YAY~~~ Chapter 10!

I woke up to the sound of knocking on my front door and someone yelling "Auntie Nora"! I lifted my head and looked at my eggs…wait what? I got on my left elbow and rubbed my eyes, I saw three brightly colored eggs. I remember Bunny painting these while I was with him. They were meant for me. I gently picked up a blue one. I treated it as if it was fragile like a piece of glass and gently pressed my lips against it, I imagined that Bunny was holding me and I gently kis-

The door knocked again and I turned my head toward the sound. "Coming!" I yelled. I jumped out of bed, being careful the eggs don't roll off my bed. I ran to the door, not caring how my skirt was sideways or my hair was a mess. I opened the door and I was greeted by a hug around my hips, at first I automatically thought of Tooth but I realized it was a small boy. It was my nephew.

"Michael!"

"Auntie Nora! Happy Birthday!"

I chuckled as I placed my hands on his back; "My birthday was yesterday sweetie."

"I know!"

I looked up from him and saw my sister-in-law, Sarah was around 23 years of age. She was an elementary school teacher, almost all the kids loved her. She had dirty blonde hair and wore a white sun dress while holding Michael's Easter basket, she looked really pretty, compared to what I looked like right now.

"Hey Sarah." I greeted. She smiled and we kissed each other on the cheek and I let them in.

"Someone had a little fun last night." She teased.

"What are you talking about?" I asked back. She ran her fingers through my hair which ended up getting tugged, tilting my head back. "You're hilarious, Sarah." I shook my head, failing to fix it right and straightened out my skirt, as Sarah giggled.

"Auntie Nora, I saved these for you!" My nephew went to his mother to take his basket from her and gave it to me, I kneeled down to his level as he took out some eggs for me, 5 in fact. I recognized them, these were the ones I painted, especially a blue one when Bunny and I had a paint war. Obviously he wouldn't know the difference but I'm glad that he liked them.

"I found these in a flower pot and in a tree. I know you like blue and orange so I wanted to give these to you on your birthday!" He shove them towards me and I took them, I'm so happy Michael thought of me during Easter, if only he knew what happened, that would've been one hell of a bed time story. I wrapped my arm around Michael, giving him the biggest hug I could. He hugged me back, full of love.

"Thank you Michael."

"I love you Auntie Nora."

I smiled; "I love you to"-

"NORA! YOUR ASS IS COOKED!"

I covered Michael's ears as quickly as I could. I hoped he didn't hear that. Good old Tina, when someone needs a moment ruined, she's your girl.

Sarah looked at the door with a smirk. "Who the heck is that?"

"A witch of a bitch." I groaned and looked at Michael when I uncovered his ears. "Michael why don't you go into the living room, your toys from last time is still here. I forgot I had another guest coming."

"Ok!" He ran off into the living room, I swear kids can get distracted too easily. Sarah accompanied me to the door and I opened it. I was immediately glomped by my best friend, but it wasn't just any glomp, I could feel the dark aura around her. I was in deep shit.

When she released me and glared at me, locking her eyes with mine. Her demon came out. "Where were you!? Do you know how worried sick I was! You stood me up at the party! You never answered your cellphone! And you are"-Suddenly she stopped but her eyes never left mine. Her demon side calmed down but her grip did not loosen up. Instead she smiled at me and said; "…You met a guy."

"What?!" I exclaimed.

I heard Sarah gasp; "I knew it! That's why you were messed up this morning."

Tina looked at Sarah, I forgot I never really introduced them. "And who are you?"

"Tina, this is my sister in law, Sarah. Sarah, this is my best friend of a bitch, Tina."

They exchanged their greetings and then got down to business. "Messed up?"

Sarah grinned; "Yeah, her hair was messy and her skirt was kinda loop sided." I couldn't believe that their theories were. I was blushing madly.

"You did IT last night?!" Tina was literally shrieking. Yes I'm a virgin, I never got with a guy before. I mean I dated a couple but I never slept with anybody, I wanted to wait until I was married.

"I didn't do anything last night and let go of me!" I made Tina let go of me. God, I can't believe this! I went to the kitchen with them following me and poured myself some orange juice.

"Yes you did! You are glowing! I know it!" Said Tina.

"Well you need new contacts." I replied and drank some juice.

"Come on, who was he?" Asked Sarah.

I could go on and on about the questions they bombarded me. They wouldn't give up, I just had to tell them.

"Ok! Ok! I met a guy but I didn't do anything with him!" I sighed.

"Eek! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" Tina said excitedly. "Tell us everything!"

Oh ok, I'll tell you everything. He's a 6'1" bunny with blue grey fur with a Australian accent who is accordingly a guardian of our childhood and my nephew and he is the Easter Bunny. Yeah that'll work.

"Um…"I tried to make this up.

"Come on Nora, you've been caught red handed. Spill!" Said Sarah.

"Well…he's Australian." The first thing I could think of, they looked at me with enchanting faces. I did hear Australian guys are hot. "Um…deep accent, 6'1", has really great hair, kinda a blue greyish color, really…really great green eyes, a great artist." I didn't realize I was fantasizing. I was imagining myself with me and Bunny; would we make a good couple? I mean we're both artists, that's one thing.

"And?" Sarah asked.

"We need a name!" Tina said impatiently.

I thought about it for a while, I can't tell them Bunny so I said the first thing that came to my mind. "Aster. His name is E. Aster Bunnymund."

They tried to get more details out of me but I decided to let them hang on it for a while. They were trying to figure it out who it was in the kitchen while I left them and went to my living room. I saw my nephew there, playing with stuffed animal and toy soldiers. I went over to my art table and pulled out a small binder with a green cover on it. I hid it behind my back and went over to my nephew.

"Hey Michael, what are you doing?" I kneeled beside him.

"Playing." He moved a few of his toy soldiers and crashed a giant teddy bear on them, making a crashing sound and people screaming by his voice. I giggled at it.

"I have something for you." He brightened up and abandoned his toys to look at me.

"Really?!"

"Consider it a late Easter present." I pulled out the book and gave it to him. At first he was confused, he didn't like reading that much. He took it from me and opened it, it was filled with pages I drew the day before Easter, of the Guardians I met. He smiled at it. Looking at North, Jack, Sandy, Tooth, Sandy and Bunny, all his favorite hero's in the world. But he softly frowned.

"My daddy says…they aren't real."

Of course my brother would say that! God he's an ass. "Michael, ignore what your father says." I lifted up his chin. "They're real. All of them, even the Easter Bunny."

"How do you know?" He looked at me skeptically. "You're a grown up, you don't believe in them."

"I know I'm a grown up, but I still have a child's heart. There's still some magic in me somewhere…they exist. I even met the Easter Bunny."

"Is that why I didn't see you on Easter?" He asked.

"Yep, I helped him with Easter." I looked at him, hoping he would believe me. He looked at the pages once more. I explained who each of the Guardians were, to help him understand more. He was more intrigue each time I explained how I met them. I knew he would never stopped believing in them, probably when he's my age, he'll still believe.

It wasn't until later Michael had to leave with my sister in law. Tina was surfing on my computer, seeing if she can find my mystery guy. I hugged Sarah, telling her we should plan lunch some day and then hugged my nephew.

He whispered in my ear; "Next time can I meet the Easter Bunny?"

I chuckled and whispered; "I'll see what I can do, but I will tell him you said hi." I felt him grin and let go of me. He left with Sarah and I closed the door, hoping for Easter to come around the corner again.
