Summary: Jack finds himself very much in love with a certain Easter Bunny, but he feels as if he – a mere human – wouldn't be good enough for the Pooka. How are the odds that Aster finds himself in the same predicament. Unbeknownst to each other, they both wish on a star. The Wishing Star feels obliged to help the two Guardians out. The only question now is; How will the five Guardians deal with having a hyperactive, snow-controlling Pooka hopping around...?

Sorry for the amount of OCs, but I need the Wishing Star in this and a tea party with only her and Tooth would be kind of lame so I had to invite some more spirits for the fun of it. Though they probably won't get any more screen-time after that. Aside from, you know, the wishing-star that's supposed to solve our little BunnyFrost-problem. Oh, and I took my liberty with the last names of the kids (in this, teens because it's set five years after the movie).

Wishing on a Star

The Snowy White Pooka

Prologue: Tea Party at the Wishing Star's

Tooth was delighted.

It had been years, certainly, since he had last spend some quality-time with her female friends. Oh, of course she loved her mini fairies beyond everything and she valued the other guardians like her own family. But it was something else entirely to just sit down with some level-headed ladies instead of listening to the playful banter/suppressed sexual tension between Bunny and Jack, the ever-lasting quarreling if Christmas was better than Easter between North and Bunny and the overall situation that always arose when the four boys were gathered.

Sighing slightly, she ran a hand through her feathers. She completely understood why Bunny liked Jack. The boy had gorgeous teeth! Like freshly fallen snow, so beautiful... Sometimes she felt bad for nearly never looking beyond the teeth. But then again, she was the Tooth Fairy, after all. Jack, on the other hand... She was still wondering about where his feelings came from. Not that she couldn't relate to why someone would like Bunny. The Easter Bunny was quite impressive. But Bunny and Jack had never really gotten along, not truly after Jack had joined the Guardians and even less so before. And the Winter Spirit was still very reluctant to open up to the other Guardians, even after five years of being part of their family.

And that was where it got complicated. They were a family. Somehow. But the suppressed/ignored feelings between Bunny and Jack were making everything a bit different. The tension grew more and more with every passing month. Of course, all of them were quite busy. It had taken months alone to rebuilt all the damaged parts of the Tooth Palace, the Warren and North's Workshop. After that, they had all been busy getting back into the field, catching up on work and bringing all lights back. Because even after Pitch had been defeated, many lights had still been dimmed. And Jack was keeping himself the busiest, trying to gain more believers and bring as much joy to the children as possible. The thought of how dedicated Jack was brought a smile to Tooth's face. They were all proud of their young friend and his accomplishments.

"Toothy! Now, whose teeth are you thinking of to smile like that?", teased a soft, amused voice.

The Tooth Fairy blinked a couple of times, taking in her surroundings. It was good that she knew her ways around, because it seemed her wings had carried her to her destination without her paying any attention whatsoever. She was in a garden, beautiful with hedges of different-colored roses. In the middle of the garden stood a round, old-fashioned table with five chairs around it. Three of said chairs were already occupied by minor spirits, two spirits of countries and their deepest seated beliefs and one spirit of mischief rivalling even Jack Frost. Said mischievous one, an auburn-haired girl in her late twenties, wearing a black witch-dress with a fitting hat and little pumpkin-jewelry, had been the one to address Tooth. Eve Hallows, the Spirit of Halloween and Mischief. The other two were engaged in a heated discussion with each other, one of them was a tall, blonde, well-tanned surfer girl with a cheeky grin, wearing a blue top and a red-white-striped mini-skirt, a young eagle sitting on the backrest of her chair, his beak combing through her hair. The other however was dressed in a traditional dirndl in black and red, golden embroidery lining the rim. She tried to gesture widely, but the mug of beer in one hand made that quite complicated. Oh, Tooth got along with many countries' spirits, but the spirits of the USA and Germany were her two favorites.

"Eve! Unity! Independence! I haven't seen you for so long!", gasped the fairy delighted. "How long has it been that we've last been together...?"

"2001", replied the blonde American darkly. "Thank you for your support back then..."

"That's what friends are for, Schatzi", grinned the brunette female with a light German accent. "Say, Zähnchen, how are things going with your dear Guardians?"

"Before I start talking, where is the host?", smiled Tooth amused.

"Hope is busy with her lover boy", replied the spirit of Halloween and wiggled her eyebrows.

Independence huffed slightly at that, crossing her arms as she leaned back against her backrest. Her eagle yelped in protest at that and jumped over to German's chair, head-butting the other eagle. The brunette smirked and drank from her beer, petting her own eagle absentmindedly before turning her head toward the small house at the end of the garden.

