Angel Bunny's Easter Sucked
Angel Bunny’s easter sucked.
He was tired, he was scared, he was angry at Twilight, and he was glad he would be able to see Celestia’s sun raise tomorrow morning. Right now, he just needed the love of a certain yellow Pegasus, who was holding him close, all cozy on the couch, telling him everything would be okay, and that she would never let anything like this happen ever again.
7:00 A.M., Ponyville, Easter Sunday.
Twilight was rummaging through every book on the shelves in the library. The recent donation from Princess Celestia was larger than usual, and she was unable to find the space for all of them. She had to pick a rather hefty amount to get rid of. She had so far spent half an hour deciding which books, in alphabetical order, she should keep, and which she should discard. She had made it to the C’s.
“Hey Twilight.” Said Fluttershy, walking through the open front door of the library.
“Oh, hey Fluttershy.” She responded. “I’d like to chat, but I have a lot of work to do.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Maybe I can help. I was just coming home from the market picking out carrots for Angel bunny. He’s very picky on which ones he likes, so I brought him with. I’m sure he could help us. Angel bunny loves reading, right sweetie?”
She looked at the small bunny sitting next to her. He merely responded by sticking his paw in his mouth and pretending to gag.
“Thanks for the offer guys, but I have a very specific way of organizing my books, and an extensive algorithm for deciding whether the book should stay, based on the amount of times somepony has taken it off the shelf, how relevant it is to other books on the shelf, and if it has any sentimental value to me, you guys, or other residents of Ponyville.” Twilight responded.
“Oh. Well, I’ll just leave it to you then. I wouldn't want to upset anything.” Fluttershy said. She turned around to leave, thinking that Angel would follow, however angel was instead looking at pile of stacked books, all about carrots. he started opening the books one by one, glancing at the content of each one, then throwing it aside.
“Angel be careful with those. You need to treat a book with respect. All books have something to offer, so they should be treated nicely.”
Twilight’s words went inside one of Angel’s large ears and out the other. He looked over to another carrot book, this one put back on the shelf, apparently passing Twilight's test. He jumped onto the shelf, knocking over some other books.
“Hey!” Twilight exclaimed.
She went to grab the badly behaved bunny, but Angel took hold of a small hardcover book and bopped twilight on the forehead, jumping away with the carrot book.
“How does Fluttershy put up with you?” Twilight said as she ceased Angel bunny by his foot with her magic. He squirmed as he reached for the book, which he had dropped.
“Somepony needs to teach you a lesson.” Twilight mumbled as she thought of ways to get a lesson out of the bunny. She peered over at her calendar and noticed the date. A light bulb went off in her head. “Ahah! I've got it.” She grabbed a culinary spell book off of the shelf and glanced through it, eventually finding the spell she was looking for. She focused on the bunny, already suspended in midair from her magic, and her horn glowed brighter. There was a brown tornado forming around the poor bunny. He was soon lost in the spell. But it was before long that the bunny was freed from the magic and was plopped on the floor of the library.
“There. It may not be a relevant lesson, but I’ll sure be entertained.” Twilight said, proud of the success of her spell.
Angel stuck his tongue out at Twilight, but noticed something. His lip tasted funny. He noticed his arms were now brown and smooth, his entire body in fact. He scampered over to twilight’s bathroom and hopped onto the sink to look in the mirror.
Angel was made entirely of chocolate.
He wanted to say horrible things to twilight, but knowing that only Fluttershy would understand what he was saying, he decided to run after her. besides, she couldn't have gotten far and not noticed her favorite bunny missing.
Angel burst out of the library, frantic to find Fluttershy. There was no doubt she would convince that evil unicorn to turn him back to normal. Angel dashed through Ponyville, eager to get back to the cottage. while running, somepony noticed him.
“I swear guys! There is a magic chocolate bunny in Ponyville!” The pink earth pony claimed.
Rainbow Dash and Applejack were sitting at the counter in Sugarcube corner, listening to Pinkie Pie as she served them two chocolate milkshakes.
“Are you sure you weren't hallucinatin’ sugar cube?” Applejack questioned as she grabbed her shake. “On Hearts n Hooves day you said it was a magic box of chocolates. Maybe you’re workin’ too much.”
“No, I’m sure I saw it! It left chocolate paw prints. I’m sure of it.”
“Well, we have seen weirder.” Rainbow commented.
“Exactly! We should have a bunny hunt!”
“I bet I could catch it! It’d be a cinch!” Rainbow said as she downed her milkshake.
“Not before I could. I would lasso that varmint before you could say lickety-split.” Applejack and Rainbow were now glaring at each other. It broke when Rainbow put a hoof to her forehead.
“Aagh! Brain-freeze!” She said.
Applejack chuckled as her milkshake was also gone. “See Rainbow, you can’t even handle a milkshake.” Her smile disappeared just as quick as it came, she too was groaning. She held her hat over her eyes. “Uugh. Well, anyway. I can still catch it first.”
