Hellooooooo people of Fanfiction! I'm back yay. For those of you who don't know me check out my other ROTG story called Home Alone (it's complete). Firstly though is this one. This is a series of mini stories. There will be arcs but no pairings. I haven't done this before but thought I would give it a go. I've got a heap of ideas and I encourage all of you to give me some too :D I thought I would start off with something light and fun firstly though. Enjoy and let this rollercoaster of stories begin!
MISSING TOOTH
It's quiet. Bunny was loving every minute of it. Sitting on the couch, crunching down on a carrot, freshly picked from his garden in the Warren, Bunny heaved in a relaxed sigh. Their Guardian meeting, as they had decided to call them, had been moved to an hour later so now he had time to spear. He was content to use this time wisely, doing absolutely nothing. The others hadn't arrived yet. They should be soon though. The others haven't yet been told about the delay. North discovered twenty minutes before the meeting the elves had gotten into his experimental potions. To put it shortly North had a lot to clean up.
Someone suddenly poked his arm. Bunny looked down to see the Sandman standing there waving hello.
"Hey there Sandy. Meetin's been pushed back an hour,"
A golden glistening question mark appeared above the little man's head.
"Elves in the potion room," Bunn said flatly.
Rolling his eyes and nodding in understanding Sandy took up a seat next to Bunny and munched on a cookie one of the elves not in trouble had left on the table when Bunny had arrived. Thankful for the still remaining silence Bunny went back to his thoughts.
The peace didn't last for more than a minute. There was a flash of blue and white followed closely by a freezing rush of wind. His carrot was knocked out of his hand along with Sandy's cookie. The door to the lounge room opened to reveal North, dusting an orange powder from his hands only to be thrown off balance by the same rush of blue and white.
"What the hell was that?!" Bunny yelled.
North stumbled into the room shaking his head, eyes wide with shock. He had had such a long day he had been looking forward to a nice get together with his friends. He definitely was not expecting to be tossed off his feet by a fast moving blue object.
"I believe that vas Jack." North says.
"What's all the hurry about then?" Bunny yells bewildered, Sandy nodding encouragingly next to him.
"I have n-"
Once again they were knocked off balance, but this time it was by a blur of green, blues, pinks and purples.
"Jack. Come back!" The Tooth Fairy screeches flying past the Guardians, heading for the door.
"Tooth!" North says drawing the fairies attention.
Tooth had been so preoccupied chasing down Jack that she hadn't even noticed the others in the room. Halting just before the door she looked at the others.
"What is going on? Don't tell me. Frostbite set off more chocolate bombs in the Tooth Palace, didn't he?" Bunny says folding his arms across his chest.
"No, that's the problem I don't know what's wrong. He won't stop to talk to me."
"Vhat do you mean Toothie?" North asks placing a hand on the distressed Guardian
"I mean he was at the Tooth Palace visiting Baby Tooth. I left the room for a little bit and when I get back he takes one look at me and takes off. He looked…scared North."
"I'm sure it's nothing. Come we will find Jack and sort this out da?"
"Okay."
They agreed to spilt up to cover more ground. North ordered the yetis to lock all the windows and doors immediately before he too ventured off into the halls of Stanoff Clausen. Hopefully this way they would be able to find the troublesome spirit sooner rather than later.
Bunny bounded through endless halls. If it wasn't for his sharp senses he wouldn't have noticed the slippery patch of ice coating the walls and floor.
"Well I guess I get the joy of talkin' to the ankle bita first then. Lucky me," Bunny says bluntly continuing on carefully.
"Psst,"
"Jack is that you? Where are ya?"
"Psst, up here."
Bunny glanced up to find Jack hiding up in the rafters. His eyes were wild and huge, darting around the place as if searching for on coming danger.
"Get down here ya esky. What's the big idea huh? Why are ya avoiding Tooth? She's worried for ya is all. Come down here now."
To his utter surprise the frost boy complied. He floated down to stand in the shadows or a hallway that branched off the main one Bunny was currently standing in.
"Is Tooth near by?" Jack asked fearfully.
"I don't know. Tell me what's up with ya and I might help ya,"
For the first time Jack looked at Bunny and frowned. Jack didn't trust the rabbit. He would just laugh, but the alternate was, Jack shuddered, the Tooth Fairy. He hadn't meant for what happened to happen. It was out of his control, sort of. He knew she wouldn't see it that way. Bunny, North and even Sandy would never let him live this down. Still if there was a way for Bunny to protect him and maybe even get him out of the work shop he should probably take it.
"Come on Frostbite, haven't got all day and if ya don't hurry up I'll call Tooth over."
Okay now Jack really didn't have a choice. He could tell when Bunny was being serious.
