Rose

Rose gasped as the hot chocolate sprayed all over her, drenching her with the sticky beverage. She stood up and flicked her arms out, trying to shake off some of the liquid. All eyes were on her, her dress soaked and clinging to her, the lace of her bra and the hardness of her nipples in the cold North air apparent as her clothes clung to every curve. North cleared his throat to cover his silent staring, Jack and Aster's mouth snapped shut but their eyes still never wavered from her chest. Even North, coughing as he was, let his eyes drink in the sight of her flat belly, her soft curving hips and the v between her legs. Rose flushed a bright red, the coloring creeping up her neck to her face. She tilted her head till her hair came forward to hide her face, the curtain draping over her hips, accentuating it even more. She stepped back, her knees hitting the couch, she felt trapped and exposed. She let out a soft, frightened whimper at the lust she saw in their eyes. This seemed to snap Sandy out of it (as he too was entranced by her dripping body) and he sent his sand to her, covering her in a robe much the same as the one she had on this morning, but thicker. She sent him a look of appreciation and asked "Is there somewhere that I can change clothes at?" she looked at the huge figure that was North. "I would very much appreciate some dry clothes" she snuggled her face into the robe, pulling it up to cover her chin and mouth, her eyes peeking out the top. Sandy thought it was the cutest thing her had ever seen.

North jumped up, startling Tooth who was perched on the couch arm next to him, oblivious up until then, busy with her fairies. "Ill take you to washroom! I have no clothes but you have robe to wear till they dry." he sent her a mischevious smile, probably meant to reassure her, but the lust and insinuation impossible to miss. Tooth looked from North to her and back again before smacking North on the back of the head. "North! Stop it right now!" she continued to yell at him as she dragged him out of the room by his ear; he had enough decency to look abashed.

After Tooth and North left the room, Jack shook his head and nudged Aster, who blinked and met his eyes. "Bunny and I are getting tired, I am sure we can hear all about your parents the next time we meet, huh Rose?" Jack glanced at her apologetically. She gave him a small smile and Bunny tapped his foot on the floor, opening up a huge hole. Rose gasped and leaned over the hole. "Oh! Where does it go?" she asked Bunny excitedly, clutching the robe around her. Aster grinned proudly "to the Warren, home of Easter, hope, and enternal springtime."

Rose was just about to ask if she could come and look around when Tooth came in the room, arms crossed as she glared out the door, gesturing for something to follow. In came North, hanging his head. Tooth nudged him towards the rest of the group, an expectant look on her face. North glanced at her and then looked up at Rose. "I am sorry for my actions Rose, I did not mean to make you feel unwelcome. Your beauty distracted me, and for that I apologize. I promise not to do so in the future. And I NEVER break my promises." Rose nodded. "It is okay, North, I forgive you." She gestured at the couch, inviting Tooth and North to return to the previous conversation. She glanced at Aster "I still very much want to visit your Warren, Aster, but, if you guys would like to stay, I still have a few hours before I have to do my job again. Would you take me to the washroom, Tooth?" she looked at the other woman hopefully "I already told Sandy about my parents, he could fill in the guys while we have some girl talk?" she said the statement more like a question, meeting Tooth's kind eyes as she nodded, smiling. "Of course Rose!" Tooth buzzed around in a quick circle. "Girl Time!" She zoomed out the door, Rose running after her laughing.

Sandy

Sandy looked at his friends, he tried to shake the anger at the way they acted around Rose away, but found he couldnt. He sat and glowered at them, his arms crossed and one eyebrow raised expectantly. All three men blushed slightly at Sandy before looking away sheepishly. Jack was the first to speak up "I am sorry Sandy. You brought her to meet us and all we have done is act like fools. She probably will be to uncomfortable to be around us anymore." he looked at his lap, full of remorse. "Yeah." Bunnymund spoke up "I apologize, mate. Thats no way to act around your girl." Sandy blushed at that. "She and I arent together. I met her just yesterday" he explained to the gang. North looked at Sandy with surprise evident on his face."Really? You two were practically eating each others' faces off when you came in!"

