It is, no matter how you look at it, fairly unoriginal. Magena comments dryly in his head, as he tilts it a bit more to the left so he would have a better view of the tree.

You think? he asks, openly, for there is no one there to hear him talking to himself. The courtyard is, or at least this corner of courtyard is, fairly empty. It doesn't seem so to me.

A nest full of chocolate eggs? With a baby chick in there with them? Completely original. she says sarcastically as he takes a step back. Don't tell me you're going to try and get it. she said suddenly, seeing what he was about to do.

There is a prize for a person who gets most eggs. he says, reaching for the lowest branch.

So you're going to break your neck for a bit of overpriced chocolate? she snorts as he pulls himself up. He is not overly strong, but he can at least pull his own weight up... Right?

Ugh he makes a weird sound as he sits on the branch, breathing heavily. No chocolate is ever overpriced. he said once he got his breath back, laughing. Plus, it's fun. And I am not going to break my neck...Hopefully.

Idiot. she said, rolling her eyes, before retreating back to the deepths of his mind.

Yeah, yeah... he sighs, continuing to climb the tree.

<div align=center>William had his sights set on a little egg wrapped in shiny pink wrapping with polka dots, he glanced around the courtyard, scanning for competition. That egg was his. The person that was going to stop him from that egg would be wise to think twice about it. Bill Beckett would fight tooth and nail for that easter egg if it was the last thing he did. His gaze flickered across the courtyard, where they were met with altogether a far stranger sight than he had expected. Momentarily he forgot about the egg, stood upright and stared at the boy in the tree. He got the feeling they both had their sights set on the same thing: easter eggs.

He broke into a small run, snatched up the little pink easter egg and bounded over to the large tree. He stared up at the boy in the tree for a moment, before glancing a little further upward at what he was quite obviously after. No way, Buster. William would steal that egg from him if it was the last thing he did. He could practically hear the wise words of Gabriel echoing in the back of his skull, climb that tree and you will break every bone in your body. He could risk breaking a bone for the glory of being supreme egg champion.

Bill grabbed the closest branch and swung himself up, wobbling ever so slightly before gaining his balance and scrambking a little further upwards. His eyes flickered to the stranger, locking onto his for a moment, before wrapping a hand around the branch above him and pulling himself a little further upwards. This was very likely a situation they would both end up heavily regretting soon enough.</div>

And would you look at that. Magena suddenly reappears, making him lose his balance for a moment. A sharp sense of fear runs through his whole body, an image of himself falling down flashing before his eyes, before he grabs the branch again, steadying himself.

Do not do that! he yelled at his sister, his heart still beating hundred miles a minute. Ever again!

Sorry. she said, feeling honestly guilty. I just thought you might want to know you're not the only idiot on the island. You've got competition.

Lysander looked down then and saw a young, or at least younger than himself, boy starting to climb the same tree as himself.

Oh no you don't. he laughed suddenly, smiling as he started to climb the tree faster, which wasn't really smart, considering that the branches were starting to get thinner and thinner as he went up.

That nest is mine! he yelled, grabbing for the next branch, for, while he wasn't usually competitive, he risked his head for this egg first, so, naturally, it was his. There was also a problem of Garrick.

Climb faster, you idiot! the werewolf screamed in his ears. There is no way that such a small pup can be allowed to beat you! Climb!

"Not so fast!"

Like a crazy rabbit or a psycho easter bunny, a small Japanese girl with a frilly dress and bunny ears was at the foot of the tree. She seemed to be rapidly taking off her platform shoes and her kneesocks. Her eyes were red with fury... But they were always red.

"Those eggs will be mine!"

Her fingers merged together into two sharp blades. She plunged them into the trunk of the tree like they were pick axes or a monoclaw. Her method seemed to be working as she gained in speed with the two boys. The wood in some places were still soft and she slid down sometimes, but she could at least feel for the branches underneath her feet.

However, could three people really fit in a tree? An ominous groaning of the branches interrupted all of them. The tree seemed to be swaying, but not by the wind.

And down we go. Magena said in an ominous tone as the tree swayed, and then, under the pressure of thee people trying to climb it, fell. In a stupid moment of stupid bravery, Lysander thought about a chick he had seen in the nest, reaching immediately for it as the three began to fall. Grabbing it, and then pressing it to the ches, Lysander waited for the tree to hit the ground.

