The guardians were in Pitch's lair with Pitch Black himself; trapped and stuck in a small, dark room, obviously, separated from the center of the lair.

"I can't see! Where is the bloody door!? Pitch, let us out!" Bunny shouted, really mad now. Pitch, who had stayed away from them in the shadows longer than necessary, finally showed himself. He let out a groan of annoyance and shook his head. "Haven't you heard? We're stuck! I can't open this door when I'm inside the damn room!" He looked embarrassed by this, they could tell. Well, no wonder! He had been the one to lure them inside after threatening them about hurting Jamie Bennett, the boy they had got to know with right before the battle they had fought – and won. But when they arrived at the lair, they soon found out that Jamie wasn't there.

They had been tricked, and Pitch had just intended to shut the door, when Jack flew towards Pitch as he turned the doorknob, shouting at the boogieman. This made Pitch turn around to look at his cold enemy, letting go of the knob. The icy wind followed Jack Frost like a cape as he flew past his fellow guardians, and it accidently shut the door close before Pitch got the time to get out.

It was a special door. A door he was proud of, a twisted, unpleasant one. Once it was closed, it was impossible to open it – but only from the inside. He could open the door when he was outside of the room, but he happened to be inside of it. He was just as stuck as his enemies were! Perfect!

"It's Frost's fault!" Pitch growled.

"No, it's your fault, Pitch! Hadn't it been for you, tricking us, this would never happen!" Tooth said before Jack could answer the tall boogieman.

"And what are you gonna do about that? Throw teeth at me?" Pitch's voice couldn't have been more sarcastic. Tooth crossed her arms angrily and sat down beside Sandy who floated few inches above the black floor. In fact the whole floor looked like a big hole they soon would fall through! Tooth shuddered and smiled bravely up at Sandy as he patted her back, silently comforting her.

"So we must wait in here till someone opens the door from outside of this blasted room?!" Bunny nearly screamed and gestured at the whole room, anger plastered on his furry face.

"Yes! Do you finally understand now? WE. ARE. STUCK! You are all so slow, so very thickheaded and… and…" Pitch trailed of and sighed aloud. He was stuck with them! The annoyingly kindhearted group of idiotic guardians! His life sucked right now!

"I am not going to sit here and wait! It may take hours before someone find us!" North complained, hoping so very much that his yetis soon would find out where they all were and come and rescue them! He mumbled some Russian phrases under his breath as he walked restlessly around.

"There is nothing else to do but to wait," Tooth said and rubbed her forehead, feeling helpless.

"Oh this will be so funny!" Jack Frost said sarcastically and threw back his head. They would most likely spend the rest of the day, and maybe the next day too, inside this room!

"I don't have time for this!" Bunny said with his richly accented voice.

"Yeah, but we can't do anything about it! Oh boy, this will be so boring!" Jack immediately replied.

And an hour later, when they all were sitting on the floor together, Jack Frost brightened as an idea popped up in his mind.

"What is it?" Asked North who had been the first to discover Jack's sudden eager.

"The time will go faster if we do some fun! So let's play truth or dare!" Jack's smile was huge and toothy.

"Blimey! Have you gone mad already?" Bunny bellowed with a you-gotta-be-joking-me-smile. However, that smile of his soon stiffened as he understood that the winter guardian was serious.

"Jack, that is not a good idea, let us not d…"

"Oh come on! It's just an innocent game," Jack interrupted Tooth. "So, who's in?" He looked around and smiled wide when sandy after a while hesitantly raised his hand. And then North raised his hand too, though he was shaking his head in disbelief at what he'd just agreed on.

Bunny and Tooth looked at each other, grimacing, but then Tooth shrugged and raised her hand as well. "Oh well…why not?"

"Bunny? Pitch? Care to join us?" Jack asked. "It's better to do something than just stare at the wall, right? Come on, guys! Are you cowards?"

"I'm NOT!" And Bunny joined the circle as well, not willing to be called a coward, of all things!

"If you think I'm going to play with you fools, you are SO wrong! You will fear me, not laugh of me!"

"Who said we were going to laugh?" Tooth asked. "It's just a silly game, Pitch. Nothing serious… just for fun."

