Another idea to make Children Believe:
At the North Pole, Snowmoon recovered from his worn out state much to Jenna's delight. Right after that a funeral was held for Sandy.
Marcus placed a glass lantern on the Guardian symbol, where Sandman's likeness was. He looked over at North, who shuts his eyes in grief. He looked at Tooth who was crying as well as Bunny who snuffled his nose. The four linked arms to share in their grief for their dead friend.
All around the symbol were other lights; the Yetis standing by and elves nodding their heads to make their bells chime to create a mournful dirge for the Sandman.
For hours, they all just stood there crying and sniffling for the death of the oldest Guardian in history. What could they do now?
Jenna and Snowmoon didn't attend the funeral; they felt incredibly guilty for Sandy's death.
Whilst Snowmoon laid down so silent, Jenna sit nearby on the stone bench of a wood with her knees tucked in.
He touched the pane and it started to frost over, creating the same likeness of the Sandman as on the Guardian symbol. She sighed. She wished she could have saved the man that had saved her, Marcus and her dragon.
Marcus walked up to her. "Are you all right?"
Jenna didn't say anything for a moment but then answered, "I just, uh- I wish I could've done something,"
"Done something? Jenna, you and your dragon stood up to Pitch. You and Snowmoon saved us,"
"But Sandy-"
"Would be proud of what you did," Marcus finished. He placed a hand and on hers and looked into her eyes trying to give her confidence.
Jenna stood up on her feet and her dragon lifted up his head.
She came in front of him and hugged his head and stroked his scales.
"I don't know who you were in your past life, but in this life you are Guardian," Marcus told her.
"How can I know who I am Marcus?" Jenna asked feeling lost as she turned back to him, until I found out who I was?"
"You will, I feel it - in my gut," Marcus answered adding a bit of convincing in his tone. "I also have a feeling you'll find out your purpose, Snowmoon," he said to Snowmoon.
"Thanks, Marcus," Snowmoon said getting up. "And thank you for saving my life earier,"
There were small smiles between the three of them. Jenna noticed there was something glowing golden on Marcus's hand.
"What's that on your hand?"
"What's what on my hand?" Marcus asked trying to steer her away from what he couldn't show, hiding his hand behind his back.
"That," Jenna gently grabbed Marcus's hand and lifted it for her eyes to analyze.
Her eyes widened when she saw a giant G symbol on her hand just like hers.
Snowmoon's eyes widened as well.
"You ride a dragon like me," Jenna gasped.
"Not anymore," Marcus pulled his hand out of her grasp and proceeded to walk away.
"Where's your dragon?"
Snowmoon's question made Marcus halt in his steps. "Dead," he simply answered.
Sorrow filled Jenna and Snowmoon's eyes.
Marcus turned his head away but still stood still as sad memories flooded his head. "She was murdered by Pitch. A while after my father chose me and the others to be Guardians. Pitch attempted to reclaim power but he failed. We had won over him but at the cost of our dragons' who gave their lives to protect us,"
"So the other Guardians had dragons?" Jenna asked remembering that back at the Tooth Palace, the Guardians were troubled by what Pitch said about other dragons dying.
"Yes. To protect them – take care of them – and to ensure that they would never lose strength or power if they weren't believed in. just like you never died or faded away for 300 years," Marcus answered with his back still turned to them.
Jenna walked forward to Marcus and gently placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Marcus,"
"I'm sorry as well," Snowmoon sympathized. "I promise you, Marcus that we will do everything we can to help you and the others. You guys promised to help us so we will help you,"
"That's very decent of you two," Marcus gave out a small smile.
The three joined the others at the control panel; things were not looking well. On the globe, lights began dimming out at a fast pace.
"Look how fast they're going out!" Tooth gasped.
"It's fear. He's tipped the balance." Jenna realised.
"My magic isn't as strong as Sandy's was," Marcus said solemnly. "I won't be able to get all children believing in enough time. There has to be something else we can do,"
"Hey, buck up ya sad sacks!" Bunny sympathized trying to encourage them not to give up. He hopped onto the console "We can still turn this around! Easter is tomorrow, and I need your help! I say we pull out all the stops and we get those little lights flickering again!"
