Chapter 2: The Disappointment
Jack's PoV
As I had arrived at the doors of Jamie's bedroom window, there was somebody in his room. Her skin shimmered, as it looked like she was singing. She stood there at the foot of Jamie's bed. I stood in the air, leaning on my staff as I listened to her sing her song.
Emily's PoV
"Come little child
I'll take thee away, into the land of enchantment
Come little child
The time has come to play, here in my garden of magic."
After I finished my song, I saw Jamie's lips form a smile onto his face.
"Goodnight Jamie," I whispered as I walked away from the little boy's bed and towards his window. When I had turned around to face the window, a boy with white hair, pale skin and blue eyes was standing right there. He had a blue sweatshirt on with tan pants and no shoes on. Strange, I thought.
"Whoa, nice song," the boy said as I walked closer to the window.
"Thanks." I started to reach for my red Harley, but the boy had pushed it towards me. I guess he noticed that I couldn't reach it.
"Nice Harley."
"Thanks. Everyone loves the Harley," I said with a smile. The boy chuckled at my sentence.
"Who are you?" I asked in an intrigued way as I hopped onto the Harley.
"I'm Jack Frost. You know, the one who saved the world from the Boogieman a few years back,"Jack said as he started to walk on an electricity pole wire, while he covered it with ice at each step he took.
"Oh... so you're the guy my uncle complains about."
"Uncle?"
"My Uncle Bunnymund. You might know him as the Easter Bunny."
"So, your Emily Kringle. The Caroler?" Jack asked in a curious way.
"That would be me. Wait, how do you know me?"
"Your dad's North right?"
"Hm. Yeah." I knew how he had found out about me as soon as he spoke my dad's name.

Emily seemed to be curious. She kept sighing and had a look on her face, like she was confused.
"Why are you here?" Emily asked as she turned to face me instead of in front of her.
"I came for my daily check on Jamie. What about you?"
"My job." I had to lighten up her mood. She seemed to be lost in her emotions. After all, I was the Guardian of fun.
"Hey, you want to race back to the workshop?" I asked.
"Your on." Emily started to rev her Harley as her engine roared out dream dust. The kind that Sandy used.
"Ready... set."
"Go."
Emily's Harley roared as she sped up ahead of me, but that was only because I wanted her to feel like she was winning. I pushed forward and was about a mile ahead of her. I laid on my back and waved to her. She looked like she was laughing as she pointed at me. I didn't know why, until I turned around and saw that I was headed for a brick building. Luckily, I turned around and saw it just in time to avoid it. She sped up to me while golden dream dust had passed by us, as it streamed and swirled into houses.
"Right on time Sandy," we both said at the same time, accidentally. Now, we were right by each others side. I hadn't realized that she had her gray hood, that was on her cloak, on. We raced faster and faster, until we made it to the workshop.
"I won," I said just to tease her, when it really was a draw.
"No, I did."
"Quiet you two," Bunnymund said. He looked a little mad, until he looked at Emily and smiled a little.

"Nice speed," I complimented to Jack as I ran towards my favorite uncle and hugged the furry thing.
"Hi Uncle Bunnymund."
"Hi Emily."
"You have been chosen my dear," my father said with the biggest smile on his face.
"To be a Guardian, but why? What for dad?" I asked as I slowly retrieved my hands, as they were wrapped around Uncle Bunnymund's neck.
"Yes, and no one knows why they are chosen my dear. You know that and now, music." The next thing I knew, elves and yeti's streamed around me with drums and instruments and two yeti's had swirled batons, that were on fire, around me.
"Not the music," I said as I tried to cover my ears, but the next thing I knew, two other yeti's picked me up by my arms,carried me to the front of my dad, then placed me back on the floor. A yeti had walked up to my dad at that moment, and handed him a book, which he had started to repeat the Guardian Oath from.
"Emily Kringle do you..."
"NO," I shouted.
"Look dad, I think Maney has made a mistake this time. I'm not a big bunny who brings hope to every child, a sandman that brings pleasant dreams to all children, a tooth fairy that reminds all the children of their great memories, you, who brings wonder to the world, or even Jack Frost, who brings fun to every child on this earth," I said as I pointed at every Guardian. Dad seemed disappointed. I started to back away from him, I then turned around and ran to my Harley. I couldn't be a Guardian. I wasn't amazing like the others. I bet I wasn't even important to the children. All I did was sing to them while they were sleeping.
"I'm sorry that I have disappointed you dad, but I'm not amazing like you." I said as I turned my head around to face my dad. I took off with my Harley and thoughts, at that moment. I wasn't headed for anywhere specific. I just wanted to be alone and drive fast. I cried a little, while the wind tugged at my hair. I wanted to be a Guardian and make my dad proud, but all I did was sing and anybody could do that.
