Author's Notes: This chappie isn't part of the main storylines but I wrote it just for… well, fun. ^^;;;; Erm, well, not really. It's just that, I might put bits and pieces of them later so better put them in now!!! XD So, if you're a lazy reader, you can go ahead and skip this.

Disclaimer: Duh, if you don't know that Konami owns Suikoden, you shouldn't even be reading this.

The Great Easter Egg Hunt

Extra:

           

            "Hmm, to be honest, I didn't think the egg hunt would be so popular…" Leona said.

            "I guess there a lot more people who wanted to have fun than you initially thought?" Viktor suggested.

            "Hmm… perhaps." Leona shrugged. "Or maybe it's the sixteen thousand potch they want?"

            "Now, now, there's no need to be so cynical." Viktor grinned.

            "Look at this…" Leona pointed to one of the registration forms. "Hanna's Angels…" She grinned at Viktor.

            "Hanna, Tuta, Yuzu, Pete," Viktor read aloud. "Interesting…"

* * *

            "Hello Yuzu-chan!!!" Pete called, running in the ranch. Tuta followed him, a first-aid kit slung on shoulder as usual.

            "Hi Pete-chan, hi Tuta-chan!!!" Yuzu waved. She jumped off the sheep she was riding on and patted it affectionately. "Taro-chan says 'hi' too!!"

            "Hey Yuzu-chan, we'll join the Easter Egg Hunt, right?" Pete asked.

            "I want to," Yuzu tilted her head to the side thoughtfully. "But I thought Tuta-chan wasn't sure if he can…"

            "Huan-sensei said yes," Tuta informed her enthusiastically. "He said I was allowed too and that's it's a good sort of game for young boys."

            "And what about little girls?" Yuzu asked. "It's good too, right?"

            "I didn't ask." Tuta said. "But I'm sure it is too!!"

            "YAY!!!" Pete threw his arms in the air and spun in a circle. "We're joining, we're joining!!!"

            "Well, not yet…" Tuta murmured. "We need one more person…"

            "I know!!!" Yuzu clapped enthusiastically. "We can ask Susie-chan, the little girl who comes here in the ranch and plays with me and Taro everyday!!"

            "Shouldn't we get a grown-up to join our team?" Tuta asked.

            "Why?" Yuzu's brows drew together.

            "Well, they say grown-ups are better at doing things so they can help us." Tuta explained. "And they are taller and they can reach eggs we can't reach!!!"

            "Oh, that's right!!!" Pete clapped his hands. "We can ask Tony-san to join us!!!"

            "But I want a girl teammate." Yuzu pouted.

            "Well…" Pete thought. "Who can we ask then?"

            "Oh, I know!!!" Tuta pointed to somebody sitting by the cliffs. "There's Hanna-san. Maybe, she will agree?"

            Hanna was just sitting on the grassy ground, enjoying the fresh air and the quiet when she suddenly heard three ear-splitting yells.

            "HANNA-SAN!!!"

            "HELLO HANNA-SAN!!!"

            "HANNA-SAN PLEASE JOIN US!!!"

            So much for peace and quiet. "………" Hanna looked at the three children blankly.

            "Hanna-san, did you hear about the egg hunt?" Tuta asked.

            "………"

            "You did, right?" Pete said excitedly. "She did!!!"

            "Oh, good!!!" Yuzu exclaimed. "Will you join our team?"

            "………"

            "You will, right?" Pete clapped his hands. "Hoo-ray!!!"

            "………"

* * *

            "Oh, oh.. how about this one?" Leona pointed to another form.

            "Forest Friends."  Viktor snickered. "Any guesses why?"

* * *

            "H-hello Ayda…" Kinnison called to the girl who was perched high above a tree branch. "May I have a word with you?"

            "Sure," she shouted back at him. "If you don't mind having to climb up, that is."

            "You'll have to stay down here for a while, Shiro." Kinnison kneeled down and ruffled his friend's fur. Then he climbed nimbly up the tree.

            "What is it you wish to speak about?" Ayda asked him.

            "W-well…" Kinnison scratched his head then looked up at her bashfully. "You did hear about the Easter Egg Hunt didn't you?"

            "Yes, I did." Ayda answered.

            "Umm, I wanted to ask you, would you be interested to join?" Kinnison asked.

            "Well… it's a rather interesting idea…" Ayda said.

            "Then, what about it?" Kinnison smiled at her. "Team up with Shiro and me."

            "Sure." Ayda said. "Just one question though."

            "What is it?"

            "Are you sure beasts are allowed to join?"

            Kinnison blinked. "Well, why not?'

            Ayda shrugged. "I don't know. Usual complexities of human events… anyway, I wish Feather can be with us as well."

