A/N: This chapter is more of a mash of our two writings, and it was so much fun to get together and just write whatever we came up with using the script, throwing around a bunch of jokes. We had a blast, so hope you guys enjoy this chapter! And look, we updated earlier than usual, by a lot.

Something Fun and Creative

Chapter 6

The next thing Raven knows, she lands on a hard surface, tumbling out of the brown burlap bag and bumping into another Spirit from who knows where. Eww. She looks around and is greeted by the sour gaze of Tooth.

Behind her, Jack is also thrust out of a bag similar to that of the Halloween Spirit's and almost topples headfirst into a couple of unsuspecting elves.

Tooth sees Jack and starts obsessing over his teeth. Raven feels bad for him, but at the same time she is glad that the Fairy is gone. After watching for a minute she looks down and sees Bunny looking through her sketches. Having never let anyone even touch the book before, she squeaks in surprise and rips it from the oversized rabbit's hands, glaring at him.

Having previously been occupied by a yeti, North turns around, and for the first time formally (ok, very informally) greets the two kidnapees. Clearing his throat, he starts out, "There they are! Jack Frost and Raven Hollow!"

Jack blurted out, "You've got to be kidding me!" and Raven just stares at him, dumbfounded.

A few yetis grab the unfortunate duo and pile them onto a platform. North sarcastically remarks, "I hope the yetis treated you well."

"Oh yeah, we love being shoved in sacks and tossed through magic portals," Jack irritatedly speaks for both himself and the Halloween Spirit, finally somewhat gaining his composure. Raven and Jack were still tripping over each other in attempts to stand up.

Not understanding that Jack wasn't serious, North continues, "Oh, good! That was my idea! Jack, you know Bunny, obviously, and Raven, you know Tooth."

"Obviously," both newcomers repeat in sync, trying their best not to grimace.

With Bunny standing to the side and grumbling over his crossed arms, Jack notices the Mini Tooth Fairies hovering next to him. Before anyone has the chance to say anything else, the Tooth Fairy herself glides toward him, sticking her hands back in his mouth to examine his teeth some more. Ewww. Bunny once again tries to look at sketches from Raven's book. Creepy. While they are gawking and the Mini Teeth are swooning, North notices Sandy is asleep, so he wakes him up. How rude.

As Sandy wakes up, Jack and Raven are frantically trying to ask what in the world is going on! Sandy uses his Dreamsand to expertly communicate with them. Unfortunately, his kindness is met with vacant stares.

Jack stood from a crouching position in front of Sandy, after trying to understand his fast-moving shapes, "That's not really helping. But thanks, little man."

Raven cuts him off, trying to get some answers, albeit a bit agitatedly, "We musta done something really bad to get you four together." Finally able to pry her sketchbook back away from Bunny's curious hands (again), she turned to North and asked while slightly snickering but also somewhat serious, "Are we on the naughty list?"

North chuckles, "On naughty list?"

Tooth doesn't let him finish and sneers at Raven, "You hold the record."

North glares at Tooth as if to tell her to shut up and leave it be, then moves on, "But no matter. We overlook. Now we are wiping clean the slate."

"How come?" Jack takes over for Raven's interrogation.

"Ah, good question," Bunny adds in, more to North than anyone else.

Ignoring the Easter Bunny, North answers, "How come? I tell you how come! Because now… you are Guardians!"

And with that, the ceremony commences to the confusion of the new recruits. There were ceremonial torches lit, elves lept into columns, homemade banners dropped down with a woosh, and the perplexed pair were adorned with decorations. Well, almost. In the chaos, the two of them spastically tried to rid themselves of the leighs the Mini Teeth hung on their necks, and ribbons falling around them.

"What in the," trumpet blasts, "doing? Get," drum noises, "off!" It was impossible to hear the Winter Spirit over the cacophony produced by the elves and yetis.

"THIS IS THE BEST PART!" North bellows, still barely heard.

The marching band glides towards them, and two yetis each place Raven and Jack on a ceremonially designated stand. Two pairs of beautiful, pointy, uncomfortable boots were almost forced onto their unsuspecting feet; neon orange for the female Spirit and noxious blue for the male. Raven screeched, and Jack quickly kicks them away. Their confusion escalates.

North lumbers over to the confused duo, and a yeti offers him an old, dusty book which, judging by its appearance, has not been opened in more than a few centuries. The old Russian blows off the book, sending a thick cloud of dust into everyone's eyes, and open to a bookmarked page. He clears his throat proudly while Raven observes her surroundings to find an escape. Mini Teeth are fluttering everywhere looking for new orders, but Tooth is just glaring at Raven with a scowl. Bunny is looking apathetic, and Sandy is smiling.

In the middle of her searching, Raven glances at Jack, who is clenching his jaw, and almost immediately knows what he's about to do. Taking her own precautions, the Halloween Spirit quickly hops on her broom handle and rises a couple feet in the air to avoid the blast of frost and wind the Winter Spirit sends out in agitation with a slam of his staff, surprising everyone else in the room.

