A/N- Happy Easter everyone! You get the regular chapter and a special chapter this week. The regular chapter will be posted later this week. This may be cannon later but not in the current story timeline. Anyway I hope you all enjoy and have fun today! Also the children's story mentioned is not written by me. I found it here:
I repeat it is not mine!

"You know, if you didn't like it then all you had to do was say so." Mettaton said not amused. His tone turning offended towards the end.

Not that you really noticed. It didn't matter. You were currently hunched over clutching your sides as silent laughter shook your entire being, tears streaking down your cheeks. Earlier, you had been working with Napstablook when you had been called to the robot idol's office, only to find Mettaton dressed up in an Easter bunny costume. He had long white ears, his nose painted pink with whiskers on his cheeks, and a fluffy cotton tail to pull the whole outfit off. Your sides hurt but you couldn't stop. Seeing him dressed up like that had made you lose it.

The clearly offended robot sat on the edge of his desk as he waited for your laughing fit to end. Putting his head in his hands, he watched your shaking form. Taking deep breaths, you slowly regained your composure. You walked over to the window seat and sat down while wiping tears from your face.

"You done, songbird?"

"Yes, yes! I'm done. What...what is this," You began to sign to him before gesturing to his get up. " all about?"

Mettaton raises an eyebrow at you. It was obvious that he wasn't sure if you were actually done laughing at him. Then again the big grin on your face probably wasn't reassuring him at all. You pretend to cough in your hand to hide some last minute giggles.

"Songbird, do I really look that silly? It's for Easter." he asks with an exasperated sigh.

Without any hesitation whatsoever, you give him a playful nod. "But I will admit, you look rather cute!" you sign to him with a silent giggle.

"Oh, darling, I think you can find a better adjective than that." Mettaton stood up tall and brushed his black locks from his face, giving you one of his signature poses.

"True, you look truly.... Egg-cellent." you sign to him only to receive a groan in return.

"Sans has corrupted you, my little songbird." Mettaton stated sitting back down on the edge of his desk while rubbing his temples. Immediately, your giggle fit was back and you rolled around on the window seat. When you managed to calm down again you see Mettaton watching you with a playful smirk on his face. "Well, at least one of us is having fun."

"So... Why?" you ask him again.

"Right! Well, my dear, I received an email from the children's hospital that isn't to far from here. They asked me to stop by for a visit." He said as he leaned back on the desk to read the email on his computer. "Of course, I naturally agreed. Since Easter is in the next couple days, I figured I would do something for the little dears while I was there."

"What were you planning on doing?" you signed to him once he had turned his attention back to you.

"I did some research and found this darling little story called The Hare and The Elephant." He picked up a printed off copy off his desk and handed it to you. "I figured I would perform it for the little cuties. Thus.." He struck a pose and used his arm to gesture down his getup. " the costume!"

You chuckled at him and flipped through the short story. "So why did you call me up here?"

"Well, this is all short notice and some of the kiddies are deaf or mute." Mettaton says while scratching the back of his head through the costume. "Would you mind being a translator for me?"
