They stuck to the path so the trip took forever. Snow was not known for her patients, and she expressed her impatience loud and clear.

"Why couldn't we have just cut through the forest!"

"Because the forest is full of bloody magical wild animals, and the path's bewitched ta keep 'em away. Stay on the path, stay safe." Bunny seemed to be running out of patience for the girl.

The subject of magical creatures actually got her attention. The girl had a thirst for knowledge like a bottomless well. "What kind of magical creatures?"

Bunny seemed glad that she wasn't complaining, but seemed reluctant to tell her about them. He knew she also had an adventurous streak that came from both her mother and her father. "The kind tha'll eat an ankle bitah like you righ' up without a second thought."

Snow seemed to freeze as she saw something flicker in the wood around them. Then she began edging away from Bunny, who had been unfortunate enough to be charged with walking beside her to keep her from causing mischief. Or maybe it was because they knew that he was the only one that could get her to come back if she ran off the path.

"Oh, no ya don't. I am not gettin' my arse chewed out from both of yer mamas for letting you go off the path." He picked her up and swung her small form over his shoulders, making her grab his ears to keep from falling.

"Hey! Let me down!" Snow didn't dare squirm, but the giant Bunny was acting like Jack in his overprotective big brother mode. On steriods. Times infinity.

Bunny ignored her protests and hopped forward again, making them catch up to the group quickly. Snow didn't like being ignored, so she froze his ears. "Bloody hell! Knock it off!" Bunny scolded. Blaze, always the one to be the mediator, kindly unfroze Bunny's ears and started to walk by the pair. Jack fell back too, and soon they were forming a line. Bunny was touched that they would rather walk by him than next to North or Tooth, which is who they had been walking with before.

"Hey, Bunny. I'm sorry about the way I treated you in the past. Um, but I'm not taking back the Kangaroo. You are still a giant Kangaroo to me!"

"Jack just apologized. This day cannot get any weirder. " Snow concluded.

Bunny knew that she would soon be eating her words. "I wouldn't bet on tha', Lil Frostbite."

Snow raised one delicate brow. You know what, I will make a bet on it. If you win, me and Jack'll shape-shift at the end of the day. Heck, we'll even shape-shift into…" she paused, forhead wrinkling in concentraion, "Pookas for ...one, no two weeks, just to make the deal sweeter. But if we win, we don't have to shape-shift until next Easter, and only for a couple of hours." The young spirit seemed pleased that she had remembered the unfamiliar word.

Bunny grinned. Maybe he could get more out of the deal. "I don' know…" He had a sly grin on his face, one that the girl on his shoulders couldn't see, but Jack could.

"I-" Jack began to protest, but was cut off by Snow.

"Three weeks, we stay in the Warren so we can't cheat, and we can't play pranks during the entire thing." Bunny was going to enjoy teasing Jack about this.

"Deal." He held a paw above his head, and the girl gave it a shake, closing the deal.

"Hey, wait, don't I get a say in it? Why do-" He was silenced, and Bunny could picture the glare the girl was giving him.

"Are you saying you want to back out of a closed deal, Jackie?" Her tone was deathly sweet, filled with an obvious threat of 'I will kill you in your sleep if you don't do this, and then I will bring you back and make you go along with it'.

