(AN: I found a reliable script, that has actual 'what is going on' so hopefully this will turn out better than Mulan did *shudders*)
As the movie flickered to life, everyone found a seat, and stared up at it.
Jack (V.O.): Darkness...
Everyone from the 1700 jumped, and stared around the room, trying to figure out where Jackson's voice had come from.
"Calm down" Sky suddenly appeared in the black bean-bag chair, holding a remote "That's supposed to happen, It's alright, there are no ghosts here, I swear" she clicked a button and the movie resumed.
Jack (V.O.): That's the first thing I remember.
"Um..." Jack Frost spoke up "I remember that, yes, but I'm pretty sure I didn't say that..." he stopped when a random piece of popcorn 'accidentally' hit him in the head.
Jack (V.O.): It was dark, and it was cold. And I was scared.
The silhouette of a body appears as it drifts into a ray of light, refracted through water, which turns into...
A MOON - SEEN IN REFLECTION ON A SHEET OF ICE
The moonlight intensifies almost magically, and the ice above begins to spider-web and crack.
EXT. FROZEN POND - NIGHT
Snow-covered trees in every direction. The ice in the pond continues to crack, until finally a hole splinters open. A young man floats out of the water, bathed in the intense moonlight. This is JACK FROST - thin, pale, barefoot, his tousled hair frosted white.
Mrs. Overland gasped It...it can't be but it had to be. this boy was wearing the same clothes as her son, the day he had died.
JACK (V.O.) But then...then I saw the moon. It was so big and it was so bright, and it seemed to chase the darkness away. And when it did...I wasn't scared anymore.
Jack floats back down onto the ice as the hole closes up underneath him.
JACK (V.O.) Why I was there, and what I was meant to do - that I've never known. And a part of me wonders if I ever will.
Tooth smiled and whispered to North "Well, at least he'll be a Guardian soon!" North nodded in agreement.
Jack looks around, confused, then turns toward the moonlight as it dims a bit.
Jack carefully treads across the ice until he hits something with his feet. He looks down, and at his feet is a wooden staff. Curious, he picks it up. Almost immediately the staff begins to glow a cold blue in his hands. Odd.
"What's wrong with your stick?" Jaime spoke up from a few rows back
Jack turned and grinned cheekily "Ok, first of all, it's a staff. second, watch and learn kid" he pointed to the screen as...
Jack almost drops it as the base of the staff comes in contact with the ground. Frost shoots out and spreads across the ice. Jack is visibly confused. He touches a few trees with his staff sending frost up their trunks. Then he swings the staff again, more confident, as he begins to run across the frozen swing, and a gust of wind swirls him high up into the air. Jack floats for a moment only to fall back down to earth and into the trees. Jack grabs hold of a tree branch and pulls himself up to see a small town off in the distance.
"AWESOME!" almost every kid in the room shouts (minus Sky)
EXT. BURGESS SETTLEMENT - TOWN CENTER - CONTINUOUS
A collection of simple timber houses with thatched roofs. Jack comes in for a landing, and it's a rocky one. He stands up, still elated, and brushes himself off. As Jack makes his way into town, settlers are warming their hands by campfire. Jack doesn't recognize anyone.
JACK (to the townsfolk) Hello. Hello. Good evening, ma'am. (BEAT) Ma'am?
The settlers walk past Jack, not noticing him. Jack crouches down as a YOUNG BOY runs toward him.
Emma giggled slightly as she saw herself talking to Mr. Bennet. (Jaime's great great great great great grandady or something)
JACK Oh, ah, excuse me, can you tell me where I am?
The boy runs right through Jack, as if he were a ghost. Jack staggers back in shock. He's speechless, as if the wind had been knocked out him. His emotions causing it to snow.
"Oh my tooth" Tooth gasped, hands flying to her mouth
"What's going on?" Emma asked, panic creeping into her voice "Why did Charles run right through him?"
Sky sighed "Because they don't believe he is real, they cannot see him..." she shook her head, and turned to look at Jack, who had pulled his hood over his head, and had shoved his hands into his pockets.
JACK Hello! Hello!
Townsfolk continue to pass through Jack, unaware of his presence. Shaken, Jack turns and retreats into the forest.
JACK (V.O.) My name is Jack Frost - how do I know that? The moon told me so. But that was all he ever told me. And that was a long, long time ago.
We pan up as the moon shines down over the snow covered trees.
What do you think? I for one like it WAY better than Mulan!
