Song: Family
From: James and the Giant Peach
Jack had seen the northern lights and flown to the North pole as fast as he could. When he got there, all the lights were off and it was completely dark in the workshop. Landing softly next to the skylight window Jack peered inside. He didn't see or hear anything, quietly he open the window and asked the wind to slowly lower him.
"Only if you agree to me grabbing you and flying away at the slightest danger!" Wind replied.
With the deal struck Jack entered the workshop. He landed on the balcony with the globe's control panel, not so much as a jingle of an elf bell was heard. Staff at the ready Jack took one tentative step forward.
In a blinding flash all the lights came on and there was a loud shout of: "Surprise!" The wind, true to her word, had grabbed Jack when the light suddenly flashed on, but seeing the gathering below lowered the winter child back to the ground. The Big Four, all the yetis, elves, and mini fairies were gathered under a banner that read (in colorful precise brushstrokes) Happy Birthday Jack!
"We got you!" Bunny chided as he came and gave Jack a playful noogie.
"How… When… What?" Jack was so surprised and happy he couldn't find words to ask or express what he wanted.
"Manny told us this vas your birthday. Ve been vorking on surprise party for veeks now." North explained.
"This is amazing!" Jack finally was able to say.
There were laughs all around as the group led Jack to a table with a large ice cream cake, sporting Jack and a group of very familiar kids having a snowball fight on it.
The party had everything a piñata, party games, food, and to top it off gifts. Hanging Tooth's, and her fairies, feather ornaments to his staff Jack smiled at his teammates. Bunny's gift was a water painting kit for colorful art in the snow. Sandy gave him a travel pillow, a picture of Jack sleeping in a tree appeared above his head. The yetis had made him a custom snowboard and the elves had baked a bag of, slightly munched on, cookies.
North, not to be outdone (he was Santa Claus after all), brought an albino reindeer calf in and handed Jack the lead. "He all yours Jack, you can play and help care for him."
Tears filled Jack's eyes and he quickly tried to wipe them away. "You are all the best! I can't believe you did all this for me."
"Of course ve did, you family!"
"And we missed enough birthdays; it's time we made up for it." Bunny said agreeing with North statement.
"Family?! I'm… Family?!"
"Yes Jack." Tooth said while Sandy nodded and gave to thumbs up.
"You made us family Jack. Phil!" North called. The yeti who use to play with Jack and keep him out of the workshop when he tried to bust in, came forward and produced a violin. Smooth music wove through the air as the Big Four stood and turned to their youngest member. "We made this song to show you that."
(Start song here)
As a violin played and the guardians sang to him Jack felt more at home then he could remember ever feeling. Sandy then took Jack's hand and pulled him up to join the others.
Jack, tears of happiness falling freely, grabbed everyone including Phil into a group hug. "We're family." He said
They stayed like that, no one wanting to ruin the moment. That is until the calf let out a bay, asking for attention.
"Ha ha ha, okay I'm coming Rudi." Jack laughed as he patted the calf's head.
Sandy made a question mark at the name.
"I thought you'd call him something like Snowflake or Snowdrift." Tooth said.
"I thought along the lines of Blizzard." Bunny added.
"Nope, too obvious, he is different among the others so he's just like the reindeer from the Christmas movie. You know Rudolph."
That cause North to have a belly shaking laugh. "It is perfect! His many times great grandfather is Rudolph, fitting to be named after great deer."
"Wait! You mean Rudolph is real!"
