Gus and Trudy usually saved Easter morning to share with the Easter Bunny. Usually EB was so tired from his all night basket delivering that he needed some resting time with Gus and Trudy. This year was different. This year EB was going directly home after his basket delivering. Gus and Trudy were, as ever, very polite and never questioned why. They just extended the invitation for next year. EB readily accepted.
However, this left Gus and Trudy at a loss as to what to do Easter morning. Gus voted for staying extra long in bed. But, then again, Gus always wanted to stay exa long in bed.
Trudy felt that they should offer a cheery breakfast to some poor souls who never were invited anywhere.
Even before she had hooted out the words, Gus was stomping his foot and yelling,"There's a reason why they are not invited anywhere....they are pesky!"
Trudy looked down her sharp beak at Gus. "If creatures were invited places only on the basis of their pleasantness, I would say that you would be home a great deal."
Gus thought about it for a minute. When Trudy was right, he was right.
So the plans were made and the Pixies were invited over for Easter morning. Gus was on the watch for the start of any pixie wildness. If you let them start their wildness it gets out of hand, he thought darkly.
Trudy was the perfect hostess. She kept the pixies in line and they all had a very pleasant morning. When the breakfast was done and all the dishes washed and out away and the last pixie was out the front door, Gus breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Finally, all was calm and quiet in TE little garden on Bloomfield Avenue.
