Here it is, another Jack Frost love story... I haven't really decided a rating yet, because I tried to make this as an imaginable story as possible, because although I don't mind a good smut, or dark story of our favorite Guardians, in reality we all know that things would stay pretty PG. Which is why I'm starting this rating with T (cause I believe thats where most the stories are).
Well I hope you Enjoy :) Comment and tell me what you think, cause thats always nice. Oh and I don't own any of the Guardians or their awesome abilities.
Chapter One
A New Guardian
It all started with a ball of snow, or better known as a snowball. This small, yet incredibly chilling object flies through the air so perfectly, and on impact splatters if not even more perfectly, leaving its victim with an icy taste of what a snow day is really made of. At least, technically that's what it does.
But to Jamie Bennett and his friends, a snowball meant so much more, especially when created by Jack Frost himself. Although, they often complained about how good he was at making them, specifically when he was on the opposing team. But Jack couldn't help it if he was good at making the snowballs, which were so evenly rounded with the right amount of ice to hold together, but enough softness to keep damage to the bare minimum. He was, after all, Jack Frost. The famous winter spirit.
"No fair!" Pippa laughed as she saw Jack conjure up another batch of ammo from across the small alley. She ducked as Jamie threw another in her direction; luckily it hit the snow fort they all built earlier that day.
Quickly Jamie grabbed another and threw it with a laugh before feeling snow hit his head. "Hey!" He laughed before throwing in a new direction.
Jack jumped, twisted, and ran to get away from the flying snow. The only rule the kids gave him was that he couldn't fly, which they thought would make things fair but were sadly wrong, for Jack was way quicker than he looked.
"Hit Jack!" One of the kids yelled and soon all of the kids were trying to hit the unhittable.
With a laugh Jack dodged the incoming snowballs. "Hey!" He yelled while dodging a couple more. "Teaming up on one guy? Where's the fairness in that?" He tried to act innocent, but his mischievous grin kept the kids throwing.
Laughing, Jack turned to run.
"Umph!" He hit something fuzzy and hard before falling back onto his butt in the snow, dropping his staff in the process. All the kids stopped throwing and dropped their snow in surprise.
"The Easter Bunny!" Jack heard one of them shout as he looked up at the figure whose shadow was casted over him. He stood tall with a proud smile, arms to the side with fists clench. Bunnymund was obviously happy about the impact he made.
All the children hurried over with smiles and laughs as they began to ask questions and make comments about his 'un-cute', tough appearance.
With a roll of his eyes Jack stood, "Oh yay, the Easter Bunny," he grumbled sarcastically while wiping off the snow on his butt. After picking up his staff he looked towards the Kangaroo who was surrounded by children. Jack would be lying if he said he wasn't jealous, after all, they were just having tons of fun with him before the Kangaroo showed up.
"Alright, alright." Bunnymund chuckled, making sure to give Jack a triumphant smirk, both knowing that the children were excited about his unexpected presence. Jack looked away angrily. "Quiet down ya little ankle-biters."
The group got quiet, but one of the kids decided that this was the perfect opportunity to ask his question. "Why are you here!?" He shouted in excitement which got some of the kids asking the same.
"Yeah, it's not Easter." One pointed out.
"Did you bring any eggs?" And soon they were back asking numerous questions.
"Crikey, ya ask a lot of questions." Bunnymund sighed. He looked up to notice Jack pull his hood over his head before he started to walk
away. Usually the bunny would relish in a moment such as this. Just seeing the high and mighty Jack Frost sulking because the little ones liked him more at the moment, it practically made the bunny's day. Yet, he was not here for satisfaction, he was here for business.
Just as quickly as the Easter Bunny showed up, he disappeared through one of his holes, taking care that the children didn't fall in.
The kids all looked around wondering where Bunnymund had just gone, leaving only a pink daisy in place of where he just stood. It was only then that they realized Jack was also gone, earning a groan from most as they trudged their way through the snow and home.
Jamie stood with his close friends; sad that there day of fun was coming to an end.
Jack was now next to his lake, walking along the edge while he refroze the already frozen water. "Stupid Kangaroo." He muttered. "Always knows how to ruin a good day of fun."
"Aye mate, I'm gonna pretend that I didn't just hear ya."
Jack turned to see Bunnymund leaning up against one of his frosted trees, he could tell that his kangaroo comment still bothered him by the way he crossed his arms. Smiling a little, Jack noticed a pile of snow sitting on a branch almost right above Bunnymund.
"Listen Jack, I've come to…" Bunnymund started as he pushed himself from the tree and took slow steps towards the ageless teen. Jack paid no attention as he watched Bunnymund with a playful smile, 'just a little bit more,' he thought glancing once more at the pile of snow and gripping his staff in excitement. 'Oh this is gonna be so funny,' he thought again, already imagining the bunny's face. He had to force himself not to laugh before anything happened.
"Are you even listening to me?!" Bunnymund questioned angrily, having to go through that whole speech while Jack just stood smiling at him. Somehow Bunnymund knew that smile all too well. "Mate?" He questioned, wondering what that boy was planning.
