Author's Note: Jack and Bunnymund fans, assemble! This is technically the sequel to both "Chill" and "Chocolate Connoisseur." I decided to do this after writing "Departing Words" when Rachel lost her best friend and "Show Me Your Teeth" when Sarah met Tooth. I felt that both girls needed someone to confide in. Enjoy!
A couple of things first: I tried so hard to get the timelines to match up correctly and still met with some issues. So for clarity, in this story Sarah is 21 and Rachel is 27. I know it's a bit of an age gap, but I wanted them to kind of match Jack and Bunny's ages. Besides, Rachel has a young soul so it's not hard for her to get along with younger people.
Warning: There is not going to be any smut in this story at all. I know I'm usually warning the opposite, but I don't want anyone searching for it and becoming disappointed, if that makes any sense. This chapter only contains naughty humor and sleepover shenanigans.

Guardians' Girls
Sarah's eyes scan over the menu of the small café greedily. She was craving some serious caffeine. It was great to be out and about before college started back up, and discovering that her favorite coffee shack was open was the best surprise she could imagine. It was owned by a sweet older couple who rarely got out anymore, so they could only open it when their grandchildren were available to work. It was packed with people seeing as it was such a beautiful day outside. Most of them were sitting on the outside patio, shaded by the umbrellas.
When it is Sarah's turn she orders a regular iced coffee and one of their homemade specialty bagels. She pays for her items and takes them from the cashier greedily before scanning the crowded restaurant for a place to sit. She sees that most of the tables are taken by groups, and bites her lip, considering just taking her breakfast to go. Then she sees an empty chair at a small two-person table by the glass front of the café. There is someone else sitting there, but she shrugs and walks over with a hesitant smile.
"Um, hi. Do you mind if I sit here?" She asks, and the woman's dark brown eyes rise to meet hers. Sarah feels a moment of déjà vu as she nods and waves toward the empty chair. "Thanks." She sits down and tries to focus on her breakfast, but after a bite of her bagel and a sip of her coffee, she glances down at the other woman's powdered donut and instantly remembers why she looks so familiar. "Excuse me." She looks up again from her novel with a questioning but polite expression. "I'm sorry to bother you but… you seem very familiar." Sarah takes in the woman's long blonde hair that falls in perfect ringlets and her big doe eyes. "Did you take a figure drawing class like two years ago? At the art museum?" Her dark brown eyes widen and she sits back in her chair, studying her.
"Yeah… I…"
Rachel stares at the girl who had asked to sit with her. Now that she had mentioned it, she remembered doing the same thing for a short brunette in that art class. She had come into the room looking so flustered, and most of the tables had been taken up by people who knew each other. Rachel had been the only one by herself, and the brunette had asked if she could sit with her. Of course she had said yes, and they spent the next three classes next to each other, but hadn't really talked.
"I'm sorry. I'm Sarah." She reaches out a hand and Rachel smiles before shaking it.
"No, no. I remember. I'm Rachel. I'd almost forgotten about that." Sarah returns her smile and they laugh.
"You always had a powdered donut at every class." She points to it and Rachel grins.
"Yeah. I have a bit of a sweet tooth." The brunette laughs and nods, her sable eyes sparkling. "How have you been since then, if it's not weird for me to ask?"
"No, not at all. It's been great. I'm still drawing. Charcoal, mostly." Sarah answers.
"Me too, but pastels. I wanted to experiment with colors a bit." The girls continue to talk about the class and how much they loved art while they ate their breakfast. It wasn't at all awkward seeing as they weren't complete strangers, but there was something more that seemed to draw them to each other. They were complete opposites. Rachel was so girly in her ruffled sundress and Sarah's entire being screamed casual in her tank top and skinny jeans. Where Rachel was tall and curvy with long curly blonde hair, Sarah was on the petite side with her straight brown hair just past her shoulders. "It's so weird that we met up again."
