Me: Hello again! How is life? For me it's going great, but don't expect any updates soon. We have this huge science project due soon so I'm going crazy over that. And this is the last chapter I have fully written. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. FML. Anyways if you are reading this, you must be sick of my rambling so let's get on with the story shall we?

G: Yes!

Autumn: Let's Go!

Jack: Please!

Summer: Come on!

Me: Wait one more thing

All Four: Augghhhh

Me: First, Hey! Summer you are a fictional personification of me! Traitor! To all you readers if you also want a treturous version of yourself, PM me with all the info you want and I'll try to add that person in (no guarantee if they survive). BUT! No more seasons or Guardians. That's it. ONWARD TOWARDS THE STORY!

All Four: Finally!


In Chapter 1: "I know," a voice called. "If Jack is the Spirit of Winter, then we just have to ask Manny to create a Spirit of Summer to balance him out!"

Facepalm.


I really wanted to walk up the the thing that said that and just backhand it so hard that it would still feel my hand in the next eon. Looking around I saw that it was the Thanksgiving Turkey that said that shit. Figures, it would take a birdbrain to say something that stupid and narrow minded.

Jack rolled his eyes.

"Turkey, there already is a Spirit of Summer, along with a Spirit of Spring, and a Spirit of Autumn."

"You're lying. I know about this stuff more than you, and if there was a Spirit of Summer, then he or she should should get off their lazy ass and do their job."

"WHAT?!" I blasted the air with a jet of flame. Everyone in the room turned their head and gasped when they finally realized I existed and was in their presence. A jet of flame couldn't appear out of nowhere, you know.

"That turkey is in some deep shit now." I heard someone mutter. True dat.

"Gurrlll," I adopted a stereotypical black woman voice. "You did not just say that."

"Yes I did." The future dinner-to-be stuck his chin out defiantly.

"You're going to get pitch slapped so hard your man-turkey boobs will concave." I loosely quoted from my current favorite movie "Pitch Perfect".

"What?" He asked. I was starting to get really pissed. You could tell because, once again, my hair was smoking.

"If you say that again I will slow roast you over my staff and serve you for next years Thanksgkving Feast, got it?" I threatened, lighting my staff to its hottest flame and holding it under the turkeys waddle. He whimpered.

"What was that?" I inched the flame closer.

"Yes, I understand!" He squeaked. I thought for a moment. I could take a bit more pleasure in seeing him tremble, but that would be sadistic and everyone was already staring at me. They knew we existed and I just displayed how powerful we were even in our unbelieved in form (although they didn't know that. Wait, they probably did, considering they didn't believe in us just moments ago.). I just stepped back, extinguished my staff, and smiled at him.

"Good."

My actions would seem cruel to you, but you have to understand. I represent Summer, both good and bad. Half of me is the Joy, but the other half is the evil side of me. Summer can bring horrible droughts that kill. Each season has their own evil side and they sometimes come out. That's just one of the things about being a season, and being one of the greater opposites (Summer and Winter) made me more in tune with my anger. As long as we didn't threaten the children we were ok (Don't be worried if you didn't get that. The only one who really understands the whole anger-somewhat-evil thing is Sin. Jack was the goody-two-shoes of us.).

Turning around to face everyone, I looked at each and every one of them.

"We exist and we are doing our jobs. We jus.."

"If you're doing your jobs, Summer," North came up and asked, "then why are the season's balance so messed up?"

"Because, North, you made him a Guardian. He's now believed in and way more powerful than us."

"Don't be jealous." the Turkey mumbled. I flashed him a heated glare (tee hee, get it?) and he instantly shrunk away.

"Is it bad." Jack Skellington from Halloween asked, good to know some people had common sense.

"Very." I replied.

"If we go," G picked up, "If we go then so do our centers and holidays. When Spring goes, St. Patrick's Day, April's Fools, Cinco de Mayo, and most importantly, Easter will go with it. Along with my center of Renewal, because that's what Spring represents."

"Then goes Autumn." Autumn continued, "When I go, with me goes Halloween, Thanksgiving..." Good riddance I thought "and my center of Imagination."

My turn

"After the other season's are gone, I'll be the last one before fading, also. Not much will go with me, besides maybe the Fourth of July, but my center of Joy will fade with me."

"And then Winter will take over the world before consuming itself. Holidays like Christmas, Hanukah, New Year's, Valentines Day, and my center, Fun will fade." Jack finished.

"So we have to find a way to balance our powers. We can't take away Jack's Guardianship, because that's stupid, won't do anything significant, and unfair, Jack earned the spot." I stated.

"So we need a way to boost our power." G added.

"We need find a way to be believed in." Autumn finished.

Silence.

Then. . .

"Liar!"

"Frauds!"

"Attention Hogs"

"We don't have to help you!"

Sin was staring at something in the distance. Following her gaze I saw the Moon? It was shinning brighter and brighter as a ray of moonlight fell on us, and spoke.

"Explain" Manny whispered, his voice echoing softly through out the room, quieting everybody.

"Explain. Great. 300 years of waiting and we get one word. Explain." I muttered to the other seasons.

"Hey, Be happy you got that." Jack chuckled. "I got to go on a death defying journey to defeat Pitch"

"True."

