I was watching the children, doing my job, when I heard fluttering. I looked behind me and saw a woman with feathers like Tooth, but her mouth was shaped like a beak. She had a dress on, and her feathers were white.

"I've heard about you. Mother Goose right? The Guardians have told me about you," I said. "Yes, hello dear," she said in a sweet, motherly voice.

"What brings you here?" I asked sweetly. "I came to give you this." She handed me an envelope and a feather. "What's this for?" I asked. "Read and find out." Then she vanished.

-------------------------------------------------------------

After reading the letter, I was a bit confused. I already have a job, why call on me? I decided to go check it out, but I wanted to talk to Jack first.

-------------------------------------------------------------

When I got to the pole, I saw Jack sitting down looking out the window. "Hey Jack," I said, sitting next to him. "Hey," he said, smiling at me. "What's up?" I asked. "Not much, was just thinking," he replied. "Well, take a look at this. Weird, right?" I said, handing the envelope to him.

After a while of reading it, he looked at me. "Thinking of going?" he asked. "I don't know, should I?" I responded. "Do what you feel is right," he said sweetly.

"OK, I'll go. Do you want to come with?" I asked. "Sure, I could give you support," he said, giving me that beautiful smile of his. I kissed his lips.

"You're the best. You know that, right?" I asked. He just gave a light chuckle and a small kiss on the lips. "Let's go tell the others that we'll be gone," he said, getting up. I nodded and got up too. I hope no one misses us too much while we're gone.

-----------------The Next Day-----------------------------

I followed the instructions on the letter and a blue portal appeared, similar to North's portals. I looked to Jack. "Ready?" I asked. He grabbed my hand. "Ready." Then we went through the portal.

On the other side we were in a castle. I heard some voices and Jack must have heard them too because he started dragging me with him to the source. A few other girls were standing there. "Hi." I said, my grip on Jack's hand tightening. They gave us small smiles and waved back. I hope that this visit won't take to long.
