I know, IknowIknowIknow….I SHOULD be writing Toddler Bunny…but this hit me and I just wanted to write it SO much!

As always…no I do not own ROTG.

"Oh, I'm gonna hurt 'im." Bunny groaned from where he sat around the large table, a cup of hot tea firmly clasped between his paws, and a box of tissues standing guard next to a plate of steamed carrots.

Tooth gave the Pooka a sympathetic smile "I'm sorry you aren't feeling well," she said softly patting one of his paws "Jack should be here at any time."

"Why does he always have ta be late?" Bunny cried in a strangled yip before exploding into a round of coughs and sneezes "I mean," the Pooka sniffled "would it kill the drongo ta be on time fer once?"

"Do not worry old friend," North smiled comfortingly "he probably just lost track of time, and is flying as we speak."

Aster gasped, his breath hitching as he reared back and then let loose a howling sneeze "Sure, whatever ya say mate." He sniffled rubbing his nose with one paw.

Grabbing his tea mug, the Pooka took a long draft of the liquid before leaning back into his chair with a pained groan, while the rest of the Guardians went back to their previous occupations whilst waiting for their youngest member to arrive. A few moments passed until suddenly a yeti walked up to the table, and tapped North on the shoulder. The large man looked up and leaned to his side as the creature whispered its garbled language in his ear, Bunny, Tooth and Sandy each waiting wondering what was going on that one of the head yetis had to come and inform North about it.

North's face twisted into a smile of amusement as he turned to face the yeti "Of course, we will be right there."

"Wha's goin' on North?" Bunny asked with one eyebrow raised.

"Follow me," Santa said in a low voice laced with laughter "the yetis found Jack, and apparently he is doing something that they wish us to see."

Tooth exchanged looks with Sandy, while Bunny shrugged, and all stood so to follow the lumbering creature through the workshop and into a hallway that led into one of the side tunnels allowing access into the launch tube for the sleigh. Stepping onto one of the many balconies on the side of one of the massive pillars within the icy tunnel, the Guardians looked out, and each smiled at what they found.

Jack sat on a rafter high up in the tunnel, his blue eyes bright and his face decorated by a wide grin. As far as he could see, there was no one else in the tunnel, and was unaware of his onlookers. Cupping his hands around his mouth, the youngest Guardian let out a loud bellow.

"HELLO!"

'HELLO!' came back the echo.

Jack snickered before calling "Is that you?"

'Is that you?'

"Yes it's me!" Jack replied happily.

'Yes it's me!'

"Prove it!" Jack cackled kicking his legs with delight.

'Prove it!'

A happy pout poked Jack's bottom lip out "I asked you first!"

'I asked you first!'

Jack melted into a round of helpless giggles, and Bunny found himself smiling warmly at the child having his fun. The last time he had found Jack doing something of this nature, it had been a dark conversation, leading Jack to a deep depression; but now it seemed that the boy had discovered the childish joy in playing with an echo, and was no longer haunted by memories of the past nor was talking to an ice person.

"John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt!" Jack sang gaily "His name is my name too! Whenever we go out, the people always shout, JOHN JACOB JINGLE HEIMER SCHMIDT NANANANANANANA!"

Tooth stifled a giggle, while Sandy rolled around midair melting into a puddle of silent laughter. North chuckled deep within his chest as they watched a rare moment of pure childlike glee from the winter spirit.

"…Whenever we go out, the people always shout…" Jack sang in a whisper bouncing up and down before flinging his arms wide and bellowing "JOHN JACOB JINGLE HEIMER SCHMIDT NANANANANA!"

Once again peals of laughter echoed throughout the tunnel, and the Guardians could only smile, Bunny especially as he shook his head "Count on the ankle biter ta be cute when I want ta be mad at 'im."

The others could only nod, because it was true, how could you stay mad at a winter spirit who was just plain adorable?

….

"What are these?" Jack asked hesitantly.

"They are socks," North shrugged.

"…Socks…?" the winter child repeated slowly, flipping the limp material around so to get a better look at them.

"Yes," the large man nodded "yetis make especially for you, something about how your bare feet make them feel cold…" North waved a dismissive hand "at any rate, they are for you, and you can wear them if you wish."

The two pairs of socks, one blue and one green, sat in Jack's hands as he shrugged "…Ok…"

Later on, the Guardians sat in the living room, each engrossed in some activity, before Tooth popped her head up, her face creased with confusion "Where's Jack?"

"I left him in his room some hours ago," North said vaguely as he pushed his reading glasses up his nose and peered at the list in his hands "I gave him a pair of socks to try on."

"Socks?" Bunny cocked his head at the odd concept of Jack wearing any kind of foot covering before giving it a firm shake "How long does it take ta try on a pair o' socks?"

Sandy shrugged before a small light bulb lit over his head, and he began weaving pictures for the Guardians "You think," Tooth interpreted slowly "that maybe Jack doesn't know how to wear socks?"

"O' course he know how ta wear socks," Bunny laughed before quickly sobering "doesn't he?"

