A man with a white beard was soon humming to himself as he used a chainsaw against some ice blocks, laughing a bit as he was having some fun. "Still waiting for cookies!" he then told the tiny people who were elves that worked for him.
One elf seemed to have his mouth full while another carried a plate of cookies.
The man soon continued as he was doing what he was doing before beaming. "Finally!" he then grinned as he had made a trainset out of ice and even made the train fly in the air like a plane as it flew around the room before getting smashed suddenly by the open door as a furry monster known as a yeti was at the door, shouting and panicking.
Both of them screamed until the man looked grumpy and firm at the interruption.
"How many times have I told you to knock?" The man glared.
The yeti soon growled at him again.
"Visitors? Here? ...This better me good..." The man replied as he left the room to go and see his company.
"Cherry... Tell me... What do you see?" Mary Ruth asked as she covered her granddaughter's eyes before removing them while the rest of the group had blindfolds right now.
"I see..." Cherry said as she went to take a look. "...Tiny people and toys... Like Santa's Workshop." she then told her grandmother.
"They even have pointy ears like elves." Patch said as he took a look too.
Mary Ruth smirked.
"Toys... Tiny people with pointy ears..." Atticus realized. "...Mary Ruth, are we-"
"Mary, you old witch!" The bearded man chuckled as he walked over.
"Nicky, you fat softy, get over here!" Mary Ruth smirked before she grabbed him in a headlock. "It's been too long."
"We're in Santa's Workshop." Patch beamed.
"Amazing." Mo smiled.
"Scuzzlebutt, this is one of my old friends," Mary Ruth introduced. "Nicholas St. North... Or as you might know him best as... Santa Claus himself."
"Call me 'North'." The bearded man then said.
"Though he seems bigger and stronger than I remember from childhood." Cherry smirked.
"Yes, this is a bit of a different Santa, my dear. My granddaughter and her friends," Mary Ruth told North then. "Atticus, Cherry, Mo, and Patch."
"It's nice to meet you, North." Atticus smiled.
"Likewise," North nodded. "I made a special treat, but unfortunately, it was destroyed."
The yeti looked bashful before running off.
"You all look hungry," North smirked. "How about some of my all-time favorites? Cookies!"
The elves looked bashful and nervous at the mention of cookies since they had snacked some of them.
"Elves." Mary Ruth rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"This place is amazing." Patch smiled.
"Thank you, I try my best to keep it in tiptop shape." North smirked.
"So, Grandma, how do you know 'North'?" Cherry asked.
"Well, it's a funny story," North chuckled as the yeti soon came back, grunting and roaring. "You see-" he then turned to see the yeti. "Now you're interrupting while I have company?!"
The yeti continued to growl in his language to him, but North understood him.
"What? The globe?" North asked as he grabbed a sword before looking at Mary Ruth and the adventure group. "I need to go. You should probably go back to wherever you came from."
"North, whatever it is I'm sure my granddaughter and her friends can handle it." Mary Ruth said.
"It's a bit of a personal matter." North reminded.
"So let them come along." Mary Ruth retorted.
North looked over before sighing. "All right," he then said. "If you're sure about them being involved, then they can come along."
"Great," Mary Ruth replied. "They could use a brand new adventure right about now."
"Yeah, especially with how we had to help Crystal rescue her parents from Jackie and Norhtwind Forst." Patch said.
"I'll tell you more about it later," Mary Ruth said as she held her hand in the air and out of magic, a bow and arrow appeared. "Let's see what the problem is."
"All right," North nodded at her. "It seems to be a problem with the globe."
"The globe?" Cherry and her friends asked.
They soon came into the next room to check the globe as something was distressing the world that concerned North as well as a few others.
"What is this?" North asked before looking at the yeti in the room. "Have you checked the axis? Is rotation balanced?"
The yeti growled and answered affirmatively. A certain blackened and gloomy figure was shown before chuckling and disappearing.
"Can it be..?" North gasped before calling out. "Dingle! Make preparations. We're going to have company." he then told one of his elves.
"He's truly back." Mary Ruth said.
North soon activated what seemed to be a signal as an aurora borealis.
"So then I'm guessing that was Pitch Black, right?" Cherry asked her grandmother.
"Yes, dear," Mary Ruth nodded. "He's a great threat to my friends and myself."
"What are your friends anyway?" Mo asked.
"The Guardians of Childhood," Mary Ruth informed. "As you can see, Nicky here is the great fable of Santa Claus... AKA Jolly Old St. Nick, AKA Father Christmas, AKA Papa Noel... You get the idea."
"So are you going to get your other friends and whatever they do?" Cherry asked.
