Jack flew through the air, across the ice and snow that made up the artic. North hadn't called the guardians together for about a year and being here now made him feel a pang of guilt in his stomach for not visiting sooner. The only time he'd visited since Pitch had been defeated had been just after Christmas to see how well North had dealt with the Christmas rush, aswell as the fact that he'd been feeling rather lonely; everyone had been with their families instead of playing in the snow. As for Bunnymund, Jack hadn't seen him at all in the past year, although it was about only a month away from Easter now so old cotton tail was probably enjoying playing with his paint set again. Jack chuckled at the thought of himself bursting into the Warren and watching the kangaroo go off his head; or he could always whip up another blizzard. He knew he shouldn't but the idea was just to tempting and he could not miss the opportunity to annoy the other guardian.

He'd seen Tooth quite recently though. He mostly went to visit BabyTooth or to just be alone with his memories which she was quite happy to surrender them to him whenever he asked. It still bothered him why he couldn't remember his human memories and the other guardians could. Tooth had suggested that maybe it was because he'd drowned in a freezing lake since wasn't the extreme cold meant to harm your memory anyway?
And the Sandman he saw every night when he ran across the rooftops exploring the dreams of the children. He quite liked the little man; he found it funny how he never talked, and some of his facial expressions had Jack laughing for hours – like whenever he was being ignored, a picture of that scowl would make anyone smile.

Reaching the workshop he couldn't help but laughing at the door that stood before him. He'd never used it before, the first time he'd actually gained entrance to the workshop, he'd been tossed through a magic portal and whenever he had tried to break in he'd always found a window or a small door round the back. When he came earlier to visit at Christmas, he'd flown in through a window right into Phil who, luckily, didn't chuck him out that time. The door that stood infront of him now looked like something out of a cartoon. It was possibly the tallest and widest he'd ever seen, with a single metal loop hanging down in the middle for a knocker. It was a cliché in of itself; something you may find in one of those kids fairytales.

Just as he was debating between knocking or sneaking round the back, the door opened a margin and a furry hand grabbed the front of his hoodie and yanked him inside the sweltering workshop.

"Hey hey hey, no let me go, hey put me down will ya?" He laughed lightly as the Yeti holding him looked around, confused at what to do. "It's me, it's Jack" The Yeti, whichever one it was, suddenly looked very shocked and immediately placed Jack on the floor and began brushing him down warbling in that language of theirs. Jack just nodded at points he felt was appropriate, trying not to laugh again at the figure infront of him. The sound of bells filled the air and looking down, Jack found two elves standing before him holding the blue shoes that had been made for him when he'd first became a guardian. Despite being touched by North's gesture, Jack just couldn't bring himself to wear them, he'd feel like a clown, and he just had a thing against shoes nowadays. "Uh no thanks, I'll fly up" and before he could be bombarded with more apologies or gifts he pushed off and flew quickly up to the higher levels of the workshop.

"Ahh Jack my boy. Welcome welcome, I trust you're well" North's thick russian accent came booming out at him as he reached the giant globe at the centre of the workshop "I knew you'd arrived, what took you so long?"

Jack glanced around as his feet touched the warm floor Why is it always so hot in this place? A buzzling noise sounded in his ear and he turned slightly to find BabyTooth hovering happily next to him. Chuckling her brought up a finger and stroked her head "Hey BabyTooth what are you doing here?"

"I'm sort of training her to be my second in command" Tooth's excited voice sounded from behind him and he turned to meet her bright smiling face. It didn't take him long to notice where she was looking; like many of the tooth fairys, she seemed to have a fascination with his teeth and him smiling right now provided her with a sort of viewing gallery. He cleared his throat "Ummm Tooth?" Her purple eyes flashed up to meet his blue ones and she appeared slightly embarrassed "Sorry Jack they're just so white" BabyTooth made a small squeak from her position on Jack's shoulder seemingly reminding Tooth of something "hmm? Oh yes, Jack… here" She offered out her arm, a golden casket present in her hand – a picture of a grinning brown haired boy on the end. His memories.

"I've already seen them, you know that"

Tooth grinned again "It has a new memory" At Jack's confused face she continued "The memories change sometimes. You know that we keep them to remind children what's important. Well, if we kept showing the same memories then they wouldn't seem that important after a while so occasionally they changed if a child's viewed them a lot – which you have. I believe the new memory is you and your sister playing…but I'm not completely sure" Smiling at him once again she placed the casket in his free hand before turning away sand returning to the other BabyTeeth in the corner.

