Hey guys! Another chapter, and this one didn't take mouths to put up! :D Yay! I have homework to do, a baby shower, and a dance today so I'm sorry if this my seem a bit rushed. I acutally go and put in the move and write down their lines word for word, pausing and playing over and over and over to make sure I got everything. So that's why it takes so long (besides my laziness) to post these chapters. I HOPE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH WORK I PUT INTO THIS! (JK I love you all for being as supportive as you guys are, you're awesome. :3 )
Anyway Enjoy Chapter 26!
"I still can't believe you guys made getting the teeth a race!" Tooth sighs.
The others looked at each other in amusement and a bit of embarrassment.
"Hop to it, rabbit! I'm five teeth ahead!" Jack laughs as they run across the roof tops.
"Yeah right.' Bunny scoffs. "Look I'd tell ya to stay out of my way but really what's the point? 'Cause you won't be able to keep up anyway."
Jack smirks, turning to Bunny. "Can't keep up huh? How about after this we have a little race, Cottontail."
Bunny shares his smirk, making the other Guardians worry about just what mayhem those two will cause. "You're on Frostbite."
"Is that a challenge, Cottontail?" Jack asks as he flips on his back to look at him.
"Oh you don't want to race a rabbit, mate." Bunny says smugly before he sprints ahead.
"Woah!" Jack says in surprise before laughing and pushes the wind to go faster.
Tooth got excited about how many teeth were around and accidentallyran into a billboard. Jack landed on top of it and looked down at her. "You ok?"
Tooth rubbed her nose sheepishly. "I'm fine. Sorry, it's been a really long time since I've been out in the field."
Jack looked at her skeptically. "How long is a long time?"
Tooth again looked sheepish. "440 years, give or take?"
Tooth say a tooth and zoomed off, leave Jack and Baby Tooth to look at each other like 'whaaa?' which Baby Tooth only shrugged helplessly.
The next few hours were a blur of grabbing and stealing teeth from each other. At one point Jack had even frozen Bunny's feet when he was trying to steal one of the teeth.
"That wasn't nice, mate.' Bunny grumbles. 'Almost froze my bloody feet off."
Jack shrugs carelessly. "You were stealing one of my teeth."
"I got there first and you know it, ya bloody show pony!" Bunny growls.
Before they could start fighting Tooth and Sandy pushed them apart and told them to focus on the screen.
Finally they were standing together proudly holding up four decently large bags of teeth.
"Wow you guys collect and leave gifts as fast as my fairies!" Tooth says gleefully.
The four flinched, looking to each other to see if they remembered the gifts. Tooth caught on to this and asked worriedly. "You guys have been leaving gifts, right?"
Sandy nodded happily, then thought it over and shook his head no.
They rushed to laundry mat and got some quarters. Retracing their steps the rushed around leaving quarters, eggs and even presents for the kids.
Somehow they ended up getting to Jamie's house, Jack and Tooth being the first ones there.
"Left central incisor, knocked out in a freak sledding accident.' Tooth muses with a wry grin. She turned to the winter spirit who was staring at a childish drawing on the wall. 'I wonder how that could have happened, Jack."
Jack looked slightly embarrassed but his eyes glowed with mischief and happiness. "Kids, huh?"
Tooth flipped the quarter around her fingers before slipping it under Jamie's pillow. She lifted off the ground and floated to where she was parallel to the boy's sleeping body. Her eyes softened.
"This was always the part I liked the most.' She says gently. 'Seeing the kids, why did I ever stop doing this?
She folder her arms across her cheast, eyes turning a bit sad.
Jack looked between her and Jamie. "Hmm. It's a little different up close, huh?"
Tooth looked at him and smiled softly. "Thanks for being here, Jack. I wish I had known about your memory, I could have helped you."
Jack looked a bit torn between being upset and forgiving them. "Yeah, well… Look, let's just get you taken care of. Then it's Pitch's turn."
"That is very mature of you Jack." North says, laying a big hand on Jack small shoulder.
Jack smiled at him. "Thanks, North."
Just then North appears in the window and is struggling to push him self though. He finally makes it and grins at them.
"Shh!" Tooth shushes him, noting Sandy floating in behind the large Russian. She points to Jamie, and North quickly lowers his voice.
"What gives, slowpokes?' North whispers before turning to Tooth. 'How are you feeling, Tooth?"
"Believed in!" Tooth says happily.
