Hi everyone! So can you believe it's already August?! This summer has gone by far too quickly in my opinion, but I guess there's nothing I can do about it. So let's just get to shout outs and then the story. And once again this one is made up as I go along.

mlequithinh-thank you I'm glad you liked it Really? Pookas can do that? Awesome! I'm learning something new everyday lol.

And welcome Xion5, I'm happy you're enjoying the story too. And don't worry, I don't think you're a pervert ;)

So Rise of the Guardians is not mine but if I could have one it would sooo be Bunny like that's not obvious.

Chapter 6: Together

Nat roamed the halls of the villa until she was in a room with a large open wall that led to a balcony. She plucked a plant from a bush near the railing before going back inside and settling down on a couch. This would have to be done very quickly, she had no idea how long it would take for Eris to find out. Taking a deep breath Nat called upon the wind for the first time in almost three weeks. Whispering the command under her breath she sent the wind away before he could even greet her and released the plant in her hand, watching it flutter away in the quick breeze. Nat didn't have to wait long before the purple smoke appeared in the room.

Eris looked pissed, "You used your powers!"

Nat innocently looked up from the book she held, "I did?"

"Yes, now tell me what did you just do!"

Placing the book down Nat turned to the goddess thoughtfully, "Well I was feeling a bit warm…I must have unintentionally summoned a breeze. I swear I didn't mean to. Plus with me unable to spread spring properly it's a little harder to control my powers. Please don't be mad at me." She placed a hand on her stomach.

Eris' angered expression relaxed, "Well that is true, since your looks changed you have seemed more on edge. And all you did was make a breeze?"

"Yes. Just a harmless little breeze. I promise I'll try to be more conscious of my powers."

And like a light switch the anger disappeared completely leaving Eris cheerful once again, "Ok then! Hey I have an idea, why don't we get mani pedis? It'll take your mind off spring and will be super fun!"

