Getting them to Believe (Request)

North was working in his workshop when Phil the yeti came in, urging North to follow him. The two walked through the workshop, avoiding small elves running at their feet and the yeti’s that were building the toys.

“What is the matter?” North said. Phil just motions to the globe as the two approached it. North looked at up at the globe and noticed that the number of lights that were on the globe looked less than the number that had been there just yesterday. North was confused. “I think it’s time to call the guardians.” he said and sent his aurora borealis through the sks of the world.

Sandman was putting the children of Greece to sleep when he saw the lights dancing across the sky. Sending out some last minute reams, he formed a motorcycle with his dream sand and set off to North’s workshop.

Tooth was in her palace, per usual, giving her fairies instructions. She was so caught up in little Sally’s first canine that it took a swarm of fairies to get her attention and show her the lights. When she saw them, she zoomed off, a pack of fairies following her.

Jack had been flying over Quebec Canada when the lights flew over him. He quickly caught on and asked the wind to start flying him to North’s place. The wind was quick to change his direction, and soon, Jack was soaring north.

Bunny was in his warren, relaxing and watching the clouds, luckily, when the lights flew over. It took him a moment to realize that North was calling a meeting. When he did, he opened a hole and started hopping through the tunnels. He wasn’t looking forward to having to hop through the snow.

At North’s, once everyone had arrived, North finally started his speech.

“I have disturbing news for you all. The number of children believing has been decreasing.” North told everyone, pacing in front of the globe.

“Is it Pitch?” Jack asked, holding his staff a little bit tighter. North shook his head.

“No, no, Pitch hasn’t shown himself since the last time we all saw him. No, I think this is a natural occurrence.” North explained, crossing his arms and leaning against the control panel. he heard Bunny laugh and looked up at him.

“Hah. As natural as all the technology that was taken over today’s generation anyways.” he said bitterly. Tooth couldn’t help but nod in agreement. Everyone grew silent after that. THinking of what they should do.

“Well, obviously we need to get the kids to start believing again.” Jack said. North nodded, but still looked sullen.

“But how do we do that?” he wondered. The guardians fell back into deep thought. Minutes passed and everything was still silent. Jack thought about how they got everyone to believe in them before. That’s when it hit him.

“I’ve got it! Just think for a minute. How long had it been since you all have been out in the world, playing with children? Tooth, you had admitted last time that you hadn’t even been in the field for four hundred years!” Jack explained.

“Give or take.” Tooth agreed with him. Jack smirked.

“Now that things have slowed down a bit, maybe we should go out into the world and visit the children!” Jack exclaimed his idea. Everyone mulled this over. It had been so many years since they had gone out to actually visit and play with the children of the world. It’d also be a chance for the slightly old generations of kids to believe again.

“That’s not a bad idea.” Bunny agreed. Sandy gave two thumbs up, nodding his head. Tooth giggled, the excitement getting to her. They all looked at North, waiting for his input. He pondered this for a moment, more, before a huge smile spread across his face.

“Let’s do it!” he agreed, fist pumping the air.

Everyone cheered and started walking to the sleigh launch. Then, Bunny got an idea.

“Wait a minute. Won’t we be able to cover more ground if we split up?” he thought. Everyone thought about this for a moment, then agreed.

“Alright, so, Tooth, you take Europe and Antarctica, Jack, you take the America’s, Sandy, Australia, and Bunny, Africa. I’ll take Asia. Now let’s move out!” North shouted. Everyone nodded and set off in their own directions.

Over the course of a couple of days, the guardians played and helped the children of the world. The children that believed helped their friends to believe, and soon, there were more children believing than ever recorded before in history.

Once North arrived back at the pole, he observed the globe and saw all the new lights glowing. He felt proud and better than ever.
