I walk away from Bunny with Jack, trying to wipe away my tears before anyone notices. Unfortunately for me though, Jack noticed. "Hey, don't let what that jerk said get to you." He grabs my hand and looks at me with a sensitive smile.

"He's right though. We are nobodies. At least people know you. No one has ever even heard of me." I say, still sniffling.

After a moment of thoughtful silence he says, "Hey, how about this? If I get a believer before you, I'll make them believe in you. Sound good?"

I smile and nod. We look around the workshop, I see a Yeti working on Jewelry. I gaze at the sapphires and rubies and diamonds of all colors. One particular article caught my eye. 

 "Wow

 "Wow. Did you make this?" I ask the Yeti, it nods. "It's beautiful, a young woman will be so ecstatic to receive this." ( (A/n) I have a big vocabulary. Get ready for some five dollar words.) Jack laughs behind me and says "Well, how about you become that young woman?" He picks it up and says "May I?" To the Yeti. It thinks for a moment, then nods. Jack goes behind me and locks the necklace around my neck, then slowly lifts my hair to release it from the chain's prison.

 "It looks good on you." He says from behind, looking in the mirror nearby. "Thank you, Jack. Thank you." I add to the Yeti. This Yeti waves his hand as if to say 'it was nothing'. I giggle. "Jack, Lyra! Keep up!"

"Oh come on, North! I've been trying to bust in for years, I wanna good look! " says Jack, walking back to North with me behind him. "What do you mean, 'bust in'?" Asks, North, surprised. I was surprised as well, but for a different reason. "Oh don't worry. I never get passed the Yetis."

 I whisper in Jack's ear with a laugh "I tried to bust in here too."

"And now you have my up most respect." He said with a smirk. I curl my fist and hold it out to him, he returns the fist pump with an even bigger smirk. Ok, I gotta admit, he's pretty cute when smirking.  I think unregrettably. We both are a Yeti give us death glares and we both say "Hey Phil." Which we both laughed at.

When we get to North's office, he offers us fruitcake. "Uh.. No, thanks." Says Jack. North looks to me and I politely decline. He throws the plate away with a loud SMASH that made me cringe. "Now, to get to the tax of brass." He said, cracking his knuckles with a scary look in his eyes. 

Just as Jack tries to say something, the door closes itself, attracting my attention and Jack's. We hear footsteps and we turn to see North coming closer with a death look on his face. "Who are you, Jack Frost and Lyra Song? What are your centers?"

"O-our centers?" I ask, hiding behind Jack for protection. 

"If Manny chose you two, you must have something very special inside." He points to Jack's heart and pats my shoulder. North looks to the side and strokes his beard and smiles as if he has an idea. He pick up a Russian doll and goes through the whole thing about different parts of his personality and at the center... Is a tiny wooden baby? 

"There's a tiny wooden baby." Says Jack rubbing his head. Jinx!

"Look closer, you two."

 "Um... You have big eyes?" I suggest.

"Yes! Big eyes! Very big! Because they are full of wonder. Eyes that have always seen the wonder in everything! Eyes that see lights in the tree, and magic in the air. It is this wonder that I put into the world, and what I protect in children. It is what makes me a Guardian. It is my center. What is yours?" He asks us.

"Wouldn't I like to know?" I say, looking down. Jack tries to give back the wooden doll, but North folded his hand as if to say "Keep it. You will find out in time."

 Bunny suddenly barges in and says with a troubled look. "We have a problem, mates. Trouble at the Tooth Palace."

Omg this was a lot bigger than I thought it was gonna be. Sorry for the wait if anyone is actually reading this (which I highly doubt). See ya next time!
