A/NSorry if I don't write North or Bunnymund accents correctly... I'm terrible at stuff like that XD

If anyone has memory suggestions I'm open!


As the next memory came into view, the voice from before rang out: December 24th, 1700

"Hey! Is Christmas!" North noted gleefully.

Tooth nodded excitedly, wanting to see the Overland twins again.

They were outside, and there was at least two feet of thick compact snow.

Jackson and Jakoby played in the snow, giggling as they sunk through parts off it. They had on boots that were too big for them, and fuzzy deerskin coats. Jack sunk into the snow, and since he was so small it was up to his chest.

Jakoby laughed, seeing his chance, and tried to bury his brother in snow.

"Hey!" Jack said, trying to get out of the snow. He got out and chased his brother around.

Tooth smiled. "I wonder what Jack did to become the spirit of winter."

Sandy flashed a few images about his head translating to, "And why he was chosen as a guardian?"

"We'll find out."North said.

Jack threw a snowball at Jakoby, but it missed and flew strait through the glass of their kitchen window.

Jack and Jakoby stared at it. "Oops." Jack said.

Their dad walked through the front door. "Jackson! Jakoby! Which one of you threw that?"

Jakoby immediately pointed to Jack.

"Hey!" Jack said.

"Come here, Jackson." Their dad called to the boys.

Jack slowly made it to his dad, who crouched down to be at eye level with him.

"Ooo, someone's it in trouble," Bunny snickered.

"Shh!" Tooth said, lightly hitting him.

"Why did you do that?" Michael asked.

"It was an accident, daddy, I was trying to hit Jake." Jack said.

It took everything in Bunnymund's power not to start laughing at Jack's English accent.

He stood there trying not to laugh as Tooth fussed over how adorable it made him sound, and Sandy just rolled his eyes.

"Okay, but don't have snowball fights near the house." Michael said, a smile creeping onto his face.

Jack's eye lit up. "Okay!" He promised.

"Now go clean up the glass inside," Michael said, ushering both boys inside.

Time seemed to pass, and it was nighttime.

The two boys sat on the wooden floor, in front of a fire place playing with a toy horse.

"Who want to put out cookies for Santa?" Emily's voice sang from the kitchen.

"I do!" The twins raced into the kitchen.

Jakoby ran out and put a cup of milk on the self above the fire place, while Emily said. "Jack those aren't for you put them back."

Jakoby ran back into the kitchen where Jack was trying to eat the cookies on the plate. After they set out the plate, Michael said it was time for bed.

"Aw, but I want to see Santa!" Jack complained.

"You're too young to stay up so late," Michael said.

"Please!" He whined.

"Oh, alright." Michael set the boys up on the couch with a blanket.

Emily kissed both boys on the head, before following Michael upstairs.

Jack had his head at one end of the couch, Jakoby on the other.

"Do you think we will see him?" Jack asked.

Jakoby shrugged. "Maybe. I still think we shouldn't mess with them."

Jack tossed a pillow at Jakoby's head. "You're a downer."

Jakoby giggled and put the pillow on the floor.

"They're adorable!" Tooth shrieked.

"We know, Tooth, you've said it before," Bunny said.

North laughed. "I don't recall either of them ever seeing me before."

Sandy pointed at the fire place and it seemed to be later in the night when North's boots hit the ground.

Memory Santa pulled out a few gifts and put them in the stockings hanging above the fireplace, before looking at the two seemingly sleeping boys. Then he ducked back under the chimney, and disappeared.

But the brown eyes of a little boy illuminated by the moon light flickered, and seemed to smile.


The next morning Jack jumped onto Jakoby, waking him up.

"Jakoby! Jakoby!" Jack laughed. "Did you see him? I fell asleep, did you see him!"

Jakoby sat up, rubbing his eyes. "Yeah I saw him, but he left fast."

"Oh," Jack looked disappointed for only a moment before jumping up again. "C'mon!" he said.

The two raced upstairs and woke their parents before running back to the fireplace where their presents sat. The two boys stared at their presents in anticipation.

"How long do you think they can wait?" Emily asked Michael.

