Tomorrow came and went and Sandy learned another detail about Maya: she loved to make up her own creatures. When he visited her he saw her drawing all sorts of creatures he had never seen before. Maya introduced him to each of her creatures. She then read one of her favorite books to him.

The next day Sandy headed for the North Pole. He already like Maya a lot and wanted her to meet the other Guardians. He wanted her to have more friends. He went to North and made images of a snowflake, a bunny, and a fairy.

"Oh, you want me to contact other Guardians?" North said.

Sandy nodded.

"Anything wrong?"

Sandy shook his head. Instead he just smiled.

"Ah, good news then. Very well." North turned on the northern lights.

The other Guardians showed up.

"So what's up?" Jack asked.

"Sandy has good news for us." North said.

"I hope it's worth the trip, I still have loads of eggs to paint." Bunnymund frowned.

"Ha, I have presents to deliver sooner and you don't see me complaining." North smirked.

"Not now guys, come on." Tooth interrupted before Bunnymund could retort.

"So what's the good news mate?" Bunnymund asked, deciding to listen to Tooth rather than argue some more.

Sandy created a basic human image.

"You met a human?" Jack guessed.

Sandy nodded and altered the human image so that the image being an woman was obvious.

"Hold the- An adult human?" Bunnymund was surprised.

"What is she like?" Tooth asked.

Sandy frowned, flew away, and came back with a dictionary. He started leafing through it.

"What is he doing?" Jack asked.

"He probably came across word he couldn't turn into image." North guessed.

Sandy nodded and continued leafing until he found the word he was looking for. He then smiled and pointed at it. Tooth flew over to read it.

"Imaginative." She read. "Really?"

Sandy nodded and made the image 22 above his head.

"Wait, are you saying that despite being an adult she has a strong imagination?" Bunnymund guessed.

Sandy nodded and made the image of a kid.

"A kid's imagination?" Bunnymund was surprised again.

Sandy nodded and went back to leafing through the dictionary until he found the next word he needed. He then pointed at all of them and at the word.

"Belief." Tooth read. "Are you saying she believes in all of us?"

Sandy nodded. Everyone stared at him with their mouths open. Sandy then made an image of an adult woman and them with an arrow between them. The arrow was pointing to the Guardians.

"Whoa, you want to introduce her to us?" Jack realized.

Sandy made a check mark image.

"Have you lost parts of your mind in another part of the world?" Bunnymund cried. "You can't bring a human to our realms!"

"Jamie and Sophie come here a lot you know." Jack reminded him.

"They're kids, that's different! She's an adult!"

"Well I'm an adult and I used to be a human." Jack shrugged. "Personally I'd like to meet her, after all Sandy obviously likes her."

"Your case was different, you lost your humanity before you met us!" Bunnymund retorted.

"Excuse me?" Jack snapped, insulted. "I may be mischievous but I'm not heartless!"

"Not that kind of humanity, I meant...uh, what's the term I'm looking for?" Bunnymund looked around.

"Mortality?" Tooth guessed.

"Thank you, yes that."

Jack relaxed.

"Come on Bunny, Sandy is oldest of us and knows more." North pointed out. "If he trusts this woman then we should too."

"Knows more?" Bunnymund scoffed. "He only sees humans when they're asleep! Not counting when we were battling Pitch but that was different, those were kids."

"Uh, technically I'm the only one here who sees humans awake and take it from me: most of them can be trusted." Jack said. "And not just kids either, I've seen a lot of kind adults who care about others and wouldn't harm anything other than a fly."

"Besides, Sandy must've met her while she was awake, meaning he got to know her very well." Tooth added. "Otherwise he wouldn't have gotten the idea in the first place."

"Fine," Bunnymund groaned. "But don't bring her to my warren until I get to know her."

Rosanna suddenly flew in.

"*Phew* Hi guys, sorry I'm late. A brother and sister had a nasty argument and it took a while to get them to remember how much they care about each other." She said. "So what'd I miss?"

"Sandy has a new friend, a woman." Jack said.

"No way, she could see him?" Rosanna was surprised.

"And rest of us apparently, she still believes in us." North said. "Except maybe you since you're still new."

"Yeah, I probably won't get any believers for a long time." Rosanna shrugged. "It's cool though, as long as I have Jack I don't care. But I'd still like to meet...uh, what's her name?"

Sandy got a piece of paper and a pen from nearby and wrote it. Tooth was still near him so she read it.

