Wishing on a Star

The Snowy White Pooka

Chapter 1: Movie-Night at the Bennetts' and a Wish

"Take me home, wind!"

The whistling cold breeze caressed his skin, taking him off the Eiffel Tower. Jack grinned broadly and closed his eyes, letting her direct his course and bring him back to the US. Five new believers in one week. The time in France had been good. It had only been a couple of weeks, but he had spend them to make this winter in Paris the most memorable possible.

Five years.

It had been five years since they had defeated Pitch. Him and the guardians. The other guardians, that is. Yes, five years since he had become a guardian himself. The Guardian of Fun. And he had spend all his time trying to gain more believers, trying to spread joy and fun. The job was hard. Well, for the first time he actually viewed it as a job. Before, he had just stopped by wherever he wanted and brought snow. Now, he had to make plans and make children believe in him and the other guardians. Aside from finally having something to do, a purpose in his life, he also had... people to return to. The other guardians. They met up once a month, even if some meetings only lasted for an hour, at least they saw each other and kept up with what the others were doing.

It was good having them. It was nearly as if he had a family again. North was so much like the smothering father, always making sure that Jack knew that he could return to the workshop whenever he grew tired or wanted company. Sandy was the bad-ass big brother and Tooth was that dotting big sister. There was just one that didn't quite fit... Jack couldn't figure out which part Bunny was playing in this. Sure, in the past years since Jack had become a guardian, he and the kangaroo had gotten along somehow. He was constantly pranking Bunny and the Pooka was taking it lightly, playing along even though he acted annoyed and grumpy, there was always a certain fondness that Jack couldn't quite explain. Every prank ended with them playing a friendly round of catch, the overgrown rabbit chasing Jack through the whole workshop until both collapsed exhausted in front of North, who would laugh and offer them cookies and milk.

Going with that, Jack could say that Bunny was that easily-annoyed big brother, but thinking of the Pooka like that felt wrong. Because there was this fluttery feeling he always got when they were chasing each other. And even though he spend more time with the other three guardians – he often watched Sandy work at night and sat with him, and since him and Baby Tooth had been through so much together he also frequently visited the Tooth Palace and the workshop was like a second home anyway – he still enjoyed the time with the Pooka the most. It made him feel warm, even though warm was not what he normally liked, but this was a cozy kind of warmth and not an uncomfortable one. And the Pooka's fur was so incredibly soft and fluffy! And he felt somehow connected to Bunny. Sometimes, whenever nightmares of his solitude were plaguing him after another child had failed to believe in him and walked right through him, he would go to the Warren and just... sit there with Bunny. The Easter Bunny was the only one who understood what it felt like to be walked through. It didn't even need words then, it was as if the kangaroo knew exactly why Jack came, because the rabbit would refrain from making jabbing comments and just offer company.

Then there were the things Bunny's voice did to Jack. It made him shudder and send a tingly feeling through his body. As did the strong, lean body. Watching Bunny train with his boomerangs was the most enchanting thing Jack could imagine.

It had taken Jack a visit in Burgess to understand his own feelings. Not that he would share what he had learned with anyone. It had been only recently, about half a year ago, that he had visited his very first believer and best friend Jamie, just to learn something very astonishing about himself...

/flashback\

Jack grinned broadly as he hung upside-down at the window. Though what he saw inside made his grin turn into a frown. The brunette teenager sitting on the bed looked unhappy. And Jack really didn't like seeing his best friend unhappy.

"Hey, Jamie! What's up?", asked the winter spirit cheerfully and burst into the room.

The human started and stared at him wide-eyed. The unhappy look was soon replaced by a happy grin as Jamie jumped up to greet his friend. Jack swallowed hard as they hugged. Jamie had grown again, was by now even taller than the white-haired former human. It was hard seeing the boy age and grow, because it only reminded Jack of Jamie's mortality.

"Jack! I wouldn't have thought I'd see you again before the next winter", grinned Jamie.

"Well, I thought a little late snowfall would be nice", smirked the guardian.

"That's great!", laughed the boy delighted and fell back onto his bed. "Where have you been?"

"I've been to Russia and Germany for a bit", replied Jack leisurely. "But more important, how are you? You didn't look very happy when I came. Did something happen?"

"Uh... I...", started Jamie and blushed brightly, averting his eyes.

"Come on, I'm your friend, right?", hummed the Guardian of Fun worried. "You can tell me."

"I... think I'm in love", whispered Jamie barely audible.

"L... Love...?", repeated Jack slowly, tasting the word on his tongue.