"Hooope!", exclaimed Unity in a surprisingly booming voice. "Tooth is here! Hurry up!"

Tooth smiled slightly and sat down between Halloween and Germany. The brunette offered her a pretzel, one eyebrow raised in question. Laughing at that, Tooth shook her head no.

"I'm not very fond of those", chuckled the fairy.

"I have some pumpkin-pie I could offer you?", grinned Eve from Tooth's other side.

"Oh, love, stop it, we have guests!", giggled another voice, getting their attention.

A silver-haired woman with sparkling golden eyes and pale skin, wearing a white dress, exited the house, trying to push an affectionate tall man in a toga off. Though the man seemed very keen on continuing his kissing, one arm wrapped around her waist, the other holding onto a bow.

"Valentine? What are you doing here?", asked the Tooth Fairy surprised.

"That's what happens when you only stick around your precious guardians for too long. You miss all the fun", replied Eve with a shrug, playing with her pumpkin-ring. "Valentine and Hope are dating. Isn't that sickeningly sweet? Love and Hope, together."

"You know, you would think different about that if you wouldn't be all about fun and tricks!", chided Germany, taking another sip from her beer. "Right, Independence?"

"Whatever you say, dear", nodded the blonde surfer Barbie with a roll of her eyes. "Valentine! Get your hands off her! Tonight is girls-night! Get lost or I'll chase your sorry ass off!"

"Well, my love, I suppose it is time to take my leave", grunted the spirit of Love with a glare before pecking Hope's lips a last time. "I'll return with the moon. Have fun."

With that, the be-winged man took off. Tooth grinned slightly. She still remembered when she had first met him. It had been a shock. To think of the chubby lille baby humans liked to portrait him, even though he looked nothing less than a Greek god.

"I'm so glad you could make it, Toothy! We haven't seen you in years! Blimey, I was so worried when Pitch rose!", gasped the silver-haired female and threw herself at Tooth, hugging the life out of the fairy. "I've heard so much about that little winter spirit of yours! You have to tell us everything! How is he behaving? Is he a good guardian? Does he get along with everyone?"

"Let her breath so she can answer, Hope", snorted America and rolled her eyes.

"Oh. Right. Sorry", mumbled the spirit of Wishing Stars and blushed brightly before sitting down.

Tooth chuckled slightly. That was what she had missed. Their affectionate ways. Oh, North was always good for a bone-crushing hug, but the guardians haven't seen all that much from each other in the past years either. Much to do. So very, very much. She took a slow look around, staring at the faces of her five best non-guardian friends. Indepence was stealing a pretzel from Unity, who was staring at Tooth with eagerness in her eyes. Eve Hallows on the other hand looked as if she was pouting while Hope was adjusting the little star-shaped pins in her hair.

"Why does he get to be the guardian of Fun? What does a winter spirit know about fun?", huffed Eve annoyed. "I'm the spirit of Halloween! Is there anything more fun than that? Really? I give children a chill, a fun-time and candy! What do I get? Manny doesn't even look at me twice! But that snow-brat gets to become a guardian? How is that any fair?"

"Eve? Shut up", grunted the spirit of the USA annoyed. "Halloween is not all that popular around the world. Sure, sure, my people practically worship you, but you don't reach that many places. Snow on the other hand, that gets to every kid."

Eve huffed indignifed and kept glaring, making the other females laugh. Unity was the first to turn her attention back to Tooth, chewing on another pretzel.

"Well? Spill it. What's he like? I mean, his name is Jack and he's full of fun! I have the suspicion he's Eve's brother. Like those stupid Jack-O'Lanterns, right? Could it be?", grinned Germany.

"I wouldn't know about that", laughed the fairy amused. "But he's a good kid. He's very dedicated to his new work as a guardian. Well, new... Five years now. Time passes so fast... We're all still adjusting after what Pitch had done to the children of the world. It was hard work, but now that we got most lights flickering like before and gaining even more believers thanks to Jack, I could finally take the time to visit you again. It's actually truly only thanks to Jack. He encouraged me to teach Baby Tooth to be my second-in-command so the fairies have someone to turn to for guidance and orders if I may not be there. And since Pitch's defeat, we guardians have agreed to meet at least once a month to check on each other and make sure everything is going fine..."

"And is everything going fine?", wanted Independence to know.

"Well... Yes, yes", nodded Tooth slowly and sipped on the tea Hope served her. "I mean, I guess so... It's just that during those meetings, there is this thing... between Bunny and Jack. And I'm pretty sure that it means something, but neither of them is ready to admit it and all they do is quarrel and chase each other through the workshop the whole time. I'm not sure what to do..."

"Now, don't let Valentine hear that", snickered the spirit of the USA. "He doesn't like it when others meddle with his realm. You should keep your nose out of the love-life of others."

