Sup guys? So I have chosen a cupcake and the credit goes to Mystichawk! She did have two requests but one stood out to me! The idea was just awesome and I loved the combination too. I will be using others in future chapters but for now, we will seeing Mystichawk's design! Thanks for the idea and the credit goes to you Mystichawk! :D
Here are the other entries and I will be using them and all credit goes to these reviewers!
E: White chocolate flavored, orange flavored icing (some melted white chocolate in the middle to make it into some sort of lava cake.) The appearance would be to have the cake part stay white, but the icing is blue with green sprinkles.
Sapphira Volkov: Cobalt blue with an icing wave and little dolphins riding the icing waves.
candycanelila: An exotic fruit cupcake with simple designs.
I think that is everyone but if it isn't, I am sorry. If you want to submit a cupcake design, leave on in your review if you want :)
And in answer to a reviewer, I will not be pairing Starling with Jack!
If he is being paired with anyone in my stories, he is paired with my OC Celina Birdling (aka: Black Sparrow) and that is the only pairing that I will do!
One other thing, I feel like punching a hole through the wall. I was updating something in the local library since my laptop crashed for a bit again and had saved a chapter onto my USB so I could post it. Now this chapter was for the Guardians at High school. Just my luck, when I was about to post it, I had forgotten to return a book in so I left the computer and I went to the desk to return the book. I turned the monitor off so the screen was blank but the computer was still on. when I came back, do you know what happened? Some Year 7's I knew from my school were on my computer and were mucking around on it! I practically yelled at them and when they left my computer, do you know what they did? They had deleted The Guardians of High School story and one of my other ones! I was fuming! Since I only have a few stories saved on my USB, I didn't have those two stories saved on there and just my luck, when I got home to check on my laptop, some of my stories had gotten lost! Thankfully, some were completed ones but two of them were the ones that were deleted! So unfortunately, I will not be completing those two anymore. I am so so so sorry to those who were reading them.
Anyway, on the brighter side, on with the chapter we go then!
After minute or two, the Guardians were by the Globe with Bunny sitting on a stool with Tooth dabbing his head with a wet cloth. Bunny kept trying to push it away as it was annoying him but Tooth wasn't backing off.
"Knock it off Shelia" he mumbled.
"I don't think so, she gave you quite a bruise there and a big scratch that is bleeding bad" she said. Jack sniggered and Bunny glared at him.
"What's so funny?" he asked and Jack looked up.
"You got a smack down from a girl. What happened to the Master of Tai Chi?" Jack said teasingly.
"Ah shut up!" Bunny said, blushing in embarrassment. Sandy silently laughs at Bunny and North does too.
"Well, I think we know that she does a little more than make cupcakes. Jack, will you go and find her? We will try a different approach this time" North said and Jack shrugged.
"Yeah sure. But if I get a cupcake to the face, I give up" Jack said and then Bunny looked at him.
"At least come back so I can take a picture" he said and Jack stuck his tongue out at him before running off to the kitchen.
When Jack arrived outside the kitchen, he was surprised to see a queue of elves outside and it stretched into the kitchen too. Jack even saw some yetis standing outside. He then saw one elf coming out and he was holding a blue cupcake and was licking the icing off it energetically.
Curiously, Jack walked through the doors and into the kitchen to see Starling by the big table in the middle of the kitchen with several bowls, egg cartons and icing sugar scattered across the table. She had her jacket off so she flour was on her pink t-shirt and her brown and pink hair was up in a pink ponytail and there was even some flour on her cheeks.
She was mixing something in the big mixing bowl until the ping of the oven went off and she turned around and pulled a tray of cupcakes out that were a light golden colour. She placed them on the table and then she did something odd. When she took them off the cooking tray and put them on a big plate, she hovered her hand over the mixing bowl and to Jack's astonishment, blobs of white icing came out of the bowl and it went over each cupcake and then she clicked her fingers and they dropped onto the cupcakes.
Starling then made her finger go in the shape of a circle and the icing on the cupcake started to swirl up like a roundabout until it stopped with a neat little point at the top. She then rubbed her hands together and then blew something off her hands and onto the cupcakes that was a dark brown colour. Jack then watched, fascinated, as she clicked her fingers one more time and a few beans that were coated in chocolate and vanilla and Jack guessed that they were coffee beans, appeared on the top off the cupcakes.
Starling the smiled and picked up the plate and kneeled down to the line of the elves and started to hand the cupcakes out to them. Once they got all of them and ran off in glee, she started to hand them out to the yetis who eagerly accepted as they wanted something for their break.
Once all of them had cleared off and Jack was the only one there, Starling leaned on the table and smirked. "You want one too?" she asked, picking the last cupcake off the table and holding it out for Jack, "I don't want it to go to waste."
Jack shrugged, "Sure, why not?" he said, taking the cupcake and biting into it and he watched Starling clean up.
