A/N: Hiya, chocolatiers! (I shall call you that now.) I had this terrible tugging feeling that I have to update.. So here I am! Writing this... Sublime chapter in 6:30 AM. No surprise there. *sheepish grin* ALSO: Did anyone of you guess who the guest character is? Well, she's making another appearance here! :PP c:

~Spirit of laughter~

Luna groaned as she woke up. She felt strong furry arms around her, making her feel protected and comfy. Cracking one eye open, she saw that she was in her bedroom in Bunny's Warren. Looking at the arms owner, her cheeks flushed red. Bunnymund looked so cute and peaceful while sleeping.

"Oh gosh. I sound like a stalker." She thought to herself, shrugging.

With her little movement, Bunny's arms tightened around her waist. She blushed even redder (if that was even possible) as both of her eyes widened. She turned herself around, now facing Bunnymund.

"Bunny." She poked him.

"Buuuunnnnyyy." No answer.

"Bunny!"

"Mhhmm... 5 more minuteshh.."

"Oh, come on." Luna sarcastically thought, rolling her eyes.

She prodded him a little harder on the stomach.

"C'mon.. 5 more mi-"

"BUNNYMUND!" She exclaimed, eyebrows furrowed. Slightly annoyed that he wouldn't let go of her.

Bunny slowly opened his eyes, then widening as realization hit him.

He was cuddling Luna.

He jumped backwards, causing him to fall off the bed, which caused him to reach out to hold onto something. And that something... Was Luna's shirt.

She squeaked slightly as they landed with a soft thud on the floor, eyes closed. Apparently, she landed on top of Bunny. She opened them to see his magnificent emerald orbs staring at her neon blue ones. She wanted to push herself away but something was holding her back: his eyes.

They just stared at each other for what seemed like forever, lost in each other's eyes. But not until they heard a noise outside. The door bursted open.

"Hey Luna, I-" Jack stopped and stared wide-eyed at the scenery before him.

His best friend was on top of his fellow guardian.

"I-It's not w-what you think!" Luna exclaimed, cheeks turning a very dark red while she stood up.

Bunny gave an awkward cough as he sat on the bed, flattening his ears on his head.

"Uhhmm.. I-I just.. Oh geez." Jack stuttered, face-palming, hiding his reddening face.

"... You should've knocked first.." Luna gave a sheepish grin.

"Hey Jack, what's taking you so-"

Luna's eyes lit up.

"Joy!" She exclaimed, tackling her in a hug.

"Whoa! Miss me already, eh?" Joy chuckled.

"Well.. Not technically.." Luna answered.

Joy smiled but raised a brow when she saw Bunnymund sitting on the side of the bed, looking at Luna. He saw Joy's face then looked away. There was a slight color of pink on his cheeks- wait. Was E. Aster Bunnymund blushing? She asked herself. She giggled and shook her head.

"Alright. Wha' are you both doin' 'ere?" Bunny asked.

"Oh, yeah.. Uhmm... North's calling us. He said Pitch might've visited the Pole."

"Hold on..." Bunny said.

"Might have?" Luna continued, raising an eye brow.

"Don't blame me." Jack answered, leaning on his staff.

"Well then, come on! Let's hurry." Joy interrupted.

"No time to waste." Bunny tapped his paw on the ground, creating a huge hole.

"See ya there!" Joy called as she flew off with Jack.

Luna immediately transformed into a cheetah and jumped inside, not bothering to wait for Bunny, knowing that he would catch up.

::North's Workshop::

"North! What is it? Pitch again?" Tooth asked worriedly. Sandy nodding in agreement.

"I think so. There is nightmare sand in my vorkshop!" He replied.

"North! We're here!" Jack called out, helping Joy get in the window.

"Wha' happened, mate?" Bunny asked, jumping out of his hole after Luna, who stayed in her cheetah form.

"I saw nightmare sand in workshop!" North exclaimed, throwing his hands up.

"Well then, come on! Let's see it!" Joy said impatiently, Luna growled.

The seven then immediately went to the workshop room, where there were yetis sweeping the floor-covered nightmare sand, careful not to touch it.

"Oh geez." Luna said, forming back into human form. She crouched and looked at the sand carefully.

"How did this happen? Is anyone hurt? Did you see Pitch? How di- mmphh mmfffphhh?"

"Tooth, calm down. One question at a time." Sandy spelled with his dream sand. Once Tooth nodded, he let go of her mouth.

"I don't know. I just came here then –BOOM. Big mess." North gestured around the room. "Some yetis and elves got hit by sand. They are in medical room now. Sandy, if you please? Go and help them. I need to explain things, da?" Sandy nodded, already knew what to do and flew off to the infirmary.

Tooth opened her mouth to say something but North cut her off.

"No. I did not see Pitch." He said in his low Russian accent. Tooth blinked and nodded, face turning serious.

"So.. Anyone have any ideas on how this happened? Any... theories?" Joy asked, flying near the control panel and leaned on the wall with her elbow. Raising a brow, she looked at everyone.

"Well.. I don' see any-"

"Whoa!" Joy's arm slipped and hit the light switch, turning the whole workshop dark. Eventually, when her elbow slipped, she was caught off guard. She fell and hit the ground, covering herself with nightmare sand and began to whimper in fright as her nightmare begun.

"Joy!" Jack flew to her

But with everyone distracted, no one noticed that Pitch Black snaked a hand on Luna's waist and covered her mouth in the shadows. Her eyes went wide. She kicked her legs frantically and tried to make him let go, but he wouldn't budge.

Well, Luna learnt something now: Don't lean on the wall when it's dark.

Luna then felt a tugging sensation, which meant they were shadow-travelling. After a few seconds she felt herself being pushed from a wall. Pitch let go of her then proceeded to walk to his throne and sat down.

"Ugh. What the hell Pitch?!" Luna glared at him, turning herself into a lioness.

He sighed.

"What? You'll just answer me with a sigh? What the bloody hell do you want with me?" She gritted her teeth.

Pitch answered with a mumble.

"Answer me properly or I'll rip your flippin' head off and tear your body into peices!" Luna roared.

"Whoa! Okay! Okay!" Pitch raised his hands in a woah-we-got-a-badass-over-here way.

"I got bored!" He whined.

"You got bored?"

"I-"

"Listen, Pitch." She spat.

"NEVER underestimate me. I may be the Spirit of Laughter, but I tend to be very violent if you piss me off." Luna paced back and forth in front of his throne trying to gain her patience back, which was not working.

Pitch watched the lioness pace, amused of her attitude. He was speechless. He never knew the spirit was that fierce.

"I swear. I would just rip that blithering head of yours right now." He heard her mumble.
