AN: I hope all of you guys have had a very merry christmas, and just in case I forget, I hope you all have a wonderful new year! Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and reviews, and I hope you're all enjoying the story so far! I'm sorry for this chapter, it's going to be a bit boring and descriptive, but it'll be better later on when I don't have to describe too much!

"You were amazing!" Tooth grinned as they flew back over snow-capped countries to the North Pole.

"Thanks." Selena grinned, clutching the bag of wishes as if they were her life. Which, in a way, they were. Or at least, they were now. Her other hand was curled around Jack's hoody, as he and Tooth still refused to allow her to fly home herself. She had to admit, though, she was exhausted, and she was glad of the rest.

Selena was sad that Tooth had had to miss her first ever wish-hunt, but she was finding that she was bonding with the fairy in an entirely new way: unlike North and Bunnymund, she would be working all day, every day, never ceasing or slowing, and never taking a holiday. She wondered if she too would get her own little palace, with her own little army of fairies. She still had no idea how that had came about for the fairy, but she hoped the same would happen to her. Unless it was horrible, of course. Selena decided she'd had enough of horrible things, and was starting to become happy with her life as it was.

When they landed back at the workshop, North, Bunny and Sandy were waiting with smug smiles and folded arms. Selena smiled at them, and went to step behind them to reach her chair, but North held out a big, tattooed arm, and she stumbled back.

"Don't get comfortable." He instructed her. "We have new home for you to go to."

"A- a new home?" Selena stammered.

Sandy nodded happily, a small palace of golden sand floating above his head.

"Where?" She asked, blinking rapidly.

"Middle o' the North Pacific Ocean." Bunny answered. "Right between Greenland and Britain."

"But- but won't people see it?" She shook her head slightly.

"Not unless you believe." North said. "Come, we'll go there in the sleigh."

"I'm in for a ride in the sleigh." Jack grinned, strolling forward to stand next to North.

"I'll follow overhead." Tooth said, seemingly anxious.

"And I'll take the tunnels." Bunny nodded, looking at Tooth with a nervous expression.

North simply shook his head. "Don't be silly, Bunny. Tooth, fine. But Bunny - get in the sleigh. Come on."

It was a short walk to the sleigh, down the elevator and out into the outer building. Selena had learned, by now, not to expect things from stories or legends; she had already misjudged a lot of her new-found friends because of children's fables. So she went into the "garage" with a mind clear of any expectations.

But she was still shocked at what she saw.

The reindeer looked rabid for a start, but she couldn't help stretching out a glittering hand to stroke along the soft fur of one's neck, calming the beast almost instantly. The sleigh, which she assumed wouldn't have any seats, was set up like bleachers in American school, almost, built for any number of people. She clambered in with North's help, and wedged herself against the side. Sandy sat down calmly beside her, and Jack perched himself at the back, on the edge. Bunny hopped in next to Sandy, and between the three of them it was a tight squeeze, but Selena felt better for it. She may not have liked heights, but she had never been a fan of rollercoasters.

Selena looked doubtfully behind her at Jack - it didn't feel so safe.

"Maybe I could fly with Tooth." She said anxiously.

Jack shook his head, giving her a lop-sided smile. "It's fine, honestly. Bunny's just a wuss." He added under his breath.

"Everybody ready?" North asked from his seat at the front. Selena couldn't say she was, but she turned around and nodded anyways. "Hold tight!" North grinned.

Bunny groaned, and Selena clasped her hands in her lap. Once again she had expectations: she was expecting a simple runway, like for planes, to lift them off into the air.

She was horribly wrong.

While Sandy and Jack loved it, Selena and Bunny gripped the underneath of the seats, though she refused to scream. She tried to lok as serene as she could, with her legs locked around the precious jars of wishes as they looped and skidded through a tunnel of ice, before shooting out into the wintery air.

"I hate you." Selena hissed, turning round to glare at Jack before pulling her bundle of jars onto her lap, hugging them as if they were a child. Eyes wide with fear, she tried to ignore Jack's laughter and whooping.

It wasn't so bad once they were out of the tunnel - the deer flew steady, and it almost felt like being on an open-topped bus, or something of the like. It was actually quite peaceful, once it stabilised itself, and Tooth zipped down to her side of the sleigh to talk to her while they flew.

Since the North Pole wasn't very far from Greenland, it wasn't long until they landed. It was a large stretch of deep blue ocean between the islands, but Selena was the first to spot the speck of green in the freezing blue waters.

"There it is!" She grinned, her eyes wide with the excitement that replaced the fear.

They started to drop, but Selena wasn't scared. She was buzzing with excitement, and Tooth came to sit beside Jack in the sleigh, her hands clasped in her lap. Selena wondered where the sleigh would land, because the entire island seemed to be devoted to the shining silver castle, that glittered in the sunlight just like the skin of it's owner. But then Selena noticed the rather large green garden, and the wide pathway that ran around it, like a runway. The sleigh slowly dropped, and skidded along the runway with alarming rate, and for a moment Selena thought they were just going to drop off the edge. But then they stopped, and one half of the party stopped to take a moment to breath before climbing out of the sleigh.

"Who's taking me on a tour then?" Selena asked, with her hands on her hips. She stared up at the palace, or what she could see of it over the tall green hedge separating the runway and the garden.

"We all will," North shrugged. "We all helped."

"I'm showing her the living room!" Tooth beamed. "I decorated the livng room."

"Well, I'll show her the dining room, then." Bunny nodded, climbing shakily out of the sleigh.

"I'll show her the bedroom." Jack nodded, leaning againast his staff slightly.

"Yeah, you wish." Bunny muttered as he walked past him towards the tall, silver-painted gaint leading inside the garden.

Selena felt the blood rise to her cheeks as North chuckled, Sandy laughed silently, and Jack glared after Bunny with venom in his eyes.

"Come on," North said, placing a large hand on Selena's back and pushing her gently towards the gate. "Inside."
