North was happy. More than happy, he was like a child in candy shop. Bunnymund was into this too. He was like a kid in sugar rush. Jack was like he always was when he had fun: like a hyperactive teenager. Tooth was... well... the worst. She was like a huperactive teenager in sugar ruch in the candy shop.

Sandy was the only one who could still handle the situation calmly and yet have fun. Funny how the quiet ones were always the smartest ones.

They all blamed Jack from this. He was after all the Guardian of Fun. Every time Jack had fun, that made the others have fun too. No one could actually really tell why. Somehow always when Jack had fun, North felt real happiness in his belly, Tooth started to have even more energy to do anything, Bunny was always more than ready to have a little friendly race and Sandy got more inspiration into his dreams.

This time was no diffrent.

"Quickly! Quickly! Hah hah hah haa!"

North jumped into chimney and dissappeared from the view. He didn't hear what Jack had said to Bunny. Something about keeping up with the winter spirit. Heh, those two... North knew already those will became good friends.

But North had something more important to do. When he entered into the house, he ran out from the door only to run in another building. He quickly placed his special tramboline in the fireplace and jumped on it. The tramboline throw him up in the air and dissappeared. North appeared above the house.

"Oh, you don't wanna rice a rabbit, mate", Bunny said with a chuckle while Jack gave his "Challenge accpeted" -look. The two raced from one building to another.

North heard Bunny mention about ricing with the rabbit.

"A race? Is it a race?" North yelled before he dissappeared into another chimney.

Again he lanted on the floor of the house, ran as quickly as he could into other building and placed his tramboline in fireplace. Oh he was getting too old for this.

Or not.

"This is going to be..."

And agaaain he ran into another building placing his special tramboline in fireplace. He jumped on it again. Only if he could just remember what he was going to say in first place. Fun? No.

"EPIC!"

Sandy smirked. Heh, those two, Jack and Bunny, were so focused to race each other that they had no idea how quickly the guardian of dreams collected teeth. He was a sneaky little man.

Tooth stole all the attention by flying around and yelling her orders to others. Well, none of then actually listened her. Only Jack paid any attention to the girl when she flew on signboard.

"You okay?" The winter spirit asked.

Tooth smiled, trying to hold back her tears of pain.

"I'm fine!" She laughed flying to Jack like a hyperactive kid. She tried to cover her teary eyes. Her poor, beautiful nose was hurt.

"It's been a long time sence I was on the field!" Tooth said flying around only to hide the nose that was starting to turn a bit red.

"How long is a long time?" Jack asked with a smirk. He knew the others had been around longer than him, but how long exactly?

"440 years, give or take..." Tooth said. Then she felt the tears start to rise from her eyes and nose start to swell. She randomly flew past Jack to "collect" one tooth. When she was safely in the room, she broke into small tears.

"My nose..." It hurt. It seariously hurt.

Jack shared a look with Baby Tooth, who was trying to safe her mother's cool face in front of Jack Frost.

But Jack didn't have time to waste. He had a race to win. So he flew down from the signboard and was just about to get in some kid's room when he saw a familiar tunnel and something big and gray next to the kid's bed.

Bunny smirked. He had won Jack. The pooka got his kicks by winning the winter spirit at last in something.

But Jack hated losing. Plus he was a bad loser. So he glared at the pooka with "if look could kill, you would be dead already" -look before without a second thought he pointed his staff at the pooka and send his winter magic ice to Bunny. Bunny yelped when his ears were frozen on the wall behind him. He was stuck.

"Frostbite! Let me go!" Bunny growned only to see Jack's face light up into amused smile.

"Heh, nope! This is a race and I'm going to win!" Jack yelled (his voice couldn't woke up the kid because kids didn't believe in him) before he let the wind toss him away.

That's it. If Frostbite wanted to play dirty, then so be it.

Soon after that they were ready to leave the town to move into next. North jumped into the house and wormed his way into the twins' room. Literally wormed, he was crawling on the floor like he was in war or something. Nightlights were on so it was easy to find the girls.

Santa popped up from the floor as quickly as he could. Oh dear Man in moon if the girls had been awake, they would have screamed their hearts out when Santa Claus suddenly popped up from the floor like a bunny.

"Twins! 3" North kissed bouth of the teeth before worming his way back into fireplace.

By the way, stairs were quite hard to crowl down head first. Especially when you are really big man.

"Jackpot!" Seariously, why did Jack's name came in his mind first? Anyway, Bunny looked proudly at five teeth he had found from one room. Heh, this ankle-biter was really a trouble maker, just like Jack.

"Looks like you have been a grumpy, arem' ya?" Bunny asked looking around the room. Yeah, too much like Jack. This kid appereantly loved icehockey.

Next house was much easier. At last that was what North thought.

"It's peace of pie", North giggled like a little girl before the floor dissappeared under him.

In second he realized he was face to face with very comfused Bunny.

And Sandy took his chanse by flewing in and taking the tooth like the two other guardians weren't there.

"That's my tooth. Sandy. SANDY?" North whispered as loud as he dared without waking up the kid. But Sandy just showed his innocent look and walked away. This one? Sorry, I keep it. This is a race after all.

Guardian of dreams? More like heartless monster from nightmares to North.

"Can't you just open another tunnel?" North asked from Bunny, who still struggeled to get free.

"Sorry mate, I have never actually been stuck in my OWN tunnel. My legs and paws are stuck", Bunny growned trying still worm his way out.

North sighed.

"I know how we might get out. But you must promice you will never talk about this to anyone, got it?" North asked glaring at Bunny.

The Pooka was curious about what the guardian of wonders was going to do and he really wanted to get out and contiune the race. So he nodded.