"To think I can make cupcakes appear out of nowhere, I can't make the dishes clean themselves" she grumbled and Jack laughed and nearly choked on the cupcake. His face then scrunched up at the taste that filled his mouth.
It tasted of peppermint at first but then spearmint came in as well as vanilla that made a wonderful combination. The icing turned out to be vanilla and grinded coffee powder went well with the vanilla and coffee beans and icing too.
Jack swallowed it all at once and shovelled in the rest of the cupcake and Starling laughed as she put the last of the dishes away. "I guess you like it huh? I call it the Mint Mocha Magic cupcake" she asked, running a hand through her hair and Jack nodded.
"Yes! I have never tasted something like this!" he said, spraying crumbs everywhere and Starling looked down at the crumb covered floor.
"I'm not cleaning that up" she said with a raised eyebrow.
Jack let out a burp and then looked at her. "I never expected you to have a temper like that" he said and Starling shrugged.
"Meh, I hung out with the Fire Spirit, Burner. He showed me how to unleash my temper and it did a lot of good as other spirits push me around and bully me so I taught them a lesson. Now they are a bit more wary of me. I'm not all sugar, I also have a little spice" Starling said with a chuckle as she sat on the table.
Jack cocked his head to one side. "Really, you too?" he asked, coming up to sit beside her.
"What do you mean?" Starling asked.
"Well, Bunny used to… well, he still is mean but he was meaner back then, especially back when I accidently caused the blizzard of 68. That benefited no one" Jack said and Starling laughed.
"Are you kidding me? It benefited me! I watched the Summer Spirit, Serena have a full blown temper tantrum. My camera caught the whole thing! High HD footage too" she said with a laugh. Jack laughed but then he looked confused.
"Wait, the blizzard of 68 happened before digital cameras were invented. How could you use that?" Jack asked.
"You know your history" Starling commented and Jack leaned on his staff.
"I know my blizzard history" he replied. "Steven Sasson invented the first digital camera!"
Starling gave a cocky smirk, "Who do you think gave him the idea?"
Jack's eyes widened, "Seriously?" he asked with a jaw drop. Starling nodded.
"As serious as the time I kicked the shit out of the Leprechaun" she said.
"What? Why did you do that? He's nice!" Jack said.
"No he is not! I popped over to Ireland to see if I could find any inspiration for any new cupcake designs and what happened? He lunged at me and threw his whisky all over me! I stank for a week and I was sick all week!" she said angrily.
Jack sniggered, "Yikes."
Starling's smile then returned, "But yeah, I'll show you the video later when I get out of here!" she said smiling.
Jack's smiled at the thought of seeing Serena having a temper tantrum as he didn't like her very much but his smile faded when she finished at the last bit. "Leave? So you don't want to be a Guardian?" Jack asked.
"Well, I don't see the point of me being a Guardian. Like Bunny said, I don't have a day, month or season like you or the other spirits in the world. Everyone has a purpose. Expect me" she said with a sad smile.
"Well… Death doesn't have a day, month or season does he?" Jack exclaimed.
"He has a purpose though doesn't he? People believe in him for that" Starling said sadly. She then pulled on her grey jacket and slipped off the table and was about to walk to the door until North burst through.
Starling literally raised her hands like a ninja and Jack almost fell off the table. "Wow Santa, take a chill pill!" Starling said, lowering her hands and placing her hand on her chest and took a deep breath.
"What is it?" Jack asked, getting up off the floor.
"It's Pitch! He is giving out nightmares to kids in China! We must go!" North bellowed.
"Right on it!" Jack said, running to the door but skidded to halt and looked at Starling.
"Come on, just help us out one more time!" Jack pleaded. Starling folded her arms.
"Mmm… what's in it for me?" Starling asked.
"Saving children!" North said and Starling nodded.
"Keep going!" she said making a hand gesture.
Jack grinned, "I will freeze Bunny and you can tape his reaction" Jack said.
Starling considered this and grinned. "Sure why not?!" she said happily.

Everyone had headed to the sleigh and got in although Bunny had to be dragged in but Starling didn't get in. Bunny smirked at her.
"What's wrong? Scared?" he asked.
"Says the rabbit who had to be dragged in the sleigh by his tail" Starling said with an eye roll and Bunny inched down in the seat with a grumpy face.
"Why don't you want to get in?" North asked and Starling grinned.
"Fancy a race North?" she asked and North smiled.
"Yes I love to race! But what will you be racing on?" North asked and Starling grinned from ear to ear.
"While I was making cupcakes, I asked a yeti to bring my ride from my home. Bring it in Phil!" Starling called. A grunt was heard and a scarping noise got louder as Phil push the vehicle forward and Jack's jaw dropped at the sight of it.
So what is my mystery ride? You know what to do to find out! Thirteen reviews for me please and I will send out Mystichawk's cupcake idea to each of you who review! :D Bye for now!
