To everyone who previously flamed me when I put this chapter up this morning, do not put words in my mouth. To the guest reviewer, I never once said that atheists are terrible people, and that anyone who lives without God has a sad and miserable life, you came to that conclusion on your own.

Everyone out there is allowed to write yoai and lemon fics, which I personally do not approve of, but I have never once flamed them for their beliefs. I expect you to give me the same respect. I have every right to post this chapter, and put it up with my other fics because it is something I hold dear to my heart. And so if you don't like it, take me off your favorites list, and forget about me, I don't care.

Professor-Evans: If you reread that scene, you will see Bunny telling Jack that it had been over three hundred years since he became a spirit, and so since normal humans do not really live that long, Jack naturally assumed that he had outlived his family.

No…I do NOT own ROTG…evil people…

Jack looked around, watching the children running around the yard of an Apostolic Pentecostal church collecting brightly painted eggs, their voices echoing off the walls of the large building shrieking in glee.The pastor of that particular flock stood by, his face alit with a happy glow as he watched over the children, his careful eyes monitoring each one ensuring their safety. Little girls dressed in their Easter best, long hair flowing in the wind, and little boys pulled off their ties, and took off their vests as they raced to find the most eggs. Jack found himself laughing at their antics, settling himself on the roof ledge of the church, his pale feet swinging over the edge as he watched the fun.

"Oi, Snowflake" a voice rumbled behind him "if you even think of making a blizzard, I will personally throw you off this roof…without ya staff."

Jack leaned his head backwards in order to throw a mischievous grin at his friend "Aw Bunny," he whined playfully "not even a tiny one?"

"No."

"Come on, please?" the winter spirit added an endearing pout accompanied by a whimper.

Bunny smirked, but looked away "Nuh-uh"

"Itty bitty" Jack continued to plead holding his index finger and thumb merely a millimeter apart "super tiny!"

"No way, no how," Aster hid his chuckled with a cough "now quit askin' ya dag!"

"Aw!" Jack flopped backwards onto the roof crossing his arms with a pout "you're no fun."

"And yer a troublemaker," the Pooka smirked as he sat down next to the boy "but I don't see you changing anytime soon, so I'm not either."

Jack crossed his eyes and stuck his tongue out at the rabbit, then sat up with a laugh. Both watched the children play a little longer, until suddenly a thought struck Jack. "Hey…" he said quickly "Aren't you gonna play with the kids? I thought you liked finding eggs with your believers?"

"Nah, not this bunch," Bunny chuckled softly "a few of them may believe a little bit, but this bunch, they know the real reason for the season."

"Huh?" Jack wondered "What do you mean the real reason?"

"I mean," the rabbit sighed "that they believe in something more powerful than me, or you, or any of us, including Manny."

"Whoa." Jack breathed "Who? Are they a spirit?"

"Yep," Aster nodded "He's a spirit, and it's none other Jesus Christ, and He's the real meaning behind Easter."

Jack cocked his head, his memories from his humanity were still vague, but that name sounded familiar and important "Why is He the real reason?"

"Let me tell ya a story" the bunny began "One that I was allowed to witness before being chosen to be made the Easter Bunny."

Jack nodded, and turned towards the Pooka, his legs crossed as he listened intently to his friend. Bunny stared off into the distance with sad eyes, and then with a voice thick with the memories of the past, began to tell a story that tore time apart, and changed the lives of millions.

"Once, there was nothing," he began "Earth didn't exist, it was a black void. But God, the very first, and oldest spirit began to move, and He created the Earth, the animals, the sun and the moon, and He even created humans all in a week. Manny still remembers that day when God spoke him into existence. But the awesome thing about God is that while He spoke animals and the Earth into being, He loved humans so much, He created mankind with His own two hands. Magnificent mountains, and beautiful oceans were created by His voice, but humans…they were so special, God got His hands dirty just so that He could bring them into being, they were His masterpiece."

"Wow" Jack smiled.

