This chapter isn't as funny as I wanted, but I wanted to get it out quickly. By the way, the numbers are going to be completely random. Most are going to be before Jack becomes a guardian, but I'll have a few with Jack as well. Enjoy and Please Review!


Rule Number 38: No one is to disturb North during his vacation except in the case that someone is about to immediately die, or Pitch is about to destroy the world.

North didn't get a lot of time off. This was easily seen by anyone who knew how much work he did, making sure that there was a present for every girl and boy in the entire world, watching to see which were good and which were bad, and delivering the gifts to all the good children in one night was exhausting. But when North did get time off, almost nothing could make him leave his vacation once it started.

Well, almost nothing. North was having a wonderful time vacationing in the Caribbean during the first week of January. He was having the best time soaking in some sun, when he looked up into the sky to see the bright lights that the mortals around him seemed unaware of. North growled, this had better be life or death.

Snatching up his emergency snow globe North set it for the North Pole. Stepping through the portal to the globe room North was not expecting to accidentally step on something. With a shout, North went sprawling on the floor, hitting his head on the way down and giving himself a horrible headache. Shaking his head, he staggered to his feet, and then looked around. Instead of the other guardians standing there waiting for him, there were several elves thrown across the floor near the Northern lights emergency button, seemingly having stood on top of each others shoulders to reach the controls. Several yetis were also in the room trying to herd them back.

North glared around the room, then said, "Someone better explain what's going on right now. And their better be a very good reason why you called me back from vacation early, or you are going to spend the rest of your lives out in the stables." Pure, utter silence fell over the room, that was broken suddenly by Sandman accidentally breaking a window as he parachuted into the room. North groaned, he could feel his headache getting worse by the second. He had a feeling that his day was about to get much worse.

"…by the time the rest of us had gotten the signal and reached the Pole, North had completely chewed out the elves and the yeti's that were supposed to be watching them. It took us hours to finally calm the big guy down." Bunnymund finished the tale, his feet up on the table, smirking as the others started laughing, remembering North's face.

Jack cocked his head to the side. "But why did the elves press the button in the first place?"

Bunnymund started chuckling himself then. "We never did find out. You know how short an attention span the elves have. By the time North stopped yelling at them, they had entirely lost interest in whatever they had wanted."

"And that's why," Tooth said as she finally was able to control her giggles, "the elves are never left unsupervised in the globe room. And why the guardians are the only ones allowed to raise the alarm."

Jack nodded, and then thought for a second. "But what happened to the elves?"

Those made everyone stop, trying to remember. Bunnymund turned to North with a frown on his face. "What did you do with those elves?"

North stroked his beard, a smug smile on his face. "Oh, this and that," he hedged. "I made sure that they learned their lesson. And let me tell you, that was one thing the elves wouldn't forget!"
