A/N Okay, sorry for the long wait, but because of my new free time, the chapters just kept coming! I just kept writing and writing and just forgot to post…WHOOPS!

Bunny: Really? *Looks nervously at Anya* Hey…shelia…I got a surprise for you.

Anya: Really? What?

Bunny: *Pulls out random cute Anime boy character*

Anya: *Squeals and locks boy in closet*

Me: *Shakes head* Thanks to the following people:

WALRUSvsUSA: You're right, but –kun and –chan are also used with younger kids. Thanks for the review!

storygirl99210: *Laughs nervously* You guys are going to hate me in later chapters…Thanks for the review!

Katyuana: Yeah, I was hoping so. Thanks for the review!

Laken: Really? I thought it was obvious…guess not…and he did, it was a month. Thanks for the review!

toothfairy17: Thanks! And thanks for the review!

koyboy: Okay 1: Thanks for the review. 2: I watched the video and I'm sorry, but I can't do that. It's just too dark for me to do. I liked the music, but I just can't write a story about that. Sorry.

Mai'shardstyle: *Blushes and faints* *Anya and Bunny look down* Bunny: Wow… Anya: *Giggles* If you didn't kill her with praise, she'd probably thank you for the review.

Kelly Hizuri: Anya? *Looks at Anya* What you change your name for? Anya: *Shrugs* I wanted to. Me: Oi…I'm still calling you Anya. Anya: Whatever…

Okay, you guys are lacking in in reviews lately. Do I need to start putting more cliff hangers? Well, the suspense starts back up in this chapter, so enjoy! I don't own Rise of the Guardians!

"They've been asleep for the past hour," Nicole told Jack as they walked to the room, "But then again, are you surprised? Who could sleep with their family dead in the same room?"

Jack sighed and opened the door. Nicole and Jack froze, "What the-!" Jack yelled, "Bunny! Did you plant flowers in my room again!?"

"No! Why the heck would I do that when ya froze my Warren solid last time I did?" Bunny's voice came.

"Then why the heck does it look like spring puked in my room?!" Jack yelled over the railing.

Tooth flew up and looked in the room, "Pretty," she said, "But Bunny couldn't have done it. He's been with Sophie and Alice all day."

"Then how the heck are flowers growing in the North Pole?" Nicole asked deadpanned.

Everyone soon arrived in the room. Sophie and Alice giggled and ran into the room picking flowers, "Whoa…" Bunny said, "It does look like spring puked in here."

Jamie, Megan, Pippa, Caleb, Monty, and Claude entered the room, "Um, Uncle Jack," Jamie said, "There are more flowers around the bed than anything else."

"What?" North asked.

Nicole's eyes narrowed, "What does this mean?" Kim asked, "I thought the Spirit of Spring died years ago."

"Huh?" Jack asked, "There's a Spirit of Spring?"

Bunny hit his forehead, "Oi…yes," he said, "Haruhi (1) Haru (2), she died about two centuries ago. Easter has been the start of spring since then."

Jack blinked, "How'd she die?" he asked.

"We don't know," Tooth said, "Manny just said she died protecting someone."

Kim went wide eyed and Nicole groaned, "I hate my dad right now…" she said.

"What?" Caleb asked.

Nicole gestured to the bed, "Meet Haruhi's children," she said.

Tooth gasped in realization, "Wait, but that would make them…"

"Half human," Nicole said walking over, "Like me."

Everyone turned to the kids on the bed, "This also explains Pitch's power up," Nicole said, "He was feeding off Sakura and Hikaru's fear of the dead family in the house. When immortals fear Pitch gets a serious power up."

"Oh dear," Heather said.

"Obviously, Pitch wasn't expecting Frost in Japan for a while, or else he would've moved them," Nicole stated, "That…or my father's playing Matchmaker…"

Jack narrowed his eyes at Nicole, "I'm going to pretend that last one isn't an option," he stated.

Nicole rolled her eyes, "So, these twins are the new Spirits of Spring?" Bunny asked.

"No…" Nicole said sarcastically, "Their mother was just the Spirit of Spring and they're the Spirits of Summer…honestly, do you have a brain at all?"

Bunny glared at Nicole ya really are perfect for Frostbite… Nicole walked over to Sakura and Hikaru just as they started to wake up, "Nicole-sama (3)?" Sakura asked sleepily.

Nicole blinked slightly shocked by the honorific, but picked Sakura up. Jack did the same with Hikaru as he yawned, "I think I get what Manny's trying to do," Caleb whispered to his friends smirking.

