"Really?" Pitch gathered himself and smirked. "Then what are they doing here?" Numerous Nightmares emerged from the woods effectively surrounding the pond. It should have been a terrifying, but the group was not scared.

"They're not our nightmares. We're not afraid" Claire declared still looking at Pitch. "But Pitch on the other hand, still is afraid."

Understanding flashed on Pitch's features and his eyes grew huge with terror. Slowly, the Nightmares moved in on him. He start backing away, but the Nightmares picked up speed as they charged toward him. "Ahhhh, no... AAAHHHHHHH!" He screamed in fear. Pitch tried to run, the Nightmares were faster. He was swept up in a stamped of Nightmare sand. Streaks of black whipped and latched themselves onto him. The black cloud quickly carried him through the forest. "No, no, nooooo!" They heard him cry out.

The black mass pulled him through the broken bedframe and down into the dark depths of the hole.

Pitch glanced up at the moon as he disappeared into the abyss. The bedframe was sucked in with and the earth sealed itself up. Leaving no trace of the Boogeyman.Jack came over to Claire and put a hand on her shoulder as they both gazed up and smiled at Manny. They heard Tooth's laugh and turned to see North, Tooth, Sandy, and Bunny beaming at the duo with pride.

Tooth came flying over to Jack a hug. She lifted off the ground in her excitement. They were going to share a moment, but she pulled back in giddy embarrassment as Baby Tooth interjected. Jack acknowledge Baby Tooth and gently patted her on the side of her face.

"Are you ready now, Jack?, even you Claire?" He tossed something to her and she caught it. She glanced down and smiled. In her hand, was a tiny Russian doll that looked like her. "To make it official," North smiled at the duo.

They peered over to see a stern elf hitting a horn against his palm. A yeti handed North the big Book that they seen, when they first met everyone. Claire looked at Bunny to see him looking at her and he gave her a smile and a nod.

"Then is time to take oath," North announced. He opened the book, and flipped through several pages before he spoke again. "Will you, Jack Frost, and Claire Evans... vow to watch over the children of the world?" Jamie and his friends, along the crowd of yetis, elves, and eggs made their way across the pond to the Guardians. North continued, "To guard them with your lives- their hopes, their wishes, and their dreams?. For they are all that we have, all that we are, and all that we will ever be."

Jack took a second to look back at Jamie, while Claire looked at the children, even little Sophie. "I will," Jack said. "I will," Claire answered the same time as him.

"Then congratulations, Jack Frost and Claire Evans - for you two are now and forever... Guardians."

Jamie and the kids erupted in a loud cheer, as did the yetis and the eggs.

"Oh man!"

"Woo!"

"Yeah, Jack!, Claire!" They cheered.

"Yippa!" North yelled.

"Yeah!, wooo!. Good job, mate. And good job, Sheila!" Bunny ran over and swept Claire in an enormous hug. She giggle and hugged him back as She was lifted off the ground.

"Go, Jack!"

"Awesome, Claire!"

"Alright!"

"Klasno!" North picked Jack up, gave him a big hug, and kissed him on both cheeks. Jack winced, but still looked up to North with a smile. Pretty sure, he would have done the same to Claire, but Bunny held her tight.

"That's my boy!" Bunnymund said, patting Jack on the shoulder.

The kids continued to cheer as Tooth patted Claire's shoulder and Sandy gave Claire and Jack a thumbs up. A elf imitated North as he picked up another elf standing next to him and gave him a big kiss. After a awkward pause, the affectionate elf was punched in the face.

Several fairies hovered near Jack as they formed the Shape of a heart. One of the swooning fairies fainted and fell to the ground.

"Keep it together girls." Tooth instructed.

Claire turned to Bunny. "Well, since I am now a Guardian, and I have no place to stay. I was wondering if you got room?" She said with a smile and her hands behind her back.

Bunny chuckled and swept Claire in his arms. "Sheila," he leaned in and brushed his lips against hers. "Nothing will make more happy." Then, he kissed her as she wrapped her arms around him and their eyes close.

