Everyone in his life dreamed at least one time to become famous. Pop stars, top models, fashion designers; but the one that people are really admiring are actors. Those artists play a big part in making a film come to life. They are the centre of the creation, the part that everyone will look up to. There are three reasons why someone will go watch a movie: because the movie is in their field of interest, because it is created by one of their favourite film-maker, or because their favourite actors is in it. Those pioneers from the seventh art are loved by everyone and got so many fans. I've always wanted to be part of this busy world, and now the chance was on my side.

My name is Jackson Overland, better known as Jack. I've turned seventeen six months ago on December 21st. Some weeks ago, I've audition for a role for a family movie with action and fantasy. I don't know if the name is still official, but I think that the name was Guardians of Childhood at first. I know it had guardians in the name at least. I received a call a few days earlier to tell me that I've been selected to play the main character of the movie: Jack Frost. Kind of ironic seeing we had a similar name. They told me I had the perfect shape to play this winter spirit. For once in my life, I was happy that my albinism had played in my favour. My skin is so pale that people thinks I'm always sick or not getting outside enough. Well I do have a sort of disease, but nothing too serious, and if I got outside without enough protection, I would burn like a steak on a barbecue. My hair is so blond that it looks white. Correction, it is white, no doubt about it. But the one thing that is freaking people out are my eyes. Some says they are perfect. They are a pure striking blue, like sapphire shining in daylight. This combo that followed me all my life is finally paying off. Now, I just had to cross my fingers that this movie would strike big in the show business.

I arrived at Dreamworks Studios in California for a meeting with the film crew and the other cast. I had only a briefing of what was the film about when I went for the audition, but I was eager to know more about it. When I arrived at the studio, I was amazed. It was like a small village, but even cooler than anything I have seen. As I passed the gates, I was discovering the wonders of the world that was Dreamworks. People weren't kidding when they were talking about this place like if it was some sort of Disneyland in its own kind. Beyond those doors were lying six acres of landscaped grounds with fountains, a river, a lagoon, walking paths and courtyards, along with 460 000 square feet of office space. The architecture and the style of the studio took their inspiration from the Mediterranean, with arches and towers finished in warm shades of ochre, russet and stone, silvery olive trees, lush bougainvillea and flowing water. I knew I would please myself here.

Of course, I had to ask for directions because this place was as huge as a maze. Fortunately for me, I crossed the path of two teens that looked to have my age. There was a blond girl with a big braid and blue eyes accompanied by a skinny boy about my size with brown hair and green eyes. There were all dress in leather and fur like if they were shooting a Viking film. They were kind enough to take some of their time to show me where the meeting rooms were. Thanks to them I didn't run out late for my first day of work. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about it. After all, I was a complete newbie in this category. All of the other actors I would encounter were surely more experimented than I was. One thing was sure, I would be looked down by at least one person.

When I entered, I saw there were at least four other persons that arrived. I didn't know if they were part of the film crew or if they were actors, but when I pushed that room's door, everyone looked at me. Oh great! It was the same as when I was at my high school. My parents weren't kidding when they told me that school was only the reflection of the real life. I took a deep breath and marched forward to go and greet my future co-workers.

"Hum…Hi", I said to everyone present in the room, "My name's Jack, and I'll be playing well…Jack", followed by a weak laugh.

The first one to come and great me was a very large man that looked like he was in the mid forties with black short hair and a beard and moustache from the same colour. He had eyes almost like mine but a bit darker. He was very intimidating. I don't know how many me would fit in this man, because he must have been at least 6'5" tall and five times larger than me, which wasn't very much of a record to beat really. I almost backed up against the door when he came to me. What followed surprised me thought as he took a hold of my shoulder's sides to lift me in the air and greet me with a warm smile.

"Dobro Pozhalovat'", he said cheerfully kissing both of my cheeks with the power of a gorilla before putting me down.

What had just happened? I was completely frozen on place after this. First of all, a stranger came to me, lift me off the ground like if I was just some kind of feather and kissed me while speaking in a strange language that I didn't know. Well, that was beginning well. I was already completely lost in all this fuss created by one man. That was until another man a little bit shorter than the monster that almost ate me a few seconds ago came to join our party. This man was almost as slender as me with a skin so pale that it almost looked grey. He had black hair combed back in a messy way with silver-gold eyes, looking like eclipses that were almost shining like those of cats in the dark. He was wearing a black suit and looked more civilized than the one who just hugged me. Coffee in hand, he greeted me with a British accent:

"Apologies from my co-worker here", he started, "he lacks a bit in manners."

"It is not lacking in manners, it is how we greet people in my country", replied the big man in his defence. His accent sounded a bit Slave, Russian I think.

"Well we are not in Russia here Nicholas", continued the slender man before turning back to me holding out his hand, "My name is Kozmotis Pitchiner. But you will surely refer to me more by Pitch, my character's name."

"Hum…yeah", I answered shaking his hand, "it's a pleasure. Kind of an odd name though", laughing nervously trying to not vex him.

"I know", he said smirking a bit, "It's what I get for having parents obsessed by astronomy. And of course you met Nicholas who will be playing North", pointing the man at his right.

"Just call me Nick", the one name Nicholas said with a big smile.

"Nice to meet you", I answered not wanting to shake his hand of fear he would break it.

Both of the men mimicked me to go meet the other members of the cast, which I did. There were two other persons sitting at the back of the room: a short chubby blond guy that had hazel eyes so clear that it was almost amber, and brown feathered hair girl with amethyst eyes (must have been contacts). Kozmotis who was following me along with Nick made the presentations:

"Here we have Andy Mansnoozie, playing the role of the Sandman", he begin pointing the little man who nodded back at me as a sign of greeting, "and there is our only actress, Ana Rashmi who will personify the Tooth Fairy."