"That was just the heat of the moment" Sandy signed. "I found her in the bottom of a huge crater after she fell to the ground during my nightly dream rounds. I took her to my home until she recovered"

Jack frowned " Fell from the sky? With her wings? Have you seen those things? There is no way she fell on her own."

Sandy looked at Jack, a puzzled look crossing over his face " You are right, Jack. Now that I think of it, she had said that one minute she was in bed, and the next she felt a 'tug' and she was falling through the sky."

Bunny spoke up "A tug? What could tug the daughter of the Man in the Moon and Mother Nature out of her bed?"

They all looked at each other solmenly. Only one person came to their minds. Pitch.

Rose

Rose ran after Tooth, giddiness filling her at the prospect of a girl friend. Books she had read made her long for companionship, and at last, a group of friends to call solely her own. Albiet pervy, but at least Tooth was there. She had so many things she wanted to do with her, like a slumber party! She followed the blue streak that was Tooth to a huge room filled with floor to ceiling stack washers and dryers. Some washing stuffed animals or dolls clothes. Some the elfs' clothes or the yeti's bedding. Finally they came to the end where one set was thankfully empty, and as she disrobed, Tooth shot of questions like bullets from a gun. "So how did your parents meet? How were you born? Were you born a spirit? I thought you had to die to be a spirit. Can spirits have babies? Does that mean North and I could have babies? Should we have babies? We are so busy already..." Rose giggled. "Well, I was born half spirit and half human. My dad came down and fell in love with mom while she was human and they had me. He took me to the moon after mum died until she became a spirit. I dont know if other spirits can have babies. I have never asked him." Tooth had a dreamy look on her face. "Oh...a baby...I never had babies while I was alive." her fingers brushed her feathered tummy lightly. A small mini tooth like thing popped up from behind her, chirping angerly. Tooth gasped and turned to it "Baby Tooth! I didnt mean that I dont love you guys!" She cupped the tiny bird like fairy in her hands. "You know I love you right?" The little one chirped in answer and Rose stared at it "oh...how cute! Can I hold her?" Rose asked Tooth, the little fairy looked at her and smiled, flying over to hover in front of Rose. Rose held out her cupped hands in front of her and the fairy settled in, snuggling against her thumb. "Oh you are so pretty!" Rose sighed softly. Tooth smiled as she watched them, "Yes, I have thousands of these little helpers that help me collect the teeth from the children of the world. Each one is completely different with a totally unique personality. Her name is Baby Tooth. Jack's favorite." Tooth giggled as Baby Tooth nodded with a prideful smile. "You are so lucky to have helpers, Tooth" Rose sighed. "I am normally all alone, nobody really even realizes I am there or what I do". Tooth patted Rose's shoulder gently "It's okay, dear, Jack still goes through that too, it's a sore spot for all us spirits to not be seen by humans."

Rose looked up at Tooth with a small smile, "Oh no, humans can see me if I want them too, I meant other spirits seem to not notice that someone flies across the sky every time it gets dark. I mean I know I am fast but how did I not know about you guys, nor you about me? This is the first time I have met any other spirits besides some forest nymphs of the mothers or some stars at my dad's. They have always been overprotective of me. They dont tell me much of the happenings of other spirits. I always knew there were more, but I have never had the pleasure of meeting them." Tooth puzzled over this. How could we not notice? she thought. Maybe they had just been so busy, so wrapped up in their duties that they never bothered to take notice. Only recently did they start conversing with other spirits other than Jack outside of the annual Christmas party. Tooth gave Rose a sad look as she watched the girl play with Baby Tooth. She felt a protectiveness over her, not quite like a mother, more like what she had felt for her sister before she died and became the tooth fairy. " Well you have friends now" Tooth smiled at her "And I'll make sure that the guys keep their hands off of you!" They laughed together while Rose donned her now clean clothes before heading back to join the rest of the Guardians.
