Hey everyone! Sorry for the long wait! I've been super busy and haven't had time to write. I know I should've added more to this chapter and made it longer, but if I had added anything else, it would've been too long, and I have a lot of ideas that just don't work yet.

Thank you to kramer53, for trusting me to finish the story you started. This chapter is unbeta'd, because kramer was busy this week and wasn't able to answer my message, but if she sees anything wrong in the future that I need to fix, I'll repost this chapter with all the proper edits.

And please review! Seeing that people actually want to read my stories motivates me more, and leaves less time between chapters! If you have any ideas or suggestions for things you want to see, leave them in your comment and if I use it, I'll tell you. (FYI, if I don't use your idea in the next chapter, that doesn't mean I never will. I might use it later and credit you, saying which chapter review the idea came from.)

That's enough of my note. Enjoy, everyone!

Chapter 5: Temptation

The party lasted until the sun was beginning to peak over the horizon, turning the sky from a deep, inky blue to brilliant shades of orange and pink. Each of the Guardians spent hours on the dance floor, along with a few of the elves that weren't supplying the music, and even a few yetis stopped their work to join in. Jack tried to share a majority of the songs dancing with Elsa, but North and Bunny danced with her several times, leaving Jack to dance with Tooth. She was a good dancer, and they were good friends, but he would've rather danced with his wife. When the party finally started to die down, mainly because the elves playing the music fell asleep, everyone said goodbye to North and headed to their own homes.

Jack flew Elsa back to her ice palace, and the two were quiet during the journey. Jack kept sneaking glances at Elsa, who had a happy smile on her face, but something clouding her beautiful blue eyes. He wanted to ask what was bothering her, but didn't because he didn't know whether she trusted him or not. So when he landed on her balcony and she walked in without a word, Jack sighed and lifted off again. He had just turned away when he felt a familiar pair of eyes on his back.

"You're not coming in?" the owner of those eyes asked quietly. He knew from her tone that it was entirely up to him, but he also knew she still didn't like being alone. He turned around and landed in front of her slowly.

"I didn't think you wanted me to," he confessed, feeling guilty at the fact that he was just going to leave. She shrugged and leaned against the doorframe.

"You don't have to, but I thought you might be able to tell me little more about being a Guardian and what I have to do," she told him plainly, and he nodded and walked over to her.

"Of course I can. How about we go back to the living room and I'll tell you whatever else you want to know until you decide to kick me out," he suggested, and she noticed a teasing glint in his eyes as he said the last part. She smiled and turned, walking into her ice palace toward the living room. She intended for the action to be sassy, and knew she had succeeded when she heard him laugh quietly before following her to the living room.

"So, what, exactly, are Guardians supposed to do? I know I asked you this and you said they use their centers to protect the children of the world, but how? What are we supposed to do?" she asked him, barely suppressing her eagerness. He thought for a moment before smiling slightly.

"Well, I know I've told you what all our centers are, and what we use them for, but I'll recap. North's is wonder, Sandy's is dreams, Tooth's is memories, Bunny's is hope, and mine is fun. I protect the fun in children by bringing them snow days when they need a break to play with their friends and be kids again. North protects the wonder in a child through Christmas, when anything is possible for a kid. Bunny protects hope by doing something with Easter. I don't actually know how that helps, but apparently it does. I don't pay that much attention to Easter," he told her, and smiled when she giggled at his comment. "Sandy protects the children by giving them good dreams instead of nightmares, which helps them believe in us. And finally, Toothiana collects baby teeth to protect the fondest memories of childhood. She keeps all the teeth in these really elegant gold boxes, and opens them whenever someone needs to remember something important."

He watched her reactions as he was explaining their jobs to her, and noticed that her forehead creased ever so slightly into a small frown and her eyes darkened slightly when he explained what Tooth did. It looked like how she used to look when she would concentrate really hard on something, but there was something Jack couldn't place this time. It only lasted a moment, however, and he wasn't even certain he knew what he saw.

"Oh, okay. I know you told me something about a spirit named Pitch Black, but how do you use your abilities to protect the children?" she asked, and he thought for a minute.

"Well, if the children become too afraid, they won't believe in us anymore, and we'll lose our magic. We can still win if only one child believes in us, but we're stronger if every child believes in us. As the children lose their faith, Pitch becomes stronger, and uses a variation of Sandy's dream sand to create nightmares. It's a very sharp black sand that causes pain and fear when you touch it. We exist to keep the children from falling victim to that, and to stop him from creating another Dark Ages," he explained to her, and she nodded.

"So, is he the one responsible for the darkness at the party tonight?" she asked innocently, and Jack just shrugged.

"I'm not sure. It wasn't his voice, but that doesn't mean much. I've never seen him do anything like that, however. We'll find whoever did it. It might just be a new spirit trying to prank the Guardians," he said nonchalantly, but deep down he didn't believe what he was saying, and he could tell Elsa didn't believe it either. She just nodded, however, and continued to ask questions, some of which were easy and some of which were hard.

