Revelations on Easter


Prepping for Easter was so much more fun than Jack ever thought it could've been!

He had been one of the Guardians for a couple years now, and had always wanted to assist Bunny during Easter. However, he never knew how to ask and their relationship was still a bit rocky at best during the first year. But Bunny had invited him to assist with the Easter preparations this year, and Jack had felt so relieved. Finally, he could help make up for the Easter events from when Pitch was plotting to plunge the world into darkness.

And, if he were really being honest, Jack was hoping it would help make up for the Easter of '68 as well. That day was his fault and there was no blame to be placed on, or shared with, the Boogeyman for that particular incident.

All those thoughts aside, however, prepping for Easter was a lot of fun! Jack enjoyed painting the eggs, and Bunny had given him free reign to paint however many he wanted.

Jack lost count after he got into the triple digits.

Not a lot of people knew this, but Jack was pretty artsy. He had managed to scrap up a pencil and paper a few times over the years and practiced drawing. His favorite things to draw had always been the children who ventured out into the snow to spend the day playing. Jack had discovered he had a natural talent in drawing, but that doesn't mean everything looked exactly as it should have when he first started out, and even now his skills could use some improving. Bunny had shown him how to hold the brush to get nicer, smoother lines while he was painting the eggs. He wondered it that transferred over to paper and pencil as well?

After spending days painting eggs, they were finally getting the little googies in place for the march, Jack was giddy to finally get out there and see the kid's faces when they saw the brightly colored eggs littering their neighborhoods.

Bunny saw this excitement and his pride inflated just a bit. Eat that North.

"Excited are ya, Jack?" Bunny asked, a sly grin on his face.

Jack looked at the Pooka and nodded vigorously. "This is going to be so much fun!" Jack exclaimed, jumping in the air and somersaulting, showing Bunny just how much energy was coursing through the kid.

Bunny laughed. "It will be, Snowflake." And Bunny meant that. He'd never had anyone to share in his day, and up until recently, delivering the eggs had only been his job. That's how he had viewed it. It was just his job and he didn't have the joy that he did right now over getting to see the kids. Bunny remembered having that thrill in his earliest years as the Easter Bunny, but as the number of believers grew and the years went by, he had just grown accustomed to the hum-drum of painting and hiding eggs. That excitement had dwindled. But the Easter events of only a couple years ago had taught him to appreciate his "hum-drum" duties. In fact, it wasn't simply his duties, it was his life and passion and his purpose. The children believed in him and they deserved a better and better Easter Sunday with every passing year.

"Now Jack." Bunny said, coming out of his inner musings. "The eggs are able to hide themselves for the most part, but some may need a little help getting to a hiding spot. Like some of them will wanna hide in trees, and ya just gotta give'em a boost. Also, make sure they won't hide in places that could get a kid hurt or in trouble. Like say a bush with a lot of thorns, or a behind a breakable lawn decoration. Understand Snowflake?"

Jack nodded again. "Yeah, that doesn't sound too hard!" Jack turned his attention to the endless see of colorful eggs still filing into place next to their assigned tunnels. Jack's excited jumpiness faltered for a moment, which Bunny didn't fail to notice.

"What's the matter Jack?" Bunny asked, curious as to what could fumble up the Guardian of Fun's excited mood.

Jack turned to face Bunny, looking a little horrified at whatever realization had just struck him. "Bunny," He started. "The eggs are smart!"

Bunny quirked an eyebrow. This wasn't exactly what he had been expecting. "Yeah~?"

Jack's eyes were as big as dinner plates. "They can walk and make their own tunnels!"

"Yeah, what's the point though kid?"

Jack looked back at Bunny as if he couldn't believe the Pooka didn't already see what he was getting at. "Bunny, the kids eat them!" Jack said, looking extremely worried. "The eggs are alive and the kids eat them!"

Bunny stared at the frost spirit in utter bafflement for a moment. Then, the Pooka burst into hysterical laughter.

For several moments, Bunny laughed and heaved, trying to suck in air as Jack stood staring between the holiday character and the sea of eggs, horrified and confused.

Eventually, Bunny started to come down from his hysterics, his paws on his knees for balance as he heaved in gulps of airs. When he stood up he wipe away a few tears and breathed out one good time to stop his shaking shoulders.

"Ah, Snowflake, I haven't laughed that good in a long time." Bunny said, still chuckling.

Jack still looked horrified, but before the kid could say anything, Bunny went on.

"The googies aren't alive, Snow for Brains." Bunny said, finally rid of all his chuckles. "Their enchanted. Until they reach their hiding spots on the surface, the eggs are enchanted so that they can walk and make their own tunnels so that they can get there. I came up with this a few centuries ago when Easter got a little overwhelming and I could barely hide the eggs because there wasn't enough time for just me to do it, and do it right. So, I enchanted the eggs so that they could walk and gave them a little bit of my own magic so they can make tunnels."

Jack's shoulders untensed and the size of his eyes went back to normal. "Oh." Was all he managed in response.

Bunny grinned. "I promise, the eggs don't have any brains of their own Snowflake. They only know where to go and what to do because that what I want them to do."

Jack looked up at the Pooka with round eyes, this time filled with wonder instead of horror. "Do you have, like, a telepathic connection with them or something."

"Ya could say that." Bunny said, then gestured to the sea of eggs surrounding them. "That's why they're all lining up nice and neatly in front of the tunnels. I know where I want them to go, so they know where to go in turn."

"Wow," Jack breathed. "I didn't know other spirits could do that…"

Bunny blinked, turning a questioning gaze to Jack. "What do ya mean by that? You can telepathically control a hoard of eggs?"

