It's the Easter Beagle, Remy Fox! by Remyfox819 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Remy was out in his backyard with Richard. They were carrying baskets with them and hunting colored eggs that had been scattered around the yard.

It was Easter. Remy's parents had invited the Stripes' over for a nice dinner.

Mrs. Fox had hid the eggs for them to find. Remy and Richard were having fun out there by themselves.

The day had become very cool and overcast, but it didn't put a damper their fun.

Richard look up at the darkening sky. "Looks like we've got some good rain coming," he said.

"I'm not worried," Remy smiled. "I don't mind getting a little wet. We're almost done anyway."

He turned his head around. "Hey, what's that?"

He pointed towards the backwoods and saw a figure skipping towards them.

"It looks like a dog," said Richard.

Sure enough, it was a dog. A small black and white beagle prancing merrily towards them.

He, too, carried an Easter basket and happily tossed more colored eggs on the ground.

Remy and Richard stared silently at the approaching beagle.

When the beagle made it up to them, he tossed Richard an egg. Remy was handed one as well.

Richard smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Beagle. Thank you!"

Remy too thanked him as he skipped merrily on his way.

As soon as the Beagle was out of sight, they felt the first drops of rain fall on their heads.

Remy and Richard decided to pick up the remaining colored eggs that the beagle had tossed and made their way back inside.

"Who was that?" Remy asked. "The Easter Bunny?"

Richard laughed. "More like the Easter Beagle."

Suddenly the rain came down hard on the two friends.

"Oh, good grief." Remy muttered as they ran for the door.
