It was mild, fine by me.

There had been a mild drizzle earlier this morning, but that cleared now. I was still wearing my raincoat just in case.

I was in the park with Jamie and his friends. Pippa, Monty, Cupcake (seriously, what kind of name is that?) Claude and Caleb.

I wasn't sure I wanted to be here. I would prefer being inside in my room reading or doodling, something like that.

So I was standing by the picnic benches with Jamie's mum and Sophie, watching the kids run around with baskets.

Honestly, it made my heart hurt.

Ever since that incident with Jamie I'd been thinking more and more about my brother, I'd even pulled out that homemade necklace he gave me.

Danny was always really enthusiastic about everything. Things involving the Guardians especially, so naturally he loved Easter as well. Watching Jamie and the others running around looking for eggs reminded me of him so much it hurt.

Sophie was annoyed that her mum wouldn't let her find any more eggs with her brother. She kept on tugging on her mum's trouser leg saying pleadingly "hop?"

Mrs Bennett would then shake her head and say, "No Soph, you've got to save some for the other kids."

I'd seen Sophie's egg, and after hearing a story from Jack, found very easy to believe that Bunnymund had put that egg there especially for her.

It was a beautiful egg as well, dark green band fading into pale green further up the egg. Pink flowers and bluebells were delicately painted on the green background.

"Are you alright Jackie?" asked Mrs Bennett, giving me a gentle nudge in the arm. I ignored the blossom of uncomfortable warmth and shrugged.

"Come on, I won't tell anyone."

Sometimes Mrs Bennett could be a lot like Jamie, they had the same kind of earnest honesty. They honestly cared and wanted to help. I can't say I knew her all that well, but I certainly trusted her.

"It's... it's Danny."

Mrs Bennett nodded, understanding. "I remember watching you two. Energetic little guy."

"Yeah."

She gave me a gentle push on the shoulder, almost shoving me off the bench.

"Go on. Go find an egg. It'll cheer you up."

"No, I'm good."

"Jackie." Mrs Bennett levelled her gaze at me. "When was the last time you went hunting for Easter eggs?"

"Erm, eight years ago."

"Exactly. I know what happened to Jamie really upset you, I know I was scared when I heard what happened, I dread to think what was going through your head."

I nodded, looking at me my feet.

"But Jamie really likes you. He tends to mention you and Jack Frost in the same sentence! And you know how obsessed he is with him."

I had to smile at that. If only Mrs Bennett knew why.

"So don't disappoint him. Go find an egg."

"Fine fine." I said, getting up and wandering over to the bushes, scanning them half heartedly. I knew Bunnymund put a lot of effort into today, but I no longer saw the point. Right now I was just humouring Mrs Bennett. Why an egg anyway? How do you put an egg and a rabbit together to get Easter?

"Jackie!"

I looked up to see Jamie waving me over to a tree. He and his friends were clustered around the bottom, looking up at an egg sitting quite high up in the branches.

What were you thinking Bunnymund? Some poor kid's going to get hurt trying to climb that.

I sighed and ran over to see what they wanted.

"Jackie, you're tall..." Started Jamie and I could see where this was going. I was easily the tallest there, even standing over Cupcake, even though I was only five foot four.

"Alright, I'll get the flipping egg." I said, taking off my coat so it wouldn't get in the way. "Stand back."

The kids parted as I assessed the tree. The nearest branches were easily above most kids arm reach, which again confused me. Why on earth would Bunnymund put an egg this out of the way?

I took a run up to pushed myself up the tree, just grabbing onto the branches. From here most wouldn't have the upper body strength to pull themselves up, and I wasn't sure I had it either.

After checking that no one else was looking I allowed frost to form around my feet, essentially sticking myself to the tree. Using them like those sticky pads you see in spy films I moved my feet up until I could get onto that branch.

The egg was still a few branches up, so I began climbing up to get to it, several branches threatening to knock my glasses off.

Finally I got to the eggs level and I looked across at where it was. It was right on the edge of the branch, sitting snugly in a fork in the twigs. The egg itself was pale blue, with some dark blue and white accents. It was kinda pretty, even if it was in precarious spot.

"Seriously Bunnymund? Some poor kid could have broken their neck trying to get this." I muttered.

I shuffled along the branch, holding onto the one above for support. The wood creaked and groaned beneath my feet and the branch began to bend alarmingly from my weight.

"Be careful Jackie!" Called up Jamie and I made the mistake of looking down.

The ground swam beneath me and I felt a little sick. I groaned and looked away, instead focusing on the blasted egg. That little thing was not worth all of this effort!

"If I fall off I'm going to find the nearest rabbit and strangle it." I muttered, and began shuffling along again.

Finally it was within reach and I bent down to get it. Once it was safely in my grip I started to move back, when the branch decided that it couldn't take my weight any longer.

There was a cracking noise and I grabbed onto the branch above me with my free hand as the branch I was standing on snapped.

Great. Just great. I thought as I watched the branch fall. Now how am I going to get back without breaking my neck?

"Are you alright Jackie?"

"Never better!" I called back down at Jamie, getting more and more irritated with the whole thing.

I carefully put the egg between my teeth and began moving hand over hand back to the tree trunk. From there it was easy.

I dropped down onto the ground and the kids erupted into cheers as I spat out the egg. In a stupid moment I decided to hold it aloft like a trophy. Not much of a trophy in my opinion, but if you looked at these kids you'd think I'd won the Olympics or something. Their enthusiasm was infectious though, and I couldn't help but grin as well.

They insisted I kept the egg, since I hadn't found any and I'd done all of the work. Shaking my head I retrieved my coat and walked back over to Mrs Bennett, still holding the egg. She'd clearly been watching the whole thing as her mouth was hanging open and her face was a little pale.

"I got an egg!" I declared, laughing despite myself. "Happy now?"

Hey! First one shot! As you can tell this actually takes place in the first arc, but anyway.

My plan with these is to try and upload the existing one shots in chronological order, how well that goes depends on how many more one shots pop into my head or get requested, because I'm open to requests.