"Yeah, yeah I'm listening." Jack finally answered, thinking about how Bunnymund was just one step away from becoming a live bunny snowman.
"Crikey! We don't have time for this!" Bunnymund yelled, sick of the always joking Frost, whatever he had planned in that small mind of his, Bunnymund was not having it. "We need ya at North's workshop pronto! It's an emergency."
Jack's smile fell as he finally registered what the Kangaroo was saying. 'Emergency?' He thought as one of his hands fell away from his staff. Focusing on Bunnymund, Jack realized that he wasn't kidding around. 'Of course he wasn't kidding,' he thought to himself stupidly. 'That Kangaroo wouldn't know a joke if it came up and bit him on his fluffy tail.'
"What's going on?" Jack asked finally sounding serious, although he was unaware of the annoyance on Bunnymund's face, who just got done explaining what was happening while Jack wasn't paying attention.
"The Man in the Moon mate, he chose a new Guardian."
Jack's eyes widened as he nearly dropped his staff. 'A new Guardian?' Now that was just impossible. First thing that came to Jack's mind was that Pitch must've returned, why else would a Guardian be chosen?
"We best be gettin to North's shop. We have a lot to figure out." Bunnymund said before tapping his foot on the ground and disaapearing into his hole.
Jack stared at the blue daisy for a moment before finally realizing he should get going. He started to run, ready to call on the wind, but he slowed down and looked back towards the town of Burgess. Usually he always said goodbye to Jamie before he left, maybe a quick stop wouldn't hurt?
But then Jack thought about the time he left the Guardians on Easter those couple years ago. Gripping his staff tightly, Jack took off from the ground, ready to go to North's. He could say goodbye to Jamie another day.
Making his way towards the room with the globe, Jack opened the wide doors and saw the rest of the Guardians. He couldn't help but smile at the sight before him.
Sandy was asleep while an elf took bites of the cookie he held in his hand. Tooth was buzzing around the room talking about, of course, teeth, to her fairies. Aaaand North and Bunnymund were arguing (again) about the situation.
"Glad to see everything's normal." Jack said, unknown to the rest, as he walked further into the room. He then noticed the glowing blue light that stood above the center of the floor. "This is new." He said circling the light and sticking his staff in it quickly before pulling it out. Once he was standing in front of it he realized what it was.
In front of him was a picture of a girl, with half her hair pulled back. Her eyes looked towards Jack and she wore no smile, if Jack didn't already guess that this was an actual person in real life, he would've thought she was a statue or a painting. Her arms were crossed and then the rest of her was cut off.
Jack looked over her once more, realizing that she didn't look a day older than himself. But out of all the spirits he has met in his hundreds of years of existence, he had never seen her. He looked once more into her eyes; they were very strange to him.
"Jack."
Jack jumped when he felt a small hand touch his shoulder. Had he been that lost in thought that he didn't notice that everyone stopped what they were doing to look at him staring at the girl?
He smiled at Tooth first, causing some of her fairies to awe and faint, then he turned towards the rest. They all looked at him and then behind him, which he was guessing was the picture of the girl.
"I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that that's her isn't it?" He pointed a thumb behind himself, trying to forget about his moment of gawking at a picture and being caught by everyone. "The next Guardian." He completed.
"Her name is Star Light." Tooth said as she flew around the picture quickly. "Quite pretty, don't you think?" She said with a smile.
"She is to be next Guardian." North said, pulling Jack's attention towards him. North smiled, "a very bright girl, she is!" He then started to laugh at his own joke as he clutched his belly. Sandy just smiled and shook his head at the man, while Bunnymund sighed in frustration and crossed his arms.
"Right?" Jack said not knowing what North was talking about, but by her name he was guessing she had something to do with stars. "What does she do?"
"You see Jack," Tooth started as she floated close to him, resting a hand on his shoulder and turning him to face the picture, "Star is in charge of wishes. She grants them to children who wish upon stars, or candles, or pennies. There are many ways a child can make a wish."
"Aye, she has a very special job that one." Bunnymund chimed in, hopping up next to them.
Sandy came up and signed something, causing Tooth to let out a giggle. "I bet she thinks you're sweet too Sandy." She said making the golden man blush and twiddle his fingers.
"She will be a great Guardian. I can feel it in my belly." North stated as if it were fact. The rest of them went silent and looked away from her picture.
Jack noticed and looked around, North was the only one who smiled at the picture brightly. He was about to ask what the sudden change in mood was about, but North spoke loudly, his voice booming within the room.
"Sandy." He called and the sandman stood straight, bringing his hand up in a salute. "You will retrieve our new member."
With a nod sandman conjured up his sand into a make-shift plane, before pulling down his goggles and flying away.
Jack watched, staff in hands, before Sandy disappeared from the workshop all together. He then turned towards his fellow Guardians. "Can someone tell me why she gets the welcome from Sandy while I had to deal with the Kangaroo over here?"
Tooth let out a giggle, before remembering she had teeth to report to and went back to her fairies. Bunnymund clenched his fists and growled. "For the last time mate, I ain't a bloody Kangaroo!"
