A swarm of two thousand mini fairies streamed out of Tooth Palace at Toothiana's command. The Tooth Fairy sent her helpers to every corner of the globe. Not just to search for Luna, but also to keep track of Pitch's activity.

Jack, who had accompanied Tooth to her home, stared in amazement as the fairies flew off.

"Hey, Tooth?" Jack said. "How do you think this is all gonna end?" Tooth placed a tiny hand on Jack's shoulder.

"Jack, there's something I need to tell you." Was this it? Was she finally going to say it out loud? "Jack, I..." The boy's brilliant blue eyes barreled into her amethyst ones. She exhaled sharply. "I just... really hope that everything turns out just the way you want it to." Dang. She missed her chance. Tooth could clearly see that Jack had really fallen for Luna, and that was probably her last opportunity to tell him how she felt. Urgh! Why couldn't she just say it?"

"Thanks, Tooth." The fairy nodded.

Within about twenty minutes, several groups of fairies had returned with news on the children of the world. They were hardly sleeping. They had received Nightmares for several weeks without a break, and eventually just started sitting up in fear all night long. That was NOT a good sign.

When Baby Tooth's group returned, they excitedly squeaked their news at Tooth.

"They found her!" Tooth cheered. Baby Tooth squealed at Tooth some more, and Tooth yelped with happiness.

"What?! Where is she?!" Jack demanded.

"She's still in Burgess! They just saw her walking in the middle of town!"

"Well come on! Let's go!" Jack yelled.

"You three!" Tooth gestured to three fairies. "Go tell North, Sandy, and Bunny to meet us there!" And with that, they were off.

…..

When Tooth and Jack first saw Luna that night, the winter spirit sped after her, but Tooth stopped him.

"We have to do this slowly and calmly," she explained. "She's probably very confused and we want to approach her gently." Jack nodded disappointedly.

Luna had her striped hood up over her head and was walking quickly down the sidewalk. Jack and Tooth trailed behind her. When the new spirit turned a corner, her stalkers hurried themselves up. When they rounded the corner, they found her facing a wall that created a dead end.

"Luna!" Jack called. The girl's head whipped around and her hood fell off. Jack froze.

"Her eyes..." Tooth trailed off. Then they heard a crash that signaled North's landing. Sandy, Bunnymund, and North all rushed to the other Guardians' sides. They were all stunned by the giant white orbs that stared back at them. But Jack was distracted by something else.

"Luna, did someone hurt you?" he asked, his eyes fixed on the bruise and cut beneath her left eye. He walked toward her and reached to stroke her face. She flinched back. Sadness flooded over the boy as he realized that his best friend had no idea who he was.

Luna shuddered. This boy with the white hair was so familiar it hurt. But why did she recognize him? She had never seen him before... right?

"Luna..." he whispered as he put a hand on her shoulder. Why did she look like she was afraid of him? "Luna, it's me!" he shouted. He took her face in his hands and forced her to look at him. "It's ME!" Luna gritted her teeth as she sent her clenched fist pummeling into his lips. Jack was shoved backward by the sheer force of her punch. All the Guardians gasped, except for Bunny, who had to fight off the urge to start laughing.

Jack grunted in pain and covered his mouth with his hand. Tooth zoomed over and gently held his jaw as she stuck her fingers in his mouth. She sighed in relief when she found that his perfect teeth had not been damaged.

Jack glanced up at Luna with a what the heck expression on his face.

"Who are you people?" Luna snapped.

"You really don't remember any of us?" asked a very upset Bunny. His answer was a desperately puzzled glare.

I know him... But why?

"Luna, you need to come with us," said North.

I know all of them...

"Please," Jack begged as he tried once more to touch her. But a huge crystal sword appeared in her hand out of nowhere, and Jack stumbled back again.

"Tell me... who... you are," Luna enunciated, raising the sword to Jack's neck.

"Jack."

"Jack who?"

"Jack who? Try Jack Frost! You know, your best friend who takes you out flying and... and who you spent Christmas and your birthday with! And the one who took you to the North Pole! And the last person you saw before you..." He couldn't finish that last sentence.

The boy's pleading eyes dug into her very soul. She lowered her sword and it returned to its puny charm form.

"Where is it that you need me to go?"

…..

Luna sank into one of North's chairs.

"Are you sure this is me that you're talking about?" She was bewildered. If everything they had just told her was true, then why couldn't she remember it?

"Yes, it's you!" Tooth persuaded.

"You're positive?" Luna asked. Sandy nodded madly. A bunch of sand images appeared above his head as he tried to explain things to her, but she could only pick out a few scraps of what he was telling her.

"Don't you have any memories at all?" Jack said urgently. Then Tooth let out an echoing gasp.

"Memories! We need to get her teeth!"

"We'll take the tunnels," Bunny said quickly. He tapped his foot on the floor, and a giant hole appeared.

…..

When they reached Tooth Palace, Tooth dashed to one of the compartments that held baby teeth.

"Here it is! Luna Nightingale!" She flew to Luna and placed a rectangular box in her hands. Luna inspected the painting of herself that was on the end of it. Brown eyes? She brushed a thumb over the diamond patterns on the top of the box, and she was suddenly in a different world.

A four-year-old Luna tugged on her mother's shirt, pulling her toward the line of kids waiting to sit on Santa's lap at the mall.

Five-year-old Luna made tiny snowangels in her yard as she giggled at the falling snowflakes.

Nine-year-old Luna braided fresh spring flowers into her hair.

Memories flashed before her eyes, fast-forwarding through the years. They eventually lead to her first meeting with Jack, and ended with "I love you too, Luna." And she suddenly remembered everything.

When Luna re-entered the current world, she looked over all of her friends. Jack came up to her.

"Do you remember?"

The girl swept Jack into her arms and hugged him so hard he couldn't breathe. She looked up into his eyes.

"How did I ever forget?" All the other Guardians joined in on the hug and happily enjoyed the calm before the storm.

Finally got chapter 11 up. Thanks for being patient, everyone! When I saw all the new reviews I was so happy! Thank you all for the support!
