"So, the Man in the Moon told you to find me but you don't remember why?" Jack asks the exuberant little girl who has been sitting next to him behind the snow bank since yesterday; neither of them had gotten any rest as they had been talking all night and now into the morning as well. Kaylee nods, and says, "Can we do something!?"

Jack sighs, slightly frustrated, and thinks a little more on this: if the Man in the Moon had sent her to him, than she was important, but apparently little kids aren't very good at remembering important information, immortal or not (as he had for certain determined, no matter how strange, that the little girl was immortal and a Winter Spirit as well). Sighing again, Jack closes his eyes briefly; this might be more complicated than he originally thought.

It was the day after Jack had gone to Burgess, and Tooth was a little surprised that he hadn't come back yet. Normally he would return to the North Pole every night to spend it with North and Bunny, but according to North he had never showed up. She had considered going to check up on him, but she was tired after a long night collecting teeth and had decided on going back to the Tooth Palace for some rest. Now, however, it was morning and she was on her way back to Santoff Clausen to see if he had made his way back yet.

When she got there, a window was open like normal to allow her and Jack to fly in whenever they needed too, so she entered North's fortress to find North, Sandy, and Bunny all standing around the globe; Jack wasn't in sight. Why hadn't he come back yet? Was he worried about Bunny pummeling him? No, he couldn't be; the Winter Spirit had never been afraid of facing Bunny after a prank before, so why would he start now? Pushing the thought out of her head for the moment, Tooth flutters over to the globe and hovers next to Sandy.

"Hey, what are you all looking at?" she asks, startling the male Guardians; they hadn't noticed her come in.

"It's one of the lights," Bunny answers when no one else does. Tooth pondered this for a moment; had a light gone out? Had a child stopped believing? When no further explanation is offered to her, Tooth voices her questions aloud.

"No lights have gone out, Tooth; one of them turned blue, though. I've never seen anything like this happen before," North answers, appearing amazed with a hint of worry; after all, no one knew what it meant and if it was good or bad.

It is then that Tooth makes a discovery looking at the little light. "Wait, it looks like it's in Burgess," she points out.

"You're right," North agrees. "It is in Burgess." It is then that Tooth remembers that Jack is in Burgess; what if the light meant trouble and something bad had happened to Jack? Is that why he had never made a reappearance?

"Guys, Jack's in Burgess! What if he's in trouble!?" she bursts out, concerned for the young Guardian.

"Wait, Jack is in Burgess?! Tooth, you told me that no one knew where he went!" Bunny says angrily.

"Well, duh! I couldn't have you chasing him through the entire place and messing things up when Christmas is only a month away! I told him that he should go before that happened, and he said he was going to Burgess," Tooth explains.

"Everyone in the sleigh," North interrupts, cutting off the retort Bunny was about to make to Tooth. "We need to go check out what is happening and make sure Jack is okay."

"Wait, maybe only one of us should go; what if it's a trap or something?" Bunny points out. Sandy makes a sand image of a thumbs-up sign to show that he agreed; maybe all of them shouldn't be jumping into something with no idea of what they were getting in to.

"I'll go," Tooth says, concern radiating through her. "If I'm not back by tonight to collect teeth, than it was a trap," she says bravely, and before North could protest, she grabbed one of the magic snow globes, threw it at the wall, and entered the portal into Burgess. Upon arriving, she decided to go to Jamie's house first; it was Saturday, and if Jack wasn't in trouble she was almost positive that he would be there.

Fluttering up to the window, she peeks in and sees Jamie on his bed reading a book, not looking very happy about it; it was obvious he would rather be doing something else. She taps on the window gently, and he looks up with a hopeful expression on his face. It goes away when he sees that it's Tooth and not Jack, but he is still happy to see her and smiles, walking over to the window and letting her in.

"Hi, Tooth!" the boy says excitedly. "Did you bring Jack with you? I didn't want to play in the snow without him, but I'm so bored! Is he coming today? He said he would be here this weekend, and I thought he would come yesterday but he never showed up."

Frowning now that she knows Jack isn't here, she answers, "No, Jamie; I'm actually here looking for him."

Jamie's face falls, and he looks as worried as Tooth. "Is he okay? Did something happen?"

"Oh, don't worry too much; we just haven't seen him since yesterday and he said he was coming here, so I came to look for him. I'm sure he's fine, and when I find him, I'll send him here as soon as I talk to him about something, okay?" Jamie nods, and Tooth flies out of the window, heading to the one other place she hopes Jack might be: his lake.

As she approaches the area, she hears laughing, and she automatically recognizes it as Jack's laugh. She smiles, and picks up her speed, and even more so when she swears she hears a little girl's laugh; what was Jack Frost up to?

"Jack?" she calls out, not seeing him at first glance. Jack hears Tooth call him, and for some reason feels the need to hide Kaylee; how would the Guardians react to her? He didn't want them to throw question after question at the little Winter Spirit, as he was now certain that she was one when he saw frost appear on a tree she touched.

"Jack?!" the Tooth Fairy calls out again when he still doesn't come out. Putting a finger to his lips to signal that Kaylee should be quiet, he floats out from behind the snow bank. Tooth spots Jack and attempts to fly over to him, but he gets to her quicker, not wanting Tooth to see the little frost girl hidden behind the cover of the snow bank. "Oh, thank Manny you're here! I was starting to worry a little, Jack! Jamie has been waiting for you to play with him, you know! What have you been up to?" she asks.

She notices the guilty look on Jack's face; he had completely forgotten about Jamie and Sophie. "Um, nothing," he says.

"Well, we wanted to check on you; there's a blue light on the globe coming from Burgess and we're not sure what it is and-"

She is cut off when a little girl's voice says, "Jack, can I come out!? I'm bored!"

Jack face-palms, and Tooth looks around, confused. "Jack, who's here with you? Is it a new believer!?" she demands excitedly.

"Uh, you could say that; she's shy, though! You can't meet her right now . . . um, how about you go back and tell Jamie I'll be there soon, and North that I have no idea what the light is and we should just forget it for now, okay?" Jack tells her, although Tooth has gotten to know him well enough in the few months after Pitch's defeat so that she knew he was lying to her; did he have something to do with the blue light? Although she felt a little hurt that he wouldn't open up to her about it, and she desperately wanted to know what could be so big that the Winter Spirit would hide it from her, she decided to give him his privacy for now. However, she did vow that if he started acting too strange she would investigate further into this.

And trust me: Tooth did start to notice strange things happening with him.
