"What's the plan?"

"First, we need the others to help. And Pitch…"

"Hm?"

"Bring back Tooth's fairies when we're done with this." Jack and I went back to her palace, Pitch trailing slightly behind us.

"Ah Joy! There you are!" North yelled, "I see Jack convinced you to come back, well done."

"Not exactly; you wanna tell them?" Jack asked me.

The Guardians eyed me suspiciously, "OK…I need your help."

"With what exactly?" Bunny asked.

"She wants to help me," they gasped at Pitch's words, "and requires your assistance."

"Not after you took my fairies and all the teeth!"

"Please, all he wants is to be believed in," I pleaded.

"And destroy us," North added.

"No, not anymore. He's not as bad as you think."

"Sure, sorry mate but I'm out."

I turned to Jack and Pitch, "Looks like we're doing this on our own."

"Let's go."

When we were far enough away from the Guardians, Pitch asked, "So what is your plan?"

"Well think of it like this, when I was little I wasn't scared of you, but I could still see you. I have the power to make children believe in anything, anything."

"So you're going to make them believe in me?"

"All of us," I opened my bag, "Take some and spread it to every child in the world. They will believe in us…and Pitch?"

"Hm?"

"No scaring them."

"I'll try to resist," Well it's better than nothing. We split up, spreading the dust over all parts of the world. After passing each house, children started waving to me and I waved back. I was seen and I loved it. We all bumped into each other a few times and after a while, decided we were done and headed back to Pitch's lair to bring back all the fairies and teeth.

We were surprised to see the Guardians already there, "Um hi."

"'Ello Joy, still helping the enemy I see," Bunny answered.

"He's not the enemy, not anymore."

"Might I ask, what are you doing in my lair? I mean, it seems awfully rude to break in."

"We're getting my fairies back!"

"Well that saves us the trip," Jack commented.

"What you mean?" North asked.

"We were going to bring back all of Tooth's stuff, but oh well."

"We could still use your help," Tooth said. We agreed, Pitch unlocked all the cages and everyone had armfuls of tooth canisters that we were bringing back to Tooth's Palace.

"Joy did your plan really work?" Bunny asked.

"Yeah, no thanks to you," maybe that was a bit mean…

"Sorry but helping Pitch isn't a top priority of mine," I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't blame him after all, he didn't know Pitch the way I did.

After we put back all of Tooth's teeth (that sounds really weird) North brought up an old topic I was hoping to avoid, "Joy, do you want to be Guardian?"

"You still want me, even after I 'sided with the enemy?'" I raised my eyebrow.

"Joy, whether you like it or not, you are a Guardian," Tooth said.

"They're right you know," a familiar voice said.

"Ah Man in Moon, please explain to Joy she is Guardian."

"Joy, you are a Guardian, but you don't have to make it official if you don't want to."

"What do you mean? The other day you were on my case about making it official."

"Yes, but now you have fulfilled your main purpose; you can do whatever you want."

"What was my purpose?" Was I really only needed for a few day then to be forgotten again?

"Pitch, why don't you tell Joy how you feel?"

"About what?" Pitch said, nervously.

"Do not play that game my friend, tell her."

Pitch sighed, "Joy?" I looked at him questioningly, "I-I think I might…I do…love you." I was speechless, Does he really mean that? He loves me too? I smile spread across my face.

"I love you too." Before I knew it, he wrapped his arms around me in a big hug. We pulled back a little and looked into each others eyes, our lips met and it was pure bliss.

I turned to the moon, "What is my purpose then?"

"You and Pitch are meant to be together. You bring out the best in him," I looked at Pitch who shrugged with a smile; I smiled back, "You are a Guardian because you keep fear from taking over. You also make children believe in not only him, but also Jack and yourself. You bring joy to children by keeping away fear and bringing fun; you also bring belief, those are your centers. That is your purpose."

"Thank you."

"Joy, you want to be Guardian?" North asked.

"Sure."

"Great," North brought out a large book and began reciting an oath which I agreed to. "Congratulations, you are Guardian."

THE END

A/N Sorry for the short chapter; and that it's a bit choppy. :P
