I just gave myself butterflies with my own story. Is that weird?
Revenge of the Red Pen- sorry you had to read Cold Poison. It was a failed experiment. I may go back and try to re-do it when this is over. Hey! Be patient with me, this is only my second fanfic and my third story overall in my life :)
Thanks again for your reviews and support. You are the best!
Sandy flew out the window and North ran to his sleigh, yelling instructions to his yetis.
Bunny and Gretchen glared at each other.
"Now what?" she asked.
"Now, you follow me" said Bunny, his paw tapping the ground.
"No way! I travel alone" she replied.
"You heard North!" he said, annoyed.
"He's not my boss and neither are you!" said the groundhog.
Bunny felt a headache coming and he massaged the bridge of his nose with his thumb and index fingers.
"You really are determined to be a pain in the bum, aren't ya?" he said, grabbing her by the arm and throwing her not so gently through the tunnel.
"Hey!" she protested "don't you ever put your dirty paws on me again or you'll loose them! Are you kidding me?! Is that a way to treat a lady?!" she continued.
As they traveled through the tunnel she protested some more. And some more. And then some more. And suddenly: silence.
When Gretchen came out of the hole, she saw the huge tornado devouring the big city. The skyscrapers were no match for the twister's power. People were trapped, screaming, praying. The heavy rain was pouring, clouding her senses. It must have been dawn, but the sky was as black as a moonless midnight, only illuminated by lightning.
"Finally you're qui..." said Bunny coming out as well.
His eyes were wide with surprise when he realized what was happening. When Jack said it was the end of the world, the pooka thought Snowflake was exaggerating. Bunny was wrong. It was exactly the end of the world.
"Lead the way, boss!" she said
"Oh, now I'm the boss?!" he said.
"You're the all mighty Guardian, aren't you?"
"OK, I say... Lets help as many people as we can while we look for the fairies." said Bunny, throwing his boomerang to a car windscreen, allowing the trapped people to escape.
"Are you always this stupid? We can't waste time helping anyone, we have to get the fairies out of here ASAP! We can't risk loosing the Tooth Fairy, we'll need everyone to fight Gaia!" said Gretchen, following close behind.
"You can't expect me to do nothing about these people!" Bunny said, a bit louder than necessary.
"I thought you loved her..." said Gretchen, looking down at the pavement.
"I do love Toothie but... wait a minute!" he stopped and turned around so quickly that the Groundhog bumped into him.
He grabbed both her arms to stop her from falling backwards. Their bodies were really close, almost touching. Their faces just inches away.
"Why do you care if I love her?" his eyes were searching her, but her expression was carefully blank. There was a very long silence.
"I couldn't care less, but no one will survive unless we stop Gaia and we'll need all the help we can get. There's thousands of fairies out there and millions of people in danger and there's no way we can save them all. If we don't stop Gaia, none of these people will stand a chance." she said, looking straight back at him. They were still so close. "Can you let go of me, now?!" she said, trying to sound annoyed.
"Sure, er, you're right, we'll... get the fairies" he said, pushing her away as if she was burning his skin. He thanked the heavens that she couldn't see his blush underneath his fur "we just have to find one of them and she'll lead us to the rest."
Jack and Baby Tooth were still battling the storm through Europe. They were working tirelessly, having already rescued hundreds of fairies, using North's portals to safely drop the injured little ones at the Tooth Palace- time after time hoping to run into Tooth, but no such luck- and back to Armageddon at a different location.
He had just found a group of fairies on a roof top. They smiled and some of them swooned when they saw him. He was quite used to the reaction by now.
"C'mon little ones, your're safe now. Lets take you home." he said, carefully picking them up and putting them in his pocket.
"Jack Frost!" said Seraphina, standing behind him.
The voice startled Jack, who jumped up and turned around, his staff ready to attack.
"What are you?" he said, looking at the horrifying figure in front of him.
"You should know who I am, you've been messing with my work for months." she said.
"Frankly, I'm glad. Are you responsible for all this?" he asked.
"Of course I am. Mmmm I wonder how hot does it need to get for a winter spirit to melt?" she said, just as the tree closer to Jack caught on fire.
The Guardian attacked her with his staff to no avail, his ice melting before reaching her. He ordered the wind to take him up, but the wind didn't obey, the soft breeze just caressed his face.
"Who are you? How are you doing this?" he asked.
Everything around Jack was now on fire, the unbearable heat blurring his senses. He felt sick, sweat drops falling from his forehead. The wind caressed his face trying to cool him down to no avail. Baby Tooth was frantically hovering around him, unsure of what to do.
"You know who I am, Jack. I'm Mother Nature. Your powers are nothing compared to mine and now you'll pay for interfering with my job. But not before we answer that little question that is bothering you." she said, smiling maliciously as a strong wind flew Baby Tooth towards her.
Jack wanted to scream but his throat was dry, his eyes threatening to close.
Tooth was looking for her fairies in South America.
"Sandy? What are you doing here?" asked Tooth.
Sandy made sand images over his head.
NORTH- MOUTH- SANDY- TOOTH- GAIA+PITCH
"Pitch has... Mother Nature? Is that what's happening?"
The golden man nodded.
"And North sent you to help me?"
Sandy nodded again. She was about to protest, when she saw Jack through Baby Tooth's eyes.
"Sandy!" she whispered grabbing his arm. "We need to help Jack!" her face was ghostly pale.
