Hello everyone. I'm new to the world of writing fanfiction (but not reading them). I'm french but I wanted to share my stories with as many people possible. So my stories will be written in french and in english. I know it's not a fluent english. I just tried my best when I translated from french. I will update this story at least once a week.
So here we go: disclaimers! I'm not the original author of the amazing stories "Guardians of the childhood". Thank you Mr Joyce for them.
An unforgettable night.
The golden snow delicately falling on the frozen pond had Pippa mesmerized. Sandman's powers were so awesome and full of fantasy! Even though, despite the great joy she was feeling in her heart, a nagging qualm begun to strike her. The Guardians were waiting for the Goodbyes hugs between Jack and Jamie to finish, so that they could take off in Santa's magical sleigh. Pippa didn't know how long her friend was acquainted with Jack Frost, the new guardian, but she was sure of one thing: the bond they share was very deep. They were like two brothers on a train station, reluctant to let the other behind (she remembered the tears her young cousin Jason had shed last September while his big brother Harry stepped on the train for his first year at Yale). The moment Jack stood with his immortal allies, she decided to smile and shout her "Goodbye" and "See you soon", her friends surrounding her.
The sleight was soon a minuscule point in the sky and she already heard Monty whining about the cold. "You can talk, you have a coat on. I don't!" grumbled Cupcake. Pippa saw then, behind her friend, the infamous Claude and Caleb trying to sneak near one of the yetis, seemingly to warm them up with his fur. The yeti felt their trick and turned on himself so fast that they yelped in surprise, falling on the ice comically and slipped without any poise until they ramed into Cupcake and Monty. Eggs, elves and yetis started to laugh vigorously. Pippa saw beside her Jamie who was gripping his ribs laughing wildly. Maybe she didn't have to worry too much…
Claude's rales, he was trapped between the ice and the bodies of his brother and friends, were heard by two yetis who lifted him swiftly. Sophie seemed enthralled by the sight and stood her arms up in front a brown haired yeti sporting a big grey mustache. The yeti blinked once, not understanding the girl's plea. Pippa walked to him and breathed a "She wants for you to take her in your arms". The yeti blinked a second time, looking to the blond kid gripping his right leg, and proceeded to hoist her up.
« Sophie, fly ! » she screamed in delight, her sweet voice full of joy and wonder, leaning on the yeti's hands who make her do flying figure above his head. Everyone looked at the scene with happiness. Pippa spied the yetis: their face showed such a vibrant joy while playing with the children. One of the yetis, the same who surprised the twins, grumbled something in their strange language. The others answered grumpily. They gesture to the children to follow them. Heartbroken, they all walked to the Bennet's house which was the nearest from the pond. As soon as they stopped in front of the wooden fence of Jamie's residence, the one who looks like their boss took hold of a snowglobe and threw it on the road. A magic portal opened and the stone eggs, the elves and the egglets started to cross it. Jamie and Monty exclaimed at the same time: "You leave already?". Nodding, the yetis hugged the children. Sophie landed gently at her brother's side. The sadness Pippa felt a while ago took again hold on her heart. The last yeti was starting to cross the vortex when he suddenly tossed a small object in Jamie's direction. He caught it when the portal closed, and the gasp that escaped his lips was loud: "A snowglobe!" His friends circled him instantly.
« Uh ? Really ? He gave you one? » said Caleb. "Do you think we could use it to meet them again?" asked an estatic Monty. "You know how to use this?" fussed Cupcake. "I think we must wait for a better time to go on another adventure. They just leave, it's cold and dark, our PJs are wet with snow and I think I'll drop on the sidewalk from sleep… " yawned Pippa. She wondered if Sandman was responsible for her current dizziness. Her friends looked at each other and Jamie held her gaze for ten seconds before agreeing with her.
« OK, we meet tomorrow morning at 10, near the pond. It's Easter Monday, so we will have time to talk about what happened. And well… we will be more awake." Sophie, her yeti - personnal carrier gone, had curled up on the stairs of the porch and was already snoring softly, keeping in her small hands the chocolate egg which didn't want to leave her. Cupcake smacked Jamie on the back, let him think that it was a miracle that he was still on his feet, and singed "See you tomorrow!" before running off to her home. The boys, Monty, Claude and Caleb, walked more slowly, talking in hushed voices and moving their arms like some actors at a rehearsal. "Tss… they can't help with beginning now…" giggled Pippa. "Nah, that's the way they are!" reminded her Jamie. "So, I will get Sophie in her bed. See you tomorrow?" "Yes, but…" Pippa stilled, her cheeks reddened and she begun to wiggle her hands. "Are you OK?" asked Jamie, concerned. "Well, n-no… In fact, I… I left home so fast when you came with Jack Frost that I forgot to take my keys… and my door can't open without the keys, and my parents aren't there. Just my big brother is at my house. If I ring the bell, he will asked me so many questions, and he will call dad and mom, and I will be grounded, and I won't be able to come at our meeting, and that would be horrible… and… and…" If Pippa had begun her speech with some stuttering, she finishes it with such speed and sobs that Jamie understood just a few. "Hum, you could sleep at my house tonight. We will see in the morning what to tell to your parents and brother. But please, don't cry… I'm not good with crying people (especially girls, he thought)."
That stopped Pippa's sobs. She smiled shyly and stood near Sophie: « I will help you carry her". "Thanks. Let me open first the door… But, no noise. My parents wouldn't be … well, you know what I mean…" Pippa nodded and they carried with much struggles the sleeping Sophie up the stairs and into her bedroom. Pippa flopped on Jamie's bed and in a second she was asleep. When Jamie came back from the bathroom, he didn't have the heart (and the strength) to wake her up. He unrolled his sleeping bag on the carped and as quickly as his friend, he drift off to sleep. Far away from them, Sandman was pleased with his work. Jack Frost's first believers were all sleeping and having sweet dreams.