"Yeah" Aster nodded with a small grin of his own "but the problem with humans, as you have seen, is that they had a propensity for evil because of a sin done in a very special garden long ago. That garden was called Eden, and the first man and woman lived there in peace. Adam, and Eve were their names, and Adam named all of the animals when God created him. God would walk with them in the Garden, and gave them many things, but He also gave them only one rule. They were not to eat from the tree in the middle of the Garden, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. As He said, that they day they would eat of it, they would surely die. Adam and Eve knew this, but they did not expect that a fallen angel, a messenger of darkness, would sneak into their paradise in the form of a snake, and trick Eve into eating the fruit through lies and treachery. Adam also broke his promise to God, and since Eden was a perfect place, they had to be cast out for their disobedience. This was the beginning of the world."

"But wait…" Jack asked, his face screwed in confusion "Why would God put a tree that would ruin their life and keep them from living in the Garden there in the first place?"

"Because God loved them." Aster replied simply.

"Huh?"

"God doesn't force Himself on people," the rabbit smiled "He wanted Adam and Eve to have the choice on whether or not they would stay in the Garden. Remember when I said that He took walks with them? They knew about the evils of the tree, and I bet they talked about it too, but they still decided to disobey God, and even though it broke His heart, God wanted to make sure that they had that choice to begin with because He would rather people choose to love and obey Him, rather than be forced to."

Jack nodded, understanding in his eyes as he waited for the Pooka to continue "Now," Bunny began once again "after the Garden, thousands of years passed where God saw the evil of the humans He created time after time, and once He even destroyed the entire Earth in a flood because He was so disgusted with the murder, hatred, and evil deeds being done. Though, it was the righteousness of one man that saved the world, and God allowed humans one last chance through the line of Noah. Once again humans walked the Earth, but…God had a special plan, one He had been preparing since He first created Earth, knowing that in the end it would be the only way to save His creation."

"What did He do?" the winter spirit asked, eyes wide with wonder.

"He decided to become a human Himself, and be born from a virgin." Aster replied.

"Jesus Christ." The sprite breathed "Then Jesus Christ…is God?"

"Exactly" the rabbit nodded "He loved humans so much He came down to know what it felt like to be human. He wanted to experience life the way we do so that He could understand and learn to love us all over again on a deeper level. He wanted to know what it felt like to stub your toe, to oversleep on a school day, to crush on a girl, and even to cry when a friend breaks your heart. God wanted to know us, and so He came as a baby and grew into a man, and lived a life where He was tempted in the ways we are, but never once committed sin."

"That's pretty cool!" Jack smiled.

"Yeah, but that's not the best part."

"Well then," the sprite laughed pushing Bunny gently on the shoulder "keep talking!"

"Ok, ok" Aster laughed "For thirty years Jesus, God in flesh, lived as a human, and then He began to travel around the country doing miracles by healing people, and teaching them about God. He even revealed to people that He was God, and many believed in Him. It was when He was thirty-three though that His ultimate plan formed from the beginning came into action though."

"Ya see kid," the rabbit said "back in the old days, people would kill animals as a blood sacrifice to roll their sins back another year, and keep God's anger away from them, but God wanted to create a way that wouldn't just shove the sins under the carpet for a year, but would erase them completely. And so, knowing that the only way to erase the sins of the world was through a perfect blood sacrifice, He allowed Himself to be betrayed by His own friend and taken captive by the people who hated Him, and after His trial where even the leaders of that country could not find Him guilty of anything, He was nailed to a cross and executed."

"He…" Jack felt his heart break "He died?"

"Yeah," Bunny nodded "I saw it myself. That man, who had so much love for the people around Him, was murdered by the same people who He had served and done miracles for. They beat Him with whips that had chips of bone and glass woven in them, and then He was forced to carry a heavy wooden cross up a hill, and then as if that weren't enough, they laid His bloody body across the wood and nailed His hands and His feet to the thing. I can still remember His screams of pain as the large pieces of metal pierced His skin and His bone, and the way His blood flooded down the wood and to the ground below. God Himself became the perfect sacrifice that would erase our sins, and bring us salvation."

Jack bit his lip, tears springing to his eyes "But why? Why would He do that?"

"Because He loves us," the rabbit replied ruffling Jack's head fondly "and that was a good enough reason for Him to go through that kind of torture."

