GUSTHE EASTER OWL Sequel to Gus the Space Ranger
Hello, I’m Gustavo but call me Gus. This is one those Easter stories. I hope you like it. Since I can’t write, I’m having William do it for me.
On the night before Easter, the enclosures were quiet, not even a peep. That’s when I saw a giant pink bunny. At that very moment, a wolf with rabies bit it then left. That’s when Ed came out brought him in!
Everyone figured out he was the Easter bunny. Later he asked me, “To my new friend, will you deliver these baskets for me?”
“Got it, Mr. Bunny,” I replied.
“Since you’re not magical as I, here is a partner and here is your Easter present. Open it tomorrow, he added.
My partner was a little chick named Spike. A cute fella and amusing, too. So we flew up and, went. A couple hours later, Spike gave bad news “WE MISSED VIRGINIA”! We were flying from China to the United States.
We were at Waynesboro, Virginia and up to the last house. Spike passed out on the soft grass so it was up to me. I flew up went in the chimney and set the baskets, grabbed Spike and left. The next morning, the animals at the W.C.V. got amazing Easter presents, but I got the most amazing one. It’s a magical ball that shows where Misty is. No one knows where she is, but I know she is out of trouble.
The Easter Bunny has been released, and Spike started working at the W.C.V. Yes, a little chick that talks to humans and animal. Bye, life is good.
THE END AND HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easter Owl
One day the Easter Bunny was having a good day until a cat came up and injured him. A car pulled over and a man picked up the Easter Bunny and took him to the Wildlife Center of Virginia. Miss Amanda put him next to Alex and Pignoli’s pen. The Easter Bunny said, “Can you deliver these Easter eggs?” “Alright,” said Alex, “It’s time to suit up!” So Alex and Pignoli opened a portal. They crossed it into the wide world. They flew around the world. When they got to Miss Amanda’s house, they put an egg on the front porch and returned to the Wildlife Center of Virginia. Andrew
The Easter Bunny asked Gus to deliver his deliveries. The Easter Bunny told Gus what to do. The first thing he had to do was to dress up like the Easter Bunny. The second thing was to hide the Easter eggs. The Easter Bunny said, “I picked Gus because he could lay the eggs and hide them like me. He can think like a human.” The Easter Bunny likes when they do the same thing like him. Gus was so excited that he even started hiding the eggs at the Wildlife Center, even under Miss Amanda’s desk and inside the A3 pen. Gus was getting ready for Easter. He was so sad because he wouldn’t find any Easter eggs, but Gus was excited because he had to hide the Easter eggs for Easter. Gus still got to look for at least 30 Easter eggs. Gus was so happy because it was Easter and he got to look for Easter eggs! After all that happened everyone got what they wanted. But the Easter Bunny was still injured and Gus had to do the same thing next year! By Areli Gus, the Easter Owl
It was a hot day at the Wildlife Center of Virginia. The Easter Bunny came hurt with Miss. Amanda caring for him. He got hurt by a dog that bit his leg and it hurt when he jumped. So he decided to ask Gus if he would like to fill his place. Gus said he would.
Gus was so excited that he was going to deliver baskets to little boys and girls. He was so excited that he dressed as a bunny. Miss Amanda started chuckling and so did the Easter Bunny.
The next day, on Easter night, Gus was ready to deliver. The Easter Bunny told him some tips and how to do things. Gus went to the first house and got in it with magic. He hid the baskets and eggs inside the house and left. Then he kept on going to house to house and to blocks.
He was at the last place, the Wildlife Center of Virginia, to deliver baskets to the ambassadors and workers.
In the morning, all the ambassadors and the workers were surprised. They thanked Gus because they knew it was him. The Easter Bunny was there for a couple weeks until he was healed and he was released. He thanked Gus for all his hard work.

