"Ha, you missed!" Jack joked as he joined in a snow ball fight with the neighborhood kids. When there weren't any adults nearby, Jack was free to interact with the young kids who believed in him. A boy in the group, one of Jack's best friends, Jamie, was especially hyper today. "This is the best snow day ever Jack!" he said. He was getting to be so big, yet he still believed. Jack ruffled his hair playfully. "Ah kid, don't you say that every time I give you a snow day?" he questioned. "I can't help it, I love every snow day!" he explained as he fell back and made a snow angel. Jack was having a great time that day, but he felt like he was being watched. Sure enough, he was, it was just one of North's yetis. "Great, what does he want now?" he mumbled. He usually didn't send the yetis unless it was something important. "Hey guys, I should probably get going. Duty call, you know." he said, backing away. He bumped into the yeti, who roughly pushed Jack into the portal. At the other side, North was standing before him. "Geez, can't you train these things be a little less aggressive?" He chortled at Jack's commented and patted a yeti on the back. "I try Jack, I try, but you think they listen?" he chuckled once more. "Anyways Jack, I brought you here because I have very special assignment for you. You see, I know of that little girl you've been visiting lately. As you probably know, she is in grave danger because...well, Pitch...he's returned and..." Jack rolled his eyes. "and you're not going to admit you were wrong and I was right, what else is new?" North's eyes widened at the boy's tone, but he continued on. "Jack, you must understand, every hundred years, Man in Moon, doesn't just choose guardians, oh no. He chooses children, special children, that harness the powers within them. These children are not like ordinary children, they have special magic, magic that when in the wrong hands can cause much destruction. That is why you must keep eye on little girl at all times." Jack felt confusion, but understood what North meant at the same time. She did seem different than the other kids he watched over and figured that was the reason why. "So let me get this straight...if Pitch gets his hands on this...little girl...unspeakably horrible things will happen worldwide?" North chuckled deeply. "Precisely. Now go, Jack, do not waste another moment!" he gave Jack a consistent push in the right direction. He rolled his eyes and with a slight smile he grasped his staff and flew along with the wind out an open window. "I won't let you down!" he called down to him as he made his way up to the cool winter skies, toward where the girl lived.