"Manny said explain, but what lets just show them" Jack suggested. We all agreed. (Did I mention Autumn had been staring at Jack the entire time. She'll deny this but it's true. Goo goo eyes nonstop and Jack wasn't much better. They had better get together soon or I would beat them with my staff.)

One of the more random powers the seasons had when joined together was the ability to project our memories. It was random and more of a Tooth's job kind of thing but what the hell.

We joined hands. On my left was G and on my right was Autumn, across from me was Jack. Concentrating on ourselves we started to intertwine.

The key was to our powers, big like this or simply using flames or creating snow, was to focus on your good things of season till you found your center. The better the focus and the happier the thoughts the better the magic. If you wanted to cause a snow storm or a the flu season or a drought, you focus on the bad but that's a different story.

I focused on all the good of Summer. Reaching into myself I found long days, short nights, and campfires. Green forests, blue skies, hot sun, and warm weather. I saw clear seas, felt warm sand and heard the sound undiluted laughter. That was the Sound of my center. That laughter was a true laugh. One's laugh when they felt the Joy of Summer. Joy and Summer's main theme was Freedom (technically I had two centers, Freedom and Joy, but since they were so close that just "Joy" worked. More on that later.). Summer was all about 3 months of no school and no worries. It was the season of Freedom and that Freedom was what allowed the children to laugh like that. Indestructible and free of all worries. I was Summer, Summer was Freedom, and Freedom was Joy. After finding my center I listened to the others.

On my left I heard G's center. Renewal. Spring was the season where life is starting to grow and the dead of winter is forced back. Spring was fresh flowers, tree buds, green shoots, and all the delicate things that couldn't survive through the winter but always came back. Like hope. G and Bunnymund got along so well because their centers went together so well. During Spring the hopes, dreams, and all that good stuff were Renewed in the children, but Hope was Renewed a lot more than the others. Renewal was new life and new life was silence. But it wasn't "silence" as weird as that sounds, it was. It was silence, but with the occasional wind whistle and bird chirp, that sound when you walk through the garden. We called it Silence, just to make our life easier. Silence was the sound of life slowly coming back. There is nothing more refreshing and Renewing in Spring than sitting there in silence and just soaking up and being part of the flora and fauna that was Renewing during spring.

On my right, Autumn was focusing on her own Sound. The crackle of leaves when kids jumped in. Autumn was Imagination. The ability look at a leaf pile and think of a thousand ways to play with it. She always made her leaves bright and colorful and, during her season, children would look at the colors and Imagine strange worlds and different places. Autumn was to be short, just ideas. She always had the plan or a game to play when we were bored, and she was never one to just sit there quietly. She was the playful one, so naturally her Sound was the most classic and her first idea. Leaf Jumping. Autumn wasn't only that, though. She was red, yellow orange, and brown, the knowledge and preparation of winter. But I think the preparation was also linked to her Imagination. I mean, someone had to think of the idea of jam and preserves. Mmmm jam.

Then there was Jack. Around him was the Sound of Fun. Wanna guess what it is? Only the most classic winter game ever. Snowball fights. Jack's Sound was the sound of a snowball fight. The light laughter, thump of snow on skin, and screams of delight. Now, Fun and Joy were two completely different things. Fun was temporary. It was happiness. You could have a snowball fight, but you'd soon have to head home and to dry off and warm up, and the next day there was still school. I think our biggest difference was Freedom. Jack, as carefree as he was, still had the burden of spreading snow. I just had to crank up the heat form the sun every year. It's just like school, Jack still had to work, while I had it easy. People called me lazy but fuck them.

*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*

As we joined forces, I could feel us literally merging into one greater being. It's not very important, for now, you just have to know that we could listen to each other mind's speak, you know, telepath.

"Ready?" I mind asked

"Yup"

"Uh-huh"

"Okey-dokey"

The floor under our feet started to glow. Red energy seeped from my feet, weaving my symbol into the floor under me. A flame. A green flower wove itself under G (seriously, it's like virtually impossible to tell why Manny decided to name him Green Bloom. *sarcasm*). An orange maple leaf under Autumn, and a blue snowflake under Jack. But wait! There's more!

Slowly but surly more energy seeped from us into the middle of our circle. Mixing together to create this god awful brown that should only be used as highlights (diva much?). From the perfect circle of brown, a tendril started spiraling outwards. After about three spirals, the tendril touched G's flower. Taking it's merry time, it slowly connected me, then Autumn, and then Jack into the circle. The moment the tendril connected back to G's flower, a white light flashed and we were connected.

In case you're wondering, that sign that was created was the symbol of the elements. A circle with the four elements and a spiral. It represented the unity we held and our balance.

We turned to the astounded audience.

"Manny asked us to explain." We all spoke at the same time. Oh mind speaking, what a joy.
"So we shall." But before we could continue, I broke off.

"But where do we start?" This had us all thinking. Of course Autumn had the answer.

"I think that we should start from our human lives and go on till we meet each other." We agreed that was a good idea.

"I'll go first." G offered "You've all heard Jack's story," he told the audience, "so let's go from eldest to youngest."

"Hey! That means I'll go last." Autumn protested.

"Haha" G stuck his tongue at her. I just looked at Jack. Seasons these days.

"Let's get on with it, shall we?" I asked.

Closing his eyes, G focused on his memories. His symbol on the floor glowed brighter and brighter until it was unbearable. I felt my conscience slip away as I was sucked into the memory.
