North brought us down the elevator.
"Bunny is right." He stated as we reached the bottom. "As much as it pains me to say old friend, this time Easter is more important than Christmas!"
"Hey! Did everyone hear that?!" Bunnymund shouted to us.
"I didn't hear anything." Was my remark.
"We must hurry to the Warren. Everyone, to the sleigh!" North cheered.
"Ohh no, mate." Bunnymund hopped in front of North. "My warren my rules. Buckle up."
He tapped his foot on the ground.
"Shostakovich!" North gasped.
When the others dropped from the hole, I expected to have to stop flying to follow.
Nope.
The hole sucked me in.
Bunnymund we will have WORDS! WORDS I say!
==CR==
Nevermind this is the best rollercoaster of my life!
I screamed at another loop-de-loop.
The others were screaming too but they sounded less excited.
Soon, the tunnel spat us out onto the grass. I was rolling around, laughing off the adrenaline.
"'Buckle up'. Is very funny." North remarked.
"Welcome to the Warren-" Bunnymund cheered, as I got back to the air. The bunny tensed, looking around the warren. "Something's up."
That got all of us tense.
I pulled out my blade. My eyes darted around to find the threat.
From one of the other tunnels a crowd of tiny white eggs ran out in panic.
The Guardians went into defense positions. Jack readied his staff.
Bunnymund sounded a battle cry.
We charged at the tunnel, ready to fight the foe.
...until a small human child ran out of the tunnel.
"Sophie?" Jack asked.
"You know this tiny human?" I asked him.
Jack nodded, confused. "Yeah. She's Jamie's baby sister."
At that, everyone put their weapons away.
The little blonde child only giggled. She dropped the three eggs she was carrying deciding to chase an elf. "Elf, elf, elf!"
"What is SHE doing HERE!?" Bunnymund asked.
North suddenly winced. He reached into his coat. "Ah, snow globe."
I smacked my face.
"Crikey! Somebody do something!" Bunnymund pleaded while chasing the tiny human.
"Don't look at me, I'm invisible, remember?" Jack reminded them.
"Same." I pointed out, floating so that my hair was falling.
Meanwhile, the child had caught her prey. She was dragging the elf away by the hat.
"Don't worry, Bunny. I bet she's a fairy fan." Tooth flew up to the child while I righted myself.
"This is gonna be good for a laugh." I commented, making Jack grin in agreement. He leaned on his staff to watch.
"It's okay little one." Tooth assured.
The child giggled. "Pretty!"
"Awww! You know what, I got something for you. Here it is." Tooth held out her palm to the child. "Look at all the pretty teeth with little blood and gum on them."
The child blinked, before screaming and running away.
"Blood and gums? When was the last time you guys actually hung out with kids?" jack asked.
The child ran up to a giant stone egg, where white eggs had run away. "Peek-a-boo!"
I went up beside the child.
"We are very busy bringing joy to children! We don't have time-" North paused. "-for children."
Jack made a snowflake for this child. She giggled as it floated around her head.
Suddenly inspired I took out an arrow, breaking it in half and breaking those pieces in pieces. Once they were broken enough, I put my hands in a ball and blew on them. Opening my hands, revealed dozens of tiny red hearts. Blowing another breath, the hearts floated towards the child.
She giggled at them, and the snowflakes. She jumped to grab at them. The snowflake breezed past her.
"If one little kid can ruin Easter, then...we're in worse shape than I thought." Jack mused.
The snowflake hit Bunnymund right on the nose.
So I waited for the fallout, for his irritated face.
Instead Bunnymund grinned wide, a twinkle in his eyes.
==CR==
White eggs continued to walk along the pathways.
I floated with Tooth, watching as the eggs became doosed with pastel coloring.
"Am I the only one who's thinking 'what if I crush one?'" Tooth gave me a look. "What! It's just a question!"
"Alright troops, it's time to push back. That means eggs! Everywhere!" Bunnymund shouted to us all.
==CR==
"Heaps of you in every high-rise, farm house and trailer park!" Bunnymund continued as the eggs fell into a colorful lake. "In tennis shoes and cereal bowls! Oh, there will be bathtubs filled with my beautiful goodies!"
An elf standing at the mouth of the river was pushed in by the oncoming crowd of eggs. I thought it was cool. I flew down to the lake, running my hand along the top of the river. My hand came back covered in swirls of purple and blue.
North picked up one of the eggs from the river.
"Okay, that's little strange."
"Naw, mate-" Bunnymund spoke up. I turned to him, dropping my jaw at the image before me. "That's adorable."
'I got three words for that, and they can't be said in front of children.'
The egg parade marched on.
"There will be springtime! On every continent! And I'm bringing hope with me!" Bunnymund announced.
I shook my head, flying out after the eggs or something that made more sense than a Bunnymund high on Jack's magic.
"Too Christmas-y, mate, paint 'em blue." Bunnymund told a yeti, who had just painted over a hundred eggs bright red.
Flying to the end of the parade, I saw Sophie giggling as she showed off a colored egg she'd 'found'.
"That's a beauty!" Bunnymund praised the find. He offered his paw to the child, who took it with a giggle. "Now all we gotta do is get him and his little mates through the tunnels, to the top, and we'll have ourselves Easter."
Jack walked up. Sophie yawned, curling up with in Bunnymund's arms. The child giggled tiredly.
"Not bad." Jack complimented.
"You did good, rabbit." I added.
"Not bad yourselves." Bunnymund praised back.
"Look, I'm sorry about that whole, you know, the 'kangaroo' thing." Jack apologized.
"It's the accent, isn't it?" Bunnymund asked, grinning. The other Guardians walked up behind us. They cooed at the sleeping child. "Ah, poor little ankle-biter. Look at her, all tuckered out."
"I love her!" Tooth chirped.
I took the child from Bunnymund, smiling down at her face.
"I think it's time to get her home." Tooth spoke up what everyone wished they weren't thinking.
"How about I take her home?" Jack offered.
"Jack, no! Pitch is-" Tooth interjected.
"-no match for this." Jack waved his staff.
"Which is why we need you here, with us." Bunnymund pointed out.
"I'm helping." Came my statement.
"Cupid, you-"
"-won't let this child go. Look at her, she's happy and she's sleeping. Wake a sleeping child, and die." I advised.
The Guardians were unsure.
"Trust me, we'll be quick as a bunny." Jack winked at them.
He flew down one of the tunnels. I followed behind him, keeping Sophie close so she wouldn't wake up.
