A/N: Ok, so, it's finally here. This is the last chapter. :( I really hope you guys are liking this. I don't want it to end, but its time has come. Please, enjoy and review.

The two boys are awoken by a frantic Pooka knocking on both of their doors. "Come on, you two! Pitch has been spotted near the North Pole!" Bunnymund waits until the two boys walk out of their room to run back to North down in the Globe room.

The two look at each other and fly down to meet the other guardians.

"Jack! Jamie!" North yells. "We must come up with a plan to defeat Pitch."

Jack thinks while the other guardians immediately start spitting off ideas.

"What's your idea?" Jamie whispers into his ear after a few minutes.

"Well…it's crazy, and amateur, but it might just work." Jack turns to the guardians. Hey." Jack says, walking into the middle of the group. "Can I interrupt?" When Bunny shows signs of back-talking, Jack speaks again. "You don't have a choice." Jack says pointing a finger at Bunnymund. "Now," Jack says, addressing the entire group. "I have a plan. Does Pitch know about Jamie being a guardian?"

North thinks about it a moment. "I don't think so, no. Jack, where are you going with this?"

"Well, here's what I'm thinking." Jack says, a smile on his face as he perches on his staff.

~Jack's/Jamie's POV~ (There will be an * in front of Jamie's thoughts/words/action/etc., unless it's just completely obvious that it's Jamie's POV.)

"Ah, there you are. How's my little Jackie?" Pitch asks, facing Jack.

*Don't you dare call my Jack that name. He's mine and mine only.

"I'm just fine." Jack answers, his staff pointed at Pitch.

*Come on, Jack. You could end it right now if you wanted. Just shoot him! Shoot him for calling you Jackie.

"That's good. I see you have healed since our last little run-in."

*What run-in? What did Pitch do to my Jack?

"Yes…I have. And I'm a lot more powerful too, so if I were you, I would leave if you know what's good for you." Jack narrows his eyes, focusing on Pitch. I could end it right now if I wanted, but I better leave that to Jamie. I'm sure he's probably not too happy with Pitch calling me Jackie.

Pitch laughs. "No." He raises his hands and throws them out in front of him. Black sand bursts through the windows and doors, enveloping the guardians in darkness.

Jamie stands, balancing on the rafter, pulling an arrow from his quiver, and sets it in the bow. He pulls it back, and aims at Pitch's heart, or at least, where his heart should be. He waits for a clear shot, then releases the arrow. He watches as it hits the Nightmare King in the chest.

Pitch stands there for a moment, pain showing on his face, and he reaches up for the arrow and pulls it out. He stares at the black blood on it, then looks up, right into Jamie's eyes. The young guardian just stands there, staring down at him. Pitch looks in front of him, his black sand no longer threatening the guardians…but it did its job. The guardians lay there, not moving.

"Jack!" Jamie yells. He noticed the change in Pitch's gaze, and looks down at his friend. He flies down to him, and holds him to his chest.

Pitch laughs, a weak one, but audible to Jamie's ears none-of-the-less. "You see how easy it is for love to shatter. Young Jack should have joined me when he had the chance. You wouldn't be going through this if it weren't for him."

Jamie lays Jack down, then stands up. "You quit loving when your son passed away."

Pitch's face falls, tears forming in his eyes. "Stop it." Pitch orders.

"That's why you wanted Jack to join you, so that he could fill your son's spot."

The tears fall freely down Pitch's face. "It's true. My son…was Jack's age when he passed, and they look so much alike. I thought that maybe…just maybe, it was him. But I guess I was wrong, so I decided to take my revenge on him for sending me back into hiding last year, and for bringing back my pain." Pitch finally loses consciousness from losing so much blood, and falls forward. Jamie rushes towards him and catches him before he hits the floor, then he gently lays him down, and goes back over to Jack.

He picks him up, and holds him to his chest again. "Jack, wake up. Please." Jamie sits there, and after several minutes of pleading, begins to cry. "Jack." Jamie sobs. "Please. Come back to me."

Jamie looks to his left when North begins to stir. He sets Jack down, kisses his forehead, and goes over to North. "Hey." Jamie says, shaking North gently.

North's eyes open. "Jamie? Is that you?"

"Yeah, it's me."

"Is Pitch dead?"

"No, I don't think so, just unconscious. I shot him in the chest." Jamie says nonchalantly.

"Good job, my boy." North says, reaching up to pat Jamie's shoulder.

"What happened? In the nightmare sand, I mean?" Jamie finally asks.

"It…suffocated us. I couldn't breath, and neither could the others. We were coughing, trying to clear our lungs. Jack got the worst of it. I could hear him above everyone else. Pitch wanted his revenge." North looks into Jamie's eyes. "Where is Jack? Is he alright?"

Jamie stands up and walks over to Jack. He gathers his limp form into his arms and sits down, with him in his lap, next to North.

"Oh, my boy." North says, reaching out to stroke Jack's hair. "Jamie, check his pulse." North says suddenly.

Jamie puts his index and middle finger against Jack's neck. "I…I feel something. It's really faint, but it's there." Jamie smiles. "How do I help him?" Jamie asks North.

"I would assume CPR." Bunnymund says, showing up next to Jamie, with Tooth and Sandy right behind him. North sits up when Jamie lays Jack down to perform CPR, and watches Jamie begin.

