What Ifs and AUs

Sakura turned the page of the book and continued the story.


15 YEARS LATER

A small hummingbird like fairy flew outside a window and hid in front of a vase. She was panting but rather silent.

"HAH!" Jack yelled opening the blinds. Nada. A confused look crossed his face before he "walked" away to go "find" Baby Tooth. "Hmm, Well I guess Baby Tooth's not hiding out here..."

He walked away and Baby Tooth laughed lightly and softly until a gust of wind thrusted her into Jack's hand.

"GOTCHA!" Jack cried as Baby Tooth squeaked. He set the fairy down on the window, "That's twenty two for me. How about twenty three, out of forty five?"

Baby Tooth shook her head.

She was getting tired of hide-n-seek...

Jack sighed and sat on the window, "Okay, well, what do you want to do?"

Baby Tooth eagerly pointed out the window.

"Yeah, I don't think so. I like it in here and so do you." Baby Tooth shot him an unamused glance. How dare he say she was happy in there! It was clear she wasn't. And neither was he! Jack sighed once more, "Oh, come on Baby Tooth, it's not so bad in there." Jack grabbed the baby fairy that he found when he was younger. She was playing with his first lost baby tooth, hence the name Baby Tooth.

Jack set off to do his morning routine.

"7a.m. the usual morning line-up
Starting the chores I sweep
'til the floors all clean
Polish and wax, do laundry and
mop and shine up.
Sweep again, and by then
it's like 7:15."

Jack begun to sweep the floors, covering Baby Tooth in dust as he did. He skated on the floor as he waxed them.

It was much more fun that way.

He then did his and Pitch's laundry.

When he finished he sighed and looked at the clock which read:

7:15.

He still had time to do some things...

"So I'll read a book,
or maybe two or three."

Jack grabbed three books off of a bookshelf with a smile as he hugged them to his chest.

"I'll add a few new paintings
to my gallery.
I'll play guitar, and knit, and cook
and basically.
Wonder when will my
life, begin."

Jack then went on to paint a picture of himself skating on a lake. He then took his guitar and began to strum it.

A few moments later he was knitting a ridiculously long scarf that piled around Baby Tooth. And after that, he cooked and wondered when his life would begin.

"Then after lunch, it's puzzles,
and darts and baking.
paper-mâché, a bit of ice-skate,
and chess."

Jack pulled out a very complex puzzle and started to put it together. He then turned his attention a game of darts and later on a pie!

Mmmmm...

Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee...

He then scared Baby Tooth with a giant paper-mâché version of his head.

Jack covered the floor in ice and began to skate.

As he did a spin he fell over and lifted his hand to push a chess piece forwards, knocking over on of Baby Tooth's in the process.

"Pottery, and ventriloquy, candle making.
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch.
Take a climb, sew a dress!"

Jack sat on a stool and with the help of Baby Tooth, they made a pot.

He then sat on the floor making candles...

One of hundreds and hundreds of candles.

Jack then decided to touch his toes.

Why?

He was bored...

so bored he decided to give Baby Tooth a little make-over!

YAY!


"Oh man..." Jack sighed, "This...I..."

"This is getting weird..." Eugene said.

Sakura snorted, "This, is nothing. Wait for "I have a dream" and "I see the light" that's when things will get really awkward."


Baby Tooth had an annoyed look on her face. Jack sat behind her, smiling tentively. Though, if you looked closely enough, you could see hidden amusement in his icy orbs.

"And I'll re-read the books.
If I have time to spare, I'll paint the wall
some more, I'm sure there's room somewhere.
And then I'll put frost, and frost,
and frost, and frost everywhere.
Stuck in the same place
I've always been.
And I'll keep wondering, and wondering,
and wondering...
Wondering, just when will my life begin?"

Jack walked over to the window, Baby Tooth on his shoulder. He had finished adding layers of frost to his tower. He had finished rereading. He was running out of room to paint. And he would always end up at the window each year, with one thing in mind.

"Tomorrow night, the lights will appear.
Just like they do on my birthday,
each year.
What is it like out there,
where they glow?
Now that I'm older. Father
might just let me go."

Jack sighed and left the window, Baby Tooth flying next to him as he did.


"Okay," Elsa said, "tell me one thing, how much of this is...er...altered? Is that the word I'm looking for?"

"Yes," Kura replied, "and not much. It's kinda going with the flow of the original version of Tangled."


"Wow!" Ash sighed. "I could get used to a view like this."

"Flynn, come on." Onyx said.

Ash held up a hand, "Hold on."

Ash took a moment to take in the view from the roof, "Yep, I'm used to it. Guys I want a castle."

"We do this job, you could buy your own castle." Noir said. Ash nodded and got ready. He tied a rope around his waist and allowed the two thieves with him to lower him down. He smiled at the silver crown that had the rarest of gems.

The winter diamonds.

He smirked as he pocketed the crown. Before he was lifted, a Yeti sneezed.

"Oh, hay fever?"

The yeti replied in yetish. Roughly translated, he said"
"Yeah."

Before looking back at Ash, "Huh?"

In more roughly translated yetish, he and the others Yetis said:

"Wait, wait. Hey, wait!"

Ash laughed, "Can't you picture me in a castle of my own? I mean, I certainly can." Ash ran off with the "Nightmare" siblings, "Oh, the things we've seen and it's only eight in the morning. Lady and gent this is a very big day!"


Kura smirked, "I'm gonna enjoy this next part...LEMME READ IT!"

Sakura chuckled and handed over the massive book.

Kura: Review!

Oh, before Jamie tells Jack his name is Jamie Bennett, he is going to be called Ash Croyant.*
