If anyone had been antsy in the history of ever, it was Jack Frost, more than anyone else ever had been. His clothes felt too tight, he was itching, and pacing was not good enough to get his energy out of his system. No amount of snowball fights would do very much for him, even if it was with Jamie and the others. Flying usually was the best solution for instances such as this, but he had tried that already. It was missing something, obviously, and Jack had almost too hard of time figuring out what. On any other day, it was fine that it was just he and the wind out for a flight, but not today. He needed some… foreign company.

And it just so happened that he was zooming around Indonesia, the place where Tooth Palace was located, in an effort to try and find something to do.

The winter spirit was thrilled to know that someone he could goof off with was so close by, though he hoped that she wasn't too busy with work, as usual. (What was it with kids and their teeth constantly falling out, anyway?) It was worth a shot, either outcome, for he was glad that he could use his bout of ADHD as an excuse to see his favorite fairy again. He zoomed its way.

Tooth Palace was much more impressive than the last time Jack visited it; back then it had been under attack and was deteriorating due to Tooth's lack of belief. But now, Jack was able to see it in all it's splendor, with gleaming golden spires, intricate, multicolored mosaics, and the little zooming flecks of iridescent green as they flitted between a large center spire, then to various spires at which the teeth were deposited, and then to the top of the central spire again to collect currency. In said central spire was the Tooth Fairy, by far the largest and most beautiful of the hummingbird humanoids, green, indigo, and gold feathers gleaming brilliantly as she moved about in more or less the same place, giving her fairies various instructions and taking the teeth from some of them to inspect.

She was examining a bicuspid when Jack snuck up behind her and cleared his throat. She flittered about three feet higher in the air in surprise, barely concealing a squeak. She spun around, only to be faced with a mischievous spirit of winter (the one she coincidentally had a crush on) cracking a smile, hiding laughter in his icy blue irises.

"Hey, Tooth." Jack said as casually as possible. Tooth, in response, put a hand to her chest, much like an old woman would after a scare such as the one she had just received.

"Jack, don't scare me like that." Tooth laughed slightly; she felt a bit ridiculous to have reacted like that. He, however, didn't seem to care and merely flashed his crystalline teeth at her in a smile.

"So, what's up?" she asked, hoping it wasn't something serious, like, say, he had just created the mother of all blizzards and it was headed her way.

He shrugged and began to swing his staff all over the place, pacing back and forth, which struck Tooth as odd. "Eh, I was just in the area, and I wanted to hang out with someone." He looked at the fairy expectantly. "You wanna go for a flight or something?"

Tooth was taken aback by this. Not to say she wasn't pleased or anything, but she had always viewed Jack as a creature of solitude, and it was of her that she assumed so. The last thing she had expected was for him to ask her to just hang out with him, instead of, say, Jamie. Then again, he wasn't in Indonesia. She really wanted to go, too. But duty called first, naturally.

"I… I dunno, Jack. I still have work I need to do and-" she began apologetically, but Jack cut her off.

"Work, shmerk." he huffed. "You've been working your feathers off for the last, what, 440 plus years? Come on, you should get out once and a while. And, no, the whole Pitch incident is not considered a break." he then stated sternly.

"I wasn't going to say it was," said she, though she was smiling regardless.

She thought it over. She had been a bit frazzled lately, more than usual; perhaps work really was getting to her. And the idea of just a free flight sounded pretty refreshing, not to mention that her fairies were perfectly capable of managing the palace in her absence. Plus, Jack seemed pretty antsy at the moment and it seemed to her that he was in need of some down time as well.

"Well, okay." she finally complied. Jack executed a mid-air back-flip at her response, which made her flutter away a few inches.

"Sweet!" the winter spirit whooped and grabbed her small wrist, just a bit violently, making Tooth jump again in surprise. "Come on, let's go!"

"Wha- now?!" she protested, letting herself get dragged out a few feet from her original position before halting them both.

"Yes, now. When else? You have wings, you can fly." His grin was wild, yet innocent, childlike, full of wonder and excitement. Tooth had always forgotten that that he was technically a kid, due to the demeanor that he always kept up, but when he looked at her as he was looking at her now, the fact that he was a child at heart was really driven home. And she couldn't help but to be caught up in it. His grin was returned.

This time, he didn't have to drag her anywhere, yet his hand still remained on her delicate wrist as the two flyers took off in a whirl to the sky, into the clouds.

Tooth found herself laughing as both she and the winter spirit worked off their excess energy, soon executing a game of tag (started by the Guardian of Fun, unsurprisingly.) and chasing each other through the endless world of the sky above.

Tooth flew, but she had never really flown until now. It felt wonderful.

Why hello there.

So I love Rise of the Guardians pretty much, and I decided to contribute to it, due to all the feels it gave me, by writing some ever-wonderful cruddy fanfiction. Yay for cruddy fanfiction.

This is just going to be a series of drabbles before and after the movie, with some of them during it, if I'm feeling adventurous (in no particular order, of course). I hope people like it!

Yes, sky tag. I would love to play sky tag. That would be the coolest thing ever.

And if you have any prompts or suggestions or something, please tell me via review or PM, as I'm not terribly good with ideas. Thank you!
