Chapter 3
'North is holding his annual gathering in a week, and we're required to attend. And anyway, Jack wouldn't miss it. I'll talk to him then, and try to make him see sense.' Tooth decided to use some of Sandy's dream sand and slept calmly, even though there were still dark clouds in her mind.
One Week Later
It was the day of North's gathering, and at the tooth palace, Tooth was giving herself a final look over making sure she looked the best she could then flew off to North's workshop, followed by her entourage of some of the fairies.
She arrived just on time for the beginning and walked in. A large group of creatures were already there. Tooth sent her fairies away and continued to the globe room where the main festivities were taking place.
She was surprised to see her 4 fellow Guardians already there. North and Bunny were having an eggnog drinking competition as they usually did and Jack and Sandy were chatting. When all 4 saw Tooth, they each did different things. Jack started to back away, but was stopped by Sandy. Meanwhile, Bunny and North stopped their competition and left to another room, Sandy following. Obviously, their fellow Guardians wanted them to have some time alone.
'Hey Jack' said Tooth
'Hi' Said Jack, sheepishly.
'So, are you alright? I mean after yesterday' asked Tooth
'I'm fine. I should go talk to some others you know' said Jack turning away
'Jack. Wait.' Said Tooth
Jack didn't stop. He continued towards the large doors.
'JACK!' shouted Tooth 'PLEASE WAIT!
Still, Jack pushed on
'JACKSON OVERLAND FROST! YOU LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW!' Tooth pretty much screeched. This stopped him, he turned back and Tooth sped over to him.
'What is it, Tooth?' said Jack
'Look, yesterday, I overreacted. Sure, I was still a bit sad but I shouldn't have said what I said. Now I'm worried I have ruined my chances of a happy future with you. Look, I love you Jack and I never want us to be apart ever again and I hope you-'she said, stopped by Jack kissing her. Her hands immediately went to his neck and his to her waist. The kiss lasted for what seemed like ages but was only a couple seconds but they had to get air into their lungs. The two grinned
'So I guess that's a yes to my earlier question.' Said Jack
'Hmm? What question?' asked Tooth
'You being my lover' Replied Jack.
'Yes, I guess it is.' Replied Tooth
When the two joined the main group, they were greeted by a large applause, led by their 3 fellow Guardians. The 2 just laughed at this and were individually congratulated by members of the party, including Cupid, The deity of love.
The party went on until the dead of the night, when everyone except the guardians and those who stayed in the workshop had been shooed out. The Guardians all relaxed in one of North's lounges. Sandy floated near the fire, snoozing in mid-air. North and Bunny sat on 2 armchairs and Jack and Tooth were snuggled up on the loveseat. Bunny got an idea then and whispered it to North, who grinned. The Russian got out a box and took out some mistletoe. He snuck round and hung it above the 2 lovers, then cleared his throat to get their attention. They both looked up and saw the mistletoe, then at each other. They both lent in and their lips touched. It was soft and loving, not as quick and passionate as their first one. After they parted, they smiled at each other. North and Bunny started clapping loudly and riotously, waking up poor Sandy. The Sandman was confused and just began clapping as well. Tooth and Jack just chuckled, her leaning into his chest, head resting on his shoulder. The others then quieted down and relaxed. Tooth felt herself dozing off and she succumbed to sleep.
The next morning, she woke up to find herself in the same location, wrapped in Jack's arms. She got up, carefully disentangling herself, but before she could leave, a hand shot out and grabbed hers. She turned round to see Jack sitting up.
'Tooth,' he said 'Please stay.'
'I'm sorry Jack' said Tooth 'I've got to go check at the palace, see if everything's alright'
'OK. But promise me you'll meet me tonight.'
'Sure. 6 o'clock, the palace's main hallway' she replied
Jack just smiled in reply, and then fell back asleep. Tooth gently kissed him on the forehead and whispered
'Sleep well and see you soon, my eternal love' she whispered, then left.
