《Believe》A fun night turned wrong
Advertisement
Jamie's awesome toy robot stood watch on his bedside table. It also doubled as his nightlight. As he slept, his tongue rested in the new gap between his teeth.
Tooth fluttered over Jamie's bed with s soft look on her face. Jack stood on one side, and Claire on the other.
"Left central incisor, knocked out in a freak sledding accident." Tooth raised her eyes to met Jack's. "I wonder how that could have happened, Jack?"
Claire glared at Jack. "Did this happened after I left?" She said to him in a angry hushing voice.
Jack laughed, looking at the picture Jamie had drawn and hung on his wall. The one where he was on his sled, midair, pelting his friends with snowballs.
Jack blushed. "Kids, huh?" Claire slapped him upside the head. "Ow!" he said glaring at Claire.
Tooth smiled at the peacefully dreaming boy. "This was always the part I like the most-seeing the kids." She paused before adding. "Why did I ever stop doing this?" It was clear how much Tooth loved her job.
"It's a little different up close, huh?" Jack remarked.
Tooth nodded. "Thanks for being here. Jack, I wish I had known about your memory. I could've helped you."
"Yeah, well, look, let's just get you taken care of." Jack reassured her.
"Then we go after Pitch." Claire added.
A sudden noise outside their attention. They turned to the window.
"Here you are!" North was hauling a large sack over his shoulder. The windowsill groaned and for a second it seemed like he wouldn't be able to squeeze through. But he did. Sandy floated in after him. "What gives, slowpokes?" he asked.
"SHHHH," Tooth whispered a warning seeing as Jamie was still asleep.

"How you feeling, Toothy?" North inquired softly.
"Believed in." was her happy answer.
"Ha-ha!" North gave a little chuckle. "That's what I wanted to hear."
"Oh, I see how it is..." Bunny arrived through a rabbit hole. "All working together to make sure me and Sheila gets last place."
Jack raised his bulging bag of teeth. "You think I need help to beat a bunny and a girl?. Check it out you two."
"You call that a bag of choppers?" Bunny revealed his and Claire's bag and it was bigger. "Now that's a bag of choppers."
"Gentlemen! Gentlemen!" North interrupted. "This is about Tooth. It's not a competition!. But if it was-" he flopped his bag off his shoulder and it proved to be the largest of all. "- I win. YEEEEEHAAAAAAW!" North danced around Jamie's room in a Russian jig.
A bright beam of light appeared right on him. They all froze.
"Oh no." He said.
"Santa Claus?" Jamie asked, rubbing his eyes. He slowly peered around the room. Directing the light at each individual as he said their names. Claire hid behind Bunny, not wanting to get caught. "The Easter Bunny?, Sandman?, The Tooth Fairy?" Jamie got excited. "I knew you'd come!"
"Surprise!" Tooth said pretending this was all normal. "We came"
"He can see us?" Jack asked.
Jamie continued to scan the room completely amazed. He looked at everyone, but only saw an empty space between North and Tooth where Jack was standing. Claire looked at Jack with a worried face.
"Most of us." Bunny replied
"Shhh," Tooth warned. "You guys, he's still awake."
"Sandy, knock him out." Bunny suggested. Sandy made a fist and beat it against his other palm. "With the dreamsand, ya gumbles." Bunny shook his head.

With that, they all heard a low growl as Jamie's dog woke up and stood staring at Bunny. Baring it's teeth and growling.
"No." Jamie told her. "Stop!. That's the Easter Bunny!. What are you doing, Abbey?, Down!"
"All right." Bunny instructed. "Nobody panic."
Jack thought it was hilarious. "But that's a greyhound. Do you know what greyhounds do to rabbits?"
"I think it's a pretty safe bet, he's never met a rabbit like." Bunny replied.
"The dog is a She." Claire whispered to Bunny.
Sandy made a baseball out of dreamsand as Jack rolled his eyes at Bunny. He noticed an alarm clock on the bedside table.
Bunnymund continued. "Six foot one, nerves of steel, master of Tai Chi, and the ancient art of-" Jack could not help himself. he leaned over and press a button on the clock with his staff.
RINNGG!
"Crikey!" Bunny exclaimed as the dog leaped after. He hopped around the room, the greyhound nipping at his tail.
"Stop!, Sit!" Jamie commanded. "Down, girl, down!" The dog continued to chase Bunny over the bed and up the walls as Tooth struggled to turn off the alarm clock.
"Sandy!" cried North, urging him to throw the ball at the dog and end this madness. But before Sandy could throw it, the dog knocked into him. The dreamsand baseball went flying.
Claire shook her head at the chaos. "This is not good." She said covering her face with her hands.
North ducked, when the dreamsand sailed toward him, causing the ball to smack Claire in the face. The sleepy dust knocked her out cold.
When Claire woke up, she found herself in Bunny's arms. she looked to find them in the sleigh.
Claire looked at everyone who was staring at her with said frowns and they were crying. Tooth was holding onto Jack while was crying into her shoulder. North was staring ahead, but she could see tears in his eyes. She looked at Bunny to see him holding his back. She looked for Sandy, but did not see him.
Feeling something was wrong. Claire sat up straight, but did moved out of Bunny's arms. "Guys" She asked them, they looked at her, their pained faces. "Where's Sandy?" They looked away from her. Something was wrong. "Guys, where Sandy!?" She yelled at them in a panicked voice.
She looked at Bunny, and Bunny looked at her with wet eyes. "Sheila, Pitch came and fought Jack and Sandy, while the rest of us were knocked out by the dreamsand, Pitch used a dirty trick and......" He could not work his voice. But as he looked at Claire as her eyes were slowly becoming bigger by the second. She stood up quickly.
"No!, N0!. That can't be!. That can't be true!. Sandy, he can't be, He can't be!." Claire fell to her knees and she began to cry her heart. Bunny got up as the same time as Jack. Bunny gently took Claire in his arms and held her waist with one arm while holding her head against his shoulder, while he cried into her shoulder. Jack went behind Claire and hugged her back while crying into it. North and Tooth joined them in the hug, crying their eyes out. Claire's scream could be heard throughout the entire night sky.
