"Hallo, come on, don't be a wimp." "I have a cold." "Excuses, excuses." "It's your fault." "Actually, you were the one who fainted for no reason and-" "Stop
flirting and get in the sleigh!" Bunny ordered, causing both young spirits to flush a deep pink. "W-we're not flirting!" Hallo protested. Bunnymund rolled his
eyes. "Sure. Get in the sleigh you two." Jack stepped forward. "If we're going in the sleigh, you are too." Bunny barked out a laugh. "Not on your nelly. I'm
taking my tunnels!" Bunny replied. "But we don't know exactly where we're going! We'll end up in two different places!" Jack retorted. Bunny's nose twitched in
annoyance. "You've got a point mate. North!" He called. North, Tooth, and Sandy paused. "What is it, Bunny?" North asked. Bunny gestured to Jack.
"Frostbite's got a point. If I'm taking my tunnels and you all are taking the sleigh, then we'll end up on opposite sides of Scotland." North shrugged. "Then we
take the sleigh. Simple." He began walking again. Bunny smirked and raised his foot. Jack noticed this and grabbed Hallo. "Hold on." He said. Hallo stared at
him. "What? Why?" Bunny's foot tapped the ground a few times and three holes opened up in the floor. North fell and Sandy and Tooth flew after him. Bunny
hopped in expertly and Hallo screamed. Right. In. Jack's. Ear. He winced and clapped a hand over her mouth until she quieted down. Hallo could see Arlyn
running through the tunnels behind them like it was nothing. Jack and Hallo tumbled into the wall and the two teens were fell apart. "Jack!" Hallo yelped. She
was ripped away from him and went down ahead of him. After another moment of falling, she was thrown out of the tunnel, Jack in tow. The boy crashed into
her and landed heavily on top of the poor girl. The two of them went bright red, due to the fact that they're noses were brushing. Hallo's nose became
increasingly cold and she jerked away. Jack scrambled off of her, blushing. "S-s-sorry, Hallo!" He apologised. Hallo sat up, rubbing her slightly upturned nose.
"I-it's okay... it's my fault, I wasn't holding on properly." Jack shook his head. "Naw, it's Bunny's fault for opening the tunnels so suddenly." Hallo shrugged and
stood up, brushing moss off her green skirt before holding out her hand to help Jack up. He took her hand and allowed himself to be pulled to his feet. He
kicked his staff up into the air and caught it. He looked around. They were alone. He stamped his foot. "Dammit! Stupid Kangaroo, he should've just given in
and taken the sleigh." Hallo couldn't help but agree with the white haired boy. She grabbed his hand again and began to drag him deeper into the forest. Jack
cried out in surprise, not expecting the action. "Hallo, where are you-" Jack tried to ask, but Hallo cut him off. "I know where we are. There are some caves I
want to check out." They walked in silence, Arlyn loping along behind them. Jack had been taking in the surroundings, but when Hallo suddenly stopped, he
slammed into her. "Hallo, watch it..." He muttered. "Sh! We're here." Hallo whispered. Jack looked up and his eyes went wide. In front of them was a huge
cave, towering over the two of them. It's stone walls were slick with water and moss grew on the entrance. "Oh, wow..." Jack said in an awed voice. Hallo let
go of his hand and walked towards the cave. Jack began to follow, but the red head stopped and looked back at him. "Jack, you stay here and wait for the
others. Please." Her voice was knit with tension, so Jack held back as Hallo entered the cave, Arlyn brushing her side. Jack watched as the gloom swallowed
them whole.
Sorry 'bout the short chapter. I have a little writers block.