Jack glanced down at the casket briefly before slipping it in his hoodie. He didn't want to view it here. Turning around to the rest of the room he could only see North and the Sandman. He flew over to where they were stood, by the control desk of the globe. "Hey where's cotton tail?"

"He is coming" North's eyes seemed trained on a green dot that was moving slowly across the globe to the North Pole. "Jack may I ask you something?" North's eyes never strayed from the globe as he began pressing various buttons. Jack suddenly needed both hands to hold his staff in case his curiosity got the better of him and he began pressing everything in site.

"Of course, what is it?"

North pointed towards another dot on the globe, this one was a very bright blue and was whizzing very quickly in circles and various other directions above a small village in England. "What would you say that is?" Looking at the dot once more Jack couldn't help but think of the patterns he made himself when he was flying or spreading frost.

"Umm someone flying?"

"That's what I thought. Phil" The Yeti came stomping over from his position in the corner. Jack wasn't sure what he was meant to be doing over there. North handed Phil his snowglobe "Go and get her" He nodded at the globe, showing Phil the blue dot "You may have to chuck it in the air to catch her"

Jack watched, confused, as Phil called out for another Yeti and they headed out the door – presumably to activate the snowglobe outside. "Okay what is going on? Who's flying? Who's she? Why is she flying?" Jack looked back at the position of the dot on the globe "Why's she even flying there, a huge storm's about to hit there"

"So it was you, I knew it!" The yelling came from directly behind Jack and –recognising the voice – he turned around slowly, a mocking smile present on his lips to face a tall – and pissed off – rabbit. "Bunny, about time you joined us. I was watching your progress, time to lay off the carrots I think" He had to hold back a laugh as the expression on the rabbit's face grew darker by the second. Bunnymund bent down so that his face was level with Jack's. "Five words Frostbite, Lay off with the storms. Easter's getting closer mate and I'm not having it messed up by the mood swings of a teenage piece of snow"

"more than five words there" Jack flew up and sat on top of the globe, keeping eye contact with the bunny, and began circling with his toe the area occupied by the still-whizzing blue dot "plus this little storm…" he ignored bunny's snort at the word little "...is not my doing….or wasn't…doesn't seem to be there now, hey what do ya know it's turned into a blizzard" The bunny's eyes narrowed "A blizzard? Oh that's definitely not you is it? Trying to repeat '68 are we"

Jack was just confused now. He hadn't ordered a blizzard and there'd been none expected in that area. Slowly he lifted his gaze from the grey fuzz ball and shifted towards North "Why did you say we were here again?" That quickly turned everyone's attention.

"Yeah why mate? It's a month before Easter. We've been through this and you even admitted that Easter is just as important as Christmas"

North motioned to Tooth and Sandy to come forward and join them "Manny has chosen new guardian" An expression of shock crossed everyone's face and there was an uproar as everyone began talking at once with the obvious rounds of Why and How. Especially Why. A loud ringing of bells cut through the noise and everyone turned to Sandy just before he dropped the unfortunate elf he'd grabbed.

"Thank you Sandy" North glanced back at the globe and following his gaze, Jack discovered the blue dot had disappeared. "Ah good they have her. Now look, I don't know why Manny has chosen her, I don't know what she looks like or what she has powers over. I don't even have a name for her. Manny just shone his light on her dot the other night and told me what I must do. Apparently she's in great danger, or could be soon, and becoming guardian will protect her"

Before Jack could ask who she was in danger from, a loud whistling noise echoed around the room and a portal opened infront of the globe, burning a bright white. Instead of seeing two Yeti's step out with this mysterious new guardian, a red sack came tumbling into the room, hitting the floor with a muffled bang. Two Yeti's then followed, one of them – probably Phil – holding what looked like a wooden staff similar to Jacks. "Hey can I see that? It looks just like-" Muffled yells cut him off as the other Yeti attempted to open a now-struggling sack.

The string fell to the floor and the Yeti retreated to his position in the corner. Without realising the guardians had all leant forward slightly in anticipation, as if it was going to help them see inside the sack.

"Well you win 7 maybe 8/10 on style; I can say that I was pleasantly surprised"