Nat let herself be dragged away with the goddess of chaos with a genuine smile on her face, "Alright, let's go."

~~~The Warren~~~

Bunny whipped his boomerang again at the already mangled target and watched it break apart beyond use. Not even being fazed he moved on to a sparring dummy, the only one left. He was beating the tar out of it when he felt a cold breeze.

"Jeeze Cottontail what happened? It looks like a tornado blew through here."

Jack's question was answered without even a glance as Bunny continued to pummel the dummy. He grunted between blows, "North said I had ta-stop searching for a bit so now-I'm trainin'."

"…I'm pretty sure North meant to relax a bit."

Destroying his last training tool with a fierce roundhouse kick Bunny turned to Jack, "And are you gonna go tell 'im I'm not?"

The winter teen shrugged after a moment, "Nah, go ahead and let off steam. I'm just here to help out with Easter prep."

Bunny stretched his arms over his head as he replied, "That's nice of ya mate, thanks. Come on I'll show you where ta start." So for the next few hours the two caught up and finished the last of the preparations, they now were relaxing in the house having dinner.

"So now I want the truth," Jack's carefree face turned a little serious, "How are you holding up?"

Pushing away his untouched meal the pooka sighed, "Ugh, I'm miserable mate. I can't sleep, can't eat, all I do is worry about her. I've never felt so…useless. And with the chaos spreading I feel like we're runnin outta time."

Jack nodded in understanding, "Yeah, and with spring here I'm not used to it still being so cool. Everything just feels wrong. But let's get one thing straight, you are not useless. You've been doing everything you can and I know that soon all that work is going to pay-" But he stopped midsentence and cocked his head to the side. Bunny's ears perked but all he heard was the wind outside.

"Uh, you alright there mate?"

"What?!" was all Jack said as he rushed out of the house with Bunnymund rushing behind, completely baffled. He found the teen outside holding a plant with a brilliant smile on his face.

"Frostbite what the bloody hell is goin on?!"

"Wind says he's been in contact with Nat! She sent this, although I'm not sure why."

Bunny snatched the flower from him and inhaled deeply, smiling when he caught a trace of his beloved's scent. "It's yarrow mate. Symbolizes good health. She's lettin' us know she's ok." Jack sighed in relief as Bunny continued, "Did the wind say anythin' else? Anythin' at all?"

"Oh you can bet yer nelly on it," Jack said in a fake Australian accent while still smiling, "Nat's in Spain, and Wind can take us to her directly."

Hope surged through Bunny and all he wanted to do was make a tunnel and rush to spain as quickly as possible. But logic took over his brain and instead he said, "Come on, we gotta get ta North's."

~~At the Workshop~~

"So now that we know where Nat is, what's our plan?" Tooth asked.

Sandy rang his bell and made a picture of a calendar and some eggs. "Sandy is right," North stated. "We will need to wait a few more days, until after Easter. That way belief will be high, and we will be strong."

Bunny frowned but nodded, "As much as I hate waitin' yer right. We need ta be at our best. Did Nathaniel find out anythin' about Eris?"

The Russian shrugged, "Well according to him, the last time she came to Earth she ran into Pitch and the two became very….physical. But he learned she has destroyed multiple other worlds with her chaos after she does the beings become so insane they destroy each other until there is nothing left."

Jack rubbed the back of his neck, "So all we have to do is find Pitch and get him to screw Eris til she goes home? Hm, good plan, too bad he's been turned to dust and won't be regenerated for at least a few centuries!" He huffed and crossed his arms, "This is crazy! Nathaniel's info was practically useless, and we are no closer to coming up with a decent plan to save Nat!"

North put a large hand on the teen's shoulder, "It seems impossible, yes. But that will not stop us Jack. As long as we believe in each other, we will be victorious."

Jack looked to his fatherly figure, "How North? How?" The Guardian of wonder turned to open window in the ceiling.

"It is a good question Manny. How can we defeat her?" The moon's glow softened the light in the room and calmed the five members in it. Two words were heard in their minds before he went silent once more.

"You can't."

Everyone's eyes widened in shock at what they heard. "Can't?" Bunny asked incredulously, "What do ya mean can't?! Nat's my wife and if you think I'm gonna-"

"Bunny," North interrupted, "Be calm. This does not change anything, we are going to rescue Nat and your children if it is the last thing we do. But for now until we have good plan, we must rest. And you must make sure Easter goes very well, use these last two days to the fullest." There was still a frown, but the rabbit nodded. "Everyone else, either keep up with your duties or get some rest."

On that note everyone went their separate ways for the night. North however did not retire, for hours he paced in his workshop until somehow he ended back in the globe room. His gaze moved to the moon, baring the smallest hint of a glare. "I do not understand old friend, how there be nothing we can do? Our world is at stake and you want us to sit by and let it happen?" After speaking he settled in a chair and stared at the moon, trying to find an answer. Many minutes of silence went by as he pondered what Manny had said earlier. "Please my friend, there must be something."

A bit to his surprise another word was spoken to him, "Together."

"Together? You are being very cryptic tonight do you know that?" First Manny said they couldn't defeat her, and now he's saying they need to nothing together? The poor man was baffled at the riddle. Eventually something clicked and North began to laugh softly as the faint traces of an idea began to form in his head.

"Oh I see, we cannot defeat her, but that does not mean we cannot stop her." He then leapt up, invigorated by the chance of a possible idea, and retreated to his quarters, while the moon continued to smile in silence.

Ooh what is North planning? So I know this chapter was really short but I'm going on vacation til Monday and I just wanted to get something out there. And slowly an idea is starting to form on how to beat Eris and hopefully it will be involving some battle. But like I said this one's forming as I go so I apologize for the boring filler chap. Anywho I promise when I get back I will do my damndest best to get something exciting in here! But to you all my ever patient viewers, here's a cookie (::) enjoy as I walk away in shame of this…
