Disclaimer: I do not own Rise of the Guardians

After everyone had finished laughing and Bunny had finished glaring at me, North led us all into a room that I assumed to be the lounge. We all sat down and started talking about random things. North had asked me to repeat the story of how Jack and I had met. Of course I complied. Why on Earth would I say no to the man in the red suit? So I repeated it and we all had a good laugh. Except Jack. He just sat there blushing. That made me laugh even harder. After a while of laughing and talking, I had finally gotten to the point where I was pretty comfortable being around the Guardians.

Eventually Jack said, "Hey, North, would it be okay if I took Kristy on a tour of the workshop? We won't break anything, I promise." However, even if the others couldn't, I could see the mischievous glint in Jack's eyes. That look always put me on high alert that something was going to happen. We both looked at North who was scratching his beard in thought. "Well, I guess that would be fine. Just don't break anything." he said in his russian accent.

Jack grinned and grabbed my hand. I yelped as he pulled me away from the chair before giving me notice that we were leaving. "So, what do you want to see first?" Jack asked me.

The wonder had returned to my eyes as I saw the yetis building more toys than I could imagine. Some that I've never seen before. "I'm not sure," I finally managed to get out.

Jack chuckled and picked me up bridal style. He flew to the very top of the workshop and put me down. I barely even noticed that he had picked me up as I stared at the vast workshop that I had dreamed about since I was a child.

"Well, I guess we could start from the top," he said. We walked for a while, Jack showing me the different rooms, and even introducing me to a couple of the yetis. I waved and grinned cheekily to a yeti that Jack introduced as Phill. He looked at Jack warily and then fixed me with his gaze. He looked at me for a second before saying something in his odd language. I wasn't quite sure how to react to that, so I just smiled and nodded. Both Jack and Phil looked at me funny. Jack then led me away to continue the tour. "What was that?" he asked.

I chuckled. "When you can't understand someone, just smile and nod."

Jack laughed and said, "Well, with an attitude like that, I'm surprised that you haven't gotten into more trouble with the people at your school."

I smirked. "Oh, trust me, you don't know the half of it."

Jack looked at me before warily asking, "What did you do?"

I laughed slightly as I remembered all the times I had to go to the principle's office for things that I had done to the 'school bullies'. "Well, this one time, a girl in first grade had tried to cut some of my hair off during art. So I did the only thing that came naturally at the time. I squirted glue at her face."

Jack started laughing at this and we had to stand there as he tried to get a hold of himself. Finally he had stopped laughing long enough to ask, "What happened?"

I grinned. "I got in trouble with the teachers but, even at that age, I was a remarkable actress and liar. I had to go to the office I pulled the whole 'I'm so sorry! I want my mommy!' thing. The principle was way too soft and let me off the hook. I walked out of the office without a punishment while it took the other girl 3 days to finally get all of the glue out of her hair."

Jack had started laughing again halfway through my story. "That.." he gasped out., "is one of the most brilliant things that I have ever heard!"

I cracked a smile. It had never seemed as funny as it did now. 'Well?" I asked. "Your turn. What is one of the worst things that you have done?"

Jack stopped laughing and thought about it for a second. Eventually he smiled and said, "Well there are a lot and I mean a lot of bad things that I have done. Okay um... Ah! It was warming up outside and I obviously didn't have much to do. I was bored." I winced. A bored Jack was definitely not something you wanted to get in the way of. "It was still supposed to be cold out. I found out that the Summer spirits were messing around trying to end the cold season early. I wasn't too happy about that, obviously. So I snuck inside their homes and froze everything inside. That definitely got their attentions. They came after me and chased me all the way to Antarctica. But I was expecting that. So before I did everything, I created a whole army of snowmen and brought them to life. The Summer spirits were completely and totally freaked out. They ran after getting pelted by a WHOLE lot of snowballs. Sure bringing all of those snowmen to life was tiring, but the look on those spirits' faces was totally worth it." He smiled at the memory. I was trying to hold in my laughter. I raised my hand and we high fived. I had my eyes closed and was laughing when all of a sudden I felt myself being lifted from the ground, being held from under my arms. Jack carried me over the edge and floated above the floor of the workshop... that was at least 50 feet beneath us.. Just to freak me out I guess.

Though it was working, I sure as heck wasn't going to let him know that.I tried my best to not freak out and instead yelled, "JACK, PUT ME DOWN!"

He smirked and dropped one of my arms, so he was only holding me by one. That's when I started freaking out. I started kicking and kept yelling at him. Unfortunately, he didn't expect me to freak out like that, and he accidentally let go of my arm. I fell through the air and squeezed my eyes shut tight, awaiting impact. However, it never came. I opened my eyes and saw Jack holding me, bridal style. I glared at him.

"Just because you stopped me from going splat, doesn't mean that you're getting a thank you kiss or anything." He put me on the ground and I started scolding him. Unknown to me, the Guardians had seen the whole thing and were currently watching us bicker. They chuckled as I started chewing Jack out for nearly making me splat against the floor of the workshop like a bug.

Finally, Bunny called out, "Hey ya Drongos. North's giving out cookies and egg nog. Come and get some if you want it." Then he left the room with the other guardians. This announcement made me falter in my yelling as my stomach growled.

I turned to fix Jack with one last playful glare. "This isn't over!" I declared as I quickly followed the Guardians. Jack chuckled and flew after me.

A/N Aaaand done! Well another chapter done. I know that it's a bit shorter but I didn't get that long to write and I wanted to get something out for you people. I'm probably going to start getting to the plot soon. A little more bonding, a few mean words from Bunny, and a severe chewing out from Kristy. lol I hope that it all turns out like I have it planned. But who knows? Sometimes these stories have a mind of their own. Thank everyone for reviewing and reading this far into the story. You guys rock! This chapter's song:
