A/N Ehh, I'm not very proud of this one, but the next one should be better. But I didn't want you all to wait, so here's the next chapter. Oh yeah, I'm only going to be answering certain reviews now, like ones with prompts, questions, or that I deem there needs to be a response to.
Guardian of Life: I know about the movie novelization, but I want to be surprised when the movie actually comes out. I don't want to know the main plot and major points of the movie.
Dee: Let's just say school has become very hard now, I mean come on, I have two science projects to do. Two! Thank you very much.
Midnight the Black Fox: Yeah, I tried making the Titanic one realistic. Jack Frost most likely did do that.
P.G.F: Oh my Chuck(Supernatural reference for all you Supernatural fans out there, including me) Those songs do describe Jack pretty well. 0_0
OceanHime- Thanks. I honestly think that is the best way to get someone to see RotG
Frostiegurl: You have given me an idea. Jack should be afraid, very afraid.
Jack: I am already! What are you going to do to me now?
Me: Not gonna tell.
Jack Winter Frost: Yeah, well, my Muse had been overactive the last couple weeks. Now, is it just me or does your story Beginning of a Legend reference some of these oneshots? Or am I just crazy? Kidnap prompt, definitely.
Mery Storm: Jack definitely is cute. * pulls mini Jack into a hug* I mean, come on, you just can't stand his adorableness.
SokkasFirstFangirl: Jack always equals cute. Yep, movie on opening day.
Danny Hellcat: Yeah, except that would cause to many problems. When Jack was six he lived in the colonies, to have him only remember this would scare and confuse him way to much. How are you suppose to explain to a boy who only remembers the colonies what TV is? Or DS?
Dominosowner: Yes, those three magical words.
Shino: Um, on my list 4-7 would probably be good for a comic. There a continuation of Jack becoming a fearling. Um, just a suggestion but, it might be easier for us to collab if you had an account. Just a suggestion. But, 1-9 on this story has pretty short chapters that could easily be made into a comic. But I think any of these would work, and I still have like a dozen prompts that would probably work.
Kurama111: Yep, two updates in one day, record. Well, you'll have to see about the Guardians being good parents. Remember, they haven't had to take care of a child for hundreds of years.
Midnight Lupus: Omg, you just read my mind. I've already got your finished, it will be being posted after this story arc is over. It will be the first ever unhappy ending I've written.
I am psychowriter: I definitely agree with the Supernatural thing. I myself was a fan, but kinda stopped watching it during season 7, it just went downhill for me.
SugarSweetObsessed: * laughs out loud* You know, I did nearly the same thing with my family. A RotG commercial came on, I ran from my room on the other side of the house, hearing it playing, and forced everyone to watch it.
Hakuai-animelover135: I'll try to figure out the answers for those questions. My theory is that they are like the Greek Gods, they still need to eat and sleep but less than normal people/mortals(got that from PJO) So maybe instead of every night they only sleep every three.
MekoAmi1216: Ahh, the books. I have them and have yet to read them. * mutters under breath* stupid Hobbit for taking me so long to read you.
RobinMakesMeHappy: Jack Frost Christmas ornament. Must have.
Disclaim: I do not own RotG
Warning: Spanking in this chapter, don't like don't read
After Jack had finished his snack North took him into the main part of the workshop. By now Jack had warmed up and stopped shivering fully, so North begrudgingly agreed to let Jack get rid of the blankets and extra layers of clothing. North had also called the other Guardians, since he had just realized that he was now behind in the toy making, so he had some work to do. Sow while North was going to check over some toys Jack was to stay in a certain spot.
"Remember, don't go anywhere until telling and getting permission from Phil or me. Understood?" North asked as he eyed the boy sitting in front of him.
"Understood North," Jack nodded his head like he was agreeing with himself, "Don't move without either yours or Phil's permission. Otherwise just stay here, you'll be back in a couple minutes."
North blinked once. He hadn't really expected Jack to understand and, apparently, agree with him. Maybe Jack as a young child was better mannered than Jack as an eighteen year old immortal. "Okay then, it should only take me at most fifteen minutes to go around. Stay here."
With that North turned and walked away from Jack, leaving the boy sitting there, swinging his legs back and forth. It took only three minutes for Jack to become bored. Wonder if there is anything to play with around here. Maybe I could go search for something to play with...No! North told me to stay here. But...I'm not North's son, he's not my dad, I don't have to listen to him. Besides, what would a couple minutes away from here do? Decision made Jack jumped down from his seat and effectively evaded all elves and yetis as he made his way out of the workshop.
