ANYWAY GUYS, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT , as I really want to know, what you think of the story.
Bunnies, definitely make adorable mascots."YOU WANT TO DO WHAT?!" barked Bismuth confused as the little Pink bunny stood besides her. the group was curled up beneath the bridge as Pink had decided to tell the canine lady about their plan. "Look it's the best way to get them to know us." She insisted as Peridot nodded. "The bunny is right, humans love Easer, imagine their excitement when the folktale about the easter bunny comes true." She said. The Pitbul lady looked down for a moment as she glanced up and down at the group. "fine...but only because I don't want something to happen to you...you have good intentions." She said.
"Oh perfect!, Peridot will also come along." Pink said hopping up excited. "I am?!" Peridot asked. "Well yea you have been living among humans so we need the intel." Pearl said as if it was obvious. "I am already settled with everything I need, why I would go for so much trouble?" Peridot asked raising an eyebrow. "Oh come on be a sport!, plus don't you want humans to love you?" Asked Amethyst. "They already do that, thank you." Peridot said looking away. "Well but this could be your chance!, you complained about cats not been a part of easter!, now you get to participate!" Garnet said. "Uhmm ok, I am in." Peridot said.
"BUT!, if we do this, we will do it fine, if we mess up it could reflect bad on me, so follow me." Peridot said. The group followed her back to the fountain, where Peridot climbed up to the edge. "Look down." She instructed. At the bottom of the pool, laid several golden shiny round items. They were scattered in big numbers. "We need these." Peridot instructed pointing with her paw. "S-so pretty...they would look adorable in a nest." Pearl said wide eyed. "They are so round, are they corn grains?" Asked Garnet. "No, they are too big, maybe they are dry fruits!, like peanuts!" Amethyst purred swishing her tail excited. "No those are dollar coins, a form of human currency". Peridot pointed out
"Dollars?, aww I wanted a peanut." Pouted Amethyst. "Dollars can buy you many peanuts." Peridot said. "Explain how." "Money is exchanged for goods and services". Peridot stated.
"Ok then we get those and exchange them for eggs" Pink said. "Lets get this over with" garnet said. Immediately Bismuth, Garnet and Amethyst jumped into the fountain. They would come out and spit the coins at the floor while Pink and Pearl helped wrapping the coins in big plant leaves for safe keeping. "Ok these should be enough." Peridot said. The whole group then followed the beige path that lead to a massive gate. At each side, a huge wall stood, making it impossible to see the outside. they went through the bars of the gate. Bismuth had a few troubles getting through and had to be pushed from behind. Once she made it outside, she gasped.
Humans settling in was an understanding. In front of the group, what was before a bast rural area with a few houses and dirt roads, was now a full community. Houses and tower like structures stood everywhere in front of them. Furthermore the dirt was replaced by another solid, unknown material that humans used to walked over. More so the once green area, was now reduced to one solitary tree surrounded by black bars, every few yards. Even the once beige paths from the park were now solid grey rivers, over the which strange colorful large bodies on wheels traveled. Some of them having windows, that allowed to see humans inside.
"This place it's...kind of unsettling." Pearl said and Peridot rolled her eyes "Oh it's just until you get used to it." She said and walked towards the grey river. The group followed while observing their surroundings. The grey surface felt even harder and raspier on Pinks furry paws. While they walked they shuddered at the massive square constructions. They reached out i the sky, blocked the sun and towered over their frames. The people would stare at them and even whisper to themselves. Many would coo and keep on their way. Eventually they made it to a monumental square like construction. It was in front of the grey road and hundreds of those wheeled human transports were settled in front. At the center the infamous Diamond logo was visible.
"Ok this is the market, just follow me and do what I do." Peridot instructed as they entered the market. It was completely white with dozens of halls surrounded by shelves with all kinds of objects inside. Drawings of bunnies and eggs could be seen everywhere and humans waltzed around with the strangest biggest wheelbarrows they had seen. Peridot grabbed a basket and dragged it along. Eventually they found a shelf full of easter eggs and bunnies. "Wow so many bunnies in here...I feel flattered." Pink said as they pushed at least three dozens in the basket. Eventually they pushed it it to a line of people and again the whispering and glancing returned. Once it was time to pay, a woman in a yellow uniform had to help them set all the stuff up.
"Wow this is one easter shop, you guys planing a party or something?" she asked as she scanned the items. "Oh that will be $300" she added and they gasped. "300?!, we don't have that much!" Peridot exclaimed. "Well you are taking like fifty something things girl and it's near Easter" lady said raising an eyebrow. "Oh no, how are we supposed to get and deliver the eggs to people in time for the Parks easter event?" Asked Pink disappointed. The woman raised an eyebrow "Wait a second, Easter event?" She asked. "Yea, our friend here will be your easter bunny for the diamond plaza this easter. We thought an actual bunny would be better." Garnet said.