Jack chuckled. "No Kangaroo, but…well, the eggs are made here in the Warren right? I mean, you don't go out and empty the supermarkets of their eggs supplies...do you?" The last part was a genuine question. The mental image of the Easter Bunny standing in the checkout line with baskets piled to the point of spilling over with egg cartons was a little surreal.

Bunny shook his head and chuckled again. "No mate, I don't buy'em from no supermarket. The Warren makes'em, and it makes as many as I'll need for each Easter."

"Okay, so the Warren makes them and you enchant them, right?"

"Yes." Bunny confirmed, wondering where this was going.

Jack hopped onto the crook of his staff, balancing on the ancient piece of wood perfectly. "And, now that I think about it, Sandy kind of does the same with his sand creatures, even if they are only temporary. Pitch does too, because he has the Nightmares. Why did I never realize this?!"

Bunny shook his head, not seeing the picture. "What are ya going on about?"

Jack turned his attention back to the Pooka. "Sorry, I'm just realizing some stuff."

"Well, care to share?"

"I can kind of do what you do too." Jack said, an excited gleam in his eyes. "I can make small creatures that help me with spreading winter!"

Bunny's jaw dropped. "What?" He questioned, astonished.

"Yeah!" Jack said. "They're little snow creatures that can do some of the things I don't always have time to do, like frosting over windows, making those hanging icicles, and even managing small snow storms if I'm dealing with bigger ones."

Bunny just stared at the winter teen in utter shock. He hadn't expected this turn of news.

"And I think I know why!" Jack went on. "You, me, Sandy and even Pitch, don't have helpers like Tooth and North. So when the job gets too big for just one of us to handle, we can make it a little easier by making some helpers."

Slowly, Bunny started to come out of his stupor. He took what Jack said and mulled it over. It made sense, as some help would be needed to complete the duties of each spirit Jack named. He hadn't really thought it over though, and never did it cross his mind that Jack had any helpers. But Jack was surprising him more and more every time Bunny was given the opportunity to learn more about him.

An odd silence had enveloped them while Jack and Bunny thought on their own realizations in the privacy of their own minds. Then Bunny quirked a grin.

"Think some of ya helpers might wanna spread some Easter hope?"

Jack beamed from ear to ear.


On the surface, Jack's winter helpers were waiting for them when they emerged from one of Bunny's tunnels, and Bunny had to admit they were quite a beautiful sight.

There were all assortments of winter themed animals that Jack had created, all of them white as the winter child's snowy hair. A pair or Arctic foxes, snowy owls and polar bears, and even a few snow hares, which Bunny was a bit surprised at.

"I have more." Jack said, pulling Bunny's attention away from the snowy hares bouncing over one another. "But these are the ones I can spare. I have deer's, big cats, and different types of birds like snow geese and cardinals."

"How did they get here so fast?" Bunny asked.

"When I need them quickly, Wind brings them to me."

Bunny's eyes became disks. "Wind can carry a polar bear?"

"Well not in this form." And as if on cue, a huge gust of wind tore through the group and blew through one of the polar bears, turning it into a giant cluster of snowflakes. It traveled around the group for a few moments before it descended to the ground and the snowflakes gathered tightly together and re-formed into the polar bear once more.

"Woah mate." Bunny said, grabbing the boy's attention immediately. "That's pretty amazing."

Jack blushed a tinge, touched by the genuine awe the Pooka expressed.

After a beat, Bunny clapped his paws together. "Alright! Easter is approaching fast, so we better get to hopping!"


The day passed by quickly with nothing but success.

Jack took the quadrants he was managing and assisted the eggs into their hiding places. His own snow creatures did the same. The owls lifting them to higher ground and the hares cleared paths on the ground level so the eggs could confidently hide in briar free bushes. The foxes were nimble and fast, able to carry a basket load of them from house to house where the eggs would then clamber out and find their own hiding spaces. The polar bears lead the way to parks where community Easter egg hunts were being held, and made sure the eggs spread out across the clearings so there was more room for the kidst to run and less of a hazard for them to fall over one another when the hunt began.

Eventually, Jack and Bunny met up in the middle, as they had planned when they took their coordinates, and a race ensued. The pair hopped and flew from house to park, playfully throwing insults at one another and planting small booby traps for each other.

When the kids started to come out, empty bags and baskets at the ready, Jack and Bunny watched a hunt or two from the side lines. Occasionally, a younger child was left in the dirt, the older children beating them to eggs and collecting more googies than the younglings. Jack and Bunny made sure those children "stumbled upon" a hiding spot that the older kids "couldn't find."

And Bunny always had baskets prepared for kids who were stuck in their homes for one reason or another. They believed in the Easter Bunny, and he was going to be damned sure the little ankle biters knew he appreciated that.

All in all, Easter had been a complete success.

"Man, that was so much fun!" Jack beamed as he flew next to the sprinting Easter Bunny on their way back to the Warren. "I wish we could do this every day!"

Bunny chuckled. "Might not be a good idea to do this every day Snowflake. I might tear my fur out if I had to prep millions of eggs every night!"

Jack laughed. "And nobody wants a bald Easter Kangaroo delivering their eggs! You might scare even Pitch if you showed bald on his doorstep handing out baskets!"

Bunny shot Jack a steely glare, but there was a twinkle of amusement in those emerald eyes.

"What I was gonna say is that we might not could do this every day…but every year isn't out of the question."

Bunny's heart grew three sizes at the look of pure joy on the winter spirits face.