Eventually she asked him what her job was supposed to be as a Guardian, and he knit his brows together in thought—a look Elsa thought was quite cute on the mischievous spirit—before shrugging at her.

"I'm actually not sure. What's your center?" he asked her, and although he thought he knew what it was, she would never be able to fulfill her intended role as a Guardian without knowing for herself. He watched as her clear, icy blue eyes clouded over as she looked within herself to find her center. When they looked at him with a mixture of sadness and confusion, he knew she had no idea who she was as a spirit.

"I, I don't know…I'm not even fully sure of who I am, and I don't know who I was before…" she trailed off, looking at Jack in the hopes that he had the answers. He thought for a moment then sighed, knowing there was only one way to help her remember.

"The Guardians can help us. Tooth, like I said when we first met, protects the most important memories of our lives. She protected mine until I became a Guardian, so she probably has yours too," he told her, and her eyes lit up, but he could see something unrecognizable hiding underneath the happiness in them.

"So, she can make me remember?" she asked him shyly, and he smiled at her reassuringly.

"Of course she can. And she will," he told her confidently, and she smiled brightly at him. She's so cute, he thought affectionately, and wondered if this was what she would have been like if she hadn't been isolated and hurt for so long.

"Thank you," she told him, still smiling brightly, and hugged him quickly. He smiled and hugged her back.

"Anything. We'll ask her tomorrow, when she's a little less busy," he said, and she nodded.

"Alright," she said happily. Jack told her stories and she laughed when he would make jokes, and he showed her a few tricks with his powers before she did the same. Eventually, however, Jack had to leave to bring snow days to the children of the world, and visit his own child (something he didn't tell Elsa for obvious reasons). She walked with him to the balcony, and he used all his might not to give in to the temptation to kiss her before he bid her goodbye and flew away.

Tooth was flitting around her palace at speed, organizing teeth and telling the other Tooth Fairies where they needed to go. There were so many children in the world, and it seemed like they all got together and decided to lose all their baby teeth at the same time. She knew that wasn't true, of course, but it felt like it to the busy Tooth Fairy. She took inventory of every golden tooth box in the palace, making sure they were all there. The teeth were organized in alphabetical order by country, then city, then by social class—because in some countries there were kings and queens, like in the kingdoms of Arendelle and Corona, who were first—and finally by last name. So far she didn't see any missing boxes, which really confused her. Why would we have gotten that strange message from the voice in the dark if they didn't take anything…? Tooth asked herself, but was pulled from her thoughts when Baby Tooth flew in, carrying a small tooth Rose had just lost.

Tooth was always especially fond of Jacob, Crystal, and Rose, because they were Jack and Elsa's grandchildren, making her their honorary aunt. She made sure to leave them something special each time she collected a tooth from them, and smiled at the memories each tooth held. The three were getting older now, and Jacob and Crystal each only had a few more teeth to lose. Rose had more, being the youngest, but they wouldn't need her to collect their teeth for much longer, even though she would always protect their memories and keep them safe from harm.

She watched the memory in the tooth flash before her eyes, seeing Rose spend time with the boy she had become friends with and developed a crush on, Derek Hamish Haddock. He was a sweet boy, the grandson of Queen Merida Haddock and Chieftain/King Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. He looked just like his grandfather, but with redder hair from his grandmother. He didn't have his grandmother's wild curls, but he had her fiery hair color and spirit. He had trained a dragon, a Stormcutter named Skyfall. This specific memory was of Derek taking Rose for a ride on Skyfall through the western skies of Arendelle. Jack had flown past and waved at them, and Rose had smiled brightly and waved back, explaining to Derek that her grandfather was Jack Frost. Derek had smiled shyly at the Spirit of Winter before waving back, and Jack just smirked at the two of them and flew off. When he was gone, Rose smiled and leaned into Derek's back, closing her eyes and tightening her grip around his waist slightly.

Tooth smiled affectionately as the memory ended, and went to put this new tooth in Rose's golden box. She found it and carefully placed it in an open slot, then put the box away. Just as she was about to fly off, however, she noticed something that almost made her fall out of the sky. She cupped her hands over her mouth as her eyes widened in shock.

She had thought that every tooth box in the entire palace was accounted for.

There was one empty slot in the Arendelle section. A very important tooth box was missing.

Toothiana doesn't lose children's teeth. If a box goes missing, it can only mean one thing.

Someone stole Elsa Frost's memories.

Duh, duh, duuuuuuuuuuh! Who could the voice be? And who stole Elsa's teeth? Why would they steal her memories? (Hint: if you can figure out who the voice is, you'll know who stole her teeth and why.) Leave a review and let me know what you thought, and what you would like to see!
