Chapter 1
Three Years Later
"Thank You! Thank You! Goodnight Philadelphia!" Called Toothiana, the lead guitarist and singer of the world-famous bad Guardians, as she and the three other members, Nick, Aster, and Sandy, waved and blew kisses to the enthusiastic audience as they screamed the band name in a chanting manner, begging for another song, despite having played two extra ones in addition to performing their many sold-out-in-stores singles and fan favorites from their most successful albums. The band members bowed and waved at the audience some more as thy exited the stage.
Back in their trailer, the band was lounging on the red and white couches (Nick owns the trailer, his favorite color is red, and his favorite holiday Christmas), celebrating the end of their most successful tour of the United States yet. They had just preformed the last concert, and it had gone even better than anticipated.
"I can't believe we completely sold out the Wells Fargo center! That place is massive." Enthused Toothiana, or Tooth as called by her band mates and best friends.
"Ya, I heard so many people wanted to see us,that there were some blokes climbing up the side of the building ay?" Spoke a thick Australian accent, coming from Aster. The four laughed at the ridiculous rumor.
"Da, it was endeed our most succesful tour of America." Said Nick, with his Russian accent. The others nodded in agreement.
Sandy smiled and signed an inside joke, at which they all laughed.
The blond boy with gold eyes who always wore his favorite color, gold, had been born mute, so his three friends had learned sign language. Sandy was the only one of his friends born in Burgess, and as a kid, he played piano and painted, his ways of speaking without words. At the age of sixteen, Sandy met Tooth, Nick, and Aster, and they started a band in which he played keyboard.
Nicholas, or Nick as he preferred, had come to the US with his mom, dad, and his two brothers and sister at the age of five. He was the oldest of four children, his siblings consisting of two twin brothers Alexander and David, who had been three when moving to the US, and his sister Valeriya, who ha been one. Despite being so young he kept his Russian accent and wore it with pride. All Nick's life, he was upstaged by his brothers, who seemed to be miraculously perfect around his parents, but were the devil's spawn when left alone, especially if left alone with Nick. Being the oldest, Nick was always blamed for his brothers' mishaps. "Your the responsible one" they'd say, "their just little boys who don't know any better". Sure, whatever you say. Nick would take out his anger on his drum set, banging away at all hours of the day. Despite the fact he was quite good, his apartment neighbors saw it as a nuisance and complained about it, so he was forced to stop. When Nick turned eighteen, he took his chance and moved away. He moved all around the US, never staying in one place for too long, until he moved to Burgess at age twenty two, where he met Tooth, Sandy, and Aster, and they started a band. Naturally, he played the drums. Nick always looked about five years older than he was, with his white-grey hair, his slightly overweight body type, and he always wore the color red. He has dark brown eyes and his favorite holiday is Christmas, because it is the day he was born.
Aster was born in Australia, where he lived for part of his life. He had a fairly modest upbringing living with his mom. Aster's dad had left before Aster could walk, and he was nine when his mom met George Bennett in America on a business trip, she married him and Aster and his mom moved to Burgess Pennsylvania, where Aster's new dad lived. A year later, Aster's half-brother Jamie Bennett was born, followed by his half-sister Sophie Bennett four years later. Like Nick, he retained his foreign accent and wears it with pride. Originally, Aster had wanted to move to Los Angeles California when he turned eighteen to pursue music, but decided to wait a year to help his family. Lucky for him he decided to wait because if he hadn't, he would never had met Tooth, Nick, and Sandy, and they never would've started their band. Aster has brown hair with natural blonde highlights, and wears a grey shirt with a brown leather vest over it and blue jeans with converse. He also has black sling that crosses his chest which holds his boomerang. He always wears it, but only his four friends and Jamie know that he can actually use it. He has green eyes and like Nick, he was born on his favorite holiday. Aster was born on Easter. He plays bass guitar in the group.