"Yeah Frostbite. It's a closed deal."

~~~~~ Snow Angels ~~~~~

They finally got to the large cabin, which now resembled a mansion of epic proportions. Didn't faze the kids though. They barely even glanced at it. Bunny was suddenly feeling a little nervous about his bet with Snow. They walked up the long path (What was with these people and long as the road to Hell paths) and knocked on the ornate door, Mother Nature in front, the children in back.

"Hell- JACKIE, ROSY, CHRIS! Thank Manny he finally let us see you, my petites!" The one and only Cupid flew out, quite literally, and enfolded the children in a hug. Bunny was stuck in the middle, but Cupid didn't seem to notice as she gave each of her children a kiss on the forehead. Her large angel wings enveloped them in a hug as well, as if they had a mind of their own.

"Mama Love! I'm stuck in the middle here!" Bunny protested, trying to get away. He wasn't one for hugs.

"BB! Thanks for coming! It's been too long." She gave him a kiss on the forehead, earning a snort from the children.

"BB? Really?" Jack said as he too tried to get out of the hug too. The wings tightened their cocoon around them, not allowing him to carry out his escape attempt. He hit the wall of fluff, snapping his mother's attention to him.

"Jackie! What do you think you are doing? If you think I'm letting you out of my sight for the next three centuries, then you are sadly mistaken." Bunny let out a snort and made a move to get out of the feathery prison of the twenty foot wingspan.

"And you. Don't think you are getting out that easily either, Baby Bunny. I take care of you for a century, then you go out on your own, get married, and I only get to see you once every three decades! It's an outrage!"

"Oh now I know what BB stands for. Maman took care of you?" Snow said.

"A very very very long time ago. When I first became a Guardian. I got shrunk back to mini me because of the few believers I had." Bunny explained gruffly. Cupid finally released them, getting a good look at them.

"My Moon! You are all skin and bone! When was the last time any of you had a proper meal? You three look like you did after you tried to go three weeks with as little food as possible. Why, that was right before you were changed to spirits."

"You guys went three weeks without eating?"

"No we ate every few days. We were trying to see what the other families went through in the winter. We didn't realise it would take such a toll on us. Now we are permanently this way." Chris explained.

"BB. You aren't much better yourself. You all need food. Now." She grabbed the boys by the ears, ignoring the rest of the guests as she past them, but adding a "Come on in, you're all welcome in my home." over her shoulder. Snow was laughing with delight as she was taken along with Bunny, who was awkwardly being led by Cupid throughout the house.

"Maman! My ears!" They protested loudly. Even Bunny.

Snow leaned close down to his ear and said, "You win. This day just got a little bit weirder."

~~~~~ Snow Angels ~~~~~

The kitchen was filled with little cherubs, who crowded around the guests, chirping like doves among themselves. Blaze could understand them just fine, though. But he didn't pay attention to what they were saying. He was analyzing everything, looking for weapons, escape routes, anything that could pose a danger to his darling little sister. Not that she couldn't take care of herself, he knew that she could. She had told him all about her braveling and how it taught her to protect herself.

So, no, he would never admit that he was being overprotective of her. They may be twins, but she was small and delicate looking, easy pickings for anyone who didn't know her. She had been bullied as she grew by boys in the town, before they found out that she was Jack and Chrissy's little sister.

They didn't even look like twins. He had at least a half a foot on her, and Jack had a half a foot on him, maybe more. Okay, Jack actually had about a foot and a half on him, but there was no use splitting hairs.

Snow always had an un-needed protector with her. Blaze, Jack, Bunny, Frostmare. They protected her. But she didn't need protecting. She could hold her own easily. Looks could be decieving, more so with her.

When they had been growing up, she had been the ideal girl, going on looks. Delicacy was favorable, and she probably would have ended up dating some snob rich boy if not for her personality. She was a clever girl, teaching herself how to read, growing up on three languages, writing and having almost flawless grammer. She had also had the skill for needle work and cooking. She hated it, but she was skilled nonetheless.

Maman had insisted on teaching the girl all the womanly things, but their father didn't treat her any different that his two sons, besides for the fact that she could do no wrong in his eyes. He taught her how to hunt, how to use a knife, dagger, shortsword, longsword, quarterstaff, longbow, bow and arrows, and hand to hand combat. She had more fight training that most forty year old veterans at the time. She could have been a spy if she were born on the modern age and brought up in that way.

But she used those skills to play clever pranks, surpassing her brother Jack by far with complicity. She never got caught, never left a trail to her. She was a great hunter because of this. The traps she set were invisible, and she was silent as, well spirit. The people had often called them Artemis and Apollo, which he now he found a cruel joke, since she was the cold moon, and he the hot sun. Just like the greek mythological twins. But unlike those twins, these two got along.

Blaze shook himself out of his revive, and watched his sister. She still sat on top of Bunny's shoulders, just like she had when she was human. He chuckled inwardly. Three hundred years, and the girl still had three older brothers being her guardian angels.

The cherubs swarmed around her, they were the size of doves, so there were many right in her face. She was grinning widely, having the time of her life. One hand kept her firmly on Bunny's shoulder, the other letting mini cupids land on her fingers. They chirped out things to her, stuff like, "Welcome home!" "Pretty little princess." "So happy to see you!" and other things like that.

