Baby animals
"Cheep, Cheep."
Jack was brought to a halt by the sound that greeted him when he had entered the warren that morning. It was a few weeks till Easter and he thought he'd come to help with the final preparations. He had expected to hear Bunny's irritated Aussie infused voice or even the sound of eggs dropping into the dye streams; he hadn't been expecting… well whatever that sound was.
"Cheep, Cheep."
Curious as always, Jack floated further into the warren trying to locate the source of the sound.
"Cheep, Cheep." Jack cocked his head to the side. Sounded like it was coming from the storage shed nearest Bunny's burrow.
"Cheep, Cheep." Jack flew in that direction cautiously. Whatever it was that was making that sound there were a few of them.
"Cheep, Cheep."
"All right, all right, jus calm down ya'll get yare share. Jus settle down." Jack recognized Bunny's Aussie accented voice immediately. He flew up to the shed a little faster now that he heard a familiar voice.
Peaking around the corner quietly he was met with a curious yet also amusing site. There, right behind the shed, sat the Easter Bunny feeding something to about 4 round fluffy yellow things.
"Cheep, cheep." Came the calls of the 4 excited fluff balls as they jumped up and down while trying to catch the food that Bunny was tossing them.
"Now now, there's plenty for all of ya." Chuckled Bunny as he continued to toss the food to the little creatures.
"What are those things?" Jack asked out loud. He forgot that he was hiding in his curiosity.
Jack turned sheepish as he watched Bunny jump in surprise, causing him to drop the bag of food he was holding. The excited creatures jumped at the chance and started tackling the bag for the food. Bunny turned to see the sheepish Jack coming out from behind the shed. Bunny raised an eye brow after his initial surprise.
"Wha? Ya neva seen chicks before?" Asked Bunny looking rather surprised when Jack shook his head no.
Bunny motioned for him to come closer. Jack obliged and floated over just behind the Easter spirits shoulder as he watched the chicks wearily yet with open curiosity. Bunny chuckled.
"They ain't gonna bite ya Frostbite; Ya don't have ta hide from um." Bunny laughed as Jack's cheeks turned purplelish blue with a blush of embarrassment. Slowly he came out from behind Bunny to inspect them more closely. The chicks on their part ignored the new comer to focused on the food in front of them.
They were little fluffy yellow fluff balls just as Jack had thought. They had tinny little orange beaks and even tinnier yellow clawed feet. They had what looked like wings but Jack wasn't sure.
"What's a chick?" he asked innocently; never taking his eyes off of the little yellow creatures.
Bunny stared at Jack in disbelief.
"They'er baby chicken mate. Ya seriously neva seen one before? Bunny asked. Jack shook his head again in amazement.
"I've never seen a baby animal before except for dogs or cats. Do all baby animals look different from their parents? Jack asked; a look of wonder on his face along with the beginnings of a large smile.
Bunny couldn't help but smile as well. He had found the chicks wondering around his warren a little while before Jack showed up. No idea how they had managed to find their way down here alone and not sure where they had come from; Bunny had decided to take care of them. Looked like he'd get to teach the youngest guardian a thing or two about spring and baby animals as well.
Bunny smiled bigger at the idea before going head long into his explanation. Never before had he ever seen Jack as fascinated as he had at that moment.
He didn't know where the little chicks had come from but he was sure glad that they had shown up none the less.