"Yes, like The Easter Bunny and The Tooth Fairy." Mary Ruth replied.
"...Grandma, if I had just met you, I'd think you'd need some serious medication," Cherry remarked. "...But I trust you."
"Oh and we can't forget about Sandman." Mary Ruth smiled.
"Ooh." Mo smiled back.
"Are you a Guardian of Childhood too?" Cherry asked.
"Well, I was once offered to being a well-known and beloved author for children everywhere like Mother Goose." Mary Ruth began.
The others were amazed, but curious as they could tell there was going to be a "but" in that statement.
"But... I was given some news about becoming a grandmother to a special little princess." Mary Ruth soon concluded as she smiled warmly at Cherry.
"So you turned down being a Guardian of Childhood?" Cherry guessed.
"I thought it would be best," Mary Ruth replied. "It was an amazing offer, but I was hoping to form a special bond with you... Even if I found babies to be boring since they just sit around and do nothing all day." she then gave an amused giggle with a smirk.
"Grandma, I had no idea..." Cherry said. "And you knew so many stories?"
"I did," Mary Ruth nodded. "I used to travel into the Fairy Tale Realm with your grandfather all the time and shared some stories with the people there, like Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother. Since I knew their stories and sometimes wrote about them, I was offered the chance to be The Guardian of Storytime."
"Wow." Cherry said.
"That's an amazing title." Mo smiled.
"I thought so too," Mary Ruth smiled back. "But I decided that family was just a bit more important."
"How noble of you." Patch commented.
"Thank you." Mary Ruth nodded, proud of herself.
"Are they all coming?" Cherry asked once North came back.
"They should be here very soon," North nodded. "They'll know what to do once they see the aurora borealis."
"Alright then." Mo said.
And where each guardian soon did see the aurora borealis as they soon went to the North Pole.
The adventure group was soon brought into the meeting room to join the Guardians to see what was going on.
Mary Ruth began to knit in her seat while North made his declaration to the others after they had come over as Cherry and her friends couldn't believe they were seeing the legends they all grew up with in one room together.
"My fellow Guardians, it is our job to watch over the children of the world, and keep them safe, to bring wonder, hope, and dreams... And so, I've called us all here for one reason, and one reason only: the children are in danger," North began to tell the others. "An enemy we have kept at bay for centuries has finally decided to strike back! We alone who can stop him," he then went to offer them some refreshments. "Cookies? Eggnog? Anyone?"
"This better be good, North." The bunny grumbled.
"He wouldn't have called you here if it wasn't important." Mary Ruth told the bunny.
"Hey, Mary." The bunny replied.
"Hi, Bunny." Mary Ruth greeted back.
Cherry snickered at the name a bit.
The bunny soon looked over and glared. "You brought kids here?!" he then complained. "What're you laughing at?!"
"She's my granddaughter." Mary Ruth replied firmly.
The bunny soon settled down and grinned nervously. "Riiiight... Your granddaughter... How nice for you..." he then said. "Just make sure she calls me at least 'E. Aster Bunnymund' if she knows what's good for her."
"She'll call you Bunny like everyone else." Mary Ruth retorted.
"I always thought the Easter Bunny was Peter Cottontail." Mo commented.
"He seems bigger than I had imagined." Patch said
"I get that a lot." Bunny said, crossing his arms as he sat back a bit.
"Sandy! Thank you for coming." North beamed as the Sandman soon came on in.
Sandy soon began to gesture at him.
"I know, I know, but I obviously wouldn't have called you all here unless it was serious!" North replied. "The Boogeyman was here! At the Pole!"
"Huh? Pitch? Pitch Black? Here?" Tooth gasped.
"Yes... There was black sand covering the globe." North explained.
"That's not all, but my granddaughter and her friends have had their dreams tampered because of him." Mary Ruth spoke up.
"It's true." Atticus said.
"He turned our dreams into a nightmare," Mo said. "We could see nothing but darkness."
"He'll do that..." Mary Ruth remarked as she continued to knit, though a bit firmer and quicker as she felt anger.
"W-W-What, whadya mean black sand?" Bunny soon asked.
"And then, a shadow!" North then continued.
"Whoa. Whoa. Hold on, I thought you said you saw Pitch." Bunny replied.
"Not exactly." North smiled sheepishly.
"Not exactly?!" Bunny rolled his eyes. "Can you believe this guy?"
Sandy responded in his own way then.
"Yeah, you said it, Sandy." Bunny nodded in agreement with the Sandman.
"Besides, my granddaughter and her friends are under the same threat and she ought to know," Mary Ruth told him. "She's a Dream Walker like Princess Luna of Equestria."
"Yep." Cherry nodded.