"I know, right? It's almost like…" Sarah trails off and she glances at the window just in time to see Jack on the sidewalk, making a face at her from Rachel's peripheral vision. He presses his nose against the glass and crosses his eyes, making her laugh before she stops abruptly. She looks back up at Rachel, whose brow furrows in confusion at her sudden mood change. Sarah sits up and uses her arm that's at her side to wave at Jack to go away. "The chances have got to be like a thousand to one…" Jack chooses that moment to blow a raspberry on the glass and she sends what she hopes is a subtle glare his way. Seriously, stop it! He laughs and winks at her.
x~x
Rachel's eyes narrow as she watches Sarah look almost horrified at whatever is next to her. Instinctually she turns and jumps at the sight of a boy Sarah's age making goo goo eyes at her. She immediately thinks that it is someone that Sarah knows playing a prank, and then that thought makes her pause. Her eyes take in his white hair and his sweatshirt and pants that seem to have iced over, and finally the brown branch that was hung over his arm. There was only one person that she knew of who dressed like that. She turns more in her chair, her jaw dropping.
"Jack?" It falls from her mouth before she can stop it, and his eyes immediately meet hers in shock. Sarah's expression is the same and she gasps at the fact that Rachel had not only seen him, but somehow knows who he is. Jack slips through the glass and he stares at Rachel.
"You can see me?"
"You can see him?" Sarah echoes him and Rachel suddenly feels completely lost. She was under the impression that she was the only adult who believed in the Guardians. Obviously that wasn't the case.
"You can see him?" All three of them sit in silence for a moment before Sarah begins to stumble over her words.
"H-how do you know who he is?"
"I…"
"Wait a minute. You're Bunny's girl, aren't you?" Jack asks with a triumphant smirk, pointing at Rachel. She blushes and Sarah tilts her head to the side curiously.
"Bunny? You mean Aster?" Rachel nods mutely and Sarah manages to smile in her shock. "Wow. You're kidding?" Rachel just looks back and forth between Sarah and Jack, her mind reeling. What the hell?
"Wait. How do you two know each other?" Jack asks.
"We had a drawing class together a couple of years ago. We sat next to each other. Didn't keep in contact, though."
"Wow. Small world, huh? The only two girls who believe in and are currently dating a Guardian, and you manage to find each other twice." Jack shakes his head with a laugh.
"Make that more like a billion in one chance." Rachel mumbles, referring to Sarah's earlier words. The younger girl laughs and runs a hand through her hair.
"I can't believe this."
"It's crazy."
"Yeah." The girls stare at each other in a new light. Two adult believers who had not only met once, but managed to find each other again. It seemed that fate was really trying to tell them something. "How long have you been believing?"
"All my life, really. I just never stopped. What about you?"
"Only since I've met Jack. I was a late bloomer." They laugh at the joke and Jack smiles down at Sarah, who gives him a subtle hint. He just sighs dramatically and shakes his head.
"Alright, alright. Three's a crowd. I get it. I'll see you later?"
"I don't think so. Do you have plans?" Rachel asks, and Sarah grins in excitement.
"No."
"Good. We're have a girls' day. We have to talk."
"Agreed. See you tomorrow afternoon, Jack." Sarah tells him, already planning to be up so late that she would need a nap the next day. He pouts and kisses her on the cheek before disappearing. "This is amazing. What do you want to talk about?"
"Well first of all, have you met the others yet?" Rachel was dying to know.
She suddenly wanted to share so much with the other girl. Never had she imagined that she would meet someone else who knew of the Guardians. Since her blow out with Cassie she was also skeptical if she would ever be able to tell anyone about Bunny. Now she saw that there was hope for that. Sarah seemed so nice when they took the class together, but they simply hadn't exchanged contact information. Now they both felt that they had no choice but to bond with each other. It had been decided for them by a force that neither cared to identify. They had found each other. That was all that was important.
"I've only met Tooth. And it was a complete accident. One of the kids I babysit lost their tooth and Jack was over. She heard us… talking." At her blush Rachel laughs and smiles knowingly.
"I haven't met any of them yet. Bunny says he doesn't want to share me." She says sarcastically. "I've been trying to wear him down."
"I get that. She's really nice, though. I'm sure the rest are, too." They continue to chat until the restaurant begins to clean up for lunch, and when the girls stand up from the table to allow the busboy through, they jokingly lock their arms and waltz out of the store feeling lighter than air. "So what are we doing for the rest of the day?"
x~x
"What do you mean you saw Rachel?" Bunny can't help but yell. Jack had used a snow globe to sneak into the Warren to inform him of the newest Guardian scandal. He had been shocked to see the Winter Spirit in his home, but even more so to hear the scene he had just left.
"That's right. She was eating breakfast with Sarah. They met a couple of years ago but didn't keep in touch. It was all a big roll of the dice. Funny, huh?" Bunny just stares at him, trying to decide whether or not to believe him.
