It wasn't hard for Tooth to prevent Bunny from making carrot soup out of Jack. After all, in the 3 years that the winter spirit had been a Guardian, all those fights, pranks and bickering were something normal between the Big Five.
"All right, you two: enough is enough" she said while giving them a look a mother will give her children.
Bunny and Jack stopped almost immediately. Jack then took notice that Tooth´s face was red as a tomato.
"Um… Tooth, are you okay?" he asked concerned.
Before she could give him a response, Amanda cut in.
"Tooth? I thought your name was Tiana?"
Jack mentally kicked himself. Thankfully Tooth responded.
"It is. Tooth is just my nickname, Amanda"
"Ohhh" was the girl only response.
There was an awkward silence between everyone. It was then when Broody and Jody decided to break it.
"Okay guys! Lunch is ready, remember to wash your hands" Jody said cheerfully.
"And remember to always pick something healthy. We don't want any incidents with food" Broody said with a bored tone.
"Man in Moon! He really is still mad about the hacking" North whispered.
"Well, that's Broody. He looooves to see that everything goes his way" Jamie said as everyone started walking towards the picnic tables.
"Ahhh, so he is a control freak?" Jack asked.
"Control freak? He´s the king of the control freaks!" the kid answered.
"So… let me get this straight: since he is so used to be in control, the hacking is the first time someone has actually gone against him?!" Jack said.
"Yes. And good thing you did, because I don't think anyone was going to stand this S.A.W. Every year they put another safety rule that kills us." Pippa added.
"Man, you guys should have told me this 3 years ago!" Jack said a bit shocked.
The kids looked kind of guilty.
"Well… we wanted to tell you Jack, but since you told us that you and the summer spirit don't get along, we thought that if we told you, she would make a BQ out of you" Monty said.
"Kids, believe us. Jack vould have still gone. After all, is his job to vring fun" North said.
"We know were just worried" Cupcake said. To everyone surprise, Jack let out a small chuckle.
"Guys, listen, I know you were worried, but next time tell me when something is REALLY boring, all right?" he said with a reassuring face.
"Does that include school?" the twins asked. Jack frowned.
"I know you kids hate that, but believe me, you will need it. Well, at least some of it" and with that said Jack went to get his lunch.
Tooth laughed a bit.
"He really knows when to become serious, doesn't he?" she said.
The rest of the day was extremely enjoyable. Jack, Bunny and North crafting works were the most acclaimed by everyone.
"This is almost like making snowflakes" Jack said to them as he made a snowflake origami.
"You make it look to easy, Jack" Tooth said. She was struggling to make an elephant.
"It´s not hard Tooth. Here, let me show you" he said as he got closer to her.
"Look, you are doing fine, but you need to singly press here so you can give it a better shape" Jack said as he demonstrated the steps.
"You mean like this?" Tooth asked, while repeating what Jack said.
"Yeah!" he said with a grin. Tooth smiled.
"Now you just have to pull this side here to finish" Jack instructed.
"I can't. It's stuck!" Tooth said while trying not to break to elephant.
"Let me help you" Jack said as he grabbed Tooth's hand. The two blushed at the contact.
"And… there you go!" he said a bit awkwardly.
"Thanks" was Tooth's only response. The conversation she had with Rosi in the morning was playing again in her brain.
It was then when the two noticed that all of their friends were staring at them looking expectant.
"What?" the two said as they got apart from each other, all while blushing. Everyone else sighted. They were really expecting something big to happen.
With the corner of her eye, Tooth watched Amanda reluctantly give a dollar to Rosi, who accepted the money while giving her friend an "I told you so" face.
