Hopping Down the Bunny Trail [April]

Reira had always done volunteer work but this was the first time she had to put herself through misery because of someone else's fault. She liked kids and all, but with the weather warming up, and with midterms coming round, she was not happy to be put in a bunny suit. It wasn't even a sexy bunny suit. Okay, maybe she would have been even more appalled if she was forced to wear a sexy bunny suit, but y'know she didn't like the whole fur deal. It was going to be burning hot, she'll be sweaty and smelly and she'll be screaming at kids. Reira would have to run around like crazy making sure the kids stay together out of the woods, away from pedophiles and serial killers.

Yep. This job was tough, and the only prize she'd get from it was a pat on a back, a stupid chocolate bunny and maybe the suit. Heck, the organizers can keep the stinky old suit. Reira didn't want to think about what kind of people wore it before her...though judging by the smell, she tried to banish the suspicions from her mind. Shuffling towards the designated park in the oversized bunny suit, Reira wanted to cry when she saw the kids. They were...adorable! Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad, they looked so cute and harmless!

"Hey kids, it's the Easter Bunny go run and say hi! She, I-ugh-mean the Easter bunny will be helping you find your eggs today!" said one chirply middle aged woman who looks like a freaking lady out of Desparate Housewifes. Man, people were having children at weird ages lately, at least according to Reira's perspective.

"Hey kids!" Reira would chirp as the kids came running in a high-pitched screaming frenzy.

'Aww, look at them they're s-'

Kick.

"TELL ME WHERE ALL THE CHOCOLATES ARE OR I'LL KICK YOU IN THE CROTCH YOU STUPID BUNNY!" screamed a young boy with gleaming pretty blue eyes.

Tears welled up in Reira's eyes, 'so much for cute harmless kids,' but she kept calm, this was just her volunteer slash punishment shift, they were just kids and this was going to be short and sweet. And oh great, the parents were already sitting there on the lawn, sipping their fine wine.

Damn spoiled kids.

'Yeah, just look into those pretty little eyes.....and gouge them ot for dinner...ugh I mean protect them from ugh...oh whatever' Reira thought fighting back from spitting foul language.

"Now, now, the purpose of the Easter egg hunt is to find it yourself and the one with the most eggs gets the GOLDEN egg!" Reira would say cheerfully masking her irrtation, "Now, tell me your names little boys and girls...we'll be friends!"

Yeah, lame efforts but it'll work.

But apparently two of the five kids weren't willing to participate in sharing their names. Thankfully, there was always a 'teacher's pet in the group' and in this case, 'teacher's twins'. They were a set of twin girls with golden locks and wide honey brown eyes that just bore a resemblance to Reira's own chocolate orbs. She was thankful.

"I'm Christina!"

"And I'm her sister Jocelyn!"

"I-I'm P-patrick" muttered a shy boy that was sandwiched between the twins.

"The one that kicked you is Trevor and the other guy, his name is Paul," tattled Christina and Jocelyn simultaneously earning glares from the two boys that appeared to be friends.

"Okay, let's get started with the hunt my little munchkins...I mean, egg collectors. This is the mission, find all eggs and obtain the golden egg, kapesh?"

"What's...ka-peach?" asked the kids simultaneously.

"Nevermind, let's just find the eggs!" Reira said pumping her fist in the air as she led them towards the random bushes underneath a tall oak tree. The kids began searching with their bags in hand until Reira felt someone pinch her leg.

"Oww!" Reira turned face to face with Paul and Trevor who both had an egg in their hands.

"We FOUND THEM. Give us the golden egg. Those stupid girls and that small guy won't find any. We're the winners!"

Reira resisted once more. She didn't want to strangle these guys but she could feel a bruise rising.

“Now, be nice or else the Easter bunny won’t give you anymore treats…!”

The group started heading off towards other nooks and crannies of the park while the parents idled around sipping tea in a sophisticated manner. It didn’t take long for everyone else to find the eggs and so Reira took out the golden egg from her bunny suit’s pocket.

“Now let’s count the eggs…”

But…before Reira knew it, the kids all tackled her pushing her towards the freshly cut lawn and staining the suit a horrid puke green. The golden egg was snatched from her hands and laughter escaped from the kids’ lips.
They had worked together to steal the golden egg, which…wasn’t exactly an egg but a chocolate bunny!

"Hey kid! That's my chocolate bunny!"

Well, at least they learned to work together.

[/i][/color] So, they looked up, laughing at the bunny, smirks upon their round..smug little faces. Followed by comments, HORRIBLE FECKIN COMMENTS.

"ohhhh, look at the loser in the suit..."
"Couldn't get blue you fag?"
"What a tard."

