Val tossed and turned, she was having a nightmare. In this Nightmare she was somehow turned back to her human self but wearing her Pink jacket she has as cupid. She was in a forest setting on the middle of a very long bridge that was high up. The wind picked up making the bridge sway. She almost fell but grabbed onto the side when she opened her eyes she realized she was looking over the edge. She froze up to afraid to move.

Pitch was walking through the room when he found Val sleeping. That stupid girl should know better than to just fall asleep in his lair. With all the nightmares around did she really think she'd have a peaceful nap? He went up to her.

"Val" he said. She didn't wake up.

"Valeraine!" He went to shake her and got hit in the face.

Val was still clinging to the bridge in her nightmare she went to move and the bridge gave out making her fall to the river below. Snapping out of the night mare when she heard her name being screamed she without realizing punched Pitch in the face.

"Ow! What the bloody hell was that for!?"

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" She didn't realize Pitch was there. She felt bad for punching him but oh well she couldn't undo it now.

"You should know better than to sleep in an area filled with Nightmares."

"Oh well, that's my problem and I didn't mean to fall asleep."

"Be more careful next time."

"Awww, Pitch you care" She smiled. Pitch sighed and started walking away.

"It's day time now. If you have work you better get it done instead of annoying me" He said before he was gone. Val got up and headed to the entrance. She really didn't want to leave she was enjoying her visit but she did need to get work done today. There was also the fact that the other Guardians would notice if she went missing for too long. She left and squinted at the brightness of the sun. It was overly bright compared to Pitch's lair. She took off on her cloud getting her cross bow ready. With one shot and perfect aim she hit her first target for the day, a young girl who believed in true love.

"There ya are. Jack has been looking for you." Bunny said looking up ant Cupids cloud. She looked down to see Bunny passing by.

"Hi Bun Bun" Cupid said.

"Bun Bun?"

"Yep that's your new nickname. Thanks for the info. I'll go find him" She went to find Jack and bunny shrugged and went back to his work. He didn't hang with the Cupid that much but she was cool in his book.

Cupid searched for a while. Along the way she shot arrows at her targets for the day. Jack didn't seem to be around. This meant she had to pay a visit to North. Maybe he was at the pole? She put her hood up when she hit the northern snow. It was so cold and windy by North's place. How did he live here? She went in the usual way and was greeted by Phil the yeti. He rambled something she couldn't understand then Jack came into view.

"Val! Where have you been girl?" he asked. "Thanks Phil" He said to the yeti.

"Around. I've been busy with love lately." It wasn't a full lie. "So Bun Bun said you wanted to see me?"

"Yeah I was going to see if you wanted to go sledding yesterday. It's alright though we can plan a day when you're not so busy"

"We better I love sledding"

"Where are the cookies?!" North's voice echoed Tooth and sandy came into the room shortly after. Bunny popped up through one of his tunnels.

"Are we having a meeting?" Val asked.

"Nah, just a little get together" Bunny said.

"We were all thinking of having monthly get togethers to catch up on everything" Tooth added.

"It shall be held the middle of each month unless a holiday gets in way." North said.

"Sweet I'm in" Cupid said. It was a good idea to get together with everyone and discuss what was going on and stuff. She would leave everything with Pitch out however.

"The queen of hearts has agreed" Jack said. Val laughed.

"Queen of hearts? I'd have to be evil to be her wouldn't I?

"You're a nice version and who said you weren't evil? You're just evil in a good way." Jack joked around.

"May I ask how you always carry this around?" North asked picking up cupid's crossbow. "It's a bit intense for a cupid."

"North please be careful with that" Her warning was too late. North accidently shot an arrow and it hit Bunny. He looked over to Tooth and was in love with her instantly

"Oh no" Cupid face palmed.

"Oops" North said. Bunny started to hit on Tooth.

"Hey beautiful. Did anyone ever tell ya your teeth sparkle like Pretty diamonds? "

Jack burst out in laughter. Sandy was trying to hold his laughter in. North looked between Bunny, Tooth, and the crossbow.

"Powerful" He said.

"I know!" Tooth said excitedly. "Oh but um Bunny I don't see us like that"

"Give me one second." Val said getting a different kind of arrow out. She never used these arrows much but if she really needed to she used them to reverse love. She took her crossbow back and Shot Bunny with it. In a few seconds he snapped out of it.

"What the hell. Be careful where you point that thing North"

"I'm not used to crossbows" North defended himself. The rest of the hangout went more smoothly. Jack froze an elf that tried to steal his cocoa. Sandy made a big golden Christmas tree with his sand. He pouted when some elves ran into it making it fall. The elves fell asleep. Tooth and Bunny didn't talk about the incident. Baby tooth stayed by Jacks side like she always did. North ate his plate of cookies offering if anyone else wanted one. Bunny Talked about Easter and how he had a lot of work to do before the day, His holiday was next after all. All in all Val had a nice time with her friends. When it got dark out she took her leave much like the others. It would be a good idea to check up on Pitch kitty.

It was dark in Val's place. In the distance she saw golden eyes.

"There you are kitty" She said. Pitch kitty walked up to her and rubbed his head on her leg. She smiled, Pitch kitty missed her. "You are just too cute you know that?" She kept the lights off in her place so Pitch kitty could roam where ever he wanted. She looked out a window wondering if Pitch kitty needed to go out and cause nightmares. If she sent him out on his own would he do what he needed then come back? Pitch did mention he was untrained. But he was a cat, and cats don't really need training. Pitch kitty jumped up on the window with a piece of paper in his mouth.

"What's that?" she took the paper. It was folded neatly and had her name on the front written in script. She opened it and read the note. It was a message from Pitchy telling her to meet him in his lair tomorrow night. She stared at the note after she was finished reading it.

"You were in my house! Creeper." She smiled. He wanted her to see him tomorrow at night? But He works at night. This was going to be interesting. It also made her feel a feeling she knew all too well. She was happy to know he wanted to see her excited even. She liked Pitch but she was starting to feel love towards him. This scared her to a point. Fear and love? Did that really go together? She put the note away and petted Pitch kitty. She would visit Pitch tomorrow night to see what he wanted.
