Destiny : Jack
Sleigh Ride
Then, something suddenly jets past a window outside. Almost simultaneously, Bunny and Sandman come running down the hallway toward North and Jack.
BUNNYMUND
We have a problem, mate! Trouble at the Tooth Palace.
"There's a tooth palace?" asked Pippa, excited.
"Sure is" smiled Tooth, "we all have our bases."
"Really?" asked Jamie.
"Yep, I've got the North Pole, Bunny has his Warren, Tooth has her palace and Sandy has a dream castle which comes whenever he needs" explained North.
"What about you?" Anya asked Jack.
"I don't have anywhere. I sleep when ever I can get peace" said Jack. Anya melted.
CUT TO:
SEQ. 1204 - SLEIGH LAUNCH
INT. LAUNCHING SHED - A MOMENT LATER
North shoves open a set of double doors, followed closely by Bunny, Sandy, and Jack. Several Yeti's rush by as they prepare the hangar for launch.
NORTH (O.S.)
(TO YETIS)
Boys, ship shape. As soon as impossible.
JACK
North, North! I told you, I'm not going with you guys! There is no way I'm climbing into some rickety old...
Suddenly: the SOUND of POUNDING HOOVES. BEASTLY SNORTING.
SANTA'S INCREDIBLE SLEIGH comes into view. It's a huge, shiny, tricked out, jaw-dropping hot-rod of a sled.
"Holy..." said Jared, staring in awe at the sleigh. North laughed.
"Impressed" he smirked, a twinkle in his eye, "made her myself, I did."
JACK
...sleigh.
Jack is understandably gob-smacked, so much so that he almost gets knocked over by one of the reindeer.
Emma laughed.
JACK
Whoa!
NORTH
(TO REINDEER)
Hey! Moi deti, moi deti. Quiet, quiet.
The sleigh comes to a standstill as the Guardians prepare to climb inside. Several Yetis are still running around making last minute preparations.
Everyone watches as future North and the other two stare at Jack, until ...
JACK
Okay, one ride, but that's it.
Jack jumps aboard. North smiles knowingly, and climbs inside. Sandy hops up into the back seat.
NORTH
Everyone loves the sleigh.
"Not me" said Bunny, crossing his paws over one another, "that thing is deathtrap."
North grabs the reigns, wrapping them around his arms. He turns to see Bunnymund standing there, frozen and unnerved.
NORTH (CONT'D)
Bunny, what are you waiting for?
BUNNYMUND
I think my tunnels might be faster, mate. And um, and safer.
"Are you scared?" Jack asked, he could use this.
"No on your nelly, but that thing is a deathtrap. Why can't anyone hear me?"
NORTH
Ah, get in.
(hoists Bunnymund up)
Buckle up!
Bunny desperately looks around his seat.
BUNNYMUND
Whoa, whoa, whoa, where are the bloody seatbelts?!
"You are scared" laughed Jack. The children laughed as well. Bunny went a light pink and lowered himself a little further in his seat.
No. He wasn't scared of the flying coffin.
NORTH
(LAUGHS)
That was just expression!
North turns to one of the Yetis .
NORTH
Are we ready?
The Yeti throws his hands up in a fit shaking his head no.
"I think he's saying no" said Anya.
"I don't think he is" chucked North.
NORTH
Good! Let's go! Clear!
(cracks the reigns)
Hyah!
The sleigh is off. Elves and yetis scatter out of its path. Sandy, Bunny, and Jack fly back into their seats. Bunny clutches the edge of his, terrified. Jack can't help but laugh.
NORTH
Out of the way!
The sleigh heads down a luge-like track. North and Jack are enjoying the ride.
"You both are insane!" yelled Bunny.
"No," said Tooth, "they are both winter sprits. They are known to be more reckless."
NORTH
Hyah!
BUNNYMUND
Ohhhhhh no!
North cracks the reigns, the sleigh plummets, an almost vertical drop. Sandy grins calmly. Jack loves this. Bunnymund - not so much.
"Yeah" argued Bunny, "what about Sandy?"
"He's just an adrenaline junkie" said Tooth. Sandy silently laughed.
BUNNYMUND
(WALLA)
Slow down, slow down!
North pulls a lever, kicking the sleigh into overdrive. He looks back as the sleigh enters a corkscrew.
NORTH
I hope you like the loopty loops!
BUNNYMUND
(NAUSEOUS)
I hope you like carrots.
"Ew" chorused the children.
NORTH
Here we go!
"Wow" said Jamie. He had always wanted to fly. But Sophie didn't like planes so they took a boat everywhere.
WIDE SHOT as the sleigh reaches the bottom of the ramp, and shoots upwards, launching them into bright blue sky.
JACK
WOOO-HOOOOOO!
EXT. SLEIGH - FLYING THROUGH THE SKY - CONTINUOUS
North, reins in hand, leans into the wind as the reindeer climb higher.
NORTH
Klasno!
Jack, in his element, leaps up onto the rear of the sleigh to watch the North Pole fade into the distance.
JACK
(LAUGHS)
Whoa!
Bunnymund peaks off the side of the sleigh, then leans back, and holds on for dear life.
JACK
Hey, Bunny-
Bunny turns to see Jack standing on the back edge of the sleigh.
JACK
Check out this view-
EEEYAAAAGGHGHH!
Jack is SWEPT OFF the sleigh and disappears!
Anya gasps and grabs Jack, who jumps and slowly shakes her arms off, confused.
"I'm fine" he said, frowned. Anya blushed.
"I knew that" she said, fixing her skirts.
Bunny gasps in horror and looks over the side...only to see Jack lounging on the sleigh's skid.
JACK
Awww...you do care.
BUNNYMUND
Ah, rack off you bloody show pony!
Bunny glowers as Jack makes his way back into the sleigh.
NORTH
Hold on everyone, I know a shortcut.
"A shortcut?" asked Jamie.
"How do you think I travel the world in 24 hours?" asked North.
BUNNYMUND
Oh strewth, I knew we should have taken the tunnels.
North holds a snow globe up to his face.
NORTH
I say, Tooth Palace.
An image of the Tooth Palace appears inside the snowglobe.
"Pretty" giggled Sophie.
North throws the globe into the air and a giant vortex opens.
NORTH
Hyah!
EXT. SKY - SLEIGH JETTING THROUGH THE SKY
A surreal light surrounds the sleigh as it hits HYPERDRIVE and gets sucked through the snow-globe portal with a WHOOSH.
Bunny looks ill.
"Are you going to throw up?" asked Jack, smiling.
"No" said Bunny.
"You're not even on the sleigh" said Tooth.
"I know that."
