I don't own Rise of the Guardians.

I sprinted with Bunnymund through the Rabbit Hole trail.

"Come on, Lovey, keep up!" He teased. I laughed and sped up. I flipped over the rabbit and ran ahead. I skidded to a stop as I saw the sky and swore. The Aurora Signal.

"What is it?" He asked. I pointed to the sky and he frowned.

"That can't be good." He muttered. We took off down the Rabbit Hole again.

~{~}~

I jumped up through the Rabbit Hole and pulled out an arrow to shoot in case of emergency. Bunnymund stood next to my proudly before shivering.

"Ah, it's freezing." He hissed. I laughed. We sprinted forth and headed towards the workshop.

"I can't feel my feet! I can't feel my feet!" Bunnymund yelped. I laughed harder. I strung my arrow with a rope and shot it. It hit the outer wall and the rope began retracting. I latched on and grabbed Bunnymund by his vest-like thing.

"Here we go!" I chirped as we shot up. Bunnymund yelled.

~{~}~

"Cookies? Eggnog? Anyone?" North offered. I grabbed a cookie and stuffed in into my mouth. I climbed my way up to the rafters and lounged there in comfort.

"This better be good North. I was just about to whoop Lovey's butt." Bunnymund said. I laughed.

"Suuure, Bunny!" I called down.

"Oh, Freya, I hadn't noticed you were here!" North exclaimed. I saluted him.

"Montreal, sector six: ten premolars, eight incisors and twelve canines. Steer clear of the wild goose migration." Tooth ranted to her faeries.

"Sandy, thank you for coming." North said to the muted gold man. I flipped down and landed gracefully in a crouch. I followed the other guardians into the Globe Room and leaned against a desk.

"I know, I know, but I obviously wouldn't have called you all here unless it was serious." North told Sandy.

"What was it, Big Red?" I asked.

"The Boogie Man was here - at the Pole." He told us. My eyes widened.

"Pitch?! Pitch Black?! Here?!" Tooth gasped.

"Yes! There was black sand covering the globe." North said.

"What, what...what do you mean black sand?" Bunnymund asked.

"And a shadow!" North said. I frowned.

"Hold on, hold on, I thought you said you saw Pitch." Bunnymund said.

"Well, ah, not exactly..." North said.

"'Not exactly'? Can you believe this guy?" Bunnymund said to me. I smirked slightly but continued to listen. Bunny pulled out an egg and began painting it in boredom.

"Look, he is up to something very bad. I feel it, in my belly." North said, slapping his stomach. Bunnymund's eyes narrowed.

"Hang on, hang on, you mean to say, you summoned me here three day before Easter - because of your belly? Mate, if I did this to you three days before Christmas-"

"Please. Bunny. Easter is not Christmas." North said nonchalantly, snatching Bunnymund's egg and juggling it.

"Argentina. Priority alert! A batch of bicuspids in Buenos Aires." Tooth ordered her faeries.

"Here we go again..." I muttered to Sandy. He nodded and asked with sand for some eggnog. A yeti served it to him and he perked up as he noticed something.

"North, I, I don't have time for this. I've still got two million eggs to finish up." Bunnymund said. Sandy pointed to the cieling and I looked up to see the moon. My eyes widened and I looked back to Sandy.

"You don't think..." He nodded. "Guys..."

"No matter how much you paint, is still egg!" North yelled to Bunnymund.

"Guys!" I called again.

"Look, mate, I'm dealing with perishables. Right. You've got all year to prepare!" Bunnymund said.

"Pittsburg, boy eight, two molars. Saltwater taffy." Tooth said.

"Why are rabbits always so nervous?!"

"And why are you always such a blowhard?!"

"Ontario, sector nine: five canines, two molars, and fourteen incisors. Is that all in one house?" Tooth ranted.

"Tooth! Can't you see we're trying to argue?" North said.

"Sorry, not all of us get to work one night a year. Am I right, Sandy?" Tooth said. Why am I always left out? I work 24/7 too!

"San Diego, sector two! Five incisors, a bicuspid and a really loose molar on stand-by." Tooth said.

"Come on, mate, Pitch went out with the dark ages. We made sure of that - remember?" Bunnymund said. I looked back to the moon and rolled my eyes. Nice check up, Cottontail.

"I know it was him. We have serious situation!" North insisted.

"Guys!"

"Well, I've got a serious situation with some eggs."

"Guys!"

"Hey, I hate to interrupt the, "We work so hard once a year club" but could we concentrate on the matter-" Tooth was cut off as I whipped out an arrow and shot it at a glass sculpture. It shattered and everyone quieted instantly.

"We've been trying to get your attention for the past ten minutes while you all bitched about whats cooler! Look!" I said, jabbing my finger at the ceiling.

"Aah! Man in Moon! Why didn't you say something?" North said cheerfully. I growled and slapped my forehead while dream sand shot out of Sandy's ears.

"It's been a long time old friend! What is big news?" North said to the glowing space rock. Everyone looked to the moon beam and a shadow appeared in the shape of Pitch. My eyes widened.

"It is Pitch." Bunnymund said in awe. North patted his stomach and looked back to the moon.

"Manny... what must we do?" North asked. Pitch's silhouette disappeared and a pillar of light appeared in its place.

"Ah, guys, you know what this means?" Tooth said. I nodded with a look of excitement.

"He's choosing a new Guardian." North said in awe.

"What?! Why?!" Bunnymund asked.

"Must be big deal! Manny thinks we need help!" North said.

"Since when do we need help?!" Bunnymund said, annoyed.

"Since now, Cottontail, so shuddup." I said.

"I wonder who it's gonna be?" Tooth said to me. I nodded.

"Maybe the Leprechaun?" I suggested as a four-leaf clover appeared over Sandy's head.

"Please not the groundhog, please not the groundhog." Bunnymund whispered. A flash of light and a wind gust later, a hooded figure with a staff appeared on the pedestal.

"Who is that?" North wondered aloud.

"Jack Frost." I breathed.

"Ah, I take it back! The Groundhog's fine!" Bunnymund yelped as the tiny tooth faeries swooned. I grinned.

"Well, ah, as long he helps to ah...to protect the children, right?" Tooth said, clearing her throat after I caught her dreamy gaze.

"Jack Frost!? He doesn't care about children! All he does is freeze water pipes and mess with my egg hunts. Right? He's an irresponsible, selfish..."

"Guardian." I cut him off. "Don't you remember how I was and still am slightly the same way?"

"Jack Frost is many things, but he is not a Guardian." Bunnymund said, a regretful look crossing his face at my remark. I turned my back to him and stared at the holographic Jack.
