Helllllllllo my black holes! I have a new story for you guys! I would like to thank everyone who enjoys my stories!
PLEASE NOTE: WILL BE UPDATED SPORADICALLY!
This story is a big project. I've seen RotG many times and have officially lost the disc. So I'm doing the events of the movie in this story, and have to do it from memory.
Now that that's out of the way, who's ready for The Sides!
Disclaimer:I don't own RotG!
Jack
Nightlight
Jokul
A one hundred year old Jack was flying at break-neck speed with the wind at his back. "Come on wind, faster!" He called excitedly. The wind happily obliged.
As he flew, the air not part of the wind bent around him, trying to get out of the way. So much so that the air was becoming visible. A white-ish shield formed in front of him.
"So close! Just a little more!" He screamed. A sudden BOOM! sounded as Jack broke the sound barrier.
Jack's mouth was open in silent laughter as he twirled around like a high-speed snowflake. He zoomed around a little more over Southern California until rays of sun peeked over the horizon. That's when he paused.
"Hey, Wind," Jack called. "Take me home!" And with a delighted laugh, Jack was whisked away at his normal 250 mph.
Within an hour, Jack was at his pond in Burgess. "I can't believe we did that." He said breathlessly. "That was SO COOL!"
It was, wasn't it?
"What the-!" Jack shouted in surprise. He whipped his head back and forth. "Who said that?! Show yourself!"
You would have thought he would have noticed us by now.
"Another?! Where are you?"
Oh Jack, we aren't out there.
We're in here.
"I am beyond confused."
Jack, we've been in your head for the last 100 years. I guess we're your… help me out…
Alternate selves.
That works.
"So, what, I… change, I guess… into you."
Maybe.
"Not very helpful."
He's usually like that.
"Who are you anyway?"
My name's Nightlight.
Jokul Frosti.
"Huh."
Seriously, how have you not noticed us yet.
Be nice Jokul.
It was a legitimate question.
Jack considered. "I actually have no idea. Though, I have had weird experiences, where it was like I was watching myself do things."
That would most likely be me.
Hey!
Truth. It's the truth, Nightlight.
"So… we can change."
Not physically, I think. You still look the same. Actually, I think we all look the same. Never really seen your reflection.
"Really?"
It's true.
"...To the ice, then."
Jack hopped over to the pond, which was covered in thick ice. He looked at his icy eyes, his white hair, and his falling apart cloak.
"Gonna need some new clothes soon…" he muttered.
I agree.
Be nice.
"No, no, Jokul's right." Jack said. "So, are we alike?"
Let's see, shall we?
Jack, let me take control.
"Wha-" and suddenly Jack lost control over his body. He could still see, of course, but it felt… detached.
"Wow."
What the- huh? Jack tried speaking, but no sounds came out. Weird, he thought.
I know, it is a strange feeling at first.
"Hey guys, look."
Jack's finger, seemingly on it's own, rose until it was pointing at the reflection on the ice. It scarcely looked any different, except the hair was slightly sharper and his eyes were red. Jack's hooked staff was now a twisted wooden wand.
Wow.
Agreed.
"Cool, red eyes. Forgot about those. And the wand isn't ice anymore, huh."
Wait, were you… like me, mostly in control… at one point?
"Yeah, Nighty is the only one without a person in their mind all the time."
Don't call me that. Now, move, it's my turn. Finally!
There was a strange warped feeling, like something that shouldn't shifting.
That was weird too.
You'll get used to it.
"MiM, I haven't been like this for ages!"
The reflection in the ice had changed again. The white hair was more silvery, the glowstick-green eyes glowed brightly. A mole appeared under his left eye. The wand had changed again, into a wooden spear tipped in a glowing diamond dagger.
I like your spear.
"Thanks! Back to you, Jackie!"
Jackie?
Yet another strange feeling filled Jack as he was shoved back into his body, but it felt less dramatic this time.
"You're right, I am getting used to it."
You doubt the words of a master?
Jack laughed. "Whatever. Let's go see about those clothes, huh? I saw a hoodie I really liked…"
