"...oh nononono. No. I refuse to touch that...that...thing!"
Jack peered curiously at the 2 sparkly envelopes. They didn't look at all strange. In fact, the only strange thing was that they were covered with glitter. North passed one to Jack which the boy opened with haste. It was an invitation to the Christmas Ball that was only held once a decade.
"It says here on the invite that it's held once a decade..."
"Is correct, my boy."
"...well then why was I never invited before?"
North sighed. He had been hoping that Jack would bring that fact up. Now he had to answer the question. Delicately. He didn't want Jack running off again after the events of the past 2 days. Nuh uh. No way.
"the other spirits, as you know, no like you much. See you as irresponsible, careless, dangerous. Every year I try to invite you. Every year the others would threaten me. Last year they even went far as threatening to destroy all toys. But now, you are Guardian. Meaning it is compulsory for you to come."
He saw the gears in the young one's mind, working frantically. After what felt like forever, Jack nodded in understanding. Now for the most difficult part.
"Bunny, here is your inv..."
"Oh no ya don't. Every year it's tha same thing. I open the invite, 'nd something explodes into ma face. Glitter, sequins, ribbons.."
"Now, now my friend. Open it. Nothing will happen if you open it."
With a suspicious glare, Aster took the envelope slowly and pulled out the invite. He held it in front of himself with his eyes closed. After a few moments he opened one eye and saw nothing had come out. He breathed out a sigh of relief.

Then he found himself covered in tinsel of the most Christmasy colours. Jack pulled out a camera he had recently acquired and snapped a photo. This was going on the Bunnymund Wall of Shame. Right in the centre.
"Ya said nothin' would 'appen if I open it!"
"Ho Ho! I vas right. It happened 30 seconds after you opened!"
North chuckled and made a motion for the 2 younger Guardians to follow him. They walked through several halls which Jack had not yet had a chance to explore. Nick opened a white door and inside there were several yetis ticking columns of a list.
"This is where we sort who will be coming and who will not." A yeti made a thumbs up and the Santa went to look at the list. He mumbled to himself as he inspected the names and the columns in which the ticks were placed. He got to the bottom of the list and then gave a startled yelp. Bunnymund hoped over and looked at the last name listed. His eyes widened at the name.
"No way! She never, ever, EVER comes!"
"Who?"
North handed the list to Jack and pointed at the name at the bottom.
"Who is Cherry Winters?"
Well here it is.
As you can probably tell, there will be a female winter spirit named Cherry Winters (My OC) Should she be Jack's best friend, love intrest or little sister figure? (she will be younger than Jack)
