here's another jack for you guys

[jacksonoverland]

Okay, you took a ridiculously long amount of time with this. Do you know how many pranks we could've done in that time? A lot! So you really owe me an apology here. Still, I am glad you decided to bring me here at all, so thanks for that! 

Now what's this about me with white hair? I'm not... No, I can't be, that's not possible! You're worrying me here. I can't be...

... old!

[Sorry, Bunny, but Jack's cracking up. E. Aster? Easter? Bunny. Wow. Okay, this is the funniest thing ever to him, he is laughing as hard as humanly possible. Eventually he calms down enough to get a few words out]

Oh god, that has got to be the stupidest name I've ever heard!

[warrens]

[ Calmly taking an egg out of his belt, he looks it over before tossing it at Jack's head; inside is a mixture of pink and lilac powder, so enjoy that. ]

[jacksonoverland]

[Jack is not amused. Startled by the egg, he's trying to shake off the powder and he's even spitting some out. How'd it get in his mouth anyways? Bad Bunny.]

Was that really necessary, [His voice is deadpan, but he pauses suddenly smiling] Aster? [Aaand another fit of laughter]

[warrens]

Shut up, Jackson.

[ WHATEVS HIS NAME IS BOSS. Sobs. ]

[jacksonoverland]

You're not my mother, Bunnymund.

[warrens]

[ That's better than Bunny Man, thankfully. Small victories? He'll take them where he can. ]

That woman must have nerves of steel and the patience of a saint.

[jacksonoverland]

[It sounds just like Bunny Man. Easter Bunny Man. Great name, really]

Aw, come on. I was a great kid. Since you and Santa and all that are real, you must know. After all, I didn't get coal.

[warrens]

[ Grumbles. ]

Still in the running.

[jacksonoverland]

Admit it already, Aster. I'm a good egg.

[Pun totally and obviously intended]

[warrens]

C'mere and I'll rap on your noggin to make sure of that.

[jacksonoverland]

No, I'm good.

[Suddenly it hits him about the thing he just said a few moments ago. The thing!]

Wait. So Santa is real?

[warrens]

Of course North's real, never stops blabbering on about how important Christmas is.

[jacksonoverland]

[Jack's grin is pretty much the biggest and widest grin to have ever been seen. He's just overflowing with happiness at this news! He really likes Santa...]

Okay, that is the coolest thing ever! That is... just amazing. Santa's real. I can't believe it, I mean, I never saw him when I was little and I set all those booby traps for him so he'd have to get caught and then talk to me. But I told my parents all about the traps so I thought... Santa's real! Santa's real.

[warrens]

You are such a fanboy.

[ Loooool. Jack Frost, secretly a nerd for Santa. ]

[jacksonoverland]

You're just mad I like him better than you, aren't you?

[warrens]

Yeah, I'm beside myself over here.

[jacksonoverland]

It's okay, though. Not all holidays can be as great as Christmas. And no one's really expecting a bunny to live up to Santa Claus anyways.

[warrens]

Pushing your luck.

[jacksonoverland]

What? I'm just telling the truth.

[warrens]

Yeah, yeah, let's all waste our breath on how wondrous and magical Christmas is. Never heard that before!

[jacksonoverland]

You're really jealous, Bunny Man. Hey, are you jealous of other me too? He's not really a holiday, I think... but he's me, so he's still cooler than you.

[warrens]

You don't half go on.

[ That thin smile is given moments before a hind leg thumps the ground. Is that a hole opening up beneath Jack to swallow him up into ferns and tussocks a couple of feet below in Bunny's tunnels? Yup. ]

[jacksonoverland]

What the-

[And Jack falls into the hole and makes a plop sound on the grass. Thanks a lot]

Why would you do that?! I could've broken something!

[warrens]

Nah, I was counting you'd land on your head.

[ Hopping in after him, he slumps against a mossy wall. A couple of colorful eggs pop out of the ground on little legs and dance over to Jack. ]

[jacksonoverland]

[Jack gathers himself and sits up before he notices the eggs and inches slowly away from them]

Why do they have legs. Why are they moving. Are they supposed to do that? They never did that when I took them!