"Look, he's up to something very bad," North defended. "I feel it... In my belly!"
"Hang on, hang on... Y-You mean to say, you summoned me here three days before Easter because of your belly?!" Bunny scoffed. "Mate, if I did this to you three days before Christmas-"
"Please, Bunny, Easter is not Christmas!" North retorted.
"Here we go..." Bunny rolled his eyes. "North, I-I don't have time for this! I still have 2 billion eggs to finish up!"
Sandy soon saw the full moon and began to try and get North and Bunny's attention, but they didn't seem to pay attention to his signs.
"Does he not talk?" Cherry asked her grandmother.
"Not so much." Mary Ruth replied as she concentrated on her knitting.
"No matter how much you paint, is still egg." North retorted to Bunny.
"Look, mate! I'm dealing with perishables!" Bunny defended. "Right, you've got all year to prepare!"
"He's got a good point," Mary Ruth while knitting. "Also Sandy's trying to tell you guys something."
"Ontario, Sector 9, five canines, two molars, and 14 incisors-" Tooth began to list as Cherry and her friends began to get annoyed with the bickering between North and Bunny.
"Why are rabbits always so nervous?" North glared.
"Is that all in one house?" Tooth soon wondered to herself.
"And why are you always such a blowhard?" Bunny retorted.
"Tooth! Can't you see we're trying to argue?" North firmly asked the Tooth Fairy.
"Men... They never listen..." Mary Ruth rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"If only there were a way for us to get their attention." Mo said.
"Like maybe a loud whistle or a bell." Patch said.
"Good luck with that," Mary Ruth rolled her eyes. "Once North and Bunny start, they can't stop."
"Sorry! Not all of us get to work one night a year, am I right, Sandy?" Tooth pouted at North. "Huh! Sandiego, sector 2-"
"Come on, mate, Pitch went out with the Dark Ages, huh?" Bunny told North. "We made sure of it."
"I know it was him," North retorted as an elf walked by. "We have a serious situation."
"Well, I have a serious situation with some eggs!" Bunny glared.
Cherry soon grabbed the elf and held it out to Sandy and the Sandman soon took the elf and began to shake his bell furiously and pointed elsewhere to get North, Bunny, and Tooth's attention instantly.
"Ah! Man in Moon!" North gasped. "Sandy, why didn't you say something?"
Sandy let out a frustrated sigh at that.
"He was trying, but you two were too busy arguing to pay attention." Mary Ruth told North and Bunny.
Cherry giggled a bit.
"Never get married or have children." Mary Ruth told Cherry, though in a playful way.
"I'll try, Grandma." Cherry shrugged.
"It's been a long time, old friend!" North chuckled at the Man in the Moon. "What is big news?"
The Man in the Moon soon shined a light on his Guardian emblem, with the shadow becoming a hauntingly familiar figure.
"It is Pitch..." Bunny muttered in realization.
"See? Told ya." Mary Ruth said.
"Manny, what must we do?" North soon asked the Man in the Moon.
The Man in the Moon responded by showing the Guardian plate and opening it up to reveal a crystal embedded in rock rising from the floor.
"Uh, guys, you know what this means?" Tooth asked the others.
"He's choosing a new Guardian..." North realized.
"What?! Why?" Bunny gaasped.
"Must be big deal," North guessed. "Manny thinks we need help."
"I'd do it if I could, but I'm a grandmother now," Mary Ruth replied as she continued to knit. "I missed my granddaughter's primary years of life and I promised myself after The Dark Lord was defeated that I'd try to spend more time with her and her mother."
"Well. We're about to find out." Atticus said.
"Ooh, so exciting." Mo smiled.
"I wonder who it's gonna be?" Tooth beamed in excitement. "Maybe the Leprechaun?"
Sandy soon held out a four-leafed clover over his head.
"Please not the Groundhog, please not the Groundhog..." Bunny begged quietly.
"What's wrong with the Groundhog?" Patch asked.
"Trust me, kid, you don't wanna know." Bunny told him.
Manny soon shaped the light above the crystal and showed a certain humanoid figure.
"Jack Frost?!" North and Mary Ruth blinked.
"Uh, I take it back," Bunny then said. "The Groundhog's fine."
Tooth and her fairies were seen swooning before she controlled herself. "I mean as long as it's for the kids, right?" she then smiled innocently.
Cherry rolled her eyes a bit.
"Jack Frost?! H-He doesn't care about children!" Bunny complained.
"You really think so?" Patch asked.
"Yes! All he does is freeze water pipes and mess with my egg hunts!" Bunny explained. "Alright? He's an irresponsible, selfish-"
"And his twins are no better." Cherry mumbled to herself.
