I don't own Rise of the Guardians and I hope you all take your time and enjoy the ride!
"What's for breakfast today?" Stein asks as he wheels slowly, for once, down the hall.
It has been a calm month and Alice and Stein have completely gotten use to their new home at the pole. Of course Stein and Jack have been causing many problems for the yetis and elves, but now that Christmas is right around the corner they've ceased.
"Nothing," Jack says with a grin as he floats leisurely through the hall with Stein and Alice wheeling close to him.
Alice looks at Jack suspiciously and Jack begins to laugh, "I didn't do anything I swear!"
"Well then what's up?" Stein questions.
Alice taps her chin and stops skating, "I'm guessing that since Christmas is so close North is getting really busy. So, what are we doing today then?"
Both Stein and Jack stop to face Alice and Stein crosses his arms with a smirk, "Because we can't just be doing nothing."
Jack lands on the ground and smirks with more mischief than normal, "The Warren."
"How bout we play a little trick while there?" Stein asks while rubbing his hands together.
Jack instantly becomes interested and Alice shakes her head and whispers, "Poor Bunny."
"So what's the plan?" Jack asks as they fly to the Warren.
Stein chuckles, "You'll see when we get there!"
Jack pouts slightly but is too excited to keep it long.
When they land in the Warren they stay hidden as Stein closes his eyes and the red curtain comes, after the curtain leaves Jack is left facing himself.
"I'm thinking many moods Jack!"
Alice rolls her eyes and Jack laughs, she sighs and also dresses as Jack, "Who wants to start?"
"I'll start and act like...me," Jack says with a laugh.
Stein nods and smirks, "I'll go after and I'll be super active and more of a pain!"
"Then I'll go last and be super quiet."
They all nod and Jack walks out to greet Bunny as the other two stay hidden to watch.
"Hey Bunny!"
Bunny turns slightly, "Hey snowflake."
Jack goes and sits beside Bunny, "What're you doing?"
"Just painting some of my googies," Jack nods and sits quietly for a while.
"It's really hard to prank Bunny when he isn't doing anything."
"Yeah, but let's just watch for a little bit and see what happens," Alice says as she sits to get comfortable.
"So where are the two ankle-biters at?"
"Ooh, I wonder how the Guardian of fun will pull this off," Stein says with a chuckle and Alice rolls her eyes.
"Well Alice went to visit Tooth's and Stein went to hang with Sandy for a while."
Bunny looked at him suspiciously for a moment, "They aren't together?"
Jack shakes his head, "Sometimes they like to do their own thing, ya know?"
Bunny nods understanding that being away is sometimes needed.
"That actually sounds believable," Stein comments with a smirk.
"Though I don't think you could handle being alone with Sandy for too long," Alice says with a laugh, and Stein gives a sarcastic laugh.
Jack stands, earning a confused look from Bunny, "Just stretching my legs," Jack begins to walk around slightly and slowly disappears from Bunny's sight, giving Stein a thumbs up with a grin.
"My time to shine," Stein says as he walks to take Jack's place next to Bunny.
Instead of sitting normally Stein decides to just fall down next to Bunny making him go, "Ow!"
Alice facepalms, Jack tries to contain his laughter and Bunny looks over at him and laughs, "Smooth Snowflake."
Stein pulls the classic Jack grin and moves to lay down, his head looking up at Bunny's face.
"Are you done painting eggs yet?"
Bunny looks at Stein and answers with a simple no.
"But I'm bored! Let's have a conversation!"
Bunny continues to paint his egg, "About what?"
Stein taps his chin then grins, "Why do you think Alice and Stein said you were a family friend?"
Bunny stops painting and looks at Stein, he knows the answer and Stein can see that but instead he says, "Who knows, I don't question those ankle-biters."
Stein hums for a moment, "What do you think of the new Guardians?"
"Lots of questions huh Snowflake?"
Stein gets up and sits crossed legged toward Bunny, "Yup! Now your answer?"
Bunny ponders for a moment before answering, "I like them, Alice is very cool-headed but not completely cold, ya know?"
Stein nods, "And Stein?"
"Too much like you."
