Chapter Twenty Eight

Pitch looked down on them. He couldn't believe how foolish and incompetent they were behaving. If he wanted to he could just swoop down and ambush them but he didn't. This was going to be Pitch's gift to them. Their last moments with Jack Frost right before Pitch would take control of the boy in a few days would be joyous and filled with laughter so that when they'd remember Jack they would remember how much they'd miss him once Pitch was done with him.

Jack was only beginning his recovering stage and he was acting like a complete idiot. Well, more of an idiot than he already was but it doesn't matter Pitch had made a conclusion that Jack was acting stupid. He thought that the punctual tooth fairy would be more careful but no she let Jack become this raving blockhead who would last like this for the entire day.

"OH MY GOSH!"

"What? What is it?"

"MY HANDS!"

"What about them?"

"SOMEONE STOLE THEM!"

North and Sandy chuckled at Jack while Bunnymund face palmed. He had only been here for an hour and he was already annoyed. "Jack no one stole your hands they're right there." Tooth reassured him. She should really be worrying but right now she was amused at Jack's behavior.

"A-Are you sure Tooth?"

"Yes."

"But these don't even look like my hands!"

Jack looked at his pale hands. There were a few scars on his palms but other than that they were fine. A light bulb seemed to go off in Jack's drugged head and he motioned North to come over to him.

"North," his voice was over a whisper but North was leaning close enough to hear him.

"Yes?"

"I know who stole my hands,"

North decided to play along with Jack who at the moment had the mental capacity of an elf.

"Alright Jack, who stole your hands?" he joked.

"Bunny did."

"What?"

"He stole my hands because he's jealous!"

North and Tooth were in hysterics along with Sandy but Bunnymund was not amused.

"Bunnymund stole my hands! Everyone hide their hands or else he'll steal your hands too!"

"Now listen here Frostbite, I-"

"He also stole Pitch's eyebrows and that's why he doesn't have any!"

Tooth clasped her mouth because she was laughing so hard she could barely stay in the air. That last even statement made Bunnymund crack a smile which he tried to hide. The sound of North's loud laughter bellowed throughout the room and Sandy looked like he was going to die laughing.

It was good to have a nice laughing fit together. They had all gone through so much together and they had all emotionally suffered seeing their newest member go through all of the drama and pain Pitch was causing him. None of them have ever had this much of a good time together since the day Jack had become a guardian. Everyone had forgotten that they still needed to think of a plan to stop Pitch before time was up but they were too busy having a fun time to even notice that that thought had slipped out of their minds.

"Whoa. What's going on?"

"What do you mean?"

"The sky,"

"You mean the ceiling?"

"Why is it swirling?"

"Jack its not swirling you're just seeing things."

"But its so colorful!"

Jack smiled before giggling to himself. He hiccuped once before looking over at Tooth who was fluttering by his side. His eyes squinted at her before tilting his head.

"How do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"That thing,"

"What thing?"

"W-With the stuff."

"What?"

Sandy turned to Tooth and pointed to her wings.

"Oh! You mean my wings?"

"Oh my gosh are you a bird?"

Tooth giggled once more.

"Well Jack, I-"

"Jack is not here right now. Please leave a message after the beep. Beeeep."

North chuckled at Jack. He never knew Jack could be so fun even when he was loopy on medication.

"Okay here is a message for Jack. Tell him-"

"Meow."

"Excuse me?"

"Meow meow meow meow."

Pitch continued to spy on them. He was starting to get annoyed with Jack more than he's ever been with before. If only Jack's mind was weak enough to take over completely. Right now it was hanging by a thread but that thread needed to be half its width. Besides, if the guardians saw Pitch right now their anger and rage against him would mean trouble for him. The boogeyman was already losing to Sandy enough and he did not need to be beaten to a pulp by four furious magical beings that had vanquished him with the help of a teenager a few months ago.

Jack was beginning to bat the bell on the tip of an elf's hat as if it was a cat toy. He was like a three year old trapped inside the body of an immortal teenager who was pretending he was a cat.

"Wait I can't see I need my glasses!" he yelled out. Sandy picked up the Beagle Puss glasses that they had given to Jack and he slid them onto the boy's face.

The fake moustache fibers on the glasses tickled Jack's nose and he sneezed causing a small gush of snow to blow open one of the windows. Looking at the snow, Jack smiled in wonder as he watched the snowflakes come down. His eyes marveled at them as they drifted through the air. Bunnymund shivered at the fresh snow that had just blown in and moved to the window to close it but Jack's hand stopped him.

"No don't close it the little snow babies will be locked out!"

"They're not snow babies they're just snow flakes and you can always make more."

"More what?"

"Snowflakes."

"What are snow flakes?"

Bunnymund face palmed. Why did he even bother when Jack was in this state?

"The snow babies."

"I can make snow babies?"

"Yes."

"Can I make non snow babies?"

Sandy was having a silent laughing fit to himself. Bunnymund wondered if Jack would even remember this conversation and before he could respond, Jack asked something else.

"Bunny,"

"What now?'

"You're ears,"

"What about them?"

"They make me sad."

"What? Why?"

"They're so big."

"That's because I'm a bunny."

"Not you're not, you're like a kangaroo with big ears."

"I am not!"

"Yeees yes you are."

"Am not!"

"Noorrth Bunny is lying to me!" he whined.

Bunnymund just shook his head and walked away not putting up with having an argument with a delirious teenager.

"Oh! Wait guys wait wait wait wait wait!"

"Yes Jack?" Tooth answered.

"What's my middle name?"

There was a moment of silence. The moon had just told Jack his first and last name. He didn't say anything about his middle name.

"I, I think its Overland." Tooth spoke up.

"Yes, I think it is." North added. He had seen Jack's name many times when he would be checking the Naughty List and there was never a year where Jack was on the Nice List.

"Is that really my middle name?"

"Yes. Overland is your middle name."

"Why not something like Underlake? I think that would be more fitting."

There was another moment of silence. Jack most likely wouldn't remember what he was saying now but that doesn't mean the guardians wouldn't. He had just make a joke about his own death when he fell under that lake and drowned and he didn't even know it because he was drugged. Well, there was a chance that he had frozen to death under the lake but either way he fell under the lake and died but he saved his sister in doing so and that was why MiM gave him another chance at life.

The awkward silence was broken when Jack suddenly broke into song.

"F is for friends who do stuff together U is for you and me! N is for anywhere anytime at all down here with my best buddies!"

A small smile made its way on to each of the guardians' faces. Even though it may be the medication talking, it was good to hear that Jack has fun with them instead of having fun by himself. North glanced at the clock when he noticed how dark it was getting.

"Oh! Its getting late. Tooth and Sandy should probably get to work soon."

"Oh that's right!" Tooth added. She didn't really want to leave right now and neither did Sandy, but working during the night was part of their job.

"Noooo do they have to go?" Jack asked in a slurred tone.

"Jack, we have to otherwise we will lose believers and the children will get nightmares from Pitch."

"Noo because Sandy has ninety nine problems and Pitch isn't one!"

A humorous smirk made its way onto Sandy's face.
