Chapter 10

Hope you like this chapter!

Sunday went by too fast; Tooth spent the night telling Rapunzel and Merida about her date with Jack getting squeals from Rapunzel and fake gagging noises from Merida. She spent her day doing homework with Merida and Rapunzel. Merida spent most of her day lying on Tooth's couch and eating her food, Rapunzel spent the day messing around with Tooth's hair. It wasn't until around nine when Aster arrived with the girls both sleeping in his arms when the Merida and Rapunzel decided it was time to say their goodbye. Tooth didn't want to tell Aster about her date but she knew if she didn't he would find out some other way and that wouldn't end well, "You what?" Aster spat quietly as Tooth shut the girl's bedroom door as they stepped out.

"I went on a date with Jack Frost." She said assertively as she walked passed him into the kitchen.

"Tooth what are ya thinkin'," Aster groaned following after her, "isn't he your nanny, ya cannot date your nanny!" He argued as quietly as he could so he wouldn't wake up the girls.

"Good thing he quit," She said making herself tea, "would you like some tea, Bunny?"

"Yes please," he responded sitting down, "what do ya mean he quit?" he continued in his angry rant.

"He quit, that's exactly what I mean," she replied pouring tea into two cups, "he's still going to look after the girls though just for free."

"Oh no, no, no" Aster protested taking the cup of hot tea, "my girls are not goin' to be looked after your boyfriend, which ya have only known for barley a week." Aster ranted.

"They are my girls Aster," Tooth said turning to her friend giving him a dangerous glare, "I take care of them the best I could, Jack is a good nanny, he is volunteering to take care of the girls I don't have the time or the money to get another nanny, or would you like to take care of them Aster." Tooth retorted her hands firmly around her cup.

"Tooth," Aster began only to look down at his cup of tea, "I'm acting like a bloody idiot aren't I?" he sighed out looking up at his best friend.

"Yes you are Aster" Tooth sighed walking over to her friend and placing her hand on his shoulder, "Trust me will you, I'm not the same bullied little girl from freshmen year." She chirped putting her cup down, Aster looked at Tooth who was giving him a warm smile. He let out a sigh in defeat and put his cup down as well.

"Am I going to meet him?" He groaned out.

"Of course you are," Tooth giggled.

"Fine but if I don't like him, Tooth I will let him know." Aster threated picking up the cup of tea and pouring most of it down he's throat, "but if the bloody loser makes ya happy then there's not much I could do." He groaned.

"Is big brother mode deactivated now?" Tooth mocked pouring more tea in Aster's cup.

"Deactivated?" He laughed, "It's always activated Toothie." He muttered picking up his cup again, "Just on a lower level." He chuckled. After finishing his third cup of tea Aster vowed to return in the morning and went home. Tooth finished another cup of coffee before heading to bed to try to get some sleep. It didn't' feel like more than an hour before someone was knocking on her door, she checked her alarm clock it was a half an hour before she actually needed to be get up. Tooth begrudgingly stood up, walked to the door and opened it to see Aster dressed in a green sweatshirt and grey sweatpants with two bags of McDonald's breakfast in his hand. "Brought ya some grub," He chuckled walking into Tooth's small apartment.

"Why are you here so early?" Tooth complained lazily shutting the door.

"I was out on my run and just assumed you'd be awake I guess I was wrong for once," he shrugged putting the bags on the table and taking off his sweatshirt revealing his white tank top.

"You went on a jog and now you're going to eat McDonald's?" Tooth asked sleepily sitting down at the table.

"Yeah I don't see a problem with that" Aster chuckled getting plates from the cabinets.

"What did you even get" Tooth questioned, "Aren't you a vegetarian?"

"Yeah, I ordered pancakes," he said setting a plate in front of Tooth, "I got you the big breakfast I think with the eggs and sausage and a coffee of course." He explained pulling out the contents of the bag, "for the girls I brought the same, I'm goin' to put theirs in the refrigerator," He said as Tooth put her head down to try to catch up on the sleep Aster cost her, "Come on Toothie, let's eat." He said finally settling down on the table. Tooth groaned in protest as she lifted her head and began to eat, Aster chuckled slightly as he began to stuff his mouth as well. "When is ya boyfriend comin'?" Aster asked chewing on a pancake.

