So I'm sitting here trying to find something funny/clever to say about me being missing. Such as 'I've finally dug my way out of a hole to the center of the earth' or 'I've busted through the wall of writers block' or 'I've beaten Reality in the boxing ring of life". But no matter what I say, that doesn't excuse the fact that I have not posted IN A YEAR! All I can say is; school, social life, and procrastination. I would like to thank my older followers for being patient and for my new followers for finding something to follow in this story.

Reviews:

AyameKitsune: That is a word I haven't heard yet. Thanks!

PlaidOtaku: I know! Little!Pitch so much fun to write.

SlayterZ: Yup. Jack and little!Pitch are so cute together.

Aqua and Luna: Great to see you again! Glad you like this. I also read plot and angst filled stories and I do enjoy a break with some cutesy stuff. I haven't written any fluff yet and while this will have some stuff down the line, it's nice to just write cute and quiet moments. I am also going to do this with my sequel to 'A Gift for Jack'(which I need to finish that story so I can write the sequel).

Guest: I'll do my best.

bluefrosty27: I'm so glad that you liked this story! I have read your young!Pitch story and I loved it! I'm always so happy to have authors I like read my stories. I'll be sure to check out your other stories soon! :)

Thank you all for the favorites/follows/reviews! I hope that you enjoy 'The Guardians Meet Pitch'!

Jack woke the next morning to a slight tapping on his shoulder. He slowly opened his eyes to see Pitch sitting on the floor next to him.

"Good morning," said Jack, as he sat up and stretched, "you alright?"

"I'm hungry," mumbled Pitch.

"Well," Jack looked at the clock on his nightstand, "it is 9:30 am," Jack stood up and grabbed his staff, "Let's go and get some breakfast."

Jack held out his hand for Pitch, who stood and took hold of it. Jack led Pitch through the halls into the kitchen set aside for the Guardians.

"What would you like to eat?" asked Jack.

Pitch just looked around the kitchen then back at Jack.

"How about some cereal?"

Pitch nodded timidly. Jack guided him to the table and sat him in a chair. Then Jack made them each a bowl of cereal. They ate in silence before finishing their breakfast. Jack picked up the bowls and carried them to the sink. He took a glance at the clock, which read '10:01, June 1st'.

"June 1st…..something was happening today…." Jack stood there thinking for a bit before his face lit up with panic, "The meeting! Oh shoot!" Jack yelled, grabbing at his hair.

Pitch gasped, slid off his chair, and hid behind it. Jack looked over at him and his panic was replaced with worry.

"You okay?" asked Jack.

"You yelled," whispered Pitch.

"Oh, sorry," said Jack, "It's just I forgot about the meeting and I gotta go and,"

'What about Pitch?' thought Jack. How was he going to explain this to the others? He didn't even know what had happened.

"You need to come with me."

"Why?" asked Pitch.

"Because my friends can help me figure out what happened to you," Jack grabbed his staff and stretched out a hand for Pitch.

"Are they nice?" Pitch asked.

"Ya, and they love kids."

Pitch took Jack's hand and they went to the meeting room, the quiet way away from the workshop. Best not to have Phil worry about a child being a the North Pole.

Once outside the room, Jack pulled Pitch to the side and knelt down in front of him.

"I'm going to talk to the others first, then I'll come and get you," explained Jack, "So stay here and I'll be right back, k?"

Pitch nodded and Jack went into the meeting room.

The room was large, with a high ceiling and tall windows on the right. To the left was a fireplace encompassed by a couch and two chairs. In the center was a long table where the other Guardians were already sitting. North at the head, with Tooth and Sandy to his left and Bunny and Jack's currently empty chair to his right.

"Ah! Jack!" called out North, "Good see you made it!"

"10 minutes late," remarked Bunny.

"Ya, you see I found...something," said Jack, standing a little ways from the table, "Do you mind if I start the meeting today?"

"Why?" asked Bunny.