Misty, the Easter Owl
The Easter Bunny arrived at the Wildlife Center of Virginia about an hour ago. He had gotten attacked by a bear and tried to make it across the road, but luckily someone stopped him.
After that he had got a ride to the Wildlife Center of Virginia. Once there, he was x-rayed and fixed up. There was a sudden commotion.
“Well uh, what’s going on?” asked the Easter Bunny.
“Misty’s back!” Gus screamed in excitement.
“Oh dear. Too much going on,” the Easter Bunny complained in an exhausted voice.
“It looks like you got attacked by a bear,” Gus pointed out while staring the Easter Bunny up and down.
“Well, it was a wimpy bear,” replied the Easter Bunny.
The Easter Bunny hopped over to Misty. “Vas happenin?!?, Okay, sorry. That happens when I’m around pretty people. Do you think you could do me a favor though?” he asked in a smooth voice.
“Uhm, Thank,s I guess? I would love to do you a favor…beause I’m nice like that,” replied Misty. She thought the Easter Bunny was mad, but she liked helping people.
“Well here is the magic dust. Just sprinkle it over the baskets and they should shrink, and here is the door dust. Sprinkle it on the door step and the door should disappear,” the Easter Bunny informed Misty.
Misty shook her head. “Gosh, you are mad, rabbit,” she mumbled to herself. She shrunk the baskets and ‘the door dust’ and attached it all to her wing.
~*Ze Next Night*~
After delivering all the baskets, all over the world, which was exhausting, Misty was back at the Wildlife Center.
“So, how did it go?!?” asked the Easter Bunny, dying to hear the news.
“It was delightful!” she said with a thick British accent for some reason. Obviously someone spent a little bit too much time in England.
“You didn’t talk to any of the children right?” asked the Easter Bunny.
“Not at all,” Misty answered back, the accent all of a sudden gone.
He handed her a coin. “Keep this with you, at all times and nothing bad will happen to you, ever again,” the Easter Bunny smiled sweetly.
Misty put the coin away. She decided that the rabbit wasn’t that mad, he just was serious about his job.
And that my friend, is the story of Misty, the Easter Owl.

Gus as the Easter Bunny
Miss Amanda was driving to the WCV. She saw the Easter Bunny hurt so she pulled over and took him to the WCV. He had broken his leg. He got an enclosure by Gus.
‘’So, Gus do you know how to fly?’’ asked the bunny.
‘’Yes, I do know how to fly,’’ Gus replied.
‘’So will you do Easter for me?’’ the Bunny replied.
‘’Yes, I will do Easter for you,’’ Gus replied.
So the Easter Bunny gave Gus the Easter basket. “Tonight you have to leave to deliver.”
‘’Ok, I will leave tonight,’’ Gus replied.
It started getting dark outside. Almost everyone was gone. In 30 minutes, everyone was going to be gone. Gus knew how to open the door to get out of the WCV. When everyone was gone, he opened the door.
‘’I am leaving now,’’ Gus replied.
‘’Bye! Have fun but don’t get hurt,’’ said the Easter Bunny.
Gus started in Virginia first, and then went all around the world. After a while he was finished with a lot of the cities and countries. Then he was going to be in Bullhead City. He was there to hide a lot of eggs because he knew that Mrs. Matheson class was there.
After that, he finished delivering to the rest of the world. He hurried back to the Wildlife Center of Virginia so no one would find him out of his enclosure. He was really tired and fell asleep really fast.

