Vader/Anakin/Whatever: Why Hello Readers. I am afraid Raven is not currently present, -having gone to try and escape her conscience who happens to be exceedingly irritating- and, as such, has left the running of this fore note to me. No, I cannot understand it either, aside from maybe it's because I am no longer evil…? Anyway, as per her request, I have just let things take themselves where they want to go, and… well… *looks over to huge reinforced table* Things have most assuredly taken their own way-
Hulk: Silence puny leather slab!
Vader: Oi!
Optimus Prime: Hulk, I believe there is this thing that the humans call courtesy. And manners…
Hulk: Hulk need no manners! Hulk Smash!
Optimus: *looks down to where they are locked in a stalemate in an arm wrestle* Well, Hulk does not look to be smashing…
Bumblebee: *makes various noises*
R2D2: *Rolls in and also makes various noises*
Vader: *sigh* so much for two fandoms at a time… I will have to talk with Raven about- But that can wait. I have been ordered to tell you to… err… *takes out piece of paper* Enjoy the chapter and forgive her for leaving you with such a terrible introductee… Oh, that's rude…
Oh, and to say thank you to thunder angel13, Harmonious Wolf, Summer Evening, Scavenger'sDaughter2, SilverMoonNight, AngelofGrace96, 2Pcanada and Phoenixtear101 for the faves and follows… And thanks to the guest reviewer, rotgfan, who wrote the 500th review!
Okay, I think that's it… So, enjoy the chapter!

Bunny sighed as he leapt into the warren. North had, yet again, got him into an argument about Christmas apparently being better than Easter. Which it was most definitely not!
But this time he had brought in the eggs, and that was taking things too far…
This time, he was going to get him back for it… But how…?
It took him a whole three seconds to come up with a plan.
Four words.
Jack Frost-Sugar High.
He could call it Operation Sugar!
It was genius!
Of course, that would mean dragging Jack away from whatever he was doing, which was most likely centered around Ice Black… But the winter spirit had been on the case for weeks, and hadn't managed to catch up with the Ice Spirit… Though there had been some close calls.
Like the time a couple of weeks ago when Jack managed to save a couple of humans when their car got sent into a spin thanks to Ice Black leaving Ice on the road. If Jack hadn't have had to stop to help them, he would likely have caught the Ice Spirit there and then…
But they all knew Ice Black was simply making sure he was ready to move, and knew that he would eventually do something to draw them all out...
Till then, there was little they could do, and Bunny was going to use that to his advantage…
Now, how to get Jack on a sugar high?
Hmm… Maybe one of those drinks humans called energy drinks? Full of caffeine too, which would be a bonus… But how to get some…
Bunny grinned as an idea formed, and leapt through another tunnel.
_
Jamie blinked at the Pooka.
"You want me to get energy drinks, so you can get Jack on a caffeine rush, to set him on North to cause havoc because Easter is better than Christmas?"
Bunny nodded.
Jamie sighed, grumbling about insane Pooka's, then he grinned.
"Okay… I'll see what I can do…"
Half an hour later, Jamie handed him a bag full.
"Good thing I started that Paper round… And be careful. From what I've seen, too much of this stuff can make you go completely caffeine high…"
Jamie shuddered as he thought back to the month before, when Cupcake drank several cans of the stuff and went on a giggling spree… It was not a pleasant memory… And with Jack in that state…?
Moon help them all, as the guardians would say…
Bunny however, looked delighted.
"Cheers mate… This is gonna be great!"
Jamie sighed…
"For you maybe…"
Bunny grinned as leapt from a tunnel into Jack's home, with the bag of energy drinks.
Phase 1 of Operation Sugar complete…
_
Bunny grinned as he lounged against the pillar, in the training room at the monastery, coughing for attention. Jack span, grinning.
"Hey… What bring you up to the, and I quote, 'place where you're more likely to get your tail frozen off than anything'…?"
Bunny rolled his eyes.
"I need… a favour? Yeah let's go with that."
Jack shot him a suspicious look, and crossed his arms.
"Go on…"
"I need ya to drink all 'a these energy drinks, then go an' annoy North."
Jack blinked.
"… Did he insult Easter again?"
"… That's beside the point."
"But… Hang on, where did you get those, anyway?"
"Jamie… And ya wouldn't want it all ta be wasted… would ya?"
"…That's just mean. Guilt tripping is my thing…"
"Aww, come on! Please…?"
"The giant bunny rabbit said please? Just what did he say about Easter?"
"… He mocked the googies."
Jack blinked, then sighed, grabbing a can of the drink and popping the lid.
