Hi everyone, been a crazy year but finally its Easter so of course our Princess will do an egg hunt with her cool older brothers. Enjoy and Happy Easter.
I decided since the guys are three years younger in this series they can be more juvenile. I am going to start using them more. Nick is very mischievous here. As always if you want to know what they look like go to you tube and look up 'Time for me to fly' but it's the live showing.
Francesca I haven't figured out yet as I can't draw very well. I wonder if any of you could draw Frank Jonas as a girl for me. Since she is the female version of him. Her hair is shoulder length and curly like Denise's.
Francesca Lucas always seemed to awake cheerful. Well most of the time, she did get sick and sometimes was grumpy but today she was cheerful.
The five year rubbed her eyes and smiled at the chirping outside her open window.
She loved the springtime. It was warm outside again and all the snow was gone so the pretty animal and flowers were returning.
Spring also meant Easter which was today. As she was only five she didn't understand the holiday but she knew it had something to do with Jesus or something like that.
But she didn't care she didn't get everything. Frankie figured she'd learn it someday. She knew today she'd get lots of chocolate in a basket from the Easter bunny.
Then she, Nicky, Joey and Kevy, her awesome big brothers, would all search for eggs he hid. All were plastic with toys, candy or sometimes a dollar inside.
She walked out of her room carrying her five year old teddy bear Frankie bear. At the table were four baskets. Three were blue and one was a pretty pink.
She ran for the pink but before she could touch it her feet left the ground.
Frankie let out a yelp as her small body was lifted. She was turned and placed on the hip of her father who gave her a mischievous smile.
"Trying to sneak a piece of chocolate before breakfast young lady?" he asked and she shrugged.
"You caught me daddy, take me to jail" she said and held out her wrists making him chuckle.
"I do every year since you could walk" he teased and kissed her cheek.
"Come on lets move these off so we can eat then you all may eat one piece after, you can have a few more after lunch" Tom suggested.
He took hers off and she carried it to the living room. She then noticed the stuffed bunny waiting for her.
"Daddy may I least hug my new bunny?" she asked and Tom nodded and the girl squished it lovingly.
"His name will be Tommy after you" she said and Tom smiled.
"Thank you princess, I love it" he said.
"Morning dad….hey squirt"
The two turned to see Nick behind them. He yawned and ran a hand through his messy hair as he used the other to ruffle Frankie's.
"Morning lazy bones, I'm up before you again" she greeted back and the thirteen year old smirked at her.
"Sorry, I forgot your perfect, least I am the third awake" he said.
"Fourth, your mom is just in the shower" Tom replied.
"Okay, I beat our brothers then" Nick gloated.
"Not this time, I was almost in the bathroom just as you were sitting up" Kevin corrected coming down the middle pole.
Nick pouted and he ruffled his hair. "Least you beat danger, he is still snoring" he said and Nick chuckled.
He glanced at Frankie. "Not for long right sis?" he asked and she nodded.
She ran to her room and less than a minute later came back holding two water guns that still had a little water inside.
Nick shook it. "I think some nice cold water should be used" he said with a devious smirk.
Frankie nodded in agreement and taking his hand, she led him to the kitchen sink and stood on her stool.
She filled them both with very cold water and led the way upstairs.
She then turned at the stairs. "Did you want to help Kevy? I couldn't carry three" she asked sweetly.
Kevin shook his head. "No thanks, I'll help dad set the table" he said and the two youngsters scampered up the stairs.
They quietly tiptoed to Joe's bed just as he turned over onto his back with a loud snore.
Nick and Frankie pumped their gun and with a wink at each other let loose the water straight at Joe's face.
He screamed and the two high fived as Joe sat up. His hair dripped and shivering he glared at his little siblings.
"Ha ha very funny….can't just wake me normally can you?" he asked and the two shook their heads.
"This is normal Joey bear, come on breakfast time" Frankie said.
"You two go, I now need a hot shower as I am freezing cold and wet" he said and the two ran off.
"It'll also give me time to come up with revenge" he muttered as he ran for the bathroom.
Ten minutes later he came down a pole dressed.
"You screamed like a girl" Kevin mocked and Joe glared at him. "Okay bro let me squirt freezing cold water at you and see what you scream like" he replied and Kevin shook his head.
"No thanks, besides I wasn't in on it was all those two" he said.
"Thanks bro" both said simultaneously.
Joe turned and smiled at them. "Oh it's okay I forgive them" he said and both gulped.
"Why then am I scared of him?" Frankie whispered to Nick who nodded.
