Chapter 1

The sun had nearly gone down, the blue sky from mere minutes ago had turned gold, getting ready to turn black. It'd been a normal day, nothing out of the ordinary. But suddenly, something wasn't quite right. It was the middle of summer, yet objects from all around started frosting up, in a dominoes pattern. One after the other, people would turn to see what caused the disturbance but would see nothing but a gust of wind.
A young boy, roughly the age of 16, was flying swiftly overhead. This boy had scruffy white hair, a blue hoodie with ice patterns near the top, long brown pants, a staff and sparkling blue eyes. His name, was Jack Frost.
"There's still time..." He said to himself, as he began to descend lower to the ground. He looked around for a while, until he found the place he was heading for.
He landed in front of a small house, and without hesitation walked over the front and back yard, hoping that it wasn't too late.
Just as he was about to fly off again, dissapointed, he almost jumped as he heard a door slam open.
"Jack! W-Wait!" An even smaller brown-haired boy ran outside, and almost tripped trying to run on his bare feet on the frosted grass.
"Jamie!" Jack said with relief. "I thought you would've already been in bed by now!"
Jamie hugged Jack, just like he did every time he returned.
"I was," he said slightly out of breath, "Mum had already tucked me in but I snuck out."
Jack smiled, "Careful, North will put you on the naughty list!"
"Like you can talk!" Chuckled Jamie. He was 2 years older now, so by now Jack had fully informed him all the details of his guardian life. "So what do you wanna do?"
"Uh...," that was good question, it was too late to go and do much, "We could uh, build a snowman...?"
"You're starting to sound like Elsa!" said Jamie, "Nah we did that last time remember? Pippa joined in?"
"Oh yeah. Wait, who's Elsa? And how's it going with you and Pippa anyway?" He asked with a cheeky grin on his face.
"Oh Elsa's just a movie character. And no," Jamie dragged out, "I haven't asked her out yet."
"Well you should!" Jack nugged Jamie a little, "So what do you wanna do? Before it gets too late?"
"If nothing else I could always show you who Elsa is but... Hey!" He suddenly had a smile on his face, almost as big as when Jack greeted him, "Sandman!"
"What? I create snowmen, not sandmen Jamie."
"No look! It's the Sandman!" He pointed beyond Jack.
Behind them stood a little man made of gold: Sandy.
"Sandy?" Jack said surprised, "What are you doing here? The neighbours having bad dreams or something?"
Sandy shook his head. Symbol after symbol started appearing above Sandy's head, all going by as faster than the last.
"Woah woah woah, slow down there." Said Jack.
Sandy rolled his eyes, would anybody ever understand? A single symbol of the North Pole came up.
"The Pole? We have to go now?" Jack asked, Sandy nodded, "Oh come one! I only get to spend time with Jamie once a month! I only just got here!" Sandy pulled a 'sorry' face.
"Sorry Jamie," he groaned.
"It's ok, but can you come back as soon as you've finished with whatever you're doing instead of us having to wait a whole month again?" He pleaded.
"I'll try. So I guess I'll see you soon then. See ya!" Him and Sandy both waved goodbye to Jamie, and flew off to see what all the fuss was about.

After what seemed like hours of Jack trying to ask questions without Sandy answering them, they finally arrived at the cold white place that was the North Pole, the team base for all the guardians.
The landed right in front of a huge red wooden door, which was the main entrance. It felt kinda silly but they knocked.
The doors swung open, without needing anyone to pull them. Jack had never gone in this way before, he'd always climb through the window that led to his room, or taken North's snow globe. It looked pretty grand from this angle.
They walked on to where the bright shining globe was, millions of lights were emitted from it. And though occasionally you'd see a light start to dim or even go out, another would take it's place.
"So uh, now what?" Jack asked Sandy, who was looking around, even all the elves that were usually running around crazy were no where to be seen.
Sandy shrugged, and Jack let out a groan.
"They dragged me all the way back here for this? I could've been hanging out with Jamie and the others right now!"
Sandy was about to use his symbols, but something strange happened. The moon seemed to glow brighter, way brighter than usual.
"Is he trying to tell us something...?" asked Jack, "Sandy is he talking to you?"
He shook his head. They looked at it for a little while, hoping for something, anything to happen. Just as Jack was about to blurt out another complaint, the moon gave a sudden big pulse, and everything around them dissolved.

Jack's eyes started to open... everything looked like a blur, but, maybe that was because there wasn't much to see. Was it his mind playing tricks on him, or was everything surrounding him white? White floor, white ceiling, everything was white except for one door by one of the walls.
He heard a thump behind him, and quickly turned around, letting his eyes adjust he saw who he came to see in the first place.
"Jack! You made it!" Said a Russian accent.
"North...? But where-?"
"-we don't know. Man in moon was glowing, and now we're here."
"We?" Jack asked, but now that he looked, he realised that Sandy, Bunny and Tooth were here too.
"Jack! I was worried you were going to be left behind!" Said the fairy as she flew straight up to him, about to give him a hug, but then apparently got too embarrassed to.
"Thanks Tooth, so when'd you guys get here anyway? And does anybody know anything about where we are at all?"
"Nah mate, we don't know anymore than you do." Said Bunny.
This was so confusing, Jack had done a lot of strange and magical things, but this? This wasn't normal, "Well what about-"
"Oh give it a rest will you?" Only just now did Jack notice that in the tiny shade of darkness the door gave them, stood a tall man with a dark complexion, a black robe, black hair and yellow eyes.
"Woah! WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?!" He pointed his staff directly at him, ready to strike
"I missed you too." Pitch chuckled. Jack looked astonished at all the others.
"...don't look at me I didn't invite him!" Said North quickly. Jack shot a glance at Bunny,
"Yeah me and Pitch have been mates since preschool," he said sarcastically, "Have you gone crazy?! I didn't bring him!"
"Well who did?!" Jack yelled.
"...I did." An unfamiliar voice spoke out.

"W-Who are you? Asked Toothianna, everybody suddenly forgot about the strange circumstances they found themselves in, and focused on the girl that randomly stood before them.
"We'll have time for introductions later, but right now. We have to go in before it's too late, otherwise you'll be stuck here forever, and something tells me that wouldn't please you." She said.
"How do we know to trust ya?" Asked Bunny suspiciously.
"Well, you don't have much choice do you? I could be lying, but you wouldn't know how to get back if I left. Anyway could we please hurry? You've been out here long enough, and we don't have much time left."
Nobody seemed to want to be the first to step out, so they all just shifted uncomfortably.
"Well," Pitch spoke out unexpectedly, "I for one find this room we're in now much too bright for my taste, so I'm not risking having to stay here eternally. Just through the door I presume?" Without wating for a reply, he stepped through.
Sandy used his dream sand to shape an arrow above his head, pointing at the door.
"Yeah, I guess we better go too." Jack said hesitantly.
"Thank you, now don't worry nothing bad's gonna happen," the person said. One by one the Guardians walked through the door, Bunnymund being the last.
"If anything," she said, a grin spreading across her face "the fun is about to begin!"
