N/A: Okay, so due to popular demand, Pitch will be entering the story. However, it will not happen in this chapter. Sorry! But don't worry I am planning it! Oh, and Sorry for any spelling errors. I am just done with Spell Check. All it does is mark out the things that Bunny and North say anyways so yeah I'm not using it again.

Chapter 9
The Next Day:
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when Tooth called the group into the living room. Jack had already been put in bed for a nap. The Guardians filed into the room before collapsing onto the couch. Tooth stood in front of them, a manila folder clutched tightly to her chest.
"Alright, Shelia, wants this all about. I prefer to rest when Jack's takin' a nap. Manny knows how much energy that kid has," Bunnymund. North chuckled and Sandy nodded in agreement.
"Okay, so I've been working on this all night but I finally got the details complete. Yesterday, I was talking to Pippa. She said there's a vacation for two weeks. We really don't know why since it's only the end of September but Burgess is just weird like that. You know she also offered to help take care of Jack too? But that's beside the point. Anyway, I figured since Jack's stuck like this we may as well enjoy it while it lasts. We really don't know when he gonna turn back. I mean he could turn back next week-"
"Tooth, you are rambling again, what iz the point? Why did you call us?" North interrupted.
"Oh, right, sorry. Well, I thought that we could all take two weeks with the kids and Jack and go to…" she said, "Walt Disney World!"
"Oh, this is not gonna end well, mate," Bunny said to North.
"No, no I planned everything. I've got us plane tickets, we'll have to get a ride down to the airport though, and hotel rooms, tickets for the park, American money…"
"Tooth, aren't you forgetting something. Children will recognize us and adults can't see us. We can't go on any rides or stay in hotel rooms or plane seats," Bunny said. Tooth let out a snort.
"Well, duh! That's why last night I went through North's spell books. I found a spell that will turn us human and it will make us visible to everyone. Of course our power will be reduced a little bit but the spell can be taken off. It's not permanent. So when night time comes, we take the spell off Sandy and I so we can do our job and then put it on after," Tooth said a smirk forming on her face.
"Geez, you really did think 'bout this one, eh? Alright, so we pack our bags and travel to Burgess. But then what? The kid's parents aren't just gonna let 'em go to Florida by themselves," Bunny said.
"Leave it to me," Tooth said.
Jamie and the rest of the kids were gathered around the four Guardians. Jack and Sophie were sitting on the ground off to the side. Sophie had brought her own Easter bunny doll and the two children were playing. Five suitcases were thrown on the ground behind the Guardians.
"So, wait, we are all going to go to Disney World with you guys? How exactly are we going to tell our parents that the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause are taking us to Florida?" Pippa asked.
"And how are we going to go places? No one can see you guys?" Jamie said.
"Those are both very good questions. First however… North do you have the spell book?" Tooth asked. North rummaged through the carryon bag before pulling out a large brown book with frayed edges and distinct smell of mold, handing it over to Tooth. "Hmm, let's see….Toads –no, no we don't need flowers, oh here it is!" She handed the book over to North.
"Hmm, how have I not zeen this before? Oh well. Let's begin shall we?"
"Reversus Revolvus, Returnus Resolvus, Alpha Omega, Ofus Adofus!
Mildred Hubble, Transmutatae, Corpus Vitae, Terracotta!"
The children watched in fascination as the four Guardians were surrounded by a bright white light. They covered their eyes as the light started to burn. As the light faded, the children looked back to see four humans standing there. North…really hadn't changed much. He became shorter and lankier in comparison but he was still very tall. His white hair and beard were replaced by shorter dark brown hair, a moustache and a goatee. His cloths had shrunk to fit his size. Sandy was still rather short not growing an inch. He had the same golden blonde hair and eyes but without the effect of the dream sand. His robes had been replaced with cotton instead of sand. Bunnymund had changed remarkably. He was tall, taller than North and still 6'1", with the same emerald eyes but black hair was falling into his face at a jagged angle. The once Pooka was wearing a pair of jeans and grey shirt. Where those came from no one knew but appreciated all the same. His familiar strap and boomerangs still present. Last was Tooth. The feathers on her head were replaced with long flowing blonde hair with slight blue and green highlights hidden underneath. She was wearing a dress made with the familiar blue and green of her feathers. The children stared in wonder.
"Hmm, this turned out better than I thought it would," Tooth said. This moment however was interrupted as a small voice called out.
"Mommy?" Jack said looking up at the Guardians.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot! I forgot about Jack! Shoot!" Tooth said under breath. She quickly walked over to the confused toddler, picking him up. "Yeah, bud, it's me. Mommy just had to do a bit of…transforming, yeah. It's still me sweetie."
"Oh, okay!" Jack said. The confused expression disappearing before the boy snuggled into the embrace.
