Spring

~0~0~0~

In spring, when woods are getting green,

I'll try and tell you what I mean

~0~0~0~

Oh joy, today was the day! It was a time when Rabbit would come out of his shell, and be silly. It was also the date that a certain orange critter looked for all year. Today was Easter.

A few years ago was Roo's first time Easter egg hunting; or doing anything, for that matter. He had never once had all the treats it reaped; and, he had never played all of the silly games. Heck, it was his first Easter day experience! And while the hare focused on the organization part of it, Tigger just wanted the young kangaroo to have fun!

However…the year after that was the first year Rabbit enjoyed himself. Sure, at first he pouted and told everyone there would be no celebration. Yet, then he had a change of heart. And the next thing the gang saw was a happy bunny. Correction: A happy EASTER bunny.

Since that day, it has been the same. While the yellow animal acted stuck up and prideful most of the year, this day he would throw everything out the window. He would frolic about, he would bounce. My dears, he was even more open with the tiger! So while Tigger liked Roo having merriment, he enjoyed it even more for that reason.

"Tigger! What are you doing standing here? You still haven't found your striped egg."

The orange critter smiled, "Sorry about that, Ra-Ra. I was-a just ponder-inking to myself."

"Well, there is plenty of time to do that later." The older male put one arm around the tiger's shoulder, and used the other hand to dangle an object over their heads. "But, ah! Look what we have here!"

Tigger was utterly confused.

"Uh, Long Ears…That's missilie-toes. Ain't that for Christy-miss time?"

Rabbit's dark eyes sparkled with glee. He brought himself closer to the youth. "Now now, Tigger, you're forgetting. Today is EASTER, and I'm the EASTER BUNNY. I make up the rules."

It was truly Tigger's favorite day of the year. At least, that's what he thought as he got a quick peck on the lips. Indeed, he already couldn't wait for the next spring.
