 "Ah! Jack Frost and Lyra Song!" Yelled North the two yetis behind us helped us up. I thanked them while Jack yelled at them for personal space. "I hope the yetis treated you well."

" Oh yeah, you know, we love being shoved in a sack and tossed through a magic portal. " Jack says, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Although I did kinda deserve it. I kinda landed in the bunny." I mumble to myself. Although I'm pretty sure Bunny heard me, his ears bent down behind him and his face curved into a small, forgiving smile.

" Oh good, that was my idea." He says. If I was in an anime, I would have sweat dropped. Hey, just because I'm a spirit doesn't mean I'm not up to date on things kids do these days.

 "You know Bunny, obviously." North says, gesturing to the bunny in question. I wave at him with a small smile while Jack says "Obviously."

 "Don't be rude, Frost." I warn.

 "And Tooth."

 "Hello, Jack. I've heard so much about you, and your teeth!" She squealed the last part, making me giggle.

 "My-my what?" He says, confused. Tooth pries open his mouth and mumbling to her mini fairies. "They really do sparkle like freshly fallen snow." She fawns over his teeth then comes to me.

 I open my mouth willingly, and she complements me on my teeth as well. "Look at how you flossed! Rivaling even Jack's!" 

 "Thanks? I guess?" I say, my hand scratching the back of my neck.

 "And Sandy." Says North, going back to introductions. He sees Sandy floating slight and eyes closed. Out like a light.

 "Sandy? Oh, for the-- WAKE UP!" He yelled, startling the poor thing awake. He saw me and Jack and waved with a smile. I wave back. Ok, he is just too cute

 "Does anyone wanna tell us why we're here?" Asks Jack, impatient. Sandy's hand shoot up and almost immediately, sand images appear over his head. Neither of us understood. Jack looked at me, and I shrugged, to say 'I have no clue'.

"Yeah, that-that's not helping, but uh, but thanks little man." He turns and freezes a poor little elf with a little plate in his hands, saying "Man, we must have done something really bad to get you guys together." He turns to the others with a new idea. "Are we on the naughty list?"

"We? Don't drag me down with you! "

"Lyra is right. She is actually one of the best in nice list. You however, hold the record of naughty."

 "Why am I not surprised?" I say with a smile pointed at Jack. He shrugs his shoulders and lifts his hands as if to say "what can I say?" I roll my eyes.

"But no matter, we overlook. Now we are wiping clean the slate." I only now realized his heavy Russian accent as he wipes his naughty tattoo for emphasis.

"How come?" Asks Jack .

"Ah, good question." Bunny deadpaned. I couldn't help it, I had to giggle. Jack glared at me and I shrugged, mouthing "sorry"

"How come? I tell you 'how come'! Because now you are GUARDIANS!" 

Suddenly, an explosion of noise almost busted my earbuds. There was Fireweilding yetis, necklaces being held by little fairies, and elves playing some really small instruments. All the attention was a little too much for me, my breath became uneven and my heart started beating really fast. I was alone for 400 years, don't judge. I reached for Jack's hand, looking at him desperately.

Seeing my distress, Jack lifts his staff and slams it on the floor. Ice and frost covered the floor, the music stopped and the torches were blown out like candles.

"What makes you think we wanna be Guardians?!" He said, moving so that I was safely hidden behind him. A moments silence was interrupted by North's loud laughter. He stops only to say "Of course you do. MUSIC!" He adds with a snap of his fingers . The elves started playing again.

"NO MUSIC!" Yells Jack. A little elf slams his horn on the ground and pushes a fellow elf in frustration. "Look, this all very flattering, but uh... You don't want me. Your all 'hard work ' and 'deadlines'! And I'm... Snowballs and fun times. I'm not a Guardian." They look at me and I say "Hey, dont look at me. I'm just a music buff. Not exactly fitting into the 'hard work and deadlines' mold here either." I say, throwing my hand in the air in a defensive position.

 "Jack, Lyra, I don't think you know what it is we do." Tooth says, fluttering to the globe "Each of those lights is a child. "

"A child," Continued North "who believes. And good or bad, naughty or nice. We protect them... Tooth, fingers out of mouth." He adds, noticing Tooth, who was invading Jack's personal space. 

"Right. Sorry. They're beautiful." I jab him in his side, saying with a smirk. "Guess who has an admirer.~" Jack glared playfully at me and returns to the situation.

"Alright. No more wishy washy. Pitch is out there, doing who knows what!"

 " Pitch? The Boogieman? " I ask, I've seen what he did to kids, scaring the life out of them. I gotta say, not a fan. "Yes, and when he threatens us, he threatens them as well! " North gestures towards the globe.

 "All the more reason to pick someone more qualified." Says Jack stubbornly.

"He's right. I can throw a punch, sure. But I can't protect all of the world." I say, walking away with Jack.

 "Pick? You think we pick? You were chosen! Like we were all chosen. By man in moon." Wait... what?

 "What?" Asks Jack, looking back.

"You mean the moon. He talks to you?" I say, just as confused as Jack is.

"You see, you cannot say no. It is destiny." Says North, looking very serious.

"But why didn't he tell us that himself?" I ask.

"After 300 years, this is his answer? To spend eternity cooped up in some-some hideout think of new ways to bribe kids?! Oh no. THAT IS NOT FOR ME!" He yelled to the moon then turned to the others, saying "No offence."

 " How-how-how is that not offensive? " says Bunny. "You know what I think? I think we just dodged a bullet. I mean, what does this clown know about giving joy to children?"

"Uh, ever heard of a snow day? I mean, it's no, hardboiled egg, but kids like what I do."

"But none of them believe in you, do they? You see, you're invisible mate, like you don't even exist."

"Hey! Enough. There's a real low blow for a guy who claims to be protecting  kids." I growl. Jack takes my arm saying "No, the kangaroo's right. " 

'Lets get ready toooo rumble!!' I yell in my head.

"A-a what? What did you call me? I'm not a kangaroo, mate." Says Bunny, walking over to Jack, looking dangerous. 

"Oh, and this whole time, I thought you were! Off you're not a kangaroo, what are you? "

 "I'm a bunny, the Easter Bunny. People believe in me."

'Ok, a little too far, dude. ' tears began to form in my eyes. I look down until I hear North say "Jack, Lyra, walk with me."

Yay! I finished it! I hope you like the little showdown between Jack and the Easter Kanga--er... Bunny. Be Sure to vote and comment.
