A/N: It's a little depressing that I have to respond to my own challenge to write something. I think I'll go through the archives for old challenges, and then maybe try a few other communities. Anyway, Happy belated Easter.

Warnings: This drabble contains what may be seen as slandering of the Christian religion. This is not what I intended while writing it. My parents are Christian and I have nothing against said religion. I am merely writing this the way I feel these characters would react. However, if you feel you might be offended, please don't read. I'm here to entertain, not insult.
"Remind me why you need all this candy, again?"
"It's Easter."
"And?"
"Chocolate bunnies and marshmallow peeps are a requirement for Easter time."
"Yes, well, I'm sure it keeps all the dentists happy. What do rabbits and baby chickens have to do with Pontius Pilate killing a religious figure?"
"No, that's Good Friday."
"Makes you wonder how great he was, if Good Friday is the day he died..."
"Sorry, I didn't catch that...?"
"Nothing."
"...Anyway, Easter is when He rose from death."
"And what does it have to do with rabbits and baby chickens?"
"...I don't know."
"That's what I thought. Are you sure you have enough candy there?"
"I could always add a little more..."
"That won't be necessary. Why are you smiling like that?"
"What, I'm not allowed to smile?"
"...Don't you find it at least a little disturbing that the Easter Bunny brings chocolate rabbits for small children to eat?"
"...Y'know, you have issues."
"I know. And you love me for them."
"Mmm. Well, there is that."
Sorry, not a lot of romance, but I'm pretty low on creativity right now. Blame school.
