The eight year old girl nearly panicked when she say who she recognized to be Jack Frost lying motionless on the ground in her backyard, the woman who used to babysit her mother before she died having told her stories, who in turn told them to her daughter, about the Guardians that the Sandman told the woman. Going over to him she felt his head only to jerk it back after feeling how warm he was. "Um, okay what did mother tell me…Jack Frost is the Spirit of Winter, winter means cold I'll have to cool him down. Question is how let me think oh I know an ice cold bath." She told herself then ran inside to her personal bathroom and turned the water on as cold as she could get it filling the bathtub.

Going back outside she went to the garden shed to find a rope, knowing that she wouldn't be able to keep Jack's head above the water, and returned to her bathroom where she tied one end to the curtain rod, making sure to tie in a knot that could be undone easily by Jack should he wake up while she wasn't there, leaving it long enough for him to reach then once more went outside to carefully drag Jack along with his staff inside and into her bathroom.

Gently setting his head on the floor she ran to get some gauze to wrap around his wrist to prevent the rope rubbing against them and wrapped his wrists tightly in the gauze before heaving his body into the tub though she made sure not to get his wrists wet. As soon as he was in the water she grabbed for one arm, not noticing the water freezing solid around Jack, climbed up on the short ladder she had set up tying the rope around it and did the same thing with his other arm when she saw ice instead of water like she expected.

She sighed but lifted Jack's other arm and tied it up as well then stepped back to look over her work and was satisfied at least until she noticed Jack's staff lying on the floor and the loose end of the rope out of his reach. Picking up the staff she hung on the curtain rod just in Jack's sight then moved the rope within his reach. Once that's done she threw open the balcony doors of her bathroom to let the wind in and keep the bathroom as she could it.

"I wonder what happened to cause him to get sick?" She mused but ended up shrugging her shoulders before walking into her bedroom, making sure to close the bathroom door so her bedroom stayed warm. "Now I need to figure out how to get in contact with the other Guardians Bambi told mother about." She sat down to think and ended up deciding on trying to talk to Sandy, hoping he would listen to her before putting her to sleep.


As the monthly Guardian meeting grew to a close a few days later and with no sign of Jack all of the other Guardians became worried, Jamie most of all. "We must find Jack and quickly. I sense like something has happened to him, I feel like he has been over working lately, with Jack gaining new believers he has been trying too hard to play with them all and I'm afraid he has made himself sick." Jamie let his fellow Guardians know before they could go their separate ways.

"Jamie is right Baby Tooth has told me the same thing over the past weeks but with a lot of children losing teeth there wasn't really anything I could do about it." Tooth admitted.

North spoke quickly in Russian before he turned to the others, "Tooth you with me, Sandy with Jamie and Sophie with Bunny. We search every place with snow even if it just little bit." Everyone nodded and split up to begin searching for Jack. Jamie riding on Sandy's dream cloud with him, Bunny and Sophie traveling through their tunnels and Tooth going with North on his sleigh.


Baby Tooth was flying past an open door of a second story balcony, the doors wide open, when she recognized the head of white hair above the edge of the bathtub and darted inside, chirping excitedly at having found her favorite winter spirit but became worried when she didn't get a response from him. Reaching out she put a hand to his cheek but withdrew it in shock at him feeling warm instead of his usual cold.

"Baby Tooth?" Jack croaked his voice barely above a whisper. She chirped to him soothingly as she fluttered in front of his face and he gave her a small smile, his eyes open enough to show a hint of blue. "Go let the Guardians know where I am and not to worry."

Just as Baby Tooth moved to leave the door to the bathroom opened and a girl walked in holding a tray of cooled off chicken soup and a glass of orange juice on it. "Oh good you're awake. I brought you something to eat and drink. My mom says that chicken soup and orange juice is the best thing to have when someone is sick." She set the tray down before she noticed Baby Tooth hovering in front of Jack.

"Are you the Tooth Fairy?" She asked, tilting her head bringing a chuckle from Jack. "What, it's just a simple question."

"Her name is Baby Tooth and she's just one of many of Tooth's daughters though she is the only one who closely resembles her mother the most." Jack explained as Baby Tooth flitted closer to the girl, who smiled and held out a palm for Baby Tooth to land on.

"Hello Baby Tooth, it's a pleasure to meet you. Could you let your mother where Jack is and that I'll take care of him until someone is able to come get him?" Baby Tooth chirped a yes before going over to Jack, lightly nuzzled his cheek then flew away to let the Guardians know she found Jack.

Once she was gone the girl gave Jack her full attention, feeding him the soup and making sure he drank some of the juice while making light conversation. "You and Baby Tooth seem close." She commented.

"Yes before I became a Guardian I saved her from being captured by one of Pitch Black's Nightmares and we have been nearly never seen without the other since then. The only time we're apart is when our jobs take us to different parts of the world." As Jack talked the girl dipped a rag into the ice cold water, wrung it out then placed it on Jack's head to help cool him down more while the two of them waited for one or more of the Guardians to show up.


Jamie and Sandy are flying around the last place they knew Jack to be when Baby Tooth found them and excitedly fluttered around them. "Whoa calm down Baby Tooth, what about Jack?" Jamie questioned, holding a finger up for her to perch on.

Baby Tooth settled down on Jamie's finger and repeated where she had found Jack and that he was sick though being cared for by a little girl. "Show us where he is." Jamie told her and Baby Tooth took to the air again leading Jamie and Sandy to Jack. Sandy, Jamie and Baby Tooth came into the bathroom just as the child left it. "Jack!" Jamie called upon seeing what condition he was in making Jack turn his head.

"Hey Jamie mind untying me, my arms are getting tired." He joked as soon as he saw him and Sandy.

Jamie sighed, shaking his head, as Sandy moved to untie Jack. "Thanks Sandy." Jack mumbled as Jamie helped Jack break the ice up then climb to his feet and get out of the tub leaving Sandy to grab Jack's staff before they left to return to the Pole, Baby Tooth staying behind to let the girl know that Jack is with his family now.

Once they had Jack at the Pole Sandy sent out the lights to let the others know they found him and Jamie made sure Jack was comfortable on his bed in their bedroom, Jamie having gotten used to the cold, insisted on sharing a room with Jack. "What are we going to do with you big brother?" Jamie groaned as he took care of Jack making the Guardian of Fun chuckle.

"You're lucky that girl had found me when she did, knew who I am and how to help me or I would be in worse shape than I am now. Soaking in that ice cold water for a few days brought my fever down a bit. Oh Sandy when her mother was a child she would be taken care of by Bambi."

Sandy came to a stop just as he entered the room when Jack mentioned Bambi then flew over to his bed, a question mark above his head. "Bambi would tell the kid's mom stories about us and those stories were passed onto her daughter who found and cared for me these last few days."

Curious about whom Bambi was Jamie looked at them but before they could answer the rest of the Guardians showed up and insisted checking on how Jack was doing, crowding into his and Jamie's room. Once he had assured them all that he was going to be fine everyone but Jamie left the room, leaving the two of them alone Jack instantly falling asleep as soon as they were gone Jamie smiling at the Winter Spirit before settling on his own bed across the room. It took a few more days but finally Jack was once more up and causing mischief with Jamie, Sandy and Baby Tooth.