"I just know I'm going to regret this... You owe me, Kangaroo."
"Yeah, yeah… Though to be honest, I've lost track of who owes who…"
Jack blinked at that.
"Huh… You're right. Too many favours flying around…" He grinned, taking a mouthful, and blinked.
"Mm… Not half bad actually. Remind me to pay Jamie back for these?"
Bunny grinned. Phase Two of Operation Sugar was a go.
"Sure thing… Now go annoy North!"
Jack sighed, following Bunny into a tunnel.
They really had to discuss boundaries. Come on, putting him on a caffeine high to annoy North must cross some kind of line…? Ah well… Too late now.
Jack felt a familiar tingle buzzing at the back of his head as he started the next can, familiar even though he hadn't felt it since the sugar high that time nearly a century ago…
This was going to be fun…
_
"Neeeeeeeeoooooowwwwm…"
"Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…"
"Neeeeeeeeeoooowwwwwwmmmmmmmmmmmmmmma…"
North winced. For the past hour, Jack had been flying around him, making the most irritating noises he could. And all because Bunny was far too much of a bad influence.
The Pooka had vanished half an hour before, in the midst of a laughing fit, and left North with a caffeine High winter spirit, who happened to be the guardian of fun.
Well, everyone else might be having fun-
" … Teeheehee, Caffeine is goooood…" Jack said, smirking and spinning in circles above North, giggling suspiciously.
"Hey... Hey North!"
"… What…?"
"I think I know how Fool enchanted the toys!"
North blinked. Oh no…
"Jack…? You didn't-"
"Heehee, too laaaaate!"
Planes, walking soldiers, slingshots, miniature tanks, spinning tops and an array for other toys all surrounded North, whistling, beeping, thrumming, marching and otherwise making the most irritating noises known to spirit.
He was going to get Bunny for this…
Jack was laughing outright as he vanished into a tunnel, reappearing a few minutes later with a grinning Pooka, who took one look at the sight, including North trying to battle his way out of a hurricane of toy planes, before he fell about laughing.
Phase 3 of Operation Sugar Rush -nicknamed Operation Buzz, for many reasons- securely underway, and mission complete.
Of course, Tooth chose this moment to arrive, and as soon as she took it all in, and heard the words Frostbite… Caffeine… and Funny… from Bunny in explanation, she attempted, in vain, to stop the giggle that fought its way out, before ending up in a laughing fit on the floor next to Bunny.
North, on the other hand, was scowling at them.
"Oh, so you are two of most old guardians, and you act immature?"
Tooth giggled, trying to speak,
"Well… What can you… you do against… the guardian of… f-fun…" she managed, between hiccups and giggles, before she once again lost the power of speech.
North sighed.
"At least Sandy would show more maturity-"
"Actually…" Bunny said, gesturing, and North span to see the oldest guardian in the grips of a silent laughing fit, watching as North tried to dodge the toys and bubble and paint blasting planes and tanks.
Jack grinned, whispering to Sandy as he flew backwards and forwards, and Sandy grinned, clicking his fingers to start some music.
"Flight of Valkyries? Much maturity Sandy…" North said, rolling his eyes, and Jack grinned.
"Caffeine is good… I wonder why I stopped taking Caffeine? And too much sugar?"
Sandy sighed something, and Jack crossed his arms in a huff.
"It does not make me act immature!"
North chuckled.
"Only thing missing from that was a foot stomp in middle of air, Jack."
Jack scowled at him, then grinned.
"Well… maybe more will do it…"
"More… What?"
"EVERYTHING!"
More planes and toys and elves armed with cookie blasters- North blinked at that one… Did caffeine make people insane…?- appeared, and Jack settled on a beam, opening another can of the caffeinated, sugar overloaded, insanity inducing concoction, downing it in a few mouthfuls.
North groaned.
He would never insult Easter again…
Especially when Bunny had Jack on his side. It made for a completely unfair advantage…
Though that thought was pushed to the back of his mind as he was forced to retreat, elves and toys following him and blasting him with bubble, paint and cookies.
Sugar Free Cookies… North realised with a sigh.
The youngest guardian really did think of everything…
_
Jack groaned as he pulled his way out of the snowdrift.
A few hours earlier, the caffeine had started to wear off, and he had dived out of the window before the headache could start. But now he was tired, and achy, and man, that had been so much fun!
With a cheerful whistle, he leapt up to the window, letting the wind carry him in, before landing on the sofa, right next to Tooth, who gave a startled yelp, before grinning.
"You feeling a bit less… active now, Sweet Tooth?"
