The day of the hunt was a bright sunny day. I watched in a Pink bunny
suit as kids piled out of theirs parents cars and some came in to the 
hunt in trucks. Children with bright smiles and brightly colored 
baskets. Floppy was late. Mrs. Barnes came running up to me with 
worried eyes. 

“ He still isn’t here! Oh my god, I knew I should have made my teenage
son and his friends do this for me!” 

I Adjusted my bunny necktie. 

“ IM sure he will be here soon.”As on cue, Floppy staggered over to me
and hung on me. Mrs. Barnes walked away fast and over to the microphone 
to announce the start of the hunt. Floppy wasn’t standing right and 
when I tried to fix his Bunny head, I caught whiff of a strong smell of 
whiskey. Dear God he was drunk! 

“ Floppy are you drunk!!??” 

Somewhere in his bunny suit I heard his laughter. 

“ Big fiesta! Big party!” 

“ It’s ten o’clock in the morning!” 

I hissed. Grabbing his arm and leading him out into the field. I handed
him his yellow basket of bright plastic eggs. At first it was like a 
beautiful movie. When the hunt started a young girl with blonde 
pigtails grabbed my hand and we took off together looking for eggs. 
Then, I tripped over the huge bunny feet. Rolling down a small slope I 
took out at least five kids. I heard gasps. When I stood back up 
wobbly, a young child was crying. She kicked my foot and yelled. 

“ You hurt my brother! You are the meanest Easter bunny.” 

Before I could try to calm her down I heard screams from the parents.
Floppy was jumping around hitting the parents with his plastic eggs. 
Mothers shrunk away. Deciding to be the hero I tried to run to Floppy. 
The bunny feet tripped me again and I feel on three more children who 
began to wail. I caught sight of Mrs. Barnes holding her head in her 
hands with her mouth wide open. Floppy had now turned and was pegging 
children with Easter eggs. Suddenly I heard the angry shouts of 
Mothers. And they were coming right at me! 

Somehow I ran to my car. I heard the first wails of the cops sirens. I
ran and zigzagged between cars trying to get to mine. Running out into 
a clearing four police cars were parked with flashing lights. Four 
officers had their guns pulled. One broad shouldered officer advanced 
towards me. 

“ Freeze!! Dont move!!” 

I put my hands up, and my basket slid down onto my arm. it swung back
and forth slowly. The officer ripped off my headset and shook his head. 


“ This is the girl! We need the Mexican man!” 

Finding my car I dropped the basket and got in. Pulling away from the
field that now was taken over by police cars and angry parents I drove 
away fast. Looking in my rearview mirror I watched as my basket of 
bright colored eggs lay tossed across the street. I wondered if I would 
still get paid.