"Yeah, join the bloody circle, or we'll probably never get it on with," Bunny said, he knew that Jack wouldn't give up until everyone joined. And Bunny couldn't help but agree. The more people the better, that was just how it was. Bunny couldn't believe he was thinking that; all he should care about right now was how to get out of this damn lair! But he had obviously lost his mind!

Pitch finally, after arguing and calling them many, unpleasant names, joined the circle, blowing out an annoyed huff through his nostrils. "You would never stop nagging, so that's why I'm joining you now! I won't enjoy it a moment, I'm sure."

"Awesome!" Jack exclaimed, but then his smile faded. "But we don't have a bottle to spin!"

"Oh, that's sad, we'll have play truth or dare another day then, eh?" Bunny was suspiciously eager, and Jack narrowed his eyes at him, but then smiled when he came to think of Bunny's boomerangs.

"We'll just use one of your fine boomerangs then! Now, hand it over!"

Bunny did as told and sat down, a look of annoyance crossing his face. "Let us get it on with, ok? Spin the boomerang, Frost!"

And it landed on Tooth.

"Truth or dare?" Jack asked, grinning. Tooth bit her lip, thinking hard, but after sensing Jack's impatience, she decided to choose the 'safest', and quickly said: "Truth."

"Hmmm…Have you ever had a crush on someone in this room?" Jack crossed his arms, smiling wickedly. Tooth blushed and mumbled something under her breath. A question mark popped up over Sandy's head, and he wasn't the only one who hadn't heard her.

"What? I didn't catch that," Jack said, earning a deep sigh from the tooth fairy. She looked at him, her face flaming.

"Last year, when you became a guardian, I kinda had a very small and brief crush on you. And don't look at me like that! It was your teeth! They sparkled so beautifully! So you simply can't blame me!" Tooth crossed her arms and looked another way, hiding her rosy cheeks. North and Sandy chuckled, highly amused. Bunny rolled his eyes and Jack snickered, then smiled softly. "It's ok, Tooth. It's in the past."

"Ok, enough with this blushing and girly giggling," Pitch growled. Bunny smiled. "The boogieman is eager to continue the game. So, spin the bott- I mean, boomerang, will ya!"

And Tooth did as told, and this time the boomerang landed on Pitch.

"Truth or Dare?" She said, smiling nervously. Why did it have to land on him?! What to ask a boogeyman?

Pitch rolled his eyes and sighed. "Truth, I guess."

"Um, well….I…"

"Oh, just ask him something!" Bunny said. Tooth rolled her pink eyes. He could have helped her instead! North, who was sitting next to her, noticed her issue and leaned closer to whisper something in her left ear. Tooth smiled and shook her colorful head.

"North, that is kinda ironic, since we're already locked up. But oh well!"

Pitch glared at her, impatient. "What?"

"If you were locked up in a room with one person from this room, whom would you choose and why?"

"What a stupid question!" Pitch's face reddened. It actually reddened!

"Come on, Pitch! Answer her," Jack said teasingly. Sandy nodded his head.

"If I absolutely had to choose one of you, it would be the annoying tooth fairy! Happy now?!"

"Why? Because she's annoying? Huh?" Bunny questioned and raised his dark brows. Tooth was gaping, surprised.

"She is annoying, yes. But not as slow and insufferable as you are," Pitch gestured at all of the males in the room. "Now! Are you satisfied with my reply?" He looked at Tooth, who quickly nodded her head and motioned for him to spin the bottle – boomerang. Soon it was pointing at Bunnymund.

"Truth or dare?"

"Truth." The bunny answered hesitantly, earning a groan from Jack. "You guys are so boring! Would someone like to pick a dare soon?!"

"Shut up, Frost," Pitch growled, then looked at Bunny with an evil look plastered on his grey face.

"What is your worst fear?"

"Well, you ought to know that, Pitch! What happened to me last year is my worst fear, and it was your fault!"

"Oh, you mean the eggs that the children didn't find? Silly me, I should have known." Pitch rolled his eyes.

"For a moment it was just one kid who believed in me! It could have killed me!" To Bunny's annoyance, the boogieman didn't seem to pay attention to what he was saying. Damn Pitch! And he cursed under his breath as he reached for his boomerang and span it. Tooth patted his back and he smiled at her, appreciating the friendly gesture.

The boomerang landed on the sandman himself. The eldest guardian smiled unsurely as he understood it was his turn to either be embarrassed or offended.

"Truth or dare, mate?"
