Easter
* Jack and Aster are painting eggs*
When did it come to this?
Me sitting in the warren with Aster painting eggs and helping with Easter.
How long has it been? Months? Time goes by with out me.
Does the wind miss me?
* Cool wind gently brushes by sending shivers down Asters spine while Jack smiles*
Every time I think about the wind she comes. Why doesn't he complain?
I wish I could do my job.. spreading ice and snow but he wont let me leave.
How is it every time I take a tunnel to leave I'm led back here?
I still haven't found my staff, I've looked everywhere.
Nick wouldn't tell me where it was either. He visits a lot, too much.
I need to get out by winter
If I help maybe he'll let me go
Did Aster just sigh? I wonder why.
I miss my stuffed rabbit, why? Am I crying?
Jack? Whats wrong?
"I ... it's stupid"
No It's not
"I want my stuffed toy, It's on my bed in the cave"
Wait there
"Really? Why can't I come!"
Stay there
*Aster was gone through a hole faster than Jack could have seen coming.*
He is getting better at that, I don't even have time to get down the hole
I should look for my staff again.
But where, the only place I haven't searched...
"ASTERS ROOM"
but where does he sleep?
I have gone over every inch of this place!
*Jack at a lost started pacing.*
*Jack at a lost started pacing.*
*Aster arrives back at the warren to see Jack pacing frustrated *
Hey?
"Where do you sleep!"
What? Why ?
"It's the only place I haven't looked!"
Is this about that damn staff? I told yuh it ain't here
"Yes it is!"
How would you know?
" I can feel her!"
Her?
" Never mind! Did you fine Sir bunny ?"
Sir bunny?!
* Aster being his insensitive self starts laughing*
"Stop laughing at me!"
* Jack grabbed his toy and stormed off to his room. *
Look Jack I'm sorry!
No use hes too far away to hear. I'll go get him later I have Easter To worry about
*Aster set to work on Easter preparations once again.*
Looks like Easter tired out Aster. Why do I feel like I've seen him like this before?
Hes heading to the bathhouse
I'll go say sorry when hes done. I should, I have ignored him
*About a hour later*
Where is that stupid bunny?
How long does it take to bathe?
When was the last time I bathed?
I should go check on him. Right? Yeah. It's not like I don't seen him with out clothes.
* When Jack arrived Aster was asleep in the tub. Jack could not wake him*
I guess I should let out the water? But his fur is still covered in mud and leaves.
I Should wash it. Where is the cloth?
Oh here it is.
* Jack washed out Asters fur*
It takes for over for the water to drain.
He is much to heavy for me to move.
If I had my staff. ...
...
....
Towels? And that hair dryer
*Jack dried Aster off* I'm only doing this so he doesn't catch a cold
Maybe I should brush it out? I got it pretty tangled.
* As Jack started to brush Asters fur, Aster started to wake*
Why won't this knot go away?!
" Ugh"
"Come on"
"Stubborn" freaking Knot
"Grrr"
Having trouble?
ASTER
IS
AWAKE
What do I do?
Didn't mean to scare yuh. Have you even brushed fur before?
"You should be grateful! Who falls asleep in the water! Dumb Kangaroo !"
Did I just say that? Didn't I come in here to say sorry?
" Sorry... "
I am grateful, Thank you I can take it from here Jack.
Isn't he mad?
* Aster got out of the tub, Picking Jack up he went outside. Sitting Jack on a rock by the river Aster sat down close and began to brush his fur out*
I really tangled his fur..
Maybe he'll show me?
" How did easter go?"
Good really good
" Good..."
should I ask?
"Can.. I... Can you show me how to do that?"
Brush my fur?
"Yes"
You want to brush my fur?
I'm going to die of embarrassment
"Yes..."
Than come closer
*Aster held Jacks hand and the brush showing him how to brush out the knots. They spent nearly two hours brushing. Jack fell asleep as Aster brushed Jacks hair. Aster Carried Jack back to his bed.*
Sleep tight Sir Bunny and Jack.
Did he just say that?
