Wolfie: Okay, I got a LOT of favorites and follows and more reviews! So, I've already written the 3rd chapter. ^_^

Avery: So, what's gonna happen this time?

Wolfie: Read and find out.. :3

Jack: Reading takes too much time. :/

Wolfie: You've been around for more than 300 years and reading a book is a long time for you?!

Jack: Yep.

Chapter 3: Questioning

"Okay, so what do you want to explain to me?" Avery asked. She was sitting at the end of Jaime's bed, watching the lead Guardian as he paced back and forth, glancing occasionally at her. Their gazes were a little uncomfortable because they all were just staring at her.

"You think she's the new Guardian? Like what MiM showed us?" Tooth asked softly, loud enough for the team to hear her, but not for the humans.

"She's wearing the same clothes as the figure." Bunny said, scratching his long ear, remembering what the crystal had formed back at Santa's workshop. They all stared at her again. Comparing her clothes and and facial features to the crystal. They compared every sinlge mark, from the color of her jacket to the locks of hair on her head. She blushed slightly of embarrasement.

"Can you do it again?" North asked, stopping his pacing to settle infront of the girl. Avery sighed deeply and held out both of her hands, she rested her elbows on her legs and sat Indian-Style on Jaime's bed. With her palms turned up, she closed her eyes and summoned an animal to their room.

"Oh my..." Tooth sighed. Avery opened her eyes and saw that she had summoned a green-smoked Grizzly Bear to the room. It went around, sniffing everything and looking curiously with it's black eyes. It went around Bunny and started to sniff his butt.

"Ah!" He scurried away from the beast, covering his tail. "Hey, watch it!" The Pooka glared at the Grizzly, challenging him with his eyes. The bear growled back and dashed towards Bunnymund. His eyes widened and he started to hop around the room, bouncing off of the walls. But the Grizzly was chasing him no matter what, somewhat gaining speed.

"Stop it!" Avery shouted. Suddenly, the bear froze. It's mouth was wide, sharp teeth inches away from eating Bunnymund's round tail. Bunny jumped away from the unmoving bear. "Uh...keep on going...?" The bear started to then chase Bunny again.

"HEY!?" He called out, trying to save his tail again. The chuckles from everyone else in the room could be heard from miles away. The game continued for almost 30 mintues, with Avery saying stop and go as the bear chased Bunnymund more and more. She finally called off and the bear and summoned it away when she was technically grabbing her stomach in laughter.

The Easter Bunny stomped over to Avery until he was technically in her face. "You think that's funny?' He glared down at her.

"No...That was hilarious!" She laughed again, this time at his expression. He bared his teeth in intimidation, angry at her for laughing at him in his face. But when she looked up at him with happy eyes, his face softened. He glared down at the floor and stepped away, finding the floor more interesting than showing his face.

'He just let her get away with laughing at him...HE NEVER LETS ME DO THAT?!' Jack thought in shock. North looked towards the Pooka with a raised eyebrow.

"North...can I talk to you...outside." Bunny said lowly, but sounding almost angry at himself. North nodded silently and the two nodded and stood outside of the door.

"Well that was fun." Avery smiled and crossed her arms over her chest, smiling at herself.

"Thank you. You just made my day." Jack said, smiling also. Glad that Bunnymund had gotten chased by the bear.

"So when'd you learn you could do that?" Tooth asked, smiling politely. And so, Avery went on telling the story of how Jaime had helped her master her ability.

"So, what would you like to talk to me about?" North asked. Bunnymund leaned against the wall next to the door. Nurses and Seniors walked by casually, most not even seeing the two strange visitors.

"Well, I was just extremely mad at Avery, mate, and I almost wanted to pull her hair out. Like how I feel about Jack sometimes. But when she looked up at me...something changed. I couldn't stay mad at her. I thought you might know why I felt like that."

"Do you have a crush on-"

"EWWW! Of course not, mate! On a human?! Oh-"

"Okay, okay. I was just asking." North said, stopping the Pooka in his rant. North tapped his fingers on his swords and stared at Bunny.

'She can control and summon animals...She's a Guardian...Bunnymund is a bunny...wait a minute!' North thought. His face brightened and a smile spread across his face.

"I got it!" He cried happily. He swung his swords around with delight.

"Ah! Be careful, mate. You're about to slice my head off!"

"She's an Animal Spirit!"

"...What?"

"She's an Animal Spirit. She controls the animals and since you're...a bunny...she can con-"

"What do you mean 'she can control me to'?! I'm the Easter Bunny, not someone's puppet!" Bunnymund furrowed his eye brows.

"Sorry Bunny. But believe it or not, you're an animal." Bunnmund sighed and rolled his eyes. He pushed back the door and the two walked back into the room. North, joyful as usual, and Bunny, hot-tempered as usual. Avery was just finishig up her story, so the two didn't really hear much of it.

