Past...
Jack Frost smirked as he saw a Pixie, a bit larger than the rest, but still tiny. The Frost Spirit watched as the creature hummed a tune and the pixie who was with the Pixie King, falling asleep. The boy saw that the Pixie King had wild wind swept green hair and large, almost bug like features.
"Hello, Jack," The Frost Spirit heard.
Having been seen, Jack smiled, coming out of hiding and landed near the creature.
"Who are you?"Jack asked curiously.
"Story," The Pixie King answered grinning, as he bowed dramatically. "The one and only Storyteller, the Pixie King!"
Jack grinned as he realized that his friend wasn't gone. That the Pixie's true form was revealed when he wasn't human.
The Winter Spirit laughed at the revelation and couldn't help but do a joyous backflip.
Jack spent a month with the Pixie King and learned that he hid from the world during the times as a Human. It was to keep from Pitch from finding him. Story never explained why to him, and Jack Frost never bothered to find out. He spent the time as much as he could, before Story could disappear.
Then the fun time ended, as Story just vanished. Jack had later discovered that the Pixie King had become human agian. And soon the fun would start agian.
Present...
Jack smiled sadly as he landed quietly on the Globe. He knew that the Guardians had just finished with the memorial service for the Sandman. The Frost Spirit guessed that Story had had a few memorials before the Guardians realized that the Pixie King would return. Still, Jack had promised to not speak of Story's pixie form. Only Jack and Sandy had seen Story at his weakest.
Baby Tooth was the first one to see Jack, watching from the top of the giant globe, and the tiny Fairy alerted Tooth. The Queen of the Fairies looked up to where Baby Tooth was pointing and she caught sight of a blue blurr disappearing from sight.
Tooth smiled kindly as she realized who it was. She decided that she'd give the boy some space and time to accept that Sandy was gone. But she quietly informed North.
"Jack!" The big man called up. "Come on out."
"Yeah, ya Gumby " Bunny said. "We still have Easter, which is tomorrow!"
"Bunny's right," Jack heard North say, as the boy landed on the floor. "This time Easter is important."
"Did I hear that right?!" Bunny asked Jack incredulously.
The Frost Spirit shrugged and nodded smiling.
"To the Sleigh!"
"Oh no," Bunny said, pushing North slightly. "My Warren, my rules."
"Buckle up mates," Bunny announced. Before the jolly man could say another word, the Pooka tapped his foot and a huge hole opened under them.
"Oh dear," North managed to say, before he dropped.
The Guardians had a nice, and wild ride down into the Warren. Jack and North rode down, the boy trying to get to his feet to surf the way down, but the big man's tumbling always knocked him back onto his bottom. Bunny was surfing the way down, chuckling at North's tumbling and Tooth floated down.
Finally they all reached the bottom and North raised a finger.
"Buckle up," The Jolly man chuckled. "Is funny."
"Welcome to my Warren," Bunny said, proudly gesturing to his home.
Suddenly the Pooka's ears went up and the Frost Spirit saw Bunny abruptly pull out his boomerangs. The Guardians quickly followed the example, each pulling out their weapons and in full battle mode, started to rush to meet the intruder.
Only to see a little blonde headed girl come bouncing into view, just giggling and chasing after the unpainted eggs.
"Sophie?" Jack asked confused as to how she was here. The Frost Spirit then saw Nyfe fly into view and started making angry noises at North.
"Oh," The Russian Jolly man muttered as he realized that one of his snowglobes was gone. Bunny also realized this and he facepalmed.
"Bunny!" Sophie called out excitedly. He watched her run or bounce towards him and she hugged him. "Fluffy!"
"What are we going to do?" Bunny asked trying to get help.
"I think that I know," Tooth offered. She fluttered over to the girl and saw Sophie look up at her.
"Look!" Tooth said cheerfully, as she showed the girl her treasured items.
Sophie looked at what was in the pretty Fairy's hand and saw teeth, with blood on them.
Jack chuckled slightly as the girl ran away from Tooth squealing in fear. Sophie hid behind Bunny, who was looking confused and flustered.
"Man," The Winter Spirit commented while creating a special snowflake. "You guys call yourselves Guardians, and yet you don't know what kids want."
"We are busy trying to take care of children," North retorted. "That we don't have time for them."
"If one kid can ruin Christmas," Jack said mischievously, pausing to blow the snowflake at Bunny. "Then you guys are in trouble."
The snowflake hit Bunny in the face, vanishing as the Pooka saw the world in a new light. He looked down at the little girl bouncing around him and he smiled down at her.
"Want to help paint eggs?" He asked her.
Sophie looked up at him and grinned.
