I DON'T OWN ROTG.

All the guardians had gathered at the North Pole to celebrate Christmas. It had always been a tradition for them to come together and exchange gifts. But this year was a very special year. It was Jack's first Christmas as a Guardian.

The usual loud spirt seemed subdued. The older Guardians were worried about him. They didn't understand how this wasn't just Jack's first Christmas as a Guardian, it was the first time he would celebrate Christmas at all.

Jack had his Christmas tradition of seeing how much of the world he could give a white Christmas to, but other then that, he never did anything more. People say Christmas is a time for family. Jack had no family. They say Christmas is a time of giving. Jack had no one to give to, and no one to give him something eather. The only Christmas he hadn't been on the Naughty list was his first, the night he met North. But he couldn't have received a present that night because there was never time for one to have been made for him, considering he had been born after North had left to start delivering toys.

However this year, Jack had a family. He had people to give to. And that was something of wonder to the boy.

The present giving started with Sandy. He gave everyone a small bag of dream sand, like he did every year.

After Sandy came Tooth, who gave everyone floss, tooth brushes, and toothpaste.

Bunny then gave his presents of eggs. Each had a special design made for the person he was giving it too. Sandy's egg had the most common dreams of children on them, painted on to look like the pictures were made with the golden sand. Tooth's was just covered in teeth, some having blood and gum on them, but mostly without the things that made Sophie scream. North's was covered in wrapped presents. Jack's was made to look like the frost patterns the spirt created himself.

Jack, in an act of true craftsmanship, made never-melting ice sculptures for them all. They were replicas of the guardian at their finest hour. Sandy with his whips, Tooth with her teeth, Bunny with his boomerangs, and North with his swords. Everyone was impressed.

North came last, as was tradition. Sandy received a sleeping cap. Tooth got a new bag to carry teeth in. Bunny got a new basket.

Jack wasn't expecting anything from North, assuming he was still on the Naughty list. So he was surprised when when North came out with a present. A very old, but familiar looking present.

"I see you remember this," North said to Jack. The others watched on in confusion as Jack slowly, hesitantly took the present from North's hands.

"It's the same one?" Jack questioned.

"Of course," North answered. "I never throw away a perfectly good gift."

"What's going on here, mates?" Bunny asked, unable to wait any longer.

North then proceeded to tell the others about that Christmas night when Jack told him of the boy that died on Christmas eve, and how he stopped North from causing the family pain from seeing a Christmas gift ment for the dead boy.

"But why are you giving Jack this present?" Tooth asked.

"Because, the boy that drowned was Jack when he was human. I feel it is only right to give Jack that present."

Jack carefully opened the aged box to see the present inside. Gently, the winter spirt pulled out an old fashioned teddy bear. It had black buttons for eyes, and a threaded on smile. He remembered how he had given Pippa his old one for her birthday the year before he died, and how he had wished for another one, even though he was 17 years old. Now, at 317 years old, Jack found himself holding the teddy bear close.

"Thank you."

North laughed, happy that Christmas was finally done for this year. But there was on more present to give.

A birthday present.

North reached into his coat pocket and took out the present. "Jack." was the only warning he gave before throwing the gift at Jack. Jack caught it with one hand, while still holding the bear close with the other. He looked at what he caught, and found one of North's snowglobes. He looked up to see all of the guardians smiling at him.

"Welcome to the family."

And Jack knew, he would never be alone or ignored anymore.

Review please.
