Chapter 1: Meeting the Guardians
300 Years Later
Up in a workshop on top of the tallest tree in the coldest forest, there was a man sitting in an office, working on a tiny, wooden toy train. As he was building the train, he sang along to an old, classical song:
"Buh buh, ZANC!"
He carefully worked on the small train, using special tools to add as much detail as possible.
"Buh buh, ZANC!"
He used beautiful paints to give it a unique and colorful pattern.
"Buh buh buh buh, ZANC!"
He gently placed the train onto a roller-coaster like track and leaned forward to watch the train move along the track. He let out a laugh.
If you look at his face, you would see the face of St. Peppy. To everyone but the other immortals, he was known as The Giver. He continued to laugh as the train went through a loop-de-loop, and went flying off a ramp. All of the sudden, wings emerged from the toy train, causing it to soar like an airplane, and Peppy smiled again, seeing that his new invention worked, right before a large, hairy goblin slammed the door open.
"Gliiiiby boddsie!" the goblin screamed, as the door smashed the airborne train.
"Gah!" Cried Peppy.
"Ohh!" Responded the goblin.
"Gah!"
"Ohh!"
"Gah."
"Ohh?"
"How many times have I told you to knock?!" Cried Peppy, pinching the bridge of his nose. The goblin gave a quick apology, but then, in a worried tone, said, "Sedie aqu mappe!" Peppy gave the goblin a strange look. "What's wrong with the map?"
They headed to the map room, to see many goblins and elves staring at a large diagram of every forest, desert, and town covered in pale blue lights. "Shoo, with your bright clothes, you're giving me a headache!" Peppy told the elves as he made his way to the parchment. He stared at it for a second, before noticing that the lights were flickering. And not just one or two, but thousands at a time. "What is this?" He asked, as entire villages started to go out. "Have you checked the senors? Is it hanging crooked?" He asked a blue goblin. The goblin shrugged.
Then, suddenly, black sand began to swirl around the Globe. Peppy's jaw hit the floor, and the black sand exploded off the Globe.
The sand then grouped together, and formed a silhouette of a woman that flew around the Globe, releasing a blood-curdling cackle, before disappearing.
"Can it be?" Peppy wondered. "Aspen!" Several elves straightened at their leader's call, doing goofy military stances. "Get cookies and eggnog ready! We are going to have company." Peppy twisted and pushed a lever, causing bright Aurora Borealis to emit from the tree and to travel to the sky.
My fellow Guardians,
The northern lights traveled to a large palace in the hills, with little fairies coming in and out of it.
It is our job to watch over the children of the world, and to keep them safe.
All the fairies were either leaving with a quarter, or bringing a tooth and placing it in the right box on the right shelf in the right column. In the midst of all the fairies was a much larger one. While the others were barely the size of a child's palm, the big one was about the size of a grown woman. She looked like the others, but her skin and hair was completely pink, and pulled into a thick, high ponytail.
Her name was Poppy, better known as the Marshtato Fairy. She kept directing the smaller fairies to the correct addresses, when she suddenly called out for a fairy to "Wait!" The mini-fairy was startled, and handed the tooth she carried to Poppy. Poppy gently took it and smiled. "It's her first tooth! Have you ever seen a more adorable lateral incisor in all your life? Look how she flossed! Please tell she got the sweetest marshtato in the bunch." Poppy practically screamed with excitement.
Then, one of the mini-fairies let out a squeak. Poppy gasped as she saw the northern lights, and took off after the rainbow trail with several mini-fairies not far behind.
To bring wonder, hopes, dreams, and to protect their memories.
An old woman sat on a cloud of turquoise glitter. She was very short, barely four feet tall. Her name was Rosiepuff, but the other immortals called her "Granny".
To children, she was known as the Sandwoman.
So that is why I have called you here for one reason and one reason only.
Granny was spreading dreams to children's heads, when she looked up, and saw the northern lights. She quickly changed her cloud into an airplane, and headed straight to the North Pole.
The children are in danger.
A tall man was bounding on all fours through a tunnel. His name was Creek, the Pranker.
An enemy we have kept a bay for centuries has finally decided to strike back.
Creek finally emerged from the tunnels about a quarter mile from the workshop. He had a triumphant smirk on his face until the cold weather set in. "Uhh, it's freezing!" He begun to bound towards the workshop's tree like a rabbit, while screaming, "My feet! I can't feel my feet!" His voice had a thick Australian accent.
And so my fellow Guardians, I call you here,
All the Guardians met in the map room. "Peppy better have a good reason for calling us here," Creek muttered under his breath.
Because only we can stop her.

I put character descriptions here because it would be kinda long-winded to put them in the story.
Peppy: Wears a red/pink shirt with a diamond pattern, a red belt, black pants that go up to his belly-button, and black boots with a red trim. He's a bit taller than in the movie, but he looks about the same.
Poppy: See fairy description, then see above.
Granny: Has silver/turquoise hair, purple skin, and jade green eyes. Imagine her cloud of sand has random flecks of yellow glitter mixed in with the turquoise. She wears a long dress that matches her glitter cloud and a green sweater covered in hearts.
Creek: Has thick, blue, wavy hair and light purple skin. He only wears yellow pants and a leather belt that holds all kinds of weapons.
Fairies: They all have curly aqua green hair, with streaks of blue, pink, or purple. Their eyes are light pink or green. They have light pink or blue skin, and aqua green, transparent wings. They each wore tiny lockets that have their names written inside, purple, shimmering sandals, and all they have a purple and blue gown and a plain green headband, both of which are made of silk.
Goblins: basically Fuzzbert.
Elves: adorable creatures, about two feet tall, with hair that is pulled into funny styles that are red or green in in color, and they have skin that is pink or white. their eyes are always orange, and they wear glittery green jumpsuits with simple, black boots.
