Making Eggs – Dropping off Sophie:

Everyone went inside the inner Warren to help Bunny prepare the eggs.

Sophie and Bunny watched as a brand new white egg with feet emerges from a bloomed flower before it jumped down to join the others.

"You wanna paint some eggs? Yeah?" Bunny already knew what Sophie would say.

Sophie jumped around excitedly eagerly answering "Okay!"

"Come on then," Bunny encouraged.

An army of little white eggs with feet marched down the hill to be painted. North watching from in front was surprised at their huge number.

"Rimsky-Korsakov! That's a lot of eggs!"

Snowmoon was lying on a ledge in the wall with Jenna and Marcus sitting in front of him with their legs dangling over the side.

"I've never seen so many eggs in my life," Jenna remarked seeing them march further on to get painted.

"Get in line," Marcus added.

"Uh, how much time do we have?" Snowmoon asked.

Sophie was riding on Bunny's back as they darted around the eggs.

"Whee!" Sophie went enjoying the ride.

Her furry steed went "Hoo-ooh!"

The eggs went under flowers that sprayed the colors of blue, gold and pink to give them their main body coatings. After that they were walking around dozens of short stone stumps.

"All right, troops, it's time to push back!" Bunny commanded to his little eggs.

Sophie giggled as the eggs moved her down the hill and North standing on two stone stumps waved at from above as she was carried underneath him.

"That means eggs everywhere! Heaps of you in every high rise, farm house, and trail'r park! In tennis shoes and cereal bowls! Oh, there'll be bathtubs filled with my beautiful googies!" Bunny went on.

The eggs went through a tunnel and came to a river of slow-flowing purple paint.

An elf pushed an egg into the river of paint before mocking it with a dance nyah-nyah face as his bell jingles. But his moment was cut off by more eggs coming out from behind him and pushing him into the river along with themselves as they jumped in.

One egg was floating with his eggs in the air so North picked it up and complimented with "Okay, that's little strange,"

"No, mate," Bunny corrected. He was cradling a half dozen of his painted googies whilst being surrounded by different colored butterflies. "That's adorable,"

Jenna and Marcus walked to the river and absorbed all the eggs still painting themselves. "Those eggs are so pretty," Jenna admitted. "Those kids are going to love them,"

"I bet they are," Marcus agreed. The two were chuckling for a bit – they gave a brief smile at each other but more eggs came from behind them and nearly pushed Jenna by her feet into the river.

Marcus caught her and twirled her a bit to the other side by the back of her waist.

They were both smiling at each other only for it to be cut off by, "Ah, hem," they slowly turned and saw Snowmoon with a sharp eyed face and Tooth with a questioning face.

"What's going on here?" Tooth asked.

"Nothing," Marcus quickly helped Jenna stand up. "We're good,"

The eggs marched out of the river with new colors along with the fallen elf who immediately like his new colors – especially what his tongue looked like.

"There will be Springtime! On every continent!" Bunny proclaimed hopping onto one rock and lifting his arms into the air. "And I'm bringing Hope with me!"

For the final stage of their coloring, the eggs slide through some plants with iridescent paint secreting from them, so that they'd have spirals and swirls on them too. The painted elf wanted designs on himself and squeezed through one to get it. The brown yeti watching him was entertained.

The same yeti with the robots was painting eggs a rich red.

"Too Christmas-y, mate. Paint 'em blue," Bunny ordered passing by in a blur. He hated red.

The yeti was exasperated and kneeled over to bash his head on the ground. Why couldn't Bunny have told him sooner?

Bunny and Sophie were at the opening near the Dispatch area. "Ooh, what's over there?" Bunny asked Sophie.

Sophie's eye widened in excitement again and she walked over to pick up one fully painted egg. "Whoa ho ho!" She held it up for Bunny to see/

"Oh oh oh! That's a beauty!" Bunny happily commented. "Now all we gotta do is get him and his little mates through the tunnels, to the top, and we'll have ourselves Easter. He held Sophie's hand and led her through the opening to the Dispatch Area. There they could see all of the eggs heading into the tunnels each with a continent painted above its opening.

They crouched down to watch the eggs start making their journey up the surface.

Snowmoon and Jenna came out and crouched down to give them company. Sophie got tired and climbed in Bunny's warm hands to get some rest.

"Not bad," Jenna said.

Bunny replied bac, "Not bad, yourself,"

"Ah, look, I- I'm sorry about the whole- you know, the "kangaroo" thing?" Jenna awkwardly apologized.

"I'm sorry as well," Snowmoon added himself into his rider's apology.

"It's the accent, isn't it?" Bunny completely understood.

"Yes, it is," Snowmoon answered. "And sorry I called you, 'a dumb rabbit' earlier,"

"I won't call 'Snowmonk' or 'dumb dragon' either, Snowmoon," Bunny promised. "And I'm sorry about what I said earlier back at the palace, Jenna,"

"Apology accepted," Jenna replied sweetly.

There were friendly smiles between everyone before North, Marcus and Tooth show up.

"Ah, poor little ankle-biter. Look at 'er, all tuckered out," Bunny rocked Sophie a bit as she slept.

"I love her," Tooth spoke motherly whilst Baby Tooth chittered. "I think it's time to get her home,"

"How about Snowmoon and I take her home?" Jenna offered.

"Jenna, no, Pitch and his dragon are out there—"Marcus warned.

"He's no match for me and Snowmoon," Jenna assured gesturing to her staff and her dragon.

"Which is why we need you two here, with us," Bunny explained.

"Trust us, I'll fly quicker than we were in our race," Snowmoon's answer made the Guardians think for a moment and they agreed. Tooth asked Baby Tooth to go with them just in case. Bunny gave Sophie to Jenna and she hopped onto Snowmoon. Baby Tooth flew to nest up in the collar of Jenna's poncho. Jenna did not mind at all.

Snowmoon ttook off flying faster than the wind.

They flew to Burgass where Snowmoon perched on the roof. Jenna hopped off his back taking Sophie with her. She opened the window, tiptoed inside and laid Sophie on her bed. She pulled the blanket over her and tucked her in comfortably with a toy.

She stepped back outside onto the roof closing the door.

"We should get back," Jenna told Baby Tooth still nestled in her collar and Snowmoon whilst walking up to him.
