(I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE EXISTING CHARACTER EXCEPT MY OWN AND THIS STORY! OPINION NEEDED PEOPLE! Her pranks. They get better as you find out more about her. She was knocked out and emotional up til now. Should I send her on a downward spiral or I should I let her and Jack get closer first? I need those reviews with your opinion withing the next two chapters so I can start figuring things out.)

How Do You Love Someone?

Chapter 7 - Past Exploits

"Or, she is the holder of the power, at least." Cupid's pink eyes alighted on each Guardian before sliding towards the dozing girl. Fey had slipped in her seat and was now leaning against North who didn't seem to mind. Her salmon pink lips were parted and her long lashes brushed against her cheeks. Tooth played idly with her hair as they spoke about the girl who would never know the truth about herself.

That fact made Jack wish he could wake her up. She deserved to know. Just like he had deserved to know his own past. What had made him accept being a Guardian in the end.

"Shouldn't that stop Darkness? I mean-" Tooth was cut off quickly when Cupid leaned forward with his newest information.

"It can. But not as it is. She holds the power. But she can't control it. Think of her as the cord between the battery and the lamp. The battery; Creation as it were, can exist on it's own. But if someone; the lamp, wanted to use it, it would need a cord to channel the power." Cupid was given strange stares at the analogy but it was dropped quickly enough. Darkness was a threat. A big one. And if her power could be harnessed then they could win.

"But-"

"There's always a but, mate" Bunnymund groaned as Cupid continued.

There's a catch yes. Only the one to break my lock can use her power. And unless any of you are willing to torment her til she breaks, you have to find her soul-mate. It would be someone who can match her. Her playful spirit. And her fondness for jokes and pranks." Cupid chuckled. "You guys should know all about the pranks."

Bunnymund snorted in remembrance of the long ago joke. While Sandy drew up pictures of cakes and eggs and Fey and his fellow Guardians.

"From Sandy's side, it seems more like a party then a prank" Jack laughed as he spun his staff and leaned it against his shoulder. The older Guardians burst out in noisy conversation at the topic.

"More then one prank Jack and it wasn't a party." - Bunny.

"Bunny is angry about time Fay painted eggs Halloween colors." -North. Jack released a chuckle at Bunny's expense.

"She ruined half my stock! Kids were crying cause the eggs were badly colored!" -Bunny again.

"And she pranked Tooth with hundreds of balloons filled with glitter and streamers. Those poor baby teeth had voices so high only dogs could hear 'em after those ballons popped and the helium got released. Plus all the glitter made a mess." -Bunny. Jack felt a bit sorry for the baby teeth here but it still sounded funny.

"She apologized after a few days when the commotion died down. She even had her Imps help me collect teeth for a bit. Besides the glitter was actually kind of pretty." -Tooth always seeing the brighter side of things.

"Then what about North. He got pranked twice. Once was a small cake with a balloon filled with glitter in it's center. It popped and exploded the cake when North cut into it and got icing and sparkles all over the place. It was in North's beard for days. His beard, mate." -Bunny again but North chuckled at the memory. Apparently she had brought another matching cake that was edible as an apology.

"And she did it again. She put fire crackers on the cake instead of candles and YOU were the one to light them North. They scared all the elves, the Yeti's dove for cover and you got cake in your face again!" - This time Jack had to laugh at Bunny's description. She sounded like the firecrackers she supposedly slipped into North's cake. To bad he hadn't met her before all this Darkness stuff tossed her off her game.

"She gave me bigger cake after. Said sorry for lighting beard on fire" North shrugged and the whole crowd burst into laughter. And Fey jolted awake, bleary eyed and sleepy still. They had woken her up twice now with their noise. The other time being at North's place. She had sleepily questioned about the noise and Tooth simply stated that they were laughing at some of her previous works. She had turned a soft red and muttered something about new pranks coming in the future.

"Can I help you plan a prank for the kangaroo?" Jack's excited question had Fey's gold eyes sparkling in delight. Bunny bitched about how he would have his revenge if Jack did help her.

"Sandman helped me the first time, you know."

The following silence only lasted a few seconds before Sandy realized she had just tossed him to the dogs. Bunny immediately hopped onto the subject as Fey slipped out from between North and Tooth to sit besides Jack.

"I was thinking maybe a glitter blizzard four days before Easter. I'm sure the Kids would love sparkly eggs. Even if they are a bit to girly for Bunny" And Jack wholly agreed with her, shaking her hand. A spark jumped between his palm and her's and they laughed at the static shock. Even if they didn't notice the knowing look a tired Cupid gave them.

"And so it begins."