"What makes you think I want to be a guardian?" the angry man bellows.

"You mean we," the annoyed female adds, sending a small glare at her fellow non-Guardian.

"Of course you two do. Cue music!" Music starts at North's command. Elves start blaring music and the celebration begins again.

"NO! NO MUSIC!" Jack screams, barely heard as Raven crosses her arms.

The elf band stops at their own pace, resulting in a sound similar to a record screeching to a halt. North is obviously annoyed.

"Look… this is all very flattering, but…" Jack gets his thoughts together to explain, "you don't want us. You're all hard work and deadlines, I'm snowballs and fun times, and she's…" he trails off to look at Raven for her own explanation, knowing she must have one too.

Taking the hint, she speaks her part, "and I'm candy and procrastination."

"We're not guardians," Jack finishes for them both.

Tooth looks at Jack and tries to explain what they actually do, using the globe behind them as a prop. Meanwhile, Bunny tries to explain to Raven how the candy is a good thing, and they can work with the procrastination. He too points at the globe behind them and says, "Each of these lights is a child." Tooth cuts in and explains, "A child who believes." Then North adds, "Good or bad, naughty or nice, we protect them." And as a postscript, "Tooth, fingers out of mouth."

"Oh, sorry. They're so beautiful." Tooth responds. Simultaneously, Bunny quickly closes Raven's sketchpad and looks around to make sure no one was watching. He makes eye contact with Sandy and motions for him to stay quiet about the whole matter. Sandy just shakes his head disappointedly, a barely noticeable smile present on his face.

North continues, "Ok, no more wishy washy. Pitch is out there doing… who knows what!"

"You mean the Boogyman?" Jack interrupts, scoffing.

"Yes! When Pitch threatens us, he threatens them as well," North motions toward the lights on the globe.

"All the more reason to pick someone more qualified," Raven thinks to herself outloud. She didn't realize everyone else had heard her admission of self-doubt.

Not picking up on her vocal cues, Tooth sarcastically scowls, "Pick? You think we pick? No, you were chosen like we were all chosen. By the Man in the Moon." She gasps, not grasping how rude she sounded until it was too late to take the words back. Sandy glares at her.

Almost simultaneously, Jack and Raven gasp, take a step back, and exclaim, "Who?"

"Last night… he chose you two." North explains.

"Maybe," Bunny blurts. Tooth winces, glad she decided not to say any other critical comments.

"The Man in the Moon, he talks to you?" Jack questions, feeling dejected that he might not be worthy enough for the "Big Guy" to confide in. He looks up at the moon through the skylight as it shines down.

North continues, "You see, you cannot say no. It is destiny."

This time Raven chimes in, "But… what does it mean?" And Jack, obviously frustrated exclaims, "And why didn't he just tell us that himself?"

Coming to grips with the reality of this new information he moans, "After 300 years this is his answer? To spend eternity with you guys cooped up in some, some hideout thinking of, of… of new ways to bribe kids? No no, that's not for me. No offence."

"How is that not offensive?" Bunny queried. It almost mirrored Raven's thoughts who meant it a bit more jokingly. But as the angry Spirit turned to leave, she saw her chance to distance herself from the Tooth Fairy, and started to follow, leaving the rest of the Guardians absolutely stunned.

Not seeing Raven's decision, Bunny voices his relief to the remaining Guardians, saying, "You know what I think? I think we just dodged a bullet. I mean, what's this clown know about bringing joy to children anyway?"

"Uhh, ever heard of a snow day? I know it's no hard boiled egg, but kids like what I do," Jack responds.

The bunny plays his trump card, "But none of 'em believe in you," he gets uncomfortably close to the Winter Spirit who stands his ground, "Do they? You see, you're invisible mate. It's like you don't even exist."

Tooth, trying not to burn any more bridges, reprimands the bunny.

"No, the kangaroo's right," Jack jabbs. He hides his hurt feelings behind a mask of insults.

"The, the what?" The kangaroo exclaims, "-what'd you call me? I'm not a kangaroo mate"

"Oh. And this whole time I thought you were," Jack continues, not wanting to break the facade, "If you're not a kangaroo, what are you?"

"I'm a bunny," the not kangaroo glowers, "The. Easter. Bunny. People believe in me."

Jack grins. Bunny was playing defence now. He had won. Sandy feels the tension in the air, so he motions to North to stop the charade.

North motions to Jack, "Walk with me." After one last victory glance to Bunny, he strides toward the Russian.

Seeing Raven, he tells her to follow as well. Her face is sheet white with an expression as if to say, "How in the world have we gotten to this?"

She reluctantly follows, slinking over to the Russian, afraid of what will come next.

A/N: So next chapter will be up sometime, we'll start it whenever we get the chance, and the rest of the story will most likely be more of this type of writing. That is good for you, because it speeds up the writing process.

See you later!
