Author's Note: If you bothered to read this, here I will say this once and once only. I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING THAT IS PUBLICLY RECOGNIZABLE, SO GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS! Thank you. Some of the characters are my OC's. A huge thanks to Solstice White for letting me use her character, who may or may not be an important figure later own. I haven't figured that out yet. Haha. What else... Oh yeah, Please please review. I want to know what you guys think. But try to make constructive criticism. Flames will be used to burn your soul.

ONWARD TO THE STORY!

Winter. It's probably the most powerful season there is. Yeah, I'll admit that. Winter is just powerful. I'm fine with that, but why did Manny have to go and give all the hard work and responsibility onto me.

Who am I you might ask? Of course you would. Who's ever heard about me. It's always about Jack Frost. I'm not complaining about that or anything. I'm unknown and he's the famous representation of winter. I get it. It's just kind of hard to be the opposite of a Guardian.

"Opposite?" You may ask. Yeah, opposite. We can't have a winter spirit without the other seasons now, can we? That's were I come in. Summer Heats, Spirit of Summer at your service. Creative name huh? Dear old Manny probably lost inspiration. I'm the third born season. Jacky came first as Winter, then Spring, Summer (me!), and last, Autumn.

I think Manny made us just to balance out the seasons. You know, the works. Spring and Autumn are opposites so they balance out each other and send the seasons through their respective loop, while Jack and I would make sure that we balanced out each other's seasons and that Spring and Autumn did their job properly. This wasn't hard because Jack was only slightly more powerful than me, but since he became a Guardian, it's taken all my immortal powers to keep the balance, and to be honest the balance were slipping drastically fast.

Now before you judge me, let me explain. Jack was always more powerful because he came first and, even though he wasn't believed in, people at least knew about him. Remember the term "don't let Jack Frost nip your nose?" Well the other seasons never were known like that. Winter was always better remembered, thus more powerful, and as Summer I had to make sure he didn't go over board. However, now Jack is even better known, believed in, and a Guardian. That probably triples my load of work. Not to mention that some of the immortals, holiday spirits, and even Guardians don't believe in us, the seasons, making us kind of weak compared to what we could be (but we're still powerful so don't you dare try anything funny on us!). Us seasonal spirits are special. We don't need belief to survive like the Guardians, and don't need people celebrating our holiday to support ourself (because we don't have one, duh) like Uncle Sam and his Fourth of July. We can support ourself simply with the power of our seasons, belief only makes us stronger.

*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*

Due to the dangerous imbalance of the seasons, we decided to call The Meeting Of The Seasons. That's where we, the seasons, meet to discuss the matters or issues of the seasons.

G... Sorry! You don't know the other seasons

Green Bloom is the Spirit of Spring. He...yes he. For some reason Manny changed his mind halfway through transformation and decided to make Green a guy instead of a chick, so we have three male seasons and one female (Ha Ha... Woops). Green's a bit sensitive about the fact his name is a bit girly, so we just call him G. He has spiked up sun golden hair, and leaf green eyes that always are laughing, probably why he's named Green. I don't know why but we all follow the Jack jacket trend. He wears a light green shirt with a darker green jacket and sky blue pants. G's also a bit of a fashionista so he always has on a lavender (but I call it pink) scarf.

Autumn Wind is the, ding ding ding, you guessed it the Spirit of Autumn. No shit (Wow Manny, really creative!), and yes the jacket trend continues. Autumn sports a pumpkin orange shirt, black pants, and a mud brown jacket. The only jewelry she wears is a beaded necklace with a silver maple leaf pendant in the center. She tends to let her chocolate brown hair blow in the wind, showing off the occasional gold streak, and her yellowish-orange eyes always shone with care and love, but everyone in a while they turned stormy and spoke of unspeakable pain if you irritated her.

Then there's me. I have black eyes that, for some reason are lined with red, black hair with tips dyed red. My hair is also spiked up so when I move it looks like my hair is black fire. My outfit consists of a yellow v-neck, red pants, and, YES!, a red jacket (I know why the hell would Manny give a spirit of Summer pants and a jacket?! I ought to be wearing tank tops and board shorts!)

Anyways, back to the Meeting Of The Seasons. we were only waiting for one more person, and yes, that person was Jack.

