Pinky promises.(4)

Arriving there was about a two hour flight but well worth it if he was going to make his new friend happy by going in to accompany him.
He had promised himself that if he say someone alone he would try his best to accompany them. The feeling of loneliness is a horrid feeling, something he would never even wish upon his greatest enemy. He knew all too well that no one deserved it, and that if ever faced with it then the best cure was a person.
It didn't matter the person, as long as they were willing to stay with you for periods of time.

Landing wasn't hard at all, once he found a nice landing spot. Climbing off his staff, he stood and admired the view he saw. It was something he knew he could never see in the rest of the world. No scenery could compare to this, would never even have the chance to. It wasn't that hard to see that Jack actually enjoyed the look of spring, of course only in the Warren.
A reason why Jack never bought winter to the Warren. It was the eternal place of spring and he would never change it, not even a little. Another reason was because Aster would probably skin his him alive if he ever did, and who was Jack to risk no only his life but Bunnymund's sanctuary for a little prank.

Though in the past he thought of it to be an ultimate prank that he would save for last. But now was not the time to be thinking of pranks! Now was the time to be looking for Bunny.
"It couldn't be that hard right?"Jack spoke out loud to himself," I mean Kangaroo's are big enough to see, right?"

He chuckled at his own joke, and moved along the paths to find his friend. Looking around he could see the giant stone eggs, stirring and pouring colors into the rainbow lake.
That surprised him. He had always thought it was like that. Well now he had even more appreciation towards the place and its inhabitants. It must take days, maybe even weeks until they got that perfect pastel coloring.
And if it wasn't colored from the lake then it was delicately detailed and painted by Aster.

Passing drooping trees, filled with colorful flowers on each limb and flowers with a sweet fragrance that he knew most woman would die for to smell that good, he felt at peace. Now Jack new the reason behind Bunny always being so calm when Jack came to visit him. He would always only get a third of Aster's anger when he pulled petty pranks on the unsuspecting guardian whenever he was within the Warren, outside the Warren... well that was a completely different story.

Jack's thoughts were broken as he was faced with the four entrances. Maybe finding Aster would be harder than he thought. Nonetheless he continued to move, choosing to walk through the third entrance on the left, hoping that maybe he was lucky and got him through there.
So walking through the dark tunnel he hoped he was there and he wouldn't have to spend all his time searching for the Bunny.
It wasn't as if Jack could just go anywhere during anytime, he had a job to do as well. He couldn't go around making it snow when it shouldn't, or not letting it snow where it should be. The balance would be out of order and he has yet and hopefully will never face the consequences that might bring.
So rushing along the stone tiled tunnel, careful not to bump into anything he might see, he dashed for the exit of the tunnel heading straight for the light.

And lo and behold look who was there laying in the grass near the river of color on his side talking to his eggs.
Jack silently patted himself on his back for his great choice in choosing.

Staring more intently at the peaceful looking guardian he noticed something that made his lips curl into a sinister grin. Aster's back was turned and he was obviously unaware of Jack's presence, perfect time for his payback!

Silently and as quickly as he could he made his way over to the unsuspecting victim. Once directly behind Bunny, Jack loomed over him reading to jump and scare the living daylights out of the man.

With a final step he was read to jump, but it seemed luck was no longer on his side, as Jack was forced onto his back with a holler, eyes wide in surprise.
"Did I scare ya mate?" A laughing Bunnymund asked as he sat down on Jack's legs, immobilizing the blushing winter spirit who had his head turned away from said person.
Jack just pouted, clearly upset that his act of revenge was ruined. But how? Jack thought. He had everything planned out accordingly he was positive that it would be full proof, even if he had come up with it on the spot.
Letting his eyes wander back to Bunny he looked at him with clear defeat in his eyes," How'd you know I was there," he questioned, wanting to know what he had done to be caught," you didn't even move to look when I came in."

"Cause I knew you were here the whole time, since ya stepped foot in the place," Bunny responded, but he was only met with questioning eyes.
He let out a sigh. " It's your scent, it's way to strong for me not notice."

No words were spoken for a moment and as Bunny was about to ask if Jack was alright, the teen below him suddenly began letting out cheers of joy." So it means my plan was perfect! It was just that your nose knows too much, maybe I should get a masking next time?" Jack spoke, trying to think of new ways to cover up so maybe next time his plan would be utter perfection.

Silencing himself for a minute he looked up at Bunny he seemed to have a small smile on his face, and then noticed he was smiling back. Looking away he tried to sit, but found he could only slightly since Bunny was still on top of him. "Hey Bunny two questions," Jack said as he looked back once again to find Bunny's eyes still firmly on him, smile never getting any bigger or smaller.

"What's the question mate?"Bunny asked.

"Well first was wondering if you could get off of me," the question was met with a slightly blushing Aster who obliged and lifted himself away from the teen.
"And the second," Aster asked, still staring at Jack, as if searching for something.

"Can you tell me what I smell like?"Jack asked, complete seriousness in voice.

Well that was obliviously not the question the question Aster had been expecting, but he never knew what to expect when in the presence of the white haired boy.

"Well, I don't really know how to put it,"Aster said,wondering how to word everything." I guess yer' like a crisp smell, like when sheets are washed and left to dry in the sun, it's fresh and pleasant, but then the smell of the outside come in and the first thing that pops to mind is pine trees, and I don't know if it's because you spend a lot of time with North but ya always got this sweet smell of cookies hangin around ya, actually kind of pleasant."

Wow, that was more detailed that Jack had expected. He liked the answer.
It bought a weird feeling of joy to him.
Joy. And then he remembered. That was the exact reason he had come to see Bunny. To see what was wrong and find if he could bring some joy to the man, not let him sniff Jack and tell him how he smelled.

He looked to Aster and was met with more smiling, yet this one was different. It was filled with so much warmth and hope and so many other feelings that he knew he enjoyed.
It was a shock to say the least. A smile like this was directed in his path, and the giver was Aster, someone who he thought would be the last person to direct such a smile in his pathway.
He enjoyed it to say the least.


=============================================

Okay I'm sure some of you are thinking that once again Jack will not be allowed to ask his question, but don't worry that will be coming in the next chapter my dear readers. It will also be in Bunny's point of view somewhat, only for a while though. I haven't totally figured out the next chapter yet. The story just comes to me.

I would also like to tell you that this story might not get updated as much now that school is starting up once more, but I will try my best that is why I have tried to release two chapters in close time with each other so you at least at something to read. Well anyways, it's getting late and I gotta get up for school tomorrow...Why does spring break have to be over! Uggh, and I have testing as well. Well enough ranting I'm gonna let you all go now, so bye and see you next chapter.
