Tooth decides to have a chat with Johnny Halloween. (The host of the party they were at)
"I'm surprised Toothiana, you never visit me."
"Yes, well Johnny, you're all about candy, and i'm all about teeth. Not exactly the most compatible combination, hm?"
"You got me there, but honestly, why only six hours after you leave my party, you come back?"
Tooth stirred her cup of left over fruit punch. She was in no mood for alcohol.
Johnny on the other hand, held a bottle of beer in his hand, chilling in a chair. Tooth was sitting on the each of his leather couch.
"I'm here to talk about Jack." Tooth stated firmly.
"Ahh..." Johnny sighed. "Cute kid."
Tooth eyed him with a look that could kill.
"Woah there birdy, I ain't no perv. You made a right choice bringing the kid onto your Guardian team, hes fun. Especially when you get some drinks in him." Johnny chuckled.
"Thats exactly why i'm here John." Tooth said.
Johnny raised a brow, "Look Toothy, hes technically over 21 by a lot-"
"But he had the body of a fourteen year old boy."
"..."
"So you gave a minor how much alcohol?" Tooth asked.
Johnny took a swig of his beer. "He was all hesitant at first, but then I told him that he would have more fun drinking-"
Tooth scoffed.
"-so at first...I gave him just a shot of vodka, nothing special. But then he started getting more fun, more loose. So then a few more shots...and maybe a daiquiri, I dunno, I lost count after his sixth shot."
Tooth suddenly slapped Johnny across the face. "Johnny Halloween!"
"Aye watch it Tweetie bird." Johnny snapped, rubbing his burning cheek.
Tooth scoffed again and stood up. "Goodbye John."
Just as she reached the window, she turned around, face soft.
"One more thing...did Jack-...say anything odd?"
Johnny smirked. "Possibly...but it'll cost you."
"Excuse me?" Tooth raised a brow.
"Yup...I'll tel you 'xactly what Jacky-Boy said, in return for...oh! Instead of coins, have your fairies leave a piece of candy. Or you can do both together or whatever."
"What-"
"Only for one night Tweetie-bird. Always been my dream to see the Tooth Fairy give kids candy." Johnny teased.
Tooth sighed. For Jack.
"Fine, for one night...i'll give out a coin and a stupid piece of candy. But you have to tell me now what Jack said at the party"
Johnny cracked his knuckles. "Alright perfect. Where do I start? So...Everyone was drinking but Jack was just kinda being a shy wallflower. So I pulled him aside and handed him a bit of vodka, like, the good stuff. He refused it...at first, but eventually I got him to down it. I guess since hes pretty small it affected him a lot and pretty quick. I then gave him about five shots...then I think by then he was a mess. I dunno who, pretty sure it was New Years, but someone gave him a strawberry daiquiri. By then...lets just say Jack Frost was a lot more...loose than before."
Tooth gritted her teeth. "What. Did. Jack. Say?"
"Cupid was trying to start up a game of 'Seven Minutes in Heaven' and Jack was dared to go in the closet with some tree nymph. But Jack refused and then I was all like, 'Dude, are you a virgin?' But then Jack just laughed. Thats about all of the odd things he said."
Tooth just stood at the opened window, trying to process the information.
Johnny suddenly said, "Hey Tooth? Why do you care so much about what he said last night?"
Tooth turned towards him, a pained looked on her face. "Jack said something...very distrubing last night to the rest of the Guardians before he passed out. I just wanted to check in with you first before we make any accusations."
Johnny crossed his arms. "What did Jack say?"
Tooth pursed her lips. "I...I don't think its my right to tell you."
"Tooth come on, Jack and I are friends! You can tell me."
"...Fine...You of course know Pitch Black?"
Johnny snorted, "Duh, hes like...my annoying hated older cousin. I respect the fear and shadows he brings, but he just takes fear too far. I'm all about being scared, but the type of scared where you scream and wet yourself, but then laugh about it later, not being scarred for life and getting nightmares."
Tooth nodded thoughtfully, "And you know about the battle of Easter?"
"Mmhm."
"Well...Jack took a sleeping child back to her house from the Warren, and instead of coming right back, he disappeared for a few hours. We never knew exactly what happened in that time, but Jack kinda told us what went down then." Tooth sighed, fidgeting with her feathers.
Johnny looked to her expectantly.
"What I tell you...you can't tell anyone!" Tooth threatened.
Johnny rolled his eyes, "I won't tell anyone."
"Swear to Man in Moon?"
"Jeez, I swear to Man in-"
"No! The whole thing!" Tooth snapped.
Johnny threw up his hands in defeat before standing up.
"I, Johnny Halloween, formally John Frank Stein, swear to Man in Moon on my right to spirit hood that I shall not violate my word."
Johnny gave Tooth a exasperated look. "Happy now?"
Tooth nodded. "Very."
"So...Jack said...Jack said that Pitch ambushed him in his lair, and that...well...that Jack told us P-Pitch raped him."
Johnny froze. He hadn't felt this much...dread, fear and scared in years.
"Excuse me?" Johnny asked nervously.
"Pitch raped Jack on Easter." Tooth repeated, eyes welling up.
Johnny shot up from his seat. "No! No, no, no, no, no-"
"Johnny! I have to go." Tooth interrupted.
"Remember your swear." Tooth threatened before taking off, bursting into tears once away from Johnny.
