Prompt:
Wolpertinger has always loved spring, and the festive mood it tends to put everyone in. He loves to bound around, laughing loudly and creating fantastical stories to whisper to the flowers as they bloom. But one thing he has always loved, more than any other tradition, is that of hiding eggs. Usually they aren’t real eggs- he knows that, of course, and loves to fill his special ones with berries and sweets. He often hides them in the oddest of places as well, anywhere from up a tree to sitting out in plain view in the middle of a pond- how he got it there, no one really knows. But he thought it was a little lonely, really, hiding eggs all on his own, even if he loved seeing others being happy when opening them. This year, though? This year was different, for he met little Trix- a snitten fully ready physically to hatch, but not quite ready mentally, far too shy. Yet the little one seemed to love the idea of spring, and when Wolpertinger told them of his tradition of hiding eggs? Little Trix wanted in, and Wolpertinger was just odd enough to agree readily. So he grabbed the little one’s egg carefully, before taking off to go hide them in some bushes. Reasonably, this worries little Trix’s caretakers quite a lot- and if the egg hadn’t been so... well, obvious, it may have caused them a full blown panic. As it was though, they simply pretended to have to look for the bright blue egg, before “getting lucky” and spotting it (pretending not to hear the giggles) nearly ten minutes later. Trix loved the game very much, and asked Wolpertinger if they could do it again, maybe with a new egg one Trix had hatched.. Tinger, of course, agreed wholeheartedly.
Thus, a new spring tradition was born- one that frazzled the caretakers greatly.
