Part 1
Now, after the victory, Jack Frost was with the keepers at the North Pole, they were discussing the victory over Pitch Black.
-You're the keeper now, Jack. And we are very happy. - said the Tooth Fairy.
- Not all of them!- the Bunny frowned. - What about my spoiled Easter???
- Don't worry so much, Easter is not Christmas!-the North replied.
- Somehow Easter is not important, in fact, I have a perishable product, and I need to have time to paint millions of eggs and distribute them to children! - the Bunnymund swung a boomerang.
Meanwhile, a Tooth flies between them and counts how many teeth need to be collected by talking to tooth crumbs.
- We need 456 teeth to collect, girls, look at what teeth, they are so white!!!
Sandy is sleeping. Jack watches this spectacle from the sidelines with a smile.
- Tooth, tell me that Christmas is more important than this Easter, TOOTH!-the Nort shouted, waking up the Sandman as well. - Sandy, well, at least tell me, ah!
- And what I do not know, well, maybe it is not important, and now do not distract me from work, there are so many baby teeth! - said the Tooth.
- Sandman, what do you think??? The North shouted.
- "I don't know."- the Sandman showed his whole appearance.
This skirmish did not last long until the Tooth told them not to quarrel, because today is a holiday.
After the holiday, Jack flew home to visit Jamie.
Jack's POV
Today is such a strange day, so many events have happened, we must definitely discuss with Jamie.
- Wind, carry me home! - shouted to the wind.
While the wind was carrying me to the lake with a howling hum, and then to Jamie's house, I thought a lot about whether I should fly there, or maybe Jamie had already forgotten about me and would pass through me like in the past times. And this means that I will feel abandoned, forgotten. Even frost spirits like me are able to feel the cold, this cold is completely different, it penetrates through the soul, getting stuck in the very heart. I remembered this feeling for a long time and the fear of loneliness and forgetfulness did not leave me for a long time. After I became a guardian, someone had to believe in me, otherwise I would have lost my abilities and died soon.
Such a price to pay for being a keeper of joy. But let's not talk about the bad, I think Jamie will never forget about me and many people will believe in me.
I stood at the window and saw Jamie doing homework. He was very keen on this activity, at first I did not want to disturb him, but suddenly remembered the feeling of alienation. I knocked softly twice. Now I feel really awkward, can't he hear me? But then I calmed down, Jamie was probably doing his homework. I decided to open the window a little and go into my room.
- Jamie, hi, it's Jack!-I said.
He mumbled something, and then turned his head at me.
- Jaack, it's you, I've been waiting for you.Jamie threw himself into a hug.
- Okay, that's enough, you'll strangle me, let go! - I croaked, gasping, yes, we spirits also need air!
- Jamie, let's go play snowballs, huh?
- No, Jack, I can't, my lessons are not finished, and tomorrow is the math test, our math teacher is very strict, no, I can't unfortunately.-Jamie released me.
- Very sorry.
- And then what will we do???
- You know, I'll probably do my homework for a long time, and then I'll go to bed. Jack, can you play with someone else?-Jamie replied.
- Okay, bye, then let's see you tomorrow.- I didn't show that I was upset, but I was glad that he could see me. I decided to fly out of the window and sped off in an unknown direction.
End of Jack's POV
Jack flew around the globe for a long time and pondered about life, why the MIM did not talk to him, why the keepers bypassed him and why he was so lonely in this world. He decided to walk around the city at night, but then he took off abruptly, from a nagging sense of loneliness, freezing the road as well. Then the influx of feelings weakened and he began to do his frosty work, he froze pipes, created new snowballs and decorated windows with patterns. When he had done his job, he decided that he would go to visit the tooth fairy, find out how she got faith from the children and talk a little about life.
Arriving at the Tooth Fairy, he did not immediately find her, but her Baby Tooths surrounded him, telling something in a squeaky language and touching his teeth.
- Girls, where's Tuffiana?-Jack said, pulling away from the annoying hummingbirds.
- Pipipi! -squeaked Baby Teeths.
- I don't understand, can you show me where she is?-Jack said.
The Baby Tooths squeaked together and took him to the tooth fairy. Meanwhile, Tuof, was engaged in laying out teeth and counting, also watched the memories of children and was touched by their childhood.
-The upper right 13 tooth was knocked out after skating, girls, look how she cleaned the tooth, it's so white!
Baby Tooths eagerly squeaked. Then a Tooth with multicolored eyes flew in and squeaked to her.
- Jack has come, let's make tea and put sweets, but don't forget to brush your teeth! - said Tooth Fairy.
- Hi, Tooth.-Jack said. - I wanted to ask you something very important.
