Camille POV

The rest of March flew by as did the beginning of April. Before we knew it Easter was here. Moose and I didn't have time to make it home for Easter and back for classes again so we decided to celebrate Easter the Pirate way. Anala and I were in charge of the cooking, the Ticks were in charge of the games, and Moose and Jason were in charge of the egg hunt. That's right. Though we are all adults Moose was adamant that we have an Easter egg hunt.

That would be why I am currently standing in the middle of an aisle staring at any kind of plastic egg one could ever need.

"Cam, do you think five bags will be enough?"

Laughing I looked at him. "Moose, really? How many are in each bag?"

"There are only 20 in each bag."

I couldn't contain my laughter. Moose looked at me and just shook his head.

"I want this to be the best egg hunt ever Cam."

"Okay. Let's think this through. Where are you going to hide all those eggs?"

"I am the master egg hider. Have no fear, the eggs will disappear!" After that line Moose couldn't hold back his grin.

"I think 100 are plenty but if you want more get more."

Moose turned to the shelf and started to put bags of eggs into our cart. I noticed he stopped after five, thank goodness!

Clapping his hands together he announced we now needed to move an aisle over so he could select the candy. I was beginning to sense this might take forever.

Thirty minutes later we emerged from the store with 100 plastic eggs and 8 bags of candy. Moose wanted to buy something for each of us to put our collected eggs into but decided the guys wouldn't go for holding baskets. I suggested we just use bags and he was okay with that.

The next day Moose took everything over to the Vault so he and Jason could stuff the eggs. I was sad (insert sarcasm) I had class and couldn't make it to view that.

Moose POV

To say I was excited for Easter this year would be an understatement. My mom was disappointed I wouldn't be coming home but she knew the semester was almost over and I would be home for the summer.

Cam and I were on our way over to the Vault to help prep for tomorrow's festivities. The eggs were already prepped but Jason and I were going to talk strategy for our hiding spots. Cam and Anala were going to go and get the final ingredients for our feast as well.

When we got to the Vault it appeared no one was home. I looked in the Speaker room and Cam checked out the other rooms. We met up in the living room and confirmed no one was here.

The wise Chameleon thought we should check downstairs and see if they were at the club. Sure enough, we found the Ticks, Twins, and Jason on the dance floor. The club wasn't open yet so they were enjoying the open floor.

I quickly joined them and ended up battling Jason for fun. Sometime during that time Cam took off to the store with Anala.

We all headed back upstairs after a few more songs. Jason and I broke off from the group so we could tackle our game plan for tomorrow.

"Did you make sure no one took any of the eggs?" I asked him.

"Moose, no one took any and I think you are the only one who would." He chuckled.

"Alright, let's get down to business. We need to make this the hardest egg hunt any of them have ever encountered."

Jason sat back, crossed his arms, and gave me an amused look. "Tell me what you have in mind."

"Height is important. I think we should make sure we have some low to the ground, mid-eye level, and higher than anyone can reach. Three different levels should be good."

"Three levels, okay that sounds good. Anything else?"

"To make it challenging I think they should only be able to collect one color. So like Cam would find all the yellow eggs and Anala could find the blue ones, and so on."

"That's actually a really good idea. Do we know how many we have of each color?"

"No, we could count to make sure it's even though."

Jason nodded his head. "How about moving objects? Are we going to hide them in, under, and between things?"

I was getting really excited! "Oh yeah! Anything goes!"

"Okay, sounds like a plan. Are we hiding them before dinner or after?"

This was very important… "Jason think about the guys. If we hid them before dinner all they would be doing is looking and scanning the rooms for them. It wouldn't be fair. No, we'll have everyone leave for a little while and we'll hide them."

Camille POV

Jason and Moose were still locked away discussing tomorrow's egg hunt. I thought it was cute how serious Moose was taking this. I hope it turns out the way he imagines.

Anala and I decided to go with a traditional meal for tomorrow. We will make a ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, corn, and rolls. For dessert we picked up some apple pie and ice cream. The best part of this is the dinner won't take much effort to put together. The guys will think we slaved away but really it's a simple meal to put together.

As soon as we had put everything away Moose and Jason entered the kitchen.

