The Apollo Cabin's Visit From the Easter Bunny

Subject: The Apollo Cabin's Visit From the Easter Bunny Sun Apr 24, 2011 8:36 am

Cabin 7 was completed decorated with an assortment of eggs and monogramed basket. The fun confeti stuff was placed in the baskets with care, and each basket contained a bag of one piece of candy, the favorite candy of the basket's owner, and the name of an Apollo kid.

Scattered all around the cabin were 50 eggs, and 1 golden egg. The golden egg contained a gift Apollo had given to Hale to hide for Easter. Hale agreed, and inside the golden egg was a tiny piece of sun. Apollo had never given a gift as grand as that, and the cabin leader knew anyone would be amazed to find it.

Hale himself wouldn't find the egg, he had hidden it, but he did get himself an Easter basket, with a bag of skittles. The other campers would wake up any minute, and then it was off to hunt eggs!

Dani woke up and stretched. She yawned looking at her suroundings. Easter, right today was Easter. The cabin looked so... Easter like with all of the eggs, baskets and candy. Dani smiled to herself, Easter was her favorite holiday.

~Could this be true? My dream of having a virtual Easter Egg hunt? *gasps softly*

"Am I Supposed To Be Happy?"
~o~o~o~o~o~

Derek was always an early riser. Whenever he feels like it, he'd be the first one to wake up than his other siblings. And when his eyes opened, he saw some frilly ribbons and some wood. Thinking it was a prank, he poked his foot by the basket, half ready if it suddenly attacked.

Hoping this wasn't a prank, he slowly got up and investigated. Finding out it were indeed a basket. An Easter basket of coarse. He grinned to himself and picked it up, looking at the designs and such. "Wow." he breathed. Then, he got up, bed never creaking and searched for his shoes under the bed.

"Hahaha." he chuckled softly as his hand reached, not his shoes, but a little Easter egg. So it was a hunt! That was the baskets are for! He grinned again and straighten himself, not showing the excitement and joy get into his face. But then, he found himself searching for little tiny eggs everywhere he was, finding a blue one, a green one and on odd, colorful egg under his bunk and trunk.

~o~o~o~o~o~
“When All I Ever Wanted, Comes With A Price.”

~That rhymed!

Dani slowly got out of her bed to find a orange basket labeled 'Danielle'. She hated it when people used her real name, Dani was so much easier to say. Dani opened it to find laffy taffy, and an egg. 'Oh it's a hunt! Duh!' Dani thought to herself. She looked around the cabin finding other oddly colored eggs.

Hale smiled, glad others were enjoying his Easter Egg Hunt. It was better than the kind he had had at church with his mom. Hale had gotten the eggs as high and as low as he could, and found eggs of every color.

Still. it couldn't hurt to deny hiding the eggs, saying that the Easter Bunny was real, and explaining how no one thought the gods were real. That got them. Even the older kids could play little for a while, and Hale loved it.

"Great job guys, why don't you look high?" Hale suggested as he passed some kids looking underneath the beds. "There might be some in the living room, don't you think?" Hale spoke with some littler kids. "Whoa! You're so close to one, I bet!" Hale encouraged a kid much older than him. There was much chatter throughout the cabin, and it felt more like home than it ever had when Hale had been at camp.

Finally Hale decided to join in, and picked out three red eggs, since red was his favorite color, and chuckled when he opened the eggs. Two skittles eggs, and one with dog treats. "Hey Truckee! Here boy!" Hale's puppy bounded out of Hale's room, and the Apollo kid tossed his pet one of the treats. "Go nuts."

Brook was sitting on her bed, nibbling away at the ear of a chocolate Easter Bunny. Katie had said no to more sweets, but she said that she could save the candy she got for later in the year. She fell back on her back and popped a jelly bean into her mouth. Brook wore a nautical striped tank top with a white buttoned skirt with black leggings under it. "Hale, could I join in?" Brook asked, jumping off the bunk and stretching a bit, scratching Truckee behind the ears a bit.

Hale smiled at his niece. "Of course, sweetie. Grab your basket!" Hale searched through the cabin and found Brook's basket next to her bed. He brought it to her, and inside was her favorite candy. He hadn't seen Anne in a while, and he feared he wouldn't soon. Sometimes he wondered if Brook had a crush on him. Hale liked Anne, but he didn't want Brook to know that. They couldn't date. It would be almost as weird as Katie and Seth, but Hale could do everything in his power to be a great role model, and a super friend.

I woke up to the sound of voices. Easter. Why did we even celebrate it? But when I looked around I got the idea. "Whoa." I said a bit taken back. I grabbed the basket, that had my name on it and faced a whole mess of Peanut butter cups! I giggled with glee and the looked around to my cabin mates picking up eggs. I emptied out my candy and then went around in my night clothes picking up eggs with my siblings.

