Why didn't you guys tell me my chapters were so short? I just reread everything….I'm so ashamed.
Bunny: Ya should be.
Jack: Don't make her feel worse.
Me: See? Jack's nice. You're not, Bunnymund.
Bunny: What'd you call me?
Disclaimer: I don't own ROTG. Only my plot and occasional OC's.
Bunny: That's not an answe-don't bloody leave the room when I'm talking!
Bunny's POV
He was ashamed. They all were. Why couldn't they have just asked Jack what had happened? Oh wait, they did. Then he started yelling at the poor tyke.
Yes, Bunny had been walked through. Once. Yes, his holiday hadn't gone well, and belief wasn't high. But what about Jack?
He had heard a voice, his bloody sister's voice, and his instincts told him to follow it. Pitch lured him in, played on his fears, and Jack was vulnerable. Then, after being betrayed by the Guardians, having his staff broken, and getting what he wanted, he still came back.
Bunny didn't understand the bloke one bit. But he still cared about him.
"How could we not have…...why didn't we….." Tooth couldn't seem to finish her own questions before her eyes started to tear up. North patted her on the back.
"We could not have known," North assured her. Bunny glared angrily at him.
"Bu' we should 'ave! Bloody hell, North! Jack Frost is a child! An immortal one, bu' still a child! We are supposed to protect 'em from harm, and instead, we ignored him for 300 years! Then we go an' use his memories as a bargain chip, and then we go an turn our backs on him without waitin' for an explanation!" Bunny yelled.
"We know, but-" Bunny cut North off sharply.
"No, we don't know. That's the point! We don't know anything about the kid because we never took the time to notice. We wrote him off as some naughty list kid, some winter sprite. A mischief maker. Who knows what he's been through? Alone! Without us!"
"We all feel bad about it, Bunny," Tooth whispered.
"Feeling bad ain't the same as doing somethin'. We need action! Otherwise, the kid is gonna end up with no believers again. An' no one should eva' hav' to go through that!"
Sandy motioned for Bunny to calm down, and he did, but he huffed all the same. Sandy then made symbols, one of a snowflake, then of the Guardians, then of them together, then a clock.
"You are saying, in time, we will mend our mistakes bond with Jack?' North asked. Sandy nodded eagerly. Tooth smiled hesitantly.
"That sounds great, but…..can we do it?" She asked. Bunny smirked.
"Is the great Queen Toothiana giving up?" Tooth smiled, a gleam of the old fire that use to rage in her showed in her eyes.
"Never. Of course we can. Through hard work. We'll make up for what we've done. 300 years is a long time, but we've got all eternity."
"Then let's get started, mates," Bunny said. Nothing would get in the way of him making up for what he'd done to the kid. Even if it took a thousand years, he'd work hard every step of the way.
They all decided the first step would be gaining his trust. Then spending as much time as possible with him. An apology wouldn't hurt. And helping Jack gain believers would be something that had to bring a smile to the youngest Guardian's face.
The next time the Guardian's met, Jack was greeted with warm faces and offers to sit by everyone. He accepted Bunny's offer, but was confused and asked why everyone was acting weird. Bunny just ruffled his hair and said that the others were in a good mood.
Yep, Bunny would do anything to make things right with that kid. But he'd be damned if he'd let Jack freeze his Warren again.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. Get it? Hope? It's-ah, never mind. Kitkat Out!