Jamie leans down, his lips meeting Jack's, and blows air into his mouth. He sits up and pushes down onto Jack's chest five times. He lays his head on Jack's chest, checking to see if he's breathing. He puts his lips back up against Jack's and blows more air into his lungs, and then begins pushing on his chest again. Jamie checks his breathing again, then looks up at the guardians. "His pulse is getting stronger."

North leans down and checks for himself. "Good job, Jamie." North says, patting the boy on his back. "Could you take him to his room? We will be along in a minute." North says, standing up with the other guardians.

Jamie scoops Jack up, and walks towards Jack's room. He lays him onto the bed and kisses his lips. "I miss your voice already, Jack. Please, come back to me." Jamie sits in Jack's desk chair, waiting for the guardians to come up.

They show up one hour later to see if Jack has woken yet, and for North to check on Jack's pulse. When they see he hasn't, they bid Jamie good night, and go to their rooms to try and get some sleep. Jamie sits there, watching Jack, until he slips into a deep sleep.

~Jack's POV~

"Help." Jack chokes out, the black sand filling his lungs. He falls to his knees, dropping his staff, and his hands clutching his neck. "Jamie." His lungs completely fill with the black sand, trapping any air, and he falls to the ground.

~Jack's POV~

Jack slowly opens his eyes. I can breath. I'm alive. He looks around the room, and his gaze rests on Jamie, sitting in the chair at his desk. "Jamie." Jack's voice rasps, so he clears his throat and tries again. "Jamie." Jack manages to say just a little louder.

Jack watches Jamie opens his eyes, blinking to clear his vision. Jack smiles when Jamie's eyes finally finds his.

Jack tries to sit up, but Jamie rushes over and pushes him back down onto the bed. "No. North told me to make sure you rest all day. We don't want you flying around and giving your lungs too much work."

Jack looks at Jamie and pouts.

"No." Jamie states, smiling.

Jack sighs. "Fine, but if I have to stay in bed, you're staying in here with me."

"I planned on that anyway." Jamie whispers in Jack's ear, kissing his cheek.

Jamie grabs the chair and moves it closer to Jack's bed. He sits down and holds Jack's hand in his. He tells Jack about what happened to Pitch and how the guardians healed him, and how he went on his way after they made an agreement with each other.

Five minutes after they finished talking, "I'm so bored." Jack says, looking at Jamie.

"What do you want me to do?" Jamie asks.

"I don't know." Jack says. "I'm not tired at all. I feel like I could…make it snow all over the world."

"Here, I'll go get North. Let's see if he says you're well enough to move." Jamie says. He gets up and walks out the door, shutting it behind him.

Jack searches around the room for his staff, and he finds it on the other side of his bedside table. He stretches his arm out, trying to reach it, but is a long ways from it. He lowers his arm, feeling defeated. He rests for a moment, then reaches for it again. He is still about a foot away from reaching it, when the door opens. Jamie walks in, and shuts it behind him. "North will be here in a min…" He turns around and laughs when he sees Jack, hanging halfway off the bed, trying to reach his staff. "Stop over exerting yourself, I'll get it." Jamie walks over and grabs Jack's staff and helps him back into bed, but instead of giving it to him, he holds it up in the air. "But I want something in return."

They smile at each other. Jamie leans down and kisses Jack's lips, then grabs Jack's right hand, and places his staff in his open palm. He sits down on the edge of the bed next to Jack, and runs his hand down Jack's leg.

There's a knock on the door, and Jamie turns toward it, removing his hand from Jack's leg. "Come in."

"North walks in. "How are you Jack?" North asks, seeing his open eyes.

"I feel great." Jack says, nudging Jamie with his leg when North turns around to shut the door.

Jamie turns and smiles at him.

"Alright, let me have a look at you. Jamie, could you step outside for a moment?"

"Of course." Jamie says, getting up and waiting out in the hall for North's verdict.

The door opens several minutes later and North walks out.

"Well?" Jamie asks.

"He still needs to take it easy. No snow today for the people of the world, I'm afraid, but he is free to walk around. And I mean walk. No running or flying, just walking." North says, pointing at Jamie.

Jamie raises his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright. I understand." Jamie smiles at North, knowing he's just trying to protect and watch over Jack. "Thank you, North."

"You're welcome, Jamie." North begins to walk away, then turns back to Jamie. "Oh, and Jamie…"

"Yes?"

"You and Jack have my blessing."

"You know?" Jamie asks, surprised.

"Oh yes. Do you think I am blind? I can see the ring on your finger." North pats his shoulder, then walks away.

Jamie smiles, then goes back into Jack's room. He shuts the door and looks around. Where's Jack? He walks over to the bed, and only finds Jack's staff under the thin blankets. He looks around, then walks over to the bathroom and knocks on the door. "Jack, are you in there?" He waits a moment, but doesn't receive an answer. He walks in and looks around. He's just not here!

"Got you!"

Jamie screams, trying to break free of the arms around his waist, then settles down when he figures out that it's just Jack. "Jack, where were you?" Jamie asks, still in Jack's embrace.

"I was on the ceiling." Jack says casually.

"On…the ceiling?"

"Yes. I was using the walls to hold my self up." Jack says.

Jamie smiles. "That's my Jack."

"I love you." Jack whispers.

Jamie twists around in Jack's grip and kisses his lips. I love you too.