"You're lying."
"Am not." Jack says, feeling his grin almost split his face. The fact that he was telling the complete truth and Bunny didn't believe him was just too good. "Tall, blonde hair, with dark doe eyes?" Bunny's own eyes narrow at the description and he feels a moment of dread. "Who knew you were into the blonde bombshell type?" He laughs when Bunny throws one of his boomerangs at him with surprising anger. Jack dodges and flies around before sitting on one of the branches of a nearby tree.
"How did you find out about her? Did you tell the others?" Bunny demands after he catches the flying weapon.
"I saw you two at her apartment a while ago. And uh… yeah, I did." Jack says with a small laugh. He knew that he should feel bad, but he had been putting up with Bunny's bad attitude for so long and he finally had the chance for revenge. Besides, the rabbit obviously wasn't that angry. He was mostly embarrassed. Jack watches his ears twitch in annoyance and the way his eyes won't make eye contact with him.
"Seriously, mate? You keep me from telling them about you and Sarah but then you blabber on about me? You're a huge pain in my ass, you know that?" Bunny growls. He now knew how North had found out about them, and why the older man had given Rachel the snow globe for Christmas. He should have known that Jack had something to do with them being outed.
"Ah, don't worry about it, Cottontail. No one is judging you for it. If anything they were harder on me."
"And they should be." Bunny says, feeling a headache coming on. "Where are they now?"
"I dunno. They said something about a girls' day."
"When are they coming home?"
"I wouldn't count on seeing Rachel tonight. It seemed like a girls' day turning into a girls' night situation to me." Jack says with a smile, remembering the excitement on their faces. Bunny crosses his arms over his chest, a bit upset that he wouldn't be able to talk to her for at least another day. Still, he was happy that she had found someone she could be open with. Ever since the huge blow out with Cassie, he knew that she had been feeling quite alone, even though she didn't say it. Meeting Sarah could very well have been fate interfering, but whatever the cause, he was happy for it.
"What do you think they're doing?"
x~x
Rachel and Sarah grin as they walk out of the nearby grocery store with multiple paper bags in their arms. They had decided that they would spend the day at Sarah's house seeing as she had the larger bed. Neither wanted to end up on the floor so that had been the general consensus. The fact that they would be spending the day and night in required sustenance, and therefore the shopping trip had begun.
"I still can't believe Bunny didn't tell me about you." Rachel says with annoyance as they put the groceries into her car.
"Right? I just found out about you a few weeks ago! And I didn't even get your name."
"Boys are so useless sometimes."
"Totally." They get into the car and Sarah begins giving Rachel instructions to get to her house. The entire way the older girl just contemplates how she could never have seen Sarah since their class. They had lived so close and had never seen each other, let alone talked. It was also strange to think that if she had never left her hometown, then she most likely would have never met the girl who now seemed so much like a soul sister.
When they arrived at Sarah's house they instantly unloaded all of their spoils. Sarah began putting the wine into the refrigerator to chill and blending up ingredients for margaritas, and Rachel opened the box of brownie mix to begin cooking. They couldn't help but smile at each other and chatter the whole time they got ready for their impromptu sleepover.
When they were primed from tasting the alcoholic delicacies and the junk food was ready, they moved to Sarah's bedroom and instantly turned into teenagers again, giggling and gossiping with bubble gum pop music playing softly in the background.
"Oh my God these are so good." Sarah mumbles around a mouthful of brownies, making Rachel laugh.
"Thanks. I'm not that good of a cook, but sweets are something that was a necessary skill to learn." She smothers one of the precut brownies with cream cheese frosting and takes a big bite, moaning as her taste buds explode.
"I'm better with entrees. I always burn cakes." Sarah sighs.
"Together we could rule the world!" Rachel squeals, pumping her fist in the air. Sarah joins in and they both giggle so much that they nearly fall over. The booze had begun to kick in.
"So exactly how long have you been believing, again?"
"My whole life. Well, not really I guess. There was a bad year where I stopped." Rachel says, and Sarah pauses in her braiding to give a questioning look to the back of her head. They had gone over almost every topic together except for the one that meant the most.
"What happened?" The brunette asks, continuing to move her fingers through the other girl's hair to create two Dutch braids.