It was so much bigger than when he had been eighteen, this was painfully obvious to Jack. He couldn't help but shrink back as he passed the giant elves and tall displays of toys. At one point Jack began to run around the yetis and elves, miraculously not gaining any of the yetis or elves attentions.
In a couple minutes Jack had reached the room that held the giant globe. Hundreds of little golden lights were flashing on it as Jack walked into the room. Jack smiled as he knew what all those lights meant, a child's beliefs in the Guardians. This meant that Pitch wasn't tormenting them, that they were safe, for now.
Jack looked around the room, trying to find something to play with. The room was fairly big, but there was not much to play with. There was the globe, the control panel for calling the Guardians, an armchair, and small refrigerator. Wait, refrigerator? Refrigerator. A sly smile spread across Jack's face as he walked towards the refrigerator.
Wrenching the door open Jack shifted through it. There was some eggnog, milk, and cookie dough. That was it, but that was enough for Jack. With a smile and small whoop of delight Jack grabbed out the eggnog and cookie dough before heading back to the arm chair.
It was a little hard for Jack to get into the chair, having to put the snacks on the chair before climbing into it himself, but soon enough he had his legs over one edge of the chair and was stuffing cookie dough into his mouth. Hmm, this is good. Jack thought as he stuffed more cookie dough into his mouth, quickly followed by a big gulp of eggnog. This continued for a while longer, Jack not even caring that North didn't know where he was, or that he shouldn't be eating sweets.
North quickly ran through the Pole, trying to get through the checking of the toys as quickly as possible, he wanted to get back to Jack as quickly as possible. He hadn't liked the idea of leaving Jack there, but he also didn't like the idea of bringing Jack along and having underfoot. So now he was trying to race through the checking, worried that Jack wouldn't listen to him and would get hurt, somehow.
"Hey North!"
North jumped three feet in the air as he spun around, seeing the Guardians standing in front of him. Bunnymund looked bored, although North could tell he was happy to be there. Sandy looked excited, most likely at the prospect of playing with a six year old Jack. And Tooth, who was the one that had startled North, looked more excited than North had seen her in years.
"Hello Tooth," North said tiredly, he really wasn't in the mood to have the Guardians and Jack to watch over, then again, maybe the Guardians could help.
"Where's Frost?" Bunnymund asked, looking around as if trying to spot Jack.
"He's that a way," North pointed in the direction of where he had left Jack, "He's suppose to stay there till I'm done, but if you guys want to play with him then be my guest."
Sandy and Tooth smiled in happiness before dashing off in the direction North had pointed to, not even waiting for Bunnymund or talking anymore with North. They just wanted to see their friend.
"So, are you going to go after them or what?" North asked as he eyed Bunnymund curiously.
"Guess I'm going after them, they'll probably suffocate Frost with their hugs," Bunnymund shrugged as he hopped off after the other two Guardians.
North just shook his head, knowing the real reason Bunnymund wanted to go see Jack. His reasons were exactly like Tooth's and Sandy's, he wanted to play with a six year old Jack. No matter how much he denied it North knew that he cared about Jack just as much as the rest of them did. North turned back to the toy he had been expecting before Tooth's interruption, unfortunately he only got five minutes of quiet before Tooth flew back into the room with the others.
"North!" Tooth shouted as she flew up to North, fluttering around nervously. "We can't find Jack!"
"What?!" Out of everything North had expected that was not one of them.
"We checked everywhere, matey. He was nowhere, we even asked the yetis. No one has seen him," Bunnymund said as he hopped up to North, Sandy following behind him with a worried look on his face.
"Then we've got to find him! Come on!" north raced in the direction they had come from, praying that somehow he would find Jack in that vicinity.
How could I have lost him twice?
"Jack!" North shouted as he spotted the boy in the Globe Room.
North couldn't believe it, neither could the other Guardians. Jack had been here the whole time, pigging out on cookie dough and eggnog. North was very angry at that. He had told Jack to stay in that spot for only a couple minutes, and instead he had went off to eat sweets.
The other Guardians had different opinions though. Sandy found it fairly funny, and adorable. Tooth was shaking her head but a small, humorous smile was on her face as she looked at the cute boy. Bunnymund had honestly been expecting something like this so he just shook his head and rolled his eyes, ignoring the others in the room.
"This whole time you've been eating cookies!" North couldn't stop himself from yelling, he had been panicking over what might have happened to the boy, and he didn't even seem to care.
"Cookie dough," Jack said meekly, but at the glare North shot him he hesitantly nodded his head in agreement.