There was a loud thud, and a bit of sharp pain in his shoulders, which Kisha immediately healed, and then nothing, except the feeling of the world going around in circles in his head. He waited for it to calm down before he opened his eyes.

Um, everybody alright? Anybody broke anything? I can heal it if you have. he asked, as he checked the nest he had grabbed from the tree.

As I said, completely unoriginal. Magena snorted at the fact that the 'chick' he had tried to save was fake. Inside the nest now laid just one bright blue easter egg, as other four rolled around the fallen tree.

<div align=center>William panicked as the girl ran close, and panicked even more when she seemed to be climbing a downside lot faster than he was. The best the boy could do was feebly struggle up the branches, one hand after another. It turned out that climbing trees was a lot more exhausting that he'd first realized. But then something happened. As the girl climbed a little further, the tree began to sway. William didn't think it was because of a light breeze. An almighty crack split through the peace of the courtyard, and the tree went down. William screamed, a high, girlish scream that rang out across the yard and bounced off the walls. "Timber!"

He let go of his branch as the tree fell, landing gracefully and making a break for it, only to stop himself from being crushed by the falling tree. As it hit the ground the boy tripped and fell face first onto the grass, struggling there for a moment before catching his breath and pushing himself up on his elbows. Anybody broke anything? Bill didn't think so, he got the feeling he'd be screaming a lot more if anything was broken.

Before he could answer, his eyes caught a shiny, blue glint some way off, followed by several other pretty colours. The nest! He glanced around to the other two, wondering if they'd spotted it. William cautiously pushed himself to his feet, taking a moment to brush himself off before making a bolt for it. It was his. This was his nest.</div>

Somebody screamed and it wasn't the girl.

Konishi's puncture marks in the tree made the trunk a lot weaker. It was expected the young tree would fall, unable to support the weight of three people. She slid down the trunk quickly, her monoclaws peeling up bark and bits of wood. It was an action that was more gamble than it was planned. She hit the ground hard, but she didn't seem to break anything. By her hands, she saw in the grass, a chocolate egg wrapped in foil. She scrambled up and grasped it greedily.

Only, that really tall girlish-looking boy seemed to have run off with the rest of the spoils. As though thinking the nest held all the eggs, she hastily put on her socks and did up her platform shoes.

"I'm fine!" she said to Lysander, about him treating wounds. She made a run for it, chasing the boy with the nest.

They sure seem...spirited. he said, looking at the two other people, who had just fell from the tree run around chasing...chocolate eggs. Shouldn't they be more worried?

They are crazy. Magena concluded simply, shrugging her shoulders with a sigh. There is another egg by your leg by the way. Try not to get trampled, okay? she said, as he reached to grab the blue-green egg.

Yeah, I guess I should, right? he said, looking at the egg in his hand. On one hand, it was extremely stupid to risk your life for that. On the other, he was extremely proud of himself.

Like hell you're getting those chocolates kiddies! he yelled, joining the wild hunt.

~~~

Xenia had been walking around the courtyard aimlessly for a while. Her 3DS had run out of power a while ago, and the darn thing wouldn't continue to work while it was charging. She tried listening to music, and trolling the internet, but nothing really seemed to pique her interest. Grudgingly, she decided that she should try to walk outside and meet some new people. Maybe someone with a working 3DS that she could "borrow."

In the back of her mind, she began thinking about the current Easter Egg Hunt that was happening in the school that week. She already had quite a few, but didn't expect much from the courtyard. Hundreds of students milled through the courtyard every day, and from a quick search of the bushes and trees, they had done a fairly good job of picking the place clean. She decided that it was probably time to check somewhere else and began strolling slowly toward the beach, passing under the shade of the trees.

Suddenly, she heard a gut wrenching snap and a deafening crash from behind her, She turned slowly around to see a huge tree throw three students down onto the ground, littering them with stray twigs, leaves, and of course, at least a dozen brightly coloured eggs. She broke out into immediate laughter as the three began to take stock of themselves. She trotted over to the crime scene, still laughing hysterically and picked up a small egg that was rolling around on the ground.

"Are you guys okay?" she asked, tucking the egg into her pocket. She wouldn't be much help if they WEREN'T okay, but it was the polite thing to ask, she assumed.
