A/N: Hey guys! I just want to thank you SO much for the great response that the last chapter got. Apparently adding Oblivion in everyone was a nice touch ;) But I also want to give a shout out to my brother, who helped me a lot with the plot in the story. I know you're reading this bro, and you can thank me later when you're done squealing like a fangirl.

This chapter's going to be chiller than the last one, but there'll be some slight romance for you to see, so please enjoy! –Andrea

The seven of them found themselves in calm, serene forest, tall trees surrounding them and filling their ears with the sound of trees swaying in the wind. The orange-tinged leaves were falling here as well, just like the giant oak that they had just left.

Most of them were relieved to find themselves out of harm's reach, but Leland looked absolutely devastated. I guess he took the biggest hit from the night's previous events.

"Everything…" he mumbled, falling onto his knees, "All of it…everything I have…"

The other six stared at him in pity as he said, "…Gone."

"Leland, you're going to be alright." Kelda floated down and kneeled beside the fall spirit, patting his shoulder gently, "I promise."

Jack could see the tiniest glint of a tear escape the spirit's coffee-brown eyes. But it didn't fall, unlike the leaves that fell of the trees around them. Instead Leland wiped it away, and as if the whole fiasco had never happened, he looked up, turning towards the other around him.

"Who are you?" he said, to no one in particular.

"Well—" Tooth floated forward slightly, "I'm Tooth, and these are Jack, Pippa, and Bunnymund." She pointed to all of them as she listed their names, and Leland stood up. He was about an inch shorter than Jack, but his proud, stout figure compensating.

"Who the hell has the name 'Bunnymund'? I mean, being the Easter Bunny's bad enough, but to have a name like that… " He gave an obnoxious, sarcastic laugh, causing the rabbit to step forward in rage.

"Watch your mouth, you bloody show pony," Bunny towered over Leland, but the shorter fall spirit just stared up defiantly.

"What? I'm just saying what we're all thinking," Brown eyes pierced green when he said the next sentence, "Easter, is a pathetic holiday."

"Enough, you two," Kelda flew in between them, trying to separate the feud, but they just stared at each other angrily.

"How do you know?" Bunnymund spoke up, voice louder and more aggressive, "fall's just about things dying anyway, and that's all on Oblivion's part."

"BUNNY!"

Tooth had never yelled before, but the rabbit's latest comment set her over the edge. "How dare you two fight right after we were saved! You both should be thankful that you're still breathing, but now you're just throwing insults at each other for no good reason!"

Silence filled the group as the two spirits walked backwards away from each other, Leland stopping beside Pippa and Bunnymund stopping beside Jack. They were still glaring at each other, but it seemed less intimidating now that they were far apart.

They were all snapped back to reality when Tooth turned to the little boy, who had slipped out of their minds so easily even though he was the one who had just saved them.

"What's your name, little boy?"

He hesitantly responded, "It's Tyler. Tyler Trados."

"Hmm," said, Leland, "I've never known your last name before, Tyler."

"You didn't know the names of all of your servants, master."

It didn't mean to sound harsh or cruel, but Leland's head drooped anyway, humiliated. He'd thought that the other six would think of him as a terrible master.

"I'm…sorry, Tyler," he said, and the little boy just smiled and said "Don't be."

Even though the other spirits were just standing around, Kelda was already walking about the forest, picking up branches and placing them in the center of the group.

"What are you doing?" Pippa asked, and Kelda responded by scratching two rocks together and aiming for the sticks.

"I'm trying to start a fire," she said, but when the rocks didn't work, she threw them down to the ground defeated. "Damn, I haven't done this in years."

She stood up, and when they asked her where she was going, she said that she was going to go out and get more firewood.

They all stared around the silent bundle of stick, until Leland kneeled to the ground.

"You guys won't tell this to Kelda, would you?"

Before the others could respond, he placed his right hand in front of him, and a red orb began to form in his palm. Once it grew larger than his hand, Leland pushed his arm forward and the red orb landed on the sticks, causing a great bonfire to form.

"How the hell did you do that?" Pippa said in awe, as the other four gawked. The fire didn't even make Jack feel as if he was melting, which was a great relief for everyone.

"It's a part of my abilities," Leland said, holding his right hand close to his chest, "Unlike you, Kelda, and Jack over there, I use hand magic."

