The McBusted boys were invited to an Easter based obstacle course as hosted by Patrick Leblanc, setting them into teams to find the golden eggs. Enjoy and stay tuned for more.  And be on the look out for puns and pop culture references. 

McBusted’s Most Egg-cellent Easter Adventure

Today was Easter Sunday and two boy bands McFly and Busted formed together as their supergroup McBusted were invited to a special Easter event at a picturesque countryside estate. “I wonder what this Easter event will have to offer?” asked Tom Fletcher as they all shared their curiosity. “No doubt that it’ll be Egg-cellent” said James Bourne who couldn’t resist coming up with a cheesy pun. “Well there’s bound to be plenty of eggs for us to feast that’s for sure” said Charlie Simpson. “Not like the one that got onto Danny’s shirt,” said Dougie Poynter, who casually shared about that particular incident. “Egg, out of all the vegetables” said Danny Jones with the others giving him a strange look.

Once they arrived, they met up with their host Patrick Leblanc, one of the most popular bodybuilder and model. He is wearing a muscle tank top that clearly shows his shredded biceps and bulging pecs and a bunny-ear hand band which is only natural for this day.

“Hey! Looks like we’re greeted by an athletic bunny!” said Matt Willis jokingly. Patrick smiled with amusement and said “Greetings McBusted; I am your host Patrick Leblanc welcome to The Ultimate Easter Egg Hunt! If you think that this is merely a run-of-the-mill Easter Egg Hunt, then you’ll be wrong! Instead, you’ll be taking part in an Easter obstacle course that is designed to test your wits and teamwork while burning off the calories eating all this chocolate!”

The McBusted boys were astonished to hear about an unconventional Easter Egg Hunt that would get them fit. “Never thought hunting those eggs would involve a workout” said Tom who is taking it all in. “He does have a point though; you all need to be exercising more often with me doing all the running for my marathon charities” said Harry slyly. “What are you, some kind of fitness freak?” said James snarky.   After being amused by their banter, Patrick said “I hope you all got what it takes for the Eggstravaganza Challenge!”

Patrick then explained the rules which involve finding the ten golden Easter Eggs that are hidden throughout the estate and have to be found by solving riddles or physical work with some surprises along the way. They have to split into two teams the first team who collects five eggs will win a massive Easter feast prepared by Patrick himself while the losers have to help with the dishes.

“I’ve been told that McBusted consists of two bands so it’ll make sense to split your bands up into two teams” said Patrick. Naturally, McFly were in one team while Busted were in the other team. They were eager to have a fun competition against each other as a Busted Vs McFly contest. “Alright you Loser Kids, we’re going to make you all rotten!” said Dougie brashly. “Well sorry but you’re not good enough for us!” replied Matt brazenly. “Hold on, there are four of us and three of you. Wouldn’t that be fair?” asked Danny. “That’s when I come in as I’ll be part of the competition too,” said Patrick, joining Team Busted.  “Welcome to the team” said James with open arms though he reckoned that someone athletic could give them an advantage.

They decided to give their team some colourful names which included Team Chocolate Thunder for Team McFly and Team Bunny Blasters for Team Busted and Patrick. Without further ado, the hunt was on!

The first egg was found on a tree branch. The branches also had several prankster toys including a water balloon and a crisp can. “This challenge is designed to test your endurance as you work for that egg while making use of objects that you may use to catch your opponent off guard” explained Patrick. The McBusted boys didn’t expect a bodybuilder to be such a prankster.

In any case, Harry and Matt were assigned to this challenge as they ran towards the tree, climbing their way up. “I’m going to be a good boy and resist the temptation of using such juvenile toys,” said Matt. Harry on the other hand couldn’t pass up a chance for a prank if it means that he gets to win. He handed over a crisp can to Matt and said “Hey Matt, fancy a crisp?” “Why thank you, I am feeling peckish,” said Matt. He opened it and out came the toy snakes which made Matt jump.