"Did you ladies get everything you needed?" Jason asked.

Anala turned around and nodded her head. "Yeah, I think we did. We picked up some snacks for tomorrow too."

Moose, aka the bottomless pit, perked up when he heard that. "Any chance we could sample some of those today?" He asked with a smile. He started to walk towards the cupboards.

"Nope," I said shaking my head. "You stay away from anything that can be digested. You have to wait until tomorrow."

He gave me a fake pout and lowered his head.

"Moose, not going to work." I chuckled.

He lifted his head up and smiled. "A guys gotta try." He raised and lowered his shoulders.

"You ready to go?"

"Ready when you are Cam."

"We'll see you all tomorrow. Anala, you're in charge of guarding the food. Good luck!"

As we left the room I could hear her already shooing the guys away from the kitchen.

Moose POV

"Dinner was delicious, thanks ladies for a job well done!" I couldn't help but rub my stomach as I said this. Cam and Anala had prepared a fantastic meal and I had stuffed myself like usual.

"You're welcome. You can thank us further by washing the dishes." Anala looked to all the guys as she said this.

Groans were coming from the Twins and the Ticks.

"Guys, it's tradition that anyone who doesn't cook has to do the dishes. Let's just get this done because the quicker we finish, the quicker we can get to the hunt!" They all looked at me like I was crazy.

Jason started to clear the table and I got up to help him. Soon the other guys got up as well and we began to clean the kitchen. I think the girls used as many pots and pans as possible just to torture us.

The ladies had gone into the living room to relax and soon the guys had found a rhythm. About twenty minutes later we all entered the living room and I was ready to get the egg hunt prepped.

I cleared my throat to get everyone's attention. "Here's the deal people, you all need to head downstairs while Jason and I hide all the eggs. When we are done we'll come get you. "

Cam spoke up. "Do you really think it's necessary for us to leave? Can't we just hang out in one of the rooms and promise not to look?"

"No, we are hiding them everywhere and some of you will cheat." I looked over at the Twins as I said that last line.

They threw their hands up in the air as if in surrender. "Hey, you can't know for sure if we would." They smiled.

Anala stood up off the couch. "Come on, let's just get this over with."

After everyone had gone Jason and I started hiding the 100 eggs. We hid them in impossible places and I grew even more excited as I hid each egg. As soon as the last egg was hid I grabbed the bags and headed downstairs.

Camille POV

We were all too full to do anything but sit around and relax. It felt like forever but about twenty-five minutes later Jason and Moose walked into the club. Moose had the biggest grin and I couldn't help but smile when I saw him. I loved that he was a kid at heart even if it meant doing something I hadn't done since I was like six.

"Okay, here are the rules. Everyone has one color they are looking for and can only collect those eggs. You cannot help each other by telling someone if you found an egg they are looking for. Everyone has 16 eggs they have to find. There are four golden eggs and anyone can grab those. Does everyone understand?"

I looked around and everyone shook their heads. It seemed they all switched into competition mode as they had serious looks on their faces.

We headed upstairs and Moose let us loose. It was hilarious watching everyone run around frantically looking everywhere. I had an idea that Moose probably hid things at different levels so I started looking up first knowing everyone else would look at height level or lower.

Thirty exhausting minutes later we all joined up in the living room to see how we did. The Ticks had each found theirs within the first fifteen minutes which left the Twins, Anala, and I to finish. Anala was the third to finish finding hers but she kept looking for a golden egg. The Twins followed soon after in finding all sixteen eggs but also kept looking for a golden egg. After twenty minutes I was only looking for one more red egg. I was getting really frustrated and wanted to give up.

I heard Moose call from another room that all four golden eggs had now been found.

I went to find Moose and ask for help. Turns out he wasn't much help. Eventually we all gave up looking for that last red egg and began to enjoy the spoils of our finds. Inside the eggs was enough candy to last someone a lifetime. I gladly shared mine with Moose because I wasn't much of a candy eater, though I didn't share any of the chocolate.

We spent the rest of the night playing games and just enjoying each other's company. Eventually it was time for Moose and I to head back to campus. I promised to return the next day to find that last egg but the guys said it wasn't a big deal. They thought it was sure to show up eventually.