Yes, those were enough to get a ....talking to... but of course there were parents around. After a good amount of time. After he was dragged around by hyperactive children and forced to sit cross legged in a very uncomfortable and itchy suit.. It was time for the feckin egg hunt.He was dragged off, with kids pulling him away from the parents. To safety, where the stuck up folks wouldn't hear the horrible string of words to follow.

"you feckin little bastards, make one more feckin question and I'll hung you from the feckin trees you little asshats!"

being children of the now...They were unphased by his threats, IT JUST MADE IT WORSE.

"I'd like to see you try, we'll tell our parents and you'll get in trouble."

"I'll sue your bunny ass, bitch."

They only got worse.

WHERE WAS THE INNOCENCE OF YOUTH!?! Were the generations to come, only to get worse!? It was a horrible fear that lingered in Joel's mind as he looked upon the little children before him. Stuffing his bunny hands into his bunny pockets, the pink easter rabbit looked upon the children, the smile on the mask remained...but there was a scowl deep inside. Man, did he ever hate those feckin kids. "Whatevah, lets find some of those feckin eggs, yeh little shits."

So began the hunt for the eggs, children running about,only for chocolate. NO LOVE FOR THE HOLIDAY...or the bunny. It wasn't fun, the comments. The five little ringleaders, their words, actions... AND THE FACT THEY KEPT KICKING HIM. All was going at a decent pace, he was slowly getting used to the kids, trying to force himself into a state of calmness and drive away the rage that was slowly eating away his sanity.Wishing for nothing more than to hurt the children in so many ways, Joel was going batty. HE NEEDED TO SMOKE...DRINK...or anything. Yet, there was no chance for that.Not with all the ritzy snobs and their brats. [colro=lightseagreen]FML...[/color]

O_____O

OMG

NO

WAI!!!

In the distance there was a wonderful sight, something that almost seemed holy in the wasteland of brats and jerks. It all seemed to be too good to be true, Joel was standing before ht wonders of one huge assed chocolate bunny.SO beautiful. >__> <___< >___> <___< > and it was all his!!!! Rushing towards it, he managed to get to it first. Picking it up, there was a sense of victory that serged through his being. Yes, he finally won over the brats. Something yummy was all his. Of course, not watching his back, that was where he made a mistake. While lost in a trance, staring into the dead and poorly coloured eyes of the chocolate bunny... He was kicked... KICKED IN THE BUNNY JUNK! Eyes widening, he'd fall over, the kid had a good foot on him. Falling over, Joel dropped the bunny. On the ground and curled into the fetal position, the poor young man was suffering. What had he done? Looking up, there was the five. The little rat bastard leaders. Their loud taunts and laughter, like a hammer to the head. THE RABBIT HEAD ONLY AMPLIFIED THEIR VOICES. Oh the headach..oh the pain. WHY WAS IT LIKE THAT!!?!?! Watching as the leader picked up the bunny..Joel tried his best to get up. BUT THE OW.

"HEY KID! THAT'S MY CHOCOLATE BUNNY!"

Pushed over by kids, they dog piled the poor Joel. Crushed under the collective weight of all the kids, Joel as forced to watch as the five picked away at the one thing that made him happy.The ungrateful brats ate his chocolate bunny. ;___;. Why world?! why!? Laughter...SO MUCH LAUGHTER.

"Aww! the kids like the bunny!"

The parents were happy, the children lied, and Joel was sent home... With glowing remarks about how wonderful he was...How they wanted him to dress up...at all their events... ALL OF THEM! Why go...why!?!?!!?! Sulking, the Brit would head back, with nothing but his bike and handful of..WAIT!?! Checking his pockets, he'd find they too were gone. He was left biking home a rabbit with not dignity and not easter chocolate.

"I really need a drink..."[/ul]

Ah, easter, a beautiful beautiful day when all the good little religious boys and girls celebrate the revival of their one savior... or rather the christian religious people, it didn't matter much to Jayden one way or another. Jayden was agnostic at best, so he wasn't big on celebrating things, though his parents and his brother would probably be at church right this very moment if all things where as they should be. no jayden was much more interested in money... money and... well, money. and so jayden found himself hired as the mighty and great easter guardian at the local park for all of the kids amusement. and by mighty and great guardian I of course mean that he was dressed up as a bunny rabbit, and probably just about ready to kill something in his own self loathing. he stood in the middle of the grassy expanse that made up the park, the parents all standing around the roped off area chatting amongst themselves and of course letting their little hellions into the care of one very emo, very apathetic, but very motivated Jayden D'armond. Jayden let a little smirk as he looked at the kids, his separately colored eyes shining as he looked over the five little children. 2 boys and three girls, you would think this was going to be a walk in the park! or perhaps easter in the park. whichever everyone wanted to choose. didn't matter to jayden, he was getting paid today. so there was blondie, blondie two, and blondie three, the three little blonde girls each perfectly groomed dressed and delightfully pampered to have whatever they want. then there was mini-douche one, the little boy with the faux hawk that was clearly a carbon copy of his father "regular douche one" whom jayden had spotted much earlier, and realized that he was going to get hell for this eventually. and lastly of course was "kid who looked just like justin beiber". this dawning realization of what the last boy looked like simply made jayden want to rip his eyes right from their sockets, and then tear his ears off so that he may fall right there and die a bloody death, and hopefully the little boy's perfectly charming smile would fade forever and he would never desire to do acoustic hip-hop/ soft rock cross genre bullshit. that would be perfect.

