Hey guys, I know it's been a little while. But my teachers decided to dump all these final projects on us, and I started working again, so I've been a little swamped. I still plan on trying to update once a week, so you don't have to wait too long. Now, to the story!

Bunny: But you still haven't said what happens between me and-

Kitkat: *clamps hand over Bunny's mouth* Shh! Now onto the story!

No one quite understood why Bunny disliked the Groundhog. Maybe it was just the way he held his nose high in a pompous way, or maybe it was how he thought himself better than other animal spirits. Maybe it was just the way he made winter last longer than spring, for no other reason than to annoy the poor Pooka. Or maybe Bunny just didn't like groundhogs in general.

No one really knows. No one would probably ever know, if Bunny had a say in the matter. The reasoning wasn't really a big deal, and even Bunny didn't quite know why he still held a grudge against the Groundhog. But it all started a long time. Well, maybe not that long ago.

The scene opens to show a small city with a certain Easter Bunny running around, sniffing the air and turning his ears back and forth as though he were searching for something. Or someone. He stands up quickly before taking off with a determined look on his face, indicating that he has found his target.

As he runs through the city, he is careful not to take the main roads in case a child believer spots him. Though he loved the little anklebiters, he had a mission and could not afford to be distracted. No matter what.

Bunny ran through the Bradford Woods of Pennsylvania, doggidly avoiding small animals and other obstacles as he made his way toward the target. Said target was well aware of the approaching Pooka as well as his intentions.

Which could only end badly for the poor unsuspecting party involved. Said party was currently in Burgess, unaware of the date, giving children a snow day.

"Get ya're sorry arse out here, Robin!" Bunny shouted as he came to a stop right next to the Groundhog's 'famous' burrow. The groundhog heard the Pooka from underground and smiled slyly to himself before putting on a mask of confusion and climbed up his ladder to the surface.

Bunny impatiently tapped his foot as he saw his target pull himself out of the entrance. Robin was dressed in a nice velvety vest, an ivory-colored ascot, and a matching gold monocle and pocket watch.

"Why, whatever is the matter, Bunnymund?" Robin asked. Bunny growled in response. "So hostile. I wonder what I did to deserve that."

"Ya know bloody well what's the matter, you no good ratbag! Ya said winter was over!" Bunny shouted. Robin blinked before smiling and shaking his head.

"My good alien friend- don't give me that look. You are one, aren't you? Anyways, I did in fact say it was. But you cannot blame me for what that elf boy does,' Robin replied. Bunny looked at him expantly; Robin smirked inwardly. Everything was playing out the way he had thought it would. "You don't know?"

"Know what?"

"About the new Winter Spirit, Jack Frost, of course! The boy is a nuisance with no sense of responsibility. He does not care for anyone but himself, and spreads winter well after the time I said it was over. He is the one you should be angry with," Robin stated firmly. Now, he knew it wasn't fair to blame Jack. Especially seeing as how Gaia had said that winter was to be extended an extra six weeks.

But Robin knew the Pooka wouldn't believe him without proof. And as he didn't want to deal with Bunny's temper, he just deflected the blame. Surely no one would notice if the lonely Frost boy was told off.

"A'right. If ya're not being honest…." Bunny left the threat hanging. Robin gulped silently and nodded in affirmation. "See ya 'round then."

Bunny muttered to himself before he made his way to Burgess to teach a certain Winter Spirit a lesson. It would be over fifty years before the Guardian of Hope ever discovered the truth.

This all took place on April 14th, 1968. Easter Sunday, to be exact.

AN: I portray him a little differently in this oneshot than in Bunny's Springflower. In this version, he is arrogant, vain, and rude. This chapter is based on Bunny chanting "please not the groundhog, please not the groundhog" with his paws crossed when Manny was choosing a new Guardian. Leave a review if you enjoyed or have a request! Hope you enjoyed! Get it? Hope because Bunny's the Guardian of Hope?

Jack: It's not funny if you have to explain it.

Kitkat: -_- Whatever.

Kitkat Out!