"OH MY STARS!, that's like the cutest idea ever!" the woman exclaimed excited. "Honestly these guys think of everything!, I can't believe you are doing this job!" She said. "I just wanted to participate in your human traditions since you guys have been moving so near us lately and...well I thought it would be a good way to get to know each other and be neighborly." Pink said. "Awww you are so sweet!, Kiki!, come see this!" the woman said. Immediately another woman came. "what is it Jenny?" She asked. "Kiki look!, the park will have a real bunny girl playing as the easter bunny!" She said and Kiki cooed.
"Aww are you here to get the eggs yourself?" Kiki asked "Well yea but...I don't have enough." Pink admitted "What? what are you talking about girl, you are the easter bunny, it's all taken care of, we will get the money later." Kiki said and placed everything in bags. "Hey are you sure you are only taking these?, I am pretty sure we have more eggs on the back for you, if this is for the event." Kiki said. "We can't really carry more." Said Pearl. "Maybe we can come later. Said Bismuth. "Got it, we will have the rest ready." Kiki said. The group thanked them and left the market, dragging the bags with their purchase inside.
"See? humans are so nice!, they gave you the eggs!, I knew they would warm up to easter." Peridot said proudly and the group nodded. "They were really nice," Said Pink. As they walked down the grey path again. The bunny had to take a break, her paws were aching and she was sure she would get a sore hook at that rate. "Don't stay behind Pink...Pink?...PINK!" Bismuth yelled when suddenly a screeching sound was heard. Pink turned to see a massive wheeled body speeding towards her. Pink curled up scared when the body suddenly stopped and loud honking sounds followed.
"OH MY GOODNESS!" A female yelled as she stepped out of the car and rushed to pink. She had long black hair and tanned skin and brown eyes. "Are you ok?!, are you hurt?" She asked as she kneeled down in front of Pink. The group immediately rushed towards her and began sniffing her. "I..I think..." Pink mumbled when suddenly another female got out. She was probably her cub as they looked alike, only she was shorter and had shorter hair.
"Mom what happened?!" She asked as she stepped up front. "I am sorry Connie but I think we hit a bunny-eh..person?" The woman said and Connie was quick to pick Pink up. Garnet and bismuths furs rosed up as they growled at the stranger. "You poor thing...did we hurt you?" She asked checking on her. "I am fine, I am fine, I am just a bit shocked that's all." Pink said. "Connie don't pick her up like that!, she could have something!" The woman said. "But mom she could be hurt and it's our fault." Connie said and the female sighed. "Alright you are right, Are you ok miss?, Do you want us to give you a ride somewhere?" She asked.
"Well, we were in a hurry to get back home so we can come and get more eggs...do you think you could give us a lift to the park?" Asked Garnet. "Eh...sure." the lady said and opened the car door. They all sniffed and stared at the curious wheeled mass as they got in. "Well this is comfortable, what did you say this was again?" Asked Amethyst. "A car and I didn't say it previously." the lady said estranged as they drove. Pink told them about the eggs she would deliver and Connie was immediately excited, promising to be there. After a few minutes they arrived at the park. "Alright here it is." The lady said. "Oh thank you very much, make sure to come back later for eggs." Pink said. "Can we mom? please?!" Asked Connie. "Oh alright, we can and...thanks for doing these for the children." She said smiling "That's why we neighbors are for." Pink said hopping out.
The rest of the afternoon was spent dragging the eggs back into Pinks burrow home and preparing little twig baskets to decorate them. Pink made sure to get some ribbons and flowers for decoration and even tied some on the eggs. "Now these look beautiful." Pearl said "Yeap, thanks for helping me out guys, These will look perfect...hey I had an idea what if instead of getting more eggs, we also make some from scratch?, like...to have something homemade for them." Pink said. "That could work, it can't be that hard, lets go the store and ask for ingredients." Peridot said. "But we never made eggs before...not this kind at least." Pearl said. "We never had an easter bunny before, lets give it a try." bismuth said.
The group planned and and organized themselves in the cosy burrow at the meadow, however after their long day of shopping and preparations, something else took place in the city.
In a high room, above the streets, a lady was sitting on a desk. She had short blond hair and lightly tanned skin. She gently tapped the hills of her brown high boots as she checked something on a screen. Suddenly a phone rang on her desk and she picked up.
"What is it Pearl?" She asked in a serious voice. "Delivery?...why are they insisting on using the direct line?...I will take over." She said and soon another call was transferred. "This better be important." She announced and awaited. "How many of them are missing?...Fifty?...Just fifty?...Did you check with the store manager?!...what Mascot? what you yabbering about?!...send me a copy of the security footage and leave it at that, I will deal with this my self." The lady ended the call and then pressed a button on the phone.
"Pearl do make a report on security, I want any possible information about our employees responsible of the easter event project...uhmmm" she listened for a few moments-
"Also I want every piece of information regarding a little Pink bunny maiden." she said.
