Jack finished his trek to Burgess and landed in the tree next to his first believer's, Jamie Bennett's, house.

On the ground below the children were playing with their water-pestles laughing when they got each other wet screaming on how cold the water was.

Jack was beginning to rethink this plan of coming to visit them when Sophie, Jamie's younger sister began calling his name and pointing to him.

"Jack! Jack! Jack! Jack!"

That got everyone to pause the game for a bit as they came over to have a talk with their favorite Guardian.

"Hey guys," Jack said staying in the tree placing a fake smile on his face. "Nice to see you can have fun even if I'm not here."

"Hey Jack," they cried smiling.

"You come to join in Jack?" Claude one of two twins who was only in shorts holding one of the more powerful pestles, pumping it a bit.

"Not really thanks Claude," Jack said eyeing the gun. "I just came to see how you're all doing."

"Widdle Jack!" Sophie cried laughing and pointing, clapping her hands cheerfully.

"Oh yeah and to show you this," Jack said revealing the doll a bit better.

"Wow... it looks just like you," Monty a small blonde, asthmatic, glasses wearing boy, in green swimming trunks said in wonder "Where'd ya find it?" he asked.

"I found it in the attic at the Pole," Jack explained looking at the doll again "But no one knows where it came from before that. But Baby Tooth and Wind don't like me having it."

"So why'd ya still have it?" Pippa a red haired, pink swimsuit wearing girl questioned asking if she could look at it better catching it when Jack threw it down.

"Well Before he gets shut away again, I'd thought he'd like to see everyone and get some fresh air," Jack said now hanging upside down smiling, Baby Tooth playing with Sophie.

"Basically saying you're not going to get rid of it are ya?" Cupcake a tough fourth grader asked, who was also wearing a pink swimsuit.

"Well why should I?" Jack asked putting it on a bit "I mean look at him..." all 12 eyes turned to the doll "He's just an innocent being who is lost and afraid, who doesn't know what his goal in life is, who knows how long he was all alone in that dark place in which I found him?"

"Is... Is that what you were like Jack?" Jamie, a ten year old in blue swim trunks, asked catching the tone in Jack's voice changing as he went on.

Realizing this Jack got down and re-took ownership of the doll.

"I need to be going now," Jack said still faking his smile. "See ya later."

With that, and before anyone could question him or say anything Jack was off.

"Well... That was wired," Caleb said looking to the sky. "Why'd ya think he got all like that?"

"Dunno," Jamie said shaking his head. "But I agree with Baby Tooth... There is definitely something wrong with that doll."

(*)(*)(*)

Instead of heading back to the Pole, Jack went to his pond and studied the doll again wondering again... Just Where did this thing come from.

Yawning, Jack decided to sleep on it and try and work it out in the morning.

"Goodnight," he said smiling "Little Me."

Jack was having a strange dream.

o0o

It started off with the door in the cabin. All by it's self it opened and out of it came four of Tooth's Fairies. Except they weren't Tooth's fairies. Jack couldn't tell what it was, but there was something not right about them.

*Squeak,* *Squeak*

o0o

Jack woke up wondering what it was seeing a Tooth Fairy hovering before him.

Confused and slightly worried that something was wrong, Jack leaving the doll, followed it racing against it to get to the place in question, coming up with the wooden cabin from earlier.

Confused Jack followed the fairy a bit more and saw it zoom into the living room and squeeze herself behind the door.

Rushing over and sliding on his knees in front of the door, Jack pulled it open confused as to why the fairy would lead him there, to a brick wall. Gasping when he saw a long purple tunnel and a light at the end.

"Cool..." Jack said as he began crawling down the tunnel hand tight on his staff.


AN Please note... I still need help deciding which 'Mum' the Belle Dam should pose as. Tooth or his real Mother?

Oh and sorry this has taken a while to update.