North snapped his fingers in the tunnel and made his tramboline appear under their feet. It easily jumped them bouth out from the tunnel. The tunnel closed after them immediately. Bunny lanted on the floor on his feet but clumsy Santa wasn't so luckly. The man lanted on the floor on his butt and rolled right away on his back. Bunny looked quickly if the girl woke up and then at North with wide open eyes.

"What was that?" The Pooka asked. North rolled on sitting position.

"My special tramboline. Helps me coming out from fireplaces", North said cheeks a bit red.

Bunny couldn't help but laugh a bit.

"I always thought you just had rabbit legs. Guess I was wrong mate. But the race is still on. And I have Snowflake's little ass to kick so lets move on!" Bunny whispered before making one of his tunnels again and dissappeared into it.

In the other hand, North had given him an idea. The pooka sneaked after Jack who was flying around the houses, looking for teeth. Then finally he jumped down to one room. Lightly he flew in fron window and was just about to land on the floor when something sucked him right throught the floor. He only had time to give one suprised yelp when he dissappeared into Bunny's tunnel, the sound of Bunny's evil laugh in his ears.

Now the winter spirit had to find his way back.

This was unfair. Really unfair. But Jack loved a little challenses.

He flew around Bunny's tunnels to find the place where the pooka would be next. That wasn't really easy. Tunnels were like a labyrint. And this was the first time Jack was in here.

After time that felt like hours, Jack finally saw one tunnel right above him to open. Before the pooka could jump in, he flew out.

"Crickey! I thought you got out minutes ago mate!" Bunny shout suprised but then he smirked.

"Had fun in Warren?" Bunny asked. Jack smirked back.

"You might not want to know that."

Bunny paled under his fur. He had a feeling that he would find something frozen in Warren when he got back there.

They took off to another part of the world.

North went into one house and took a tooth. Then a idea hit him. He placed a paper with an arrow at window under the pillow. Heh, this was a set-up for any of the guardians who entered in this room.

Just wait for it.

Wait for it.

...

For Man in moon's sace, for once he was trying to prank the others, they ruined it by not showing up! This was a good prank, at last he tought so.

Then finally a tunnel appeared and North grinned. Bunny. Perfect.

The Pooka yelped in comfusion when he saw an arrow and looked at window. North let out a loud laugh before he jumped off pointing at the pooka and laughed.

Bunny just stared after North. What the...

Then he snapped back to reality and jumped into another house. Tooth! He jumped out looking proudly his new tooth. Jack was so going to lose to him.

But the roof gave in under him. No wait, the roof was just frozen! Bunny slipped and fell on the floor with "crickey" -yell. Jack laughing to the tooth he had stolen from Bunny. Perfect. Now he had to just ran away from angry pooka...

Suddenly the tooth dissappeared from his fingers.

"No!"

Sandy, that evil little man stole the stolen tooth from him. What a criminal. And he dared even wave his little hand with innosent smile! Jack was sure that Sandy was really evil. Only disguited himself as guardian of deams.

Very, very angry pooka jumped to him, holding his small body against the roof while Bunny sat on his stomack.

"Give it back, mate. That was my tooth and you stole it", the pooka growned.

Jack rolled his eyes.

"I would if I could. Sandy stole it from me", Jack said. The pooka turned to look up into sky only to see the little man flying innosently from one place to another collecting teeth.

"We have something common right now: We have the same enemy, mate", Bunny muttered. They were so kicking at last Sandy's golden ass.

Bunny however had to run already in next house. He was still bitter about North's prank on him so he was going to have his revenge. And what is better revenge on Santa but put a fire in fire place?

"Ho ho ho.." Bunny said with evil smirk.

North ran into other house. Not knowing that the evil little Bunny had lighted up the fire place. His "pretty" "little" ass would have burning marks even after many years.

"Honey? Did you light up the fireplace?" Someone asked behind Bunny. Crap, it was his time to get out.

When they gathered on the roof of one building, Jack immediately started to fight with the pooka.

"I have more teeth than you mate!" Bunny said with so much pride that he almost glowed. Jack glared at the Pooka's and his own sack. No guestion, Bunny's was bigger.

But the winter spirit wasn't going down that easily.

"You have rocks on the bottom", he said simply and watched with amused smile on his face when Bunny started to rage about how he did NOT have rocks in his sack. Sandy looked his sack and then Bunny's. They had at last almost as much teeth.

"Make a room for teeth collecting champion in 2012!" North yelled when he placed his sack between the fighting couple. His sack was as big as the other's sacks together.

Jack laughed and made a deep bown to the teeth collecting champion while Bunny looked like if he didn't have furr, he would be as pale as Jack.

"How did you got that many teeth, mate?" the Pooka asked. North just tapped his noce.

"Santa doesn't tell his secrets."

He had to get the rocks out from the sack before Bunny or Jack notices those.

"Wow, you guys collect teeth and leave gifts as fast as my fairies."

Tooth's words made their faces fell. Gifts? GIFTS! Of course the Tooth fairy gave gifts for children!

Tooth saw their chocked faces.

"You guys have given gifts, right?" She asked even thought she knew the answer already.

Sandy tried to lie his way out of it, but he had to addmit that even he hadn't been smart enough to leave at last something to kids.

The guardians shared an embaressed look. What now?

Well back to the start.

It went well first. Everyone agreed that they had to take this a bit more seariously so they would be done before the enternity ends. They gave coins, candies, even easter eggs.

But it was North who broke to give one kid a christmas tree. Seariously. The man decorated it half an hour. In that time the others had given their gifts for whole town.

Well, it was still fun.
