Chapter One
There is a magical pale blue porcelain egg trimmed with swirls of solidified pink and white frosting which belonged to someone very, very special. It was the egg of the Easter Rabbit. Through this priceless egg, the Easter Rabbit gazed at little boys and girls watching to see which ones deserved Easter baskets.
From his burrow in the ground he spied on children and planned for his Easter visits. Deep within the ground near his burrow he boiled hundreds of Easter eggs cooking them for exactly ten minutes each, for it never would do to have under cooked runny Easter eggs.
The smell from the cooking eggs was vented to a nearby volcano so that no one discovered where the rabbit lived. Do you know where he lived? His clever plan had worked for over a hundred years.
Eggs in every color of the rainbow were dyed in his boiling rooms. Hens of many different varieties belonged to the United Hens of America sat on nests and were patted and pampered by rabbits so that they produced large enough eggs to go in 'Easter baskets.
RRRRnnngg- an alarm sounded and the Easter rabbit hopped over and checked on the problem. Oh no! The pea green dye in this batch of eggs looked more brown than green and it would never do to have manure colored eggs in the Easter baskets so the entire batch needed to be dumped and turned over to the community's food kitchen and made into potato salad where it would be served for lunch in the homeless shelters the kind rabbit supported as one of his philanthropic projects. Sometimes, he wondered if his working rabbits didn't do this on purpose. It happened quite often. He would have to pay a little more attention to his every day operations he supposed. Being the Easter rabbit was a calling that he loved and he performed his job perfectly.
In another room in his burrow dozens of rabbits posed as statues for chocolate Easter rabbits. The molds were completed and chocolate poured into various sized of rabbits so that children awakened on Easter morning and found perfectly shaped chocolate Easter rabbits in their baskets.
The Easter rabbit was a very large white rabbit who loved dressing in pale blue and pink satin suits with a large pink top hat designed with two holes which allowed for his two missile shaped ears to shoot up above his hat. His blue and pink checkered vest had a pocket from which dangled a gold picket watch. The Easter rabbit was perfectly suited for his occupation and was constantly thinking of new ideas, new toys, and treats which made the world a better place.
Sitting back in his overstuffed chair in his living room of his burrow, he thought deeply about his favorite child while he sipped his celery tea and ate his carrot cake. His pink nose twitched slowly and his pink eyes looked comfortably at his large house slippers adorned with cotton pom poms decorating the tips; the comfy mules looked rather worn, but he decided they would do for several more years. Reading his blog for the thousandth time, he realized that he hadn't updated his website in years! The children of the world probably thought that he was dreadfully out of date. Hopping to his computer, he keyed in the following words: classy, intelligent white rabbit desires to meet another female rabbit. Looks weren't too important, but interests and personality counted: female rabbit must be enthused about vegetarian cooking, fashion, bestsellers, philanthropy, and have an interest in children and adults, in other words be a people person or people rabbit.
A permanent relationship is desired. Said rabbit is fluent in ten languages: Croation, English, Tongan, German, French, Wali, Japanese, Chinese, Latin and Russian. Mr. E. Rabbit owned his own home, several businesses, over three thousand patents, and a Norwegian fishing boat. Hobbies: collecting Honorary Doctorates from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Oxford., etc.; enjoys winning gourmet vegetarian cooking contests and bake-offs. Currently listed in Who's Who in America, on page twenty-three and listed in the Guiness Book of records for the owner of the largest cook book of candy recipes.
Posting a current picture of himself wearing lime green designer jeans, an orange Picasso t shirt covered in sequins, and a white designer hat with a broad brim under which he had carefully rolled up his ears securing the rolls with rubber bands, he was supremely self satisfied. After all, if one couldn't love themselves could anyone else love them?
There, he thought. He liked generating interesting e-mails and made a few and pushed send before he went and reviewed his baby book. The gentleman hare was terribly lonely despite being surrounded by hundreds of rabbits. Somehow he had missed that one special rabbit that would have made his life worth living as well as making him a papa.
The Easter rabbit picked up his highly decorated, swirled egg, and looked to see how his favorite child in the entire world was doing. In the view finder he gazed at a blonde haired girl with long shoulder length hair who had a smattering of freckles or were they fairy kisses on her nose? A comely girl with an enchanting smile appeared in the window. Her hair, as usual was straight and on her head she wore a pink top hat displaying the name of her Ice Cream Factory in purple lettering. She was wearing a Schiaparelli pink better known as hot pink three piece pant suit complete with a contrasting polka dotted bow tie. Things looked normal in the Victorian home that she shared with her almost one hundred year old grandmother.
The double bed in which the elderly woman slept was neatly made and so was the cot alongside it where the girl slept. On the small table where Charlotte, for that was the girl's Christian name, finished her home work, was an essay. The rabbit read the title: The First and the Last Days of H.M.S. Titanic. Hmm, thought the rabbit, the girl picked interesting topics. Mr. E. Rabbit checked the paper for spelling errors and punctuation. There were none; the