Each of the Guardians looked at the other, before quickly standing and running to Jack's room in search of a boy who could possibly be having problems with footwear, what they found however was quite the opposite.

"I did not, and I'm telling you I never will." Jack's voice wafted through the door, the tone curiously high in a female falsetto.

"Ya did Sheila, admit it." This time the boy's voice was lower, and suspiciously Australian.

Cracking open the door, the Guardians peeked inside, and saw Jack sitting with his back to his door, and the socks on his hands. The blue sock on his right, and the green one on his left, and the winter child was using them as puppets. "Will you two ever stop fighting?" Jack sighed as he shook his head mournfully at his sock puppets.

"Tooth eats candy when no one's lookin'" Sock Bunny accused, his cotton covered brow furrowing with disgruntled agitation "I saw her myself."

"I never did such a thing!" Sock Tooth denied vehemently, her material mouth curling into a snarl.

"Yeah ya did," Sock Bunny taunted.

"Did not!" Sock Tooth defended.

"Did"

"Didn't"

"Did"

"DIDN'T!"

Jack snickered quietly to himself before regaining his composure "Bunny, do you have proof of this?"

"Yeah, I do," the sock replied smugly as it whipped forward and pulled a candy hidden under the green folds of Sock Tooth's elastic "see fer yerself!"

"NOOOO!" Sock Tooth wailed dramatically before pinning Sock Bunny with a glare "Well you suck your thumb when you're a kit!"

Jack melted into a round of giggles, delighted at being able to tease Bunny for sucking his thumb without actually telling him to his face. The Guardians found once again the warm smiles that Jack was so proficient at provoking lighting their features, but Tooth let out a small gasp and looked at Bunny. Aster looked down at her and winked.

"Don't worry Sheila," he whispered "I've known all along, but there's nothin' I can do about it, but don't tell Frostbite."

Tooth smiled and opened her mouth to reply but was cut off by more of Jack's play "What are you doing?" Jack said in Tooth's voice.

"I'm opening a window," Jack hiccupped his voice still overcome by laughter "all this hot air from your fighting is making it uncomfortable in here."

"Close that window," Sock Bunny bellowed "it's bloody chilly in here!"

"Don't use that word around the children!" Tooth admonished.

Shaking their heads, the Guardians walked away from the door, Jack's voice echoing behind them as he continued his fun. North sighed, his eyes twinkling from barely restrained amusement "Not exactly what I meant when I gave the socks for him to wear," the large man chuckled "but oh well, I cannot be mad for him using them as…toys."

The Guardians lasted about five seconds before melting into laughter, who knew that Jack Frost would complete them and make them a family in such a heartwarming way?

….

Sandy floated along the hallway at the workshop, searching for North, but a strange sound stopped him. Pausing in his flight, the golden man peeked inside the bathroom only to see Jack singing into his tooth brush.

"We are family," he sang as he wiggled his hips and bobbed his head "I got the Guardians and me! We are family, no come on everybody and SING!"

Sandy smiled broadly at the way Jack had come to finally see them as his family, and continued to watch, his amusement growing more and more as the mini show continued.

"And now ladies and gentleman," Jack said with an Elvis accent "I give you, when good Pookas go bad."

Scrubbing his teeth vigorously, the boy built up a bunch of froth in his mouth until it ran down his lips "Attack of the rabid Bunny!" he shouted at the mirror as he started growling and walking around like a zombie.

Bending over the sink, the boy spit into the bowl, and then straightened up and gave the looking glass a dazzling smile "Now Jack," he said in a falsetto voice meant to sound like Tooth "be sure to brush your teeth twice, no…three…wait….uh, FIVE times a day!"

Leaning forward, Jack curled his lips back checking over his teeth "Gotta check your teeth, and make sure there isn't any leftover food in them," he said still imitating Tooth before suddenly rearing back with a horrified gasp "What is THAT?! A spot?! NO, anything but a SPOT!"

"That's it," Jack cried clapping his hands on his cheeks and dancing around "I'm taking your teeth hostage, and cleaning them every day, ask North to make you some dentures from ice. You're cold enough so they won't melt!"

Sandy guffawed silently as he watched Jack put his tooth brush away, and then reaching into a drawer, the boy pulled out a comb and began combing his hair "Proper hygiene is important," Jack continued, now imitating North "You must always make sure to brush your teeth, comb your hair, and wash your face."

Finishing combing his hair, Jack pondered his image in the mirror before playing with his frost powers, and making his hair spike out like Sandy's. The boy cackled at the reflection, and then gave himself North's beard.

"Look at me," he said in an over exaggerated deep voice "I'm Santa!"

Jack tilted his head back, giggles pouring from his mouth accompanied by the occasionally snort. Sandy grinned, and sent some dream sand into the bathroom. When Jack looked back into the mirror, he had a pair of golden Bunny ears growing from his head. His mouth fell open, and he immediately looked at the door only to see the Sandman give a small wave before falling into a round of silent laughter. Jack's mouth moved, but no words came out, his blue eyes were wide with shock at being caught, until finally he shrieked.

"SANDY?!"