"Guardian." North smiled.
"Yeah. Jack actually does care about children. He brings snow days and makes plenty of snowballs for them to throw and they have fun." Mary Ruth smiled.
"Snow Days are fun," Patch smiled. "Especially in the middle of the school week when you've been studying for a really long time."
"And you go to school, Dog?" North asked the Dalmatian.
"Sometimes, yeah," Patch nodded. "Especially in Magic Training as Atticus's familiar."
"Huh... A dog going to school," North chuckled. "And I thought I heard it all~"
"So do you think he'll agree to be a Guardian?" Mo asked.
"We can only hope," Mary Ruth replied as she continued to knit. "He's our last chance and I'm far too busy to take on the responsibility."
"I wonder what he's doing this very moment?" Mo began to wonder.
"I just hope not finding a way into Arendelle and then hooking up with Elsa or something like that." Cherry shrugged.
"Well, all we can do is search where snow days are happening." Mo suggested.
"Isn't it summer?" Cherry deadpanned.
"I'll have to check my personal globe if you kids want," Mary Ruth offered. "I can see weather from all around the world with it."
"How'd you manage that?" Patch wondered.
"It was a wedding gift from Mother Nature," Mary Ruth smiled. "I'm sure we'll be able to find Jack Frost with the gift," she then glanced over at North. "And speaking of globes... I hope you don't give other some random kid a Christmas globe that can grant any three wishes that they want. I've heard about an eternal Christmas on a little place called Sesame Street because of that gift."
"Who would want eternal Christmas?" Patch asked.
"Oh, come now, several children have wished for it to be Christmas every day," Mary Ruth reminded. "Timmy Turner wanted that on his first Christmas with Cosmo and Wanda and a young boy by the name of Elmo in Sesame Street who was given the magical snowglobe, though we must all learn that Christmas every day has consequences, no matter how lovely it sounds when you're a child."
"Right." The adventure group nodded.
Eventually, Mary Ruth came into her old room and brought out a bag. "Here, Muscles, hold this." she then told Atticus, shoving the bag in his hands.
Atticus nearly stumbled, but he held onto the bag.
Mary Ruth then opened up the bag and began to take out various things that seemed like they would belong to Mary Poppins. "No... No... No..." she said, tossing out an old umbrella, a giant candy cane, and even a full-body mirror before she found her globe. "Ah, here we go," she then said. "This should help us find out where Jack Frost is and then we can tell him about the other Guardians of Childhood."
"Wow." Mo said.
"So how does it work?" Cherry asked.
"It's complicated to explain, but this'll track him down," Mary Ruth replied as she used her globe to find Jack for her, the adventure group, and the rest of the Guardians of Childhood. "I usually need a blood sample of the missing person, but I'm sure I can find him with my own special magic." she then added.
Meanwhile, in another part of the world, people were going about their business, having a normal and regular day before they saw some frost appearing from nowhere and even freezing water fountains before anyone could get a drink. And where soon something cold soon began to start flying across the place even causing a gust of wind to send some papers flying and some birds to scatter.
"Oh! Now that, that was fun," Jack chuckled to himself before he called out. "Hey, wind!"
The wind soon blew all around him, signaled by him.
"Take me home!" Jack then told the wind.
The wind then picked up Jack and took him away as he soon went to enjoy the winter festivities that he was able to create.
"Snow Day!" Jack then laughed in excitement as he ended up on a frozen lake and began to skate around it.
The town he was in right now looked partly snowed in and where a book was blown out of a kid's hands.
"Huh, that looks interesting," Jack commented as he soon picked up the book. "Good book?
"All right! Yeah! Whoo-hoo!" One boy cheered.
"Snow Day!" Added another kid.
"You're welcome!" Jack chuckled before he mysteriously disappeared.
"Hey, guys! Wait up! Are you coming to the Easter egg hunt on Sunday?" The third boy with the book asked.
"Yeah! Free candy!" The first boy beamed.
"I hope we can find the eggs with all this snow!" The second boy added.
"It says here that they found Bigfoot's hair samples and DNA!" The third boy informed as he checked his book. "In Michigan! That's like super-close!"
"Here we go again." The second boy said.
"You saw that video too, Claude!" The third boy defended. "He's out there!"
"That's what you said about aliens." The second boy rolled his eyes.
"And the Easter Bunny." The first boy, named Claude, added.
"The Easter Bunny is real." The third boy said.
"Oh, he's real alright. Real grouchy, real annoying, and really full of himself." Jack said as he walked on top of the fence.
"Come on, you'll believe anything." Claude said to the third boy.
