Easter:

(Okay, it's Post Easter, but who's up for an Easter themed one shot! I may base this off of some family traditions I've had for the past few years. So, hope you'll enjoy the chapter!)

Zeke awoke, excited! It was time for Easter! This would be one of the first Easters with Mom and Shermy. While Mom and Uncle Lou were busy cooking lamb chops, Dad, Shermy and Aunt Webs would be placing Easter eggs around the lawn.

That means a contest, between Tío Pepe and himself. In the meantime, time to see what his friends are up to this Easter.

Zeke: Happy Easter, g!

Marshall: Happy Easter

Akio: Happy Easter, my dudes.

Ari: Is Liv here, too? Happy Easter, you guys!

Liv: Right here! Happy Resurrection Day!

Ari: Res-uh what now?

Marshall: The day Jesus rose from the grave and defeated death.

Ari: Ohhhh. Thx, Mar-Mar.

Liv: Oooh, Ari and Mar-Mar?

Marshall: Please don't

Akio: Okay, so what's everyone for this holiday?

Zeke: my dad and aunt are setting up an Easter egg hunt right now

Zeke looked up from his phone and got up, he headed to the living room of Diane's apartment. "Happy Easter, Mom! Uncle Lou!" Shark was humming while cooking, "Oh, hi, honey. Happy Easter!" Diane said, Shark saying the same when he noticed. "Dad and Aunt Webs aren't finished setting up the eggs?" Zeke asked, knowing that Wolf and Tarantula went to the park for the aforementioned egg hunt. "They should be back in a little bit." Shark explained, flipping the lamb chops over.

(Meanwhile)

Wolf and Webs gazed upon the colorful plethora of plastic eggs. "Here, kitty, kitty!" Wolf said, trying to get the cat out of the tree. Shermy meowed, excitedly. "Okay, so, we're almost done?" Webs threw the last egg in-between a couple of rocks. "Yeah, we're good. I honestly thought these things would be heavier with the candy." Webs said, happy that her cardio's paying off.

"Okay, now let's just give the guys a call…" Wolf pulled out his phone, "Oh, perfect timing, cat." Webs tried to jump on top of Shermy's back, who growled, not liking the way Webs jumped on his back like that. "Oh, don't be like that. I was just joking." She said, jumping off of the cat's back.

(Meanwhile…she…still hasn't let it go)

Chief Misty Luggins was at it again, making sure the Bad Guys weren't getting into any trouble. Her passion to catch them was burning, intensely. "…Just what are you putting down, Wolf…and the Tarantula…" Chief whispered to herself, "They look like regular old eggs…but they could be potentially dangerous…"

(Back with the others at home)

Zeke, Piranha and Snake were busy playing Smash Bros. "That's not fair!" Piranha said, "You've said that about EVERY match, Tío!" Zeke shouted. "No way, that was YOU!" Tío shouted back, "I'm pretty sure I'm the one who said that…"

"There's no time for that, Snake!"

"There's no time for that, Uncle Hubert!"

The two shouted back at the slithering reptile. Snake shook back, wide-eyed when he saw that they were in competitive mode right now. "Sheesh, you two get too caught up in this game."

"Yes, I dodged!" Zeke said, happy he was made it passed his Tío's attack. "Why can't I just use Sephy's fire to evaporate your weird ink?!" Piranha shouted, "That's not how that works!" Zeke was button mashing his controller, "NOOOOO!!!" Zeke shouted. "Zeke, calm down, it's just a game!" Diane shouted at her son, "S-Sorry, Mom…"

Then, they heard the creepy music when Sephiroth won the match. Piranha, Snake and Zeke were shook by Sephiroth's victory animation. "Creepy…" Piranha said, "Yeah, he's WAY worse than you think…" Zeke explained. "Oh, looks like Wolf is done setting up!" Shark said, Zeke and Piranha beamed. "Egg Hunters!"

The two put on green, purple, pink and yellow war paint. "Está encendido, amigo!" They both shouted at each other. "Are the two of you gonna keep shouting at each other, today?" Snake asked, annoyed. Zeke and Piranha then looked at each other, "Let's make it a fair fight."

"Guys, it's just an egg hunt, let's not get too competitive." Shark said, reminding them they need to calm it down.

(Later)

The rest of the Bad Guys, along with Diane and Zeke went to the nearby park for the little egg hunt. "Hi, you guys!" Wolf said, "What on earth were you guys thinking, coming up with this?" Diane asked, concerned by how competitive Zeke and Piranha were acting.

"Cuz it's funny when these two can get riled up." Wolf said, "Plus, I figured this was another way we could spend Easter." Diane rolled her eyes in mild annoyance.

"There are the others…the Governor is with them! She and her son could be in danger!" Chief Misty Luggins said, deciding to approach the situation.

"Okay, ready?" Wolf said, "And…go!" Zeke and Piranha tried to search for the eggs. "You should be in the zone for this, right, sobrino?!" Piranha said, looking around.