Maman asked her if she wanted to help make some food, but Snow just shook her head, a sour look on her face. Nope, that hadn't changed. He had a feeling that it never would. He started to allow himself to relax, but tensed again at the sound of pounding footsteps.

A younger version of North came through the door, unhidden glee on his face. "Can it be? Is it my little ones?" He said.

Three large gasps came from the youngest of the group. "Daddy!" Snow shouted. The Russian lifted her off Bunny's shoulders and gave her a gentle but tight hug.

"My little Rosybelle! I have missed you!" He kissed her nose before setting her down. Then he enveloped Blaze in the same way.

"Dad! Missed you too! Can't breathe!" Blaze said. He was laughing all the same, lowering the walls that he always had up when he was around other people. He was around family, nothing could go wrong. Not unless that person was stupid enough to go against the most powerful family on the planet.

"Chrissy! You not change much, no? Always straight to point." His father set him down before turning on Jack.

Jack took a step back, remembering his father's hugs from his human life. "Uh hi, nice to- oof!" Jack's protest died as he was brought into the bone crushing hug. "C-can't breathe!" He wheezed out weakly.

"Oops. I forgot you are not like stone. You can break." Alexander looked guilty for a moment, before enveloping his adopted son in a similar hug. "Bunny! Good to see you. Angie was threatening to kidnap Manny to make him give back children. Not good idea. No one want mad Cupid."

For once in three hundred years, Blaze felt completely at ease. He felt safe, not like he needed to keep a lookout for danger. He felt home.

~~~~~ Snow Angels ~~~~~

Jack watched Snow playing with the cherubs. The little love angels seemed to simply adore the girl. The mini Cupids reminded him of Tooth's mini fairies. Which was good, because their jobs were to spread love, like the mini-tooths were tasked with collecting the teeth. Baby Tooth, who had somehow managed to hide in his hood during this entire ordeal, was getting along great as well. Jack flashed his famous smile, and both Baby Tooth and the mini cupids swooned.

Snow climbed back up to perch on Bunny's shoulders, making her tower over everyone but North and their father. He was glad that he had his memories back. And that three hundred years hadn't changed his family all that much. Bunny was still Snow's favorite person, besides for Jack and Blaze. But that was to be expected. Bunny had been just as much their brother as they themselves. It was the same now. But he was still mad that his sister had brought him in on the bet they had made earlier.

Jack knew that Snow would lose the bet the moment he saw the sly look on Bunny's face. Don't bet with the rabbit. Right up there with don't race a bunny. But Jack never remembered that rule. So Bunny was always happy to remind him of it. For at least a little while. If it had been just Snow who made the bet, he wouldn't have cared as much about the outcome. But he had been dragged into it unwillingly, and he didn't have the heart to tell her he was out. Of course, his pride also kept him from doing that as well.

"Jack? Jack? You all right?" The source of the voice was traced back to a mini cupid. She was looking at him with wide eyes, and her dress (yes, in my story, cupids where clothes) was red and pink.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Do you have a name?" Jack asked, not wanting to call her something other than something she was used to being called.

The little angel shook her head, and looked almost sad. "Well, huh, that won't do. How about Vally?"

The little love fairy's eyes lit up and she nodded, and she parked herself on his shoulder. Baby Tooth saw this and raced over. She apparently hadn't met the cherub yet.

"Baby Tooth, meet Vally, Vally, meet Baby Tooth." The two shook hands. Then they went into a long chat that he didn't bother translating. Vally, like Baby Tooth, looked different than the other cherubs. Their eyes were bright blue, and they had straight blond hair, just like his mother, but Vally had greenish brown eyes, almost like caramel, actually, and her hair was a wavy brown.

Something that smelled awful caught his attention, and the attention of everyone else in the room. The conversations stopped as Jack gagged, along with Tooth, Bunny, Snow, Blaze, and Rapunzel. He held his breath as he waited for his stomach to settle.

Cupid marched into the room, a scowl on her face. "Alexander! Why is there a robot in my kitchen making a pot roast? And failing, I might add!"

"I do not know?" He tried. Cupid dragged him off, scolding him as she did about most the people here were vegetarians. Jack started laughing as soon as they were out of earshot. Everyone joined in after moment. Soon they were all on the floor, tears streaming down most of the faces.

"Did you see his face?"

"She was so mad!"

"I'm glad that smell is gone."

Everyone agreed with the last one. No one had really liked the smell of the burning meat.

"I wonder how much trouble Dad is in," Jack commented.

"Ha! He will only have to help her make dinner. That is the worst thing she could do." Jack nodded in agreement with Snow. Their mother was terrible at holding grudges. She loved everything. She was the personification of love, after all.

They all sat in a comfortable silence for a while. Finally, Cupid came back carrying bread, salad, fruit, other veggies, and a whole lot of chocolate. "You three don't get any chocolate. I don't you on a sugar high. They always seem to end-"

"Right, Maman, no chocolate, we get it. No need to start the embarrassing stories of that one time we were on a sugar high and nearly killed ourselves by playing tag, inside, and-"

"Jack, shut up." Chris said. "She doesn't need to have anymore incentive to share those embarrassing stories."

Jack nodded and took a piece of bread. It froze under his touch, frost lightly coating it. He tapped it gently on the side of the counter. Rock solid. "Dang it." He said, disappointed. He really liked his mom's baking. He was going to have to settle for salad.

"Why aren't you and Jack eating?" Jack heard his mother ask Snow. "You used to love my bread." Snow looked guiltily at the bread, which was sitting on the table enticingly.

"I'm sorry, Maman. I can't eat it. I freeze it solid when I touch it. I'll just have to do with veggies." The girl's face turned into a scowl of disgust as she she looked at them. Her eyes lit up again when she saw the carrots. She picked some up and began nibbling on them, still not really used to eating again.

She was even kind enough to hand some to Jack, who had had the same look on his face. She looked at him pleadingly, silently willing him not to make a fuss. He rolled his eyes and began to eat the orange object. Oh, the things he did to keep her happy. First the bet, then the carrots. This day was only going to get worse, because Snow had admitted losing the bet.

