Hey, hey, hey guys :D
My first ever Christmas story for ROTG. I know, I haven't been posting that much ROTG material…I've just been really busy with school and also on my HTTYD fan fics. But of course I haven't forgotten about Sapphire and Jack.
I have a lot of ideas for them. Just not enough time yet to completely think them through. In the meantime, enjoy this!

Merry Christmas, Sapphire!
Chapter One
The first thing that greeted Sapphire Aquamarie that morning when she visited Santoff Claussen that December 23 was a very, very, very busy Jolly Russian Red Fat Man barking out orders left and right. Yetis furiously rushed to and fro, avoiding mischievous elves, as North directed them.
"Come on, everyone! This is not a drill! Repeat! Not a drill! Get the reindeer fed! The sleigh prepared! Phil, is the takeoff ramp done with construction?! Move it, everyone! Tomorrow's the big day! Let's hurry up! Shostakovich, Dingle! Do not play with those!" North yelled, waving his swords about in a frenzy as he gave commands like an angry Soviet Union Commander.
"Wow…North seriously needs to take a chill pill…" Sapphire murmured to herself before a little icy kiss of wind tickled her ear. "If he gets too stressed again this year, I'm worried that he'll burst an artery." A sweet, cool voice whispered to her ear. Sapphire sighed blissfully as cold lips gently pecked her cheek. "Was last Christmas like this too, Jack?" she giggled, looking up at her adorable, mischievous boyfriend.
"Almost. Last year, I was afraid he was gonna get a heart attack when the power went out in the middle of final preparations." Jack chuckled. And as if on cue, the power went out and all the machines stopped working! "AAAAAHHH! MAN IN MOON, WHY?!" North yelled out, along with some Russian curses that were way too confusing for Jack and Sapphire to even understand.
"And it looks like I need to go check on the generator, again." Jack sighed, shaking his head. "Mind if I come with you?" Sapphire asked hopefully. "That'd be great. I never really liked going down to check on the generator on my own." Jack smiled as he gently took the water spirit's hand in his.
"Too dark and scary down there?" Sapphire asked softly as they took the elevator to get to the workshop's lower levels. "No, sure it's kind of dark there but that's not the reason why I don't really like going down here by myself…" Jack said quietly as they went down a flight of stairs to get to the generator room. "Is the generator kind of hard to work on?" Sapphire cocked her head as they made it to the generator room.
The generator of Santoff Claussen was, surprisingly, an electrical one. Grabbing a flashlight he had placed nearby specifically for this purpose, Jack checked on the generator and found the problem. "Another blown fuse…Sapphire, there's a toolbox under that table. I need you to get the blue fuse in there." Jack carefully instructed his girlfriend as he shut off all the fuses to avoid the risk of getting electrocuted. Sapphire fumbled about in the dark until she found the toolbox and found the right fuse. Handing it to Jack, Sapphire watched as Jack carefully replaced the worn out one with the new fuse.
"Okay, that should do it." Jack said as he turned the power back on. The lights quickly flickered back on and Sapphire smiled. "The generator itself is pretty easy work. I studied all of the blueprints for it and I've been planning to make a couple of improvements." Jack said, pleased with his repair work. "You know, you could switch to solar power here. With the North Pole usually having more daylight in some seasons, solar panels can provide the workshop with extra power." Sapphire suggested. Jack's eyebrows went up in surprise. "Huh, never thought of that. I better draw up some plans." He smiled, glad to have gotten another idea to improve Santoff Claussen from his brainy girlfriend.
"By the way, Jack…You never told me why you don't like coming down here by yourself. You say that it's not too dark or scary here, the generator's easy to fix…so what's the reason?" Sapphire asked curiously. Jack smirked a bit before placing his staff against the wall and suddenly grabbing Sapphire by the waist. "It's always too lonely for me whenever I come down here…" he whispered, gently kissing Sapphire. The Guardian of Equality let out a soft moan as the Guardian of Fun's cool lips meshed with her warm ones and passionately kissed Jack back. Jack smiled into the kiss as he wrapped one arm around Sapphire and cupped her face in the other.
