Chapter Seven

The sleigh ride was actually quite fun for Jamie. He rose his arms up along with Sandy and enjoyed it. Jamie wasn't really for sure where they were going but his question was answered when they arrived at the place where teeth were stored and little fairies flew about. There was just something missing about it...the actual Tooth Fairy.

The sleigh landed at a halt onto a landing and Bunnymund hopped off as quickly as possible. Jamie slowly climbed off of it, with the help of Jack. Once he was off, an accusing finger, or overly large bunny paw, was pointing at the two of them.

"I'm not surprised by frosty over here, but you," Bunnymund began, emphasizing the "you" at Jamie.

"I-I'm sorry," Jamie stuttered, stepping back a little.

Sandy intervened and tried to calm the rabbit down, but that rabbit just wasn't listening.

"Now now," Santa chimed in. "I'm sure Jamie here had a reason for it. I'd doubt he'd just leave on his freewill."

"Uh, yeah!" Jamie chimed.

Jamie noticed the sun was coming back up, which meant that Dark Jack was going to make a reappearance. So far, Jack was being pretty quiet. Jamie needed to tell them all he had learned while being away with Jack in that ice house.

"Are you sure about that, mate?" Bunnymund asked, leaning forward and glaring into Jamie's eyes. Jamie shook his head quickly but he stopped when he heard a snicker. He looked over to see Jack was laughing to himself.

"Oh hop off it, Kangaroo," Jack told him, smirking. Dark Jack was back and Jamie knew this might cause an issue.

Bunnymund quickly stopped staring at Jamie to glare down Jack.

"I am no Kangaroo," he said, spitting out the word Kangaroo like it was poison.

Sandy placed a hand on his face and it looked like he was sighing. Santa just rolled his eyes. They must have gone at it like this a lot. Jamie sighed, knowing that if he didn't say something, they'd just keep fighting.

"Um...guys... Shouldn't we be discussing where Tooth is?" Jamie asked, stopping their arguing.

"Jamie is right!" Santa bellowed. At the sound of the jolly man's voice, the two of them perked up and inched away from one another.

"We've looked everywhere though!" Bunnymund exclaimed, throwing his arms out in annoyance. "It is like she just disappeared. If it wasn't for Jamie, Jack would still be gone too... Maybe we shouldn't have gotten Jamie..." he added in, muttering the last part under his breath.

Jamie noticed that Sandy was making pictures but nobody was listening to him. Jamie went over and bent down onto his knees, staring at the little golden man. Sandy made a picture of a man and then a moon. He then put the man on the moon.

"Man...on the moon?" Jamie asked, not really getting it. Once this supposed moon man was mentioned, everyone got quiet and looked over at Jamie and Sandy.

"The Man in the Moon!" Bunnymund gasped. "North!" he added in, staring at Santa.

North must be Santa, Jamie thought to himself.

He watched as Santa just nodded his head.

"He probably knows where Tooth is," Santa whispered, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"But how do we even talk to him?" Jack asked, raising a brow.

"By the moonlight my dear boy," Santa said, shaking his head, his beard moving a bit with him.

Jack just gave him a look of annoyance. If he didn't understand, Jamie sure wouldn't.

"Well I hate to break it to ya, but it's daylight," Jack replied, turning around with one foot and putting his arms behind his head.

Bunnymund then noticed something that the others hadn't and Jamie had forgotten about.

"Where is your staff?" he asked Jack. Everyone stared at Jack and he just shrugged.

"But, don't you need that?" Santa asked. Jack just shrugged yet again.

"His personality is split into two," Jamie blurted out. Now everyone was staring at Jamie.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Bunnymund asked.

"I figured it out a little bit after finding Jack..." Jamie started to explain. "In the day, he's this Dark Jack, whom is the sarcastic one and just has probably too much fun. At nighttime, it is the other Jack. The one where he shows more feelings and stuff. I'm pretty sure his missing staff probably has something to do with that."

The Guardians all got quiet now. It looked like they were thinking.

"Can he use his powers at all?" Santa asked.

"Only when he's Dark Jack," Jamie said softly, watching the Dark Jack stare at them all blankly.

"This could be a problem, North," Bunnymund said, actually looking concerned.

"Indeed..."

"What if my staff is with Tooth?" Jack asked nonchalantly. "I mean, whoever has her, maybe, they have that too."

"It's possible," Santa said. "My bets are still all on Pitch though."

Jamie bit his lip, wondering about everything. What would happen if they never got the staff back? Would he have to deal with the two personalities forever? Was Tooth safe? He didn't want to even think about the Tooth Fairy being in danger.

"Luckily the other fairies are here to collect the teeth and leave money," Santa said with a sigh. "If they weren't, people would stop believing in her and we don't want a repeat of what happened all those years ago."

Jamie had remembered when he was a child and he was the last believer of them. Luckily, they were able to get people to believe again.

"I think we should rest then, until nightfall," Santa suggested. "I know Jack is powerless then, but we'll be there to help!"

Everyone except for Jack nodded their heads in understanding. Once everyone was situated to rest, listening to the flapping of the fairy wings. Jamie was leaned up against the wall and Jack had joined him, plopping himself down onto the cold surface.

"At least I won't freeze to death here," Jamie said with a quiet laugh. Jack snorted and rolled his eyes.

"I wasn't going to let you freeze to death."

"So you were thinking about getting a heater then? Or possibly a house not made of ice?"

"Hey, it seemed like a good idea."

Jamie laughed and stared up at the sky. He was starting to feel a little sleepy. His sleep pattern sure was changing lately. Jamie's head slid down onto Jack's shoulder and soon, everything became dark.

"Jamie...Jamie wake up..." Jamie heard someone saying. His eyes slowly opened and he saw the moon glistening in the sky. Jack was standing above him and he was smiling softly.

"What time is it?" Jamie asked quietly, rubbing his eyes.

"It's almost ten."

Jamie nodded and stood slowly, stretching his arms once he was standing. His lower back and bum was hurting a bit from sleeping on the hard floor. There was a little pain in his neck as well from where he must have been resting on Jack's shoulder.

Jamie saw that the other Guardians were preparing to gather themselves and leave once again.

"Where are we going?" Jamie asked.

"North is taking us to the pole to see if he can speak to MiM," Bunnymund explained. Jamie figured out on his own that MiM must have stood for Man in Moon.

"Good thing you still have your jacket and stuff," Jack told him, patting his back gently. "It's just as cold there as it was at the ice house."

Sandy than rang some golden sand bells, signaling that it was time to leave. Jamie kind of wondered why they stopped here. Did they want to see if Tooth had just made her way here? Jamie sighed and walked over to step into the sleigh. Bunnymund looked a bit fearful.

"I think I'll take my way, thank you," Bunnymund said, about to tap his foot on the ground.

"Oh no you don't," Santa said, grabbing him by the collar and throwing him into the sleigh. "I'm not risking anybody else to get separated!"

Bunnymund just gave in and gripped the seats of the sleigh for support. Jamie felt Jack grab his hand and it made Jamie smile a bit, his heart racing.

"Everyone ready?" Santa asked. Everyone nodded and soon they were all flying off to the North Pole.
