Jack Frost landed on the roof of the house and sighed, leaning forward on his staff. He gazed out over the village, at what he had created: a blanket of snow with frosted ponds and icicle-decorated trees. He watched as the last of the kids ran inside to go to sleep.

One of the kids, the one that lived in the house that Jack was standing on, stopped just outside and squinted up at him.

Jack caught his breath.

But the kid just said, "Mom, there's a full moon tonight!" and darted inside.

Jack sighed. "I just wish they could see me," he murmured.

"I can see you just fine."

He spun in his heels to see a girl about seventeen standing behind him with her arms crossed. She had copper-colored hair, green eyes, and wore a green hoodie, deer-skin boots, and brown pants. She was smirking at him.

"Who are you?" Jack asked.

The girl walked up to him, studying him. "Someone," she replied. "What about you? Are you someone, too?"

He lowered his staff from where it was aimed at her. "I'm Jack Frost," he said, raising an eyebrow.

"But are you someone?" she leaned forward so her face was dangerously close to his.

"Uh... I, um, suppose so," he stammered.

She pulled back. "Just as I thought," she declared.

He straightened, watching as she folded her arms again.

"I asked, who are you?" Jack demanded, slipping anger into his voice. It was hard to do, due to the fact the girl seemed to be nothing but crazy.

"And I said, I'm someone." She flipped her hair over her shoulder. "But you can call me Natalia."

He frowned. "Natalia?"

Natalia grinned. "Close enough," she laughed, and lept off the roof.

"Ah!" Jack ran to the side and looked down, but she was gone.

MANYMMANYMANYMANY Years Later...

"The Auora!" Jack Frost jumped up at the sight of the rainbow-colored Northern lights. It was weird, as he was in New Mexico, but that proved that he was being called by the Guardians.

He called the winds and flew to the North Pole, where he met up with North, Tooth, Sandy, and Bunnymund.

"What's up, guys?" Jack asked.

"Well... um..." Bunny shifted his large feet. "We think Pitch is back."

Jack rolled his eyes. "'Think'. So you don't actually know. Great."

"What we mean is..." Tooth looked uncomfortable. "The Man in the Moon told North Pitch was back. But there's been no sign of him. No unsuspected nightmares, no disbelievers... no anything."

"But the Man in the Moon is never wrong," North continued. "So we called you here."

"Guys... look." Jack was gaping at the Moon. The light from it glowed gold and a podium rose.

"A new Guardian," Bunny said excitedly, and Sandy nodded eagerly.

They crowded around the podium, North in full view of it. As he watched, the New Guardian's picture came on the screen.

"No." He said. "I refuse to let her join the Guardians."

"Who?" Tooth demanded. "She can't be that bad."

"It's Nat," North spat, glaring at the screen.

Bunny groaned. "I hate Nat! She's always bugging me and calling me 'Peter Cottontail'!"

"Who's... Nat?" Jack asked, approaching the podium.

He saw the picture and sucked in a breath.

It was a girl about seventeen sitting cross-legged on the grass. She was wearing deer skin boots, brown pants, and a green hoodie with the hood pulled on her head. Long copper-colored hair was hanging loose from the hood, a part of it covering on of her green eyes. The other one was visible, and looking at the cloudy sky. Her mouth was a small line, as if she wished the sun would come out.

Jack knew this girl.

It was the girl that called herself 'Natalia'.

So many years ago.

Hey Peeps. This is my fourth fanfic, after 'Shadows of the Past' (Avengers) 'Born of Hatred and Heart' (Harry Potter) and 'The Chaotic Collide of Alternate Universes!'