The other McFly guys laughed and cheered as they watched Harry pulling off a dirty prank which was his cue to reach for the egg...only for it to spring into the air. “...What?” said Harry. It turned out that Patrick had bobby trapped the egg with it being attached on a flipper. “Don’t just stand there! Go after it!” yelled Tom.

Harry was still confident with him being a fast runner thanks to his jogging. Matt however was determined to get his own back. He grabbed a water balloon, saying “Water Balloon, I choose you!” and tossed it towards Harry like a Pokeball. It was a precise throw as it knocked Harry onto the ground, giving Matt a chance to run after the egg and grab it before it hit the ground. “You did it!” cheered James and Charlie, earning Team Bunny Blasters a point. “That game is fixed!” ranted Harry.

For the second challenge, they have to solve a riddle which involves finding a book that has the next egg in a huge library. Patrick reads out the riddle; “To find the egg that is astray, go the galaxy far, far away”. He then added, “See if you can use your brains to figure this one out”. Tom and James volunteered to solve this riddle with their self-proclaimed brains and geeky knowledge.

The library was huge with tons of books and selves that made it easy to get lost. “I bet it would be hard to find any of my written books here” said Tom to himself as he was looking around in awe. Focusing on the task, Tom was thinking to himself “The galaxy far, far away, I know I have heard of that somewhere before...” And then it hit him. “Star Wars! I got to get to the Science Fiction section right away!” said Tom and rushed onwards. Meanwhile, James was standing there in deep thought. “Far, far away...at the far end of the library or is there a Back to the Future story where Marty goes far, far away?”

Tom found the Science Fiction section and immediately scanned through the books until he found a book with Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker on the front cover, indicating that it was a Star Wars book. He pulled the book and found a hollowed-out section with a golden egg inside! “It’s all thanks to my love of Star Wars!” cheered Tom. “Next time, I’ll actually try thinking instead of making dumb jokes,” said James to himself. This gives Team Chocolate Thunder a point.

The next challenge is an Easter-themed obstacle course at a large garden as set by Patrick. “This will test your reflexes while overcoming obstacles like a rabbit as you aim to be the first to get to the golden egg attached to the kart” explained Patrick. Dougie and Charlie were chosen for this challenge. “What’s up Doc? You’ll be the one who’ll get owned” said Dougie slyly. “Well bring it on Wabbit” said Charlie as part of their banter.  

The obstacles consist of hurdles that they have to hop over like rabbits, large maze tunnel-like tubes which require them to crawl in just like rabbits crawling in their burrows and a large open field where the kart that has the golden egg is speeding.

As the absolute wild card he is, Dougie immediately darted towards the course, hopping all over the hurdles yet knocking them over like an out-of-control rabbit. “My, he is full of energy” said Patrick who couldn’t help but watch in amusement. “That’s our Dougie for you” replied Danny. When he got under the maze, he kept on going around in circles with his sense of direction being disorientated. “At least I’m not Chris Evans whose ass would get stuck,” said Dougie.

Charlie on the other hand kept his cool as he steadily hopped over the hurdles with grace and figured out every twist and turn as he crawled in the maze tunnels (while avoiding bumping into Dougie). As soon as he made his way out, he spotted the kart with the Golden Egg and with a final burst of energy; he charged towards the kart and tackled it as if he was playing rugby.

As soon as he snatched the golden egg, he said triumphantly “YES! THE POWER OF EASTER IS MINE!” Team Bunny Blasters were cheering for him as they gained a point although Patrick had to help to get Dougie out of the maze who was still lost.

For the fourth challenge, the golden egg was inside a giant chocolate bunny for which they had to be the first to break it open with the hammers. “It’s all about raw strength,” said Patrick as he handed over the hammer to Danny with Patrick himself facing him. “Is this a pun for one of our songs?” asked Danny. “No, this is Patrick” replied Patrick.