"My parents died when I was really little." Sarah murmurs in sympathy and Rachel smiles slightly. "It's okay. I don't remember it. But they died Easter morning when they were hiding eggs in the front yard. I just assumed after that that Bunny wasn't real. The next year though, I saw his ears when he left my room. I knew then that he was real. And the rest is history."
"Wow. You're so lucky. I didn't start believing again until I met Jack. It made me feel really guilty for a while." Sarah frowns. Rachel turns to look over her shoulder at her.
"How so?"
"Well… I didn't realize that if enough people stop believing in them, that they disappear." Rachel nods solemnly. Bunny had told her about that. "So I felt partially responsible, as if I was a bad person because I just didn't treat them as if they were real." She finishes tying off Rachel's long braids with elastic bands and smiles. "All done." Rachel turns around completely and admires her new hairstyle for a moment before looking at Sarah head on.
"It's okay, you know. We all lose sight of things every now and then. I did, too, remember?"
"Yeah, but it was tragedy that made you forget. I just grew up. And to think, that I stopped believing because of the lies of other children's' parents telling me that they were only fairy tales." Sarah says bitterly. "I just thought, well, it's a good thing I'm not like those other silly gullible children anymore. I didn't realize…"
"People are stupid sometimes." Rachel interjects, making Sarah laugh.
"No kidding. It's nice to meet someone who also believes. You have no idea…"
"Oh, I do. I recently lost my best friend because she thought I was crazy." Rachel says, frowning. "She had badgered me about my new boyfriend and so I just finally told her. Things were said, and… well, you know… we broke up."
"I'm sorry." Sarah says, reaching for her hand. "I know what it feels like not to have many friends, either. I think that's why I was so happy to meet you."
"You are tons of fun, Sarah. It's hard to believe that you don't have friends."
"Well, I'm in my third year of college. I kind of lost contact with my high school buddies and have been so focused on school-"
"And Jack?" Rachel smirks.
"And Jack." Sarah admits with a blush. "I just haven't really gotten out there to meet people." Rachel nods in understanding. "Speaking of meeting new people, you've met Jack. What is Bunny like? Jack tells me he's a sourpuss." Rachel laughs and pulls her phone out of her purse to scroll through her pictures.
"He can be a little grumpy sometimes, but he's really as soft as a marshmallow." Well, sometimes, she thinks naughtily to herself. "After all, he helped me when I was at my lowest."
"How did you meet anyway?"
"He hid in my closet one Easter morning." Sarah starts to crack up laughing and Rachel can't help but join in. "Really! He was watching me open my basket and I caught him." Sarah shakes her head and then leans forward when Rachel sticks out her phone to show her a picture of him.
"That's him?"
"Yep."
"But he looks so much… like… I don't know… a guy!"
"I know. He says he's a pooka, some kind of magical rabbit species or something." Rachel smiles at the picture and feels her heart race pick up at the smirk on his face.
"Jack made him seem so mean. No offense…"
"It's okay. To be fair, Bunny didn't speak so highly of Jack either." Rachel says with a sheepish smile, and they both laugh.
"He's great, if not a little too mischievous at times. I'm sure Bunny has been at the receiving end of his pranks more than once."
"He's cute, though." Rachel says, and Sarah giggles in thanks.
"He is." She sighs and seems to be lost to the world for a moment before she grins. "I'll bet he's with Bunny right now, teasing him about having met you."
"You think so?"
"Oh, he wouldn't miss out on the chance to infuriate him. Trust me."
"Oh no."
x~x
"Just rack off, why don't ya?"
"Aw, come on. I said I was sorry." Jack says as he floats around Bunny's head, following the irate rabbit around the Warren.
"And I don't accept. Now go away."
"I'm just trying to make conversation. You know the girls are getting along. We should try to get along, too."
"Maybe we could if you'd stop annoying the hell out of me and get lost!" Jack tuts at Bunny, only managing to annoy him more. "Jack, did you ever consider that I didn't tell anyone about us because I wanted to wait?"
"Wait? For what?" Bunny tries to come up with a reason on the top of his head to support his semi-lie, but when it takes too long Jack just laughs. "You weren't waiting for anything! You two were just too caught up in fuc-"
"Hey!" Bunny interrupts with a lethal glare. "Don't you ever think of her that way. Ever!" Jack is caught off guard by his anger and pauses before landing on the ground in front of Bunny's still moving body and puts his hands up in surrender.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to insult her." Bunny lets out a frustrated sigh and crosses his arms over his chest, and Jack studies him for a moment. "Wow, you really love her, huh?"
