After cleaning up from their Easter dinner, The Turtles, Rainbooms, Allies, Mutanimals, headed to the Canterlot Easter Parade downtown. Hokum Hare donned his Easter Bunny disguise and gave candy to children there as the mutants all wore civilian disguises. The groups all watched the parade that was full of great Easter floats. Before long, The Rainbooms appeared on a float that looked like an Easter basket and was really a stage. Each of the girls was wearing a special bonnet made by Rarity. Then they began to sing softly.
Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin’ down the bunny trail,
Hippity, hoppity,
Easter’s on its way.
Bringin’ every girl and boy Baskets full of Easter joy,
Things to make your Easter bright and gay.
Then, Rainbow began to shred it on her guitar as the tempo changed.
Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin’ down the bunny trail,
Hip, hop,
Easter’s on its way.
Bringin’ every girl and boy truckload full of Easter joy,
Things to make your Easter bright and a okay.
He’s got jelly beans for Tommy,
Colored eggs for sister Sue,
There’s an orchid for your Mommy
And there's something for your Daddy, too.
Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin’ down the bunny trail,
Hip! Hop! Easter's on it's way!
Everyone in the crowd danced to the song. Hokum took the liberty to hop on stage and have a little dancing moment before he bounced back to the kids as the girls continued the song.
You’ll wake up on Easter morning
And you’ll know that he was there
When you find those choc’late bunnies
he’s been hiding ev’rywhere.
“Try to do the things you should.”
Maybe if you’re extra good,
He’ll roll lots of Easter eggs your way.
Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin’ down the bunny trail,
Hip hop,
Easter's on it's way.
here comes Peter Cottontail,
here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hip hop,
Easter's on it's way.
Hip Hop,
Happy Easter Day!
As the song ended, everyone applauded to the performance. The CMCs were a little far back a ways to get a good view. Then, Sweetie Belle noticed something.
"Hey girls. Look at this!" Applebloom and Scootaloo looked to see Sweetie Belle pick up an Easter egg.
"Where'd that come from?" Scootaloo raised a brow.
"Maybe Hokum hid it." Applebloom pondered.
-------
"Nope. Can't say I did." Hokum shook his head as the girls asked him about the egg. "Besides, I'm giving out candy this time around." He then took his leave.
"If Hokum didn't hide this, who did?" Sweetie Belle wondered.
Applebloom had a thought. "You don't think.... It was him?"
"You mean.... The real Easter Bunny?" gasped Scootaloo.
As the girls wondered, a large rabbit's foot appeared in an alley as it's shadow showed it taking his leave.
