What Really Happened (part 2)

Rating for this chapter: K

Jack woke up by his pond, he sat up and sighed. 'I wonder if bunny will ever forgive me… even though it wasn't my fault….' Jack sighed once again and took to the sky.

He flew over a few cities on his way to the pole. He and the guardians were planning on helping bunny with his egg painting. After the fight with pitch bunny still yet to regain all of his believers, so the others decided to help with this year's easter.

Jack flew through the lefted opened window that was usually meant for tooth and sandy, and landed on his staff with skilled balance. He jumped off to the floor soundlessly and walked into the meeting room.

The others were already there working on some eggs. Tooth painting little teeth on the eggs, north was painting all sorts of candy, and sandy's… was a little strange… bunny was painting as well.

Jack walked in, quietly, not wanting to break the others concentration. Bunny's nose twitched and one of his ears faced him, but he said nothing, just smiled to himself.

Jack reached the table and sat down next to bunny, not really knowing what to do.

Bunny chuckled, "so you decided to show up frostbite." bunny spoke, jack looked at him sheepishly.

"I have you know, since it's close to my break, I like to sleep in sometimes." Jack huffed, playfully.

"sure , ya do frostbite." bunny ruffled his hair, noticing the visible flich that jack made at the contacted. Bunny frowned at that. "So you want me to teach ya how to paint? Well let's see what ya can do first."

Jack nodded and slowly reached for one of the happily jumping egglets that was on the table. He held the egg in his hand and carefully picked up the paint brush.

'What the crackers is he doing?' bunny was very confused with the slow motion like movements that Jack was making.

Soon Jack was finally actually painting the egg, and it was done very finely as well.

'Maybe this is how he concentrates?' bunny wondered as he watched Jack take gentle and careful strokes of the brush on the egg.

20 minutes later jack finally finished his egg. And it was one of the most beautiful eggs he had ever seen.

The egg was of a snowy day; the sun, just peeking above the frosted trees; little tiny teeny snowflakes gently falling from the sky.

Bunny's jaw dropped at the beautiful egg. He just stared in awe at the egg.

"Jack ya do not need no paintin' lesson." bunny gently placed the egg on the table. "Ya need ta tell me how ya learned to paint like that."

Jack twiddled his thumbs nervously. "Oh uh… I wanted to help you at some point, well more like after '68… I felt really bad about it so… I decided that I would learn to paint and see if I could make it up to you…"

Bunny sighed, "yeah frostbite, sorry i was so harsh on ya that year, I-"

There was a sudden crash on the window. Was… was that the spirit of hatred?

"Ow-!" the spirit had just ran into a window. "Ah Easter Bunny there you are! I need to speak with you."

Bunny raised a questioning eyebrow. "About wha'?"

"Please come with me." the Spirit of hatred requested.

Bunny stood and followed close behind.

"So wha' is it tha' ya wanted ta speak ta meh about?" Bunny asked closing the door behind him.

"I am here to apologize for what my underling did to your holiday." The spirit of hatred explained.

Bunny raised an eyebrow. "Whaddya mean?"

"Huh? I could have sworn… ah! Oh no d-Did he frame someone Oh dear!" The spirit shouted in distraught.

"Wait wait wait, what year are we talkin' abou'?" Bunny asked.

"Oh '68, one of the worst snow storms of the day."

Bunny's eyes widened, and gilt clung it's filthy fingers around the ribbit once again.

"I-it's fine mate… y-... you can go now Ah'm a bit busy at the moment. "And that was the last thing Bunny said for the rest of the day...

When bunny came back jack looked at him worriedly, but said nothing. He knew something was wrong, but it really wasn't his business to pry into. So he let the rabbit be.

Bunny was just swimming in his guilt. How could he have not know? No, he didn't listen to Jack when he tried to explain the situation.

When sandy and tooth needed to leave the others thought it would be a good idea to head home as well. Well except jack, he was still on his fifth egg and he really wanted to finish it. North was fine with it as long as he cleaned up the mess. But bunny…. Wasn't as understanding.

Bunny didn't want Jack staying up all night working on his Holiday goodies. Not that he didn't mind the help it was that he knew that Jack was trying to make up for not one but two easters which he probably blames both on himself.

So Bunny pulled up a chair next to Jack. He didn't say anything tell no one was in the room with them. Once they were alone bunny spoke up.

"Jack, we need ta talk." bunny stated, looking soloum.

Jack put his paintbrush down and looked up at the pooka with a questioning look. "What's up Kangaroo?" Jack asked, throw his famous cocky smile, he was expecting a comment on the nickname he just called the large ribbit, but… none came, just a sad guilty look. 'Something must be really wrong.' Jack's smile dropped to a worried frown.

"Jack Ah'... Ah' wanted to ask ya what really happened on '68 ..." bunny replied not looking at the winter spirit.

Jack stared at the pooka for a bit… he then took a deep breath. He knew bunny would want to know someday. "Okay…."
