Well, here it is. My first one-shot! This takes place right after the ending of the STGHT. If you haven't read it, this won't really make much sense, so you should go back and read it to get the background information. If you're a rebel and don't want to... then more power to you I guess... Anyway.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Rise of the Ruardians

The Bennetts had been sent home, and Jack was exhausted. Turns out, dying, getting stabbed, dying AGAIN, and then having an all out snowball war was a little tiring. Jack was sitting in the back of the sleigh as it headed back to the pole. The other guardians were glancing at him occasionally as if checking to make sure he was really back. It had shaken everyone up when they thought they had lost their youngest member, yet again.

Jack's eyes were drifting closed when soft footsteps approached, accompanied with the rustle of feathers. He opened his eyes when they sat next to him and rested their head on his shoulder. Emma looked up at him and he smiled at her. Putting an arm around his little sister's shoulder, he drew her into a one armed hug, that she happily returned.

When they arrived at the pole, Jack and Emma were asleep. Jack had his back up against the side of the sleigh and Emma was using Jack's chest as a pillow, facing away from the rest of the group. One of her large black wings acted as a blanket, while the other hung limply to the ground. When the sleigh finally stopped, Jack awoke. He smiled down at his sister, then carefully got up, carrying her with him. It was a little difficult with her wings, but he managed.

She half woke up when they entered a warm lobby. She mumbled something about not being tired, but Jack just shook his head. "Sure you aren't." Then to North, he said, "Is there a room she could use?" North nodded and lead them down a hallway. There were two doors at the end. He pointed at the one at the very end. "That one is yours. It has a large window that is never closed. The other can be hers. It actually has a door leading to yours, but hers has a fireplace." Jack nodded and carefully carried her inside.

He set her on the bed, but she didn't let go of his hoodie. "No. Stay." Jack sighed. "Fine. you win. I'll stay." Satisfied, she released his hoodie and he sat next to her on the bed, running his hands through her hair.

"Is this real?" Jack looked at Emma in surprise. "What do you mean?" She opened her eyes and looked at him. "For years, I dreamed that I would see you again. They were never quite like this, but they always ended. Every time, I would wake up and you were gone." Jack smiled at her, but he felt his heart break. "Yea Em. This is real. I'm not going anywhere." She nodded, then sat up and hugged him tightly. She was crying, probably from being overwhelmed.

They sat there for awhile. "I have an idea. How about you come with me as I make my rounds? As we go, I can teach you about this century, catch you up on things you missed, and we can just hang out?" She looked up at him. "Ok." She said with a smile, then she laid back down, pulling Jack with her.

North came in the check on them a few hours later, only to find the two siblings asleep. Jack was on his back on the bed, Emma laying across his chest again. North chuckled quietly and left the room.

The next day, Jack was showing Emma around and pointing out all the different toys that she had never seen before. They reached the globe room and all of the other guardians were there. "And I take it you guys didn't really have time for formal introductions," Jack said, glancing around the room. "Well, That's North or Santa." Jack gestured towards the large Russian and he smiled at Emma kindly. "And Tooth, the Tooth Fairy." Tooth waved happily. "Sandy, the sandman." Sandy raised a glass of eggnog and nodded, smiling as well. "And finally, the Easter Kangaroo." Bunny glared at Jack while Emma suppressed a giggle. "And this is Emma." She looked up to see the guardians smiling at her warmly.

Suddenly she felt very shy, so she might have hidden behind Jack just a little. The guardians could tell she was a little nervous, so they quickly said their goodbyes and began heading out to do their normal duties.

'Come on. There is a whole world to show you." She looked up again and Jack was smiling at her. She nodded, and together they flew out the window into the gentle snowfall.

If you have any requests, go ahead and message me! I'll see what I can do! I've never done this kinda thing, so I have no idea how long it will be. I guess it depends on how many requests I get, and how much I want to write. If you want this series to last awhile, send in a request! (Reviews are also appreciated.)