"Well like I said, I found something and I think we need to discuss it," answered Jack.

The Guardians looked amongst themselves, before North gave Jack a nod.

"Okay," stated Jack, "I was walking around Burgess last night and I found...um...two spirits picking on a kid and,"

"What spirits?" asked Tooth.

"Oh, it doesn't really matter," Jack waved off, "Anyways, I got them to leave and the kid alone and well, he's not exactly...um...human."

"Vhat do you mean?" inquired North.

Just as Jack opened his mouth, one of the doors opened and revealed Pitch in the doorway. He looked behind him, before running over to Jack and grabbing his leg. Phil walked into the room, rambling about something in yetish.

North listened to Phil, before the yeti left the room. North looked over at Pitch, "Jack, is zat same child you vere telling us about?"

"Yes," answered Jack, looking down at Pitch.

"Vhat is he doing in vorkshop?" asked North.

"I couldn't leave him all alone." explained Jack, "He's like us. He's a spirit."

"What?" shouted the Guardians, jumping out of their seats.

Pitch gave out a yelp and clenched Jack's leg tighter.

"He can't be a spirit." exclaimed Bunny, "He's just a kid."

"Bunny's right." agreed Tooth, "Manny would never let a child become a spirit."

"Really?" questioned Jack, "What if MIM did this himself?"

"Zat is more unlikely." said North.

'What about me?' Jack asked himself. "Well anyways, he's a spirit and I just figured that we should keep an eye on him. And make sure that he is safe." stated Jack.

"I suppose you're right." said Tooth, "It's just strange that someone so young would be a spirit." Tooth flew closer to Jack and Pitch, "He looks familiar."

Pitch stood next to Jack, while still holding on to his leg, and shyly looked at Tooth.

"Ya he does." agreed Bunny, walking over to and standing next to Tooth.

North and Sandy joined them, causing Pitch to return to hiding behind Jack. Bunny's eyes widened with recognition, before narrowing in anger.

"I know those eyes," Bunny said, gritting his teeth, "that's Pitch!"

"What?" shouted the other Guardians.

Pitch let out a whimper at the loud voices.

"Don't yell." said Jack, "You're scaring him."

Bunny looked at Jack with a dumbfounded face, "We're scaring him?"

"Jack, why did you bring Pitch to Pole?" asked North.

"I thought that we should help him with whatever happened to him." answered Jack.

"Well that shows how mad as a cut snake you are." scoffed Bunny, slowly moving closer to Jack and Pitch.

"I thought that Guardians were supposed to help children in need." Jack scorned the others.

"That ain't a child!" shouted Bunny, pointing a finger at Pitch, "That is nothing more than a shadow sneaking ratbag and I'm gonna job him for Easter!"

Bunny made to grab Pitch, but Jack held out his staff and blocked him. Pitch let out a loud cry, before running towards the windows, and hiding under a table. Bunny tried to go after him, only to have Jack continue to stand in front of him.

"Get out of my way," threatened Bunny.

"No, I will not let you hurt a kid," Jack countered.

"That ain't a child,"

"Yes he is," interrupted Jack, "Something happened to Pitch and now he is a child. He can't remember anything and even worse he woke up all alone in world where no one can see him. And when someone did see him they bullied him! He is lost and afraid and he needs help! And the fact that you four won't give him a chance is frustrating and I don't want any of you to even try to hurt him in any way! Understood."

Jack gave each one of the Guardians a good hard look, before walking towards Pitch. He stopped midway and turned back to the Guardians.

"I'm sorry that I blew up like that," Jack apologized, looking down at his feet," I just want to help this kid regardless of who he is." Jack gave them a small smile and walked over to Pitch.

And that seems like a good place to stop. I'm going to work on updating on a few of my other stories and then return to this one. Hopefully now that my life has slowed down I can work more on my writing. Please review and give me some fuel for the next chapter. Thanks for reading!