- Ask well, but let's sit down at the table.-Tooth said, putting her hand on Jack's shoulder.
Together they flew around the whole castle and went into the gazebo, where the crumbs put a lot of sweets on the table and brewed very strong tea. This gazebo shimmered with different colors because of the sun's rays. Each ray emitted a rainbow reflection and shone very beautifully. This is an incredible place where you can enjoy the tranquility from the eternal bustle that always happens in the castle of the Tooth Fairy. Jack had the feeling that fairies never sleep and are always in a hurry. And the thought of how they all manage? This fuss was a little annoying, but it was very calm and beautiful here.
- Jack? What did you want to ask?-Tooth asked softly, looking with purple eyes at Jack's teeth.
- Tooth. Very few children believe in me.-Jack replied, a little upset, covering the table with icing.- Could you tell me where you got such great faith from? How did they start believing in you?
-Okay, okay, Jack, I'll tell you.-Tooth smiled sweetly.
- It all started with the fact that I saw a very beautiful Moon, it was MIM was so bright and so beautiful. He told me my name, who I should be, then I didn't have Baby Tooths. I collected the teeth myself, it took me a long time to get faith in myself. But they gradually began to believe in me, at first it was one child, I remember her, it was a girl about 10 years old, her right front tooth, incisor fell out. You can't imagine what teeth she had, they were beautiful for those times, we were very attached to each other. She helped me in my faith. Oh, I totally forgot to tell you her name was Kate. Kate was friends with many children and soon not only she, but also the rest of the children in her village began to believe in me. But, unfortunately, her life was quickly cut short, she died when she was 12 years old. And I couldn't do anything, she died in my arms. I couldn't fly to this village for a long time, but then when I overcame my longing, I saw a Baby Tooth there, I immediately found out that it was her. My sweet Kate, she's a fairy now. She was sheltered by friends when I took off sharply from grief without noticing that she had become a spirit. - Tooth was almost crying.- and then faith in me gradually grew stronger, but there were not so many children who believed in me, but more than when I met Kate.
-Where's Kate now?-interrupted Jack.
-She died after Pitch Black locked them in cages. She couldn't stand it and died of fright.-Tooth said in despair.
- So now on. In those days, the Pitch Black ruled, then there were very dark times and it was hard for our miracles to break through in this world. But MIM realized that fear should not rule the world and children need happiness and faith in a miracle. I became a keeper, at that time there was a Sandman and several keepers, whom I did not know well. Later we defeated Pitch. And after that, faith in me and in other keepers began to grow stronger, except for the Sandy, they believed in him so well. Thus, millions of children began to believe in me and my crumbs became more, and later I stopped flying to the children, which I regret very much. But it's good that I realized this in time and now I'm flying with assistants to collect teeth. That is all. Something else Jack? Do you want me to show you new teeth?.-Tooth asked.
- No, don't.-Jack replied.
- Oh show your teeth! -Tooth began to reach out to Jack and climbed into her mouth examining her teeth.
-Aaaaa, Tootthh, enooouggggh.-Jack mumbled.
- Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. They are so snow-white.-Tooth apologized.
- Well, then I'll go?.-Jack asked.
- If you want to stay, I'll be glad of your company and Baby Tooth is glad of you, right?- asked Tooth.
- Pipipi.- Baby Tooth squeaked.
- She said that she wants you to stay with us and that you have snow-white teeth.- Tooth Fairy translated, taking Baby Tooth in her hands.
- I can't stay, I need to fly, Tooth, I'm sorry, but I can't, you have a job and deadlines, and I'm not like that, I need fun, joy, snowballs, my children are waiting for me, don't be offended, I'll come to visit you later.-Jack replied, preparing to fly away, holding his staff next to him.
- Okay, come to us, we are always glad to see you.-Tooth waved her hand.
Jack's POV
Ok, now I know what to do. They will believe in me, it just takes time.
- Wind, drives me to Jamie's house.
Okay, I'm here, and where's Jamie?
It looks like he's on the street, I'll go look for him there.
- I found him! Hi, Jamie! Shall we play snowballs?
- Yes, but my friends and I have to go to school soon, let's not take too long?-Jamie replied.
- So who didn't hide, it's not my fault.- threw a snowball in the face, hit Cupcake, probably did it in vain.
-Oh, Jack, you'd better not do that... -someone said in a frightened voice.
- Come on, she's laughing.-I said.
I had a real snow battle, and then my friends went to school and I had to stay alone. I don't like being alone, it's good that sometimes memories of my sister save me. But sometimes they hurt me a lot, I miss my family. But there are no more of them and we need to move on. By the way, I have a new family and I am now a Guardian, children believe in me. It's okay, I'm not alone!
