Wrapping
Tooth wasn't someone you'd think would pull a prank.
Unless you got to know her.
And then you'd learn, most probably from experience.
Poor Jack had to learn the hard way. At least it wasn't that bad of a prank.
It all happened a few Christmases after Jack became a Guardian. They'd gathered together in the sitting room after North had returned, and prepared for the gifting of cards. Tooth had paused them for a moment and had her fairies fly a box inside the room. The Guardians didn't often give presents, but it could happen. This one was addressed to Jack , and he was too wrapped up in watching the fairies fly the box to him to notice the amused looks everyone exchanged.
Tooth urged him to open it, and he tore away the wrapping paper to get to the gift inside. He unpacked the flaps to find another wrapped box inside. His brows furrowed as the others stifled laughter. He brought out the new box, shaking it a bit. He continued on, finding wrapped box after wrapped box. The Guardians were laughing openly now, including Jack.
Blue paper.
Then red.
Rainbow.
Wait, were those Easter eggs on that one?
Finally he reached the middle, surrounded by discarded paper and boxes. He slid open the thin box and pulled out the object inside.
It was wrapped in Duct tape.
Sandy and Bunny fell off their seats at Jack's expression. North's laughter shook the windows, and Tooth had to land in order to control herself.
Jack heaved a sigh and then went to work peeling away at the sticky stuff. It took nearly five minutes for him to unveil the clear box with a sock monkey inside.
"You guys are . . Impossible."
With this, he too collapsed into laughter.
They would finally quiet down and then somebody would giggle again, setting them all off.
They were all exhausted by the time they were done.
And if anyone noticed how Jack cuddled up next to the monkey, they didn't say anything.
