XOXOs,
Luv, Shevil
The first day of school had been interesting... to say the least. And that was excluding the events that unfolded before the first bell had rung.
First, Jack and Tooth discovered that they had identical schedules, which had them rejoicing. Until they realised that Tooth was enrolled in all AP classes, and Jack only CP. Which meant they were separated all day, and Jack was grumbling about being just as smart as the Tooth Fairy. At least they had the same lunch period. Then they could discuss the things they missed in the rest of the six periods they were separated in.
And then there were new friends to keep in touch with during the day. Ria popping up in Jack's Geometry and History class, and Seth appearing to be in his Biology, Chorus (why did North even sign Jack Frost up for singing?), and French (Jack had to thankful that he spent half a year in France, learning its language, while it was attacked blizzard after blizzard a hundred years ago) classes. As for Tooth, Ria and Seth wouldn't stop pestering her in the hallways in between classes. She wasn't as lucky as Jack to have their company, only seeing Ria in her Chemistry class.
After the last bell, before Jack and Tooth could set off on their way back to their house, Ria held them back at her cheer practice. She insisted that they stayed, since Tooth was 'interested' in joining the team.
Jack could say that he was quite surprised at Tooth's performance with the rest of the team during that practice. She was catching up fast.
That was how Jack spent his Thursday afternoon with a group of preppy, giggling girls who seemed taken by him, and how Tooth landed herself a tryout for the cheer team's flyer Saturday morning.
So when North asked the pair how their day had gone, they had more than enough to tell North.
"Tooth is joining the cheerleading team," Jack told North. Tooth lit up at the mention of her new group of friends.
"Ria invited me to be a flyer," Tooth explained, "the other girl broke her leg, and she thinks I'd be just as good as her. Maybe even better. I've been flying for over a thousand years, I think I can do it!"
North smiled at Tooth's enthusiasm. "And what has Jack been up to?"
"Nothing yet," Jack muttered, "but I'll find something by the end of the week. It's only the first day of school."
"Jack told me that he found history class amusing and entertaining," Tooth added. "I don't understand why; he's lived through every major event that happened in the past 300 years, and that's the period we're studying in History right now: US History."
"If Jack likes it, then let him be, Tooth," North said, patting the winter spirit on his back. "What about new friends? Surely you must have met some people, or else you wouldn't be this happy."
"There is this one girl... Ria Anderson," Tooth stated, waiting for North to make the connection that she was the one who had invited the Tooth Fairy to the cheer leading team. North didn't seem to remember. "She's the captain of the cheer team."
"Ah," North chuckled, "that would explain how you are trying out to be a flyer on Saturday."
"Yes," Tooth confirmed.
"And there's also this boy, Seth, who is Ria's ex's brother," Jack chided in, not wanting Tooth to tell North about his 'crush' on Ria.
Tooth, however, noticed what Jack was trying to do. "And Jack -" she paused when the opening front door interrupted her sentence and for the dramatic effect "- is quite attached a girl already."
Jack's eyes widened, just as Bunny - or rather Bunny's human form - walked into the kitchen. He looked at the three Guardians with a giant grin plastered on his face.
"Who is this person that Jack Frost likes?" Bunny questioned, his grin growing wider with every word.
"No one," Jack said, just as Tooth answered, "Ria."
"Well, congratulations, mate," Bunny said, the smile still on his lips. "You'll probably never get the girl anyways."
Jack's embarrassed expression immediately turned annoyed and he glared at Bunny.
"Boys! Jack, Bunny, stop it. We are here to make peace, not to cause trouble."
Jack raised his hands in surrender. "Bunny started it."
Bunny threw a scowl at Jack.
"Bunny, how was college?" North asked, hoping to draw his attention somewhere other than bothering Jack.
"Good, fine," Bunny murmured. "And North? Can I have a cell phone?"
"Cell phone?" North questioned. "What for?"
"Well, we need to communicate with some people in some way other than speaking to them face to face," Tooth explained. "Like if I was at school and Bunny is two towns away, I could still talk to him using a cell phone."
"Yes, Tooth, I know what a cell phone is," North said flatly.
"Can we get a cell phone tomorrow?" Jack asked, hopeful.
"I'll can just get my yetis to make some cell phones for you," North shrugged, clearly not liking the idea of the Guardians having call phones.
"No!" the three younger Guardians exclaimed at the same time.
"I mean," Tooth added quickly afterwards, "we don't want to make your yetis do all the work. Besides, you said that we all had to act human for the time we are here. You are here too, therefore, you need to act human too. Going to the North Pole isn't quite human."
North's cheery expression faltered. "Yes... I did say that." He looked at the three Guardians, focusing on Tooth. He thought for a moment. "I will take you to the phone shop, if you can stop arguing for a week. A compromise."
Tooth nodded eagerly.
Jack rolled his eyes. "Easy for you to say, Sandy's not here," he muttered, so only Tooth could hear. But she stayed silent.
Bunny said a soft "fine".
"Jack?"
"Sure, whatever," the winter spirit grumbled. "I just want a phone, and if I have to stop talking to Bunny for a week, I'm totally fine with it."
"Good!" North had gotten his way after all. His cheerfulness was back, and he was smiling through his bushy white beard. "I'll take you all shopping for cell phones tomorrow!" North left the kitchen happily.
The remaining Guardians looked at each other. If North was seriously going to take them to the mall to get new phones, it should be quite an unusual experience.
