A chilly breeze rocked my hammock…wait chilly? That can't be right. "MAY!" April shouted and pushed down on my hammock forcing me to do a face plant into the dirt below. I wondered if North could give me a new best friend for Christmas, maybe one that actually listened. One that didn't wake her friend up from her slumber and made her face plant into the dirt. Yep made up my mind for Christmas.
"I'm going to kill you one of these days." I informed her. "It's going to be slow and painful."
April completely ignored what I said and moved on. "So I showed Jack that egg I found and…he think the initials are E.A.B. + M. S. see!" She held the egg out to me. The poor thing look scared as can be. Those eggs were never to leave the Warren except either with Bunnymund or on Easter.
"APRIL, you know those are not to leave the Warren!" I snatched the egg from her and held it to my chest. The poor thing was trembling with fear. I would too if I was eggnapped by either of those too. Though I had a feeling that I may know the feeling someday.
"Sorry I forgot. You're going back to plant more egg-flowers anyway right?"
"Well yeah, but…"
"Great you can return it!"
"You should return it!"
"Yeah…Jack and I are going ice skating. We are going to make this rink and well you can join us if you want."
"No thanks. I have to return this egg." I said in the 'you-should-be-doing-this-while-I-have-fun-tone.
"Thanks, May." She turned to Jack. "Let's go!"
My palm hit my face. "I really need new friends…"I muttered. "I wonder if Tooth…never mind."
I wasn't quite ready to go to the Warren. I still had to find where I put those egg-flowers. Mother also wanted him to get some new paint-flowers too. I don't quite remember where I had put them. I had fun with the egg following me around. It was cute to see it walking through the field careful of the flowers but sometimes it'd run into the field to see a flower that has never been in the Warren. It was almost like taking care of a child.
"Found them!" I shouted. The heart egg rushed towards me the flowers were bumped out of place here and there. I could see it would stop to make sure the flower would stop moving before continuing. "Alright little guy. You see any flowers you want in the Warren? I'm sure Bunnymund and you eggs could use a change of scenery."
The egg jumped in excitement and starting going through my field again, it ended up at some deep blue Forget-Me-Nots. I loved Forget-Me-Nots, not just because of their name but because they meant…remembrance… they had another meaning…what was it again?
"True love." Mother reminded me. Right, but mostly known for remembrance. How could I be so silly?
"Any others?" Heart egg moved not along ways away at some China Pink. It was a strange batch I had it was light pink on the outside and a very deep pink almost purple color towards the center. "Another lovely flower."
"That means my heart aches."
"You really want to go home, huh?" Of course the egg couldn't say anything. "Alright then lets go."
I made sure I had seeds from the two flowers heart-egg picked out, along with a bit of the actual plant in my bag. The egg flowers and paint flowers I'd transport them to the Warrant when Bunnymund told me where he wanted them.
"You ready little guy?" I put my hand next to it and the heart-egg climbed aboard. I snuggled it next to me. "Hold on."
Something seemed off at the Warren. Everything seemed like it was looking for something. The statues were even up and about and normally they just sat there. "W'ere is it? W'ere ya go?"
"Where'd what go?" I asked seeing Bunnymund hop right in front of me. He stopped mid-air, I didn't even know that was possible.
" 'im!" He pointed to the little egg snuggle close to me.
"Oh, heart-egg? April eggnapped him." He grumbled something I couldn't understand. "I brought some new flowers. "Heart-egg suggested Forget-Me-Nots and China Pink. So I brought you some. And just tell me where you'd like you're new paint and egg flowers. I'll transfer them when you…"
I had a feeling he hadn't heard a word I said. He was staring at the heart-egg. Almost like he wanted to murder the tiny little thing. I looked at heart-egg and set the small thing down. Heart-egg ran towards the nearest hole.
"I'll get ya later." Bunnymund mumbled after it. Glaring now where the egg had disappeared.
"Did you hear a thing I said?"
" Course I did!" He walked past me to his 'bunny-trail' where all the eggs go down to be painted. Of course he didn't know the rest of us called it that. "Put 'em next ta the others."
"Alright." The flowers quickly appeared right next to the others. "What about the flowers heart-egg picked out."
"I'll plant 'em later."
"Just go with it, May." Mother told me. I took the seeds out of the bag along with the mature flowers. Bunnymund kept walking. "Follow him!"
"Where are we going?"
"Ya'll see."
We started to go through one of his tunnels. I don't know if it was just me, but his egg statues, I could've sworn were looking at us and turning to their smiley faces. He got on all fours and started hopping from side to side. It would be impossible for me to follow in human form.
'Change. Then May. You know you want to chase that man! You want to chase your man.' My thoughts screamed at me.
"Ya comin'!" His voice shouted not far away. I changed in a heartbeat and started to hop after him. This was the most fun I had in my pooka like form ever. I truly felt like I had a long time ago with my master.
"Hurry up slow poke!" I shouted once I hopped over his head. "You're the slowest bunny round here." I heard him take off after me. I hoped that this tunnel just lead to our destination otherwise I'd surely end up lost. I turned my head and he was right behind me. I had to beat him. It was all part of pride.
I could see the end of the tunnel, but when I looked back again Bunnymund was gone. I turned forward and there he was laughing. He'd won. Oh we were going to have a rematch. No one beats me and gets away with it. He stopped and I noticed where we were. It was the spot where I first met him. The under ground field and pond. I was shocked I thought it'd been destroyed when Pitch tried to…
"It's beautiful, but I thought…" I couldn't finish my sentence. I was just in disbelief. Did he really dig this entire thing out and replant all the flowers? My brain wasn't in control of my body it really wasn't. My heart somehow seized everything it started as a hug, but I kissed him. I kissed E. Aster Bunnymund right on the lips.
A/N: Oh my goodness. I wasn't even expecting that but May took over my keyboard. She wanted this to happen. I don't know what's going to happen next. Review like always and I'm looking forward to the next chapter just as much as you are.
