A/N: Everyone goes on a hunt for Nessy. Though it's too easy to find her, especially for Bunny.
Ch. 16- Missing and Surprises
*Bunny's POV*
I sit at the breakfast table and grumble. North made the bloody show pony go up and get Nessy. I wanted to wake her up, probably with a kiss. I start imagining how I would wake her up when suddenly Jack Frost runs in and says hurriedly "Nessy's gone. She's not in her room."
"She's missing again," North grumbles, obviously annoyed at the girl.
"Where could she be," her dad asks.
"You guys don't know her very well do you," I observe. "Where else would she be besides her room," I ask.
"The Warren," Jack Frost says.
"Exactly, let's go," I say hopping along. We go through the door and as soon as we enter on the other side we are bombarded by green.
"The Warren," North starts.
"It's repaired," Tooth finished.
"Looks like Nessy was busy last night," Jack Frost observes.
A little white egg runs up to me and I ask "Show us where Nessy is please." We follow the tiny egg and come open Nessy curled up into a ball with a blanket over her. "You guys do this," I ask the eggs. They nod. "Good job little ones. You'll get a reward when I get back," I say. They jump excitedly. I pick up Nessy and carry her back with us. I lay her back in her room after they decide not to wake her up.
I pet her hair as I watch her sleeping face. She groans and says "Bunny," in her sleep. She curls up towards where I am sitting on the bed. I smile lightly at her and kiss her forehead. I walk back to the main room and see all of the guardians talking.
"What's up," I ask when I join them.
"Talking about Nessy's magic and how powerful she is," North voiced.
Sandy flashes a pumpkin and a guardian with his sand.
"You think it'd be a good idea to make her a guardian," Tooth asks.
I nod and say "Yea, but it's not my decision. It's MiM's. Besides what do her parents think of this?"
"We'd let her be one. She'd just have to visit from time to time," her dad voices.
"She might not come back with us," Sally observes.
"Probably not," Jack says sadly.
"You guys are talking as if she's going to disappear forever," Jack Frost voices.
"We know she won't. She just seems happy somewhere else we noticed," her dad voices as he looks at me with a smile.
Soon the moon shines brightly through the workshop as it did with Jack. "Looks like MiM picked a new guardian," North observes.
"Wonder who it is," Jack Frost says sarcastically. The light then changes into a pumpkin. Sally and Jack smile sadly and look at each other.
"Looks like we got to let our girl go," Jack says sadly. Sally nods and stares at the pumpkin sadly.
"What's going on with this powwow down her," a voice asks.
"Nessy you're ok," her dad says as he hugs her.
"Yea, yea, yea I'm ok. Just got drained from using too much magic. Now what's going on here. You two are acting more clingy than normal" she voices.
"MiM chose you as a guardian," North voices.
"Oh I see. That's why. It's no wonder why. He's been quite talkative," she voices.
"He talked to you," Jack Frost says surprised.
"Yea, he told me to fight when both Bunny and I were stuck in Boogie's lair," she voices.
"By the way nice number you did on him. I don't think he's ever coming back," North says.
'"Let's hope so," she says with a worried look.
"We should go home," her dad says.
"I'll come with you," she says smiling.
"No Nessy you need to stay. You have lots of training to do. Besides this is where you belong and where you seem the most happy around these people. Just promise to visit us," her dad says.
"Promise dad," she says as she hugs them goodbye. She watches them go and turns around and smiles at us. "So what does one do as a guardian," she asks.
As North excitedly starts teaching her about the backstory of the guardians Jack and I watch from the sidelines.
"I didn't get the speech," he voices annoyed.
"Probably because you were thrown into the guardian thing," I voice. He nods and watches Nessy, who every once and awhile will look at both of us and smile brightly.
"She looks happy. Did something happen between you two," he asks.
I instantly blush and mutter darkly to him "It's none of your business."
He starts chuckling and voices "You are too easy to read Kangaroo." He chuckles as he walks away and I glare at him angrily. I turn back to notice both North and Nessy staring at me curiously. I wave it off and walk away to my room.
I sit in my room and start pre-planning for Easter. I hear a knock on my door and I say "Come in."
Nessy pops into my room and hugs my shoulders. "Doing work," she observes.
"Aren't I always," I voice.
"Isn't early to plan for Easter," she asks.
"It's never too early," I say. I pat my lap and she moves to sit on my lap. "How was training," I ask against her hair.
"It was fun. He says I can stay here until I finish it, but I decided I'd finish it myself. Though I don't know where I'm going to stay," she voices with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Don't worry about that I have a surprise for you," I voice.
"Really," she says looking at me excitedly.
"Of course, but it will have to wait till tomorrow," I say.
"Aww," she complains and then she mutters "party pooper," under her breath.
"You know you like me," I say at her as I stick my tongue out at her.
"That I do," she says as she leans in close to me. Then she suddenly kisses my nose. I blush darkly and she giggles at me.
"What was that for," I ask watching as she moves from my lap onto my bed.
"Just cause. Plus maybe because I enjoy making you look embarrassed it's kinda cute," she voices.
"Oi sheela, I'm not cute," I snap at her.
"Fine, you're very good looking and I mean very," she says.
"By the way you still owe my the explanation of what Boogie meant with us not figuring out our feelings for each other," I voice.
She then blushed darkly and runs her hand through her hair as she sighs. "I'm surprised he didn't give it away, but since he didn't I guess I do get to tell you. I like you Bunny, a lot. There now you know," she says blushing even more as she watches me curiously.
"Nice to know you feel the same way I do. Also this means that you'll like my surprise even more," I say.
"You're rubbing it in now," she mutters darkly as she crawls under my covers.
"You know that's my bed right," I voice.
"I know it is. I'm commandeering it for now," she says popping her head out of the covers a bit and watching me expectantly. I sigh and watch as she snuggles into my bed. I then stop my preparations and get into the bed with her. Suddenly she hugs me and says "I was wondering when you'd pick up on what I wanted."
"Oh, so that's what you wanted," I voice.
"Mhm. I wanted to snuggle with you," she says sleepily.
"Go to bed, I promise I'll show you your surprise tomorrow," I say. She nods reluctantly. I kiss her longingly before we both drift off.
A/N: MiM chooses Nessy as a guardian. Bunny and Nessy sleep in the same bed for the first time.