The Guardian couple went into full make-out session mode. Sapphire, in between kisses, asked her boyfriend to make them a little bed of snow for them to lie on. Jack gladly obliged and, before long, the two of them were in the cold little snow bed. "Maybe I should come down here with you every time the generator needs to be fixed…" Sapphire purred seductively as she kissed along Jack's perfect jaw line. "I'd like that very much…" Jack murmured, sucking her neck. Moaning softly in Jack's ear, Sapphire snuck her hands underneath Jack's frost-covered, navy blue hoodie to feel his tamed, yet still so incredible, muscles. Groaning at Sapphire's touch, Jack upped his game and French-kissed her like a man possessed. And then…well, let's just leave those two to their business for now…
Meanwhile back in the workshop, North was so relieved to see the power come back on and he resumed barking out orders. But when the other Guardians: Bunny, Sandy, Tooth, Mother Nature, Father Time, Baby Tooth, Millennium and Marina arrived, he obliged to serve them cookies and eggnog. Baby Tooth, Millennium and Marina eagerly nibbled on the cookies while Sandy happily drank cups of eggnog. Tooth decided to help some Yetis doing lift work by flitting over to any toys up high that needed to be brought down while Father Time helpfully slowed down the clock a bit to give North some more time to prepare.
"I believe you need some soothing aromatherapy, North. Luckily I just happen to have the perfect holiday scent to perk you up." Mother Nature then had peppermint plants grow in her hair, the refreshing cool smell of fresh peppermint wafting through the air like magic. "Having trouble getting ready, mate?" Bunny smirked as North breathed in and out deeply. "If this is like how you prepare Easter, now I know how you feel when I summon you all for help." North sighed, relaxing a little. Then Sandy, looking up from his seventh cup of eggnog, made snowflake and water droplet sand symbols appear over his head. "North, I think we're two Guardians short." Tooth reported, seeing that Jack Frost and Sapphire Aquamarie weren't present.
Baby Tooth chirped in affirmation, looking around. "Weird, Sapphire said she was gonna visit Jack today. Where could she be?" Marina wondered out loud, swiveling her long graceful neck around to look for her blue haired friend. "Ah, she probably went off with Jack to go do some mischief. You know how those two can get into all sorts of shenanigans during winter." Millennium hooted knowingly.
North stroked his beard thoughtfully. "Now you mention it, power went out and then came back. They must have gone down to fix generator." He said. But if the power had already returned, shouldn't Jack and Sapphire be here by now? A little concerned, the Guardians went downstairs. But when they neared the generator room, they heard an odd chorus of moans coming from behind the door!
"Mmmm…you sure know how to make a lady feel happy, Jack…"
"For you, Sapphire, I try my best…God, you're really good at this…"
Baby Tooth and Marina both blushed at what they heard while Millennium said in a low hoot, "There goes our innocence…Retreat…" before the three of them high tailed it out of there. The other Guardians, on the other hand, looked at each other in shock. Oh Man in Moon, were they…?
"This is so wrong on so many levels…" Tooth mumbled. Sandy nodded in agreement and covered his ears as the moans intensified. "Are they…?" Father Time asked slowly, his eyes widening behind his brass spectacles. "Now, now…let's not jump to conclusions…" Mother Time chided her fellow Guardians, smiling slightly at her stepdaughter's…spunkiness.
North was rather uncomfortable with the situation. He sort of blamed himself for this because he had given Jack The Talk a couple of months after the boy and Sapphire became a couple and wondered if Jack was taking the whole 'birds and the bees' thing seriously...
Bunny…did not have any shame.
"Let's see what those two lovebirds are up to now, eh?" he said with a mischievous gleam in his eyes. Before any of the other Guardians could stop him, Bunny kicked the door open! Much to their surprise (and Bunny's slight disappointment), Jack and Sapphire were still fully-clothed and just lying in a small snowdrift while kissing each other passionately.
Bunny sighed, slightly disappointed that he didn't catch the two teenage Guardians in anything rule-breaking, while Tooth, Sandy, Mother Nature and Father Time all sighed out in relief. North chose that moment to have a little fun.
"I see you two kissing, but there is no mistletoe under!"
Jack and Sapphire were so busy kissing that they didn't even notice Bunny kicking the door open and their friend's staring at them until North's jovial booming voice brought them to attention. Lips making distinct 'pops!' as they separated, Jack and Sapphire turned their heads to see their fellow Guardians staring at them with wide eyes!
"Uh…Hi…" "'Sup?" Sapphire and Jack greeted them, their faces turning all shades of pink and red. After a couple of seconds of awkward silence, the Guardians burst out laughing. "Take it easy, mates! It's not even Christmas yet and you're already kissing without the mistletoe!" Bunny guffawed. Jack glared coldly at the Easter Kangaroo before noticing Sapphire's face suddenly turn sad at the word 'Christmas'.
Why would Sapphire be sad at such a great time of year? Christmas is pretty much one of the best holidays in the year!
So why was Sapphire Aquamarie, the Guardian of Equality, suddenly sad upon the mention of Christmas?
Jack was soon going to find out.
Yeah, I know…kind of silly of me starting off the Christmas story like this. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself :p
Plus I thought our two favorite teen Guardians deserved some love this holiday season. Anyways, I'll work on the next chapter tomorrow. Till then, read and review!