Easter Bunny Substitute
One day Easter Bunny woke up. “Ahh, what a nice day morning,” said Easter Bunny.
He woke up with his dog, Rebel. “Good Morning, Rebel,” said Bunny. He got up from his bed, put on his slippers, and made himself some eggs and bacon. After he was finished, he brushed his teeth and then it was time to go to work as the Easter Bunny.
When he was hopping along he smelled a jar with carrots. He hopped to the jar and put his head in the jar. He grabbed a carrot and when he was trying to get his head out, he realized his head was stuck! Just then, Ms. Amanda came driving by. She saw poor Easter Bunny and took him to the Wildlife Center.
“Hey, Dr. Adam, we got another one with a jar on his head!” shouted Ms. Amanda as she walked into the emergency room.
“Awe, man that looks bad, but I think I can take it off,” said Dr. Adam.
“Look on the bright side, at least this one doesn’t spray!” said Davis as he walked into the room.
“Yeah,” said Amada, giggling,
Dr. Adam got the jar off and put Easter Bunny in a crate to rest. Easter Bunny thought, “What am I gonna do now? I have to deliver these eggs. Easter’s coming,”
Just then Ms. Amanda came into the room. “Hi, Bunny. What’s wrong? You look kind of sad,” asked Amanda, concerned.
“It’s just that I’m sad because I’m supposed to be delivering eggs, but I’m in here, so, instead I’m letting everyone down,” said Easter Bunny.
Amanda thought for a moment. “Oh, don’t worry Easter Bunny. I think we can get one of the ambassadors here to help,” said Ms. Amanda, helpfully. “Oh really? Thanks! Umm . . . do you think Buttercup would be the substitute for me? I have a little crush on her,” Easter Bunny said, his cheeks turning red.
“Oh okay then I will go ask her right now,” said Amanda.
*Knock Knock*
Buttercup answered, “Come in! We’ll play with my pink tennis ball.”
Amanda entered, announcing, “Hey Buttercup, I need to ask you something important, “said Amanda. When Buttercup had given Amanda her attention, Amanda explained. “Well, you know the Easter Bunny that came in this week? Well, he needs to recover for a few days and I told him one of the ambassador’s would make his deliveries for him. He picked you because he has a crush on you.”
Buttercup thought for a moment. “Sure, I would love to help.”
Buttercup went to see the Easter Bunny. She brought him a get well card. He explained to her what she needed to do. “Here’s what you have to do. It’s pretty simple. All you do is say ‘Hi, I’m the substitute Easter Bunny and then you hand them their eggs.”
“Okay, it doesn’t seem that hard,” said Buttercup.
Buttercup went to Rotary Park to delivered 200 eggs.
“Hi, I’m the Substitute for the Easter Bunny. I’m here to deliver 200 eggs for the Easter egg hunt,” said Buttercup, shyly.
The guy looked shocked at Buttercup with his mouth hanging wide open.
Buttercup was annoyed with him, “Yes I’m a talking black vulture. Big whoop. Get over it. I have a job to do.”
Buttercup then flew around and delivered all the eggs. After Buttercup was done, she flew back to the Wildlife Center. She met with the Easter Bunny to tell him all about it. “Thank you so much, Buttercup. I’d like to reward you by buying you dinner at Catch-a-Mouse Dinner.”
“Sounds good to me!”

Easter Bunny + Buddy = Buddy the Easter Bunny
I am going to tell you about what happened one Easter to the Easter Bunny.
One day at the WCV, the Easter Bunny was at the front door with a note in his paw. Miss. Amanda went outside and saw him lying down with the note in his paw and his right arm was hurt. She noticed it was the Easter Bunny. She thought about what she was going to do with him. Without him there would be no EASTER. So she took him inside and Dr. Miranda checked him out. He was really hurt.
It was two days before Easter and he was feeling better so he hopped all the way to Buddy’s room. He asked him, “Buddy would you like to help me with Easter?”
“What do you mean you’re the Easter Bunny? You’re lying now get out!” said Buddy.
The Easter Bunny replied, “Wait! Yes, I am too the Easter Bunny! And I was told you’re a really good artist.”
“Would I get Easter too?” Buddy asked.
“Sure, why not?” Easter Bunny said.
“Are you trying to trick me?”
“Now why would I do that?” asked the Easter Bunny.
“Fine! Then you have to prove it! Ha-ha! You can’t!” laughed Buddy.
“Yeah, I’ll prove it because I can!”
So the Easter Bunny laid some Jelly beans and Buddy said “OMG! I can’t believe kids and I eat that!” “That’s what I do,” stated the Easter Bunny.
“Ok I will start working on them.”
Buddy started working on them he made some with polka dots. He had so much fun.
Day 2: Easter is here
“It’s the day here I go,” Buddy said excitedly.
Buddy went house to house, delivering the Easter baskets. He had the best day of his life. When he came back the Easter Bunny came in and said, “I am really proud of you , you did a better job than I did .”
“Thank you, Easter Bunny. This was the biggest thing I ever did,” said Buddy.
The Easter Bunny gave him big gifts with what he did and everything went back to normal.

