[00:03:26] They'd had a sleepover the night before as Sunny's owner was away for the long weekend. Oh, sorry, Sunny. Hector yawned. I always wake up with a bark on the holidays. It's kind of like an alarm. My Hector alarm. But make sure I wake up on time for all the fun. Sunny cast a lazy glance at the clock on the mantelpiece.

[00:03:56] It's 6am, Hector. Sunny cast a lazy glance at the sky. Oh, sorry. Sunny cast a lazy glance at the sky. The fun won't start for ages. We can start our own fun then, Sunny. Hector grinned. Happy Easter. Happy Easter. Sunny yawned, rolling over to sitting and stretching her paws.

[00:04:24] There was a little tap-a-tap-tap on the glass of the door that led through to the garden. And the two dogs looked over to the shadowy little figure showing through the frosted glass. I know who that is, Sunny mused. There's only one animal I know with a tail that fluffy.

[00:04:49] Hector locked eyes with her and they both chorused together. Sydney. Sydney was their magical squirrel friend who always popped up when he had an adventure in store for them. He was kind of like their guardian angel, but much sillier. And instead of just looking after them, he sent them off into the world to have fun. Hector went to the door and stood on his back legs.

[00:05:18] He nuzzled the key to turn in the lock and poured down on the handle so Sydney could come on in. The little squirrel was full of pep for such an early hour. His fur was shining extra silvery and his eyes glittering with excitement. Happy Easter, Hector and Sunny, Sydney said, wiping his tiny feet on the mat and flopping down beside Sunny.

[00:05:47] I've heard about the coolest event going on right now. I've been waiting by the door for you two to wake up just to tell you all about it. You're going to love it. In Storybookland for Easter Sunday, they're about to hold the best egg hunt ever. You won't believe what the prize is. I won't tell you though. I don't want to spoil it.

[00:06:15] He reached into his red bum bag and pulled out a little card. All you have to do is read this line and the portal will open and you can be on your way. How does that sound? Hector's ears had pricked in excitement and his tail was wagging uncontrollably. That sounds awesome, he said, doing a little four-legged jig.

[00:06:45] But Sydney, Sunny said, don't you want to come along? Sydney shook his head and checked his little gold wristwatch. Can't, he said. I've got a raccoon to send to Pizza Town, a family of badgers to transport to a garden party, and a bear to gift a magical Easter bonnet to. That's what I like doing most. You know that.
