In all honesty Jack was in, no since, ashamed of the fact he had basically died.

If anything he was proud that he was willing to sacrifice himself for his sister. It just felt personal, that's all. And very dark, no fun in explaining that. Not really something one could discuss during dinner. Besides, he wouldn't be surprised if every spirit became such by dying. (After all they were called spirits for a reason... Right?) It would probably bring up bad memories, that or they just wouldn't care.

Plus, they never mentioned it. So, why bring it up?

So when North activated the northern lights came blundering in his own workshop into the globe room saying that soon it was going to be 'chosen's day'. He was also little lost when they (North, Tooth, Sandy, and Bunny) decided that they would also show the kids that helped saved them and the other children around the world... show them what? "Wait... chosen Day? What's that?"

North smiled and put his left arm around Jacks shoulder and said in a thick Russian accent making most his W's sound like V's and his S's sound like Z's. "vhy, Jack. It iz the day that comes every zo often that ve see each other'z memory'z of vhen ve firzt became spirits! Like, valking in another's shoe'z, no?"

Jack inwardly flinched at the thought of the kids possibly being scared for life by the memories of them dying. "so... are you sure the kids will be... OK with this?"

Sandy nodded giving him two thumbs up with a picture of a happy face made in golden sand above his head.

Bunny rolled his eyes in a thick Australian accent replied "Not like they would see any gore or anything, they'll be fine snowflake. There not going to see anything. probably seen' worse on the internet any 'ways."

Jack looked around at the other Guardians to see if there was a remote chance of any of them disagreeing. When no one protested he slightly relaxed. They are Guardians of childhood after all (much longer than he was anyways, he just started). If they said it was okay then he would try to trust their judgment.

But still...

He rethought the memories of his... rebirth? Death? Either ways he really didn't want Jamey to see that, or any of the kids. Or anyone for that matter. "Umm, can they skip mine? Cause' it's-"

"Jack, don't be ridicules!" Tooth flew over "such memories are nothing to be ashamed of."

"Besides, your memories are the only new an' exciting thing going on, really, we've seen each others hundreds of times by now." Bunny added.

Sandy nodded and above his head demonstrated a picture of the four on of them in complete boredom watching the memories and the miniature sandy sleeping away on a large (and rather comfy looking) couch.

Jack opened his mouth to protest but closed it. How- how can they be so calm about this?! No matter how nicely you put it they died. Had everything taken away from them, had to become something entirely new, had every fiber of their being destroyed then reformed. He wouldn't change becoming a spirit for the world, he just wish that his sister didn't have to see... him drowning. Or at least had the chance to say good bye... And although he doesn't mind his physical age of fourteen...

He wanted to grow up, too.

But before he could go further into his case, while he was lost in thought North's portal was activated and brought them to Tooth's palace.

And the children where already waiting.
