"I'm not exactly sure, but I'll try to be one." That was Rianne Lumine's answer when she was asked to be a guardian. Out of the new guardians, she was the kindest of them all. With a warm heart, she accepted being a guardian, knowing that she might actually make a difference. In her 458 years of lifetime, she never thought that she'll have a chance of becoming a guardian.

When the Sandman and the Tooth Fairy appeared in front of her, all she could do was freeze. Tooth being Tooth, she gushed over the golden haired girl. Her skin was sun-kissed, and her eyes shone brightly with its hazelnut glow. And being the kind-hearted girl she is, she immediately agreed to go to the pole.

"Bringing her here, that I understand." A scruffy voice said. The boy pointed his thumb at the kind girl. "But bringing me here? This must be some kind of joke."

"C'mon, Daichi. The moon chose you. He sees potential." Rianne smiled kindly at Daichi. His black eyes gazed at the girl with a bored expression. He ran his hands through his brown locks, and sighed. He looked at the guardians, biting the inside of his cheek.

"Alright, fine. If you think I'll make a difference, why not?" He smirked as the people around him rejoiced. He was really never the one to be on the spotlight. He was usually in the background, minding his own business, tinkering with his little devices that he hides in the pockets of his Prussian blue jumper. It was one of the reasons why he's skeptical. Why would the Man in the Moon choose a Tinker to be a guardian?

"Fantastic! Now we only have to wait for Jack to arrive." North clasped his hands together, and looked at his fellow guardians. Honestly, he had known the girl a few years back. She was the reason he was late in some of the houses on that Christmas Day. He was flying his sled on that starry night when a big mass of shadow swallowed it. Not actually swallowed, more like covered his sled. At first he thought that it was Pitch Black, yet he noticed dark gray streaks on the shadow, making him doubt that it was him.

"Just a quick question." Daichi looked at the other guardians with his eyebrows raised. "Who are the others?"

"One of them is Anna Amour!" Tooth flew up in the room as her fairies formed a shape of a heart. That was just a tad bit strange for Daichi. He wasn't very social, but he would often hear a voice practicing the bow and arrow in the forest; and that was the reason why he met her. She's sweet and kind, somewhat charming, and she's that kind of person who would sacrifice herself for others. But then, there was a thing about her bothering his mind. She's cupid. And since she's cupid, why wasn't she visible to the people? "Isn't it wonderful? I'm sure she would be the best guardian she can be."

"Yeah." Daichi muttered.

"Other one's a say before you think kind of girl." Bunnymund said with his strong accent. He was observing one of his boomerangs, and he would often throw it around. "'Ya know, Issa Memoir."

Daichi's eye twitched at the sound of her name. Since he knew about Anna, he obviously knew about the hyperactive girl. She was funky. Not just with her clothing style that mainly consists of vintage and steampunk, but also her attitude. She's wild. Yet too wild, unlike Anna. They were almost the same. Except for the fact that Issa lacked the art of subtlety. He shivered at the thought of seeing the girl again.

"And the last is Jaq Noir." North said. At the moment, Daichi never realized that he could do a 90 degree head turn in a millisecond. Rianne Lumine? Sure, she's kind hearted. Anna Amour? Why not, she's selfless. Issa Memoir? Bring it on. But Jaq Noir was a different a different topic. He finds it weird. Especially to the fact that she's mysterious, lead him to believe that she's evil. Unless, he was wrong of course.

"Hold on." Rianne butted in. The tips of her golden her floated and swayed slowly as she walked towards North. Her eyebrows were creased ever so lightly. "Jaq Noir and Anna Amour together in a team? I don't think that that's possible."

"Don't worry, Anna knows better than to be driven away by the girl." Daichi answered the golden girl beside him. The other guardians looked at each other, knowing that the two must've had a past. Well, it wasn't that surprising since they were complete opposites. One was sweet and compassionate, while the other was cold and cynical. One resembles love and innocence, while the other resembles hatred and darkness. But they do have one thing in common: They were chosen.

"Look, I know that we all have a bad impression on Jaq, but I think there's more to her than her outer shell." Tooth flew over to the two, and gave them side hug. As if on cue, a knock on the door was heard, and from the door came out the girl with crystalline wings. Her hazel hair was wildly sticking out to a lot of directions. She walked with a slouched back towards the guardians. Her face was fixed in a scowl. When Tooth asked her about it, she pointed at the door. One of the yetis opened the door, and it revealed Jaq Noir having a tendril around Anna Amour.

"She's killing Anna!" Daichi pointed at the scene. He looked at the other guardians. "I told you she's something!"

"Woah, I am not killing Anna!" Jaq defended, putting Anna Amour down to the floor. Jack, who just arrived, raised his eyebrow at Daichi.

"Is he new or?" He pointed his stick at Daichi. "Ah yes, of course! Another guardian, my bad." He looked to his side and saw Jaq's tendril. Then, he looked back at Daichi, who had a screwdriver in his palms. He was confused by the fact that the new guardian was actually going to defend himself with a screwdriver. That was when he realized that they took the scene out of context. "Woah, woah, woah, chill out. She's not attacking Anna. She took the two them for a ride."

"If that's so, why does Issa looks like she just handled a war?" Daichi pointed at the brunette, who was glaring at him. Jaq chuckled.

"It was her fault; she was twisting and turning when we were up in the air. She kept on ordering me to let her go." She smirked as her eyes scanned the room. She never imagined that the pole looked like that. "And, as an obedient girl, I did let her go. But don't worry; I caught her before she hit the ground."

"Well, enough of this." North spoke up as his eyes stayed on Jaq. She stared back at him with a playful smirk. "Now, Jaq Noir, do you know what you're here for?" Jaq shook her head. North looked at the others and they nodded. He walked towards Jaq and he clasped his hands. "How would you like to be a guardian?"

"H-Hold on. A guardian?" Jaq raised her eyebrow. She then looked at Issa and Anna. 'They're guardians too?!' She thought. She furrowed her eyebrows as her gaze followed the moon's light. 'That idiot.' Her attention went back to North. "Excuse me? Are you sure you're saying it correctly? Me, a guardian?"

"That's right!" Tooth exclaimed excitedly. Jaq chuckled and looked at all the people in the room. She wasn't sure if they were joking or not. She wasn't sure if he was joking or not. She wasn't Ms. Goody-goody to begin with. And she's practically stubborn. Her eyes landed on North, and she said with a quick wave of her hand.

"No way." She then disappeared through the wind, leaving silver-black sand suspended in the air.
