/hey guys! I know in the last chapter I would be updating Wednesday. This is just an extra for you. I will still be updating on Wednesday! Don't forget to review or PM prompts or ideas! Thanks! Sorry about the 'Troy shall not read' thing... My brother wanted to read and I didn't put the better, (hopefully) less OOC one up. Tell me if it is less OOC or not. Thanks./

"You are the problem Jack, ya dill. You mess everything up. You don't deserve being a Guardian. None of us even care about ya! Your family was probably overjoyed when you died! All you do is cause trouble! You don't belong anywhere! Ya know how I know this?" Bunny asked, crossing his arms.

Jack stared up at him, holding in his tears. He timidly shook his head 'No.'

Bunny scowled and looked down at him narrowing his eyes dangerously. "Because, if you did belong, than surely the Man in the Moon would have alerted us to your existence earlier on. But no, he waited for three hundred twenty-seven years."

Jack sniffled. 'Bunny's right. I don't deserve to be a Guardian, and I sure don't deserve to talk to them if Man in the Moon didn't even tell them about me for three hundred twenty-seven years.'

"So just ge' otta my Warren!" Bunny yelled.

Jack tilted his head forwards slightly and flew as fast as he could out of the Warren.

A week later Jack sat in a small cave beside Burgess Lake listening to the radio. He couldn't deal with silence any more, and after adjusting to hearing people talk to him Jack started to miss it. So after Bunny had yelled at him he hadn't come out of the cave, resulting in a mellow winter. A song came on that Jack knew almost by heart.

"Ho! Hey! Ho! Hey! I've been trying to do it right. I've been livin' a lonely life."

'Just about sums me up right there.' Jack thought.

"So show me family all the blood that I will bleed. I don't know where I belong, I don't know where I went wrong."

'I lied to myself. I thought people could care for me. I thought I could have a family.' Jack thought. When the Guardians initially tried to get him to join their ranks he turned them down at first. Other people had tricked him. Like the Elementals, they waited until Jack completely trusted them until the kicked him out. The Elementals consisted of the Summer spirit and her sprites, The two spring spirits, May and April, and the fall spirits, Kale and Hunter. Jack had been five years old when he had first met them. That had been his first interaction with people that could see him (besides the wind) and he was overjoyed he wasn't alone. In the end, Jack ended up burnt and angry. Now with the Guardians, he thought they had really meant it. He thought that they were sincere. Apparently, he was wrong.

"I belong wi-" the radio started before being turned off.

'I don't belong. Bunny said so.'

"Where's Fros'bite? He shoulda been 'ere four hours ago." Bunny complained.

"Who saw Jack last?" Tooth asked.

Sandy wrote 'April 10'.

North nodded. "Same. That was the last meeting. About two weeks ago."

"I saw 'im a week ago..." Bunny said nervously.

"What exactly happened, Bunnymund?" Tooth asked, narrowing her eyes. Everyone knew that Jack and Bunny didn't exactly get along, to put it nicely.

Bunny laughed nervously. "Well, ya see I was kinda busy and he kept gettin' in the way, sooo..."

"So?" North asked and Sandy raised an eyebrow.

"I said somethin'... I didn't mean it though." Bunny rushed seeing Tooth's glare.

"What. Did. You. Say?" Tooth said flying close to Bunny staring him down.

"..."

"E. Aster Bunnymund you tell me right now!" Tooth demanded.

"... Told 'im he didn' deserve ta be a Guardian. An' tha' he made a mess of everythin'."

"And...?" North asked.

"He didn't belong."

Sandy motioned for him to keep going.

"And none of us cared 'bout him."

Tooth was 'this' closer to giving Bunny a quarter. "What exactly, were you 'busy' with, might I ask?"

"I was still cleaning up after the Easter fiasco… Guess I kinda lost my temper."

"You think?!" Tooth shrieked before turning to Sandy. "Do you think you can track him?"

Sandy nodded and concentrated. After a few moments he stopped and shook his head, eyes downcast.

"Bunny! When we find Jack you are going to apologize!" Tooth yelled, fluttering around angrily.

"I will see if I can find him on globe." North said side-stepping away from the fairy before rushing to the globe.

North exited the room with the Guardians behind him. Soon after, they left deflated. Jack was missing.

The next day.

Jack sat listening to the radio. That was all he seemed to be able to do. It made noise and he needed noise. He didn't want to face the silence.

'Hold on, to me as we go. As we roll down this unfamiliar road. And although this wave is stringing us along, just know you're not alone. 'Cuz I'm gonna make this place your home.'

'But, I am alone. No one cares, therefore I don't have a real home. And the home I do have... I don't think a cave besides a lake qualifies.' Jack thought crying silently, listening intently to the song. He closed his eyes and cried into his hands. 'If the Guardians did want me around they would have tried to make me feel welcome. Not sent Bunny to kick me out of their 'group'. They only used me to defeat Pitch. How could I ever have been naive enough to think that someone could care? The Elementals are enough of an example. They celebrated after they got rid of me, the Guardians probably are happy now. Especially, Bunny. I can't believe I viewed him as a big brother. 'Sides, if the Guardians did care then they would be out looking for me. Not celebrating'

Four days later.

"So, here is where we are searching today. Jamie," North looked at the eleven year old. "You are searching Burgess' forest. Bunny you are searching Antarctica along with Tooth. Sandy, you will be searching Jasper National Park in Canada. And I, along with Yetis and fairies, will be searching everywhere else.

So, here Jamie was, scouring the forest beside Jack's lake. He was following quiet music.

'Can anybody hear me? Or am I talking to myself. My mind is running empty in this search for someone else, who doesn't look right through me. It's all just static in my head. Can anybody tell me why? I'm lonely like a satellite.'

Jamie paused outside of an entrance to the small cave that was hidden by brush and small trees, "Cuz tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut sending S.O.S. from this tiny box. And I lost all signal when I lifted off. Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot."

"Can I please come down? 'Cuz I'm tired of drifting round and round. Can I please come down? I'm deafened by the silence. Is it something that I've done?" The music abruptly stopped. Jamie was about to go in when he heard Jack whisper, "I forgot. I'm winter. Winter is isolation, loneliness, trouble, death. The world would be better without winter. I've killed crops, animals, and people because I couldn't control my powers."

That was it. Jamie crawled into the cave, How Jack could fit into it, he'd never know. He paused, letting his eyes adjust to the darkness. He saw Jack curled into a ball. Jack, the almighty Jack. Guardian of fun was sad. Jamie's big brother in all but blood.

"Jack?" Jamie whispered.

Jack curled into himself even more. "What are you doing here? Isn't there school today?"

"School's over- for me. I need to teach you something you forgot." Jamie said sitting down beside Jack. "Winter is also snowballs and fun times."

Jack peeked one eye open and looked at Jamie.

"Winter is the peace to the world. Where families can gather together and have fun. It's where the world is quiet and calm." Jamie finished.

"Why were you looking for me?" Jack whispered sitting up.

Jamie leaned over and hugged Jack, "You're my big brother, best friend, and a Guardian."

Jack's head raised fully. His eyes were open with shock and joy. Jamie smiled at his friend, his brother.

"Everybody - even Bunny - has been worried sick! We thought we would never find you!" Jamie said smiling.

"Everybody? Even Bunny?" Jack asked doubtful.

"And don't you forget it!" Jamie said standing up and offered a hand to Jack. "Come on, we need to get to the North Pole."
