Ok so a lot of people have been asking when I was going to write Jack's death. Sorry guys, but you'll have to wait a bit longer… I don't know if you guys caught on to my hint, but my plan is to have him die at 16, right now he's like 13…. No worries! I have plans for this story! Again, thanks for everyone's wonderful reviews! And now for the tenth installment!

When the fog had lifted the guardians found themselves in a field surrounded by snow. Winter had come once again to Burgess and a massive blizzard raged around them. In the distance they saw a shrouded figure covered from head to foot in clothes, trudging head long into the winter wind.

Upon getting closer, the guardians could just make out Jack under all the mismatched winter clothing walking towards the cabin.

"Hi Honey! How was work?" asked his mother cheerfully as he walked in the door, tossing off his coat, hat, gloves, scarf, and boots promptly flopping on the bench. The teen had smudges of soot all over his face and hands.

"It was great! Gwyn and I learned how to work with cast iron!" said Jack cheerfully picking through his pockets and pulling out a loose coin, handing it to her mother.

"Jack, I don't understand. You work so hard but you give every cent to me or Pippa. What about you? Don't you want anything special son?" said Sarah worriedly looking at her son. "You're too good to us, all you do is make sure that Pippa is having fun, and make sure that we have enough money to live comfortably. Jack I want you to have fun too."

Jack smirked at his mother, "mom that is fun to me. Making Pippa and her friends happy, that's when I have fun. Speaking of which where is she?" asked Jack looking around the room

"She's here, she should be down in three, two, one…-"

"JACK! YOU'RE HOME!" shouted the young girl gleefully, bounding down the ladder and giving her brother a big hug smiling widely at the exhausted boy who had sat up holding her on his knee. "Jack, look! I lost a tooth!" she said excitedly pointing to the new gap in her mouth.

Jack laughed his perfect laugh and grinned at her "That you did! Do you still have your tooth?" she nodded "Good! Put it under your pillow for the tooth fairy." Pippa just stared at him obviously confused. (Toothiana groaned in the background)

"Ok, ummm the tooth fairy is a small little (Tooth harrumphed in the corner. "What am I, a beatle?") flying thing that comes to your house when you lose a tooth. She takes your tooth and leaves a coin in its place." Pippa's face brightened up when she heard about the gift. Her face fell almost immediately afterwards…

"But Jack, I lost my tooth! What do I do? I want the tooth fairy to come!" tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's Ok, it's ok Pippa, I'll help you find it! It must be in your room right?" Pippa shrugged. "Well we'll find it, so don't worry kiddo!" Pippa smiled at her brother, relived.

"Jackson Overland Frost! You've had a very long day! I want you to go upstairs this minute and get some rest!" said Sarah, stomping her foot down for emphasis. "I'll help Pippa look for her tooth!" Jack glanced at his sister who was looking at him bringing on her own form of killer puppy dog eyes. (Jack still had her beat in that category however)

"It's ok mom! This won't take long, besides, it's not like I'm that tired.." He said stifling a yawn the best he could.

His mom looked at him suspiciously "15 minutes… if you can't find it by then, go to sleep and I'll help your sister. Her children smiled at her appreciatively before bolting up the ladder to Pippa's corner of the loft.

"Jack?" asked Pippa after five minutes of silent searching.

"Yes?" he said pulling off her covers and pillow searching her bed.

"Why do the tooth fairy collect teeth in the first place?" she said looking at him confused.

Jack lowered the pillow thoughtfully. "Well, I don't know Pippa, why don't you ask the fairy yourself if you see her?" said Jack playfully ruffling Pippa's long brown hair.

She laughed and looked up. She gasped and pointed up to the high set of drawers. "Look Jack! There it is! How on earth did it get up there?"

Jack shrugged as he stood on his tip toes, grasping for the small tooth. "Gross, Pippa! Look at all the blood and guts on it! What did you do? Yank it out with pliers?" she asked her, cupping the tooth in the girls hand who laughed at the face Jack was making. ("I thing blood and cuts are cute when they are on teeth…" said Tooth from the corner, the other guardians laughed at her.) "Well we found it! Now quickly, put it under your pillow before it hides itself on a high place again!" said Jack as his sister scrambled lifting up her pillow and setting the tooth carefully under the mattress.

"Thanks for helping me Jack. That was kind of fun! It was like a treasure hunt!" Pippa laughed and twirled around the room happily.

Jack grinned at his giggling sister. "Good kiddo, it was fun wasn't it?"

The scene faded leaving the guardians smiling at the happy memory.

Ok kind of a pointless chapter, not much going on. I promise it will get better! And don't worry about me not finishing this story; I intend to stick with it until the end!
