It was a sunny morning over Toadtown and it was Easter Sunday. The sun was bright and it looked like it would be a good day. At the Peach Castle, it was a sunny morning and outside there was a large crowd. Today was the Easter Egg Hunt and the young toads from all over the area had come for the hunt.

Behind a bush Andrea, Molly and Max were once again ready. This year they were aiming to find the golden egg. It was the most important egg of the hunt They pulled out a map of the egg hunt area and were excited.

"Maybe it's right here," pointed Andrea.

Meanwhile on the other side was Zario with his friend Tavi this year they were planning to steal all the eggs again. Soon the crowds arrived at the side where the slope went down into the orchard. Andrea and Max were making final preparations while Molly was making sure the baskets were sturdy.

Zario and Tavi were looking around to see any competitors. Zario then saw little toads in diapers trying to stand up with small baskets.

"Pfft look at those babies," laughed Zario.

Tavi and Zario snickered together and grabbed their baskets and went to the starting line. Toad was standing on a grand podium with a large bullhorn.

"ALL CHILDREN COME TO THE STARTING LINE," screamed Toad.

Toads of all ages arrived at the starting line and everyone was excited. Zario and Andrea saw all the eggs glisten as the sun hit them. The tension was rising quickly because whoever got the eggs got the Large Chocolate Bunny. Either way, all the eggs had gold coins and candy anyway.

Zario and Andrea then spotted each other and Andrea scoffed.

"Take down Zario," whispered Andrea to her friends.

Toad lifted his megaphone and everyone was tense. The hill was ahead, a hill full of riches for young toads. Baskets were lifted and spirits were high and everyone was excited. Toad breathed and lifted his hand slowly. Everyone got in running positions when suddenly Toad remembered.

"Wait before everyone goes remember no rolling down the hill. We had quite a situation last year" said Toad.

He then lifted the megaphone and screamed!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," he screamed.

Tavi jumped and rolled and everyone screamed as babies and toads were tripped up. Andrea bit her lip in anger and began to run down the hill quickly. She scooped up eggs in her basket rolling down the hill picking up a path of eggs down to the orchard. She had to find the golden egg before Zario could!

Molly and Max split up to go after Zario and Tavi. Eggs were collected fast and down at the bottom of the hill there was a portable fence to signal the end of the hunting field. Zario ran to the very bottom so he could work his way up. Tavi meanwhile was quickly picking up eggs. At the top of the hill on a trophy stand was the large chocolate bunny.

"Hurry," said Andrea.

Her basket was becoming full and she rushed past some babies picking up eggs. Andrea was becoming more nervous as seconds past. She then saw something shining when suddenly a young toadette picked it up.

"MOMMY THE GOLDEN EGG," she screamed!

Zario looked up and Andrea screamed he ran up the hill quickly and the toadette was smiling. Andrea ran to stop Zario he could not have the golden egg. Everyone gasped as they looked up and the toadette screamed and flung her basket. Everyone in the crowd gasped and Tavi caught the basket.

The toadette started crying and Tavi ran off with the basket. Max and Molly jumped out a bush and tripped Tavi and she screamed!

"OWWWW," she screamed.

She hit the grass and the eggs crashed on the ground. Molly and Max searched through the batch of eggs for the golden egg. Zario and Andrea ran to help and Zario was angry Tavi had tripped.

Zario was running and Toad was watching as it looked like a battlefield. Suddenly he tripped on a baby's basket and the baby screamed. Easter eggs went everywhere. Toad watched and the chocolate bunny stood grandly over the hill as the battle was ending in a few minutes. So the eggs could be counted to see who had won.

"HURRY," screamed Andrea.

Tavi got up to get the basket back from Molly. He snatched it and Zario arrived and lifted Max and Molly's basket and ran up the hill so he could win. The chocolate bunny was now his Andrea screamed and ran up the hill after him!

"STOPP," she screamed!

Toad was at the top of the hill and then Andrea grabbed Zario and he grabbed the table cloth!

"AHHH," screamed Toad!

Everyone screamed as the chocolate bunny was dragged backwards! Suddenly the bunny hit the ground and everyone gasped! Zario looked down and screamed loudly and the easter egg hunt was over.

"That was not correct," said Peach!

She was lecturing the kids and Mario and the crew looked at the chocolate bunny.

"At least we have one in the freezer for us," laughed Mario!