"Yeah. With Cadence", nodded the brunette solemnly.

"Cadence?", frowned the white-haired male.

"Cupcake. But we don't call her that anymore. We're no kids anymore", chuckled Jamie and rolled his eyes, a faint blush covering his cheeks. "We're... really close now. You know, before we met you, we've never been friends. But now... I don't want to picture being without her anymore."

"That's what love is...?", asked Jack, his frown deepening.

"What kind of question is that?", laughed his mortal friend amused.

"Well...", shrugged the guardian awkwardly, blushing a bit himself. "I've not been seen by anyone for so long, why should I have ever wasted a thought on the concept of love...?"

"I guess that's right", nodded Jamie thoughtful. "Okay. Well, yeah, that's what love is. That you really like someone and enjoy spending time with them the most and you don't want to imagine life without them, because everything is just... better as long as you're together. Damn, I shouldn't watch all of those cheesy movies Sophie wants me to watch."

Jack nodded occasionally while Jamie kept talking about how school was and how awesome Cadence/Cupcake was. His own thoughts however raced faster than the Northern winds.

/flashback|end\

The winter spirit had spend the last few months mulling over this information. It had helped him piece together what part Bunny played in his life. A very important one. It had been the Pooka's rejection that had weighed more than any other back during their fight against Pitch, nothing had ever hurt Jack more than ruining Easter. Now that he had gotten a second chance with the guardians, he truly enjoyed his time with Bunny the most. Whenever he was all alone, he would yearn to be close to the overgrown kangaroo.

Now that he had come to terms with the fact that he was madly and completely in love with Bunny, he was giddy to return to Burgess and see how much progress his best friend had made in the past half year. Finally reaching the window of Jamie's bedroom, he burst right into the house.

"Ah!", screamed several voices as snow spilled into the room, accompanied by the spirit.

Jack laughed as he laid upside-down on the bed, right next to his first believer and best friend. His ice-blue eyes stared at the heap of blankets and pillows and teenagers. Cupcake – no, Cadence, he needed to keep that in mind now, really – laid next to Pippa, the two girls wearing pink nightdresses. On Pippa's other side were Monty and the twins, Caleb and Claude wearing blue pajamas. They all had grown so much, were so mature now. It made Jack's heart ache.

"Jack!", exclaimed all teenagers amazed before clomping him.

The Guardian of Fun laughed as he was nearly suffocated by all of them, his friends and believers asking questions over questions, demanding to know where he last was and how the other guardians were and how often he visited them and many more.

"Slow down, guys", chuckled the white-haired boy, trying to emerge from them.

They parted slowly and surrounded him with eager eyes. Jamie was the first to speak up.

"What are you up to, Jack? You haven't been around for so long! Where were you?"

"France, mainly", shrugged the Guardian of Fun leisurely. "It was a snowy autumn for them. And then I spend some time in Russia. I missed you guys though! What have you been up to?"

"We have that new teacher at school!", started Caleb, just to be interrupted by his brother.

"She's like amazing and all! I mean, she's really hot and totally cool."

"And she's a good teacher", added Monty with a huff and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah", dismissed the twins and rolled their eyes at him.

"She's always in on our pranks even", grinned Pippa mischievously. "She even helped us once pulling a prank on our director!"

"Sounds cool", nodded Jack, noticing how Jamie seemed awfully quiet as he kept staring over at Cadence. "And what subject does she teach?"

"History", replied Cadence, giving him a broad smile. "But it's not boring with her! Miss Hallows is really good at telling stories, she even manages to make them sound like ghost stories."

"And do you like her too, Jamie?", asked the winter spirit curiously.

"Huh?", blinked the oldest Bennett-child, staring up at him.

"He asked if you like Miss Hallows, dumbo", snorted Cadence and rolled her eyes.

Jamie blushed and Jack knew instantly that no, his best friend had obviously not told Cupcake how he felt. Coughing slightly, the brunette teen shifted a bit.

"Uh... Sure", shrugged Jamie awkwardly. "I mean, she's nice and pretty."

The Guardian of Fun had to stiffen a laugh at the jealous glare Cadence send him. It seemed Jamie's feelings were not as unrequited as he feared. But it wasn't quite Jack's place to say.

"Anyway, what have you guys been doing before I interrupted?", smiled the snow-bringer.

"We wanted to watch a movie. Do you want to stay?", asked Pippa and tilted her head.

"What kind of movie?", inquired the white-haired eternal teen.

