Thank you warrior of camp half-blood for reviewing, it really means a lot to me.

I slowly turned around and what I saw astounded me. Before me was, Santa Clause, the tooth fairy, the sandman, and the Easter bunny.
"Oh my god! You're real? You're all real! That is amazing. It is such an honor to meet all of you. "All of the words came out in one big jumble.
"Hello Mina, you have grown so much since I last saw you. "The tooth fairy said. I smiled awkwardly "Well it has been a while since I lost my last tooth, so I guess it would have been a while. "
She laughed heartily "Just because you don't lose any more teeth, it doesn't mean I'm not looking out for you anymore. We do not only protect children, we protect everyone. "
She then surprised me by taking hold of my face and pulling out my cheeks and looking at my teeth. " They are just as beautiful as they were before, though you should probably start using floss. "
I could feel my face redden. I heard someone clear their throat and I turned to the sound. I was looking at the Easter bunny and Santa clause. The Easter bunny was much bigger than what I had ever imagined. He was at least 20 cm taller than I was, and I was around 170 cm tall.
" Hello there " The Easter bunny said " Long time no see. I remember when you were a little girl on Easter egg hunt, looking for my eggs. You were so cute with your big eyes and chocolate covered mouth. I never imagined you'd turn into this. "He looked me over while gesturing towards my body. Then Santa hit him n the arm saying "Hey, true as it may be, it is still inappropriate saying stuff like that to, well, 1. She's human, and 2. She is several hundred years younger than you. "
The sand man face palmed while shaking his head. Then he manifested a hat and lifted it as a greeting.
I couldn't help but giggle. This all felt so surreal. I looked over at Jack who was watching me with tender eyes. He put his arm around my shoulders and gave me a gentle squeeze. I smiled up at him and felt a faint pull in my heart. I didn't know if I had to be worried. I had always had a weak heart, and when I was a child, I had heard the doctor tell my mother that I probably wouldn't live past 15. Although, I was now twenty years old, I was still worried that I might not live much longer, so I always tried to live my life to the fullest. I loved helping people, I had a lot of friends and I loved them all so much, that sometimes it hurt when I thought of the fact that they might have to bury me someday soon.
I quickly pushed the sad thoughts aside; there was no reason to worry about something, when I didn't even know if it might happen. I looked at the other guardians again, when I saw them looking worriedly at Jack and I.
" Jack, you know… " Santa started.
Jack froze, and when he spoke it was in a harsh manner. "I know. You don't have to remind me all the time. " He removed his arm from my shoulder and stood stiffly beside me. I looked up at him, with a worry etched in my face. He looked at me and smiled sadly, he then looked at the others, who soon after disappeared after saying goodbye.
After they had left, he turned towards me and said, "I have to go, but I will come back soon." He caressed my face and smiled sweetly "The Easter bunny was right. You have really grown up to become one of the most beautiful women who have ever set foot on this earth. "
I laid my cheek against his hand and looking into his beautiful blue eyes. I was mesmerized by his beauty and couldn't take my eyes off of him. After we had been looking at each other, for what felt like an eternity, he pulled me in for a hug. My heart beat faster and I squeezed a little tighter around his waist. He then let me go and said goodbye, after which I was left standing in the cold November night.
After some time I went inside and went to bed while thinking about all of the things that had happed that day.
The next day was a blur to me. I went to work, answered a few letters and went home. When I got home, I heard a tapping noise on my window. At first, I thought it might have been a bird, but when I looked, I was surprised to see Jack sit in front of my window waving at me. I quickly opened the window and he hopped inside.
"Good afternoon, beautiful. " He said as he greeted me by engulfing me in a big hug. I smiled and giggled, while hugging him back. "Good afternoon, Jack. How has your day been? "
"Much better now that I'm with you. The others have been nagging me about not going to see you today, they don't think it is a good idea, but well, they don't really decide what I should or should not be doing. "
I knew I should be asking him about it, but I was just so happy seeing him again, that I couldn't say anything.
We talked for hours about so many thing I almost can't recall it. I made dinner and we both ate some, and then we talked to well into the night. In the end I fell asleep while listening to him tell a story about some child he met a couple of years ago. I think his name was Jamie.
