Breaks are for the weak! (part two)

Rating for this chapter: K

Bunny blinked as Jack fell limp on top of him. He looked over to Sandy. Sandy shrugged it has a mischievous grin. Bunny pushed the boy up a bit so he could sit up. He then picked up the boy and took him to a quiet room (well as quiet as it can get around this time of year anyway.)

Bunny carefully laid the boy down on to the bed. He drapped a blanket onto the boy and then left the room.

Bunny sighed as he closed the door. He saw Sandy standing nearby.

Bunny chuckled. "What are we gonna do with 'im?"

Sandy shrugged, but smiled nonetheless.

Jack woke to loud yelling. Most likely North yelling about some unfinished toy. Wait, he woke up? Then of that's the case how long?

Then and all of a sudden. Everything hit him like a brick. He was running late for the next snow.

The kids! Oh mim! Please don't be Christmas night!

Jack bolted out of the bed and scanned the room for his staff.

That darn rabbit! He took it!

Jack was about to vacate the room, when the said rabbit opened the door.

"Oh Jack yer-"

"Where is my staff."

"Oh that. It's at mah place."

Jack's nose twitched.

"Then go get it I need to get back to work, like, yesterday!"

"Now Jack-"

"Now Bunny I need to go Now!"

"No Jack. Not until ya tell meh what's wrong."

Jack growled then turned around and sat on the bed and sighed.

"Fine..."

Jack took a deep breath.

"All of father winter's helpers are still out of commission… since they were in the heat for so long they are very weak and can't work… So the way the seasons are done, is that depending on how large the country or the content, a certain amount of winter spirits will be sent. But that was out of the question this year… well ya know, no one but me is in a good enough condition, especially since father is taking care of the other half of the world while i take care of the other half."

Bunny was speechless. How on earth was Jack able to do all of that. One half of the world! Costenly! Bunny looked sempethedicly. And he thought he and North had it hard. Well at least this year Jack had the harder job.

"Now would you please let me get back to work! I promised these kids in Canada that they would have a snow day tomorrow." Jack pleaded, eyes large and pleading.

Bunny sighed. "I don't know mate…"

"Please! I promise that there will be no snow anywhere you stop."

Now that was a borgen right there. But was it really worth the boy working himself to death? Bunny sighed. "I'm sorry mate but… ya really need to rest a bit more."

"Please Bunny just… let be give canada that snow and ill be back. Please, there new believers and i-i- i cant lose them…"

Oh so that's it. Well eggs and carrots, He was in a real pickle. Well he did say he was just going to canada.

Bunny sighed. "Alright-"

"Thank you!-"

"Hold yer horses mate. I have to come with you."

Jack's face was still glowing, happiness radiating from his huge smile.

"Thank you so much Bunny!"

And be for the pooka knew it he was being hugged.

After Jack and Bunny got to canada. Jack landed by a house. Two children playing in the backyard of the house. Jack threw a snowball at one of the kids. Their laughter stopped for a moment before starting back up again as they spotted Jack.

They tackled him to the ground. "JACK!" they shouted.

"Hey kids."

"Are you going to make it a snow day tomorrow?"

"Yep sure am dont expect to school tomorrow kids!"

The two kids cheered and stood up and started chanting. "Snow day, snow day!" over and over again in a loud happy cheer.

Bunny watched the scene before him. He never really saw the kid with, well, other kids. But he did know that the smile one the boy's face was of pure utter joy.

Jack played with the two for a while before bidding them goodbye. Jack started the snow.

Bunny watched the light snow turn a bit heavier as it fell. Bunny never really got to see Jack at work but boy was the kid graceful. Moving with ease and flexibility through the air and around the trees and houses.

Bunny could see the careful textures of the frost lacing the windows and roads. It was mesmerizing to watch.

And before Bunny even knew it Jack was done.

"Okay we can go now."

Bunny blinked and then chuckled.

"Are you going to rest like you need to now?"

Jack sighed. "Fine… I guess breaks are so bad."

"Now that's a good boy." Bunny patted Jacks head.

"Well let's go!"
