Jack met Sandy one year after she got her (adorable!) baby brother.

Sandy was a selective mute, and Jack never stopped talking, though he was rather adorably shy when he first met you. Somehow they worked, and they could communicate better than most people could, where Jack was involved. Jack couldn't talk over Sandy, and he could freely babble on as much as he wanted while Sandy made little gestures at him. It made no sense to Tooth, and it definitely wasn't an official sign language, but they managed somehow.

In no time, they were the best of friends.

They did everything together, and Jack could soon speak in their made-up sign language just as fast as he could out loud. They were adorable together, silent and flailing all over, and they were so cute when you startled them! They'd freeze mid-flail and just look at you for a moment, all big startled eyes, before deciding that whatever they were discussing was of the Utmost Importance and returning to it.

It came to the point where you couldn't locate them by sound until Jack laughed. That happened all the time, though, so Tooth was hardly worried about losing them.

One day they went to Jack's first carnival. Sandy was telling him all about them in the back seat, by the looks of it. The two were gesturing impossibly fast, and Tooth thought she recognized some of their gestures. Fun, maybe? And big? Both would describe a carnival.

Finally, they arrived. Their father, Nicholas St. North, got them all out of the car and bought tickets. He was very intimidating and very Russian, but once you got past that he was one of the gentlest people you'd ever met. Jack was bouncing in his seat, and nearly flew out of the car when his door was opened. Sandy was right behind him.

"Wait up, wait for me!" Tooth called. She was their appointed guardian for the day, because she was the only one who could keep up with them. Well, she sort of could. Sometimes.

Mostly it was because their father was going to the sword exhibit, and Tooth refused to have her baby brother corrupted this early.

She finally caught up to them near the gate. "We have to get tickets first. Stick with me," she told them, looking them each in the eye to make sure they understood. When they nodded, she lead them through the crowd.

"Three tickets, please," she ordered. She felt a tug at her side.

"Too, Sandy wants to go to the bathroom!" Jack told her. Great, right when she's busy.

"I need to order our tickets first, can he wait a minute?"

Jack looked at Sandy for a moment, but there was no need for translation when Sandy nodded, dancing a little impatiently. Just then, the ticketman gave them their tickets, and they were free to go.

"Alright, I think the bathrooms are this way," Tooth said. They went quickly to the little oasis next to the entrance, and Tooth waited outside while the boys went to the bathroom.

That done, they proceeded to the rides. Tooth heard "I wanna ride this one!" and "Let's go this way!" enough to last her a lifetime.

It was sunset before she finally put her foot down.

"Alright, one more ride, and then we're leaving. Choose carefully!" She told them.

They made their adorable little flails again, deciding carefully and pointing at every ride at least once, but eventually came to a decision.

"Sandy says we have to go on the merry-go-round, or we haven't been to a carnival," Jack reported.

He was so cute, trying to look all serious! "Okay, sweetie," she cooed. He made an indignant sound at her-right, he was trying to get her to stop calling him that in front of Sandy-and they marched onward. They marched towards the giant wheel.

"Here we go! Are you excited?" She asked the boys. They nodded eagerly, seemingly fascinated by the slow movement of the wheel.

"Look, look, da's down there!" Jack pointed. Sure enough, North had spotted them getting on the wheel and was waving at them from below, squinting into the setting sun. He waved, a tiny figure growing smaller and smaller.

"I wonder if I can see our house from here!" Jack exclaimed. Sandy made flails at him.

"I bet we can find yours, too! Maybe it's that one?"

Tooth smiled as the boys talked and played. She was glad to have her family-all five of them.

So this whole thing was an accident. I didn't mean to continue this at all, but then someone asked where Sandy was, and, and...

This isn't beta'ed because I am ashamed of myself. I hope you managed to enjoy this pitifully small contribution to the great world that is the RotG fandom. *runs away*
