I was surprised to find the next day, the adults had planned for us an Eater Egg Hunt. They grouped us into teams to search. Whoever found the most eggs and gained the most point by the end of the game won. One egg, a large golden one, was worth 150 points, but was quite difficult to find then collect. The rest of the eggs were worth 20 points. I was in a group with a peppy eagle who couldn't exactly fly called Clover and a confident giraffe called Coal. I, of course, was also teamed with my best friend Lime. We left the cottages in the morning and jumped straight into the game. The first couple eggs were easy, but as time went on they got harder to find. While Lime and I plucked a lapis blue egg from behind a bush, we heard Clover call out, "Hey! I found the golden egg!" We rushed over excitedly, Lime hopping along with the blue egg clutched in her paw. We placed it in the neat pile in front of us. Levitating in thin air was a giant golden egg, the sun catching it to make it glow beautifully. "It's not that hard. Clover, just flutter over there," Coal snorted. Clover widened his eyes with fear. "I can't flap over there! It's too far! I can't really fly anyway, either!" he squawked. "Anyway, it would be too heavy for one to carry alone," I pointed out. Lime was thinking hard, I could tell. "Why don't we use something to pull it towards us?" she suggested, gesturing to a block of boards they had found a red egg in before. "Yes! we can pull it towards us with the planks!" Coal shouted. "Aren't I so smart?" he boasted. Lime and I rolled our eyes. "Mhmm. Totally,"
Together we lifted a board and stretched it across the sky, touching the egg then pulling it and making it glide towards us. Finally, it landed on solid ground, gaining us 150 points. A while later, bells rung over the hideout, claiming the end of the Easter Egg Hunt. We carried our eggs back to the center of the area, in the case of the golden egg, rolling it, and let Sunset count out the points. We had won with 580 points! Huzzah!