"Alright children" Jayden said calmly, his voice lacquered with the simple distaste of all the children, especially little mini-douche. he felt the need to kick mini-douche... like a little dog, far away. "Who's ready to go hunt for some eggs?" he asked, bending over to lower his incredible height to their level. it was now that he noticed all the little girls where afraid of him, his seperately colored eyes, and the fact that he was giving off a certain chill they had probably never experianced in their lives. he just shook his head, though no one could see it behind the bunny mask. this had to be a bad joke.

their absolute silence was clearly the punch line. oh well, had to be done somehow.

"Deep within the park are the many wonderous eggs of easter, and whoever returns the most to me gets this chocolate bunny!" Jayden said in mock excitement, trying to fool the kids into thinking that he really wanted to be there, pulling out the chocolate bunny from behind him, shaking it as though it was a dog treat. "I'd rather have cash" mini-douche said.

Jayden just remained still for a moment, had he wanted money that early? probably. had to keep up the pace though, no stopping!

"You can sell the chocolate bunny to your parents then" Jayden said calmly, "You will have 15 minutes to find eggs, and then return them to me here... ready go" Jayden said unceremoniously, having completely lost faith in the children now and just wanting to go home as soon as possible, luckily it was a lump sum, and not hourly that he was being paid.

The kids of course began walking slowly into the field, each seeming just a little uninterested. Jayden could feel their boredom eminating from them... not his problem though, right? he turned, and douche father of mini-douche was glaring him down, his muscular arm raised and he motioned for the bunny suited boy to come over.

"Listen punk, if my little chad doesn't have fun and win, I'm gonna make sure you never work this job again... and I'll pound you..." the man said, though jayden wasn't threatened. he smiled "Bribes work better than threats" he said, sticking his hand out for a pay-off, the man looked around, realizing there where too many people around to just punch the boy and then emptied his wallet of a 20 to give the emo bunny. Jayden was suddenly motivated again. he hopped over to where mini-douche 1 was, smiling he leaned over and whispered in his ear the location of each egg. the boy smiled and began running, the others noticed quickly and followed him. Jayden just sat back to watch the show, all of the kids fighting over the eggs that mini-douche one always just barely got to first. as he came back, jayden handed him the chocolate bunny, knowing already he had all the eggs. "good job everyone, wasn't that fun? now I must return to my home, until next easter!" he said, turning and begining to walk off, he was already far too sick of this whole situation when suddenly

"HEY KID!THATS MY CHOCOLATE BUNNY!" the little mini-douche said.

jayden turned to see one of the girls had taken it... how surprising, and was now sharing with the other girls... oh ladies, how sneaky they could be, even at such a young age. Jayden turned around, not his problem anymore.

and the world just keeps turning

*SMACK*

angry douche father was angry! and jayden was out cold. but he had already hidden the money in a place that douche man would never search...

*fin?*

The holidays came in like a torrential storm this time of year; while the Seran’s were normally of a staunch Christian descent over the years their faith diminished and with it came the effects of holiday interactions. For one Easter simply struck Uriel as a pointless busying distraction for the masses yet another hallmark note evidence that there was only opportunity in a free market society where all else failed and died. Hope was a fleeting thing, a humorous oppression that struck a toll in everyone.

However this holiday Uriel would need a bit of hope. You see, being from such a high ranking family it was common place for him to be endorsed in random deals, deals which he had no knowledge or agreement upon. Silly free will didn’t dictate his life nowadays rather his father’s busy schedule. Morning he rose with an abysmal attitude and a grimace to match. Dressing lightly today expecting to merely lurk about the house facilitating himself in junk food and mindless warping games and movies while the world abroad rose to collect eggs and candies. Fools.

However in but an instant he was transformed to the fool. Taken from his pajama bottoms and fixated gaze settling on the television a hulking tanned hand yanked at his collar without any regard to his bowel of cereal which spilled over the floor wreaking havoc on the cleaning bill.

“Guyahh.”

He’d squeal shortly as his father’s second tugged him into the kitchen knowing well enough to avoid eye contact. Of course they didn’t know his ability but were smart enough to divulge the details of evading such a fate as his father’s last cronies.

