Elsa's POV

"Look, this is all very flattering," Jack began. "but ah...you don't want me. You're all hard work and deadlines, and I'm snowballs and fun times. I'm not a Guardian."

"I agree" I mumbled. Everyone turned to me, North, Sandy, and Tooth glaring. "Fine. Jack I tlhink you are misunderstanding our work. Trust me when I say if it was like that, I wouldn't do it."

Tooth walked towards the giant globe, pointing towards it.

"Each of those lights is a child."

Jack looked up at the Globe, taking in the enormity of it, and scoped out its details.

North decided to help explain. "A child who believes. And good or bad, naughty or nice, we protect them… Pitch Black is back Jack."

"The boogeyman?" Jack asked. "That is all the more reason to pick someone more, you know, qualified."

"Pick?" North laughed. "You think we pick? No, man in the moon chose you, like he chose all of us."

North gestured to his fellow guardians.

"The man in the moon chose me?" Jack stared thoughtfully at the moon, his eyes wide. I recognized the emotion he was feeling immediately; he looked hurt. "After three hundred years this is your answer!"

"Tell me about it" I rolled my eyes. "Manny has a funny way of helping people out."

North shot me a quick glare. "This is destiny Jack. You see, you can not say no."

"Actually, I can" Jack pointed out. "I don't want to spend eternity like you guys cooped up in some, some hideout thinking of, of new ways to bribe kids? No no, that's not for me… No offense."

"No offense!" Bunny exclaimed. "How is that not offensive?"

Jack turned to leave, not bothering to listen to the cries of my fellow guardians. I couldn't help but notice our similar reactions to being chosen.

"You know what I think? I think we just dodged a bullet. I mean, what's this clown know about bringing joy to children anyway?"

This caused Jack to turn towards Bunny, giving him a half smirk as he rotated the position of the staff in his hand.

"Uhh, you ever hear of a snow day?" He asked. "I know it's no hard-boiled egg, but kids like what I do."

I felt my lips crack into a smile, as I restricted a laugh from coming through. Jack Frost may be obnoxious, but he has a good sense of humor. It wouldn't be half bad if he hung around.

"But none of 'em believe in you." Bunnymund leaned close to Jack's face. You could feel the heat radiating off Bunny. "Do they? You see, you're invisible, mate. It's like you don't even exist."

My own blood was beginning to boil. Jack looked absolutely stunned.

"You still don't get it!" I yelled. Everyone turned to face me. "No, Jack isn't believed in. And why you ask...because he was created that way. He didn't chose to be someone nobody believes in. Still, I admit it's better than being a little rabbit hopping around giving kids toothaches."

I leaned in close to the furious bunny, to whisper into his ear. "Which, by the way, your girlfriend has to deal with."

His face grew a little red, calming down my previous aggression. I gave a slight chuckle at his surprise. "I'm Cupid. You should have known I would find out."

The other guardians watched in confusion. Still I wasn't done with my speech. "Does anyone realize Jack has a whole season dedicated to him, and what does Bunny have? Bunny has one day; one day kids actually give a crap about the easter bunny. I'm glad you spread hope or whatever, but next time chose your words carefully. We both know sides aren't exactly set in stone."

I saw a bit of fear reach Bunnymund's eyes as he realized what I was referencing. I flew away quickly, leaving the group with their doubts about whether I would return.

Jack's POV

"What does she mean by that?" I asked North as Elsa flew away. North was showing me around.

"She...well Pitch thought with Elsa's powers, she would be a good addition to his team."

"Addition?" I asked. "She blows kisses at people, that doesn't exactly seem like a power that matches that of the nightmare king."

"You don't know?" North asked.

I raised my brow slightly in response.

"Elsa has ice powers too."

And she never told me. Why wouldn't she tell me we shared something so huge; the gift of Winter?

"What do ya think?" North asked, gesturing around him."

"I think we should slow down." I chuckled slightly. "I have been trying to bust into here for years, I want a good look."

"What do you mean 'bust in'?"

"Don't worry" I told him. "I never could make it past the yetis."

"Oh yes, remind me to thank them for that." North smiled, and I returned the simple action. Maybe not all the guardians are as bad as Bunny. Done actual interaction was rather nice.

"Look, it's nothing personal, North" I explained in all honesty. "What you all do, it's just, it's not my thing."

"Man in the moon says it's your thing." What does Manny know, I thought.

We walked in silence until we reached North's office. I spotted a portrait of him and the other guardians. I couldn't help but notice Elsa was missing.

"Where's Elsa?" I asked, my finger pointing at the portrait.

"Ah, yes. You are quite observant my friend. You see that was before Elsa was a guardian."

"But she's been one for awhile?" I asked. "Shouldn't you like, add her in?"

"Elsa didn't want to be in it" North explained, with a sigh. "The only guardian she seems to like is Sandy. Poor girl, she really wants to be believed in. She pours her heart out into her work."

And then I go in make it more difficult for her.

"So...was there something you wanted to show me?" I asked awkwardly.

North rolled up his sleeves, revealing tattoos on both of his arms. On one side it said 'nice', while the other read 'naughty'. He popped his knuckles walking towards me as I backed up.

"What is your center?" He asked.

"My center?" I questioned. What is a center?

"What can you spread to the children?

Nothing, I thought immediately. What could I offer?

"When you see me" North continued. "You see a large intimidating man. Yes? But if you get to know me…"

He handed me a Russian nesting doll. "You're downright jolly?" I guessed looking at the second layer of a typical happy Santa Claus.

"Ah, but not just that." North began removing layers one by one. "I am also mysterious. And fearless. And caring. And at my center…"

I looked at the last doll. "There's a tiny wooden baby?"

"Yes, but what do you notice?"

I stared at the doll, examining it. "You have big eyes" I told him finally.

"Yes! Big eyes. Very big. Because they are full! Of wonder! That is my center. It is what I was born with. Eyes that have always seen the wonder in everything!"

I thought hard about whether I had something I could relate this to. I must not have a center.

"The wonder is what I give the children. It is what makes me a guardian."

I stare at the wooden baby in my hand. Slowly, North closes my hand.

I see the truth he has. No, he isn't how I assumed he was. He is more caring than I gave him credit for.

Suddenly, Bunny bursted in. "Trouble with Elsa! She is really hurt!"

"Elsa?" I asked. I didn't wait for answer. Instead, I rushed out with North and Bunny.
