Chapter One~


"Hohoho! I knew something good was going to happen today!" A large man with a long white beard, clad in red and white, began a cheer of sorts, giving an excited jig as his stomach bounced with each hop.

Turning with glittering brown eyes to the four onlookers, with one hand he clutched what looked to be a parchment paper with loopy ink lettering spilling across the sheet. With his other hand, he patted his waist where a brown leather belt was loosely fastened, chuckling as he spoke. "I could feel it in my belly!"

"Aye, mate." A large bunny, armed with boomerangs on his back, stood with arms cross as he thumped his long foot. "What has you hoppin' like me own two feet?"

Floating nearby, a short and round golden figure nodded eagerly, a question mark forming above his head.

Jack Frost laughed, leaning on his staff as he perched himself on a desk. "North, you look ridiculous. Seriously, did you get extra cookies and milk this year or something?"

Tooth giggled as they all looked questioningly to their large friend.

North chortled gleefully. "Ah, even better my friends! I just received a letter from my daughter!"

The silver haired teen, having still been guffawing on his own joke, toppled over from the desk at the news.

Bunnymund perked his ears. "Ah, I 'member her. She hasn't come '

round here for a couple hundred years I'd estimate."

Tooth put her hands to her cheeks, adorning a bright smile as she fluttered a few inches above the ground. "Oh! I adored her! She has the whitest teeth!"

"Wait, wait, wait. Hold on a sec!" Jack bounced to a stand, having been forgotten on the floor. He looked around at each of them, bewilderment in his pond blue eyes. "North...you have a daughter? How does that even work?"

The colorful fairy began to giggle shamelessly, Bunnymund hiding snickers behind his palm as North turned a shade of pink.

"Well, you see my boy, I met a lovely lass a few centuries ago, and it just so happened she believed in me...a beauty of a woman believed in me! It was so thrilling, and...er...well...One thing lead to another and...uh..."

Jack held up his hands and winced. "Never mind. Spare me the details, I don't want any. But how come I've never heard of or seen her? And why didn't she help us a few years ago with Pitch?"

North pulled on his belt, furrowing his brows as he explained. "It is a long story, Jack. You see, she is part spirit, part human. But because...er...the..." here he coughed into his fist, "male gene, so to speak, is often the most dominant, she is mostly a spirit and does not age nor fit in with the human world."

The Guardian of Fun looked intrigued. Twirling his staff, he gave a nod of his head. "Okay, so what does she represent? If she's a spirit, what is her part in all of this?"

At this, Tooth joined in the conversation. "She's actually in close relations with your part Jack! Elsa, since she is different from all of us in being part human, doesn't actually represent anything, but she does do her part in bringing beauty into the winter season, just as you spread joy. Her title, is the Snow Queen."

Jack jolted in shock. Snow Queen? Like the one from that story book? I mean, sure, we're all from story books, but I thought her character was evil!

North clapped his hands loudly, bringing the attention back to him. "Yes! But the reason I brought this up is to let you all know, she is coming to visit for awhile!" Once again he moved in excitement. "Oh this is just the most joyous news!"

Bunnymund let out a scoff. "Well at least I'll have someone round here who has their head on straight. And she might even be able to keep our ol' frosty friend in line," he chuckled, knocking Jack on the shoulder playfully.

Jack snorted. "Ha! Not gonna happen rabbit. I'm Jack Frost! I go as I please, riding the winter breeze!" He made emphasis of his point by sticking a thumb to his chest, then rubbed the back of his head and laughed at his own antics. "Man, that's a good line. I should use that more often."

The Easter bunny rolled his eyes and strode back to North, when he noticed his small plump friend trying to gain their attention. "Say North, Sandy is asking you when you expect her to arrive, mate."

North threw his arms up happily. "She says she'll be arriving shortly. I only wish me had more time! I would av' planned a welcoming party in her honor!"

Tooth rubbed her hand on his shoulder, ankles crossed as she fluttered with humming wings. "I'm sure she doesn't want anything like that, North. She most likely just wants to see her dad after all this time. Besides, you know how reclusive she is. A large gathering wouldn't be her thing anyways."

"Hm. I suppose you're right...but still..."

The conversations was interrupted by the creaking of a door, and in walked a short white figure with a large carrot nose, twigs for arms and hair, and coal for buttons. "Hi! I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!"

All the guardians watched in confusion as the figure, which seemed to be an alive snowman, walked straight up to them with a goofy smile.

Bunnymund glanced to Jack. "Uh...this one of yours, mate?"

