Sitting in the window sill of the North Pole I looked up at the big full moon. It had been a month since I had become a guardian and I had never been happier. Sure, it was true that I only had a few believers but that was good enough for now.
Hopefully there would be more eventually but for now I was the happiest person ever.
The moon above me smiled and I had to resist the urge to wave. The silvery light was shining brightly above me maybe even more than usual. Actually it was shinning brighter than usual. MiM was trying to tell me something.
"Um North..." I called down to the big man.
"Yes Jack?" North yelled up to me.
"You might want to call the guardians! Man in the moon is making a house call!"
The big man looked through the window and nodded at the brightly shining moon.
"Moon looks ready to pop must be big news." The bright reflection shone on the ground and showed the silhouette of me on the ground. "Looks like man in moon wants to talk to you Jack."
I floated down to the ground where my face was being shone in light blue. The light condensed until it was the size of my fist. Almost involuntarily I held my hand out and the light dropped into my open palm. It was heavy and cold- almost like metal. The soft glow faded and what I held in my hand was a medal or a coin of some sort.
It was as big as my fist, bright gold, and covered in a bright snowflake pattern.
"What the..." I began before north slapped me on the shoulder.
"Man in moon has a mission for you apparently." He said.
"But what?" I looked up at the big man.
From the look on his face I expected some deep answer but he merely shrugged. "No idea"
On the coin I could see a note with silvery pen on the gold. "Dear Jack, since becoming a guardian there has been a problem. A very important child needs your help. I will send you to this place. The coin is to be given to the child you must help. Spread fun. Be brave. Good luck. -Man in the Moon.
"Oh that isn't vague" I said sarcastically.
North nodded. "Yes for man in moon that is un-characteristically straight."
I shook my head, even after hundreds of years traveling the world he still doesn't understand sarcasm.
"So when do I go there?" I asked the moon above me. To answer me the bright silvery light returned and began swirling around me like snow. I was lifted off the ground without any effort from me. Holding tight to my staff and the golden coin the light spun me faster. Just as the spinning reached its peak and I felt like I was going to be sick I felt like I was being shot through a cannon and everything stopped.
It was quiet and I had my eyes shut tight. I had been knocked out by the magic or something because my head felt like it had been pounded with a stick. I brought my hands to my face and rubbed my still closed eyes.
Wait. One. Second. My hands? Where was my staff and the coin? Opening my eyes I was almost blinded by the color. My world existed mostly in shades of white and blue. Even North's workshop had a mostly dark red color scheme. But the scene before my eyes was an explosion of bright pinks and sugar like sparkles and sheens.
I expected it to be quiet like the woods usually were but it wasn't totally silent. There weren't any animal sounds- though I can honestly say that I wasn't used to animal sounds because of winter. No, what I heard was a song. Only a few notes reached my ears but out of curiosity I stood.
Looking around I tried to search for the source of the music and was instead stopped by the sights around me. Everything as made out of candy. It looked like that funny little show that Sophie liked to watch on tv.
The trees were all made of candy canes, bright whites and reds. The ground was what looked like frosting and there was every type of candy you can imagine strewn around the ground. I chuckled slightly to myself thinking how appalled Tooth would be of this place.
Resisting the urge to eat everything around me I searched again for the place that little song was emanating. On a hill a little ways off was a giant tree and I ran to that tree to find that it overlooked a giant valley. In this valley were the huge words SUGAR RUSH written in what seemed to be chocolate and pink sprinkles. The song was made up of of the two words written on the ground and the song seemed like a theme song for a tv show.
Where in the universe was I? And where was my staff and the coin? Looking around I saw a glint at the top of one of the trees. There hung the golden coin on the very top branch of a weird candy cane tree. At the moment it didn't matter where I was all that mattered was finding my staff and getting that coin.
Wrote this forever ago. Hope you enjoy! I know it's really short they will get longer.
five reviews and I post the next chapter!