“We have muscles on our side so this should be a win for us!” said Matt as Patrick flexed with confidence. “Oh yeah? You’re up against Mush who has been crowned as The King of the Jungle here!” replied Harry with his full confidence in Danny. “And I’ve been gaining some guns myself!” said Danny who flexed his biceps on his way to join in the banter.

And so they were ready to whack the giant chocolate bunny with their hammers, just like builders demolishing a house. Patrick was hardly breaking a sweat having to be built for this kind of physical work as he trusted his hammer like there’s no tomorrow with cracks on the chocolate rabbit already forming.

It was tough physical work for Danny. He rather be sweating during his live shows but he heard the cheers and support from his band-mates with Dougie saying “Come on Danny, give it some muscle!” and Tom saying “Do it for Team McFly who are now known as Team Chocolate Thunder!” This has not only given Danny the motivation he needed but also reminded him of the challenges he faced during The Bushtucker Trials on I’m a Celebrity where he was proven that he can get out of his comfort zone even if his mind suggest otherwise which made him the King of the Jungle while inspiring hearts.

“Jones Smash!” said Danny as he was fired up, smashing his hammer on the chocolate bunny with all of his might in a rapid succession until all of the chocolate had shattered, revealing the golden egg. Danny triumphantly cheered while raising his hammer with the other McFly members cheering with him and Patrick standing there with astonishment though he was nevertheless proud of his determination, earning his victory.

It was time for the final challenge with the last egg hidden in a huge pile of hay. “It’s a free-for-all folks!” said Patrick as they all dived into the haystack which became absolute chaos. Danny and Patrick dived into the hay and playfully shuffled together as if they were in a wrestling match. Matt buried himself into the hay and popped out which made Tom jump. Harry pushed Charlie out of the way which caused him to pull him back. Dougie found some glinting lights but so did James as they gazed at each other eye to eye like fierce rivals. They quickly dived into the hay, determined to be the first ones to get to them.

They both grabbed something and lifted up two Golden Eggs which resulted in a draw, much to everyone’s surprise. Even Patrick thought there would only be one Golden Egg. “In that case, we are all winners,” said Patrick. All of the McBusted boys were delighted to be the winners which means that they all get to be the ones who’ll have their fair share of the Easter Feast as they all cheered together while brofisting, high-fiving and hugging each other.

To that end, Patrick cooked up a huge Easter feast but as another surprise twist, he made everyone help.  “What? We all have to cook?!” cried James in disbelief. “That’s right since after all, Easter is about sharing and that includes the work” said Patrick. “Well I might as well make use of my cooking skills” said Danny, seeing the positive side of it.

They all spent the next hour cooking together which was actually fun as they messed around like kids with Harry stealing the mini eggs that Matt was using for the Mini Egg Cheesecake and Dougie and Patrick (who tries as he might, he couldn’t resist but to be part of their banter and playful humour) tossing the flour like snowballs.

By the time it was the evening, they all sat around the dinner table with their well-earned Easter Dinner including Baked Mackerel with fennel, chilli & lemongrass, Roast Chicken with Roast Potatoes and Carrots and Mini Egg Brownies and Mini Egg Cheesecake for afters. They were all enjoying their Easter Feast together with the McBusted boys smiling at each other. It was like having a special date with the Easter festivity makes it extra special. Patrick was proud of their efforts and the overall turnout while being grateful to get to know them. Even he finds them good looking with their lively sprits that makes it great to hang around with them while the McBusted boys finds that Patrick makes a great, entertaining host who happens to have the stunning physic.

“I say this is the best Easter ever with you guys,” said Tom smiling. “Yeah, who would have thought that an Easter event could bring people together while giving us a workout?” said Charlie. They all agreed with their friendship and love was stronger than ever. “So what you say, same time next year?” asked Patrick. The McBusted boys couldn’t pass this up as it’s something that they wouldn’t miss for the world.
