"Hurry up already Jackie or we're gonna be late," Bunny called from the living room. He couldn't help but smile. For the life of him he couldn't figure out what took so long for Jack to get ready.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," Jack said as he entered from the hallway "keep your shirt on I'm ready," Jack said grabbing his staff.
"I ain't wearing a shirt mate," Bunny replied with a small smile. Jack only rolled his eyes as he returned the smile.
"Whatever, I thought you said we were gonna be late," Jack asked as he crossed the room to where he now stood by Bunny.
"Finally," Bunny said drawing Jack into a tight embrace as he prepared to open a tunnel to the pole. With a couple taps of his foot they were off.
The couple arrived a few minutes later in the globe room of the pole to find the other three already there.
"Ah Jack, Bunny you made it," North boomed the moment the two arrived.
"Sorry we're late mate, Jackie over here took forever ta get ready," Bunny said as he let go of Jack. At first Jack shot Bunny a glare for blaming there tardiness on him before an idea popped into his head.
"What can I say I was distracted," Jack said with a suggestive smirk.
Bunny's eye grew wide out of surprise from Jack's statement. He had been expecting Jack to say anything but that. He pressed his ears back slightly in embarrasment as the other guardian's fought to suppress their laughter.
"You are so gonna pay for that one Frostbite," whispered Bunny into Jack's ear.
"Oh I look forward to it," Jack said in the same suggestive tone though this time at a lower volume. If Bunny had something further to say on the matter he didn't get the chance to voice it for in just in that moment North silenced any further comments by clearing his throat.
"As entertaining as dis maybe ve have other matters to discuss aside from what Bunny and Jack do in their private time," North said causing the couple to blush voliently. This in turned caused another round of giggles from the others.
After they we're finally able to calm down the Guardians gathered around the large wooden table that sat in the center of the meeting room. Following the usual pattern of their monthly meeting each gave a report of how their work was. Each Guardian save Jack gave a full and detail report for the sole purpose of bringing the youngest up to speed. For once Jack paid carful attention to each wanting to learn what had transpired in his absence. Though he knew had anything major had happen Bunny would have informed him immediately he still wanted to makshiver he was fully aware of what was going on with the other.
The meeting finally concluded itself after about an hour and a half due to the fact that this was the only meeting that was every really taken seriously. Now that they had finished with their official buisness it was time for them to relax and enjoy eachother's company. Jack once again playing catch up on the other's lives outside othiereir work. North talked a little of the designs he had created for Christmas next month. Tooth about her travels collecting teeth. Sandy about dreams. Bunny didn't say much already having caught Jack up on what he had done during the last few months. It was when they all felt that Jack had been properly caught up on the past months events that thing fell into their usual form. North poking fun of Easter just to get a rise from Bunny. Tooth awing over Jack's teeth. While Sandy watched it all.
"Hey guys," Tooth said drawing all of their attention to her.
"Yeah Tooth," Jack asked.
"I had a though, it's been awhile since we've done anything as a family," Tooth said getting a few curious looks from the others.
"What do ya mean we get together at least once a month," Bunny saidwondering where she was going with this.
"I meant outside of our Guardian meetings," Tooth said rolling her eyes a little "when was the last time we went out and did something as a family," Tooth asked. Bunny opened his mouth to speak before quickly closing it again. He couldn't remember when was the last time they had a family outing?
"That's my point it has been forever since we had any kind of family time that wasn't in some way related to our work as Guardians," Tooth said.
"Vhat is dat you suggesting Tooth," North asked not sure what the fairy was about to suggest.
"I was thinking that we all take a couple of days this coming summer to spend time as a family," Tooth said getting a little excited.
"You are suggesting a vacation," Jack said with a slight smile. He liked the idea of spending time with the other as a family. After all he had to admit Tooth had a point they hadn't spent too much time out side of their work with one and other at least not as a group.
"Yes exactly," Tooth answered with an even larger smile.
"It sounds like it would be fun," Jack said turning to Bunny with an eager smile "what do you say Cottontail." Bunny took one look at his mate's smile and any arguments that he could of had faded. He could never say no to that smile especially if he knew it would make him happy.
"Ah what the hell why not," Bunny said shooting a look over to North "you in North," the man let out a laugh.
"Da, it would be fun no," North said taking in the smile that grew on both Tooth and Jack's faces "Sandy how bout you," North asked turning to the little golden man. Sandy gave two thumbs up ashiss way of agreeing with them.
"So it's settled this summer we will go on a vacation," Tooth asked tdo double check that they all understand. They nodded which cause Tooth to get all excited.
Before Tooth could go off on what they should do Bunny shot North a look as if to say 'This is gonna be interesting' to which North only nodded.
Author's note:
Sorry it took so long to update. The last week was a little crazy. That and it seemed that I had a headache that didn't want to leave. Anyways writing this chapter made me realize I am better suited for the more angsty chapters, but I wanted to write something with a bit of fluff so that is part of the hold up. Anywho I am leavinga you up with the vote as to what the Guardians should do for a vacation. Well I guess it would be more of sending me suggestions rather than a vote cause at the moment I'm not sure what they should do. Anyway leave me a review with your suggesting or send me a PM. Until next time...