"Hi", she replied with a sweet smile.

"Hey", I answered. They all seemed at ease with the situation that it made me feel like a complete beginner, which I was but was not the best feeling I liked to experience. At first sight, they all seemed nice, even the big guy. Sure he was towering, but he seemed good at heart.

"Sooo…" the girl named Ana began, "Is that you first movie?"

"Well", I started just before being cut short by the door opening revealing a tall guy with greyish hair, seeming to not be in the best mood.

"Crikey! This place is a real maze!" said the stranger closing the door behind him.

"I was wondering if you would get here someday", commented Kozmotis with a smirk, "I was about to send a search party for you."

"Rack off Pitchiner!" the other answer angrily.

"You should mind your words Evan", said the only female present in the room, "you're making a rash first impression on our new colleague here."

The Evan mentioned turned around to look at me. He was really tall, I would say 6'0"…no more like a 6'1". He was well built and with his look, he was surely the most admired actor among the fangirls. Facing each other, we were the complete opposite. His tan and shape were way better than mine. He had some sort of tribal tattoos on both upper arms, almost looking like one of those suffers of Los Angeles, if you kick out the blond douchbag hairstyle. His was almost looking like the one of Wolverine in X-men, except shorter. Now that I was thinking about it, I could have sworn he was his twin. So I was in the presence of the big star that played the new version of one of my favourite movies?! Wow! It felt so much different to see him in real in front of me. His character matched a lot the one of his previous movies.

"Who's the ankle bitter?" asked the tattooed man with a tick Australian accent, looking at me like if I was some sort of runt. That remark hit me right on my nerves. He may be a great actor, it didn't gave him the right to be rude with me when we haven't even met.

"The name's Jack", I answered a bit pissed, crossing my arms, "and I would like to point out to you Kangaroo that I'm not a kid anymore."

That last nickname I decided to attribute him made laugh the whole room, except the new owner of it of course, who made a surprised expression. He looked like if nobody ever stood up to defy him. Well, he would have to work hard with me, because I'm not one to get step on the head so easily.

"The what?" he said frowning his dark fuzzy brows and walking toward me, "What did ye called me?! Ah'm not a kangaroo mate!"

"Oh really", I replied nagging him as much as possible, "Well your accent is telling me otherwise. I could have called you koala if you prefer."

From the corner of my eyes I could see Nick bursting out in laugh while Kozmotis was holding a hand to his mouth trying to contain his laugh. Ana was doing the same as the slender man and Andy had a big smile on his face, he seemed entertained to watch us get on each other's nerves. Evan suddenly gripped me by the collar of my shirt lifting me a bit in the air.

"Ye better watch yer tongue snowball, or yer gonna feel tha power of mah fist in yer pretty face", he said his tone irritated by my comments.

"You know", I replied with playful tone like if what he had said didn't impress me, "truth shocks, and usually when someone comes to a fist fight is because he has no more argument", I finished with a smirk at the corner of my lips.

I don't know what angered him the most, the fact he was out of argument, or that I was right and have won this friendly battle. He let go of me, obviously wanting to punch me, but restrained himself of doing so. That's when we heard clapping sounds. Both of us turn around to meet with I guess were the filmmakers. They seemed happy with how the situation turned out. I wonder how they would have reacted if I had gotten punch in the face. The makeup artists would have had to do a marvellous job to hide the beautiful marks, because I doubt the Australian would have go with soft hand on me. The trio walked to us, greeting us by shaking our hands. One of them, a black man with butch black hair, presented himself as Peter the film director. Seemed like a nice guy to me. The two others were part of the scrip writing crew. One that was in charge of the screenplay named David, and the other that seemed really sympathetic and obviously the oldest here presented himself as William, the author of the series. They all invited us to take a seat so they could brief us on the project.

"Well I'm happy that you get all along", Peter joked while sitting down.

"I don't know if 'getting along' is the best choice of words", I commented laughing, just to make a good impression that I wasn't really impressed by the attitude of mister Evan.

"Well at least you fit perfectly your characters", said William laughing with me.

After hours of discussions on explaining to us the schedules, the plot and the characters, they handed out to us the script. I was really eager to start filming, especially after seeing for real how would be my character. My role would be an immortal being, loner, and a classic rebel without a cause, sarcastic and mischievous. That was so me! I already like that Old Man Winter that turned out to be a teen in this version. I knew now why so much people wanted to become part of the film industry. It was a world where all of our fantasy was becoming reality, where nothing was impossible. And now, I was the main star of one of those upcoming movies that would make people dream. This would be the beginning of my career. To me, there was nothing better than staring in a movie that was called "Rise of The Guardians".

NEW STORY!

It's been running in my head for a while now, and I'm pretty happy to have finally begin it.

So in this AU, the guardians we know are the real actors. There is no Hugh Jackman, Chris Pine or Jude Law living in this Alternate Universe (I'm sorry for all those fans of them, I am one of those). That is why I wrote that Evan (AKA Bunny) was the staring role of Wolverine in X-men. But since I didn't want him to be like 30 or 40 years old, I said that he was the new version from X-Men Origins. So Evan is turning in the twenties.

I will warn you, there will be a pairing in this fict, and it will be Jack X Evan. And before some of you tell me that Jack is minor, I will explain something to you. Where I come from (Canada), here the legal age is 18 years old (19 for BC). So when he'll begin to hook up with Evan, Jack will be an adult to me even if the story happens in America. Anyway, it's not like if teens were waiting to have the legal age to go out with older people. XD

So I hope you enjoyed this new story. I prioritize the other RotG fanfict over this one, so maybe it will take a bit much more time to update, but I'll try to keep up a good update rhythm.