Toothiana was born in Los Angeles, to one of the richest families in the city. You might be thinking that Tooth's parents were famous, and that's how the band became successful, but you would be wrong. Tooth's parents were famous, famous doctors. They actually highly disapprove of the artistic aspect of fame, such as singing or acting professionally. Tooth managed to get the nickname due to her strange obsession with teeth and her desire to be a dentist implanted into her head by her patents. Tooth was born an only child to two wealthy but busy parents who were never there for her. All of her lie, she was raised by her nanny Pegah, an Indian immigrant, and also her only friend. Even though her parent's were never around to raise her, she was still kept on a very tight leash. She went straight to school (a private one, of course) in the morning, then came straight home afterward for her lessons with her private tutors, which consisted of piano, ballet, and advanced science and arithmetic. She was always obedient and she never left her estate. Until one day, she got curious and attended a party that a high school girl told her about. It was definitely not like any of the fancy soiree her parents hosted. Kids were wearing casual clothing instead of gowns, the music was loud and anything but classical, the lights were neon and shining around in irregular patterns, and Tooth couldn't even begin to describe what the kids were doing. It was admittedly, a nice change. The girl who invited her was named Sepharina, and the two soon became best friends. Tooth began sneaking out more and more to see Sepharina, who was also taking it upon herself to teach Tooth guitar. She encouraged Tooth to perform at cafes and clubs, which she did. Soon, the two became very close, so close actually that they started dating. They managed to keep it to themselves for six months. In fact, Tooth still wasn't quite sure how her parents found out. But at seventeen, they did. Naturally, they were not happy. What Tooth was doing was against everything they believed. Tooth had been sneaking out, she was singing pop and performing professionally, and the worst, she was dating. A girl. It was unacceptable. Tooth was going to be a dentist, and marry a man. But despite her strange obsession with teeth, Tooth's heart belonged to music. And she wasn't going to let that go, but her parents wouldn't accept it. After Tooth was basically disowned, she contacted a guy she met through Sepharina named Nick who had become one of her closest friends, and he arranged for her to come to Burgess. Nick introduced her to Aster and Sandy and together they started the Guardians. After Tooth left her home, she decided to completely change her look. Tooth has dark brown hair which she used to wear in a bun, but now lets flow loose, symbolizing her freedom. She used to wear glasses, but she never actually needed them. She has big, purple eyes. She wears a multicolor dress with the colors of the rainbow and black flats, she used to wear a grey top and a long, black skirt. She had an obvious crush on Aster, but she thought no one could tell. Naturally, Aster was clueless to her crush on him. Secretly, he liked her back, but he'd never tell. Tooth, of course, plays guitar and sings in the band.
"Wow, you know, three years ago, we had just met, and we started a garage band. But now, I mean, look how far we've gotten! It's kind of amazing, isn't it." Tooth said. The others nodded in agreement.
"Ya mate, can't believe it was only three years ago. We met each other, then Manny, of course." The others spoke words of praise to their band manager. "Hard to believe how far we've come."
-Line Break-
The Guardians weren't the only ones who had come far in three years. In a little cabin on a shore of a frozen lake in Burgess Pennsylvania, A now seventeen year-old Jack was sitting on a bed, strumming the same guitar he had been that cold winter night three years ago on that street corner. Manny had taken him to his mansion. He gave Jack the stage name Jack Frost, he had dyed his hair snow white, which was surprisingly a very good look for him. He replaced his faded, holey brown jacket with a blue hoodie with frost designs to mach his stage name, but he kept his pants, and his lack of shoes. He'd also gotten him this cabin, right in his home town. Since they had the same manager, he'd had a couple of run-ins with the Guardians, but he didn't get the big fuss. Sure, the lead girl was cute, but her teeth obsession was just creepy. Besides, the boys in the band had nothing on him. However it was quite enjoyable to mess with them. It was especially fun pissing off the aussie. His obvious crush on the lead girl made his reactions especially when he flirted with her priceless.
"Pretty amazing how far I've come, ain't it." He said to no one. He chuckled. "Funny, I used to hate winter, but now, its my favorite season."
There was a knock on the door. "Must be Manny." The manager had said he had a surprise for Jack, and he would come to pick him up. Jack set down his guitar, and walked outside where he met the men.
