A/N: to make up for the horrible ending I left u with, here is something with a cliffhanger but not as much. Please tell me if the intervals I post this in are good!
Bunny dared to open his eyes and found himself back at the pole, in Jack's room.
Around him, the other Guardians were blinking away their shock. Trying to rid the colorless noise from their ears.
"Wha...What WAS that?" Choked Bunny, struggling to speak after what felt like One-hundred years of not doing so.
"It was..." Tooth struggled to find the right words. "The explosion was the potential paradox. Something that happened in the original memory, in the original happening, suddenly has the opportunity to change." She swallowed. "That was NOT supposed to happen."
She heard the monotone in her voice and realized just how shocked she was. Jack... Jack died like that? She thought he died THREE HUNDRED years ago when he fell through the ice, saving his little sister... At least, that was the memory of Jackson Overland... But Rose hadn't called him that... She's called him–
Jack Dawson.
Tooth gasped, slapping her hands over her mouth. "No!" She wailed. "How could I have been so stupid!"
She dimly heard the "What?"s from the other three, but couldn't answer as she was trapped in her own shock.
Jack saw the wrong memories.
That was the only explanation. Jackson OVERLAND– he was a poor Shepard boy from the seventeen hundreds. But Jack –their Jack, Jack Frost– he wasn't. He never had been. He was Jack...Dawson, whoever that was.
She explained it to the Guardians, who looked utterly confused, but she couldn't focus on that right now. At this moment, their priority was figuring out how to help Jack. There had to be some way to get him out of that memory. She turned towards his bed and–
It was empty.
Jack was gone.
A blur later, they were all searching. North ran around the pole, assisted by the elves and yetis. Bunny tunneled to all his known haunts: to the lake, Jamie's house, Antarctica, etc. Sandy, Tooth, and the Mini-fairies scoured the globe, even going as far as to look in the spot where the Titanic sank.
Nothing.
Six hours later, the Guardians were back at the pole, slouched exhaustedly in the globe room, clutching hot mugs of cocoa.
Suddenly, Bunny turned to Tooth and asked, "Where is he?"
Tooth was shocked. "Why are you asking me?!" She yelped.
Bunny's ears twitched with annoyance. "Well, aren' you supposed ta be the expert on this sorta thing?"
"What sort of thing?! I've never seen this before in my life!"
"Says the one who claims that she's been doin it fer the past seven hundred years!"
"Claims?!" Shrieked Tooth, leaping up from he chair as her wings buzzed angrily. "And do you honestly expect me to have all the answers?!"
"Well, yeah, I do, or what else or you good for!"
Tooth stared, shock freezing her heart in her chest. She tried to be calm, but a blind, uncontrollable rage fogged her mind and she yelled viciously, "Why do you even care? You've never even liked Jack! Ever since he became a Guardian, you've done nothing but make him think he's not worth it! But he's a thousand times the GUARDIAN you'll ever be!"
Bunny stared at her, shame and shock mingling in his gaze, and some part of Tooth's frenzied mind knew that what she was saying was not true. But before either of them could speak, North butted in.
"Toothy, that iz enough!"
She rounded on him, her defenses rising. "Oh, of course, side with him! Do you think I should know everything, too, North? You think there's nothing else I'm good for?"
North was aghast. "Toothy, no! And Bunny should not have said that, but-"
"Whose side are you on?" Roared Bunny. "Do you honestly think that I would be so horrible to Jack?"
North's patience hit rock bottom.
"BOTH OF YOU ARE WRONG! YOU ARE BEING SELFISH AND CHILDISH, LIKE–LIKE..."
"Like me?"
All the Guardians whipped around, including Sandy, who had just been watching the exchange with wide eyes.
"Or...us, rather?" Continued Jack Dawson, looking pensive.
"No, we're technically the same person..." Reasoned Jack Frost.