"What's it to you?" The surly response is all that Jack needs to hear, and he instantly feels guilty.
"I'm sorry, Bunny. I know I can be a jerk sometimes."
"You've got that right." Bunny sighs and glares down at Jack. "I didn't want to tell the others because I was afraid of what they would say."
"What do you mean?"
"What do you think? We're Guardians, Frost. You're telling me that they wouldn't have something to say about that?"
"No, they didn't. Look, Bunny, I really am sorry that I outed you guys. I shouldn't have done it. But they didn't judge you at all. They were surprised, sure. But they didn't say anything bad about either of you. They're happy for you." Bunny sees the complete honesty in his eyes and feels a spark of happiness at the fact that the other Guardians didn't judge them. "And if you're worried about some kind of rule against having love affairs with adult believers, there is none. I checked North's book myself." Bunny laughs at that and Jack can finally breathe easier, smiling back.
"Well that's a relief." Bunny says to himself, and instantly Rachel's face pops into his mind, her eyes sparkling at him. "I miss her already."
"Yeah, I know. I bet they're at Sarah's house right now, getting wasted and gossiping about the size of our junk." Both of them stare at each other in rising horror before they scoff and shake their heads.
"Nah…"
x~x
"So what turns Jack on?" Sarah chokes on her margarita, making Rachel laugh and reach over to beat on her back.
"Sorry."
"You can't do that to me! I nearly died!" Sarah pouts when she recovers, coughing. "I don't know!"
"You guys have had sex, right?"
"Of course we have."
"Well?"
"He loves my legs. I don't know why, but he's always touching them, even when they're covered." Sarah blushes as she remembers what happens when he starts touching her, and she quickly changes the subject. "What about Bunny?"
"Oh, he's an ass guy, for sure." Rachel rolls her eyes. "He's always staring at it and can't keep his hands off of it. Then again he loves my breasts, too." She bites her lip as if trying to figure out which one he likes better, and Sarah laughs.
"Well, I can see why!" She playfully raises her eyebrows at Rachel's form fitting sundress that clearly shows off her assets. "How does that work anyway?"
"Hm?"
"Well he's a rabbit! And he's technically always naked. Where…?"
"Oh! Have you ever watched animal planet?" At Sarah's confused nod, she continues. "Well it's kind of like a normal animal. It's in a little… um… uh…" The alcohol fogs her brain and she can't figure out how to explain it.
"A hidden compartment?"
"Yes!" Rachel squeals with a grin. "Exactly!" Sarah cracks up and they both giggle uncontrollably. They were officially drunk.
"How big is it?" Sarah asks between her giggles. Rachel sighs with a saucy smirk.
"Oh, it's big. But what's really impressive is how long and often he can go. It's like he's a horny teenager."
"I know what you mean. Jack once made a snow day just so he could hold me hostage!"
"Wow. Now that's commitment!" Rachel laughs.
"So… how long have you and Bunny…"
"Almost a year. You?"
"We were friends for a while before, but we actually got together like a year and a half ago." The blush on Sarah's face told her that there was more she wanted to say. "I just…" She shrugs and then focuses her eyes on Rachel's face. The older girl raises an eyebrow. "You're experienced right?"
"Kind of. I've been single for a long time so I just went the battery operated route before Bunny." Sarah lets out a surprised laugh before composing herself again.
"Well, we've been together for a while, but there's still something I… well…"
"Sarah, I'll give you any advice you need."
"Good. I mean, I know the basics, and we've gone pretty far. I'm not complaining. But I still don't know how to…" Rachel waits patiently as Sarah gets up the courage to share what has been plaguing her. "I want to know how to give Jack a blowjob."
"Oh, is that all? It's really easy! All you do is-"
"I know how to do it. But I don't know how to do it without choking." Sarah says, and Rachel grins at the simple question.
"Ohhhhh!" She immediately grins and shakes her head. "You just need to practice." Sarah stares at her in confusion. "Do you have any popsicles?"
"Yeah." Rachel hops up from the bed and immediately rushes to the freezer to collect some, along with another bottle of wine from the cooler. She hurries back and grins at Sarah's apprehensive expression.
"Okay, this is really easy. And these are even better to practice with than vibrators because they numb your throat since they're so cold." Rachel pauses in her lecture and glances at Sarah. "How does that work anyway? Is he cold all over?"