"I'm a RABBIT, not a BUNNY!" Zeke said, jumping up a tree. "Hold it right there!" Zeke almost fell over as he tried to land back. "Just what do you think you're doing?" Zeke was not expecting to see Chief. "Oh, hi, Chief." Zeke said, casually.

"Do not "Oh hi, Chief" ME! Just what on earth is going on here?" Piranha just looked dumbfounded, "It's an Easter egg hunt." Piranha said. "With just YOU? I find that very hard to believe!" She said, walking up to Wolf.

"Don't think you've fooled me, Wolf. I will stay cautious of you if I need to." Chief said.

"Chief, it's okay. All I wanted to do was throw a little Easter-shindig for my son and us." Wolf explained, slightly nervous. "A likely story…Madam Governor, I must say, I respect your casual approach to these…criminals." She said, Diane just kept staying serious. "Chief, you need to understand that they've changed. Why don't you join us today?" Chief looked curious, what did the Governor mean by that.

"Good idea! Never mind the fact that she's been stalking us…" Webs said, sarcastically.

"As a personal hired bodyguard, Madam Governor?" Diane just chuckled at that question. "No, as a guest." Chief looked at the Bad Guys and then she looked at Zeke. She couldn't understand that boy, or why the governor adopted him. "Very well. I'm honored by your invitation, Madam Governor." Chief said, deciding to stay.

"This should be fun, right?" Wolf whispered to Snake, "I guess." Snake merely said.

"Okay, we're good, right?" Piranha asked. "Yeah, we're clear, back to egg-hunting!" Zeke and Piranha ran and picked up as many eggs as they could find.

"I bet I have more eggs than you, sobrino!" Piranha said. "No way! Also, Mom said not to compete!" Zeke shouted, jumping up a tree. "Oh, hi, Shermy!" Zeke then said to his cat-brother. "Oh, he's up there again? I'll come get him." Wolf said.

Chief watched as the Bad Guys were just…acting like normal civilians. They weren't robbing a bank or looking to steal, they were just being normal. What kinda trick was this? She wondered, "Diane, if Chief's here, what should we do if she wants lamb chops?" Shark asked. "I'll split mine, I don't mind." Diane said.

"Oh, you're having lamb chops, too?" Chief asked.

(Later)

"Okay, so, whose turn to say grace?" Piranha asked, "Uh, I guess I'll go!" Shark said. "Grace?" Chief asked. "Yeah, like prayer?" Shark suggested, "Come on…" Shark went ahead with the prayer, "Dear God, thank You that we could come together and celebrate Your Son's Resurrection and his victory over death…that's how the story goes, right?" Shark asked, "Yeah, it is." Shark smiled, "Okay, good. Anyways, may we always be humble and full of mercy. And forgive us of our sins…in Jesus Name we pray, Amen." Wolf brushed his head, "Okay, who's hungry for lamb chops?" Wolf passed them around. "Sorry we couldn't make one for you, Chief. Didn't think we'd have an extra guest."

Chief merely looked to her side, "It's all right. The hospitality is fine enough." Diane used a steak knife and cut half of her chops. "Here. You can have some of mine, Chief." Chief nodded and held her plate, while Diane pushed the meat onto hers. "Thank you." Chief said, still very passive.

"So, next is the real challenge, Zekey." Piranha said, "What's that?" Piranha grinned, madly. "Simple. Who can eat the most chocolate bars without throwing up!" Piranha said, which annoyed everyone here. "Yeah, Tío, no contest." Zeke said, "Awww, why not?" Piranha asked. "I'm not abouts to sugar crash tonight, g." Zeke then said, "Like that stops ya from screaming about video games…" Snake muttered. Chief was weirded out by how…NORMAL the Bad Guys usually seemed. She even hesitated when she ate her lamb chops. "Anyways, I thank you for the meal and the hospitality. However, I best be going now." Chief said. "Glad to have ya, Chief. Just be sure to call before you need to stalk us again, haha." Wolf said.

"Watch it, Wolf. I'm still suspicious of you all. Don't forget that." Chief said, deciding to head back to work. "Bye, Chief!" Webs and Zeke said to her when she left.

"Hey, Piranha, mind if I have candy bar?" Snake asked, Piranha looked at his chocolate before huddling it close. "Not a chance, get your own, chico!" Piranha said, "What are you, 5? Come on…" Snake said. Piranha then looked reluctant, but gave Snake some chocolate.

"Zekey, did you manage to find the ones with jelly beans?" Shark asked, "Yeah, got some right here, Uncle Lou!" Zeke said.

All around, it was a pretty fun Easter, granted, the Bad Guys realized this was the first Easter they really managed to celebrate. With Chief was an even funnier Easter.

(Okay, we're at the end. Okay, so now I can focus on the Sleepover bit that I'm gonna make. Also I wanted to address that guest Cleveland. I'm sorry, I'm not going to be doing the whole "have Diane kiss Zeke and there's lipstick thing", and to Klonoa, I watched the Bluey episode for reference, but I think I'll go a different approach. Anyways, stay strong and awesome! Happy Belated Easter and hope you know God loves you a ton!)
