NOTE: I DO NOT OWN RISE OF THE GUARDIANS OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS

Jack came in through the window North had left open for him, and made his way towards North's office.

Usually, the workshop was a chaotic mess of yetis running back and forth, elves scurrying between their feet, and wonder.

But today felt different, mixed in with the regular chaos, was different kind of atmosphere. It felt almost ominous.

Jack walked through the familiar halls and stood outside the office when he heard yelling. However, unlike North's Russian accent, it had an Australian twang.

"The kangaroo's here; great." Jack grumbled to himself before opening the wide doors, and saw why Bunny was so hopping mad and yelling: he was covered from head to toe in red and green paint, and sparkles.

Jack immediately fell to the ground in hysterics.

"Oi! What are you laughing at, Frostbite?" Bunny growled at Jack.

"Y-you." Jack hiccupped after he (sort of) got his laughter under control.

"Oh, okay. I thought you were just remembering what you represent. My bad." Bunny said with a smirk.

"And what exactly does that mean, Kangaroo?" Jack asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, you know. Just that 'fun' ain't a real thing to protect."

"Hey! And hope is?!" Jack yelled. He couldn't believe what Bunny had said! A little bit of laughter doesn't mean Bunnymund could question his right to be a Guardian!

"Bunny! Jack! Stop this!" North bellowed, unhappy with the nasty turn in the conversation.

"You're just a mistake, you know? I would rather have the Groundhog instead of you. At least he supports Spring and life. What about you? You are winter: bitter cold and death."

The whole room was silent as Bunny's hurtful words struck a blow at Jack's feelings. Even Bunny looked appalled at his rash words. His ears drooped and opened his mouth to apologize.

"Look, mate. I'm sor-"

"Well, why didn't you say that before?" Jack interrupted, tears welling up in his eyes. He ran out of North's office and flew away before Bunny could finish his apology.

"Bunny! Vhat vas dat?! Jack did nothing to you!" North shouted at Bunny.

"I-I know I was just so mad an'... Ugh, I gotta go find 'im." Bunny said agitatedly before hopping out of North's office and into the workshop.

Bunny thought he that should check Jack's lake in Burgess first, since the kid always seems to be hanging around there. He tapped his foot on the ground twice and hopped down the hole.