This wasn't like him. Derek was strong. Yes. Was he mysterious? Yes. Did he chuckle with glee for the rest of the hunt? Absolutely. Now that he got five eggs, he paused a bit and cracked a tiny egg open. Inside, there was rainbow Skittles and other chocolate treats. "COOL!" he grinned. Sitting back on his messy, but empty bed, he popped open all of these small treasures and placed the candy inside the basket. "Well, so far, this is the greatest Easter ever." he laughed, leaning back to his bed's head rest.

Dani was frantic to look for this 'golden egg'. It was a gift from Apollo himself! So the gift had to be great! She now had about 5 ordinary eggs, well not ordinary, but not golden either. Dani finally saw a light from something. A golden egg maybe?

Melody awoke to sounds of shuffling around and laughter. She sat up and looked around to see what was going on. Melody smiled brightly, an egg hunt! Just like the old days back in the mortal world. Rising out of bed she yawned and found her basket, filled with small snickers. Mel smiled and peeled one open and popped it into her mouth, even though it was too early for candy. Before she started egg hunting she whistled loudly out the cabin door, calling her crow, Dolan. After a few moments he came and she allowed him to perch on her finger and fed him his crickets and dried rabbit meat. She set Dolan on his perch next to her bed and began to look for the eggs and the golden one everyone was talking about.

Brook smiled a bit and opened the plastic egg, finding every kind of skittle in there. She popped a few into her mouth, claiming that she could taste the rainbow. Laughing a bit, she thanked Hale and ran off toward the smallest crevices in search for more eggs. Easter was a great holiday, full of chocolate and candy. Plus, it was the only time Brook got to dress up with an excuse!

Mel was having a great time! She began to look under everyone bunks and she found two under her matress and smiled to herself. "Guess i'm not a princess, 'cause I sure didn't feel that!" She found one behind the cabin door too and quivered with the thought of finding the golden egg.

Liliane was looking around with her dog eva standing by her. Eva looked up and perked her ears She looked over at what she was looking at "Dont do it" but it was to late eva was running towards Melody's pet "Stop!!" she called out

Melody looked up as she heard Liliane yell out and saw her dog pounding towards Dolan, who had his beak tucked behind his wings as he took a nap. Mel shrieked and her face went white with fear then red with anger as she chased after Eva. She whistled loudly, startling Dolan awake and he saw the dog, he cawed loudly and flew over to her. As soon as Dolan was safe, she turned on Liliane. "What the heck, can't you keep your dog under control!"

She looked sympathetic. "I'm sorry she is not usually like this!!" and she grabbed eva by her collar and bent down looking her in the eye. She already knew she was in trouble she started licking her face. "No bad girl you dont do that!" and she looked up at mel "Im sorry" she said "Im Liliane" she said patting eva's head making sure she stayed next to her

Mel began to calm down as she decided that Dolan was okay, just a little flustered. Sighing she walked over to her and said, "That's okay I guess, besides we are sisters, oh and i'm Melody, but call me Mel." Mel was holding her raven in her hand by now stroking his feathers until he was relaxed again.

She smiled brightly and looked at her dog "And this is eva, my little trouble maker". She patted eva's head and eva got down on her belly and wagging her tail looking up at mel happily. "She is a suck up" she said smiling

Mel smiled and patted Eva, making Dolan caw in displeasure. Mel smiled and put him on her shoulder. This is Dolan, my cranky friend. He ruffled his feathers and gave Liliane a haughty look. Mel reached into her pocket and dug out some more of the dried rabbit meat and gave it to him. Dolan flew off her shoulder back to his perch next to her bunk.

"I wouldn't like me either if i was chased by a big dog like her.." she said smiling down at eva and ruffling up her ears and playfully growling. "He's a buty" she said watching the bird fly away.

Mel nodded in agreement. "Hey, how many eggs do you have?" Picking up her basket she counted five colorful eggs. "I have five, but a really want the golden egg that Hale said was a gift from Apollo!" Almost forgetting about the earlier incident, Mel began to get excited about the hunt again.

"I have..." she said looking down. "Four" she said sighing and smiled. "I can help you look for it!" she said and looked down at eva "She could help...". she bent down next to eva and put her hands on the side of her head and started shaking her happily "Are you gonna help us sweetness??" she said laughing as eva toppled her over in licks

"Ohhh, maybe Dolan can help too, a saytr taught me this song that I can whistle to him and then I show him something and he'll hunt it," she gushed excitedly. "Watch."
Mel began to whistle a sweet, low song, for about two minutes. Dolan had flew over to her and Mel flashed a egg at him as she continued the song. As he began to swoop over the cabin, looking, she inhaled with a big breath. She smiled at Liliane for her reaction.

"Thats amazing!!" she said and looked down at eva "She could sniff things out on the ground.." and handing a egg to eva letting her sniff at it "Go girl!" and eva started snooping around with her nose to the ground and when she was done she stopped and lifted up one leg and shifted her head forward "Good girl!!" and she walked over and saw a colorfully egg and sighed "Not gold but it is something!"