"Probably in a few minutes, he lives right down the hall," She explained as cut another piece of her pancake, "You eat like a child, Bunny" she giggled as she watched Aster stuff another pancake in his mouth.

"At least I don't eat like bird" Aster retorted chuckling slightly with his mouth full, she stuck out her tongue at him before she took another small bite of her pancake, "Ya should come runnin' with me one day, Toothie." He said wiping his mouth and picking up his coffee.

"We've tried working out together before, Bunny," Tooth faked shivering slightly at the memory, "and we both know that didn't end well."

"Ah come on Toothie it wasn't that bad" Aster chuckled, "Ya just gotta keep up, Shelia."

"Keeping up with you is like racing a rabbit it's a lost cause," Tooth joked pulling off the lid of her coffee cup and looking down suspiciously into it.

"Tooth I am offend you think I got your coffee order wrong" Aster gasped pretending to be hurt, "I've known you for five years of our lives trust me a little." He chuckled pouring more syrup on his pancakes. Tooth rolled her eyes and tasted her coffee, she looked up at Aster with an approving smile on her face, "See Toothie, I got ya." Aster chuckled. After a few more minutes of chatting Tooth turned to the clock and groaned.

"I have to get dress, Aster." She said standing up from the table, "If Jack knocks let him in and don't worry about all this I'll clean it up." She said walking into her room, "the girls will be awake in a few minutes if you could heat up the food for me I'll be really grateful." The called out from her room. Aster stood up and cleaned up the table even though Tooth said she was going to do it, he couldn't stand a mess. He walked the refrigerator getting the food out for the girls and preparing it for them. Aster leaned against the counter and waited patiently for the microwave to beep when he heard a knock on the door. He knew exactly who it was, his face hardened slightly as he walked to the door. He opened the door to reveal Jack. Jack wasn't exactly what he expected. Jack was much scrawnier than him; Aster was a very well-built man so it wasn't much of surprise that he was bigger than him. Aster was also a few inches taller than the white haired guy before him. Jack shifted awkwardly as Aster stood in front of him; Jack was dressed in a blue zipper down sweater, white t-shirt, brown pants, and vans, not exactly professional in Aster's opinion. "Hello." Jack finally said waving awkwardly at Aster, Aster moved a side to let Jack in and closed the door after him. "I'm Jack Frost." Jack said offering his hand for Aster to shake; Aster shook his hand quickly before walking back into the kitchen.

"Names Edmund Aster Bunnymund" Aster said knowing that Jack was following him into the kitchen, "Call me Aster." He said going back to lean against the counter.

"Okay, Aster." Jack said finding his own wall to lean on in the kitchen trying not to make an ass of himself in front of Aster. Jack knew in order to get in even better in Tooth's good graces he was going to make friends with the man glaring at him from the other side of the room. Aster was in a few words very intimidating, he looked like he's been working out for at least a good part of his life, he was at least six foot one, and he had an Australian accent which to Jack meant he probably wrestled a few crocodiles in his childhood. It wasn't that Jack was scared of Aster because he wasn't but he would rather get on Aster's good side then see his fist aimed at his face. "Did ya ever have a business in Burgess, Jack?" Aster asked his arms crossed over his chest.

"Uh yeah" Jack answered giving Aster a curious look.

"Ya took care of the Bennett kids, am I right?" he asked as the microwave beeped, he took out the food and placed it on the table.

"Yeah, Jamie and Sophie, they were my favorite kids." Jack chuckled remembering his time spent with those kids.

"Those little ankle biters are my sister's kids." Aster chuckled going back to lean against the counter, "I knew I heard 'bout ya."

"You're the Easter Bunny?" Jack laughed, "Jamie and Sophie would constantly tell me about their uncle the Easter Bunny, they would go to his house to paint eggs and on Easter they'd visit to go on an Easter egg hunt."

"The very same," Aster chuckled, "I could explain why they think I'm the Easter Bunny though it's not as crazy as you think."

Jack met Aster, Yay! Now what will happen next and where's James?! Well you'll know soon in Chapter 11! lol I love you guys Thank you so much for reading!
