I finally managed to think of an idea. And get inspiration to write said idea. Sorry for the late update though.

Jack decided it was official. He hated North's private library. But only because North decided that it was time to organize his very cluttered book collections.

The room really did look like a library, with desks and tables to study or do work at and large window seats. Jack, Bunny, Tooth, North, and Sandy were sitting at one of said seats surrounded by piles of books.

"Why do I have to be here? I don't know where these books go!" Jack exclaimed as Bunny, once again, reprimanded him for 'slacking off'.

"Because we all agreed to help North with this," Tooth said gently. Jack groaned.

"I didn't. Besides, these books all look the same to me."

"That's why ya read the titles, mate. Ya know, reading," Bunny poked Jack's forehead before he swatted Bunny's paws away. Bunny rolled his eyes before shoving a red leather-bound book in front of the Winter teen. "Where does this go?"

Jack looked at the cover. No pictures to help figure out what it was about. Dang it. The title looked like a bunch of squiggly lines.

"I don't know! And I don't care. This is stupid. I'm leaving," Jack declared as he stood up and opened the window, using the wind to leave. Or at least, he tried to.

North closed the window, Sandy grabbed Jack's staff, and Bunny wrapped his arms around the struggling boy.

"Hey! You can't keep me here!"

"Jack, sweetie, what's wrong?" Tooth asked. Jack shut his eyes, knowing he'd cave if he looked at the fairy's sad face.

"Don't baby the boy, Sheila. He's just trying to get out of workin-"Bunny was cut off by Jack's shouting.

"I can't read!"

Silence was all that could be heard in the library (like it's supposed to) before voices started to clamber over each other.

"What do you mean-"

"How can ya not-"

"Jack, I didn't-"

"Enough!" Jack yelled. Everyone shut up and looked at him. He grabbed his staff and stepped away from the others.

"Look, I grew up in the 1700's and my family wasn't exactly rich. So I didn't go to school. And when I became a spirit, I was so busy doing other things, I never learned. Okay?"

Jack clenched his fingers around the familiar wooden crook he'd carried for 300 years and prepared to be laughed at by his fellow guardians.

"Why didn't ya just say that in the first place, mate?" Bunny asked. Jack scoffed.

"Yeah, and risk getting laughed at? No thanks."

"We would never laugh. Is perfectly understandable." North stated before clapping a hand on Jack's shoulder. "Though, don't think we will let this slide."

"Huh? What do you-?"

"We will teach you, of course. Right?" North glanced at the others and they all nodded in agreement. Sandy symbolled a check mark above his head while Tooth clapped excitedly. Jack rolled his eyes but smiled.

"Fine. But only so Bunny can't say I was 'slacking off' when we finish organizing the library," Jack replied.

Bunny then proceeded to smack the immortal teen upside the head.

A/N: And that's it for now. Next up, possibly one with Mother Nature, or maybe Jack meets April Fools? If you readers have a request, let me know.
