This is my very first Chapter that I've posted here. It will probably start slowly, so please give it a chance.

Tooth shot into North's Workshop, sending a pile of toys flying. She zipped around frantically. Where were they?

"Tooth! Why you here?" North's voice boomed out from across the workshop.

"North!" She flew over to him. "My fairies! They're all sick! None of them can collect teeth tonight and there are just so many." North patted her on the back, almost crushing her wings.

"No worry Tooth. We help." He led the way to his globe room and pulled the emergency handle. Within minutes, the whole gang was assembled.

"What's this about North? It's only a month and a half to Easter and I have work to do."

"My fairies are sick and I can already feel the children belief dying." Tooth fluttered in front of North.

Jack, sitting on one of the window ledges moved over and took Tooth's hands. "Don't worry Tooth. I'll help you." He suddenly noticed Sandy frantically making signs appear above his head. "What's that Sandy?" He thought for a moment then realized what the little man wanted. "We should all split up and do it?" He asked and Sandy grinned and nodded at him.

North decided that he had been left out for long enough and shouted for their attention. "Tooth, you can take North America. Jack, you take Africa and Australia. I'll do Russia and Bunny will get Europe. Sandy, you take care of South America."

Tooth held up her hand. "There's a problem." Everyone looked at her expectantly. "Jack can't go by the equator. He's a winter sprite remember?"

North stroked his beard for a moment, nodding. He suddenly beamed around at them all. "Jack can take North America and Tooth can take Africa and Australia. Problem Solved! To the sleigh!"

Bunny backed away, shaking his head. "Nu-oh mate. I'm taking my tunnels." He quickly rapped his foot on the ground and disappeared down the chute that had appeared.

Tooth, Sandy and Jack glanced at each, and then Tooth shrugged and flew out the window. Jack and Sandy watched her for a moment, and then headed off together to the sleigh.

North was yelling at one of the yetis when they arrived. From what they could hear while being safely distant from North's anger, was that the reindeer were sick and couldn't fly.

"Why can't they fly today?" North's bellow made the yeti cringe before him. He offered an explanation in yeti-speak that neither Jack nor Sandy could comprehend.

"They're sick?" North shoved his way past the yeti and entered the stable. The yeti left there shook his head and told Jack and Sandy something in yeti-speak. Jack and Sandy could only shrug at him. They all jumped as North came rushing out.

"Deer can't fly. What to do now..." He sat down, shaking his head. Jack stepped forward holding out his hand.

"I'll take you over there." North waved him away.

"No, takes too long. You have your own area."

"It'll only take a minute." He suddenly leaped forwards and grabbed North, calling for the wind to take them to Russia.

Jack landed them at the farthest west part of Russia that he could find. North stumbled a bit as he was let down.

"Thanks Jack. You'd better get going now." Jack saluted North, grinning before shooting off into the sky again.

Flying above the clouds was always an exhilarating feeling. It was like you were on top of the world. Jack grinned as he thought of the limits he used to have as a mortal. He only had a few memories back but he was pretty sure that he couldn't fly in his past life.

He yelped as he suddenly dropped into an air pocket. A gust of wind blew up and caught him lifting him back up to the clouds.

"Thanks wind. I knew that you wouldn't let me down." He chuckled at his unintended pun, and then became more serious as North America became visible below him. He swooped down and landed on a light post in the suburbs.

Night was just falling when he found his first tooth. He waited for the child to fall asleep then slipped in through the window to grab it. It was a perfect left incisor. Tooth would be proud. He crept back towards the window and had nearly launched himself out when he remembered to leave something behind. He quickly conjured up a perfect snowflake about a hand's width wide and slipped in under the pillow. That flake would never melt.

The rest of the night was a blur of sneaking into bedrooms, finding teeth and leaving gifts and even, once, invoking the wrath of a greyhound named Abby. Eventually, with all his collecting done, Jack made his way back to the Pole to report.

"Jack!" He was surprised by the panic in Bunny's voice when he flew in through the window.

"Bunny! What-"

"Jack! All my egglets are sick! It's only a month and a half to Easter and none of the egglets can be painted!" Bunny was close to tearing his fur out with worry. There was no way that anyone could help if the eggs themselves couldn't be painted.

North was there too and he looked extremely worried.

"Reindeer, fairies, and egglets? This cannot be coincidence." He turned to the door as Tooth and Sandy walked in together. "Ahh. You're here…"

The new arrivals looked from North to Bunny to Jack in confusion.

"What's up?" Tooth directed her question at Bunny, who seemed on the verge of panic.

"My egglets! They're all sick!" He turned away and started mumbling to himself.

Tooth looked at North with pleading eyes. "We have to help him North!"

He was already shaking his head. "We can't paint the eggs if they are sick."

"Why-" Tooth suddenly broke off into a fit of coughing and had to land on the ground to regain her balance. Everyone threw her concerned looks.

"Are you alright Tooth?" Jack floated over and put an arm around her shoulder, steering clear of her wings.

"Just a bit of a cough." She waved him away. Everyone looked at her in concern. None of the guardians had ever gotten even a tiny bit sick. They weren't sure if it was possible. Tooth glared at them and they quickly moved on.

North was very quick in making his views known. "It was Pitch. I know it. I feel it in my belly."

Bunny was nodding agreement now that there might be something he could do. "He's probably scheming to take over again. He's just found a new way to do it."

Tooth was more reasonable. "Could he have enough strength back yet? It's only been a few months."

"I wouldn't put anything past that man." North scowled at nothing in particular.

"I'm actually with Tooth on this one. He was pretty beat up when we last saw him and we haven't heard anything from him." Jack had returned to his perch at the window and was staring out into the night.

This time North scowled at Jack. "I know it's Pitch. We must all break up and find him."

There was suddenly a ringing sound from behind them and they all turned to find Sandy dropping an elf. A barrage of images appeared above his head and it took them a couple tries to understand it. North finally spoke up.

"Tooth should stay here? Alright. The rest of us will go searching."

"No, that's not alright! I don't want to be left behind! I want to help! This is hurting my fairies." Jack gently put an arm around the indignant tooth fairy again.

"You're sick. The rest of us can handle this and report back to you."

Bunny spoke up, tire of being left out. "This is all well and good, but maybe we should start looking."

Jack nodded and moved to the window. "I'll start with Pitch's lair. If anyone's going to find him there, it should be me." Without giving anyone a chance to protest, he leaped out the window, leaving the other guardians to plan out what they're going to do.

Just a warning: I probably won't be able to post chapters very quickly. I'm a pretty slow writer and I'm bogged down in homework and music practice. The next one will be up hopefully by Sunday. Thanks for the feedback and all the follows I've gotten already.
