Spring was settling into Anaheim and the park was alive with activity. Even the Mighty Ducks had been invited as guests of honor to overview the activity.

"Remind me again why we're letting Phil sign us up for this?", Tanya asked.

Canard rolled his eyes while smiling.

"It's a thing. I just hope Malevolence doesn't crash the joint like last time."

Nosedive sighed heavily and massaged his throat.

"What's with you?", Wildwing asked.

Nosedive put on a straight face or at least tried to.

"Nothing. Just a bad memory of fighting the Color that's all."

Phil who was nearby stopped suddenly and his eyes went wide.

"Where?!", he asked before leaping under a nearby bush and shivering like a leaf in the wind clearly showing he was scared and had overheard Nosedive.

Thrash and Mookie came up with a bunch of boxes loaded with eggs while Morpha( in the form of a large man sized rabbit wearing a blue waistcoat, a monocle, and a top hat) hopped over to where little kids were and a photos began being taken.

"Thanks for bringing the eggs.", Wildwing said as Thrash and Mookie placed the crates near the table the ducks were at.

"Aw shucks Wing. Just doing our job.", Thrash said smiling.

Mookie straightened her back and turned to see that they had a couple more crates to haul over.

"Hey, mind if Grin helps out?", she asked, "Many hands make a lighter load."

Grin got up.

"Those who ask for aid are quick to receive it."

"I'm guessing that's a yes then?", Wildwing asked.

Grin shrugged and went over to help Thrash and Mookie. Morpha had finished a session and came over to the ducks while shaping itself into it's dog form again just as Klegghorn came up alongside it.

"Well nothing seems out of the ordinary.", he reported, "The mayor apparently still remembers last year's Easter and wants this year's to be extra safe."

"Hey thanks for letting us be the protective services instead of celebrity appearances.", Mallory said, "I'm really getting worn down by Phil's ideas."

"You're not the only one.", Duke answered, "But why is it we still find this egg coloring a little unnerving?"

"Hey they're humans after all.", Nosedive stated, "They do a lot of things we're not familiar with."

Back on Puckworld, Danielle and Julia were spending the morning at the rink where Drake DuCaine's statue was with Clyde nearby.

"Any idea when Quasleet will have that portal up?", Danielle asked.

Julia could tell by the look on her face that she was eager to see Canard in person again except that she wouldn't need the special communications device to do so.

"I'm not sure.", Julia answered, "Grandpa is a little off lately."

Clyde raised an eyebrow.

"In what way?"

Julia and Danielle paused skating for a bit for Clyde to catch up before continuing on.

"He seems a little troubled about something, but he won't tell me what it is. I'm tempted to visit his lab to see how far he's got, but he tells me not to worry about it."

Danielle looked unsure.

"Looked like he was on track last time Adam and I saw the place."

Clyde then smiled.

"Well we probably shouldn't let it get to us. Fear makes us think and feel things we probably shouldn't. Quasleet was probably having a bit of an off day. Why don't we call Earth and see how everyone else is doing?"

Danielle's face brightened.

"I like that idea. Better yet, why don't we surprise them and visit?"

"Brilliant idea Angelwing.", Julia said smiling just as brightly, "I'm sure Grandpa won't mind us doing that."

And off they skated to Julia's house. They had reached the door when Foxy came out the door with it's tails fanning out and looking curious after stretching itself on the yard and followed them.

"Looks like our new friend wants to help out.", Clyde said observing Foxy's actions.

They got to the communications room and Julia found a note on the board.

"Went out for some supplies. Don't do anything to draw attention til I get back. Grandpa.", Julia read, "Well, let's light the candle."

The ducks pulled into the base and still feeling pretty worn over the day's activities.

"I still don't get why eggs get colored every day.", Mallory stated, "I feel kind of weird about it."

"It's just something they do every year.", Wildwing answered.

"And that they're humans.", Nosedive put in.

"You said that already today.", Canard stated firmly before easing up, "You guys have been on Earth longer than I have so I believed you would get used to it."

The ducks decided to drop it and seeing the hour decided to hit the hay unaware that outside in the park a few ducks were just landing.

"Well we're here.", Clyde said firmly.

Danielle noticed the Easter decorations around the place and got interested.

"What's all this?", she asked going up to a couple colored eggs and examining them like medical papers.

"It's Easter.", Julia answered, "It's a holiday Earth celebrates."

Danielle then noticed a large cross nearby with some tables along the base and she got close enough to see that some people were kneeling and singing.

"You came from Heaven to Earth to show the way. From the Earth to the cross, my debt to pay. From the cross to the grave. From the grave to the sky. Lord I lift your name on high."

Danielle listened and felt the chorus all the way to her heart and felt so at peace as Julia and Clyde came up alongside her. By the time the people repeated the song, this time, Danielle joined in and the feeling only got stronger. As they walked away, Danielle couldn't help but feel enlightened.

"Why am I feeling this?", she wondered.

"Must be what Easter really is.", Julia stated.

They then noticed a flier on a lamppost which they stopped to read.

"Looks like a talent show is going to be going on after the big Easter egg hunt tomorrow.", Clyde observed.

"So why do I feel like that's not important?", Julia asked.

"Cause it's not."

The trio turned to see Theo materialize nearby on a bench.

"Easter is more than just that."