Pignoli, the Easter Owl
“Pignoli, you have to deliver the Easter eggs,” said the Easter Bunny.”
“But why me?” Pignoli asked.
The Easter Bunny said, “Because I hurt my paw,” said the Easter Bunny.
Pignoli did not know what to say. The Easter Bunny hoped that he would say yes.
After thinking about it, Pignoli said, “Okay,” with a grin, “But what do I have to do.
“You deliver the Easter baskets to the houses. But, most important, don’t let no body see you,” the Easter Bunny said.
“How hard can it be?” thought Pignoli, “I can do it.”
The Easter Bunny told him that he had to deliver all the eggs in 24 hours. Pignoli rushed around, going to every house until finally he reach the last city in Arizona.
Pignoli said excitedly, “Wow! I found the classroom that adopted my buddy Gus and made him famous. I will leave a gold egg for them.”
Pignoli returned to the Wildlife Center of Virginia. “I am almost forgot them! I can’t forget them; they helped me be an ambassador.” Pignoli hid the eggs everywhere, even in NX’s pen and under Miss Amanda’s desk.
When he was back in his enclosure, Pignoli thought about his experience. “I am tired. Wow! What a day! With eggs like that, next time I am telling Gus to deliver the eggs!”

One day the Easter Bunny was jumping and a big rock was in front of him. He fell and he was hurt. He was one mile from the hospital at the Wildlife Center of Virginia. A boy saw him and he called the ambulance. Five minutes later the ambulance got him to the Wildlife Center of Virginia. Three days later, Pignoli walked the Easter Bunny out of the hospital one night. Pignoli helped Easter Bunny to deliver the eggs to the houses. They finished delivering all the eggs. Pignoli said, “Thank you for letting me help you.” The Easter Bunny said, “You’re welcome.” Pignoli said good bye to the Easter Bunny and told him to watch where you jump! They did not want to see him at the Wildlife Center of Virginia again.

EASTER OWL One day the Easter Bunny got hurt by hitting his toe on his chair. He went to the Wildlife Center of Virginia to be treated. He said, ‘’I need someone to take over my place as the Easter Bunny.’’ The Easter Bunny saw Gus and thought he was perfect. The Easter Bunny went to ask Gus, ‘’What is wrong with you?’’ ‘’I’m imprinted.’’ Gus replied. ‘’What is imprint?” asked the Easter Bunny. ‘’That means I think I’m a person.’’ Gus said. ‘’Oh, okay’’ answered the Easter Bunny. He thought for a minute. The Easter Bunny announced, ‘’Hey Gus! I would like to know if you would like to be the Easter Owl?’’ “Sure,” said Gus, “I can think like a person and hide the baskets really good.” Now it is Easter. Gus was so excited because he was the Easter Owl .He delivered every basket to every kid in the world. The Easter Bunny was happy for Gus. “Thank you, Easter Bunny. That was fun!’’ Gus said.

Buttercup to the Rescue!!!! One day, it was Easter. I went to visit Miss Amanda. After 30 minutes later I went outside to get some air. When I opened the door, I saw the Easter Bunny lifting weight,s but the weights were too heavy and the weights fell on him. I went to tell Miss Amanda. They took the Easter Bunny inside to check if he was okay. Twenty minutes later, Miss Amanda told the Easter Bunny that he couldn’t deliver the eggs. Buttercup came in to help. Buttercup delivered 1,325 eggs. The next day, she returned to her enclosure. Miss. Amanda was very proud and that is the story of the substitute Easter Bunny.

One sunny day at the park, the Easter Bunny was playing on the on the swings…..when he fell off.
The Easter Bunny cried,” Owwww, my arm hurts!”
Ms. Amanda saw the Easter Bunny and took him to the Wildlife Center of Virginia.
When they got to The Wildlife Center of Virginia, they took some x-rays. The Easter Bunny had broken his arm.
The Easter Bunny asked, “How am I going to be able to make my deliveries to all the children?”
Ms. Amanda answered, “I’m sorry, but no. I can have an ambassador do it for you, though.”
“Okay! That would be great!” said the Easter Bunny.
Ms. Amanda was holding the Easter Bunny and walked by the enclosures.
Ms. Amanda told the Easter Bunny,” You may pick an ambassador to be a substitute for you. Would you like to pick one?”
The Easter Bunny answered, “I would love too, thank you!”
“You’re welcome,” replied Ms. Amanda.
As they walked by Gustavo, he yelled,” He’s the one! He’s perfect! He is a bird, that means he can fly around the world. He can move faster than others!”
“Ok! He’s really nice! Just tell him what he needs to know and he will be on his way. This will give your foot time to heal,” said Ms. Amanda.
It was two days until Easter and Gustavo has been trained so he was ready to go!
The next day, seemed like such a long day, but it was worth it! Gus put bunny ears on his head and the Easter Bunny watched him fly away. “Bye,” screamed the Easter Bunny.
As Gustavo flew away, he thought to himself, “I think this is going to be a thing that’s once in a lifetime.”
When Gustavo reached the first house, he stole some candy out of the baskets because he thought it looked good! When he got to the third or fourth house, he hid Easter eggs EVERYWHERE!! They were filled with candy, money, and warm fuzzies!!!!
He repeated that at every house. He went to about……one million houses!!!
Eventually, he was done and flew back to the Wildlife Center of Virginia. The Easter Bunny was in his enclosure when Gustavo swooped in.
The Easter Bunny yelled, “Thank you for doing my deed! How may I repay you?”
Gus replied, “You’re welcome. A nice vacation in Hawaii wouldn’t hurt!”
The Easter Bunny stated, “That’s alright with me!!”
That day they were off to Hawaii!!!