“Then the competition is on! I’ll gather everyone in town and we can make it official! Whoever catches the bunny gets to have it!” Pinkie gleamed as she grabbed Applejack and Rainbow Dash’s empty glasses. “Shop’s closed everypony!” She yelled. “We have a bunny hunt on our hooves!”
Spike walked into the library, where he found Twilight, sitting on her bed, eating chocolate.
“Hey twilight, did you hear? Apparently there's a magical chocolate bunny running around Ponyville! Pinkie Pie is setting up a competition!”
Twilight giggled. “Oh really? What does the winner get when they find this magical bunny?”
“They get to eat it, obviously!” Spike exclaimed.
Twilight coughed on a piece of chocolate. “They get to WHAT?”
Spike was confused by her reaction. “They get to eat the bunny? Why would you let a piece of chocolate go to waste?”
“Because he’s not just a piece of chocolate! I have to find him. I have to find Fluttershy!” Twilight sprang up and dashed out of the door.
“He?” Spike said. He shrugged it off and walked over to Twilight’s bed to clean up the chocolate. They were all books, each about the size of a Harry Trotter novel. “How much chocolate did you eat Twilight?” he said as he picked up a small chunk of choco-book and popped it in his mouth. He quickly spat it out. “Blech! Dark chocolate!”
By now 75% of Ponyville was gathered at the town hall. Pinkie pie was standing at a podium with Mayor Mare standing next to her. The crowd was murmuring about this magic bunny. Even the Cutie Mark Crusaders were there.
“Ah wonder what a bunny catching cutie mark looks like!” Applebloom said.
“I don’t know! Maybe if I keep it, it can lay chocolate eggs!” Sweetie Belle squeaked.
“Bunnies don’t lay eggs Sweetie Belle.” Scootaloo interrupted. “And besides, what’s the big deal with this anyway? I don’t even like chocolate!”
“Well you don’t have to eat it, Scootaloo. Ah’ll eat it.” Said Applebloom.
“We can split it, right?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“We’ll see. If ah catch it, ah get most of it. If you catch it, you get most of it. And if Scootaloo catches it, we both get half.”
“Okay!” Sweetie Belle squeaked again.
“Alright everypony!” Pinkie said into a megaphone, despite the podium in front of her already having a microphone. “We will start the hunt when the bell tower hits 3:00! Now to make it fair, if anypony teams up, make sure you divide the prize evenly! This will be the best Easter ever!”
A pony in the crowd, Bon Bon to be specific, yelled out to Pinkie. “Where do we find the bunny?”
“I HAVE NO IDEA” Pinkie blared, the volume of her yelling blowing the crowd’s manes’ back.
*BONG*
*BONG*
*BONG*
“Let the hunt begin!” Mayor Mare exclaimed.
Pinkie sounded a very long and deep horn, the noise vibrating throughout the town
Angel bunny was pretty much lost in town, he was dripping with sweat. Well, melted chocolate to be honest. He had just made it within eyesight of the cottage. When he heard the blare of Pinkie’s horn in the distance, he looked back to see where it was coming from. He wasn't paying attention where he was going, and during his final sprint home, he tumbled down a hill into a small pond. His entire body went soft, and he felt a mix of pain, heaviness and weakness. He squeaked as loud as he could, hoping Fluttershy would hear him.
“Angel bunny!” Fluttershy burst out of the front door of her house, frantically searching the front of her property for the origin of the terrified bunny noise. She noticed splashing in the pond. She quickly flew over and scooped up the brown mess.
“Whaa?” She set the bunny down. He sputtered and coughed. “What happened to you? You look like you fell into a barrel of hot fudge!” She noticed the brown on her hooves. She sniffed it, and took a lick. “Hmm. Dark chocolate to be exact.” She checked the bunny again. “What happened? I thought you were following me. When I got home I didn't know where you were.” The bunny started stammering and chattering, making what was apparently distinctive and understandable language to Fluttershy.
“Why would she do that?” She finally asked.
The bunny shrugged.
“Well, let’s get you dried off, and see if we can fix this long enough to get to Twilight. That doesn’t sound like her, turning her friends’ pets into candy.”
“THERE IT IS! IT’S THE BUNNY!” One mare in a small party of ponies shrieked.
They all started galloping towards Fluttershy. She darted into her cottage with Angel and quadruple locked her door (because her door did, in fact, have 4 locks on it).
“What’s going on?” Fluttershy stammered.
Applejack and Rainbow Dash were hunting around Sweet Apple Acres. They had told pinkie they were a team, but neither had any intention on sharing the bunny. Twilight came flying in at full speed, nearly crashing into Applejack.
“Whoa there, partner!” She said, jumping back
“Do you guys know where Fluttershy is? I need to find her.”
“We don’t know. Hey, can you help us find a magic chocolate bunny? Just know that I’m not gonna share it if I find it.”
“Did you say chocolate bunny? Thank Celestia! That’s what I’m looking for as well!” She paused. “Wait. What about sharing?”
