Here we go Chapter 2, sorry this one is so short, but it's getting close to finals week so plenty of stress to go around. This chapter is from Jack's POV, I will be bouncing back and forth between Mother Nature's and Jack's periodically throughout, even though it will mostly be from MN's POV. Also this whole plot takes place 1 year later than the events of the movie. So Enjoy!

"What's going on?" Jack asked as the moon beams opened a small trap door in the middle of the Guardians meeting area.

"The Man in the Moon is choosing a new guardian," North said with his thick Russian accent.

"Why?" I don't think we're under threat from anything?" the Easter Kangaroo asked.

"Must mean something's up," Tooth said.

"Who do you think it's gonna be?"

"Please not the groundhog…please not the groundhog." Muttered Bunny, seriously what was his issue with the Groundhog.

The image that was projected by the moon beams through the crystal was a woman with long hair flowing freely around her, she was wearing a long dress, her hands were raised upwards, she looked regal, and at the same time she looked vaguely familiar to Jack, but he couldn't quite place where he'd seen her.

"MOTHER NATURE!" Exclaimed North, Bunny, and Tooth all at once. Well now Jack knew why she seemed familiar. He'd bumped across her a few times over the last three centuries but they had never spoken to one another.

"You have got to be kidding Manny," North said, looking up at the moon looking, betrayed?

"What's wrong with Mother Nature?" Jack asked

"She's too unpredictable mate, not to mention she doesn't play well with others."

Sandy just stood off to the side not making a fuss, just floating quietly, it almost seemed like he was lost in thought.

"So she doesn't play well with others, neither do I, but here I am."

"You don't understand Jack, she likes to stay neutral, save for a few occasions, but she doesn't choose a side, and the Man in the Moon should know that." Tooth said exchanging glances with the rest of the Guardians, as if they knew something I didn't.

"Well we at least have to try and see if she'll join us."

"Fine then you can go get her mate, and best of luck too ya," the Pooka was also looking rather nervously around the group, Sandy was staring at the moon almost as if they were having a conversation.

Jack shot up into the clear sky, excited that he was basically free to go anywhere. After he became a guardian sure he could still have fun and do some of the stuff he could before but it was more limited because of his Guardian duties. Although he couldn't shake the feeling that the Guardians knew something that he didn't.

He wondered if Jamie would be out of school yet? It was autumn so Jack had a little leeway when it came to making stuff freeze. He landed by the pond where he was "born" and saw Jamie and someone else walking over in his direction. He didn't know who the other person was, they were taller than Jamie but they were about Jack's height. As they got closer he realized it was a girl, about his age, with long black hair that went down past her knees, she was wearing a green hooded sweatshirt as far as Jack could tell, she also had a bag hanging at her side.

Again sorry for the short chapter, once we get past the first week of May I hope to have chapters coming more frequently.