After the four ate their French toast they each had their candy. Nick and Frankie kept together though as Joe kept up his creepy smiling.
When the egg hunt came they left the house to the church as they held it every year for kids three to sixteen.
As a lot more came this year they went for teams of two as it was forty kids doing the hunt.
Nick and Frankie held hands so Joe took Kevin and before they started the priest made his usual announcement.
"For those who are new, there is one golden egg out there with a very special prize now best of luck, top three teams get prizes" he said and blew his whistle.
The egg hunt was forty-five minutes but the Lucas's never wasted time and soon had found a few eggs.
Joe still wanted his revenge but hadn't come up with a thing. He thought of water balloons but he didn't want to harm his siblings. Not really.
As he and Kevin split up he went under a bush and found the golden egg.
Joe smiled as he got out and saw Frankie was close by. He opened the egg and took the prize.
As it was a special egg, the special prize was a small statue of a bunny with a basket.
He then felt his pockets for a replacement and found a yo-yo. It was perfect.
He then put the egg back but let a small part peek out and scooted away to another egg a child missed.
Frankie saw it and ran to the prize.
"I…." she began but stuck a look at her bro and shut her mouth.
"What?" Joe asked and she shook her head. "Oh nothing Joey" she said and ran away with the egg. Joe chuckled proudly.
Soon the hunt ended and thanks to Joe's stalling, he and Kevin didn't even place.
Nick and Frankie got third which was two chocolate eggs. Second was two little chocolate bunnies and first was two giant chocolate bunnies.
Frankie was more interested in her golden egg and asked Nick to open it. He did and frowned at the yo-yo but handed it to her.
She took it and frowned too. "But….this is…this is just a cheap yo-yo" she said.
Nick nodded as he opened a regular egg and found a smaller one. "A yo-yo isn't very special" he agreed and Frankie suddenly had tears down her cheeks.
"Why….why would…why would they do that Nicky?" she stuttered as she cried.
Nick shrugged and reached down for her hand. "Let's go find father Ryan and ask" he suggested as the family knew him from being part of the church.
Father Ryan was confused too. "I think someone stole your money sweetheart" he said kindly. Frankie nodded and let her tears fall quietly.
"I'm sorry sweetie, the prize was a small rabbit statue I picked up myself" he said softly.
"Someone took a child's prize, that's low" Nick muttered angrily. He bent and picked up Frankie to cuddle her.
Joe and Kevin had followed but Joe hung back. As Kevin rubbed Frankie's back he sighed.
He took out the rabbit from his pocket but instead of facing them he ran off ashamed.
Kevin looked up then and noticed. "I think I know who our thief is, he must have taken it as revenge" he said.
Frankie looked up and wiped her eyes. "Joey took it? For this morning?" she asked and Kevin nodded.
"He must have ran off because Frankie was crying and he felt bad" Nick commented.
Frankie nodded. "Put me down Nicky please" she said and then took off running.
The two followed with father Ryan and found the missing boy in the church.
He was sitting in the last seat fiddling with the rabbit. "Wanna trade?"
Joe turned his head and nodded. "I'm sorry sis, was just a joke" he whispered and took back his yo-yo.
Frankie nodded as she had stopped crying on the run. Her nose was still runny and before she could wipe it with her hand Joe grabbed it and took her to the bathroom and cleaned her up.
He carried her out with Frankie cuddling him. "I forgives you Joey, it was kinda funny now I knows it was you" she said as she clutched her bunny.
"Thanks kiddo, I'm glad I found you the rabbit, will look cute on your desk" he answered.
She pulled back and smiled. "Thanks Joey, I had a fun time did you?" she asked and he nodded.
"Everyday is fun that I get to spend with my favorite girl" he answered and Frankie grinned.
"You mean our favorite girl" Nick corrected. Joe nodded and put Frankie down.
Once she was down and Joe stood up straight Nick punched his shoulder.
He then smirked at him. "Do better revenge next time you dork" he said.
Joe rubbed his shoulder and glared at him. "Oh I will Nicholas" he said he put his arm around his bro and led him outside.
"Oh wait…forgot something in the bathroom" he said as they all were outside.
Joe had left a small water gun in the bathroom hiding it in the small plant.
He put it there after running from his siblings. He knew he would be in trouble but least he could squirt Nick.
He came out and let fire on his siblings getting all three. "Your right Nick water is more fun" he said as they ran from him.
Nick ran to their parents car and got open the trunk getting out three water guns and soon all four were soaked and were drying off in big towels that were also in the trunk.
It was just another normal day for the Lucas's
Happy Easter everyone.