"That's what I want to hear." North laughs.
"Oh I see how it is, all working together to make sure the rabbit gets last place." Bunny says as he hops out of one of his tunnels.
"Shh!" The others shush him making his ears lean back in surprise.
"Check it out, Peter Cottontail." Jack grins holding up his bag.
"You call that a bag of chomppers?' Bunny scoffs pulling out a slightly bigger bag. 'This is a bag of chomppers"
"Gentlemen, gentlemen this is about Tooth,' North buds in. 'It's not a compaction. But if it was…!"
He holds up a huge bag. "I win!"
He starts doing a happy dance, cheering as he did.
Suddenly a flashlight clicked on, shinning in North's face. "Oh no."
They all froze as they stared at the now awake Jamie.
Jamie gasped, eyes transfixed on North. "Santa Claus?"
He moved the light over each of the Guardians, whispering their names. "The Easter Bunny?' Bunny chuckles weakly. 'Sandman?' Sandy waves, eyes squinting at the light. 'Tooth Fairy! I knew you'll come!"
"Surprise!' Tooth says weakly, not sure how to handle an awake child. 'We came!"
"He can see us?" Jack asks hopefully, staring at Jamie as the kid shined the light on each of them.
Seeing Jamie's eyes go right over Jack, Bunny corrects softly. "Most of us."
The others turned to look at Jack, whose hopeful look faded.
Tooth took control, remembering the problem. "Shh you guys, he's still awake!"
"Sandy, knock him out." Bunny nudges said person.
Sandy started pounding his hand into his fist, making the others and Jamie's look at him in surprise.
"With the dream sand you gumbies" Bunny scolds.
A gray hound suddenly jumped on the bed, staring right at Bunny as she growled threateningly.
"No, stop!' Jamie says, trying to pull the dog back. 'That's the Easter Bunny! What are you doing Abby, get down!"
"Alright nobody panic.' Bunny says, staring 'Abby' in the eye.
"But that's a gray hound.' Jack smirks, pointing to the dog that couldn't see him. 'Do you know what gray hounds do to rabbits?"
"It's a pretty safe bet she's never met a rabbit like me.' Bunny says rolling his shoulders and trying to look intimidating. 'Six foot one, nerves of steel master of Tai- chi and ancient art of-"
Jack rolled his eyes and looked over at the clock sitting on the night stand. Grinning and with a flick of his wrist he tapped his staff against it, making it loudly start ringing.
"I'm going to get you for that Frostbite!" Bunny shouts.
"Like to see you try, Kangaroo." Jack snorts.
Sandy held up a ball of dream sand threateningly and the two quieted down.
"Cricky!" Bunny shouts as he starts racing around the room, Abby hot on his tail.
"Stop! Sit!" Jamie cries at the dog.
Sandy struggles to catch the ball of dream sand Abby had almost knocked out of his hand, finally he got control at tried aiming it at the dog.
Jack hopped onto the nightstand, watching as Bunny hopped around wildly trying to shake Abby off.
"Sandy!" North cries, urging the Sandman to hurry before someone got hurt.
Sandy tried to throw it but Abby jumped on him, making it fly at North but he dodged. Tooth and Baby Tooth got hit and landed limply on the ground, dreams of teeth floating above their heads.
The ball was now flying everywhere, Bunny was still hopping around away from Abby and Sandy and North were dodging the ball.
Somehow Jack and Jamie where able to just watch this whole thing play out.
The ball bounced off a picture and hit Bunny, Abby following soon after, carrots and bones floating over their heads respectively
North was hit and candy canes appeared, he muttered dazily. "Candy canes…"
He fell back on Jamie's bed, making the boy fly off and land in Sandy's arms. He nodded his head and Jamie joined the others in lala land.
There was a moment of silent as Jack and Sandy looked at each other, being the only ones still awake.
"Whoops.' Jack says grinning, watching as one of Bunny's carrots grabbed one of North candy canes and started dancing with it. 'Oh I really wish I had a camera right now."
He bit his knuckle to hold in his laughter.
Sandy shot him an amused look as he laid Jamie next to North on the bed.
The golden man looked over the winter spirit's shoulder, eyes widening.
Jack twisted around and saw not a foot or two away from him in the window was a nightmare. It snorted and ran off, likely to where Pitch was.
He jumped out the window, hoping to catch it. "Sandy come on! We can find Pitch!"
With that he was on the chase.
