I love writing Bunny! Feel free to ask if you get confused by any of his Auzie.


The Guardian of Wonder had not slept for days.

North's attention was constantly one the globe, watching for when, not if, it would happen again.

Every day for two weeks now, strange things had been happening on the globe. The lights would flicker randomly, and then go back to normal. It did not happen on the entire globe at once as it had over a year ago when Pitch Black had returned. It would just happen in a single city, state, or region for a minute or so and then stop. There was no pattern that he could recognize in this phenomenon and no way to predict when or where it would happen next or for how long.

The "ripples" as he had come to call them were, however, becoming progressively longer. The first time had been in St. Petersburg, and the ripple had been so fast that North could have blinked at the wrong moment and not seen it. But the previous morning a ripple in Cape Town, South Africa had lasted almost ten minutes, the longest yet.

"Awful clucky over that globe there, North."

North spun around to see Bunny standing in the doorway, arms crossed and looking concerned. Bunny was the only other Guardian that North had told about the ripples. He knew Sandy, Tooth, and Jack were constantly on the move and did not want to take them away from their duties as Guardians unless it was an absolute emergency.

"Do not sneak up on me that way! You almost gave me heart attack."

"Sorry mate. But ya look flat stonkered. When's the last time ya had a lie-down?"

The Guardian of Wonder sighed heavily and rubbed his thickly bearded chin. "Not for days. Something is terribly wrong, Bunny."

"Let me guess. Ya feel it in your belly?"

North nodded. "Soon ripples will get worse. If this is Pitch again, we will have battle on our hands like never before. We will not-"

"Strewth," Bunny interrupted, "Pennsylvania, mate!"

North turned his attention back to the map. Lights were flashing sporadically and rapidly all across the American state of Pennsylvania like North had never seen before. Neither Guardian could speak while they watched the terrible spectacle that lasted a total of…

"Twelve bloody minutes," Bunny said once it was over, shaking his head. "That's gotta be record."

"Ripples are getting longer and getting worse," North agreed. "I do not like to call meeting unless things are serious."

"After the blue we got into with Pitch a year ago I'd say this is serious."

North hummed thoughtfully. "You are right, Bunny. It is time to summon gathering of Guardians!"