"Well you see…um I was at the Tooth Palace right and-"
"Jack! There you are! Hey Too-"
North's mouth was suddenly frozen shut. His eyes went wide and stared at Jack in surprise before they narrowed. Jack grabbed hold of North's large arm and tugged him into the hallway out of sight.
"Please don't be so loud, she might hear and then…oh god I hate to think. Just shhh North please, I'm begging you here."
If Jack Frost was begging him then he better comply. North nodded and Bunny chipped away the ice with his boomerangs.
"Now vhat is going on Jack? Is not nice to freeze mouth like that. Is very cold,"
"You can't laugh at what I'm about to say okay."
"That depends mate on how funny this is going to be." Bunny says with a smirk.
"Well then I won't tell you." Jack says flipping his staff around.
"Ya will or I'm callin' for Tooth,"
"Okay fine whatever Kangaroo I will tell."
"Good and don't call me that again,"
Sighing, Jack began to take great interest in the ground as he began his tale again.
"So yeah I was at the Tooth Palace and I didn't mean for it to happen honestly but- oh hey Sandy."
Everyone turned to see the Sandman walking towards them with a giant question mark floating above his head. He smiled and waved at Jack who cautiously returned the gesture. He wasn't concentrating. Jack's eyes were fixed behind Sandy and the golden man couldn't help but glance over his shoulder too. What was going on? Why hadn't North and Bunny alerted him and Tooth that they had found Jack?
"Okay Tooth will be coming soon so start talking Jack. We need answer." North said gesturing for Sandy to join them.
"Okay. As I said for the third time now, I was at the Tooth Palace with BT. We were playing tips with some of the other fairies. Tooth came out to check on us before she had to go again. I decided then to show the girls some of the ice creatures I can make, right."
"Oh I see you were showin' off for the ladies were ya Snowflake," Bunny chuckled.
"Shut it Cottontail or I won't continue!"
"Bunny please. Jack continue with story." North says giving Bunny a warning glare to back down.
"Okay North. Well you see I made this ice monkey and we started to play with it. Except it got a bit out of control so I tried to catch it but when I did it exploded into my hands but I couldn't stop and crashed into this pillar and well…."
Jack opened his mouth and using a finger to pull back his bottom lip he revealed a small gap in his mouth where one of his pearl whites should have been but instead was laid out in the boy's palm. Bunny couldn't help it. He laughed and thankfully he wasn't the only one. Sandy was cracking up too even North was trying to suppress a giggle. Jack huffed in annoyance at his friends.
"You see if Tooth finds me she's cook me alive."
'Oh no mate she'll do worse than that."
Jack's face went pale even more so than usual.
"JACK?! Where are you? Oh come please come out sweet tooth."
The reaction was instant. Jack took off into the air only to be dragged back to the ground by a large hand that held his ankle. He spun around to face a cheeky looking North. The big man bent low so he could whisper into Jack's ear.
"You have to face fear yes? Tell truth and every thing will be okay. Tooth is friend and don't worry we vill protect you from her and fairies,"
"But-"
"No buts," North cupped his mouth with one hand while keeping a squirming Jack in place with the other, "Tooth! We have Jack and he has something to tell you."
In the next second the flustered tooth fairy was hovering right in front of Jack's face. His eyes refused to meet her violet ones. She had been so worry. Was it her fault? Had she done something to upset him? She had tried so hard to make Jack feel welcome. North gave the nervous teen a shove.
"Um I'm sorry Tooth for running away from you it's just…well. You see I created a snow monkey for your fairies but it got a bit crazy and when I finally caught it, the monkey exploded but I couldn't stop myself and I crashed into a pillar and, well, um…"
Jack showed Tooth his gap and the missing tooth. Tooth's eyes went as wide as the moon, her mouth hanging open. Barely a heart beat later her tiny fingers were in Jack's mouth pinning him to the wall.
"Toofff! Stop pleazzzz," Jack wailed.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe this. Those beautiful teeth, damaged. Have knocked any other ones lose? No good. Wait I should double check again, No I was right they're all good. Oh no! Was that tooth meant to come out?! Ahhh please, please don't tell me that was an adult tooth. Oh thank the moon it wasn't! Oh look there's another one coming through. It was going to come out soon anyway. I bet from all that sugary food you've been eating. Oh Jack you should-"
The other three were bent over laughing until their sides burned. For the rest of the afternoon Jack Frost and the Tooth Fairy did battle over Jack's mouth. Ultimately the Tooth Fairy won. This was the day Jack Frost learnt to be a lot more careful of his teeth unless he wanted to unleash Tooth which he never wanted to do again.
Yay! So what do you all think? Is it too short? I really can't tell. Anyway for those of you who read my other story Home Alone I think I will do a little sequel to that in here but as a really short story arc as opposed to another whole long story. Don't worry for those that haven't (and don't want to) read it, I will give a brief summary before I post it up. That will come later though. Next story going up well you will all just have to wait and see :P