Michael smiled. "3…2…"

Emily finished. "One."

The boys lunged at their presents, tearing them open. They both got brown leather ice skates.

They were both overly excited to try them out and there father promised that the next day he would teach them.

The memory ended, and as the guardians waited for a new one, Tooth said,

"Why would MiM take Jack away from such a happy life?"

"The kid must have done somethin' pretty great," Bunnymund said.

"I guess we'll have to wait and see what it is," North said as the next memory started.

April 5th, 1702

The obviously older Overland twins were playing in the yard. Their hair was longer and messier; the twin that the guardians assumed was Jack was wearing brown pants, similar to the ones he wears as a teen, and a brown tank top. Jakoby wore matching pants but with a cloth vest that exposed most of his skin. Both boys were barefoot. They had also hit a growth spurt, and were taller and more the height they should be. They looked to be around six years old.

Jakoby chased Jack into the woods near their house, and Jack climbed up a tree, sticking his tongue out at his brother.

"Hey!" Jakoby said, accent still pure. "You have to come down!"

Jack sat on a branch and crossed his arms. "Nope. You come get me."

Jakoby grinned mischievously, and started climbing up the tree. He got to a branch across from Jack and reached out. Jack's eyes widened and he leaned back wards, only to have Jakoby lean closer. Then Jack fell backward out of the tree, and Jakoby fell forwards. Jack had landed on his back on the dirt of the forest floor, his eyes shut, and his knees pointed at the sky. Jakoby had landed on his stomach, his left cheek pressed into the dirt.

The guardians waited in silence for one of them to wake up, Tooth flitted around nervously and Sandy shifting his weight from foot to foot in anticipation.

Jack slowly opened his eyes and sat up, rocking back and forth a bit. He lifted his right hand to his head, but winced. His wrist was broken. He stood up, gaining his balance, and then saw Jakob lying near him. He rushed over and dropped to his knees. He pushed Jakoby over onto his back and Jack ran his good hand over his brother's ribs, check if anything was broken

"It looks like his knows what his doing," North noticed.

"Well, knowin' Jack, this has probably happened before," Bunny reminded him.

Jack felt Jakoby's left leg, and stopped at the knee. His kneecap looked odd. Jack was a little smaller than Jakoby, so with a bit of effort, Jack managed to get Jakoby onto his back, Jack made his way slowly out of the woods, trying not to jostle his unconscious brother, and made his way to the house.

As soon as he got through the door, their mother ran over and took Jakoby in her arms. She laid him on the table.

"I think his knee is broken, Mum," Jack said, pointing at his brother's knee.

"Go fetch the town doctor, and tell him what happened." Emily said.

Jack nodded and ran from the house into the small colonial town. Jack ran around frantically until he found the doctor. He quickly explained what had happened and showed the doctor to his house.

When he got back, Jakoby was awake.


Jakoby whimpered as the doctor told him he would have to set it.

"Jake, look at me," Jack said. Jakoby turned towards his brother. "It will be okay, I promise."

Jakoby nodded. "You promise."

Jack took his brother's hand and told Jakob to close his eyes.

The doctor set his hands on Jakoby's knee and a scream ripped through the boy.

The memory faded and the guardians waited for the next one.

October 20th, 1702

The Overland family sat at the kitchen table, eating dinner. Emily was obviously around five months pregnant, and the six year old twin's hair had been cut short.

"Mum, when is our sister going to get here?" Jack asked.

Emily smiled. "Soon, sweetheart. How do you know it is a girl?"

"Because you already have two boys so you picked out a girl this time." Jack explained, accent and all.

Emily and Michael laughed. "Alright, Jack."

Jakoby looked up and said, "Mummy, can I name the baby?"

"No! Me!" Jack said. "I will name her Jack Junior!"

Michael laughed. "How about if it is a boy, Jake will name it, and if it is a girl, Jack will name it."

Both twins nodded eagerly.

The memory faded out, and a new one started to form.

"I think it will be a girl!" Tooth squealed.

Bunny crossed his arms. "Ya don't think they actually let one of those boys pick out the name, do you?"

