Burgess. A quaint little town that was once yours and Jack's home. Snow covered the roads and buildings, lakes were frozen and snowflakes danced in the air as you sat atop the roof of the Bennett's cozy little home, listening in on Tooth and Jack's conversation.

"Left central incisor, knocked out in a freak sledding accident," Tooth said suspiciously, holding a tooth in her hand, "I wonder how that could've happened, Jack."

Jack chuckled as he eyed the drawing of Jamie and his friends sledding day, "kids, huh?"

You hopped down from the roof onto the windowsill and climbed into the room, brushing the snow and frost from your clothes, this time, you had thought about wearing something warm. You couldn't believe it, you'd been around the entire world in just two nights! Collecting and leaving gifts for children.

"So that's where you were, huh? Having fun with kids that can't even see you," you sat down beside Jack, ruffling his hair as he smiled, "you'll get there snowflake, I know you will."

Tooth stuck a coin beneath Jamie's pillow and hovered above the sleeping child, "this was always the part I liked most. Seeing the kids," she paused, Jamie's sleeping face reminding her of the time's she had to put Vanish to sleep as a child, "why did I ever stop doing this?"

"It's a little different up close, huh?" Jack said, leaning onto his staff as he reminisced the sled adventure that took place a few days ago, before being shoved into a sack and tossed through a magic portal.

"Thanks for being here, Jack, (Y/N)," Tooth thanked quietly, resting her hand on Jack's shoulder, "I wish I'd known about your memory, I could have helped you."

"Yeah, well... Look, let's just get you taken care of. Then it's Pitch's turn," he whispered the last part silently, so you didn't hear it.

"There you are!"

You, Jack and Tooth turned and faced the window where North grunted, pushing himself through the opening with Sandy behind him, both carrying bags of teeth.

"Ssh!" you hushed, pointing to the sleeping to the sleeping child as your scowl pierced the calm air surrounding you.

"What gives, slowpokes?" he whispered upon hearing the boys grumbling and quiet snores, "how you feeling, Toothy?"

"Believed in."

You smiled at them, brushing your hand along Jamie's cheek before standing alongside them.

"Oh I see how it is," Bunny's voice broke through the silent air as a tunnel appeared in the corner, "all workin' together to make sure the rabbit get's last place."

You pressed your index finger to your lips and shushed him, causing him to raise his paws in understanding and defeat.

"You think I need help to beat a bunny?" Jack scoffed and you began your natural death stare as he held out his bag of teeth, "check it out, Peter Cottontail."

"Jackson Overland Frost, so help me, I will bury you six feet under," you glared daggers at the two, already fed up with their bickering.

"You call that a bag o' choppers?" Bunny smirked, averting your scowl away from his grin as he held out his bag, "now that's a bag of choppers."

"Gentlemen, gentlemen," North pushed between the two, "this is about Tooth!"

You slapped your face and groaned in frustration at North's pathetic excuse of breaking up a fight.

"It's not a competition. But if it was-" he dropped a large sack of teeth onto the floor, almost the size of a Great Dane and you growled in annoyance, "-I win! YEE-HAW!!!"