"Yup…"
North gave a sigh of relief.
"Thank Moon. I was not sure of whether I could take more…"
Bunny grinned.
"Plus, he's gonna be thinking a nit more in future, before he insults Easter, eh mate?"
North nodded.
"Much thinking. You have unfair advantage Bunny."
"But an advantage all the same. Cheers Jack."
"No Problem… Now I'm gonna go and pay Jamie back, before crashing and sleeping for the next twelve hours. See ya later guys."
With that, he flew out, and North blinked.
"Actually, I have better plan. Caffeine makes Jack want to sleep?"
Bunny sighed, as he realised where this was going.
"But only as a last resort… I mean, there's no telling what end of chaos could ensue…"
Tooth rolled her eyes.
"And yet we are still planning on challenging him to a prank war?"
The others shrugged, and Tooth sighed.
She just hoped Jack didn't get hold of caffeine when it began…
_
Jack grinned, as he left Jamie's, before heading back to the monastery. Electronic ways of handling money were so useful to spirits… What was the betting that some spirit had got involve with the ideas process?
Anyway, as he sank down onto the bed, yawning, he blinked as he realised that he hadn't thought about Ice Black all day…
And Bunnymund called him a distraction.
Ah well, Ice Black would no doubt try something eventually… And he'd be there when he did.
_
Ice Black grinned, as he watched Jamie, Sophie and their mother get into the car, before sliding towards the main road…
If this didn't get Jack Frost's undivided attention, he didn't know what would…
Vader: *still watching arm wrestle, which is still at a stalemate* Yes, I really do need to talk about letting in more than two fandoms… Now where is Raven?
Me (having just walked in): Right here… Sorry I took so long. How has… *takes in scene, and glares at Optimus* What have I told you about drawing in Hulk's competitive streak?
Optimus: Err…
Ironhide: *mutters* Haha, smackdown…
Me: Shut up.
Ironhide: *Shuts up.*
Me: And anyway, as a regular reader, Querty, has reminded me, only two fandoms! There are three here right now-
The Doctor: (having just arrived in the Tardis) Hello again, All!
Me: *sighs* Make that four fandoms… Hey, Doc? I'm trying to enforce the two fandoms at a time rule here…
Doctor: Ah, I see. Very well. Allonsy! *vanishes in Tardis with a grin that makes me instantly suspicious for some reason…*
Me: Right…
Vader: You know, it may be an idea to maybe bump it up to three fandoms?
Me: … I have an idea. How about I bump it up to three fandoms?
Vader: *Facepalms*
Me: *glances over to stalemate, and rolls eyes, walking over*
Optimus: Fine, I call a tie…
Me: *calls on author powers as Hulk starts to rant about a rematch, and slams both Optimus's and Hulk's fists down* There. Now I win, happy? *ignores the looks I'm getting, and whispers to Megatron (who called a temporary truce to see Optimus get smacked down in an arm wrestle)*
Psst, hey! Megatron!
Megatron: What?
Me: Ya might want to take a look at a certain Night-Fury1's profile… A very interesting fic on there if I do say so myself… *grins evilly* (don't worry guys, it's a kind of inside joke… And now I am going to hide from the wrath of Night-Fury1… WHO WOULDN'T SHARE BUNNY!)
Till next time then!
Raving… I mean Raven… Mad… Raving mad? No… Raven. There we go.
*blinks as Tony enteres the room, and legs it*
NO! I DON'T WANT MY CONSCIENCE ON MY BACK! THAT SUIT IS HEAVY! AND IT TOOK LONG ENOUGH TO WRITE THE LAST CHAPTER AT THE SAME TIME AS RUNNING FROM HIM!
(Yes, I'm blaming the delay in updates on my conscience… And most stylish exit yet I think, right?)
And hey! Where is R2?
Meanwhile… In the Tardis
Doctor: Are you sure you can fly this?
R2D2: *Makes chirpy sounds and what-not*
Doctor: Okay then… But Raven will not be happy… Now she'll have to sort out the entire multi-fandom universal crossover time space continuum section three, paragraph two, part seven… Thing… Ah well, We can visit her again next chapter… Now… TO CORUSCANT!
*(Oh, and 500+ reviews? I love you guys! Seriously, you are all amazing and you have no idea how shocked I am… Even after everything, I'm still shocked at the response, so thank you so much!
And thanks to rotgfan, and yes, there will definitely be another prank fic after this arc :D After the Ice Black arc… WHICH WILL BEGIN NEXT CHAPTER! Hopefully see you there… :D )