Stein pouts slightly, "What does that mean?"
Bunny smirks, "Let's just say I feel bad for North considering the trouble you two will cause him."
Stein stands up, surprising Bunny, and he mimics Jack's earlier line, "Just stretching my legs."
Bunny nods and resumes painting the egg he had forgotten about.
Alice begins to stand as Stein slowly makes his way over to Jack, when he is hidden she walks out and softly sits down with her legs stretching in front of her. She sat quietly and Bunny didn't seem to mind, Alice had said she would be quiet and as she looked at the Warren that seemed to stretch on she found it surprisingly easy to just relax and look at everything.
After several moments Bunny speaks up, "So suddenly you're Sandy?"
Alice smirks and nods her head, not even looking at Bunny.
Bunny becomes suspicious, "Something is definitely wrong with you Snowflake," he stands up and Alice just continues to sit but now she is looking at him.
"First you are normal then you ask too many questions and won't keep er shut and now you're a mute."
Alice chuckles, "Maybe I'm acting...Who was I the first time?"
Bunny seems confused but answers the question, "You were acting like yourself."
Alice nods, "and the second?"
"...kinda like Stein, I guess?"
"What about now...who am I acting like now?"
Suddenly Bunny comes to a realization, "Like Alice, but still a little too quiet to be her exactly."
Alice laughs and closes her eyes letting a red curtain surround her, after it is gone and she is herself again she says, "Good to know you can figure out the real one."
Before Bunny can say anything Jack comes flying to meet them and Stein walks over behind him, both have a grin on their face.
"Aw you do care," Jack said as Bunny rolled his eyes.
"That freak out at the end was funny," Stein said with a laugh and Alice laughed a little as well.
"Hardyhar. Now I'm guessing you three are here since North is busy."
The three nod their heads and Bunny sighs, "Don't mess up my Warren."
Alice is the first to speak up, "We won't. Now Jack would you mind showing me around, I love flowers."
Jack nods and looks at Stein, "Are you coming too?"
Stein shakes his head, "Naw, I'll just stay with Bunny."
Alice and Jack nod and walk off to explore the Warren, while Bunny sits down and continues painting his eggs.
Stein also sits and asks, "Can I help?"
Bunny looks at him suspiciously, "You can paint?"
Stein chuckles, "When I was alive I was going to school for art, my mom taught me how to paint when I was five and I've never stopped."
"Do you still paint now?"
"I don't have anything to paint with, and North already gave me and Alice so much."
Bunny nods, "I'll let you paint some of my googies."
Stein at first is a little surprised but then grabs a brush and begins to paint with Bunny, and a silence ensues.
"Do you love someone?"
Bunny almost drops his egg and he turns to face Stein, "What?"
Stein smiles and stops painting to face Bunny, "Do you love someone?"
Bunny seems to ponder if he should answer but then asks, "Do you?"
Stein laughs, "You're avoiding the question, but yes I do...and you?"
Bunny continues to avoid the question, "Is it Alice?"
Stein sighs and looks at the ground, "Do you like-"
Suddenly Northern lights stream across the sky and Bunny and Stein are on their feet.
"Something's wrong at the Pole." Stein says as he conjures his wheels.
During Stein and Bunny's chat Jack and Alice were enjoying a peaceful walk through the Warren looking at all the different kinds of flowers.
Jack laughed, "You really enjoy flowers, huh?"
Alice smiles, "Yeah, my mom use to plant so many and it was always so pretty."
"My little sister use to love flowers her favorite was daisies."
"Daisies, the flower meaning innocence and simplicity," Alice states as she touches a daisy petal.
Jack looks at her confused, "Flowers have meanings?"
"Yes, there is a language of flowers. I love flowers so I read books on their meanings."
Jack nods in understanding, "So what's your favorite flower?"
"I love blue roses."
"What do they mean?" Jack questions, suddenly interested.
However before Alice can answer Northern lights stream across the sky.
"Oh no. Something's wrong." Jack says as Alice nods and conjures her wheels.
Yeah sorry that the trick was kinda lame, but Bunny freaking out and being confused would be funny. Anyway I wonder why the lights are out...I guess we'll see...