"Where is he?" whined G

"Oh be quiet Green!" said Autumn

"Don't call me that!" he snapped with back

I should mention that as each others opposites, they don't get along 100% of the time. Who am I kidding! Those two fight like cats and dogs about everything under the sun. I mean, yeah, we're all the best of friends and always stick together, but we tend to also have spats. When it's me against one of them it's usually very mild, but when they fight each other they can stay mad at each other for weeks on end. Kind of like Ron and Hermione, which makes me wonder if Ms. Rowling used us as the idea for their personalities, If she did I would be Harry. Yay! But I'm getting off topic. Opposites right.

If Jack and I were to stay together in the same room to long then the same thing would happen. Except I barely see him, and he has never attended as single of our meeting. You'd think that as a Guardian he'd be better at shit like this but nope, he's still the same. In the old days we would just start without him, because we didn't know where he was. But now...

"Right." I stood up. "We're going to the North Pole." The others just looked at me funny.

"What?" G asked

"Why" Autumn question at the same time. They glared at each other for talking when they were trying to talk. Idiots

"Because, if Jacky won't come to the meetings, we'll just take the meeting to him." I explained

We all had been to the North Pole. Just because there was just snow didn't mean that there weren't seasons. I tended to stay there the shortest/avoided the place. Cold and I get along just as well as two rabid dogs in a very small cage (for those of you who don't get that, here. WE DON'T GET ALONG!).

"Oh and bring your weapons. God know what shitty mess is going on up there this time."

Really only the other two had weapons. G uses a bow and spring arrows (those are arrows with leaf shaped arrowheads. Cupid much?). With them he could A) shoot people and control the Spring Winds, or B) use them to bring Spring by shooting the ground. He calls it a metaphor for planting the seeds but I'm still like "WTF!" One of G's more interesting abilities is that he can spread Spring Fever. You know, that awful sniffle you get around spring?

Autumn uses these throwing knives shaped like maple leaves (Bunnymund much?). The leaves fall off the trees because, every year Autumn flies around throwing her leaf knives, blowing the leaves off. The knives coupled with her control over the Autumn Winds (heh, see what I did there?) create a pretty interesting and impressive fighting technique.

My "weapon" was a staff (*sigh* Jack Frost much?) but instead of the curvy crescent shit on the end of his staff, I had a sun-like shape on mine. And obviously I use flames and sun rays. No, I control ice like Jack does. Kindly note the sarcasm. Furthermore I don't commonly use the Summer Winds to fly. I just used the solar rays, unless there weren't any, then obviously I would use the winds.

Now that were finally done with that, let's get to the actual story shall we? All right.
We took off towards the North Pole. Passing over land and water, I just relaxed and took in the sight. As we went further it got colder, around the Greenland area I started shivering. I don't know about the others but for me it was a cold hell (tee hee, a cold hell. That's funny, you know cuz hell is hot but it's cold, but I'm when I'm cold it's my hell so it's funny to have a cold hell cuz hell is hot but it's cold, but I'm when I'm cold it's my hell...You know what, never mind.)

*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*

As we rounded the last corner I could see the North Pole. Stunning as usual. It's glittering lights and aurora borealis shinning majestically. It was beautiful but the only thing I cared about at that time was the chimneys were piping away smoke, which meant it was warm inside, and the tingling in my stomach that opposites get, signifying that Jack was nearby.

As we neared the feeling got stronger and stronger. We landed and the feeling was going bat-shit crazy, and I mean, craaaaaaazy! It was the only thing willing to move in my frozen body.

"He's here." I stated, shivering.

"Yay we finally get to Jack Frost!" Autumn squealed. Neither G or Autumn had met him.

"Woop dee doo" I snapped sarcastically, still shivering.

Did I mention it was cold? Well it wasn't. It was fucking freezing. Imagine living in a hot, steamy sauna in the middle of the a desert for your entire life. Then imagine being thrown into a pool of liquid nitrogen in the Antarctic. Maybe with that picture in you head you'll get about ten percent of my pain. I told you snow and I don't get along. In normal conditions my body temperature would just melt everything cold around me, but since I was at the North Pole the cold was too strong.

The others weren't affected through. Nooo, they were perfectly fine. Of course, lucky Summer. He got to freeze his ass off.

G walked up to the door and knocked. The window opened a little to revel Phil the Yeti.

"Hey Phil!" G piped.

Phil glared at him and slammed the window shut. Apparently Phil has some sort of grudge against G. I have no idea what went on between them and neither does G, but right now that grudge was the only thing between me and warmth.

"Come on, open up!" I stormed up to the door and started to pound on the door. Started because the moment the door connected with my hand, it melted.

I stared, amazed, at a dumbstruck Phil.

". . ."

". . ."

". . ."

"At least we got the door open." Autumn offered hesitantly.