"I'll go fix something for them to eat," Tooth said flying off.

Sakura was still sucking on her thumb as she lay on Nicole. Hikaru was rubbing his left eye as he lay on Jack. Jack and Nicole looked at each other as if asking what they do now. Kim sighed. Sakura and Hikaru may see them as adults, but they were just teenagers, "Why don't you two go down to the Workshop and see if the yetis can spare a few toys for the twins," she said.

Nicole and Jack shrugged in unison and did as Kim suggested, "Wow, they're blind," Jamie stated.

"You're one to talk," Monty said then flinched when Jamie glared at him, "Shutting up."

Sophie and Alice giggled, "Does this make Nicole our aunt?" Sophie asked.

"Not yet," North said, "But hopefully before you're an adult."

"And Sakura and Hikaru our cousins!" Sophie was getting excited.

"I guess so, ankle-bitter," Bunny said smiling at Sophie.

Sophie clapped happily, "Yay!"

Sophie began jumping up and down with Alice happily. Everyone smiled at the little girls.

Nicole and Jack watched as Sakura played with a Barbie doll and Hikaru played with a race car. Nicole and Jack both had their arms crossed, but they didn't really notice, "So, if we can keep Sakura and Hikaru happy, Pitch's power should go back to how it was before," Jack asked.

Nicole nodded, but didn't say anything. Jack sighed, "Nicole-"

"I don't want to hear anything from you," Nicole said, "You have no idea what I'm going through."

Jack closed his eyes, "I know," Jack said, "But I'm saying this from experience with Pitch. He'll still come after you even if you don't want anything to do with this," Nicole looked at Jack, "You being Manny's daughter only increases this."

Nicole looked away, "You think I don't know that?" Nicole asked, "But I can't hurt Kishi."

Jack sighed. He guessed her reasoning was justified. Besides, if they kept Sakura and Hikaru happy then they should be able to defeat Pitch just as easily as last time.

Pitch was throwing things around his lair yelling that he was so close to bringing both the Guardians and Manny's bloodline down for good. Kishi watched from the sidelines with an annoyed looked, "Master," Kishi stated in Japanese, "There's still a way for you to win. You're overlooking something."

Pitch froze, "I am?" he asked then smirked, "Please, go on."

Kishi pushed himself off the wall, "It was because of Jack Frost and his nephew and his friends that you were defeated last time, correct?" Kishi asked.

Pitch's eyes narrowed, but nodded, "Look at the big picture, Master," Kishi said, "There's a piece of the puzzle that can be used in your favor."

Pitch seemed to be in thought. Suddenly, Pitch's eyes widened and he chuckled lowly before he started full out laughing, "Kishi, my boy, you are evil," he said once his laugh was through.

Kishi leaned on the wall again, "That's the way you made me, Master," he said.

Pitch chuckled before he laughed out loud again and it went outside his hole again.

Nicole shivered along with Jack. Jack was shocked. He never shivered. Nicole and Jack glanced at each other, "Something's about to happen," Nicole whispered.

"And it must be bad because I shivered," Jack whispered back.

"Uncle Jack," Jack turned to Jamie, "I have a bad feeling about something."

Sophie was hiding behind her older brother and nodded in agreement. Nicole's eyes narrowed, "I don't like this," she stated.

"What's going on?" North asked walking up with the rest of the Guardians and friends.

"Something's going to happen," Jack said, "Something extremely bad."

"Worse than that Easter?" Tooth asked shocked.

Bunny shivered in remembrance, "Extremely," Nicole said, "Jack shivered."

Sandy showed shock along with everyone else, "Oh dear," Jane said.

"Megan, Caleb, Claude," Jack said, "I don't care how you do it, but you need to get your families here. I'm not taking any chances."

Megan, Caleb, and Claude looked at each other than nodded. Sakura tugged on Nicole's white skirt. The teenager looked at the Spirit of Spring, "What wrong?" she asked in Japanese.

Hikaru walked up beside his sister, "Nothing to worry about," Nicole said; they could risk Sakura and Hikaru starting to fear.

Jack picked the twins up, "How about we go play a game?" he asked smiling.

Sakura and Hikaru smiled and nodded. Jack turned to Nicole and she nodded. Jack flew into his room, which was still covered in spring. Nicole's fingers gripped the sleeve of her shirt. Pitch was planning something. She just knew it. Pitch Nicole thought with hatred.

A/N Okay! The suspense has returned! Now…I'm just going to stay in Bunny's safe house until I feel I won't get killed for later chapters. *Runs into safe house.*