            "Oh of course." Kinnison nodded.

            "It's settled then." Ayda smiled.

            "This has got to be the most uninspired name I've ever seen," Leona gestured to yet another form.

            "Knights." Viktor laughed. "You think they could have at least said, 'Red and Blue Knights' or 'Knights of the Sword'. But no."

* * *

            "Aww, c'mon Valeria," Anita purred. "Don't you ever loosen up?"

            "Not in the way you do," Valeria pointed out. "I have better things to do with my time than crawl all over North Window Castle's lawns, searching for brightly colored eggs."

            "C'mon, it will be fun." Anita said.

            "No, thank you."

            "I get it." Anita smirked triumphantly.

            "Get what??!" Valeria demanded.

            "You suck." Anita whooped.

            "I, what??!" Valeria demanded.

            "You suck at these sort of things!!" Anita laughed. "You probably came in last in every race, lost every contest. A dud. What a traumatic childhood you must have had!!!"

            "That's NOT true!!!" Valeria cried.

            "Yes it is!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!" Anita clutched at her stomach, still laughing.

            "Stop that!!!"

            "No way," Anita sauntered over to the nearest table, which happened to be occupied by Miklotov and Camus.

            "Hey Miklotov, what do you say we have some good old fun and get all roughed up and dirty this Sunday, huh?" Anita asked.

            Miklotov choked on his wine and turned beet-red. He struggled to place his glass on the table and glared at Camus who was stifling his laughter.

            "Uh… m-milady…" Miklotov gulped when Anita bent down and rested her elbows on the table. "I, I, uh…"

            "Why so nervous, honey?" Anita cooed. "Hey Camus, get that dirty grin off your pretty face."

            "Huh?" Camus gave her a look of exaggerated innocence.

            "I was just inviting Miklotov over here for some happy times," Anita looked at Miklotov with puppy dog eyes. "Come on Miklotov, you can't refuse an invitation to the Easter Egg Hunt, can you?''

            "Egg hunt??" Miklotov blinked.

            "Egg hunt??!" Camus wrinkled his nose. "But I thought—"

            "I was hitting on him??" Anita giggled. "Ah Camus, you have such a naughty little mind. That's why I love ya."

            "Well, milady, I am not certain if I can go to the egg hunt this Sunday," Miklotov said.

            "Aww, you're so uptight, Mikky…" Anita ran a finger down the front of his coat. "You are just like Valeria. I would just have to take care of people like you." Anita turned back to Valeria and pulled her over to the knights' table. "Sit down, honey, we should all have a little chat and be friends, right?"

            "So, you are proposing the four of us go to the egg hunt, right?" Camus asked.

            "Why of course." Anita nodded. "It will be fun."

            "I thought I made myself clear," Valeria snapped. "I am NOT going to participate in something so irrelevant, something so childish—"

            "Valeria, it will be good for you." Anita smiled. "Hey boys, did you know Valeria was incompetent as a child?"

            " I was not!!!" Valeria cried.

            "She doesn't have good memories of the fun games children play." Anita explained. "So that is why she is so apprehensive about reliving them."

            "That is not true, Anita." Valeria fumed.

            "Lady Anita, you should stop reminding Lady Valeria about such traumatic experiences," Miklotov said in a gentle manner.

            "Aww, Mikky, you are right." Anita winked at him.

            "I am not traumatized!!!" Valeria said harshly.

            "Ah, Valeria," Camus shook his head and placed a hand on her shoulder. "It is nothing to be ashamed of, everyone has gone through such experiences in their lives after all."

            "Oh shut up," Valeria muttered.

            "You should listen to Camus, dear." Anita said. "It all makes sense, doesn't it boys? Her obsessive behavior, her insecurity—it is all explained by that childhood trauma."

            "FOR THE LAST TIME, I AM NOT TRAUMATIZED!!!" Valeria shrieked.

            "Don't worry," Camus rubbed her shoulder consolingly. "We will face your fears and may we conquer them." Valeria gave him the evil eye and jerked her shoulder to get his hand off.

            "That's right, Camus." Anita giggled. "Don't worry Mikky. I'll take care of you and Camus will take care of Valeria and everything will be fine and dandy."

            Miklotov sighed. "………"

            Camus winked at Valeria. Valeria did her very best not to lose her temper and strangle the Red Knight. "………"

* * *

            "Leona-san, Viktor-san, they say it's about time for the egg hunt to start." Meilin said.

            "Oh, that's right." Leona gathered the forms. "Let's go outside now, Kuma-san."

            "Gah, why do you insist on calling me that?"

            "Because you ARE Bear." Leona laughed.

Author's Notes again: And now, let the egg hunt begin!!! XD