"Then what is it about?", Danielle asked getting interested.

Theo only held a hand out and a few sheets of music appeared which he handed over.

"This song helps tell it.", he said as Julia took it, "May I suggest singing it for your act?"

Danielle looked over the sheet and got interested.

"Mr. Theo, what if we-"

She turned to see Theo had vanished away. Julia folded the music sheets and the trio headed off to find a place to stay for the night.

The following morning the park was filled with young people searching for the colorful eggs and other special prizes around for good measures. Even the ducks were getting into the swing. Nosedive was looking near a bench when a stuffed rabbit caught his eye. He had collected a bunch of eggs, but the ribbon on the rabbit's neck is what made him stare. The shiny magenta ribbon brought back a memory only for Wildwing to come over.

"You okay Dive?"

Nosedive quickly tried giving a straight face.

"Oh just something I found."

Wildwing noticed the rabbit and smiled.

"Well it looks like you got a special prize."

A loud bell rang out signaling that the egg hunt was over and all the eggs and prizes had been found. The ducks had gathered back and Nosedive couldn't take his eyes off the magenta ribbon on the rabbit's neck. After that ceremony, the ducks got to have some personal time. Nosedive was still holding the rabbit as Morpha came along from it's job of posing as the Easter Bunny and looking pretty dry.

"Hold on little guy.", Mallory said smiling.

She invoked Water and a nearby water fountain started flowing into a sphere which came over and Morpha drained to look hydrated again. It's color points turned yellow to show it was grateful. They were passing the talent show when the next act was announced.

"And our final act for the show is a special performance to tell us what Easter truly is about. Let's give a hand for our new singing sensation that bears a resemblance to our local hockey team: Ms. Julia Frostbright, Mr. Clyde Bronzefeather, and Ms. Danielle Angelwing."

The ducks paused as the curtains parted to reveal a large cross and Julia came out as the music started. Morpha shifted into a large bunch of stadium seats and the team could see the show better as Julia started to sing in a heavenly voice.

"There's a story that started on Christmas. When a baby was born in the night. And those who came far who followed this star were seeing a heavenly sight. A heavenly sight."

She took a step back as Danielle came out to sing the next verse.

"Well the years hurried by and the boy now a man could make the blind see with a touch of his hand. He was born to be king. He was rabbi and priest. The best that he had, he gave to the least. He gave to the least."

Clyde came out and in a beautiful baritone voice rang out.

"He was born and he died almost two thousand years ago. He laughed and he cried. He felt all the fears we know, but what does it matter a story so strange. And if that is true, what does it change? What does it change?"

As the song went on, Theo observed from afar when he noticed Serenity materialize near him.

"Sure has powerful meaning doesn't it?", Theo asked.

Serenity nodded.

"It would seem that our couples are feeling closer each time they meet."

Theo noticed Nosedive gripping the bunny he had found during the egg hunt and the magenta color matched Julia's hair for the day(excluding the silver highlights).

"Indeed. What better way to explain Easter than through song?"

They paused so they could hear the last verse sang by all three of the preforming ducks.

"For he died for us, to give us life. And to give us hope, he rose. He died for us, to give us life and to give us hope, he rose."

The crowd applauded and Theo then sped noticed Danielle and Canard share a hug and a kiss while Nosedive and Julia shared a hug.

"Yep, there's true love between these couples.", Serenity said stroking her necklace of autumn leaves and gems.

"We both know it's not over right?", Theo asked.

Serenity wasn't phased as Theo warped the area around them to find themselves overlooking the beach where Julia and Nosedive were sharing a moment and the other ducks observed.

"Julia?", Nosedive asked.

Julia looked his way.

"Yeah Dive?"

Theo noticed Nosedive was nervous and after taking a breath, he clutched something in his pant's pocket.

"You sure surprised us back there.", Nosedive said, "You nailed that song."

"Thanks.", Julia answered, "It was suggested by a friend."

Nearby the other ducks were watching and some were a little more than tense.

"C'mon Dive.", Thrash whispered.

"Just stop being nervous and tell Julia how you feel.", Mookie added.

Canard looked their way.

"He's getting there. Just give him a moment."

They then noticed Nosedive pull out a box from his pants pocket and Serenity could see where this was going and Theo did too.

"Oh for Heaven's sake let's just go for it.", Theo decided.

He raised his hand, but Serenity stopped him.

"Don't push.", she said firmly, "He's got it."

Nosedive finally pulled the box out and opened it to reveal a rose in many colors which Julia took in her hand.

"A flower?", Mallory asked disappointed, "He had all that build up for a flower?"

"Wait for it.", Wildwing said firmly.

Nosedive got up and took another breath.

"Julia, I know you, Clyde and Danielle are going back soon, but I need to know that if I asked you make it official, what would you have said?"

Julia looked a little shocked for a split second.

"Are you kidding me?", she asked smiling, "Yes!"

Nosedive then mentioned towards the middle of the rose where a platinum and gold band with an emerald cross which Julia placed on her finger as the other ducks cheered. Theo and Serenity both looked at each other.

"Well, it's official.", Theo answered.

"Told you.", Serenity teased as she and Theo warped away.

(A/N: The two songs used were "Lord I Lift Your Name on High" hymn and "Hope's Song" from Veggietales An Easter Carol. I don't claim anything.)
