Hello all you awesome peoples! Sorry I haven't updated in forever, but I have a freaking bus load of homework that I have to get done, so I haven't had too much free time. So here you go, hope you likey!
(P.S.)Moira Colleen: I took your advice, and I'm working on a chapter where Jack gets scared instead of Jamie. Hope that it turns out better than I think it will!
Bunny was sprawled out on a sofa by the fire place in the Pole. Easter had been a few days before, so he was dead tired and ready to relax. Suddenly, a joyful whoop shattered the serene atmosphere of the workshop. Bunny groaned loudly, grabbed one of the decorative cushions, and promptly smashed it in his face. 'One day,' he thought, 'just for one day can't that crumby little flying beanpole with a staff let me have some peace!?' He lowered the pillow a bit so that his eyes were uncovered, just in time to see Jack burst into the room, still cheering in glee. North came in after him, his booming laughter echoing in Bunny's sensitive ears. After a few seconds, North noticed Bunny glaring at him from over the cushion. "Bunny, what are you doing with pillow? Anyway, come now! I am giving Jack driving lesson in sleigh." High above them, Jack nodded vigorously in agreement. "You are coming, right Thumper?" Bunny scowled at the winter sprite. "I dunno mate, ya' know 'm not a big fan o-" He was cut short by a flying tackle from above. When he got his bearings, he looked down to see Jack, arms securely locked around the rabbit's midsection. "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!" the boy begged. Bunny was about to turn him down again, when he caught sight of Jack's eyes. For about three minutes, the two stared at each other, and the only thought that crossed Bunny's mind the entire time was 'since when were his eyes so flippin' huge?' Eventually the Pooka groaned. "ALRIGHT! Alright. I'll come with ya'." Jack whooped again, and zipped off to where the sleigh was. Bunny buried his face in his paws and collapsed back onto the sofa. North just laughed, and clapped him on the back.

After a few minutes of running around, prying Bunny off of the couch again, and an incident involving some elves, a clock, an entire vat of honey, and an unsuspecting yeti, (don't ask what happened), they were ready to go. To Bunny's dismay, there still weren't any seatbelts, so he settled for pressing himself down as far as he could go in the seats and clung to the edges of the sleigh. Up in the driver's seat, North was showing Jack how to control the reindeer. Just as Jack was about to snap the animals into motion, a yeti came charging up and stopped him, yelling like a maniac and waving his hands, showing Jack that they were clearly NOT ready. Jack nodded, dumbly, still a little too shocked by the sudden verbal assault to even consider saying no. Bunny didn't blame him. That yeti had looked ready to kill. After a few seconds, North realized that they were not moving, and looked to Jack. "Jack, what is problem? I thought that you wanted to be going in the sled, da?" The teen looked up at him, eyes still wide from the reprimand he had just received. "B- Yeah, yeah I do! It's just-"
"Just nothing now start sleigh." North deadpanned, before yelling to the reindeer. The elves ran out of the way, the bells on the tips of their outfits jingling like crazy. The yetis all backed up in a panic, even the one that was now glaring daggers at Jack. Once they had gotten past the icicles on the tunnel and launched into the open air, Bunny started to relax. Even though the ride was rougher than it was when North was driving, he was surprised at how much control Jack had, considering the fact that he had never driven for more than a few seconds before. Bunny began to rein himself in, so that he was just in "stay still" freak out mode, instead of "cling to everything like your boomerangs depend on it" freak out mode. He should have known better. "Hey, Bunny!" Jack called over his shoulder, "North says that I'm doing so well that I might as well try a few tricks now. You know, stuff like loops and high speed vertical drops and things like that. You up for it?"
- (A Few Hundred Loop-De-Loops Later)-
When they had finally pulled back into the pole, Jack looked up at North. "So, how did I do?" North was about to answer, when they heard a groan from behind them. Looking back, they saw Bunny shakily climb out of the sleigh, take two steps, and then fall flat on his face on top of some of the elves. North took a deep breath. "Jack," he began, looking down at the young Guardian, "based on performance today, and by Bunny on floor, I must say that one day, you will be greater driver than me."
Oh, and I forgot to say this in the last chapter: HAPPY EASTER!
Please review. :D
