North was checking the Naughty and Nice lists twice. But he couldn't keep neglecting the crystal. He had to do something, because he felt as if the crystal was saving up for something, something big... Something like Christmas. North was worried. He couldn't just leave now. He had to focus on Christmas... but Christmas might be ruined if he doesn't go back to the crystal. He needed someone who could help him go into the mass of dark, but rescue him if he was in danger. He needed someone who wouldn't tell a soul what he had done. He n needed to tell the other Guardians in due time, after he had destroyed the crystal. Sandy!

"Please, Sandy, you have to help me. Think of the children. Those fearling-like animals are even giving the children nightmares. What would happen if they stopped believing in you?" North tried to convince Sandy to go with him. Sandy finally, with one last regretful look in his eyes, nodded yes. "Oh, thank you, Sandy! Now, let's get going!" North rushed.

Jamie was sitting in his room, at his desk. He was making the plan to help the Guardians."Jamie!" called his mother. "What, Mom?" Jamie shouted back. "It's time for dinner!" "Just five more minutes, Mom!" "Okay!" Jamie returned to work. It was close to Christmas, right? Well, Jamie thought up an elaborate plan to make sure that every child in that city believed.
