* Just letting you know, I'm working on original works right now. Not just fanfiction. So I may not be able to update as often, but I promise you won't have to wait too long.

Taffy

"I still don't understand why you did this, Jamie!" Tooth scolded with a wagging finger.

Jack choked through a chuckle and the child playfully clubbed the spirit's arm.

Punjam Hy Loo, or known simply as the Tooth Palace, was abuzz as usual. All the fairies swarmed around the trio, going about their usual work. Jack and Toothiana stayed calmly in place, barely taking heed to their close proximity as they zipped passed. But, to Jamie, the little fairies were like speeding bullets just narrowly missing his head and shoulders as they flew by.

"Oh no you don't," Tooth exclaimed, grabbing Jamie mid-jump to place him back on the counter. Jamie groaned and rolled his eyes as Tooth sifted through his mouth again, inspecting the dilemma.

Tooth sighed. She removed her hands only to firmly cup Jamie's chin. "What on earth compelled you to eat this much taffy," she demanded.

"He dared me!" Jamie pointed hastily at the winter spirit who was just about bursting with laughter.

"Somehow," Tooth said, fluttering back and scratching her chin. "That doesn't surprise me."

"Hey," Jack threw his hands up defensively. His smirk widened. "He had left-over Halloween candy and neither of us wanted it to go to waste." Tooth scoffed. Even though she was forcing herself to restrain the instinctual turmoil to dote on Jamie's teeth, Tooth still managed a small grin.

"You two wait here," she said as she began floating to an upper balcony. "I'll be right back with something to scrape that taffy off."

"Scrape?" Jamie squeaked.

Jack chuckled, his tone involuntarily softening at the hint of Jamie's fear. Jamie moaned in disgust as he flicked his tongue over the caked taffy on his teeth. The poor kid couldn't even close his jaw because his top and bottom teeth would immediately stick together.

Jamie flashed a glare at his Guardian. "I blame you for this."

Jack smiled at the boy. "Not my fault you love taffy so much," he joked, crossing his arms.

"You dared me to!"

"But you didn't have to go through with it," Jack shook his head, grin plastered to his face. He pointed his staff in the boy's direction. "You're close to perfecting sarcasm and you have incredible accuracy in a snowball war, but I still have a lot to teach you. And your next lesson," Jack swung his staff over his shoulders. "is the proper way to eat candy so Tooth doesn't have an aneurism."

Jamie sighed in exasperation and flopped back to lie on the counter. The child pursed his lips, tongue trying to free the taffy on the roof of his mouth. Jamie screwed his eyes shut to rest until Tooth's return. He never particularly liked the dentist and that opinion has yet to change. The irritation only furthered when a shadow loomed over him.

"Let me see," Jack chuckled, looking into hazel eyes. After a moment, Jamie complied. The winter spirit gazed at the kid's teeth and narrowed his eyes before pouring energy into the staff. The weapon glowed and Jack used it as a flashlight to get a better view of his friend's teeth.

"No offense, kiddo," Jack said, gazing at the brightly colored candy. "But pink is not your color. I mean, I can't even tell the difference between taffy and gums right now."

Jamie almost rolled his eyes until he noticed Jack's mischievous expression. The boy gulped. "Jack…" he warned.

"You know," Jack said, gently holding the child's chin so that he couldn't close his mouth. "I still haven't gotten revenge on you from the reindeer incident."

Jamie's eyes instantly widened and before he could snap his mouth shut, Jack already tapped the hook of the staff against the kid's jaw. He gasped as a sharp chill rushed over his face. When the cold didn't subside, Jamie sat up and ran a fingernail over his teeth.

"Jack," he exclaimed as the spirit busted out in laughter. "You better unfreeze the taffy before the tooth fairy gets back, or else…"

"O-or else what, pipsqueak," Jack said, the volume of his laughter rising as Jamie's cheeks erupted bright red in anger.

"Fix it," the nine-year-old demanded in a shrill tone, pointing to his teeth. Well, at least he looked nine. A year or two had passed after the day they bonded.

"…Nah," Jack decided flippantly. "I'll wait until Tooth gets back. Unless," Jack wagged an eyebrow while leaning forward on his staff, his pale forehead just barely brushing Jamie's. "you want to unfreeze it yourself."

"Yeah right," Jamie scoffed, crossing his arms. "You still haven't taught me any magic, yet."

Jack shrugged. "It's dangerous stuff, kiddo. I want to wait another year."

Jamie grimaced. "But I don't want to wait another year to become your apprentice."

"Apprentice, huh?" Jack grinned softly, mussing the kid's hair. "Actually, you've probably been my apprentice since the fight with Pitch during Easter." Jamie grinned at this. "Don't worry," Jack waved a hand. "We'll be starting your magic before you know it."

