As Jack and Tooth left the group and walked towards the office, the two started to talk.
"Um… Jack? I know that you usually come up with crazy ideas, but… how are you going to visit Broody as the "Guardian of Fun" without him recognizing you?" Tooth asked while they got closer to the office. From their distance they could hear Jody and Broody arguing.
"Come on Tooth, do you really thought that I was going to make a physical entrance?" Jack said with a grin and a mischievous spark in his eyes.
"But didn't you say you were going to use a mask?" Tooth asked frowning. Jack snorted.
"No, Jamie said that. I never actually confirmed it" he said while lowering his voice just in case Jody and Broody listened (although by the way they were screaming it was probably not happening).
"But you mentioned Batman and Spiderman…" she said.
"I was referring on how they changed their voice when they were on superhero duty… I guess I gave the wrong idea- Wait, you know who Batman and Spiderman are?" Jack started to say until he realized what Tooth just said.
"Yeah, I do. You would be surprised at how many children have lost their teeth while pretending they are superheroes" Tooth said.
"Well that makes sense… well... if you would like to know how I know about them… well, I've told you before… 300 years is a lot of free time" he said smiling. She returned it.
"So… what are you going to do then?" she asked.
"You'll see" he said as they passed the office (and the screams from the counselors) and got into the forest. Jack then stopped walking when he saw a tree with a hole… which was covered with ice?
"Jack wh-" Tooth started to say, but before she could finish the question, the winter spirit had smashed the ice with his right elbow. Inside the tree there was a recorder.
"This is a sound mixer. North gave it to me last year for my birthday. It works like a microphone, but if you push one of these buttons it changes your voice completely. I have played a few pranks on Bunny with it" Jack explained
"Well that explains why he came to a meeting wanting to kill you" Tooth said while giggling at the memory.
"Yeah, that's the reason why I hid it here" Jack said with a smile.
"So, what's the plan?" she asked. Jack´s smile became a mischievous one.
5 minutes later, the two Guardians were in their positions. Jack had decided that it was better placing themselves near the window, so they could see and hear what was happening inside, without being seeing. He had also chosen that spot so the sound mixer could be heard loud and clear on the inside. Broody and Jody were still fighting about the activities.
"Broody, this was supposed to be fun! The materials are all ready here!" Jody said.
"I DON'T CARE! IT'S DANGEROUS!" Broody screamed.
"YOU MEAN THE PINS AND NEEDLES?! THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE FOR!" she yelled back.
"THEY COULD EAT THEM!" Broody continued to argue.
Jack and Tooth shared a "what the heck?" look from their hiding place.
"S. A. W. IS FROM AGES 6 TO 18, BROODY! IM PRETTY SURE THE KIDS AND TEENAGERS KNOW WHAT TO EAT AND WHAT NOT TO EAT!" Jody yelled in frustration.
It was then when Jack gave Tooth the signal to start. She pressed a button from the sound mixer and spoke.
"BROODY!" her voice came out spooky. Jack had to cover his mouth to stop a laugh from coming out.
The two people in the office jumped.
"Who- who's there?" Broody asked. Jack then grabbed the mixer.
"WHO AM I? WELL IM THE ONE AND ONLY… IRREPLACEBLE… GUARDIAN OF FUN!" Jack said. Now it was Tooth's turn to hold her laughter.
"YOU!" Broody yelled in realization.
"YEAH, ME" Jack responded.
"What do you want? Making up dangerous activities isn't enough for you?" the counselor asked, Jody was still frozen in her place, not sure what to do.
"DANGEROUS? IVE BEEN WATCHING THIS CAMP SINCE MONDAY AND NOTHING DANGEROUS HAS HAPPENED" Jack said. His response took Jody and Broody by surprise.
"You- you have been watching us? You have been watching the children?" Jody asked, terror forming in her face.
"DON'T WORRY JODY, IM NOT A PEDOPHILE. IM HERE TO SEE IF MISTER BOREDOM HERE UNDERSTANDS THE CONCEPT OF FUN" Jack assured her.
"Oh" was all Jody said.
"Mister Boredom? I'm not boring man!" Broody said angrily.
"Are you sure, Broody?" Jody asked while glaring at him.
"Don't get on his side!" he complained.
"And why not? He made activities that are really fun and you decided to go on a rampage of nonsense" she snapped back.
"Should we say or do something?" Tooth whispered to Jack.
"Nah, this is getting good" he said with amusement.
"Jack…" Tooth said with a glare.
"Relax mom, I'm on it" he said smiling. She playfully punched him in the shoulder as a response.
"ALL RIGHT YOU TWO, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" Jack said with the mixer. Jody and Broody stooped almost immediately.
"BROODY, WHY DO YOU SAY THAT THE ACTIVITIES ARE DANGEROUS?" Jack asked. From their hiding place, he and Tooth could see that Broody's face had gone pale.
"My- my older brother… he always wanted me to have fun… and one day, he and his friends were playing and enjoying themselves… and… he slipped. He hit his head with a rock. I was only 5 and he was only 14" Broody said dryly.
"IM SORRY ABOUT YOUR BROTHER. BUT I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HATE THE ACTIVITIES" Jack said with a serious tone.
"BECAUSE HAVING FUN KILLED HIM!" Broody yelled.
"I SEE. BUT YOU SAID THAT HE WANTED YOU TO HAVE FUN… I AM PRETTY SURE HE WOULD HAVE LIKED YOU TO HAVE FUN IN HIS MEMORY, BROODY" Jack said.
"I- I guess you're right" the counselor said. He looked at Jody, who was looking at him with pity. He made a decision.
"I'll call the mayor and I'll tell there was a misunderstanding with the activities. You tell the kids to start building the stuffed toys" Broody said. Jody hugged him and got out of the office.
"Thank you, Guardian of Fun. You are right, my brother would have liked me to have fun and don't be a… Mister Boredom, as you said" Broody said.
"YOU'RE WELCOME. IM SURE HE IS PROUD OF YOU NOW" Jack said as he and Tooth got out of their hideout, satisfied with their work.
"You are amazing. I'm sure your sister would be proud of you too for showing someone else to have fun" Tooth said as they approached the group. Jack smiled.
"I know" he said as a tear came down his cheek.
"You miss her, don't you?" Tooth asked.
"Yeah, but… hey! Like you said: I'm sure she would be proud" Jack said. And the two went to meet the others, who seemed fascinated by something Rosi was telling them.
Little did the two knew it was about them.