Jamie saw this, and his jaw dropped with his eyes wide. "Claire is kissing the Easter Bunny!?"

Everyone turned to see and everyone had different reactions. North was laughing, Tooth was squealing along with her fairies, Jack had a smirk, while the children were screaming their heads off.

"Yo guys, look!" Caleb shouted.

"That's Santa's sleigh."

Claire and Bunny's moment was broken as they looked up with everyone to see North's sleigh come in for a landing. The tie-dyed elf rescued a lone egg from the skis of the sleigh as it glided across the icy pond.

"Wow, it's real."

"That is wicked!"

"Whoa that was awesome!"

"Oh... can you believe this?"

"Did you guys see that?"

"Wow!"

"Everybody loves the sleigh," Bunnymund wryly told North.

"Look at that!"

"So totally insane!"

North turned to face Jack and put a hand on his shoulder. "Time to go."

As the kids gazed on in wonder, Sandy threw up his hands creating a shower of dream sand. It slowly drifted down.

"Whoa!"

"It's beautiful!"

Sophie came over to Bunny, who released Claire. He bent down to hand her a egg. She giggled and patted the brim of his nose.

"Happy Easter ya little ankle biter. I'm gonna miss yah," He told her

"Bye, bye, bunny," She replied. She turned to Claire, who got down to her eye level, and hugged her. "Bye, bye, Claire." Claire hugged her back and place a gentle kiss on Sophie's forehead making the little one giggle.

Jamie then realized something.

"You're leaving," He asked Claire and Jack. "But, what if Pitch comes back?" They looked down and noted Jamie's worried expression. "What if we stop believing again?, If I can't see you-"

Jack knelt down to look Jamie in the eye. "Hey, hey slow down, slow down. You're telling me, you stop believing in the moon, when the suns comes up?"

Jamie took a moment to consider the question, before answering. "No"

"Okay," Claire said. "Well, do you stop believing in the sun, when the clouds block it out?"

Jamie smiled, "No"

"We'll always be there, Jamie. And now... we'll always be here." Jack pointed to Jamie's heart. "Which kind of makes you, a Guardian too." Jamie beamed as Jack and Claire stood up and headed towards the sleigh. His friends stood off to the side rubbing their eyes as they became drowsy.

"I can't keep my eyes open."

"I think I gotta go home."

"Let's go home."

"What time is it?"

"I'm sleepy."

"Jack!, Claire!" Jamie called running over to the pair. They turned just in time for Jamie to wrap his arms around them. For a second, Jack was astonished. Before he and Claire returned the warm embrace. After a moment, they stood and joined the others in the sleigh.

"Hyah!" North called. The Guardians glanced at the kids as the sleigh took off. Jamie jogged a bit behind them, like he still didn't want to let go. He was followed closely by Sophie. AS the sleigh gained altitude, there was a point where they could no longer follow the group.

"Woooo!"

"Yeah!"

"Yay!"

Jack began to move to the back of the sleigh as the others patted him on the back. He looked and Waited to see if Claire would join him. She nodded. but before she did... Quickly, she leaned over and kissed Bunnymund on the lips. After the kiss he winked at her as if promising more to come. Claire winked back before joining Jack on the back of the sleigh. After everything she has been through and everything she has done, she deserved this.

Claire:

My name is Claire Evans. I have been through a lot on this journey. I learned from the good and the bad parts, it made me stronger, made me braver, and most of all, it made me part of a family, and gave me a boyfriend who will be by my side along with the others. Manny made me a Guardian, so I can protect those I love, and for my undying belief in the Guardians. I am happy and I will fight to protect the children from harm. Because when they are in trouble, me and the Guardians will come to their aid.

So let me tell you this, when the moon tells you something, believe it.

Claire and Jack smiled at one another and she held his hand. With his free hand, he blew a snowflake into the air, and it danced in the air gracefully.

Just always remember. Never stop believing.