"Do you know how long we were searching for you? How scared we were? For all we knew you could have been captured by Pitch! You were suppose to stay at that one spot! But instead you disobey me and chose to eat sweets while scaring us all half to death!"
"North," Tooth tried.
"No Tooth. He has to learn not to disobey," North never took his eyes off of Jack.
"North," Jack whispered, grabbing his stomach.
"Don't 'North' me, and stop your puppy dog eyes!" North continued to yell at Jack, not noticing the slight green tinge appearing on his face.
Jack hadn't been giving the puppy dog eyes, but had instead had been trying to convey to North that he needed to leave, now. Unfortunately, North hadn't noticed in his anger, which left Jack with one choice as he felt his stomach grumble in protest to the sweets he had consumed. Jack jumped off from the arm chair, ignoring North's shouting protests, and ran to the closest trash can in the room. He barely made it before his stomach emptied itself of all contents.
The Guardians winced as the sound of violent retching reached their ears. Tooth and Sandy were immediately at Jack's side, gently rubbing his back and, in Tooth's case, saying comforting things to the boy. Bunnymund just shook his head, not going over there because he didn't know how to deal with children.
North's eyes had widened by now, realizing the whole time he had been berating Jack, Jack had been feelings sick. After a couple minutes the retching finally finished, Jack collapsing on his back and leaning in to Tooth's touch. North quietly walked over and placed a hand to Jack's forehead.
"No fever," North declared. "Must just be a stomachache from all the sugar." North carefully picked up the boy, cradling him in his arms.
"Sandy," Jack whispered.
Sandy jumped into the air, using a small dream-cloud to hold him up. For the whole time it took to walk to Jack's room Sandy was creating images for the little boy, trying to take his mind off of his hurting stomach. When they reached Jack's room North gently laid him down on the bed, pulling the covers up to Jack's chin like he had earlier. Sandy sprinkled some dream-sand over the boy, and soon Jack's eyes had closed and over his head images of dolphins appeared.
North looked behind him, noticing for the first time that it was only him and Sandy who had brought Jack to his room. Sandy smiled at North before floating out the door, leaving 'father and son' alone. North smiled in the direction Sandy had left before leaning over Jack and gently placing a kiss on his forehead.
"Good night, Jack."
"I'm sorry North," Jack cried as he stared up at his guardian, quite literally.
"You need to learn not to disobey," North wasn't going to budge, not this time at least.
It was two days after the cookie dough and eggnog incident. By now Jack had gotten completely better and no longer had a stomachache, which meant punishment time for disobeying. Currently North had Jack over his knees for a spanking. Bunnymund had told him after some prompting that this was what most parents did when a young child misbehaved, so North had decided that it would be good punishment. He had already explained to Jack why he was being punished, and the boy seemed to understand, but still he tried to fight it.
"I'm sorry Jack, but you need to learn,"
With that North began the spanking. It only lasted for a minute, maybe a minute in a half, and North made sure not to hurt Jack badly, being soft with the smacks. But by the end Jack was sobbing his eyes out. North winced as he straightened the boy up so that Jack was fully sitting in his lap. North pulled the child into his arms, holding the boy tightly against his chest.
"Shh, it's okay Jack, no more spanking," north soothed as he ran a hand through the child's hair.
"P-Promise?" Jack asked through the sobs.
"I promise," North continued to hold the child for a few more minutes before the sobbing finally quieted down.
North gently pushed the boy from his chest, looking Jack in the eye, "You do understand why you were punished, right?"
Jack sniffled but still nodded, "I-I ran a-away when I-I was s-suppose to stay. I-I shouldn't h-have done t-that. I-I'm so-oorry North."
This time it was the child who flung his arms around North's neck, clinging to him as he buried his face into the crook of North's neck. North whispered soothing words to the child as he rubbed Jack's back in soothing motions. Soon enough this crying fit had stopped and Jack was just lying in North's arms. North was willing to stay in this spot forever, but fate seems to hate him, for at that moment a yeti burst into the room. What it said made North's blood go cold. For what the yeti said was:
Pitch Black is here.
A/N Yes, cliffhanger. * Evil laugh* But anyhow, I found out something about one of my friends.
In math class a week ago, teacher says something about how we aren't comparing the problem to the climate. Idk?*
Me: We aren't comparing Jack Frost and the Easter Bunny either.
Friend: Jack Frostttt...He's so cute isn't he?
Me: 0_0 Do you like Rise of the Guardians.
Friend: Duh, yeah.
* Couple days later *
Friend: *starting to panic because she left something important to another friend outside in the Quad *
Me: Jack Frost!
Friend: * in a dreamy voice * Jack Frost * eyes glaze over*
