The next morning, Anya woke up to another beautiful day. The sun was streaming through the thin curtains, creating an aura of a soft pink around the room. Xander was still asleep of course. Yesterday he seemed to be very concerned for some reason. He wasn't very happy when she ate her chocolate egg, but why? What could be wrong with it? If there was something wrong with it, Buffy wouldn't have given it to her. Right?
Anya rubbed her eyes and lightly kissed Xander on the nose. She pulled the blankets off her feet to get out which is when she saw the blood. Blood was spread all across the bed. Red, warm, sticky blood. Xander woke up to Anya's scream, and he screamed as well before he jumped out of bed. He looked at all the blood, some of it even got on his own legs. He followed where the blood seemed to come from. From Anya.
"Anya! What happened, are you hurt?"
"No! I… I don't know!" Anya panicked. She stood up on the bed, blood pouring down her legs. They both looked down to where she laid, and found a small, colourful, perfectly sparkled egg.
"What… What is that?" Anya screamed.
"That small egg made all that blood?" Xander replied, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"No, I feel fine! I just… I don't understand. Is this supposed to happen?" she asked while wiping her forehead, smearing blood on herself.
"Is what supposed to happen? I don't know what's happening!" Xander panicked.
Anya picked up the egg. It was the same size as her chocolate egg from yesterday, but it weighed a little more.
"What is it?" Xander panted.
Anya looked at Xander, "That Easter egg didn't come from Buffy, did it?" she asked angrily.
"Um, of course!"
"Don't you lie to me, Xander. Look at what's happened already!"
"Okay! Okay, it didn't come from Buffy,"
"How could you lie to me?"
"An, I don't know who the egg came from! The only thing I could think of is –"
"- What?"
"The uh –"
"- The what?"
"The Easter Bunny!" Xander screamed. Anya stared at Xander in shock while still holding the small egg before fainting in the bed of blood.
...
"Is she going to be okay?" Willow asked.
"Yeah. She refused to go to the hospital, but I think she's fine, she fainted mostly from shock," Xander explained.
"Well, if there's anything else I can do," Willow said as she took Anya's shift at the Magic Shop cash register.
"Well, there is one thing," Xander said as he placed the small egg on the counter.
"Is that it?" Buffy asked, examining it closely.
"Yep. It seemed to have come out of her," Xander said, "Can you guys help find out what's going on? I don't think that was just chocolate she ate."
"Of course, we'll get right on it," Buffy and Willow assured as they all hit the books.
The three sat at the circular table, passing around books, flipping through pages, trying to find information on the egg that lay in the middle of the table. That was when it began to move.
"Guys!" Xander alerted.
They all looked at the egg. It wiggled in sudden movements, sparkles flying off at every jump. It began to crack, and all of a sudden, the egg exploded into dissolved pieces. Pink, sparkly dust clouded the middle of the table. As the dust faded away, sitting there on the table was a short, little bunny.
