When Jack woke up the following morning the first thing he did was write a note for his night time companion.
'Dear, Bunny or E.A.B or whatever,
I saw you last night, well I saw your ears so I know you're real I just want to know who you are, what you want and why you visit me.
I definitely know that I don't want your visits to stop, but I want to know what I'm in for. Who is Pitch? And what does he want with me? I know he isn't good and I know he was here last night.
I don't know why, but I feel safe when I know you've been here... Oh and by the way, three visits ago you took my lucky pen, I'd like it back please... But you can keep the one I wrote this with.
Love Jackson Overland.'
Jack cursed himself for sounding so cheesy, but it was the truth. He read it over for the fifth time and sighed, he left his note and pen on the bed and went about his business.
Work was the same as always, little girls with dreams of being the next big figure skaters choosing the most expensive pairs of skates they could find, who would next week give up and decide on being a space princess instead. And couples choosing matching skis for their romantic trip to the alps, that they would always tell Jack about (like he cared!) as he tried to make sure they got the right size. He usually liked his job but today it was grating on him, all he wanted to do was go home and get in bed and wait for his Bunny.
After work he called the ice rink and told them he was sick and to cancel the class, he felt quite bad for the children, sure, but he didn't feel up to it at all. Jack walked up the stairs to his flat, put away a few groceries he bought and flopped down on the sofa he'd slept on the night before. Watching the news he found himself daydreaming about his nocturnal visitor, how did he move about during the day without drawing attention to himself? Did he even move about in the day? Was he human?
Jack was so confused. He had all these questions, he hoped Bunny was nice enough to answer them all. Time passed quickly and before he knew it he had fallen asleep on the sofa, Jack woke up at about midnight and stumbled to his bedroom. He was stunned when he looked at his bed and saw his note was replaced and his pen swapped for his lucky one.
"WHAT?!" He shrieked, "Sneaky bastard!" Jack picked up the note.
'Hey Snowflake,
Here's your pen back, sorry it was a nice pen. All you need to know is Pitch is a very bad man. But it doesn't matter, because I'll protect you no matter what. I'm here for you Jack.
Love always, Bunnymund'
"Damn it..." He smirked, it seems he wasn't going to get any answers tonight. "Finally someone who knows how to have a little fun..." Jack had a plan.
Aster chuckled to himself as he sat on the roof of Jacks' apartment when he heard Jack shout. He had kept the note Jack had written, it would make a nice addition to his collection. He was waiting until Jack had fell asleep to sneak into his room, Aster was a bit pissed of that he'd let himself be seen, but he was more than elated when he'd seen that Jack had CARED enough to write a note and than admit that he felt safe when he was around.
When Jack was out in the day the first thing Bunny did was scout the area, check the boys neighbours flats and houses, and check everywhere in a two mile radius for signs of Pitch, when he found none he looked around Jacks flat. He smiled when he saw that the Glove-on-a-Stick was still next to Jacks bed even though the rest of the room had been cleaned, and then outright laughed when he read the note Jack had left him.
He took the pen Jack had written the note with and went to his Warren and swapped it for Jacks lucky pen, he then returned the lucky one to Jack. He'd do anything to please his Mat- no - regular, he'd do anything to please his regular.
When he was sure Jack was asleep he climbed down from the roof and into the window that was only closed when Jack was out to take his position as the boys night guard. He smiled when he saw another note.
'Hey Bunny,
For some reason you don't want to be seen. Which, hey, I understand! Maybe you're self conscious about your ears or something, I don't know why, I like them. But anyway I don't wish to ALARM you, but I have a plan! Hehe puns.
Love Jack.'
Aster laughed silently and moved to Jacks alarm clock to remove the batteries, when he did that he saw another note taped to the bottom of the clock.
'Hello again,
Hold the phone! You didn't think I only set one alarm, did you?'
Aster sighed, of course Jack wasn't gonna make this easy for him. He looked around for the lads phone and found it sticking out from under his pillow. Contrary to popular belief, Aster was up to date with modern technology and was able to deactivate the alarm that was set to go off in ten minuets. Of course there was another note.
'Dude!
Wow, just wow. You REALLY don't want to be seen do you? You better watch out though, I'm not one to give up easily!'
Aster rolled his eyes, this kid was determined. With all alarms and electronics off in the room, he settled into the office chair at Jacks PC and watched the beautiful bane of his existence sleep.
-RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING-
"Shit..."
Pitch growled - an honest to god growl - of course Aster had decided to take up residence in Jacks' bedroom. And of course he had jumped at the chance to become Jacks' unofficial bodyguard! Pitch was pissed off. And one does not simply piss off Pitch Black and not pay dearly.
"Well then rabbit, let's see what's more important, the boy or your Warren..."
-ROTG-ROTG-
Was that a cliffhanger? I think it was... Welp, see you next year...
JOKE I'm not that evil... Or am I?
