Rey felt the cold wind around her. She was freezing and it made her look paler. Jack pulled her tightly in an embrace and went on flying till he reached the doors of North's home. He knocked and waited with the freezing girl in his arms. A yeti opened and Jack immediately dashed in. The yeti jumped excitedly at the girl's sight and ran off to North.

"She's here?" North asked.

He was the only one to understand the language of the yetis. Just a few seconds later their newest guardian with the future guardian-to-be in his arms came in.

"Hey guys, I found her. But I was not the only one. Pitch was there too."

"Pitch?"

The tooth fairy panicked. They all didn't expect Pitch to return so soon. Or even return at all. But you know the evil. It always comes back. The good needs the evil and the evil needs the good. None of these two sides can exist without the other.

"Yeah. And he said that he will definitely be back for her."

"That, not good. We need plan."

"And what do you suggest North?"

"I need cookies for thinking. WERE ARE MY COOKIES???!!!"

"North", Jack whisper-yelled, "you're waking her!"

"Too late", Rey mumbled while waking up.

Jack set her down and she stretched her arms and legs and yawned. The others watched her and waited till she looked at the little group of them.

"So, who are you?"

"You already met Jack. I am known as Santa, but call me North."

He turned to Sandy.

"That's the sandman, Sandy for short."

Rey sneezed.

"Oh sorry, well hello Sandy."

Sandy let some symbols float over his head. North laughed.

"Of course how could I forget. Would you like some hot chocolate?"

Rey nodded.

"Someone else? No? But me. Two hot chocolate!"

Some elves were running around and Rey yelped. The others were chuckling at her reaction. Jack stepped up to her and laid a hand on her shoulder.

"They're just the elves."

"Elves? You mean those who help making the presents for Christmas?"

"Eeeehm, well... not the elves make the presents. It's the yetis."

"Yetis? Here?"

"PHIL!!"

Phil, the yeti came strolling in.

"Whoa!"

Rey jumped at the sight of him. Phil waved and Rey looked like she was going to faint. The yeti went out of the room and the girl turned to the others again. She didn't knew the two left who weren't introduced to her yet.

"And who are you two?"

"Well that's..."

"Oh my gosh, it's nice to meet you. Open up, are your teeth really white? Yes, oh they are like Jack's, sparkling like freshly fallen snow."

Tooth was looking inside of Rey's mouth at her teeth.

"Tooth, Fingers out of mouth", North said.

"Oh, sorry. Well I'm Tooth."

"And that's the Easter Kangaroo."

"Th-the what? Hey don't call me that again mate."

"Why? Don't you like that name?"

"Jack he's not a kangaroo, he is a bunny."

"The Easter bunny."

Jack leaned over to Rey.

"I call him that because I like to tease him", he whispered into her ear.

"Oh, I understand. But that's not so nice."

"What can I do? I'm the guardian of fun and that means I'm doing everything that's containing fun. It's my center."

"Your... what?"

North stood next to her with something in his hands. He gave it to me. She looked at it and saw a wooden puppet.

"You're... angry?"

"Nohoho. Intimidating and fearless. Go on."

I opened the puppet and there was another one.

"You're downright jolly?"

"Not just jolly. But also mysterious and caring", he said while I opened another two puppets which were smaller than the previous one.

"And my center... what do you see?"

"Big eyes?" she questioned.

North's laugh was booming.

"Jack said the same thing like you. But yes. Big eyes, full of wonder."

"And thats what you protect in children?" she asked.

"Exactly."

"So Jack your center is fun, what is around it?"

"First there's mischievousness, then rebellion and carefreeness, loneliness, bravery and devotion. Then my center."

"What about the others?"

"Well as you can see, Tooth is really enthusiastic. Then she's passionate and hand-working, then motherly, protective and her center is memories."

"Let me guess, you collect the teeth because they are holding the memories?"

Tooth nodded.

"Sheila is clever", Bunny said.

"And your center...?"

"First self-confident and competitive, then grumpy and distrustful, then daring and impulsive, sensitive and my center is hope. I bring it with Easter."

"And Sandy here, creative, peaceful, talkative, fierce and finally he protects..."

"Dreams", Rey interrupted.

They all looked at her.

"Sorry", she mumbled.

"Don't be. Frostbite wasn't that clever when he first came here", Bunny said.

"I think it was more like kidnapped", Jack responded.

Rey leaned over to North.

"Is that normal?" she asked.

"It is. I'm happy when they're not here same time. Would end in great dispute."