"Maya." Tooth smiled. "That's a pretty name."

"Okay, I'd still like to meet Maya." Rosanna said.

"You will, Sandy wants to bring her here to meet all of us." Tooth said.

"Neat-" Rosanna saw Bunnymund's expression. "Don't tell me, Bunny's not happy about it."

"You know how I am about humans." Bunnymund shrugged.

"Yeah, Jack and I both know." Rosanna rolled her eyes. "Listen, if you guys can handle the Boogeyman then a human is no big deal right?'

"She has point." North agreed.

"Well, she's still not allowed in my warren until I get to know her." Bunnymund was stubborn.

Sandy just shrugged as if to say 'fair enough'.

The next weekend, Sandy took Maya out in his sand plane. It was done at night so that people wouldn't freak out about Maya being in midair.

"So where are we going?" Maya asked.

Sandy made images of Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy.

"We're going to meet the others?" Maya gasped happily before hugging him. "Sandy, you're the best."

Sandy just blushed slightly and started the plane. They flew to the North Pole.

"I'm in the North Pole." Maya said giddily. "I'm in the North Pole. This is beyond awesome!"

Sandy grinned and led her inside.

"Whoa, yetis?" Maya gasped. "I've read about them...no idea they built the toys though. What about the elves?"

"They test the toys and other odd jobs." North said. "We just let them believe that they build the toys."

"Santa Claus!" Maya gasped. "Oh this is just getting better and better."

"So you're Maya, Sandy told us a little about you." North smiled. "You know me as Santa Claus but my real name is North. The others will be here soon."

Sure enough the other Guardians arrived.

"The Easter Bunny!" Maya gasped. "Whoa, you're huge."

"Name's Bunnymund, and I know martial arts so you'd better be careful." Bunnymund frowned.

Sandy frowned back.

"Bunny, come on, be nice." North said sternly.

"Don't mind him." Jack chuckled, having just arrived. "Kangaroo here is way overprotective."

"Bunny! And someone has to balance out your carelessness." Bunnymund retorted.

Maya giggled.

"They don't get along do they?" She guessed knowingly.

"One represents spring and the other represents winter, you do the math." Tooth chuckled, flying in. "Okay girls, remember, ten incisors in Texas and fourteen molars in Wyoming and Montana."

Tooth's helpers saluted and flew away.

"Sorry about that, working every single night is no picnic." Tooth shrugged. "But it's worth it."

"Wow the Tooth Fairy...you're bigger than I expected." Maya remarked.

"Yeah, part human." Tooth chuckled. "My other fairies are closer to the size you probably imagined me as. My full name is Toothiana but you can just call me Tooth. In case you haven't guessed the guy with the white hair and staff is Jack Frost."

"Figured as much." Maya nodded.

"Gotta admit, it's cool meeting an adult who can see me." Jack remarked. "Up until about two years ago no one believed in me."

"Oh, that must've been really lonely." Maya said empathetically.

"Yeah, it was." Jack admitted.

"I know how you feel, until I met Sandy I was pretty much alone too." Maya said sadly. "I don't have any friends except for him."

"We're your friends too." Tooth smiled. "Though it'll take a while for Bunny to warm up to you."

"It's okay." Maya smiled. "I'm just glad to finally meet all of you."

"Oh, Maya my sister Rosanna is here now." Jack said suddenly said upon seeing a flash of pink. "She's the Guardian of Family Love."

Maya instantly saw Rosanna, who had just arrived.

"Man, I hate being late." Rosanna frowned. "Gotta consider getting assistants like Tooth's fairies. So this is Maya, it's really nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too." Maya smiled. "But, uh, why are you a kid?"

"Heh, bit of a long story." Jack chuckled.

"I'd still love to hear it, I love stories." Maya said.

So, they told her the story. She was surprised by the whole thing but glad that everything worked out for the best.

Maya hung out with them for many hours until finally she had to return to the college. North, Tooth, Jack, and Rosanna liked her a lot. Bunnymund didn't want to admit it yet but he liked her too.

Days passed as Maya and Sandy hung out. Sometimes she hung out with the other Guardians too, mostly Jack. Eventually Bunnymund even warmed up to her enough to let her visit his warren. She also got to visit Sandy's island and Tooth's palace and was amazed by all three places. Not too much later Maya met Jamie and Sophie, and became good friends with them. She couldn't visit them all the time but they did meet up in the Guardian's homes a few times, including the area around Jack's pond.