"Avatar. I found it in my parents' DVD shelf when I had to clean earlier today and thought we could rewatch it after all this time", replied Jamie and got up to put the DVD into the player.

"What's it about?", blinked Jack confused.

"If you don't know, you should simply watch it", laughed Cadence and shook her head.

She got up to sit down next to Jack, followed by Pippa and Monty, squeezing down on Cadence's other side. As Jamie turned around to get back onto his bed, he blinked surprised. Blushing a bit, he sat down on the free spot between Cadence and Jack, the twins soon hurrying to lay sprawled in front of them, the bed groaning under the weight. Jack smirked mischievously, slowly pushing Jamie closer to Cadence while the Bennett-boy pressed play.

/break\

"So wait...", grunted Jack very confused, about two hours later. "The human guy falls in love with a giant, humanoid, blue alien cat and everyone is fine with that because he turns into one himself...?"

His brows were furrowed in utter confusion as he stared from one of his friends to the other. The teenagers laid around him, all holding their stomachs in laughter at the ridiculous expression on his face. Trying to breath deep, Jamie was the first to regain his calm.

"Yeah. I mean, it would have been awkward if Jake would have stayed in his wheelchair and been together with her, but now it's alright", shrugged the brunette boy amused.

The winter spirit's brows furrowed further, causing Jamie's amusement to slowly die down. He couldn't remember ever seeing the Guardian of Fun so serious and deep in thought.

"Jack?", asked Cadence softly, smoothing her pink dress. "Are you alright?"

Ice-blue eyes blinked a couple of times and stared at her. The grumpy, chubby girl had changed so much in the past five years, it made his heart swell with pride. Fun and friendship had done wonders to her. Blinking again, he shook his head.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just a lot on my mind", chuckled the white-haired teen.

"Your guardian-duties are certainly quite the burden sometimes, eh?", grinned Pippa.

"Oh crap!", yelped Jack wide-eyed and bolted off the bed.

"Jack? Wait up!", called Monty confused, the teens all hurrying to the window.

Just before he truly flew off into the night sky, Jack turned around again to look at them apologetically. "I nearly forgot, we have a meeting tonight. Bu—ut I promise I'll come back."

"Tomorrow?", asked Jamie with begging eyes.

"The day after", shrugged the winter spirit. "You know those meetings always get a bit... carried away... So I can't promise what I wouldn't be able to hold. Have fun, guys!"

Waving them one last time, he let the Northern wind carry him off in the direction of the pole. It was probably good, having some time to himself now. To mull things over. This movie, it had been a huge success. People enjoyed watching the romance between a human man and a giant, blue, humanoid alien cat? Humans were really weird. Everything was alright, just because the guy had changed into an alien too...? It made a certain hope blossom in his chest.

Did that mean his desires, his feelings, could be accepted too, if only they were the same species? It was one of his greatest fears these days, to be rejected. Not just by Bunny – that was one rejection he was already anticipating – but also by the other guardians and by his believers. To be an outcast again, to be left alone because of his freakish feelings. Bunny, that one was obvious to him. Why should the tall, strong, proud warrior want a mangy, scrawny human boy...?

The tiny spark of hope developed further and further, like a flower, the roots spreading and the petals unfolding. It would be okay, it could be okay. And it would maybe help him admitting his feelings. The last four meetings had been hard for Jack, whenever he looked at Bunny, he had to blush. Not knowing about what his feelings had been had been a blessing. But now he always feared to give them away, always thinking if he may have stared too long or blushed too much, fearing that someone may notice. Notice and then freak out. Freak out about how he could feel that way about Bunny. The last few years had been good, being a guardian had been good. Having a family was great. But it only intensified his fear to be abandoned. Because now that he knew how it could be, how good his life could be... He couldn't bear to lose that.

The winds grew colder and a smile spread over Jack's lips. Coming to the North Pole gave him the feeling of coming home. It meant to see the others. The cold weather was just another added bonus. Lifting his head, he stared into the night sky. It was beautiful. The Moon stood tall and bright, watching him with a silent smile. Jack's smile brightened even more as he saw a shooting star.

Tugging his thumbs between his pointers and middle fingers, he closed his eyes tightly.

"Make me like him", whispered Jack softly, pleadingly. "Give me a chance. Please."

His heart raced in anticipation. No. It kept racing, going faster and harder until breathing became hard for him. A pain erupted throughout his whole body, trying to rip him apart. It felt as if every cell of his body broke. It was so overpowering that he didn't even notice how his staff slid out of his hand. Not that he saw the Earth's surface coming closer, because the pain had blacked him out...