"Let's do this," Snowmoon proclaimed.
A while later, the six were ready and were walking through workshop.
North spoke out with confidence, "Bunny is right! As much as it pains me to say, old friend, this time Easter is more important than Christmas!"
"Hey! Did everyone hear that?!" Bunny asked so surprised and delighted at the same time at what North said.
"We must hurry to the Warren. Everyone, to the sleigh!"
Bunny blocked their path to the sleigh. "Oh no, mate. My Warren, my rules. Buckle up everyone," He thumped the floor of the workshop and a massive hole appears, taking the other Guardians, Snowmoon, two elves, and two yetis.
"Shostakovich!" North's voice screeched at having his own words said back at him.
The group is sliding down Bunny's tunnel. Jenna had hopped onto Snowmoon and he was sliding down the tunnel; it was fun. Tooth was hovering along with the pile trying to keep up with them in such a tight space while Bunny was bounding ahead of everyone. The rest land in a heap at the bottom of the tunnel.
"Ah ha ha. Buckle up. Is very funny," North sarcastically said.
"I could agree with more, Bunny," Marcus added in as well as he was lifted up by Snowmoon's tail.
"You really know how to use people's words back," Jenna complimented hopping down.
"Hehe. Welcome to the Warren," Bunny saluted showing the others the wonders of his realm along with some of its inhabitants: egg statues. He sat up alert, turning towards the first tunnel - his ears perked up and his nose twitched. "Something's up," he was right as he saw a horde of Bunny's undecorated eggs come running out of the tunnel, so he gets into a battle-ready stance.
Everyone else does too including the Bunny's Easter Island Sentinel Eggs that spun their faces around to look mean.
Bunny starts battle-screaming first as he rushed forward, followed by the others. They halted in their tracks when Sophie came running out of the tunnel from the inner Warren holding some of the unpainted Easter eggs.
"Sophie?" Jenna asked surprised.
The Guardians laughed nervously as they put away their combat gear so they wouldn't scare Sophie.
"What is she doing here?!" Bunny freaked out.
North pats himself down his coat to try and feel for his last snow globe. "Uhh... snow globe," The Yetis murmured whilst Marcus lashed out at North.
"You couldn't take care of one snow globe?!"
"Hey don't blame me!" North shouted.
"Crikee, somebody do something!" Bunny demanded.
"Well, don't look at me or my dragon, we're invisible, remember?" Jenna held her hands up.
"Elf, elf," Sophie cooed as she saw one of the little elves.
"Don't worry, Bunny," Tooth assured. "I bet she's a ~Fairy Fan~!
Sophie gasps in excitement.
"It's okay, little one," Tooth said trying to assure Sophie that she was in no harm.
"Pretty!"
"Ohh! You know what? I've got something ~for you~! Here it is!" in her hands were small baby teeth all pearly white with a slight sprinkle of red. "Look at all the ~pretty teeth~! ~with little blood and gum on them~!"
Sophie just reacted by runs away and sobbing much to Tooth's confusion.
Jenna and Snowmoon chuckled. "Blood and gums?" Snowmoon asked.
Both North and Marcus just shrugged "When was the last time you guys actually hung out with kids?" Jenna asked with her arms crossed.
Sophie chased more unpainted eggs under an Easter Island rock. "Peek-a-boo!" she scared them and they scatted out in fear.
"We are very busy bringing joy to children! We don't have time..." North remarked whilst Sophie ran around laughing trailing behind several colored butterflies, "…for children,"
Bunny and Tooth looked apprehensive at their statement not impressed by what they said.
"Hm. If one little kid can ruin Easter, then... we're in worse shape than I thought," Jenna stated as she magically made a snowflake and twirled it around her fingers. She made it float about in the air until it went into Bunny's nose.
Magic glittered around Bunny's noise and his eyes. He became happy and joyful. He wanted to have fun.
