Hey, guys! Welcome back to Becoming a Guardian! Sorry I'm late, I got really sick last Wednesday with an especially bad cold that lasted about a week, so I was too sick to function for a while, making this chapter difficult to write, to say the least. But I'm here now, so let's get to the reviews!

Thanks so much to YourStranger15 (He's a smug little troublemaker, even while fun-sized XD), Demi clayton, Arbuzowaqueen, and Loftcat27 X2 for reviewing! Glad you guys all seem to love little Jack! XD

And with that, on with the chapter!

~ Little Snowflake, Part Three ~

It only takes about five minutes for North and Bunny to decide that me being turned into a little kid is definitely NOT funny, and is instead, a terrifying ordeal that must never be repeated again at any cost whatsoever.

I, meanwhile, am finally having fun.

I suppose I could go into detail about the events of the past five minutes, but uh...well, let me put it this way: kid me figured out how to fly.

Combine that with the previous snowball discovery, and...yeah I've basically been carpet bombing North and Bunny with snowballs this whole time. And it's honestly hilarious.

Remember how I mentioned my perfect aim in my dramatically timed ending last time? So yeah, the two of them might be fast, Bunny especially, but they're no match for the snowball-throwing skills of the Spirit of Winter, no matter how currently fun-sized I am. I've hit them with so much snow that even North is shivering, and he can handle the cold pretty damn well, which means a lot coming from me.

(And of course, Bunny's hopping around like mad, trying to simultaneously avoid getting hit—which he's obviously failing at—and regain some semblance of warmth despite his thoroughly soaked fur. Aww, poor baby...if you can't take the cold, don't try to blackmail Jack Frost. It just won't end well for you.)

Let me just say though, this has been going surprisingly well, especially considering the fact that I'm still not in control of my own tiny body. I guess that, despite everything, I should've had faith in little me. He is literally me, after all.

And as we all know, I'm a clever little troublemaker no matter what my current age is. It's just a fact of Jack.

While I'm floating high above (conveniently) the only two flightless Guardians and incessantly giggling as I mercilessly pelt them with snow, Bunny yells up at me, "Oi! Would ya knock that off!? It ain't funny anymore, mate!"

On the contrary, it's still hilariously funny, so...you can shut up, Cottontail.

Kid me seems to agree with regular me, as I merely laugh harder and drop a snowball directly on the kangaroo's face, causing him to splutter and curse under his breath. Heh...he's mad.

North tries a different approach, instead giving a (painfully forced) smile and calling out, "Jack! If you stop, I will give you cookies!"

Now, this one catches my attention for all of a few moments before I decide that, while cookies are great, this is much more fun. Good kid me. I've trained him well.

...I may also be starting to lose my mind, but that's beside the point.

So I completely ignore their pleads and threats, continuing to torture them like the tiny hellion that I am. At one point, North yells something unintelligible to a yeti, who promptly runs out of the room, but kid me doesn't seem to care much, so I just keep throwing snowballs. At least...until there comes a new voice from behind me, accompanied by the sound of buzzing wings.

"What is going on here!?"

...uh oh. Mama bird's here.

I slowly turn around to see a familiar fairy hovering behind me, arms crossed. Upon seeing me properly, however, her eyes widen in surprise.

"What...is going on here?" Tooth repeats, now stunned instead of angry. She stares at me for a moment, then down at North and Bunny, then back at me.

...so I guess when North sent that one yeti away, he was asking it to activate the Northern Lights in order to get the others here. Thus...here's Tooth, and I'm sure Sandy's on the way.

Normally, this would be the part where I cleverly explain my way out of trouble (or just kind of run away), but I don't really have the ability to do that at the moment. However, kid me seems to have an idea of his own. I giggle for like the thousandth time today and proclaim happily, "Fairy!"

...welp. At least I'm cute.

Tooth's eyes widen a little further and she looks back at North and Bunny again, clearly seeking an explanation.

"He got into potions!" North helpfully calls up to her, brushing the last bit of snow from his beard.

"Yeah, and he's been givin' us hell ever since!" Bunny adds angrily, his scowl visible even from this high up.

What can I say? Raising hell is part of the job description.

Thankfully, though, my young and adorable appearance at the moment seems to be working in my favor. Rather than immediately reprimanding me like she normally would, it seems as though Tooth is having trouble keeping a smile off of her face as she looks at me once more.

"Well..." she begins, fighting back a chuckle. "We can't have that, can we? Let's get you down, okay?" She reaches out and pulls me into her arms. Luckily for her, kid me seems to like her more than North and Bunny, so I let her take me down onto the ground without subjecting her to icy hell too.

When we reach the ground, she finally allows herself to smirk upon taking in North and Bunny's disheveled (and cold and wet) appearances. "So...you two have been letting yourselves get terrorized by a toddler?" she asks wryly, not bothering to conceal the giggle at their expense.

"I-Is not just any toddler!" North retorts defensively. "Is Jack! Spirit of Winter, expert of mischief...top of Naughty List for centuries!? Any bells rung!?"

Aw, thanks North! I always love when people recognize me for my true achievements in life.

"Whatever you say, North," she says, rolling her eyes slightly. "Anyway...is this why you activated the Aurora? Because you couldn't handle a de-aged Jack?"

North pauses. "...well when you put it like that, it sounds...sad," he says. Bunny facepalms, which I personally think is a pretty valid response.

"We ain't dealin' with him raisin' hell like this for any longer than we have ta," Bunny growls, giving me a sharp look. "Once Sandy gets here, we're havin' him knock the bloody kid out until he's back ta his normal self again."

"Are you sure?" Tooth asks. "He really doesn't seem so bad now—"

"We're not takin' any chances," Bunny cuts in. "We need ta get him sleepin' before he figures out he can create a blizzard in here!"

I must say, I'm offended. Thanks for the faith, buddy, love you too. Yeesh...

...though I guess I don't have control over myself, so...anything can happen.

Oh well.

Suddenly, North looks up at something behind me. "Ah, Sandy!" he calls, visibly relieved. "Finally, you are here! We need some help with something..."

About all I can recall from here is the golden light of dreamsand, then...nothing. Yep. I was just knocked out and left to sleep for two days until I returned to normal.

Kinda rude, don't you think? And just when I started enjoying myself, too...

Eh, maybe it's for the best. After all, I prefer actually being able to move myself over just watching myself do random, somewhat embarrassing things. I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't able to cause a bit more trouble in revenge for all those blackmail pictures those two took of me, but...I suppose this outcome isn't too bad.

After all...there are plenty more potions in that magic room to try out.

And there's the end of that arc! Hope you guys enjoyed, and I'll see you next time for something new!

For now, Sapphire316, out.
