"Who is this girl?" Jack says getting up with the help of the wind.
"This is Manny's daughter… Nocturne." North says holding his arms out to Tara.
"Woah, old man. No one calls me Nocturne except the children." Tara says and her sword glows a little.
"Old man?" North says and looks angry. Like a red tomato with some Palomino Peppers.
"Yeah… You are an old man with some respect of guiding these guardians to fight, but sometimes I wonder if Sandy or Emma should lead?"
"I've been leader since the beginning!" North says red and everyone close to him takes a few steps back.
"Times have changed Fatty! Emma is born in this time and knows what kids like! Her or Sandy should! Sandy can tell their dreams!"
"Sandy is no more…" Scarlet says looking down.
"How do you know he's dead?" Tara says turning to Scarlet.
"Shadow saw him die…"
"Then Shadow is wrong. None of you truly die. If all hope was lost Bunnymund would turn into a cute miniature bunny and hop around. If kids stop believing in North he grows old. If people stop believing in Tooth she loses her feathers and ability to fly. If people stop believing in Jack he is almost a normal kid. If people stop believing in Sandy he vanishes into the wind, but is still alive."
"So if Pitch kills him he is still alive?"
"Do you think I'd lie to you?" Tara says and points to the sky. Manny was not there and everyone is confused. "He's right there… In that very spot."
"How do you know he is?" North says still bright red.
"Watch…" Tara says and pulls out her sword and a light beam shots into the air revealing a figure that looked like Sandy.
"Sandy!" Tooth shouts in joy.
"I can bring him back to his normal…" Tara starts to say, but is interrupted.
"What are you waiting for?" North says joyful again.
"Your permission." Tara says clapping her hands and dust starts to fly towards Sandy and swirls around and around. "I present you Mr. Sanderson Mansnoozie." Tara says motions and Sandman appears in normal form.
"Sandy!" North says joyfully and puts his arms out as if to hug Sandy.
"No need to…" Tara says then is grabbed into a hug by North squashing her. "…Thank… Me…" Tara manages to choke out through North's jacket and he lets her go and she is off balance and almost falls.
"Thank you!" North says laughing as Tara regains her balance with Sandy's help.
"You're welcome…" Tara mumbles putting her hand on her head. "Now I should really be going…"
"Oh, please don't go!" Tooth says depressed and was begging her.
"I'm sorry, but…" Tara stops talking and everyone except Sandy is confused. "I can stay, but for a good reason." Tara says and North looks to hug her again, but she moves out of his reach.
"I think that's enough hugging…" Jack says putting his staff between Tara and North.
"Alright…" North says smiling clearly forgetting the insults.
"May I ask if I can see your globe?" Tara says pushes Jack's staff aside and throws and snowball at him and it was a direct hit in the face.
"No fair!" Jack says throwing a hard one at her and misses hitting Cupid in his wing.
"Dang you!" Cupid says turning red in pain and holds his wing.
"Sorry…" Jack says looking embarrassed because Cupid rarely got mad.
"I would've healed his wing if I knew how…" Emma says when everyone looks at her.
"I guess I must help him…" Tara says emitting a grey light and then his wing starts to glow with the same light. "It should be ok now, but a little sore." Tara says when his wing stops glowing.
"Thanks…?" Cupid says opening his wing and flapping it and coming off the ground. It not had a bright white on it and it went well with the red and pink.
"Back to the problem… Can I see the globe?"
"Of course!" North says humbly and leads them all to the globe room. It took and few minutes to return, but still felt quick.
"Phil!" North says and one of the yetis looks up and notices Tara.
"Uh!" Phil yells and all the yetis look at her and stop working. One of the elves drops the eggnog he was drinking and every one of the workers stares at Tara.
"No need to stare…" Tara says bowing like a boy, but nicely like a girl. "Return to what you were doing." At this they all went back to work and some elves brought our cookies, eggnog, hot chocolate, and a coffee for Bunnymund.
"So when are you so famous?" Jack says playfully because none of them knew her.
"I'm guardian of the stars and the galaxies. I can control dreams like Sandy, Pitch, Scarlet, and… I'm not going to tell the rest. They wouldn't like me to."
"Are you talking about Jack O' Lantern, April, Samhain, and uh… Who was the other…?" North says thinking in deep thought.
"My father and another, but they'll kill me if I told and theycankill me." Tara says turning to the globe.
"I think I know who…?" Jack says smirking and Tara turns to him in fright because only she and her father could survive meeting them, unless you count them turning you in a death angel. Pitch might be able to survive, though, because he controlled darkness, but no one else.
"Tell me they didn't kill you!" Tara says and everyone looks at her and Jack with earnest.
"I'm still here and good…"
"I'd like to see that…" Bunnymund says and everyone ignores him.
"Tell me she didn't kill you… and make it believable."
"She didn't kill me and I'm as believable as I can be."
"You know if you met her you would die… Anyone even seeing her dies… Me and my father are the exception and maybe Pitch."
"Are you talking about Roseanne?" Scarlet says and Tara turns to her with seriousness in her eyes.
"You met her?"
"Why she's my cousin… She was good, but turned evil because of the devil and his evil angels…" Scarlet says and everyone except Tara wonders about it.
"I'm guessing you and your father are ok to her, but…" Tara turns back to Jack. "If you even see anyone suspicious let me know.
"You're suspicious with your secrets…?" Jack says and Tara turns and off shade of black. She turned black when made or blushing. In this case mad.
"YOU THINKG YOU'RE SO CHUMMY! SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND YOU MIGHT LIVE LONGER!" Tara yells and everyone looks surprised and almost scared. "ROSEANNE IS A DEVIL NOW AND YOU CAN'T BE NEAR HER! SHE WAS GOING TO BE GRANTED A GIFT FROM MY FATHER, BUT THE DEVIL TURNED THE ANGEL BAD AND HER, TOO! IF YOU EVER GOT GOOD FORTURNE FROM HER YOU DIE PAINFULLY AND YOU SOMETIMES HEAR HER WINGS BEAT! FOR ALL I KNOW I'M HER NEXT TARGET!" Tara says then realizes her mistake.
"It's ok…" Scarlet says and her eyes turn Scarlet color with black in them.
"I'm so sorry…" Tara says then looks up at the globe. "I'm not here to get myself killed or to get mad… I'm here to save Storm from herself."
"Save Storm from herself?" Bunnymund says and everyone looks at him angrily. "She doesn't even belong here. She doesn't want to make kids happy."
"She was created by my dad!" Tara says and her height seems to grow over Bunnymund's everyone else's. "Pitch took control of her mid and she snapped! Don't you dare say my dad made a mistake! You said that about Jack and look at him now! He's a guardian… and annoying…"
"Hey!"
"But he's still a guardian and he protects children just like you! How would you like it if I deleted you from these very stars!?" Tara says and doesn't care she was losing her temper.
"Deleting me from these very stars?" Bunnymund says with earnest and fear.
"I can delete anyone from existence, but I don't unless that person will end the world or if my dad says not to. He would just bring them back anyway…"
