Hey everyone! I'm normally in the Grimm and Iron Man section, but I love Rise of the Guardians so much I just had to write something. I do not own any of the Dreamworks characters from the original movie, I only own the OC's I create.
I really hope you like it! Please tell me what you think! Enjoy everyone and thank you!

Seasons May Change
"Woohoo!" Jack yelled as the wind carried him around his home. It was the last week of winter and he planned to make the most of it. Forget Easter for a minute and just do what he was made to do; have fun. He loved it when the wind picked up and just let him surf around. He gave the ground a little extra frost; it would thaw by morning anyways. He laughed as people slipped on the ice and shivered.
He finally took a break on top of a building and smiled at his lovely handiwork.
Sure he was a Guardian now, but that didn't mean he couldn't indulge just a bit.
He sat back and smiled, letting the wind and snow go through him. He would miss winter, but at least he could hang out in his favorite places up north. Still it wasn't as much fun once spring came around. As much as he loved to spread some chaos, he knew better than to get in the way of the season's jobs. It would be unnatural to have snow at the beach in July anyways.
He was about to go towards the lake and cause some chaos there instead, when he noticed it.
He turned and saw the lights in the sky.
"Oh no." he muttered, that could only mean one thing.
As fast as he could, he ordered the wind to carry him to North's castle.
…
"Sup Phil!" Jack smiled at the yeti who was always the first one to greet him at the gates. He carried his staff over his shoulder as he waltzed right in. Now that he was a Guardian, Jack was allowed at the North Pole anytime he liked, just so long as he stayed out of trouble; not that he was able to that much.
He strutted inside, feeling pretty good about himself and finally saw the other four.
He noticed they looked bored and anxious. Probably because they were all waiting for him.
"Finally!" Bunny said, rolling his eyes, "Took you long enough."
"Hey, we can't all have snow globes and tunnels." Jack shrugged. Yeah he was late, but since when was he ever on time?
"So what's going on?" Tooth asked North, buzzing around with her fairies, obviously very distracted and anxious.
North walked over to the globe with the lights on it. He pressed a button Jack had never noticed before and suddenly, the lights were accompanied by different colored lights.
"O…K…" Jack said, "You added a new feature to the globe?" he laughed.
"No, Jack, those lights represent everyone." Tooth said, nearly breathless.
"What? I thought the globe was just for kids, you saying adults believe in us too?" Jack asked.
"No." Frost corrected, "The colored lights represent everyone who is making a difference in some small way on the earth; they are the ones who create, lead, teach, heal…"
"So what does that have to do with us?" Jack asked, "I thought Guardian's took care of kids."
"We do, Jack, but something is happening now that won't just affect the children…it will affect everyone." North said, leading them around to look at the moon through the panel in the ceiling. North pressed another button and on the other side of the ceiling, a panel opened up and the sun shone through.
"The Man in the Moon and Mother Earth have been speaking to each other." North whispered. They noticed on the floor as both lights from the moon and the sun touched, creating a brighter light in the floor.
"That hasn't happened in a long time." Bunny said, looking serious.
"Wait, you mean Mother Earth is actually the sun?" Jack asked, in awe of what he was seeing.
"Of course, Jack." North said, still watching the lights.
"So…what does she do?" Jack asked.
"Hush now…we are about to find out what is going on." North said.
The lights turned down and a shadowy figure was shown to them.
"Pitch." Jack said, his eyes narrowing.
"No, no…that's not Pitch…" Bunny said, getting closer, but also getting fearful.
"Who is it?" Tooth asked.
Sandy started to look nervous and above his head, the figure of a skull showed up.
"Death…" North gasped.
"What?" Jack asked.
"Hades…" North said and closed his eyes, "I should have known he was up to no good."
"It's gotta be real bad if Mother Earth and the Man in the Moon have to come together like this." Bunny said.
"Is Hade's one of us?" Jack asked.
"No, he is a creation of Mother Earth." North said.
The shadowy figure disappeared and the floor separated. Before anyone could react, a crystal rose up from the floor; the very crystal that was used years before to initiate Jack as a Guardian.
"Another one?" Bunny said.
"So soon?" Tooth said as well.
"But who?" North said, getting closer.
They all watched as the lights got brighter and a shape appeared above the crystal.
Jack looked closer, but had no clue who it was. It was obviously a girl with long flowing hair down to her back covered in flowers.
"Persephone?" Bunny said, looking a little excited, "Now that is a Guardian!"
"Who's Persephone?" Jack asked.
Everyone seemed to smile at this.
"She's the one who creates the spring and summer life." Tooth said, smiling. "She makes the flowers bloom, the trees grow tall, and the animals come together…"
"Wait, you mean…that's Spring?" Jack asked, pointing to the figure above the crystal.
"And Summer." North said, "But because she is in charge of both we all call her by her true name of Persephone."
"I thought she was a myth?" Jack said.
"Hello, we all are according to legends." Bunny laughed, "She's anything but, mate."
"I've never seen her." Jack said.
"Well of course not, she'd have a cow if you messed with her work." Bunny laughed, "Heck mate she has. You know…1968…" he glared at Jack.
Jack grinned, "Oh…I see, no wonder you like her…she's good for Easter."
"Exactly." Bunny smiled.
"So you've all met her?" Jack asked.
"I have not." North admitted, "But Bunny and Sandy tell me only good things about her."
Jack had to admit that this chick sounded a bit like a goody-too-shoes princess to him.
"Oh Jack, you'll adore her, she's so creative and happy." Tooth said, "I've only ever met her once, but she is a gem."
Sandy nodded as a flower bloomed above him.
"Okay, so…what, she gets to be a Guardian now? For what? What does she do for the kids?" Jack asked.
"Hey!" Bunny said, getting defensive, "I'll tell you what she does, mate, she does everything! But not just for kids, she does it for the world."
"Okay, fine, so…what you wanna stuff her in a sack and get her here then?" Jack said, going to sit down. Maybe steal something to eat from the kitchens while he waited.
"Actually, Jack…we think you should go." North said.
"What?" Jack said, annoyed, "Why not send her number one fan, Bunny?"
Bunny glared again and tapped his foot angrily causing a hole to appear and North to fall through. Tooth and Bunny grabbed him in time and pulled him up.
"Sorry, mate." Bunny said, smiling at North.
North brushed himself off and for once, Jack wasn't laughing, "Why do I have to go get her royal highness?"
"Because, you have not met her yet, she will be delighted." North said, "Just think, it will help you both reconcile season differences and to get acquainted. Is very humbling."
"Besides," Tooth interjected, "You can learn more about her in an unbiased way. Think about it, we've all met her but you. She would feel very relaxed being among a newer Guardian. She won't feel so intimidated."
"Oh, I'll make sure that happens." Jack muttered, smiling. Maybe he could have a little fun with Miss Prissy Pants. He'd show her a thing or two.
He looked up and decided that he couldn't win this one. He sighed.
"Fine, I'll go. But get me a snow globe; I ain't flying with a wailing girl the whole way here."
