Happy Easter everyone!
"I can't believe so many people came," Regina said, looking around at the group of town members that had gathered together.
"Isn't it great?" Snow asked, practically jumping with excitement. "This egg hunt is going to be the best thing ever!"
Squealing with excitement, Snow went to find David. "She's way too excited about this," Emma said, coming to stand with Regina.
Regina laughed. "You think? I'm waiting for her to just start telling everyone where the eggs are hidden just so she doesn't have to wait."
"She's not the only one who hid them," Emma said. "But yes, she would be the easiest one to break."
"Everyone ready?" David shouted. The whole group cheered. The pair with the most eggs at the end of the hunt didn't really win anything except bragging rights and all of the candy in the eggs, but the town was still excited about it.
"I would say that for once our town is doing something normal, but this is not normal," Regina said. "Whole towns don't do egg hunts."
Emma shrugged. "Depends on the size of the town. For a town this small, it's completely normal."
"The rules are simple," David said. "No stealing anyone else's eggs from their baskets. No asking the judges where the eggs are hidden. And lastly, have fun!"
The town cheered. They were ready to get out there and have some fun. And win some free candy in the process.
David fired a blank into the sky, setting off all of the teams. They all ran in different directions, each one going to a separate part of the park. Plants were pushed aside and shoes stomped on the grass as people frantically searched for any eggs.
The day dragged on and on, people searching even harder now that most of the easy ones had been found.
"Found one!" Emma said happily, holding up a bright pink plastic egg. "How many do we have now?"
Regina held out the basket she was holding, counting the eggs as Emma added hers in. "15 now. We're on a roll."
Emma chuckled and continued her searching. "It also pays off when your partner happens to have experience tracking people."
"I knew that was going to come in handy someday," Regina said, smirking. "Who knew your skills would be used for an egg hunt?"
"Seriously?" Emma groaned, looking up a tree. "That's just rude."
"Bet that one was your mother," Regina said. "She loves climbing trees."
"Not everyone does," Emma mumbled before begrudgingly climbing the tree to get the purple egg at the top. "16!"
Regina caught the egg as Emma dropped it, setting it nicely into the basket. "I have no doubt that we're winning."
"Of course," Emma said, jumping down to the ground. "We never lose. Come on, it looks like the person hiding this batch went this way next."
"Shouldn't we be letting some of the little kids get some of these?" Regina asked, following behind Emma. For once she had chosen to wear flats instead of heels, knowing that she would be chasing Emma all day.
"They got all of the easy ones," Emma said. "Now it's our job to get the harder ones. We're gonna win this thing."
After the final count had been made, it was revealed that Emma and Regina had, in fact, won. With a grand total of 30 eggs, they beat Henry and Violet by 2.
"Told you that we would win," Emma said.
"I don't think that using your skills from your old job is entirely fair to everyone else playing," Regina said.
Emma shrugged. "Worth it!"
