The room was full of chatter as everyone had gathered in the dining room for a special Saturday Breakfast, by Chef Salvo. He was making each of them a special dish, so they all had to patiently wait, but his meals were always worth the wait.
Jinx and Snowball were the last ones waiting, and their stomachs were starting to growl. Alabaster looked at them and smiled as he said, “Are you sure Chef Salvo didn’t forget about you two?” while putting a nice juicy bite of sausage in his mouth, washing it down with some strong black coffee.
“No! He couldn’t forget about us!”, they replied with confidence, but Snowball was beginning to wonder. It did seem to be taking extra long. More time passed and Jinx was thinking of going back to the kitchen to see what Chef Salvo was up too, when out he came.
He was carrying 2 platters and he was apologizing as he walked towards them.
“I am so sorry that your platters are late, my friends. I had written down everyone’s orders on special sheets of paper so that i wouldn’t forget them. Somehow I got my words scrambled and messed up with yours. Sorry again for the wait, I hope you still enjoy it!”
Jinx and Snowball assured them they would. The meal was very good. Scrambled eggs and sausage with some donuts on the side was Snowball’s order. Jinx had a soft boiled egg with some biscuits and gravy, and a fruit salad.
They finished up and then asked Jangle and Alabaster if they wanted to go take some spins on Dinosauris. Jangle was up for it, but Alabaster said he couldn’t for he had other plans. When they asked what they were he just gave a coy smile, said they would see and walked out the door whistling a happy tune.
The others looked at each other. “Well, I wonder what is up with him?” said Jangle. The others nodded their heads in wonder too, and then left to take a ride on their favorite dragon.
Alabaster was still whistling as he got to his little house and started getting ready for his adventure. He was excited about Santa trusting him with something so important, he sure hoped that nothing would go wrong.
Meanwhile the rest were having fun with Dinosauris who was zipping through the sky. After the 3rd ride, Jangle was a little unsteady on his feet and decided that he needed to go back home and rest some. Snowball and Alabaster agreed with one look at his pale face.
“What do you want to do now?” asked Snowball. “We have a couple hours until Alabaster is gong to reveal his surprise.”
Alabaster had found them earlier and told them he would be gone for awhile but that he would be back in a couple hours with his surprise.
“What about a sleigh ride, we should be back in plenty of time.” Jinx said, so off they went to get ready to go on a little sleigh ride adventure.
Jinx was going rather fast around the corners and Snowball was egging him on to continue.
As he went around one sharp corner, Snowball said, “Wow! Good one, Jinx!”
Jinx turned to face him and put up his hand to give him a High five.
Thud! The sleigh hit something big and bounced up in the air for a little way, before it landed back down in the snow on its side. Jinx and Snowball fell off into the snow.
“What did you hit Jinx?” asked a dazed Snowball as he stood up brushing himself off.
“I have no… wait, what is that sound?”
They looked in the direction of the sound and were shocked to see Alabaster running towards them yelling.
“Do you guys know what you just did?” said Alabaster jumping up and down while waving his hands in the air.
Jinx and Snowball looked at each other, and back at Alabaster.
“Well, we hit something but we are OK, so why do you sound and look so agitated ?”
Before he could answer, they took a closer look around them, seeing colored eggs scattered all over the snow.
“Where did all these…?”
“You ran over the Easter Bunny!” shouted Alabaster. They all gasped, as they noticed him lying just a couple feet away from them not moving.
“Is he.. is he…. dead??’ Snowball asked. They all stared, not saying a word.
What a surprise ending! Hope the bunny is okay!!!

Was the Easter Bunny at a crosswalk or was he jay-hopping? It’s really probably the reindeer’s fault. I mean, they ran over somebody’s grandma once too.
That Alabaster sure gets around. He was off on an errand for Santa, then he was there to see Jangle’s pale face, then he wouldn’t be back for a couple hours with the surprise.

If the reindeer did have too much candy it was probably Alabaster who fed him the candy!

I don’t know. It wasn’t Alabaster who wanted to go on the crazy sleigh 🛷 ride. I’d look to Jinx.
And maybe question Santa on his dietary program. An all candy and hot chocolate diet can lead to these issues. He should import some fruits and veggies for his staff.
