Easter 2020

April 11th:

Fluttershy stood at her front door, exchanging hushed whispers with Rarity.

"So, everything is ready?" asked the pegasus.

"Oh yes, I've got his outfit ready. And Twilight has the stage at Town Hall all set up. And, of course, Pinkie Pie and Applejack will be providing a spread for lunch."

"Oh, it all sounds lovely," said Fluttershy.

"Yes, tomorrow will -"

The door creaked open and a little white bunny rabbit hopped into the room.

Talking at a normal volume, Rarity stated, "Well, daring, I assure you that your spring dress will be fabulous. I'm glad you approve of my design. I must be off, there is ever so much I must get done. Goodbye Fluttershy." Glancing down at the rabbit, she said, "Goodbye to you, too, Angel."

The bunny eyed the unicorn suspiciously as she departed.

April 12th:

Fluttershy was preparing breakfast in the kitchen as a bunny hopped in. Looking up, she greeted, "Happy Easter, Angel."

Angel sat on his haunches and stared at Fluttershy.

"What do you mean, 'What's going on?'"

Angel crossed his forelegs.

Fluttershy smiled uneasily. "I'm not hiding anything."

Angel furrowed his brow and glared at Fluttershy.

Fluttershy sighed. "All right. There's an Easter pageant today at Town Hall. We thought you should be the Easter Bunny. The others will be here in an hour."

Angel huffed and hopped out of the room.

An hour later Fluttershy was busying herself in the sitting room when Angel hopped in. "Hello Angel."

He sat upright.

"Oh, you want to participate in the Easter pageant?"

The bunny nodded.

"Oh, excellent." She looked again at the rabbit. "Oh, I do suppose we have time for a cup of tea."

The bunny hopped into the kitchen and a minute later came out with two teacups. He passed a cup to Fluttershy as she took a seat on her couch, while he took the easy chair.

She smiled, "Cheers."

They both took a long sip from their cups. A moment later there was a swirl of bright white light. When it dissipated, Angel sat on the couch and Fluttershy sat on the easy chair.

"Angel" waved his forelegs wildly.

"Fluttershy" smiled evilly. "Oh, yes, I swapped Zecora's potion for tea. It did take quite a bit of food coloring to look believable."

Knock! Knock!

The pegasus trotted to the front door and greeted the assembled group of ponies. "Oh yes, Angel is all ready and is super excited for his big part in this year's pageant."

The bunny's eyes went wide with horror.

In front of everypony, the group gathered together for their final curtain call. Twilight said, "We all want to wish you a very happy Easter!"

In front of the group sat a very annoyed bunny rabbit in a frilly set of clothes and holding a large basket of colorful eggs. Behind the group stood a yellow pegasus with a wicked grin.