“Grrr, put me down.” He’d command childishly pouting,

“You’re father has a job for you…”

“Oh?”….

“You’re not going to enjoy it….”

*Moments later*

Adorned in something he’d not be caught dead in Uriel Seran stood peeved with his fists bawled at the end of the mall, his pace picking up but at a snails pace to effectively cross the room with any effort. The mall was livid today it’d seem, church was still not out which made this endearing there’d be few children to deal with and he could make this quick an most likely painless. Just had too…

“You must be Uri, awe how cute…” A boisterous and large woman descended upon him.

Her glazed features signified an expressive use of makeup concealing her true form and her puffed out cheeks displayed something of a weight concern. Though a smile she wore whether that be at his distress or that she truly enjoyed herself it couldn’t be sure. For some reason Uriel feared to find out. Large sausage shaped fingers reached out resulting in Uriel’s cringing appearance backwards, but he couldn’t escape, no not from that woman. Her hands would grip about his cheeks and squeeze roughly tugging at them to smile which hurt in itself.

“Awen’t you a cute bunny…” Her baby speak made him shudder and grimace once more, “Kill me….” A whisper, “What?”

“Can we get this over with?” Uriel’s reply would be swift and cold.

“Alright Mr. Bunny, just sit up there.”

A grunt and Uriel would comply taking seat upon his throne, of course he enjoyed that much, if it weren’t for the public embarrassment he’d feel quite in control. Though it was justly the latter. Leaning back he’d protrude the pompous king image he’d be more than likely to become.

“Heeeeerrre they come!” The excited reaction would pan out sending fear into Uri’s eyes.

First to lunge at him would of course be the sugar hyped little girl, her features stretched with excitement to a degree that would repulse any other human being. And Uriel being, Uriel he retracted pressing himself back into the throne to avoid the….

*BAM*

And he fell gripping at his balls as the little girl piled-drived straight into him. His figure dropped over hers clutching at his crotch as she bounced excitedly babbling repetitively about a bunny and where were the eggs? All Uriel could do was lie there helpless and bat away with an arm pointing to the corner of the mall. It might buy him some time surely it hat to. With a hip and a hop the girl lunged off swifter than Rodger rabbit to claim the eggs.

Thank God that was over.
“Round II FIGHT!”

Eyes darted in a shriveled fashion picking out where the noise had come from and of course he’d get lucky this time fixating his eyes on a small little Chinese boy with his hands tautly gripped around a PSP as he tinkered away utterly uninterested. Oh Phew.

His puttering pace continued for what seemed as though it were hours till he had gotten to Uriel’s shins and looked up from the game a distant look in his eyes as though he weren’t thinking, however it was deemed a trap.

His hand darted out savagely gripping Uriel by the bunny suit and dragging him down to the boy’s level roughly demanding him to look the boy in the eyes. However the suit saved him that respect only granting him the dull lifeless stare of a plastic fuzzy bunny.

“Where be mah eggs bunny man!?! Gimme mah eggs or I cut chu’!”

Uriel couldn’t handle that at all cringing away in fear. All of a sudden the world seemed to utterly confuse him, when did kids beat up full grown adults I mean what was this Xin? Uriel pointed drastically in the direction he’d instructed the first to out of fear of getting hard-boiled himself. Buh-Dum-Tsh.

Sighing a large breath of relief the large woman let the next two through, twins of course. Smiling, beautiful, innocent…… Uriel spasmed, it was a trap again he was sure of it. The large bunny man tore off in reverse climbing to the top of his pristine escape clawing at the escape he’d point to the fountain trying to allude the proximity of the terror duo. And with ease they left.

By afternoon he’d worked through many a child it got easier after those first few and it seemed his day had boiled down to the very end just meagerly surviving that is. But all stories have happy endings don’t they?

The last child came through the hallowed gate, his chubby features signified perhaps a bit too much candy for today. Shaking his head out of the dismal pool Uriel though positively. It’ll be the last, just got to survive a bit more. Inches away the boy froze his hand clasped tightly over a fudgecicle licking away with a bit of deepness to his eyes.

“Mr. Bunny, Can I sit on your lap?”

Uriel grimaced in pain, no way; no way would he allow this to happen. But just above the youth’s head he saw the parents all nodding with a sense of delusional happiness. To which Uriel could only sigh unhappily, grit his teeth and bare the sudden moment of distress.

*ffffffffppppphhhh*

With a glare of distrust and the boy’s smiling face he took off a bit lighter, Uri standing to have his bunny suit have once section several shades darker. Peeling off the suit’s head he’d glare at the leader as if to say I WILL HAVE VENGEACE.

"Hey kid! That's my chocolate bunny!" The woman would giggle in an amused voice only drawing fiery eyes.
