When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight if you need help, if you need help
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe to make you well, to make you well
Jack smiled as Bunny's voice filled the hallway. He walked next to the trail of cherry blossom petals that were on the ground, not wanting to step on them. He had only just turned the corner when a stream of dreamsand floated through the air. Jack turned in a circle when the stream went around him. He stuck his hand through it, smiling when a golden dolphin jumped around him.
When enemies are at your door I'll carry you away from war
If you need help, if you need help
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering to make you well, to make you well
He halted in his steps when the dolphin stopped in front of him. Said dolphin made a motion with his flipper that Jack figured meant don't move. So, he didn't. The dolphin moved a bit further away from him, then twirled in a circle, making a picture that had Jack gasping.
The bark was rough against Jack's back, and he was pretty sure he was rubbing his eyes raw. He just wanted to fall asleep and never wake up ever again. It would be better than this. Anything, would be better than this. After 156 years of searching for someone to touch him, or say something to him, or just look at him even! Everywhere he went, no one. No one, would see him.
"You alrigh' kid?" An Australian voice asked, causing Jack to jump high in the air, smacking the top of his head onto a branch that was just above him. He landed back on the dirt with a soft thump, then he rolled on his side and clutched the top of his head, a grimace of pain on his face. He moaned, and the large man-rabbit came into his vision, albeit a bit blurry. "Whoa, whoa, hey there. I ain't gonna hurt cha." He said, hopping slowly closer to Jack. Jack didn't know what else to do but stare up at this huge creature that seemed to be talking to him. But, wait. That meant..."You-You can see m-me?" Jack said quietly, stuttering on a few words.
The rabbit looked shocked, and he tilted his head. "O' Course I can see- Ah, you must be the new spirit." He said, slowly lowering to his haunches. Jack rolled his eyes, "Not exactly new if you ask me." He said. The bunny man looked at him for a long while, "What's your name, kid?" He asked. "Jack Frost." He said with no hesitation, "You?" He asked.
"Call me Bunny."
Jack grinned as the golden sand dissipated. That day was so long ago. It was when Jack was still a new spirit, still new with his powers and all. He had been so shocked when Bunny came up to him. The dolphin nudged his arm, taking him out of his thoughts. The dolphin swam forward, and Jack followed.
Give me reasons to believe
That you would do the same for me.
Jack broke out into a small jog as the dolphin sped up a bit and turned the corner. Finally catching up, the dolphin twirled in the air and another memory started, making Jack's eyes widen.
"Jack? What the-?" Bunny yelled, looking at the white blanket that covered the ground. Jack smiled big, not detecting the anger right away, "Isn't it great?" He questioned, "The snow will bring out the colors of the eggs!" He said, the smile getting bigger. Bunny tried to contain his anger, but this was too much.
Easter is his holiday. He was the commander. He was in charge. He didn't call for snow, and now it was ruined! The kids would never be able to find the eggs! Then they would stop believing in him. This was all Jack's fault. He growled low in his throat. "You've ruined Easter!"
"Easter is about having fun with your family, Jack." Bunny began, his voice slowly getting louder. "No one will want to come out here with all this blasted snow on the ground! Snow kills things, Jack. Spring is about new life, and Easter blossoms that idea!" Bunny yelled. "I can't believe you! Get outta' my sight!"
As Bunny ranted, tears slowly started to form in Jack's eyes. His staff was hanging limply in his hand, the butt of said staff against the dirt. His head was hanging, low and upset. He'd been spending so much time with Bunny, and they've been have such good times with each other. Jack thought they were becoming friends.
Apparently he was wrong. When Bunny turned around, still ranting, throwing his paws in he air. Jack flew off, silently calling wind to take him away.
One tear slipped out of Jack's eye. It froze on his cheek, fell, then shattered on the ground. He remembers that day a little too well. That was the first time Bunny has yelled at him. Well, the first time anyone had yelled at him. He was so overwhelmed he ran. When Bunny reappeared in that alley trying to get him back to the pole to help with Pitch those many years later without so much as a word, Bunny made it seem like they were on bad term still, but Jack didn't mind. He had forgiven Bunny for yelling at him, but it didn't seem like Bunny was over yet.
Then after Pitch, Bunny seemed to forgive him and the two started growing closer than ever, then they began dating. Jack never thought that would happen, but it did. Jack looked up with Bunny's voice cut through his thoughts
And I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on
I'll love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I'll love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
His voice was surrounded by drums and guitar. The combination was perfect. The dolphin swam around his face, then did another twirl in the air. Golden sand fell from the dolphin as it danced through the hall. It went further down and persuaded Jack to follow, which he did.