I’m your biggest fan,” she exclaimed. Then Buttercup started singing Lady Gaga. Then the Easter Bunny asked, “Can you deliver the eggs for me?” Buttercup asked, “But how? “Escape!” the Easter Bunny told her. “O.K., I’ll try,” Dr. Miranda left the room. Buttercup ran out of the room to deliver the eggs. But, she didn’t deliver them, she dropped them. Then she saw Dr. Miranda. Dr. Miranda saw her and brought her home and the Easter Bunny got released. By. Marisol

THE EASTER ACCIDENT!
One day there was a bunny but he wasn’t just an ordinary bunny. He was the Easter Bunny. He had to deliver an Easter basket to his friend across the road. Then boom! It happened! The Easter bunny had gotten run over. He was sent to the Wildlife Center of Virginia.
He was there for a month. During that time, Easter came. Everyone made fun and made jokes like: why did the Easter Bunny cross the road?
After one week, he had made friends. During week two, he received letters from across the world. In week three, he had babysat the injured boxed turtles. It was one the last day of the fourth week, when it was Easter that the Easter Bunny asked Thelma to be the Easter opossum for the night because she was small, sweet, gentle, and a responsible friend. (Plus she was really quiet.)
As the Easter Bunny was leaving, Thelma pulled him backed and whispered in his ear, “Get hurt again so I can see you!”
When Thelma got back from delivering the baskets, the Easter Bunny gave her a basket, with pictures of him. Also a bag of magic powder and a teddy bear holding a picture of Thelma and the Easter Bunny. The two teddy bears holding together were Thelma and the Easter Bunny. So she had sent him a basket saying “Friends Forever”. Also it was a picture with the WCV staff and all the wild life critters there.

One day the Easter Bunny was giving Easter eggs to the houses. He didn’t see the rock and he tripped and he hit his head. He got up and he felt dizzy and he fell.
A man found the Easter Bunny and took him to the WCV and Miss. Amanda put the Easter Bunny next to NX.
The Easter Bunny asked NX but she said, “No, because I need to rock like a rock star.”
Then the Easter Bunny asked Gus and said, “No because I work at school.” He was about to give up but he didn’t. He asked Buddy and Buddy said yes.
The Easter Bunny gave Buddy the Easter eggs and told him to be careful with the eggs.
Buddy left for the first house and hid the Easter eggs. Buddy left to go to the next house and did the same thing with the eggs. Buddy saw a boy. He said he was the Easter Eagle and the boy scratched his head.
Buddy returned to the WCV and said, “I’m okay.”
The Easter Bunny was okay and was released.

I do not like the Easter Bunny. I like bunnies. I like bunnies. They have big ears. They have little round tails. They are white.
By Theylor
And one persuasive essay on who should be the Easter Bunny:
Gustavo THE EASTER BUNNY
At the WCV, I will vote for Gustavo to be the Easter Bunny, because he is a really nice barred owl. People on the Critter Cam should vote for Gustavo as the Easter Bunny. Gustavo is a really cool barred owl. Gustavo tries to do wonderful tricks because he is a really smart barred owl. He flies high in the sky and he looks awesome when they put the bunny ears on Gustavo.
Gustavo is the best barred owl ever. So please vote for Gustavo. He wakes up in the morning and Ms. Amanda gave two mice to Gustavo. Gustavo was a really happy barred owl. Gustavo flies everywhere, so please vote for Gustavo as the Easter Bunny.
Sincerely, Richard
