Home Sweet Home.

Bunnymund was in an extremely bad mood.

They had defeated Pitch the week before, and Bunnymund had to start making preparations for next Easter, like finding the best design for the eggs. Unfortunately for him, North decided that it was an appropriate time to call a meeting.

Now, the Pooka had been in the Workshop for 2 hours but the meeting hadn't started yet. Why?

Because Jack Frost had yet to show up.

It would be another 3 hours until the 'show pony' would arrive and the meeting was another hour and a half. And then North had the decency to start the meeting with another round of Christmas-is-better-than-Easter.

After Tooth got them to shut up, the meeting began, but Aster's mind was on Jack's strange behaviour. The young spirit was next to him so he easily dragged attention from the Pooka towards him. The boy kept shifting around in his seat as if he just couldn't get comfortable. There were bags under his icy eyes. When it was his turn to explain his job, he walked around slower. He WALKED. They had had a meeting after defeating Pitch and Jack was flying all over the joint then.

Sandy was last to explain his progress as it took time to decipher the image. During that time, Jack put his head on the table and closed his eyes. They opened a moment later and he sat up again. He looked annoyed.

After the meeting, everyone except for Bunnymund and Jack left to continue their jobs.

Jack was about to leave when the Easter Bunny called him.

"Oi, Frostbite. Somethin' wrong?"

Jack smiled. "What makes you think something happened? I'm just eager to start another snowball fight with Jamie."

Aster gave him a disapproving look at the lie. "Ya kept fidgeting, never provoked me once, never got popcorn when me and North started ta argue and ya haven't flown since ya got 'ere. Don't lie."

Jack rolled his eyes at the evidence. "Alright. I'm just tired. I need to get back to my lake to get some sleep."

A thoughtful expression adorned the older Guardian's face. He then tapped the ground twice and a tunnel appeared in the ground. He then grabbed Jack and chucked him down.

They arrived by Jack's lake. "Alright, ya Gumby. Where's yar home?"

In response, Jack flew to the tree closest to the small lake. "Here. Thanks for the ride, but now I need some shut eyyyyyy...!" When Bunnymund saw Jack plant himself on the tree, he pulled him down and summoned another tunnel, this one leading to the Warren.

"What was that for!?" Jack exclaimed after jumping out of the tunnel. "I'm tired! Let me go home and sleep!"

"What home, Frost? A tree next to the lake from which ya were immortalised doesn't count!" He began to walk to the Burrow in which the rooms of the Warren were located.

Jack looked down. He whispered so quietly that Bunny thanked his superior hearing. "I died there. It's all I knew."

Bunny turned to look at his frosty friend. When Jack looked up at him, he signalled the younger to follow him.

They walked through the hallway in silence. They came to two doors. One was marked ' Bunnymund' the other had no name on it. Aster opened the door with no name on it ushered Jack in. It was a simple room, with a desk and chair, a few shelves with books and instead of a bed, there was a nest.

"This is now yours. Feel free ta decorate it as ya please. You hafta sleep in 'ere from now onwards. Understood?"

For a moment, the Pooka thought that maybe Jack hadn't been listening. Suddenly, he had the winter spirit attached to his waist.

"Thank you." He whispered.

Bunny returned the hug and whispered, "Anythin' fur ma kit."