~~~~~ Snow Angels ~~~~~

The night crept over the house, and they finally decided they had to go. There were tearful goodbyes, hugs and laughter. There was also a small tornado from Blaze and Snow when they decided to have a last minute game of tag, but that was put to a quick stop by Merida and Jack. Blaze went with Merida back to who knows where, Rapunzel went back to her home, and Hiccup took Toothless flying somewhere in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Mother Nature promised to see them soon, then went back to her realm, and Cupid had to go out to spread love. Alexander had not been seen since he had been dragged out of the room, but they knew he was probably working on an invention.

North led them all back to the sleigh, where the reindeer had fallen asleep. They remembered all the bravelings Sandy had knocked out accidentally on purpose right before they left, so they wouldn't be followed. Now all that were there were six. The bravelings went to their charges, going with them as they left to do their jobs, or just go home, in North's case. Then there were three.

~~~~~ Snow Angels ~~~~~

Snow was dreading having lost the bet. She was going to be stuck as a rabbit for three weeks. Bad move on her part. And no pranks, either. Stupid, stupid, stupid. And now it was night. She looked at bunny, then let her skin change first, then she changed her body. Soon she was a small, furry little bunny. Little because she was still a child. Jack would look the same, well, in size.

The whole process took only five seconds, but it left her weak and tired. Hence the reason she only changed in emergencies. She let herself plop down bonelessly, too tired to care. She heard Jack do the same. Bunny just chuckled.

"So changin' tuckers ya out? Tha's why you don't do it often." They nodded weakly.

"Lose powers too. Can't freeze a thing when we're in different forms. Get the animal we change to's power." After that, she didn't know what happened, because she fell asleep.

~~~~~ Snow Angels ~~~~~

Bunny gently picked up the two kits making sure they were comfortable in his arms before opening a tunnel and going home to the Warren, a couple of chuckling bravelings close behind. This was sounding like a fun three weeks.

A/N: Take it. I don't want it. I could not make this chapter work, so you guys got fluff, and they have shape-shifted finally. what happens next, I'm working on. I hope you like this better than I do. Thank you, Nora, you have kept me sane. Thank you to all who have reviewed as well.
