So, here we are, with the Easter chapter. Hope you enjoy.
Line break
I groaned as daylight spilled through the curtains. It was Easter Sunday, and I was not looking forward to dealing with Nora today. Ozpin had announced a school wide Easter egg hunt, and the eggs where filled all kinds of chocolate and sweats. I stood up and shambled to the bathroom before it was taken over by the girls, and Ren. I let out a silent chuckle remembering the feud that ensued one day over the bathroom, who knew Ren was so defensive of his hair products…
After washing up I finish getting ready for the day, I strap on my armor, hide all the visible goodies' in the room, and waited. Ren wakes up and moves to the bathroom, silent as a mouse. After he is done he to sits with me, and we wait.
We tense as Nora starts to move in her sleep, an eye opens and darts around the room, looking for the hidden food. She sits up and stretches, before locking eyes with us, her eyes narrowing as we have a stair off.
"Ren, Jaune, where is the chocolate." Ren and I exchange a glance before Ren starts to speak.
"It's hidden Nora; you get pieces it as the day goes on." Her eyes flicker to the safe under my bed before going back to us.
"I need it now Ren, all of it." Her eyes go to the still sleeping Pyrrha." I could wake Pyrrha up, she would help me." Ren and I exchange as feared glance and gulp. We had discovered Pyrrha turned evil when you messes with her chocolate earlier in the year, and it was damn scary. Imagine Nora getting refused her pancakes. We still had bruises sense that day.
"I think we can come to an agreement." Comes my shaky reply. Nora grins triumphantly. I move up from my seat and go to a safe under my bed. I look over my shoulder to ensure she can't see the combination and open the safe. Out comes a large chocolate bunny. I toss it to Nora and she opens it before starting to nibble. I also grab a larger chocolate bunny and set it next to Pyrrha's bed. I share a look with Ren and we back away.
After a few minutes her eyes flutter open and she to sits up and stretches. She looks at us and smiles.
"Good morning Jaune, Ren." She stops as she sees the chocolate bunny beside her." All for me? " I nod; both me and Ren had bought the girls different kinds of chocolate. I had ordered mine from Minstral, while Ren got one from Nora's favorite sweet shop in town. I was still working on getting them to admit there feelings, it was an uphill battle. Ren and I slowly backed away farther, making absolutely no moves to try and take the sweet form her. She rolled her eyes at us, but we were taking no chances.
"You guys won't let that go, will you?" We exchange a glance.
"We still have bruises." She huffed and crossed her arms.
"You deserved it." She had that smirk on her face.
"We took one piece." She shrugged.
"You should know better that to touch a girl chocolate." Nora reached over and fist bumped her. Ren and I waved them off and started out the door.
"Were going to go and claim a table for breakfast. Don't take too long or the egg hunt will be over." They nodded and we started down to the cafeteria. Ren nudged me with his elbow.
"That went well." I chuckled and nodded.
"It could have gone worse, I wonder what team RWBY's room was like this morning, I think I remember Yang got something for Ruby." We both shrug and continue on our way. After getting to the cafeteria we were flagged down by Coco.
"How did this morning go? Pyrrha like her chocolate?" I sat down with a thump and waved off her prodding.
"Yes, it went well." She had that ever present smirk on her face.
"Did she fall into your arms in eternal gratitude?" Velvet started to giggle and quickly put her hands over her mouth in an attempt to stifle it, she was largely unsuccessful. Yatsu was chuckling; Fox was silent, as normal. I was about to retort when RWBY and NP came through the doors. Nora and Pyrrha had slight remnants of there chocolate on their lips, while RWBY was still eating some of theirs. Besides the normal bars and bunnies I noticed that Blake had a chocolate fish, and was nibbling on it contently.
Pyrrha sat down next to me as Nora and Ruby sat whispering together. I gave Pyrrha a napkin and touched the side of my lip. She got the hint and wiped it off, cheeks flushed in mild embarrassment. The moment was shattered when Red and Nora put a large map on the table. The map was of Beacon, and had possible locations of eggs marked of it.
"Ok teams, I announce plan 'get all the chocolate!" Ruby yelled out drastically. Everybody present let out a yell in confirmation to her plan. She pointed to team CFVY. "We will beat the second year in egg collection!" Coco just smirked, before reaching over and pulling me over the table, and onto the floor.
"That means we get Jaune, and I'll have you know that he was the runner up of last year's collection." Ruby narrowed her eyes.
"Those terms are not acceptable, Pyrrha." I had gotten up off the floor only for Pyrrha to pull me back over the table, and onto the floor.
She smirked at Coco. "As Jaune's partner, I think it's up to me to decide who he joins in the egg hunt, and it's our side." I raised a hand.
"Don't I get a say in this?" Yang was laughing and shook her head.
"No Jaune, no you don't." Pyrrha nodded her confirmation and I sat down defeated. Any more talk was broken off when Ozpin's voice sounded from the speakers above.
"Attention students, the egg hunt is about to begin, if you are going to participate, please make your way outside." The battle lines were drawn and both sides headed outside. Soon we were outside, next to the fountain. Ozpin was there, coffee in hand.
"I welcome all of you to Beacons annual Easter egg hunt. May the odd be ever in your favor." As soon as he was done the surrounding people shot off, looking for eggs that were planted by the teachers last night. I to started, but instead of running, I walked. The professors where very good at hiding their eggs, and you had to pay close attention to find them.
I soon started to put the eggs I found in the bags that where passes out among the teams. An hour passes and time was almost up. I passed Nora, who attempted to steal some of my eggs, and Yang, who attempted to wo some away from me, both where amusing, although Yang punched me for lack of reaction. At the end we all gathered back at the fountain and put our finds into large baskets. After all was said and done, Velvet was once again the winner, and I was the runner up. Nobody knew how Velvet always found the most eggs, and nobody asked.
Line break.
I tried for a half-hour to get some kind of ending, and failed. So I cut it off where it was, sorry. Hope you enjoyed your Easter. Austan out.
