I don't usually put song lyrics in my fics but I will do it this one time just don't expect me to do it again because this is a onetime thing. If you have seen the movie then you should recognize the song and I thought it would be fitting to put it in a 'Rise of the Guardians' fic. This chapter is part of the chapter 'Guardians of Bravery and Innocence pt. 2' so you should read that chapter first.


Jack sat on the now twelve year old Sophie's window frame trying to her to calm her down from the nightmare she just had, the girl curdled up against him and he gently ran his fingers over her hair. "Sing me a song Jack?" She begged as they sat there. Jack was quiet as he tried to think of a song and slowly a memory of a male voice singing to him as a child came to him as well as two furry arms cradling him in safety after he had a nightmare. As soon as the song came to him Jack started to softly sing.

Time to close your eyes, overlook the Darkness

And try to dream tonight

Not so long ago, your world was bright

So, take a breath and count to ten

And maybe you can dream again

Unknown to them a six foot one figure stood silently underneath the window listening to Jack sing instantly recognizing the song for it was the same one he had sung to a mischievous little brown haired, brown eyed boy one night after he had a nightmare. 'I wonder how much he remembers.' The figure thought as he leaned up against the house.

Still dream, and all the wonder that you knew

Will all come flying back to you.

If you remember all the hope you left behind,

Open up your heart and change your mind.

Oh, what you'll find if you still dream.

Sophie's eyes began to drop closed as the nightmare faded from her mind to be replaced by the dream that Sandy sent her, a smile coming to her face and a sigh of contentment escaping her lips. "Thank you big brother." She mumbled already half asleep.

Jack smiled, replying in a whisper. "You're welcome Sophie." Then finished the song as he carried her over to her bed and gently placed in it covering her up.

Fly away beyond the moon A place you've been before

Castles made of sand, the golden shore

And every wish you ever made

Is marching in a dream parade.

Dream and dream again.

Do you remember building bridges in the air?

Every hope you had and every prayer;

They're all still there if you dream!

Oh, what you'll find if you dream

Time to close your eyes, But when you awake

Still dream…

Once he was sure Sophie was sound asleep again Jack quietly made his way to the window and flew out of it. He is about to fly away, after closing the window, when a voice stopped him. "I didn't think you would have remembered that song. That you had lost it when you lost your memories."

Jack dropped to the ground in front of the figure as he stepped into the light. "I didn't remember it until just now I also remember a pair of furry arms cradling me as the song was sung to me as a human child. It was you wasn't it Bunny, you were the one who held me and calmed my fears after I had that nightmare?"

"Yes that was me. It was the day after Easter and after the first time we met you were only two at the time and quite the cute little ankle-biter." Bunny remarked as he met Jack's gaze.

Jack stood there as he tried to remember the first time he met Bunny, a smirk spreading across his face he innocently strode over to Bunny and quickly kissed him on the nose before flying off into the air laughing. As he flew off Jack waved to Sandy when he passed him on his way to visit Tooth and Sandy waved back, rolling his eyes when he heard Bunny yelling at Jack from the ground.