"Kind of. But not as cold as a popsicle."
"Huh. Well anyway…" Rachel tears the wrapper off of two popsicles and hands one to Sarah, who takes is and seems to inspect it.
"He's bigger than this, though."
"Well I'd hope so. But trust me, you want to practice on something small or you'll just make yourself puke."
"Ew!" They share a laugh and then Rachel sits back up.
"Okay, seriously. Once you master the popsicle you'll be fine. You just have to learn how to breathe through your nose at the same time. Now…"
x~x
"Are you sure this is the right place?"
"Of course I'm sure. I've been here like a hundred times." Jack leads Bunny through the neighborhood to Sarah's house. They couldn't stand it anymore. The mystery of what the girls were talking about was beginning to make them worry. Jack had been the one to suggest that they check in on the girls. Bunny had instantly agreed, but now he was reconsidering the decision.
"It doesn't look like anyone is home." He says, looking into the dark home from the yard.
"They're probably in her bedroom. Come on."
"I don't know, mate."
"Aw come on. What are you afraid of?" Bunny bristles at the taunt and hops past Jack to check in the windows. They continue to move around the house until Jack laughs in success. "There they are! They're just…" His face drops and he moves closer to the glass in disbelief. "Oh my God!"
"What are you gawking at-" Bunny's retort dies in his throat as he stands to look into the same window and sees the two girls sitting on Sarah's bed. Rachel is watching Sarah bob her head over a brightly colored popsicle and seems to be giving her hints before engulfing her own frozen treat in a manner that holds too much meaning to be innocent. "What the devil-" Both girls jump and look toward the window at his exclamation, and the boys duck with guilty and confusion expressions. Rachel runs over to the window and opens it as they take off, her eyes narrowing on their quickly disappearing forms.
"I see you, Bunny! Your furry little ass is so mine when I get home, you sneaking-"
"Damn it, Frost." Bunny glares at Jack's back as Rachel's angry voice becomes quieter the further away they get. "I told you we shouldn't have-"
"Oh shut up and run, Cottontail!"
"If I'm put in the doghouse because of your stupid-"
"You? What about me? Sarah's still mad at me for the last trick I pulled-"
"And it serves you right! I should never have let you convince me to come here. We should have just stayed in the Warren!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."
x~x
"That was Bunny?"
"And Jack. Apparently their curiosity got the better of them." Rachel shakes her head before taking a nasty bite out of her popsicle. Sarah comes to the window and looks out, blinking at the darkness.
"I don't see them."
"Bunny knows to run when I use that tone. He'll be hiding out for at least a day." Rachel grumbles. Sarah laughs and finishes her popsicle as well.
"I'm never going to hear the end of this one. I can't believe they just saw that." She says with a blush.
"Don't let it bother you. If you do eventually get to that point with Jack you'll have to push away all embarrassment." Rachel says, closing the window. "Still… this could work to your advantage. He'll be picturing that in his head every time he sees you now. Nothing wrong with planting a little seed."
"I need another margarita."
"Agreed."
x~x
The next day the girls awaken with pounding headaches, surrounded by junk food carnage. They smile at each other the best they can and instantly trudge to Sarah's kitchen for some coffee.
"That was fun." Sarah says softly after half of her mug is gone. Rachel smiles and nods, sipping at her own coffee.
"Yeah. I'd almost forgotten how much fun sleepovers were."
"Yeah." They are silent for a moment before Sarah glances up cautiously. "We'll see each other again. Right?"
"Of course." Rachel assures her. "There is no way I'm letting go of a Guardian sister that easily."
"A Guardian sister? I like that." Sarah smiles, raising her arm. "A toast to the Guardians' Girls."
"May we never be parted again." They touch their mugs together and grin at each other, feeling their worlds open up to something new and wonderful. Even more than that, they feel a true kinship growing without the walls that they had been forced to build in their pasts.
Author's Note: Whew! Okay guys, I need you to be brutally honest with me. I know there are diehard Jack fans and diehard Bunnymund fans who don't really care about the other. So I need to know if I should continue to have their love lives intertwine, or if I should have them separated like before. This particular story is finished, it only has two more chapters and they aren't as long as this one, but I think they're a nice way to wrap it up. Either way, I need your guys' opinions! What do you like and don't like? What should change? I need inspiration, please! So review whatever you feel, I promise I will not judge you! Thanks for reading!
