I apologize in advance if I completely jacked up North's accent. I stink at writing in accents.


Naughty

"I don't know Jack. Isn't this guaranteed to get us on the naughty list for life... or eternity, whichever comes first considering who we are," Danny said, looking over at the winter spirit.

"Naw, I've done worse and North has never threatened me with that. Though, considering my record, I'm probably not getting off the list anytime soon. As for you, I'm sure you've done plenty enough good deeds to cover this," Jack said, still looking over their target.

"I still don't think this is a good idea," Danny said, crossing his arms. "Why can't we just go in the front door? I thought Santa was your friend, shouldn't he just let us in."

"Of course I'm allowed in. Not one hundred percent sure about you, but North's a nice guy and would probably let you have a look around." Jack turned back to the Phantom and gave him a mischievous smile as he said, "But where's the fun in just walking in. Besides, I want to see the look on Phil's face when he sees that I finally managed to sneak inside."

Danny rolled his eyes. "Yeah, definitely a bad idea," he said under his breath, but did not object further.

Jack scanned the workshop one more time before saying, "All right, we'll go in the yetis' quarters. The elves are usually walking around in their quarters and there are usually a few cleaning yetis by the guest rooms. After that last incident with Mrs. Claus, I don't ever try her and North's room, so the yetis' quarters are usually the best route to take."

Danny looked over at his friend shocked, a slight green blush settling on his cheeks. "What happened with Mrs. Claus?" he asked, his mind coming up with a few, rather inappropriate, thoughts on what could have happened with the boy sneaking into her room.

Jack noticed the ghost-boy's blush, making him blush a purplish- blue color himself, and quickly said, "She wasn't naked or anything." Though a few moments later and she would have been, Jack could not help but think. "I just learned my lesson about sneaking into a girl's room. It took a week for the bruise from her slap to heal," Jack said, his hand moving up to hold the cheek that had been hit.

Danny snorted and shook his head, the blush fading from his cheeks. "That's what you get."

"Please, like I don't know about your excursions into the girl's locker room," Jack said with a smirk.

The blush was back. "I'm going to kill Tucker," Danny mumbled before saying, "At least I didn't get caught."

"That's because you can turn invisible. Speaking of which." Jack stood up and rested his staff against his shoulder. "Are you coming or not?"

Danny stared up at the Guardian of Fun for a few seconds, reevaluating the pros and cons once more, before sighing and standing up.

Jack smiled and said, "Great, follow me." Jumping up and letting the wind carry him towards the workshop, the halfa right behind him. They stopped at a window and Jack pushed it open. "They always leave this one unlocked. Such a rookie mistake really."

The two flew into the room and as Jack shut the window Danny whispered, "Just how many times have you tried to break in here?"

"Don't know, stopped counting after the first fifty years, but it was somewhere in the two hundreds when I stopped. At least I think. It might have been more," Jack said. When he turned around, he saw Danny giving him a wide-eyed, slack-jawed look. "What? I had a lot of time on my hands and no one to hang out with." Danny quickly looked away and scratched his neck. "Now come on, we aren't getting anywhere standing around."

Jack walked over to the door and poked his head out looking back and forth down the hallway to make sure it was empty. "Coast is clear, let's go."

The two white-haired boys quickly made their way down the hallway and to a flight of stairs. The two froze halfway down as they heard steps coming towards them. Danny grabbed Jack's hand and turned them both invisible as they pressed themselves against the wall as the two yetis passed.

Jack had already explained to Danny earlier that moving through the workshop intangibly would be cheating, and might not even work since Jack did not know if any of the magical spells that protected the workshop would work against intangibility. He had completely ignored Danny when the ghost boy had pointed out that invisibility would be cheating too.

Once the yetis were gone, Danny dropped the invisibility and the two scurried down the stairs and through the hall to a set of double doors. Jack grabbed the handles and nodded towards Danny. The ghost boy grabbed his friend's shoulder, once more making them both invisible.

Jack pushed the doors open just enough for the two of them to slip through before letting Danny go in first.

To say the ghost boy was amazed would be an understatement. The room was a large, multi-story that was packed with toy building yetis and elves carrying plates of cookies and attempting to build toys. Danny probably would have made a comment, but Jack had already told him about the misconception of who built the toys. The ghost-boy was in such a shock that he had not even realized he had let go of Jack's shoulder and dropped the invisibility, let alone moved to the railing of the balcony, until he heard a loud, Russian accented voice call out, "Jack Frost!"

Danny turned around to see the man that could only be the famous Santa Claus, otherwise known as North, standing next to a yeti who was gawking at Jack in surprise. Danny had to admit, the figurehead of Christmas did look quite a bit more intimidating than the cheery greeting cards and spirited holiday marathons would leave you to believe. Almost as tall and wide as Danny's dad, Santa's looked more like muscle, Santa stood more than a head taller than Danny and Jack. With his arms crossed, an unreadable expression on his face, and his "Naughty" and "Nice" tattoos prominently featured, Danny would definitely think Santa was a force to be reckoned with, had he not faced scarier in his line of work.

Jack however just smiled, casually leaning against his staff as he said, "Hey North. How's everything?" Smirking, he looked over at the yeti and said, "What's wrong Phil? Surprised I managed to bust in?"

The yeti just glared before looking away with his arms crossed, leaving Danny to wonder if the yeti was just grunting or saying something in some yeti language he just did not understand.

Santa mumbled an "Mmhmm" before looking over at Danny, who immediately froze. "And what do you two think you are doing?"

Jack walked over to Danny, who was still frozen, and said, "Just giving Danny a tour, trying to get him out of his Christmas funk."

Danny unfroze as he sent a glare at the winter spirit and pushed him away at the reminder of the boy's reasons for dragging Danny to the pole.

Santa dropped his arms and laughed. "Yes, I am aware of Danny Fenton's... 'Christmas Funk' as you say, along with his reasons. His father is one of the only adults that believes in me after all."

"Tell me about it," Danny dead panned.

Jack just kept smiling as he said, "I figured if there was any place that could put a little Christmas spirit into him it would be the pole. You agree, right North?"

"Yes, is good plan," Santa said before crossing his arms once more and giving his fellow guardian a look. "But perhaps next time, bring guest through door not window."

"Where's the fun in that?"

Santa kept up the look for a few more seconds before shaking his head and setting a hand on Danny's shoulder. "Come you must see sleigh! Everyone loves the sleigh."

Danny sighed but went along with the Christmas Guardian, Jack following after them after sending one last smirk to the pouting yeti. After all, this could not be anywhere near as bad as Ghostwriter sticking him in that stupid poem had been.
