Chapter 7: Windsong Returns
The next day, a tall woman crept through North's home. She entered the kitchen as the Guardians and Narain were busy devouring their breakfast. Jack and Casey were nowhere to be found. As she stepped into the lighted kitchen, North, his blue eyes drifting up, smiled when he saw her.
"Windsong!" he exclaimed, catching the others by surprise. Tooth, Sandy, Bunnymund and Narain turned and the older Guardians smiled when their eyes landed on the newcomer. They jumped from their seats and gathered round Windsong.
"Song, it's been way too long." Bunnymund said.
Windsong smiled widely. "It's really great to see you all again, but to be honest, I was hoping that Casey was here."
The older Guardians frowned. "Song, Casey and Jack went a little crazy yesterday." Tooth said.
"Crazy how?" Windsong asked.
"Crazy as in they got their hands on my chocolates and North's chocolate chip cookies and went completely bonkers." Bunnymund elaborated.
"Ah." Windsong said. "Sugar high?" The Guardians nodded. "And I'm guessing Sandy knocked them out?" More nods.
"They will not be happy when they wake up." North said.
"Nope." Windsong said. "They'll be in a sugar-induced type of hangover."
"That ought to be fun for them." Narain said, smiling. Windsong chuckled.
"It'll be interesting to see the little twerps being put in their place for swiping my chocolates." Bunny said. "I was saving those for something special."
"Like yourself?" Tooth asked. Bunny didn't answer, instead, turning away, avoiding eye contact with any of the others.
"So why are you here, Song?" North asked.
Windsong looked into his baby blue eyes. "Same reason as Narain, Jack and Casey: I was called."
"Narain, Jack and Casey were more 'kidnapped' then 'called'." Bunny said, smiling widely.
"Let me guess." Windsong said. "Bunny stuffed Jack in one of North's huge red bags. Tooth stole Casey's staff, her most prized possession, and lured her through a portal. And Sandy knocked Narain out with his dream sand." The older Guardians looked at Windsong in surprise. She rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh come on, you guys have known me since I first became what I am. You should know me better than that."
The older Guardians laughed.
"That is true." North said once he'd caught his breath.
They looked up when they heard two angry, tired and pain-filled voices say: "Would you guys stop all the noise?" Jack and Casey were standing, somewhat, in the doorway. They were actually leaning on each other for support.
"You guys are noisier than the heavy rain storms I cause." Casey continued.
"Casey?" Windsong said. "Is that you?" Said girl looked up at Windsong, her eyes squinting against the light as they looked over her old friend.
"Hey, Windsong." She said, not acting as excited as Windsong had been hoping she would. "It's been a while."
"Twenty years, I believe." Windsong said. "Sorry I haven't been there like I promised." Casey shook her head.
"Don't worry about it. Compared to the hundred and ninety-two years this guy left me alone," she said, gesturing to Jack. "Twenty years is honestly nothing compared to that." Windsong smiled.
"Glad you aren't upset." Windsong said. Casey just waved an hand lazily.
"Maybe you two should be in bed." Tooth said. The two spirits looked up at her.
"If we could, trust us, that's where we'd be." Jack said.
"It's our fault we have these stupid sugar hangovers." Casey said. "We honestly think we shouldn't be allowed to sleep."
"Eh, it's not like you could really resist." Bunny said, stepping closer to Jack and Casey. "My chocolates are pretty amazing."
"As are my cookies." North said.
"And you two are still kids." Tooth said.
"Hey, I'm 317 years old!" Jack exclaimed.
"But physically, still seventeen years old," Narain said. "Still a kid. I'm sixteen, a kid, and Casey is fourteen, once again, a kid."
"Does it even matter anyway?" Casey asked. She let go of Jack, rubbing her eyes with her hands and walking towards Windsong. As soon as she was close enough, she pulled Windsong into a tight hug. The much taller woman hugged Casey tightly. "It's great to see you again, Song."
Windsong smiled. "It's great to see you again too, Casey." she said. "Still causing mischief?"
Casey looked up at her, glaring playfully. "Jack causes more mischief then I do. He does hold the number one record on North's naughty list."
"Did you forget, you're number two on that list?"
"No, I'm just pointing out that my mischief isn't quite as bad as Jack's."
"You rained out Easter in 1937!"
"Oh, right! I had forgotten. That's why he hates me."
"Wait a minute." Jack said. "You've been on Bunny's bad side longer then I have?" Casey nodded. Jack whistled in amazement. " That is hilarious."
"You did hear her say she rained out Easter, right?" Narain asked.
"I caused a major blizzard which cancelled Easter." Jack pointed out.
"Which is why I hate you more than Dripperina over there." Bunny said, gesturing to Casey, who had released Windsong from her death-grip hug.
"I feel special." she said.
Windsong chuckled. "Of course you do."
Tooth looked away as one of her mini fairies and nodded. She then turned back to her fellow Guardians. "I have to go. Things to do back at Tooth Palace."
When her friends waved bye, Tooth flew away, right out the window.
Windsong grinned. "She's still flying all over the place."
"Of course!" North exclaimed. "What else do you expect from Tooth!?"
A round of laughter came from everyone, even Casey and Jack, though the two clutched their heads afterwards, which only caused more laughter for the others. Jack and Casey left the room and stumbled back to the guest rooms they were given by North, anxious to get back to sleep.
Unfortunately for them, the bliss of sleep was cut short when North burst into Jack's room and Narain burst into Casey's. Both had the same urgent news to tell the spirits of winter and water:
"Tooth Palace is under siege!"
That woke up the two real quick, their sugar-induced hangover forgotten in an instant.
How was this?