"That's so sad…" Jack sighed then looked at the rabbit accusingly "How is THAT the best part?!"

"It is, and it isn't" the rabbit smiled secretively "ya see, the story ain't done yet. When God's human body died on the cross, the Earth shook, and the veil in the temple that separated people from the presence of God was torn in half, but that wasn't even the end of it. Because ya can't kill God."

Jack let a bright grin light his face "Of course!" he smiled "Because Jesus was God, and God can't really die!"

"Exactly!" Bunny nodded "Ya see, before He died, He told his followers that He was going to die for everyone's sin, but that He would rise again in three days. The government at that time was scared of Jesus, and knew about this prophecy, and they did everything they could to ensure that this didn't happen. They even thought that His followers would steal His body and make it seem like He had, but they didn't expect what happened next."

"Bunny!" Jack wailed "Stop with the suspense, and tell me already!"

"He came back to life, mate" Aster grinned "Just like He said, three days later a huge angel rolled back the stone scaring the guards who had been put there away, and then Jesus walked out of His tomb victorious. After that, He was seen by thousands of people, and there were many first hand and eye witness accounts of having seen Jesus. Later on, many people who saw Him were gathered on a hill, and Jesus was speaking to them. He told them that He was going back to His throne in heaven to prepare a special city just for those who lived lives according to His scripture, and He also said that power shall come to them through the Holy Ghost and that they were to wait for it in a city called Jerusalem. Many left to wait for this promise, but as time went by, many grew tired and left, impatient and not truly wanting what God had to offer, content with what they had. But those that stayed, well the Bible talks about it in the book of Acts during chapter two, about how God came into the room like a mighty rushing wind, and filled their hearts with His spirit, and they spoke in the Holy Ghost."

"What is that?"

"The Holy Ghost is when God's spirit comes into your heart, and you have the most perfect conversation a body could ever have with Jesus. It is when you completely connect with God our creator, and you speak in a language you never learned. The Bible even tells us that only through speaking in that different tongue, or language, is the only way you can really get the Holy Ghost."

"Have you gotten it?" Jack wondered.

"Yeah," Bunny nodded "I was there, but I'm ashamed to say that it's been a while since I talked to my creator last."

"What's it like?"

"Well," Aster leaned back and closed his eyes as he searched for the right words "It is the most beautiful, wonderful experience ya could ask for. You feel weightless, like you could fly right into the sky and never touch the ground. All the problems and worries in your heart just disappear, and ya feel full to bursting with power, love, and happiness. It is so amazing, I don't even have words to describe it. There are millions of people who experience this every day, and they still see miracles of healing and power through it."

"Wow" Jack smiled "Can I have it?"

"It's for everyone," Aster grinned "The Bible in the book of Acts chapter twenty-eight, and verse twenty says that the promise, meaning the Holy Ghost, is for adults and for children, and to anyone God calls to Him, meaning everyone living on the Earth."

"That's so cool!" The sprite bounced before his eyes suddenly became serious "But wait, if God is a spirit like us, why don't people see Him?"

"Because" Bunny sighed "less and less people believe in Him. Like I said, many do, though just as many aren't following the Bible the way they need to be, but in the end people are forgetting about Jesus and how He came to Earth as a human and died for them just so that they could find a way to heaven."

Jack sniffled a little, nodding his head, understanding the pain of people not believing and walking through you despite how many good things you try to do for them. Looking up at Bunny with tear filled eyes, he gave a gentle smile "Wanna stay for their next service? I think I want to hear more about God, and how He died for me. Maybe I can get the Holy Ghost too."

Bunny smiled, and placed a paw on the boy's shoulder "Sure Jackie, it would be my honor."

Happy Easter everyone!

And to anyone wondering, yes I am Apostolic Pentecostal, and yes I have gotten the Holy Ghost by speaking in a language I never learned. It truly is the most fantastic amazing experience I have ever felt, and through it I have seen wonderful miracles in my church. I have seen a lady healed from AIDs, I have seen another person completely healed form cancer, and I have even seen a man raised from the dead. It is real, and I love being able to be a part of the glorious power of God!