"So about our parents…" Jamie asked
"And who did you say you were again?" Mrs. Bennet asked.
"I'm Tatiana North. The man with the brown hair over there," Tooth said pointing to North who was chasing Claude and Caleb, "is my husband. North? Could you come over here for a second please?"
North walked over before sticking out a hand to Mr. Bennet, "I'm Nicholas North, pleased to meet you."
"So, why are taking our children on this vacation?" Mr. Bennet asked.
"Well, we thought it would be a good idea. Jack always loves playing with the kids. They're all practically our adopted children by the amount of time they come over our house," Tooth explained.
"Who is Jack? I've always heard Jack this and Jack that from Jamie but I've never actually met him before," Jamie's mom said.
"Oh, right of course. Jack, sweetie, come here for a second," Tooth called. The little white haired toddler came running over. Tooth bent down and picked him before settling him on her waste. "This is my adopted son."
Jack smiled at the two adults, "My name's Jack Fwost." The two parents chuckled and Mr. Bennet reached out to ruffle Jack's hair making the toddler giggle. Tooth set the little boy on the ground, pushing him in Jamie's direction. North followed after the toddler to help Bunny and Sandy capture the rest of the children. The two were really bad at tag.
"Who are the other two men though?" Claude's mother asked. The rest of the parents had finally been brought up to speed after arriving.
"Oh, well the blonde man is my brother Sanderson and the other man is my husband and I's best friend from our childhood, his name is Aster but everyone just calls him Bunny. We invited them as well," Tooth asked.
Eventually all of the parents agreed and set about packing their children's bags. It was around four o'clock. The Guardians had set out back to the North Pole promising the kids they would be back at seven in the morning at they had all better be ready and waiting outside the Bennet house hold.
Jamie yawned as he sat on the side walk. Caleb and Claude had already fallen asleep. Pippa was blinking her eyes attempting to stay awake. Cupcake was miraculously still awake but Monty would soon follow the twin's example. It was at that time, that two vans drove down the street. North was sitting in the driver's seat with Tooth in the passenger's. Bunny was driving the other car. The children split up. Jamie, Pippa, and Sophie got into the first van with Tooth and North. They opened the door climbing in. Jack was in the middle, passed out in a car seat. Pippa carried a sleeping Sophie securing her in the car seat in the back, before taking the seat next to her. Jamie sat down next to Jack. He had to smother his hands into his mouth to avoid laughing. It was amusing to see your once fourteen year old immortal friend turned four year old sucking his thumb and gripping a stuffed rabbit. It was amusing and it was too cute. Meanwhile Cupcake, Monty, Caleb and Claude climbed into the other van. It was an hour drive to the airport and another hour to get through check in and security. The children trudged through it all. Jack had woken up when they had arrived at the airport but Sophie was still asleep. Tooth had picked the blonde girl up and carried her through check in and security. Bunny and Sandy had made sure to get the other kids and hand off the bags at check in. North still had his carryon bag, while each individual child had their own backpack with toys to keep them interested for the two hour flight.
After they had made it through security did Jamie finally realize how slow Jack was moving glancing down at the toddler he gave out a light chuckle. Jack was still holding his hand the other arm however was hanging to his side, the stuffed rabbit inches from being dragged across the ground. Jack eyes were drooping as well. Jamie let out a sigh before handing his backpack to Pippa, asking if she could carry it. She looked at him confused for a moment before nodding and taking it. Jamie bent down and picked Jack up, resting the toddler on his hip. Immediately Jack's head slumped onto Jamie's shoulder, one hand coming up to suck his thumb and the other letting the stuffed animal drop to the ground as Jack's hand gripped Jamie's shirt. Cupcake picked the toy up as they continued walking.
North glanced back at the kids before letting a proud content smile cross his face at the sight of Jamie carrying Jack. The group eventually made it to the boarding dock on time. Tooth handed the tickets to the attendant as she attempted to balance Sophie and look through the purple pocket book slung around her shoulders. Entering the plane, the kids all sat down. Jamie placed Jack in the window seat before taking the seat next to him. The seats were two per an aisle so Pippa and Cupcake took the row adjacent to the pair. North and Tooth was sitting in front of them. Caleb and Claude taking the seats behind Cupcake and Pippa. Bunny and Sandy sitting in front of the two girls while Sophie was placed next to Monty behind Jack and Jamie. The seat belt sign started blinking overhead. Jamie reached over and buckled Jack's before doing his own. He could hear Monty cursing behind him as he tried buckling Sophie's. Eventually a flight attendant took pity on the boy and helped buckle the blonde girl in as Monty buckled his own. As the plane took off, Jamie glanced around him.
This was going to be the best vacation ever. Oh, if only he knew.
Also I have no idea how long it would take to get from Burges to Orlando so it was just a guess.
