Jack was the first to arrive, shooting down the hole in the ceiling.

"Jackie?" He said as he landed, "What are you doing here?"

"There's an emergency with HOG, all the other members have been captured by the Descendants of Pitch, I didn't know how to find you, so I came here."

"And made a lot of noise." Added North, "Not that I'm surprised, her friend was freezing out there."

Jack looked over at Penelope and his expression hardened.

"What is she doing here?"

"Jack wait." I tried to stop him but he stormed up to her chair and pointed his staff at her. Penelope shrank back in the chair, but her face didn't show any fear, it was almost like she accepted what was happening.

"Jack, stop, it's okay!" I cried, and Penelope looked at me with surprise written on her face. Jack's gaze however, didn't move.

"No it's not! She's the one who attacked Jamie!"

"I know."

"She attacked you!"

"I am well aware of that."

Jack looked at me with a confused expression on his face. "And you're okay with this?"

"Yes, things have changed. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be standing here. So back off already!"

Jack stepped away from Penelope.

"Jeez, since when were you so bossy?"

"Right now I kinda have to be to stop myself freaking out, since I've already had frosty fingers. It was your teaching after all."

Jack folded his arms and grumbled to himself. I nudged him with my elbow, "Oh, cheer up."

"Tooth, good to see you!"

I looked over at North to see that he was talking to a woman hovering off the ground who was covered with green, blue, purple and gold feathers. Around her flew a bunch of tiny blue and green fairies, each of them appearing to have hummingbird like beaks.

She zoomed over to Jack to greet him, then to me and Penelope with a curious expression on her face.

"Hey, who are you two?"

North coughed, "I think we'd better save that for when Bunny and Sandy get here."

I nodded in agreement when a snowball slammed into my side. I looked over at Jack, who
was looking away and whistling suspiciously.

"Oh, it's on."

I held out my hands and managed to summon about ten snowballs, despite there being no snow.

"Hey you told me to cheer up!" Jack protested.

"Come on, just one? I've never gotten you with a snowball."

"You can wait 'till practice for that."

"Please."

"No."

I pretended to sulk, but when his back was turned I threw one at him. He quickly turned around and hit it back at me with his staff, catching me on the shoulder.

"Oh come on!" I cried, laughing slightly and shaking off the snow while letting the other snowballs disappear.

"Nice try, but you're not getting me that easily! I've had 300 years to get good at snowball fights!"

"Wait, do you two know each other?" asked Toothiana.

"Yeah." Said Jack "I've been helping her control her powers."

"Oh really?" She and the small fairies following her gave me a look I'd only ever seen on popular girls faces.

"I never thought I'd be on the receiving end of that stare." I said, taking an involuntary step backwards.

"Whoah, what's with that look?" asked Jack.

I looked at him disbelievingly. "Jack, I'm a social recluse, and I know what that look means!"

I took another step back as one of the fairies disengaged from the rest and flew in my face, shaking her tiny fist at me.

"There's nothing like that going on! I swear!"

"That's enough girls!" Cried Toothiana, "this is not proper Tooth Fairy behaviour!"

I let out a sigh of relief as the smaller fairies flew back, but started backwards as Toothiana flew uncomfortably close.

"Now open up, let's see how you've been taking care of your teeth since you lost your baby ones." She said, her violet eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.

"Wha-?"

My partially open mouth allowed Toothiana to put her fingers in my mouth and attempt to examine my teeth.

Now, most people's body temperature was merely uncomfortable. The heat coming from Toothiana's fingers however was downright painful. Especially as they'd been shoved into a sensitive part of my body.

I gave a small cry and backed off as quickly as I could, yanking myself from Toothiana's fingers. I tried not to show how much pain that had caused me, but I couldn't help massaging my jaw with my now relatively blissfully cool fingers.

Feeling the heat of the fire on my back I danced forward and to the right to avoid the fire and Toothiana's fingers. I turned around and backed off, still dancing away from Toothiana's still probing fingers and the swarming fairies. I felt my back connect with the railing and I suddenly surrounded by fairies.

I ducked underneath them and made a run for it, with Jack roaring with laughter in the background. Even North was in on it, I could hear him roaring with laughter as well.

I ended up running straight into a wall of fur and backed up, the fairies were suddenly everywhere and they managed to get into my mouth.

I tried moving backwards to get away from their tiny fingers, but now that they had a hold me, they weren't letting go until they were satisfied.

"Ow ow ow." I muttered, trying to gently swat them away. In a sudden movement they all went back to Toothiana, allowing me to massage my mouth and glare at Jack, who was now rolling on the floor with laughter.

While Jack was rolling on the floor laughing as Toothiana looked at me with a mix of confusion, concern and a little hurt. Her fairies were all chattering to her and each other and I wasn't sure that I wanted to know what they were saying.

"S-sorry." I stammered out, losing my glare to look at Toothiana. All while trying to ignore the burning feeling in my mouth now that the fairies were satisfied. "Not your fault..."

Jack was still roaring with laughter as I glared at him.

"You could have helped you know."

"Sorry, sorry!" He gasped out between laughs, "but your face was priceless!"

North was also still laughing. "I do not think dancing is for you though, no?"

I heard sniggering from the fire and I sent Penelope a glare, who despite herself was grinning.

"It was pretty funny." She said and I was tempted to throw snowball at the pair of them.
Thankfully we got interrupted before things escalated.

"Ah Sandy, good to see you!"

I looked over and saw the familiar small yellow figure and out of the corner of my eye I saw Jack get back up, a stupid grin still plastered on his face.

"Hey Sandman!" I said, relived.

He smiled and floated over as Jack and I raised a hand in greeting, in an almost identical manner. It was a bit surreal, but the moment passed as Sandy formed a question mark over his head at me.

"I'm waiting for her to tell me as well." Said Jack. "North wants to wait until everyone's here though."

Sandy shrugged and North greeted someone else loudly.

"Ah Bunny!"

We looked behind us to see a grey furred six foot tall bipedal rabbit walking in, arms hugging his shoulders and shivering. On his forearms were what appeared to be leather guards set with small gem stones, with an orange one set in the centre. He had a leather holster on his back that was slung across his back and more leather straps around his enormous feet.

"Why do have to come up here when you call us? Can't we go somewhere, you know, warmer? I can't feel my feet!" Bunnymund complained with an Australian accent that was thicker than Billy's.

He looked over at us and saw me standing there and Penelope still wrapped in her blankets.

"Hey, who are these two?"

"This is Jackie and this is Penelope." Said North, pointing to us in turn.

"And why are they here?"

"Well." Said North, walking towards us, "Now that we are all here, we can let them explain."