Sandy and North shrugged.

"Look! The next memory!" Tooth said excitedly.

January 8th, 1703

The Overland twins sat in the snow outside of their house. It was evening, and they were making a snowman. Their father was with them, watching the two eight year old boys play.

"Dad is our sister here yet?" Jack asked.

Jake peeked from behind the snowman. "It's a boy, Jack!"

"Nuh-uh," Jack shook his head.

Michael smiled at his boys and stood from where he was sitting. "I'll be right back, you two."

The boys nodded and continued working on their snow man.

Michael went inside of the house, and the boys finished their snow man.

"What should we name it?" Jack asked, grinning.

Jakoby rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Um, how about… Santa!"

"What? But Santa isn't made of snow!" Jack said.

"Well what do you want to name it?" Jakoby crossed his arms.

"Uh…"

Suddenly Michael burst through the door of the house and called the boys over.

Michaels eye were red and he wasn't smiling.

"What's wrong, dad?" Jack asked.

"You can see your mother now," Michael said quietly and lead the boys inside.

"Did the baby not make it?" Tooth asked.

North seemed to know what happened, but kept quiet.

Jack and Jakoby were lead into their parent's room where their mother was laying in her bed, looking quite pale, a few doctors were standing around, and one of them was holding something wrapped in a grey blanket.

The boys cautiously walked over to their mom, confusion clear on their faces.

"Mum?" Jakoby shook their mom a bit.

She opened her eyes a little and brightened at the sight of her boys.

"Hi there," She said in a hoarse whisper.

"Mum, are you okay?" Jakoby asked. Jack stared at their mom wide-eyed.

"Yes, sweetheart, mummy's okay," She said, stroking the boy's faces.

Emily raised her voice a bit. "Can I see my baby?"

Michael walked over holding the grey bundle. He placed the baby in her arms and she smiled.

"You were right, Jack," She whispered. "It's a girl. What do you want to name her?"

Jack looked at Jakoby and then said, "Emma, like your nickname."

Emily smiled a bit, and ran a hand through Jack's hair and touched Jakoby's cheek.

Michael took little Emma in his arms and held his wife's hand.

"My little babies," Emily said, her eyes half closed. "I'm going to go to sleep now, okay?"

Jack had water in his eyes and Jakoby suddenly said, "No mummy! Not yet!"

Emily smiled. "It's okay, baby," she comforted.

Jakoby broke down in sobs, while Jack stayed staring at his mom with wide watery eyes.

"Mummy," Jack said.

"Hmm?" She mumbled, her eyes almost closed.

"Where ever you go now, please have fun with everyone, just like you had fun with us, okay?" Jack said.

"I promise." She said before her eyes shut completely and the rising and falling of her chest stopped.

The Guardians were silent, except for Tooth's small sobs. Even as the boy watched his mother die, all he wanted was for her to have fun no matter what.

Michael held baby Emma, while still holding Emily's limp hand as tears ran down his face. Jakoby was screaming for his mum to come back. Doctors rushed over and took Emma from Michael and ushered Michael and the twins out of the room. Jakoby was screaming and clawing at the men, wanting to see his mum and for her to be okay.

Jack obediently walked out of the room, his eyes watery but not crying, with a blank face. He seemed to be in a state of shock.

When the three were downstairs, Michael held Jakoby in his arms and Jack walked out the door, ignoring his father calling after him.

It was dark out now, and Jack was standing barefoot in the snow looking up at the sky. He dropped to his knees and let out a wail before dropping his face into the snow and curling up, he was crying a screaming, and soon his sobs became quiet and he started hyperventilating.

He rolled onto his back, clutching at his throat, trying to breathe. Michael rushed outside, over to Jack and cradled him in his arms.

"Jack!" His called, trying to shake Jack out of his trance. "Jack, breathe! You need to calm down!"

Jack slowly started breathing right again, and curled himself into his father. Jakoby came over and kneeled down next to them, putting his head on his father's arm.

It was heartbreaking to watch. Tooth looked away until the memory faded.

"That was horrible." Bunny said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.