I shrugged and invited myself in, around Phil, into the warm room. Laughing as the heat enveloped me, I ran towards a very fluffy and comfortable looking red and green couch.

"Warmth at last!" I sighed as I jumped on the couch. Only to have it melt under me.

A curious elf ran over to me. I admit I must have looked pretty weird sitting in a puddle of red and green. After throughly inspecting me, the elf poked me. And spontaneously combusted. The other three just stared at me, horrified.

"Right, do not touch anything in this damn place." I grumbled as I stood up.

"Let's just find Jack and get out of here" I called over my shoulder as I stormed off, not bothering .

"And turn up the heater! It's not nearly hot enough." Another one of those stupid elves got in my way. So of course, I kicked. Surprise surprise! It combusted as it flew away form me.

"Jack!" We all called as we ran up and down the corridors (who knew the North Pole was so wind-y) until we found ourself in front of a door that my gut instinct told me Jack was behind.

You know, one would expect me to learn form the last door, but nope. I knocked. And the door melted.

On the bright side, we found Jack, but we also found the Guardians, and standing in a puddle of door did not make me look very good.

"Come on!" I cried, "What is this building made of? Ice? I can understand the elves combusting, being winter creatures and all but doors? Really?"

"Yes, it is" North growled, "The building is infused with the power of ice."

"Oh, that explains it"

"What are you doing here anyway, Summer." spat North, "It's not your season here. Get out." We had some bad blood.

"Geez. Calm you tits North. Don't throw a tantrum. We just need to talk to Jack. He's late for a meeting" I glared at him

"No. Abso..."

"Hey G!" Bunny exclaimed, hopping over to G.

"Sup, Bunny" G replied. They high fived (high pawed?) and did a quick hug (*cough bromance cough*).

"Hi Bunny." Autumn walked over and extended her hand waiting for a shake. He just ignored her. I walked up to them.

"Hello? Bunny?" I waved my hand in front of his face. He just kept talking to G.

"Bunny? Bunny! BUNNYMUND!"

"Summer, I don't think he believes in us." Autumn pointed out. "That's why he can't see or hear us."

"What! Oh, so you believe in the spirits of SPRING and WINTER but not the other 2 seasons?" My temper started to rapidly rising. The problem with being the summer spirit is my season is pretty fiery and so am my temper. I'm known for flaring quickly and holding very long grudges. I caused the Dust Bowl.

"You TWAT! YOU DON'T BELIEVE? I'l make you BELIEVE!" Stomping over to Bunnymund and slammed my staff into ground at his feet, melting a 10 foot hole. Right under him.

"Crikey! What was that?" The over grown Rat groaned up from the hole. Jack landed next to me.

"That, my dear kangaroo," he chuckled "was Summer."

"Summer?"

"Yeah, all four seasons are here right now."

"All four?"

"Yes you bastard!" I screamed. he obviously head (and saw) me that time because he looked at me and jumped.

"So there's four of you?" he asked sheepishly

Breathing deeply to calm myself down (I probably would have melted another hole through the floor if I didn't. It was already staring to steam and my hair was smoking.). I flew down and grabbed him. I picked him up and flew back up.

"Summer Heats. Nice to meet you." I smiled and extended my hand.

"E. Aster Bunnymund. Sorry 'bout that. He smiled back. Now that he believed in us I started to like him already. But we still had a mission. I couldn't just stand there and talk to him.

Remembering my mission, I walked up to Jack. And slapped him. His cheek steamed on contact. Bunny just laughed.

"Thats for the white winter in Los Angeles. We agreed that California is my territory, along with 10 degrees north and south of the equator." I said cooly (ha ha cooly. It's funny cuz it's my opposite... yeah). I slapped him on the other cheek causing it to steam also.

"Thats for missing todays meeting." He gave me his best puppy dog eyes.

I sighed and gave him a quick hug, letting go quickly because we both started to steam.

"Damn you, you know that I can't resist those puppy dog eyes. It's good to see you Jack." He smiled when he realized that I wasn't genuinely mad at him.

Perhaps I should explain. First the steaming. You know the term fire and ice? We are actually fire and ice. Touching him is like putting a hοt pan into the snow, thus the steaming. Next the slapping, it's kind of like our inside joke. You see, unlike the other two I had actually met Jack once before. I caught him in Jamaica, trying to coat the place in snow. After slapping him a couple times, we sat down and talked about everything we could in that short amount of time. Such as where we would manifest at different times, how our lives were etc. I told him about the other seasons and he talked about the places he's been. Quickly we became friends and we occasionally text each other (Yes we have phones. We are unbelieved in not dead.).

