scold her and leave her to her own guilt." Blossom said to her tough sister.

"Me too." Bubbles added.

"Saps! That's what you guys are, a bunch of saps!" Buttercup scoffed. "Fine... I'll give her a chance!"

"You guys really mean it?" Sally asked.

"Yeah, but we got our eyes on you, got it?" Abby warned.

"I got it," Sally smiled. "This is gonna be a lot of fun, just you wait!"

The others grumbled to themselves.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Eddy whispered.

"Oh, come on, you guys," Bubbles smiled. "Making a new friend won't kill us. Who knows? Maybe this'll lead up to a new life for Sally!"

"Yeah, I'll believe that the day Jo stops calling me 'Shrimpy'." Eddy deadpanned.

"Well, if you're all gonna be like that, then I'm going to be Sally's friend!" Bubbles soon glared before flying beside the girl. "Come on, Sally, let's have some fun like new friends should. Come on, Jessie!"

"Coming!" Jessie smiled to her friend.

"Maybe Bubbles does have a point." Mike said to the others.

The others were about to say something.

"If anyone says I'm crazy or wasting my time, why don't you try something new for a change instead of just complaining about it before you even give it a chance?" Mike asked her friends. "If she stabs us in the back, then that'll be her problem, not ours. You could at least try to take a walk on the other side rather than prejudge things before you even try it out on your own. My parents always told me to try new things, I mean, that's how I met Lu and Og. If you don't wanna try to be Sally's friend too, then that's fine by me, but I'm gonna give it a try."

"This is Sally we're talking about..." Buttercup grumbled. "She's snitched on us before..."

"Grr... I hate it when you're right," Eddy soon groaned. "But just don't expect us to be all buddy-buddy with her."

"I wouldn't have it any other way, Eddy." Mike said to him.

"But... But..." Buttercup stammered until she growled. "Fine! I'll try to be friends with her."

"No one's making you." Mike told the tough Powerpuff Girl.

"I'm gonna try," Buttercup said. "Keyword: try."

"That's the spirit, Buttercup!" Bubbles smiled.

"You guys are gonna love the Easter Jamboree," Sally said to them. "It's gonna be fun for everyone, especially the little ones who'll get to meet the Easter Bunny!"

"The Easter Bunny!" Bubbles smiled. "I hope that he'll bring lots of candy!"

A lot of the older ones looked unsure about that, but of course, didn't say anything. Autumn even shook her head to her big sister so she wouldn't say anything she might regret.

"I wonder if he'd like to be my pet?" Bubbles then said.

"No strays, Bubbles, you know what the Professor said." Blossom reminded her sister.

"Aww..." Bubbles pouted.

"You're just like my cousin Lana, Bubbles," Ed smiled. "She always likes to keep stray animals."

"I'm sorry, Bubbles, you can say hi to the Easter Bunny, but you shouldn't keep him," Blossom said. "Besides, think of all the little boys and girls of the world who would miss him."

"Hmm... All right..." Bubbles said. "I hope we get to meet him though. I bet he has a cute little cottontail!"

"Mom is making Dexter wear the bunny suit that Aunt Dextamina got for him." Dee Dee told the others.

"Oh, no, she isn't, because I lost it." Dexter smirked innocently.

"Dexter!" Dee Dee gasped. "How could you?!"

"Do not worry about it," Dexter said. "I plan on studying this Easter Bunny... FOR SCIENCE!"

"This isn't gonna be like the time when you attacked the real Santa Claus because you thought he was Dad, is it?" Dee Dee asked.

"Of course not, my dear, naïve sister." Dexter replied.

"Ooookay, but you better not ruin another holiday for everyone." Dee Dee warned.

"Man, that was a bummer episode." Eddy whispered to Mike.

"Tell me about it," Mike replied. "Not the best way to send the holiday message during The Very Cartoon Cartoon Fridays Holiday Special."

"In July!" Chicken added. "Oh, sorry, force of habit."

"So, what do you guys wanna do first?" Sally asked, smiling to her new friends.

The others just shrugged.

"Uh, you tell us," Mike said. "You know Jellystone Park better than anyone else."

"Well, we could play a game?" Sally suggested.

"I love games!" Dee Dee smiled.

"It'll be a while before we can have candy from the truck." Sally said.

"Candy truck?! Where?!" Eddy asked.

"Uh... Sorry... I'm not supposed to let anyone have some until the big celebration with the Easter Bunny." Sally told them.

"But we're friends, you should let us have some before anyone else." Eddy smirked.

"Eddy..." Mike glared slightly.

"What?" Eddy replied. "I'm still hungry."

"...I guess I could give you a little candy." Sally said.

"No, Sally, you shouldn't have to if you're not allowed," Mike suggested. "If you're not allowed to, we'll understand."

"Oh, no, it's okay, I insist." Sally replied.

"Just a little candy though." Mike said.

"Hmm... That should be fine, as long as too much isn't taken in time for the jamboree." Sally said.

"Chocolate covered marshmallow eggs!" Dee Dee beamed.

"Yummy!" Ed added.

Sally soon walked off to show them the candy truck where her uncle had kept it with Ranger Mortimer.