"Oh yes, you really should", agreed Unity with a harsh nod and a slight blush. "You only manage to confuse everyone even more! You should stick with teeth, not with the heart!"

The other four women laughed as Germany glared ath the fairy heatedly. Independence patted her back reassuringly and turned one raised eyebrow on Tooth.

"Besides, isn't he like... a human boy? Or was a human boy? What exactly is his deal anyway?"

"He... was a human boy", shrugged Tooth. "But he doesn't like talking about it. I'm not even sure if he really looked at his memories from his past. All he told us was that he had died for his sister and then Manny had turned him into a spirit."

"So he's closed-off?", noted Unity curiously.

"Three hundred years, Unity", whispered Tooth, guilt and sadness filling her eyes and voice. "We've left him hanging for three hundred years. No one expected him to fall into our arms and accept us right away. It's hard work, still. But he attends every meeting and I think he is getting more... comfortable with being around us. Being heard, seen and touched is all still new to him, he easily shies away when there are too many people in the room or when it's getting too loud or the hugging lasts too long, what it always does with North. And it... hurts when Jack shies away from us. But... we're the only ones to be blamed for that, you know...?"

"So the lad doesn't trust you properly yet, what's the big deal?", huffed Eve and rolled her eyes. "It's not like we don't have the time. We're immortals, Toothy. Just stay patient."

"I know, I know", sighed Tooth and took a cookie to nibble on. "I just... want him to be happy. I'm feeling bad for him... Three hundred years, Eve! Three-"

"Yes, yes, we understood you", sighed the spirit of Halloween, adjusting her witch-hat. "That only means you'll have to be more patient with the brat."

"And what is it you said about him and Häschen?", inquiered Unity. "I mean, I know Bunny. He's not the affectionate kind of rabbit. What makes you think he likes the boy?"

"The way he looks at Jack when Jack's not looking", shrugged Tooth helplessly. "There's is a certain... understanding and sadness in his eyes. You know how five years ago, children stopped believing in him, walking right through him... I guess, out of all of us, he understands best what Jack had been going through for three hundred years. I think that brought him a lot of respect for the boy. But... what with Jack's constant teasing and pranking, Bunny keeps his feelings at bay. And I think the teasing and pranking are Jack's way of denying his own feelings. He hadn't been part of a family for so long, I think he may be afraid we would reject him for his feelings so he acts like he does to cover them up, you know? If only there was a way I could help without spelling it out for them, because I don't think they would appreciate that..."

Tooth heaved a sigh. She really wanted to help them, but she doubted they really noticed their own feelings yet. Or figured out what exactly they meant. So there was nothing she could do.

"Now, stop it with that sad face of yours!", chided Unity. "Let's talk about something... nice, yes? It's so rare for all of us to gather together like that! Let's enjoy the time while it lasts, yes?"

Though while her friends fell into a light banter and small talk, Hope drifted off with her thoughts. She may not know Jack Frost personally, but she had heard his pleas over every single one of her falling stars, pleas for love to be fulfilled. Though meddling with the heart was one thing she couldn't do. Not just because she didn't want to offend her boyfriend, but rather because she couldn't just go to Bunny and force him to feel something he may not feel. What Jack was asking of the wishing stars was too much. He pleaded for love and acceptance, for his feelings to be right. There was nothing she could do to fulfill those wishes. If only he would wish for something, something she actually could make come true, she would be more than willing to help. He had saved their precious believers, after all. And he had done something the spirit of Wishes had wished for herself for some time now. He had managed to unite the guardians in a way they had not been before. He had made them a family, shown them how important it was to have fun together instead of only meeting if danger arose. It was the least she could do, to help him. She just needed to find a way how to do it. Chewing on her bottom lip, she stared into her cup of tea. If there would be a way to encourage Jack into confessing his feelings, then he would finally get to see that his fellow guardians loved and cherished him just the way he was and that they would not reject him. It pained Hope to see a child – even if said child was a three-hundred years old spirit – so insecure and still afraid. Tooth was right, five years of being a guardian had not changed much of his mentality.

It was decided. She would personally see to this and help Jack getting what he wanted. Somehow.

Author's note: I'm not supposed to start a new long story, I'm not-Oh, who am I kidding? I simply HAVE to do this. I love Pooka!Jack and I couldn't just write a mere oneshot about that.

Next chapter and Hope will finally get a fulfill-able wish from Jackie and I'll get to show what he's thinking about being a guardian and about a certain kangaroo... ;)

Oh, right. Little translation for what Unity said;
Zähnchen (what she called Tooth) = Toothy, Schatzi (what she called Independence) = Darling (what she called Bunny) Häschen = Bunny