I dragged him over to the other two.

"Jack these are the other two seasons. G meet Jack. Jack this is Green Bloom, Sprit of Spring." Jack chuckled.

"We call him G cuz he's sensitive about his name." I whispered. He nodded, understanding.

"And this is Autumn Winds, Sprit of Autumn." I continued, grabbing Autumn dragging her over.

"Nice to finally meet you Autumn, I've heard a lot about you." Jack took he hand and kissed it, blushing. Aww. do I here a smitten Winter Spirit?

Actually, I heard a thump. Because instead blushing and responding, Autumn blushed and fainted.

Sighing, G notched and arrow and shot her in the leg. She yelped, jumped up, and slapped him. Hurt, G scurried into a corner away from her. Of course he didn't hurt Autumn as much as she hurt him. He just used his spring powers to shock her autumn ones. Kinda like smelling salt.

Looking around the room, I got a huge shock. We weren't alone. All the immortals were there in the room with us. Giving a moment to nod at Tooth and Sandy, I kept sweeping my gaze until it landed on someone who looked distinctly like. . . Sin, the devil herself!
She was one of my better friends outside of G, Autumn, and to a lesser extent, Jack. I had met her in the back alleys New York (incidentally this was the story of why North hated me so much).

*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*

It was Christmas Eve and I had a mission to do in New York. Earlier that day I overheard a greedy businessman who only liked Christmas for its sales values say,

"Summer is a useless season where children waste energy on silly frivolities such as having fun and being joyful."

That was a total insult considering he had insulted both my season and my center. And I wasn't about to stand for that. I probably overreacted and went over board, but I was absolutely pissed.

Now one thing to understand is that I am a personification of Summer and so, to a further extent, the sun itself.

If you're wondering what I did, I have two words for you. Solar. Flare. According to the press a "freak solar flare" struck New York setting the businessman's house on fire. And melting all the snow in a 200 mile radius, effectively ruining Christmas in one of the most commercialized city in the world, and North's favorite place. New York. Admittedly I went overboard but this was at least 13 years ago and North is still mad at me. And they say I hold the grudges.

After the "solar flare" I was walking around the streets an got lost. I could have flown away but I was mussing about life, trying to calm down, and planning the next years summer. During my intense meandering around, I managed to find myself in a very dark and downright creepy alleyway.

I don't know how she found me there but somehow Sin appeared right next to me and immediately started yelling at me for "invading and flooding her city". After 5 minutes of nonstop ranting I finally managed to calm her down enough to explain to her the scenario. She totally understood and after a long conversation about sin, summer, North, revenge, anger, Bunnymund, and for some reason coffee, we became friends.

A lot of people actually misunderstood Sin. People though her to be some wicked and evil demon who took the soul of everyone for no purpose. Sin was not bad, she was just evil. Contrary to popular belief, Sin had a soft spot for children. She only took the souls of those who were evil and she did that to teach children what not to do, so in her own way she was also keeping the balance and guarding the children.

*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*

Sin looked the same as always. Expensive looking clothes, elegant cane, pale skin, yellow eyes, and the trademark neat bun and fedora on her head.

I nodded my head at her and she smiled. Tapping her cane she disappeared and reappeared next to me.

"Sup?" I asked, "Anything new?"

"Just a very important meeting." She responded.

"No shit, Sin. If you're even here then it's got to be big. Like Manny big." I rolled my eyes.

"Well, we're just going to steal old Jacky here and get on our way." I announced

Grabbing his arm I started to lead him towards the door.

"STOP!" North growled. He ripped Jack out of my hands and dragged him off towards the center of the room where a makeshift stage was set up.

"NORTH! This is vital. If we don't get talk to Jack we may never see the other seasons again." I screamed.

"SUMMER! This is vital. If we don't get talk to Jack we may never see the other seasons again." North bellowed at the exact same time.

"You guys! You're already on the same page." Autumn and G shouted over us.

North glared at me and walked up the stage. Following him, I returned the glare and flat tired him as I walked.

"We have a major problem." North said once he was on the stage, choosing to ignore my flat tire. "Winter is getting to powerful. We need a way to stop it, before it overwhelms the other seasons. Any ideas?"

"I know," a voice called. "If Jack is the Spirit of Winter, then we just have to ask Manny to create a Spirit of Summer to balance him out!"

Facepalm.

Please review and give me your constructive criticism. I would love that. Also I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT OVER 3,000 WORDS! OMFG!
