A/N: I did update twice today, so you might want to check and see if you read last chapter.
Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention it last chapter, but I know some of you were confused about Jack not writing Bunny a letter. This was on purpose: Tooth got a poem, Sandy a letter, Bunny a conversation (+cuddles), and North . . . well, you'll find out :).
Enjoy the chapter!

"Jack! There you are!" North leaped out of his chair and wrapped his arms around the winter spirit in a hug. He ignored Tooth and Bunny's laughter in the background, and released Jack from the hold. The boy stumbled to the floor, gasping for breath, but the Cossack wasn't paying attention to that.
"We have been waiting for you! Come, we want to show you newest meeting room!"
The newest Guardian nodded his acceptance, trying to bring air back into his lungs while glaring dangerously at Bunny who was still chuckling.
North led the small group through the hallways and past busy yetis. Tooth was buzzing around, shooting off orders to her fairies while still holding a conversation with Sandy. Jack and Bunny were currently having a staring contest, the winter spirit walking backward behind North in order to maintain eye contact. The big man was laughing as he listened to the duo's insults as they tried to make each other blink.
"Yer as likely to win this as a turtle is racing a cheetah."
"Of course, since I'm obviously the cheetah in this analogy."
"That was a terrible comeback."
"You're a terrible comeback."
"That doesn't even make any sense!"
"You don't even make any sense."
Bunnymund threw his hands in the air, "Do any of us?"
"Not at all!" North interrupted.
"Oh so now you're taking his side?" Jack looked outraged, although only Bunny could see.
North looked offended, "Of course not! Simply saying that we do not make sense."
"Are you including me in this?" Tooth questioned, smiling dangerously.
All three of them froze at her tone, trying to figure out what the correct answer to that question would be.
"Ah . . . Here we are!" North burst out, grasping the door knob and opening it quickly so that they wouldn't have to respond to Tooth. Bunny and Jack both forgot about their contest as they walked in the doors, blinking when they saw what lay inside.
Where they had been expecting a meeting table, huge beanbags lay. They'd imagined a bunch of strait-backed chairs, but found squashy couches instead. A fireplace was inlaid in the wall to their left, huge windows to their right. Colors abounded and pictures hung on the wall
"Is fantastic, no?!" North laughed at the stunned looks on their faces and grinned.
Bunny recovered and had to admit that it was pretty cool, "Ya' did a good job on this one."
"Yeah!" Jack exclaimed, bouncing onto one of the beanbags, "You're awesome!"
Tooth smiled and squeezed North's shoulder, "Just what I imagined the perfect room to look like!"
The shortest Guardian agreed, nodding his head and drifting toward one of the couches.
North chortled, and waved his hands, "Now we can get down to tacks of brass!"
"Uh . . ." Jack started, "I think that's the other way around."
"No? We cannot get up to tacks of brass."
" . . . Nevermind."
