Normal P.O.V.

We are at the North Pole many, many yearslater. The snow is cold outside, and covering the ground in eternal whiteness. But we are not here to watch Jack's work now, are we? We are here because this is where our guardians' next big adventure begins...

Inside Santa Claus' Workshop, we see many bright lights and several hand-crafted objects flying and crawling around. Hundreds of yetis are building toys for children all over the world for this year's Christmas, while the elves...' work' as hard as their intellect allows them. You know, the usual: putting building blocks together to see if they fit, rolling little trains around to see if the wheels-...Oh, who am I kidding? They're not testing, they're practically playing with the toys!

Anyway, it was a normal day for an elf named Gingy. He and his 'co-workers' were seeing how much mini-fruit cakes could fit in one's mouth. Gingy already had 14, but just when he was going to add another, a blue light blinded him temporarily, making him fall on his butt and spit out all the cakes he held. He opened his eyes to see that the light was coming from the window in the ceiling, where he also saw the Man in Moon shining down on him. Now, even if Gingy wasn't the brightest light in the tree, if you know what I mean, he still knew who was Manny, and what to do if he saw him. He immediately got up and started to shake his 'colleagues' shoulders while pointing at the ceiling. Little by little, a small group of elves started to head to North's office.

In there, North was just starting to sculpt a new model toy, when he thought he saw the door open just a crack from the corner of his eyes, and heard the faint sound of bells . But he just ignored them and continued chiselling the ice in front of him. It wasn't long before he was interrupted again, this time feeling something on his leg. He looked down to see one of his many elves pulling on the hem of his pants and pointing at something.

"Run along, shoo!" he said, pushing him away with his leg. He turned his attention back to his ice sculpture thus missing the look of emergency and distress on Gingy's face. But the latter was determined to give his 'boss' the important news he had to deliver. It's Manny we're talking about here! He pulled on North's pants a little harder this time, his hat making little giggling sounds as he tried to warn his chief. Meanwhile, tNorth was trying to stay focused on his work, which he found very difficult to do at the moment. Finally, he lost patience.

"V'hat! V'hat! Can't you see I'm busy here!" North said, his Russian accent coming out loud and clear. He wasn't the only one who was getting annoyed right now. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Gingy went out the door, only to come back with a bunch of other elves. He put his finger to his mouth, telling them to be quiet. He silently counted to three and started shaking his head furiously from side to side, making the little bell on top of his hat giggle. His friends copied his movements, making a cacophony of ringing bells. Surprised, North jumped out of his chair, looked over the block of ice on his desk and saw his elves running around his office while Gingy was still pointing at something.

Just as he was about to yell at them to go away, the door was thrown wide open to reveal one of the yetis in the doorway babbling on about who knows what. North immediately got out of his office, yelling.

"Manny? V'hy didn't anybody tell me sooner!?"

Behind him, Gingy smacked his hands on his face and facepalmed.

Meanwhile, North was pushing pass everyone and everything in his way. When he finally arrived to the globe room, his first reflex was to check if the lights of the believing children were flickering and/or going out. Nope, everything looked normal. He looked up and his face lit up with happiness.

"Aaahh, Manny! Good to see you again! I hope, this time, it's good news, yes?"

An intense spot of moonlight shined on the circle in the middle of the room. It slowly faded away to reveal an all too familiar shadow...

"Pitch?! V'hat?!" North looked up to the sky in disbelief. "No, no, it can't be! H-he is too weak to do anything, unless-" he stopped in mid-sentence, wide-eyed. He slowly looked back down to the ground.

"-unless he had help..." he quietly added.

Suddenly, the shadow started to twist and morph into something else. What used to look like an image of Pitch, now looked like the one of a young woman. She wore boots that went all the way up to her knees, jeans, a shirt that stopped over her belly button, and a small vest. Her hair was cut just above her shoulders, but North wasn't sure, since it was only a shadow after all. However, what was most unsettling was that he had absolutely no idea who she was! And he knew everyone! From the Leprechaun, to the Thanksgiving turkey, you name it!

He marched towards the emergency lever and released the northern lights, alerting the other guardians.

"*Sigh* Here we go again..."

Soooo? Should I go on? By the way, I like getting reviews (*hint, hint* ;) )
