A/N: I attached a picture of Tooth Palace in the media, so for those who haven't seen Rise Of The Guardians, check it out :))

"Where is everyone?" I asked. The globe room was empty. Except for Bunny, who was standing in the corner.

"Mate, there you are! You gotta help Tooth!" Bunny exclaimed.

"What's up, Kangaroo?" Jack twirled his staff casually."Why the fluster?"

"Mate, this ain't no time for jokes. Tooth's Palace is being attacked by Pitch again! Sandy's helping her fight off Pitch! " Bunny blurted out.

Jack and North's eyes widened."Come on. Follow me," North said, gesturing to me before walking away.

"Hey! Where are you going?" I called after him. Jack skipped after him and Bunny followed.

"To the sleigh!" He replied.

"What in the world is Tooth Palace?"

"I'll explain on the way!"

I suddenly realised what his first answer had been and raised my eyebrow questioningly."What sleigh? I'm not riding in a rickety old shack-" I started, but I stopped as soon as I followed North into a large room. A majestic sleigh, even with reindeers and lights, stood before me."Woah..."

"Impressed?" North smiled.

"Yep." I said."Alright, let's get on this thing," I muttered to myself, and I took a running leap towards the sleigh before doing a double flip and landing perfectly in the middle, but I didn't sit down. Jack had his mouth hanging open, but Bunny rolled his eyes."Show-off."

"Hey, not like you can do it, furball." I retorted."Oi! Stop calling me that!" He frowned at me."It's an affectionate nickname, Bunny." I said, giving him a cheeky smile.He rolled his eyes. Again. Meanwhile, Jack had already climbed into the sleigh and was standing beside me.

"North, I think I'd rather take my own tunnels, mate." Bunny said, folding his arms.

"Oh, Bunny, do we have to do this again?" North jokingly said.

"Oh fine, fine! But this is the last time." Bunny said, jumping into the sleigh and taking his seat. North laughed."I know it won't be the last time, Bunny. Well, off we go!" He held the reigns."Hee-ya!"

The sleigh began sliding along huge tunnels, supposedly warm-up tracks. I cheered as we began to go faster and faster. "Hold on tight!" North yelled at Bunny, who was gripping the sides of the sleigh for his dear life. I watched him, amused. Jack was laughing along with North. Jack gave me another of his crooked smiles, which made me blush slightly.

Soon, we shot out of the tunnel. As soon as the sleigh became steady, I cried to North, "That.Was.Awesome!"

He laughed his deep belly laugh again."Glad you enjoyed it."

"So...what is Tooth Palace?" I questioned.

"Well...it's where Tooth does her duties as a guardian. All the teeth she collects are stored there, and it is important for her to protect the teeth because every one of them contains a precious memory of childhood. Pitch steals the teeth because of that and to make the children stop believing in Tooth." North said.

"Oh." I nodded understandingly.

"That's how I knew who I was. Before becoming Jack Frost." Jack said, walking up to me.

"Sure. A mischievous imp." Bunny said with sarcasm."Hey! I was a fun guy, okay?" Jack said, smirking.

I shook my head, smiling. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw North reach into his pocket, taking out a globe-like object.
