Chapter 14

Echo's POV

I gasped and froze. I totally didn't expect that. Stealthy Santa.

"Dude! How'd you get behind us without us hearing you!" Jack said-shouted.

"Well… he's Santa Clause. Stealth is like, his specialty. If it wasn't stealthy he'd scare the crap out of some poor little kid." I widened my eyes and nodded sarcastically.

Jack made an irritated noise and North and I grinned.

I'll admit, it wasn't my best move. But I was having an off day, so…

Toothiana gasped and assaulted my mouth. After the initial shock of having someone's hands in my mouth, I was just like, "Yeah, that's fine. WHATEVER… You have permission to stick your hands in my mouth."

North barked, "Tooth! Hands out of mouth!" and she pulled back, grinning shyly. "You're teeth are as white as Jack's!" she said in a very quiet tone, not quite meeting my eyes.

I butted her with my shoulder. "What, suddenly shy? Dude, ya just stuck your hands in my mouth. You can consider us friends. Though I sincerely hope you washed your hands recently."

*Guilty look*

"Ew."

Toothiana shrugged bashfully. "Sorry…"

I shook my head. "That's a no-no Toothiana. Just no."

"Tooth."

"Not Toothiana?"

"No. Tooth."

"But Toothiana is so pretty!"

"People will think we're not friends if you call me Toothiana!"

"Well screw them Toothiana!"

The other Guardians snorted. Toothiana looked thoughtful and then she shrugged.

"I still like Tooth better."

Kangaroo spoke up and said, "You're lucky Sheila. She usually talks at hyper-speed."

I stepped forward. "OK, I'm so so so sorry if this offends you but… are you a giant talking Kangaroo?"

Kangaroo's whole demeanor changed and he looked shocked beyond belief the he roared, "Jack told ya ta say that! Didn't he!" at the same time as Jack who was clutching his sides and shouting, "I didn't even have to tell her to say that! This is great!"

I looked at him expectantly. "Well?"

Kangaroo was fuming. "Well what Sheila?"

"Are you a giant talking Kangaroo?"

"NO!"(Kangaroo) "YES!" (Jack)

"I'm getting mixed signals here. Because I'm really thinking you're a giant talking Kangaroo."

"Not a Kangaroo Sheila."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

North, Sandy and Tooth were all restraining giggles- or in Sandy's cause, mime laughter.

I shook my head sadly and looked at Jack and loudly 'whispered', "I think we has a concussion or something. He's definitely a Kangaroo."

The whole room erupted in laughter. North's booming laughter was all you could really here though. He was going all out Santa belly laugh.

"I'm a POOKA!"

My eyes widened and I flew upwards a few inches without me noticing. IN fact, I rarely did, but all of the Guardians were taking in the fact that I was floating, and my bandages. Nobody noticed the one on my neck. Jack hadn't noticed because that one simply blends into my skin. You had to be looking for a bandage on my neck. That's what I thought, at least.

"I knew a Pooka!"

"What?!"

"Yeah! Well, not personally. I get the whole world's memories, except for immortals, including a few extinct species like werewolves and vampires, and I also got Pooka memories. I knew there was one left because I know the exact number of a species at any given time but I didn't know who the Pooka was. Now I do." I smiled at him. "I can give you the memories if you like."

Not-Kangaroo's mouth opened and he stuttered "Wh-what?"

"I can give people or animals memories. I can even store them in inanimate objects. I make a duplicate which I give away, and I keep the original memory."

"Could I…?"

"Yeah, sure. It'll work better if I transfer the memories into something of yours. Sometimes giving people the amount of memories I'm going to give will cause problems like sickness or death. It's never happened before because Accalia knows everything I know (and more, I added in my mind) and I've never had a reason to give Pitch a memory.

Not-Kangaroo handed me a beautifully engraved boomerang and I ran the tips of my fingers over the strong wood. Oak my mind supplied. I smiled and closed my eyes, since I knew that my eyes would change colors and glow, which disturbed some people.

Millions upon millions of memories flicked through my head and I smiled as the history of the Pooka race flitted through my mind's eye. I saw grassy fields and gorgeous Pooka women –more gorgeous than you'll ever be, the part of my mind whispered. I cringed-, tall thundering waterfalls, encounters with dragons and hydra and pegesi, and then the war. The harsh, cruel war that wiped out the Pooka people- all but one. Lastly, I saw the memory of the last thing the very last Pooka saw- a esteemed Pooka called E. Aster Bunnymund. Bunnymund was still across the clearing when he closed his eyes and the second to last Pooka's world slipped into darkness.

"Enjoy!" I whispered as I handed him the boomerang then proceeded to pass out.

Alright! So, i hope you liked it, but first- i won't be updating at all this weekend because i'm going to Ocean City for race for the cure and i'm spending the weekend there. I've never actually been before.

second- i'm going to start updating once a week, twice at most because i haven't really gotten too much feedback -with the exception of the one who writes the ones. she/he is AMAZING. you should all be like her and review like, every chapter=D that would make me happy-, so unless i get more reviews (aka encouragement) from the readers, i'm going to start goin snail-pace and checking it over a lot. because i'm thinking you guys aren't liking it. so chapters will come slowly from now on (unless i get more reviews!)

Just review if you want to be able to read more than one new chapter a week. Seriously, you can just say 'good' or 'i like' or whatever, doesn't have to even be a sentence.

Since views have been *steadily* decreasing, i'm going to assume it's been getting bad, so just PM or review and tell me if it's boring you! I'm going to put in some actual action soon. Right now it's just fluff. I swear! Just review and prove your loyalty!
