OH MY GOSH! SO MANY REVIEWS IN TWO DAYS! But back to the point, XD, I changed the title, as Meru-chan pointed out. :P And thanks for all the positive feedback! It really helps me write! :D

Adjusting the ice bag on Bunny's head, Tooth adjusted the pillows under Bunny, and sighed. He had been out for three days, and he showed no signs of waking up. North walked in, closely followed by a perturbed Sandman and a very confused Jack, "Now, figuring out culprit is best course of action, no?"

Tooth and Sandy nodded, but Jack just put up a hand, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What do you mean culprit, you guys haven't explained what's happened!"

Sandy jumped up and picture began forming rapid fire about his head, and Jack put up a hand, "That's not really helping. But thanks, little man. I musta done something really bad to get..."

North paused and then laughed, "No, nothing bad. We wipe clean the slate, and overlook. For now, you are GUARDIAN!"

Loud music blared around the room as elves marched in time. Yetis gathered around Jack, faeries fluttering around with a necklace, trying to put it on Jack, and a pair of elves gestured at Jack to put on some shoes. Jack looked around in confusion, getting agitated, until he suddenly slammed down his staff, sending a large blast of wind around the room. Everything abruptly stopped. North looked up in confusion, while Tooth was frantically helping the faeries which had been blown away. Jack just glared at them, "What makes you think I want to be a guardian?"

North looked at Tooth, who was just as confused as she was. Finally she spoke up, "Jack, I don't think you understand. I mean, I know you had no say in this, but neither did we. We aren't told who the guardians are and who they aren't. The Man in the Moon picks himself. It happened last night..."

Jack visibly stumbled backwards, "The Man in the Moon, he, talks to you...? And not me...?"

Sandy nodded, and North sighed, "You see, you cannot say no. It is destiny."

Suddenly Tooth straightened up, and gasped. She quickly flew out the window, and North looked around in her absence confusedly. Sandy suddenly jerked upwards, and North looked down. The sand above his head rapidly changed form. All three of them tensed, and North turned to Jack, "Stay here. You need to protect Bunny."

Jack simply nodded awkwardly and the two others ran off towards the workshop.

"PITCH! You have THIRTY SECONDS to return my faeries!"

Pitch smirked and sunk into the shadows, "Or what...? You'll stick a tooth under my pillow?"

North furrowed his eyes, "Why are you doing this?"

Pitch looked at him in contempt, "Maybe I want what you have. To be believed in. Maybe I'm tired of hiding under beds."

Tooth looked on with murder in her eyes, "Maybe that's where you belong!"

Screaming, she grabbed one of North's swords and lunged at Pitch. Cackling he summoned a large Night Mare, and Tooth jerked back, gasping. Pitch smirked, "Whoa! Hey, easy, girl. Easy. Look familiar, Sandman? Took me awhile to perfect this little trick. Turning dreams into Nightmares. Don't be nervous, it only riles them up more. They smell fear you know."

He smiled evilly, and Sandy clenched his fist. Looking up, he noticed a slight confused look on Pitch's face before it went away. Then the inevitable question of, "And where is the wee little fluff ball? Bunny I think you call him?"

North's face hardened, "None of your business. He is simply not here."

Pitch laughed, "Well, it seems I've struck a nerve, have-!"

He was suddenly cut off, and the air temperature dropped. The air around them was clouding up, and pressure was building around them. Tooth shrieked, and clung to North, Sandy close behind. Huddling together, the three of them made sure not to leave any unguarded space. Suddenly an unearthly howl rang around the room, and Pitch gasped, "What... IS THAT?!"

He proceeded to shadow travel away from the area only to step out in front of the three Guardians. He looked around wide eyed, the air quickly getting thicker and darker by the second. He yelled and suddenly disappeared. Sandy sent a blast of sand in the general direction of where Pitch was, but he wasn't there.

And all at once the air cleared.

Jack sat next to Bunny, "Well, I've been thinking this over, and I mean, I never really, well, thought about what I was doing. I mean, well, I just saw you down there, hiding, I'm assuming, what were assumed to be eggs. And you were, well..."

He awkwardly looked around, and grabbed a cookie off a platter near the small hospital bed. Not knowing any better, he took a bite and immediately spat it out, "Oh gross! It's wet! Wet, wet, wet!"

Gasping and clutching his glass of water, he took a large drink, and swished it around in his mouth before opening the window and spitting it out. He groaned and pushed away the platter, which was then swarmed by the elves. The doors burst open in the infirmary but Jack took no notice. He just continued with Bunny, "And I don't know what I was thinking. I mean, it was really immature, and just plain cruel. I know that it probably ruined your day, and back then, I probably didn't care. But really, I'm sorry. I really am. But when I- Hey what're you guys doing with Pitch?!"

Toothiana was fluttering around nervously and swopped over to Jack, "DID ANYTHING HAPPEN WHEN WE WERE GONE, LIKE ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY, OR ANY PEROPLE YOU DIDN'T KNOW OR-!"

She was cut of abruptly as North pushed her out of the way, "Nothing big... Pitch attacked us in Tooth Palace, but while that was happening, a large shadow appeared, and attacked Pitch. We were forced to being him here, since we cannot let him suffer. It is not right..."

Jack simply sighed, "Well, I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help, I've been here with Bunny. His breathing is getting better though, and he's a lot less restless."

Tooth nodded, "Well, that's good. And- One second, North is is calling me."

Jack nodded and wandered out of the room. North beckoned Tooth over, and grimaced, "This... This is evil. I can detect some bad magic, and Sandy has confirmed. We do not know the origin of such magic, but it is dangerous. We have never seen it before. We do not know what to do with it..."

Tooth hushed him, "Well, I don't know about you, but I think we need to find it. Find who made it, find why they made, just... We need to know. Unchecked this can be dangerous, and not just for the children."

"Oi, I think that you three should possibly include me in this?"

Not much to say now! Thank you for all the reviews! Thank you all, and please review again! ~ Shilo Burbans