“Ah’m gonna find the bunny first, so Rainbow doesn't get to have any of it.” Applejack declared.
“What do you mean have? I need to find that bunny and get him back to normal!”
“Wait. Normal? Did you enchant a chocolate bunny to be alive?” Rainbow questioned.
“Well not exactly.” Twilight said, rubbing her forehoof. “I turned Fluttershy’s bunny Angel into chocolate because I wanted to teach him a lesson.”
Applejack and Rainbow were shocked.
“What lesson would that be?” Rainbow asked.
“You know you might have just killed him, right?” Applejack said worriedly.
“Fluttershy is going to be pissed!” Rainbow stated.
“I know I know I know! I didn't really know what to do. He was bugging me in the library and I wanted to teach him not to bother ponies when they’re busy!”
“Well, needless you say, you kinda overreacted a bit, didn't cha?” Applejack put her hoof on Twilight's shoulder.
“Yeah. I did.”
“What kind of chocolate?” Rainbow dash thoughtlessly asked.
“Dark.” Twilight responded.
“Ew. Nopony likes Dark Chocolate.”
“I do!” Twilight contradicted. “It’s good for the heart!”
“Calm down you two! What kind of chocolate Angel is doesn't matter right now!” Applejack broke in.
Rainbow Dash realized the situation. “We have to find that bunny!”
Twilight and Rainbow dash soared towards Fluttershy’s house.
“Wait fer me!” Applejack shouted to the sky. “Ah, pony feathers.” She muttered to herself, and then galloped after them at full speed.
By now the party of 4 in front of Fluttershy’s house had grown to half of Ponyville, including Pinkie Pie and the mayor, who had commandeered an air balloon.
“It appears Fluttershy has captured the bunny first! But it looks like she’s going to have to put up a real fight to keep it!” She announced.
“Stop!” Twilight’s shout could be heard from the distance. She and Rainbow Dash were flying towards the scene, although Twilight was falling behind, her stomach full of chocolate.
They landed near the crowd, Twilight panting.
“Oye. Too many books.” She said.
“Pardon?” Applejack said, catching up.
“Never mind. Everypony! Listen up!”
The crowd didn't seem to care. The noise was too much.
“Rainbow, can you get pinkie to land the balloon?” Twilight asked.
“Okey dokey.” She said, then flew up to the balloon. “Pinkie Pie, we need you to land.”
“Aww, but I wanna see what happens!”
“Come on pinkie! We have to stop this competition! The bunny is Fluttershy’s pet!”
“Oooooohhh!” Said Pinkie. “I get it now.”
“You do?”
“Yeah, when I first saw Angel he was running out of the library! Twilight must’ve turned him into chocolate.”
Rainbow stared at her dumbfounded. “Actually yes. She did.”
Pinkie pie landed the balloon, and she and the mayor stepped out. Twilight still had no success taming the large crowd, and inside Fluttershy was starting to have problems keeping her house pony-proof, along with keeping her other pets from trying to nibble at Angel.
“EVERYPONY LISTEN PLEASE!” Twilight screamed, she was straining her voice. “Somepony else please try to get the crowd calmed down.”
Rainbow facehooved. “Oh for Pete’s sake…” She grabbed Pinkie’s megaphone. “EVERYPONY! THE BUNNY IS DARK CHOCOLATE. I REPEAT. THE BUNNY IS DARK CHOCOLATE!”
The entire crowd went silent, then everyone started to walk home, groaning and disappointed.
“Wow.” Twilight was shocked. “I guess I am the only pony in town that likes dark chocolate.”
“Fluttershy. You can come out now.” Twilight said, knocking on the door.
“You’re not going to turn me into chocolate, are you?” Fluttershy said, obviously slightly ticked at Twilight little spell.
“No, Fluttershy. I’m sorry for what I did.”
After 4 clicks behind the door, Fluttershy emerged with a mostly melted Angel bunny.
“You can fix this right?”
“Of course I can.” Twilight levitated the pile of half-melted chocolate and surrounded it with a white tornado. Shortly after, a white bunny fell into Fluttershy’s arms.
“There’s my little baby.” Fluttershy cooed while cradling Angel. “Why did you do such a thing, Twilight?”
“It was for a silly reason. I overreacted and It almost got Angel hurt. I should have been more patient.”
“It’s alright. At least nopony got hurt.”
Somewhere in the middle of town, Rarity was on the ground in front of her Boutique, having been trampled by a crowd of crazy ponies looking for a magic bunny. She let out a small squeak.
Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack all went home, and Fluttershy went inside with her bunny. He was tired, he was scared, he was angry at Twilight, and he was glad he would be able to see Celestia’s sun raise tomorrow morning. Right now, he just needed the love of a certain yellow Pegasus, who was holding him close, all cozy on the couch, telling him everything would be okay, and that she would never let anything like this happen ever again.
But one thing is certain. Angel Bunny’s Easter sucked.
