Ok, so some people may not have noticed that I double posted chapters on Thursday and today due to knowing I would be out of town and unable to post, so please make sure you read all 4 of the last chapters.

After getting an explanation for why Cupid seemed to still be under the impression she was a guy Jack had decided she'd visit Bunny. Easter wasn't too far away and she had plans to make up for last year's disaster by seeing what she could help him with. Setting down in the warren she looks around for the giant rabbit that calls this place home.

"Bunny? You here?"

It doesn't take long for an answer to be made and soon Jack is hurrying off in the direction from which Bunny had called.

"Hey, thought I'd offer some help."

She noticed he was looking over some of the paint plants when she arrived and settled down at a comfortable distance.

"Well it's much appreciated Snowflake. I was actually going to be working on the chocolates that go into the baskets after checking over these plants. I could use a taste tester."

Jack grins broadly. "Well you found one!"

Bunny chuckles and waves for Jack to follow him as he leads her down into a series of tunnels before arriving at a chocolatier's paradise. The room was lined in stainless steel and marble with large boilers that kept the chocolate at the perfect temperatures before it was molded into whatever Bunny wanted to make. Jack looked around, her nose tickling with the smells of warm chocolate and the various things that went into it.

Bunny smiled at Jack's reaction, pulling a stool from a wall and over to a work table, where he patted it for her to sit on.

"Take a seat and give me a moment to get started."

"Alright, but are you sure I can't do anything more than taste test? This looks like it would be fun."

Bunny seems to contemplate the idea for a moment before shrugging. "Sure, let me show you how its done first."

And so he picks up a set of molds, rabbit shaped ones, and shows her how to fit the two halves together. He explains how the molds need to be held together tightly so the chocolate won't just run out and how you ladle the chocolate in with the help of the funnel shape at the top of each mold. He shows her how he periodically taps the mold to settle the chocolate and work out the air bubbles. Jack follows along well and is soon ladling the chocolate into a mold and doing as Bunny had instructed.

After filling the molds Bunny instructs her to set them aside and work on another set. She asks him why and he tells her the chocolate has to cool and set, firming up or it would fall apart when the mold was removed. He can see that during the second set she is a bit less enthusiastic about the whole affair.

"Why don't we try something else?"

Jack blinks at him but agrees and is led over to another table with the chocolate vat practically built into it. The table itself is marble and glass smooth. She sees Bunny pull out a few odd looking tools and set them on the table.

"This is a bit more of a free form type of chocolate. Usually I use this to make little details for some of the other chocolates, but I was thinking today we could just try painting with the chocolate."

"Painting?"

"Here, let me show you." He takes a large shallow spoon and dips it in the chocolate, drizzling it out onto the marble surface, creating swoops and swirls. His other hand is holding a broad flat metal scrapper that he uses to peal the design from the table top, curling it and coaching it into a shape. When he is done he sets it up and Jack sees he had been making a Christmas tree.

"I thought you didn't like Christmas?"

"Oi, if that's how you're gonna be then I guess I'll eat this one myself."

"No, no, I still want to try some of it."

That is how the rest of the afternoon continues on. Bunny only making the one Christmas tree though, the rest were flowers that he molded from the chocolate until he had a full bouquet of them. Jack tried her hand at some of the intricate looking designs but wound up frosting the chocolate into fern like shapes. She had fretted over the ruined chocolate shapes but Bunny simply scrapped them up and used them as leaves on his flowers.

"Not half bad Snowflake."

"You're just saying that cause you made my mess ups look good. They were supposed to be flower petals."

He ruffles her hair affectionately. "Doesn't matter. I reckon with these chocolate flowers we could probably show up that Cupid fellow."

"What do you mean?"

"Eh, he's always going on about how his creations are the most beautiful because he's all about romance. If he saw that bouquet we made, well he'd be right jealous."

Jack smiles. "I hadn't thought of that, but you're right. He doesn't even like it when I put down a light snowfall for the couples. Deny it all he wants its romantic to take a stroll through the snow cuddled up next to someone you love."

Bunny had turned to watch Jack as she talked about romantic walks in the snow and he couldn't help but notice how happy she looked thinking about it. He also began to wonder if she had ever done something like that with someone else. He quickly made sure to quash the tiny flame of jealousy that thought led to.

Short but sweet. Please leave a review.