Jamie sighed. "Thanks Jack," he mumbled, still smiling lightly. He opened his mouth again. "Can you unfreeze my teeth now?"

"Nope."

Jamie was about to argue further before he pulled out his secret weapon. The little boy downcast his gaze and jutted his lower lip. And for the icing on the cake, he produced a soft, almost unintelligible, sigh.

Of course, Jack could feel Jamie's every emotion and detected zero hints of anything regarding that of sorrow. Jack shook his head incredulously and averted his eyes, trying to remain unfazed by the kid's sad expression.

"Fine," Jack caved, exhaling after a moment. "You win." Through his smile, Jamie pushed his lip out further. "That's it," Jack accused, pulling his charge into a headlock. "You're not allowed to be this adorable anymore. Now open your mouth so I can unfreeze the taffy."

Jamie smiled triumphantly and began parting his jaw. He blinked, grabbed his own chin, and pushed. His innocent eyes widened as he tried to pry his mouth apart, but it wouldn't budge. Jamie swallowed in panic and he looked desperately to the winter spirit.

"Let me guess," Jack barked a laugh. "Your teeth froze together?"

Jamie mumbled an exclamation, eyes wide with alarm. It wasn't Jack's fault this time. The ice that claimed the taffy spread until it fuzed with other bits of the candy. It was Jamie's own, unpracticed winter powers to be blamed.

"Yeah," Jack decided. He stepped away from Jamie, twirling his staff. "You're at Tooth's mercy now, kid."

The winter spirit laughed at the child's grumbling. Though Jack's smile bordered on sympathetic, he still leaned against a pillar enjoying a sweet taste of revenge.

The Easter Bunny, overall, preferred chocolate. He knew the perfect recipes and it was one of the most iconic treats in an Easter basket. However, the children of the world tended to be picky, so he found himself dabbling more and more with a variety of candy.

And who better to test his latest creations than his favorite little ankle biter? After given a small tray of taffy, Sophie immediately fled around the Warren to go in pursuit of a butterfly and had later ran off to chase a small horde of Easter eggs. Bunnymund merely laughed and watched his bond take off to play. He would go find the tray when Sophie laid down for a nap.

However, an hour had passed and the little girl had yet to return. Bunny's nose twitched. That wasn't like her. Though easily distracted and carrying the freedom to traverse anywhere in the Warren, the ankle biter still knew to frequently check back with the rabbit, especially if Bunny wasn't trailing along with her like he normally did.

A voice nagged at the back of Bunny's mind. Although, it wasn't his own voice, but someone else's. It almost sounded like Sophie's. Drooping an ear in confusion, the Guardian took off to search around the Warren. Eventually, a few sentinel eggs nodded him in the right direction.

Under the shade of a very tiny willow tree, one of Sophie's favorite spots in the Warren, sat the aluminum tray that once held little squares of taffy. But they were gone, as was Sophie. Bunny was about to sprint off until a flash of pink squirmed out of the bushes. The rabbit's jaw dropped.

The little ankle biter's unkempt hair was messed up further by the abundant strings of sticky candy. Skinny wads of taffy pulled at her hair and even went so far as to wrap around her waist and legs. Bunny would be picking taffy out of her hair – and toenails – for the next hour or two.

Sophie attempted to tug away some of the candy, and the chord inside Bunny twanged sharply at the girl's yelp of pain.

"Come here, ankle biter," Bunny reached forward to scoop the child up in his arms and ignored the patches of taffy that clung to his fur. "Let's get you cleaned up."

Sophie giggled cheerfully in his arms. She plucked a few chunks of taffy from her shoulder and passed it to Bunnymund's face.

"Candy," the little girl offered. Bunny made to refuse until his eyes fell upon those big green orbs. He tore his gaze away and chuckled at the taffy wrapped around the toddlers tiny form. Actually, she should be leaving her toddler years very soon, but the bond prevented that kind of aging, for the while.

Sophie opened her palms, still offering the taffy to the rabbit. Bunnymund took the candy in his other paw while the ankle biter nuzzled her cheek into his soft fur.

Bunny blinked after he stashed the taffy away. "You are not allowed to be this adorable," he concluded with a grin and the shake of his head.

* I know some of you may not have been expecting that version of Jack's revenge, but I may think of something better (an alternate revenge, if you will). Keep the requests coming guys. And there's a reason why I haven't done some of the older requests yet, but I will save that reason for another day. It's a surprise!

By the way, thank you so much for reviewing guys. The constructive criticism and comments help so much! Thank you!
