This chapter doesn't have a song related to it. Chapter one is just for setting up the story.

"You guys ready?" The reindeer snorted and bobbed their heads in conformation. "Great! I'll leave the driving to you." With that Jack leaped through the air and into the driver seat of the sleigh. True to his word the leads remand on the dash before him. He turned to look over his shoulder at the Big Four, all fast asleep and secure to the seats by the ice seat belts Jack had created.

(Flashback)

After the fear of Pitch's attack had worn off the four older Guardians had fallen back into old habits, burying themselves in their work. Nothing Jack did or said would tear them away.

The yetis agreed North pushed too hard, on himself and them, but it was because of that same reason that they didn't want to cross him.

Baby Tooth and her fairy sisters felt that their mother, Tooth, should get out more but were just as unsuccessful as Jack at convincing her. Jack even tried getting the elves to help, but …let's just say that it only added to the problem.

Board and out of ideas the Guardian of Fun retreated to his newest hang out, the reindeer stables. Over his 300 years Jack had become friends with many animals, and had learned to read their body language and noises. He found that these reindeer in particular were great companions and great problem solvers.

"I'm telling you Petrov, I don't understand them. When they played with Sophie and had that snowball fight they really seemed to enjoy themselves. Why would they bury themselves in work and hide away?"

Petrov, the lead reindeer named after North's trusted steed of past, snorted and pawed the ground. "I don't know!"

"Yah," Jack replied "If I could get them out and show them that they can have fun, I know they'd loosen up a little. Their work is important, I get that, but it won't fall apart if they aren't there every moment."

Petrov rubbed his head agents Jack. "It's ok."

"Thanks!"

Petrov shook his antlers and paced. "So what you gonna do?"

"Do? What can I do? I've tried everything I can think of!"

The reindeer eyed him. "Really? Everything?"

"What else is there? I've talked, I've pranked, I tried the elves and you know how that went." Nickers of laughter echoed form each stall. "Exactly!" Jack produced a festival flyer from his pocket. "I even invited them to this, there's nothing—"He stopped when he was knocked over by a gentle push. "Hay!"

Petrov, and every other reindeer, were looking at the sleigh. "We can use that."

"How does the sleigh help?"

All the reindeer walked out of their stalls and lined up in formation at the front of the sleigh, and then Petrov pointed at the flyer still in Jack's hand with his nose. "WE can take them there."

"You may be able to pull the sleigh without North, but how will I get them in it. I'll never get them out the door!"

Antlers rolled and flint attacks were aimed at him. "You're being ridiculous and just as stubborn as the others!"

Petrov grabbed some rope in his mouth and looked at Jack hard. "Figure it out!"

"OOOOOHHHHH!" Understanding and an idea lite his eyes. "I like the way you guys think!"

Planning and waiting was close to torcher but Jack wanted this to work, so he stuck to it. He checked with the Yetis, fairies, and Bunny's eggs about the plan. All agreed, and promised to keep things going while their leaders were out. He gathered dream sand, lots of it! Most was for the Big Four, since Sandy was made of the stuff it might take quite a bit to affect him, but what he didn't use on them was for the wind to disperse.

He helped prep the team and made sure they were ready and waiting on the night of the big event. As luck would have it, that day just happened to be a day for a Guardian meeting. Jack arrived at the meeting just in the nick of time, as always, and sat through the usual hubbub and reports.

At the end as everyone started to leave the room, Jack lifted into the air. But instead of leaving through the skylight he hovered above the others, whose minds were already so focused on the work they were off to continue that they failed to notice him, and sending a silent wish that the plan would work Jack dumped the dream sand he'd collected. All four yawned and collapsed to the floor.

(End of Flashback)

Now in the sleigh Jack held on tight as the reindeer took off. They flew at record speeds. Even without North's snow globes the team new all the short cuts and before Jack could really get settled, lights were visible just up ahead.

"What do you say Petrov? Should we wake them up?"

At his question all of the reindeer nickered in laughter. Jack grabbed hold of the seat as the sleigh began to do various acrobatics stunts, shaking the Big Four roughly awake.

"OOOOOHHHHHH, Nelly!" Shouted Bunny "Get me off this death trap!"

His wish was granted as the sleigh landed, rather safely considering the ride it had been through just moments before, in a grassy field and Jack removed the ice seat belts.

"Jack, where are we?" Tooth asked as she fluttered out of the sleigh.

"We are currently in Europe and just through those trees is the reason why.

"I don't care vhat your reasons are! Jack I don't have time for this—"

"That is exactly why I brought you all here," Jack interrupted North. "It's time you all had some fun, outside of your homes and your work!" With that he placed his staff casually over his shoulder, walked towards the trees, and disappeared among them.

The reindeer watched as the Big Four chased after the winter teen. "Our turn!" Petrov told the others. Little lights of multiple colors swarmed the deer's harnesses and unhooked the rains and ropes connecting them to the sleigh. Once free the deer followed the lights, in a slightly different direction, into the trees.