"Why don't you want Kelda to know?"

The fall spirit turned to Jack, and answered softly, "Because she'd be jealous."

Bunnymund laughed at Leland's comment. "You've got tickets on yourself, mate!"

"I'm not full of myself, rabbit," Everybody was surprised to see that Leland had understood what Bunnymund said, but his face turned quickly from irritated to sad as he looked on at the fire, "Kelda doesn't have any magic, and that's the one thing that she's always wanted. Even when we were human…"

Silence filled the group.

"Don't act surprised. Jack and Pippa knew each other, so why are you so shocked about us? We were great friends, and we'd talk a lot about how we'd want our lives to be like. She always wanted magical powers, which was why she was upset when she turned into a spirit she didn't have any. But I do, and I've never told her—"

Suddenly, Kelda came bursting out of the trees and holding up a large stack of firewood, a surprised look passing her face as she stared at the roaring flame. "How'd you guys do that?"

"Um…" Leland stood up, as if pretending that he wasn't the one who started the fire. And since nobody responded, Kelda just shrugged and threw some more wood into the bonfire before sitting on the ground. The others sat down as well, but silence engulfed them once again and nobody was willing to start a new conversation.

"So what do we do now?" said Tooth sadly.

It was a fair question. They had nowhere to go, nowhere to be, no one to trust, and an evil spirit on the loose and looking for them. Not to mention that they were stuck in a random forest, with no food and no chance of surviving.

"I guess…" Bunnymund said, "…We start looking for a place to stay."

"Where?" Leland asked. Obviously the loss of his castle had scared him emotionally.

"Tooth Palace?"

"Jack, that's a resident for fairies that never touch the ground," Tooth said, "There isn't any places to stay, either. It's all floating in mid air."

"I think I have a place," said Tyler, "It's this unused cottage down in the British Countryside. I have a friend there, and I think he'll let all of us stay."

"Well, that's a great idea Tyler," said Kelda, "But what if he doesn't?"

"Then we can stay in the Warren," suggested Bunnymund, and the spring spirit's eyes lifted up.

"Really? You'd let us stay there? Jeez, I've always wanted to see the Easter Bunny's Warren."

And Bunnymund's ears fell flat against the back of his head, and Jack hid a snicker behind his hand.

"We'll check out the two places tomorrow." Tooth said, "But for now, we can sleep."

All of the other's followed as Tooth lay her head down gently onto the cold ground, and curled up to go and fall asleep. But Bunny and Jack were still wide-awake as a distant stream of golden sand ran down and onto the heads of the five people around them. It was interesting to see the others' dreams; Tyler dreamt about pastries, Pippa dreamt about a little winged girl flying over the sea, Tooth dreamt about teeth (as usual), and Leland dreamt about a grand dance with leaves falling around the party. Kelda had a very interesting dream…there were two figures in it, one that was obviously supposed to be the spring spirit herself, and the other was a giant, six-foot tall bunny. The rabbit tapped his foot on the ground twice, and they fell in. They landed inside a place that was uncharacterized, but supposedly was Kelda's ideas of the Warren.

"Frostbite?"

Jack turned towards the Easter Bunny, who was staring at Kelda's dream as well. If he had been human, he would've been blushing bright red.

"Is this about what she said earlier?" Jack was referring to the Queen of Spring. Bunnymund nodded, and then said "What do I do, mate? She says she wants to see the Warren—"

"Well then, show her the Warren, dammit!" The winter spirit said it so blatantly, but Bunny just shook his head. "I don't want it to be just for some survival reasons. I mean, I want it to be special…well, special for her at least…"

Jack stared at the rabbit, a smirk playing across his face. "You have no idea how obvious it is that you're crushing on her, kangaroo."

"Well, what do I do, mate?"

"Take her to the Warren alone," suggested Jack, "The rest of us will check out Tyler's place, while you bring her there, just the two of you. Let her paint some eggs, or something. And give her a gift, while you're at it."

"But wouldn't that be suspicious?" Bunnymund sat up as Kelda's dream replayed in her mind, "I mean, I think everyone would mind if I would take her alone to look at a place that we're all supposed to be looking at!"

But in the glowing sand above the spring spirit's head, Jack could see he rabbit's figure holding Kelda's hand in his paw, bending over slightly to kiss it.

"I don't think she'll mind."