Jack shook his head, marveling at the small friendly creature with interest, when another voice filled the room.

"Olaf, I had told you to wait for me."

Turning, Jack's eyes landed on a woman with breathtaking prowess, she had platinum blonde hair in a braid, a blue dress that shimmered with scales of ice, including a transparent cape decorated of snowflakes.

She approached with a small smile, a saunter in her hips as she bent down to the little snowman and chided softly. "You know better than to run off."

'Olaf' made a movement with his arms, in which Jack presumed to be a shrug. "I'm sorry Elsa. I won't do it again." He grinned at her toothily, before he gave a gasp upon sight of a nearby elf. Without another thought, he bolted toward the small unsuspecting figure and repeated his introduction once more.

The blonde watched him go and sighed. "It never lasts long."

Jack watched, still shocked at what he was seeing, as she stood and gently brushed at her sparkling sleeves as she met the eyes of everyone in the room. It was then that he got a fully view of her face, blue eyes, brighter than his, with magenta colored lips and purple eyeshadow that framed her lids; long black lashes fanning to her cheek every time she blinked.

Her gaze landing on North, she gave a sheepish wave. "Hello father. It is good to see you again."

North, taking this as a sign to embrace, rushed forward and crushed his daughter's small figure in his arms, so tightly that Jack was afraid he would soon hear a snap.

"Elsa my dear! It is so good to see you!" He yelled, and she merely chuckled and put her arms around him in response.

As the other guardians watched the embrace, Jack took notice of how much more reserved the girl was from her father. In fact, several variations between the two left him questioning whether there was any resemblance to one another at all.

She didn't look anything like the large man, as she was as slender and shapely as any fit woman would be...not that he had been looking. But despite her somewhat indifferent resolve, their was a swing in her hips and a tilt in her smirk that showed another face to this woman in front of him, of side of her spice.

Jack was only brought from his observations as she pulled away and turned to Bunnymund.

Giving a small but enchanting smile, she held her hand out for a proper shake, her royal physique still intact. "Hello Bunny. You look well."

The large rabbit cracked a grin, much to Jack's surprise, as he was usually huffy to those unknown to him. His large paw gripped her hand pleasantly. "Heya lass. Good to see you round here again."

Nodding her head, she was soon crashed into with a force of colorful feathers, a small squeal erupting from the figure that hugged her vigorously.

"Ah! Elsa, I'm so glad you're back! It gets lonely being the only girl around here!" Tooth leaned back from the hug, and immediately reached for the other girls mouth, when the blonde caught her wrists and leaned away.

"I promise you I have kept my teeth white and well. Thank you Tooth, I've missed you as well." She chuckled at the meek smile the tooth fairy sent her, when a small tug on her dress called for her attention.

Sandman had his small hand gripping her sparkly gown, his head bowed sheepishly as she looked down and grinned.

Bending down to the plump golden spirit, she ruffled his grainy hair. "Hey Sandy. Keeping the bed bugs at bay?"

In response, Sandy's eyes sparkled as he looked at her in adoration. Above his head an entire array of images flickered, in which no one was able to keep up with.

Stifling a laugh with her hand, Elsa leaned over and placed a chaste kiss to his cheek. This halted his emotional icons as his entire face lit up in a cherry red, taking on a dazed expression.

Jack laughed at this, as did everyone else, yet his eyes remained glued to this new acquaintance. At last, she faced him.

"Hello, you must be the newest Guardian. I'm Elsa, daughter of North."

Just as she had with Bunnymund, she held her hand out for a shake.

Finding her imperial antics humorous, as well as provocative, he leaned casually on his staff and took her hand with his free one.

"Jack Frost, Guardian of Fun, and Spirit of Winter." Before she could pulled her hand back, he bent down and placed a lingering kiss on her knuckles, grinning mischievously as he gave a wink. "At your service."

She seemed momentarily taken aback by his boldness, but recovered quickly and offered a smile.

Suddenly Jack was pushed back, and standing between him and the beauty was a large and intimidating North.

"Keep those eyes in their sockets, lad. As well as those hands at your sides. That's my daughter you're ogling over Frost."

Jack gave a crooked smile and leaped back, hovering a few feet off the ground as he held out his arms. "Aw, come on Big Red! I'm just havin' a little fun. That is my department after all."

His eyes moved to Elsa, who he saw watching and listening to the debate; her bottom lip between her teeth as she fought a smile.

Oh yeah, he thought with a smirk. Things just got a whole lot better around here.