"So...what else do you guys want to know about my..abilities?" Avery asked, with a light blush on her face from all the attentive eyes on her. The 5 Guardians stared at her, trying to figure out what to say and how exactly to say it.

'She does look like the figure in the crystal...maybe we should take her back to North's place and see some more of her abilities. And if she is a Guardian, then we'll need her to adjust to us anyway.' Tooth thought warmly.

"Idea!" North shouted, happy that he was the first to speak. Avery sighed in relief, the stares were making her extremely uncomfortable. "You can come to North Pole and we'll see your skills!" He said in his heavy accent.

"N-north Pole? You mean Sant-...I mean your workshop? The place where you make toys?" Avery asked, her eyes huge.

'This is every child's dream?! To go to Santa's Workshop! I'M GOING TO SANTA'S WORKSHOP! I hope I look okay, there's nothing in my teeth right?'

"Of course! We go, now!" He said, holding up a snowglobe and throwing close to Jaime's front door. Jaime lightly touched Avery's arm. She turned to him and his face brightened at her huge smile and dancing eyes.

"I love you, Avery." He said simply, letting his arm fall onto the bed with a plop.

"I love you to, Granddad." She kissed his forehead and pulled up his blankets more on his bed. "Do you need anything before I leave?"

He loved his granddaughter. He loved how she'd always want to make sure he was taken care for before she left him each day she came. He loved the fact that she believed in the Guardians and all the tales he told of them. He loved the fact that she had an amazing gift and he helped her master it. He loves the fact that she might be a Guardian. He knew it was probably bound to happen one day. She was gifted. She protected her loved ones anyway she could and would technically demolish those who messed with them. She was born a Guardian. Whether she was chosen or just destined, she was made to be a Guardian. He knew what the others were thinking. That she probably wasn't a Guardian, but he knew. He may be old, but he hasn't lost his mind yet.

His granddaughter was a Guardian.

"I'm just fine. I'm absolutely fine." He said, nodding slowly. Avery smiled softly and stood up on her feet. Jack watched the scene unfold between the two with each movement.

'She cares for him so much. And he does, her. Sometimes when I'd visit Jaime, he'd talk about Avery alot. But he never knew their bond was so strong. Between Grandpa and granddaughter, their bond was unbreakable. Jaime'd always say how she had either gotten an 'A' on her tests or how big she had become eversince she was just 8 years old. He made it sound like she was a smart and caring person. . . .He made her seem like she'd be a great Guardian.' He thought as he stared at her walking towards him. She was doing. . .something. Jack didn't know exactly what she was doing because he was so lost in his thoughts, which was rare. All he knew was, she was doing something. . .weird.

He liked weird. He smirked. Jaime had said she was funny. When he heard a snapping noise by his ear, he was brought away from his thoughts. "Huh, what?" He asked with wide eyes.

"You were staring at me. Are you ok?" She asked with her eyes brows furrowed in confusion.

"Yeah, of course. Pfft, why...why wouldn't I be?!" He blushed of embarrasement. He had been staring? He didn't know he was doing that! He rubbed the back of his neck. The two turned and noticed that the other Guardians had already went through the portal and it was sitting there, waiting for them.

"Okay, whatever you say."

"Now c'mon, let's go to his workshop." Jack said, trying to drive the conversation away from his staring. He grabbed her wrist and technically dragged her towards the colorful portal.

"Whoa, slow down!" She said, trying to break out of his grip. The next thing she knew, he was throwing her in. "JAAAAAAAACCCKKKK!" She yelled, but he didn't hear her because she had already lost sight of him. She looked around and saw millions of different colors spinning around her. Her brown hair was kinda floating. Before she could register if she was able to breathe or not, she was on the other side of the portal. In North's Workshop. Her back hit the ground with a thud, her head being the first thing to land. She groaned painfully.

"Hmff!" Immediately, there was a force on her. She opened her eyes and saw that Jack had landed ontop of her and the portal had closed as soon as he came through. He looked up at her face and blushed, probably looking identical to her expression.

"You two got close really fast." Bunnymund smirked, tossing his boomerang up and down in the air. The two pushed away from each other and stood up. Getting as far away from them as they could.

"Oh shut up, furball. At least I didn't back down just because of a stare." Jack smirked, referring to when Bunny had surrendered to Avery back at the hospital for making a bear chase him. Avery chuckled and he glanced at her.

'Nice laugh.' He thought.

Wolfie: I know, probably a bad spot end a chapter, but...

Jack: . . . .

Wolfie: Your speechless. Jack, you're never speechless. (e.e)

Every1: . . . .

Wolfie: C'mon guys! Don't give me the silent treatment?! What did I do to deserve this?!

Every1: *leaves the room* *except Sandy*

Sandy: . . . . .!

Wolfie: . . . . Yeah, that doesn't really help. Sorry, Sandy.