The boy with the book pouted as he felt alone in his beliefs before he got his sled.
"Easter Bunny! Hop, hop, hop!" A younger blonde girl smiled as she hopped down the stairs of the house she was coming out of before she tripped and yelled out in pain. "Aaaah!"
"Mom! Sophie fell again." The boy soon called out, about to leave with his sled.
"You okay, Soph?" The mother frowned in concern as she checked on the girl as a dog ran around with a ball in its mouth before calling out to the boy. "Jamie? Hat?"
"Hat?" The boy asked, sounding frustrated.
"You don't want Jack Frost nipping at your nose!" The woman advised as she put a warm hat on his head.
"Who's Jack Frost?" The boy asked his mother.
"No one, honey, it's just an expression." The mother replied.
"Hey!" Jack glared as he found that offensive from where he hid.
The boys were soon seen all running to the same spot.
"Who's Jack Frost?" Jack repeated with a scoff as he soon scooped up a snowball and blew some magic onto it before he chucked the snowball out to the boy who was named Jamie.
Jamie yelped as he got hit in the back of the head as his friends laughed before some magic sparkled into his eyes as he began to look happy and excited. "Okay! Who threw that?" he then asked, a bit playful.
"Well, it wasn't Bigfoot, kiddo." Jack smirked as he walked by as the kids enjoyed their Snow Day.
During the fun, a certain duo of kids appeared through magic.
"All right, Wendy, you wanted to experience a Snow Day? Well, here you go." Casper smiled as he held the blonde girl's hand as they appeared in the neighborhood through magic.
"So, basically, there's snow around even though it's supposed to be a school day?" Wendy asked.
"Yep," Casper nodded. "That's what makes Snow Days magical!"
They soon saw Jamie throw some snow balls.
"What's going on?" Wendy asked.
"Looks like a snowball fight," Casper said. "You wanna give it a try?"
"I suppose I could," Wendy said before she held out her hands. "I'll make us some snowballs right now!"
"Ah! Without magic!" Casper warned, stopping her as he took her hands before magic could come out.
"Oh... Well, that seems like extra work, but okay." Wendy shrugged before she began to make some snowballs by hand.
Soon enough, a full-on snowball fight went on as Jack soon made snowballs appear.
"Jamie Bennett! No fair!" A girl called out as she got hit by a snowball.
"You struck first!" Jamie called back.
The kids then began to throw snowballs at each other as Casper and Wendy soon joined in.
"Free for all!" Jack smirked as he skated around them and made more and more snowballs appear with his magic.
"Alright, who needs ammo?"
"Is it just me or did those snowballs just appear out of nowhere?" Wendy asked.
"Not from nowhere, Wendy, from Jack Frost." Casper clarified.
"Ohh," Wendy smiled. "Who is that again?"
"He's the reason why we are having a snow day." Casper smiled.
"Uh, Casper? By any chance does he have white hair and no shoes with pants and kind of a blue hoodie?" Wendy asked as she saw Jack.
"I actually don't know, Wendy," Casper replied. "I mean, in the books that I used to read in my uncles' library, he usually has blue skin and white hair... But why do you ask?" he then asked her.
Wendy soon pointed to the distance as Jack was sending snowballs to all of the other kids who happily had some fun.
"Oh..." Casper said with wide eyes. "I guess that would be him."
"Are we the only ones that can see him?" Wendy asked.
"Well, since they're not thanking him for the snowballs I would guess so." Casper said.
"I wonder why?" Wendy wondered.
"Magic?" Casper suggested. "That's the best guess I've got anyway."
The kids laughed as they continued to have fun before Casper and Wendy then decided to join in on the fun. Casper laughed as he threw the next snowball as Wendy suddenly ducked down and the snowball soon went flying and hit the back of the head of a bigger girl who sounded angry once the snowball had hit her.
"Run! That kid hit Cupcake!" A girl warned the other kids.
"Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?" Casper asked.
"Maybe because of how big she is?" Wendy guessed.
The girl named Cupcake soon turned around and she looked very unhappy with what had just happened.
Another snowball was then thrown, but the kids didn't see who threw it.
"Did you throw that?" One boy asked the other.
"No." Claude replied.
"It wasn't me!" The girl added nervously.
Casper and Wendy soon looked to see it was Jack and where they wondered why he would throw a snowball at Cupcake until they started to hear her laugh.
"She's... Laughing?" Wendy blinked. "Well, at least she's not gonna hurt anyone right now. She looked like my aunties whenever I tried to befriend our old paperboy."
Cupcake soon laughed and began to play with the other kids. She began to chase them with a snowman's head as they ran down the road together as Casper and Wendy joined in.
"This is gonna be a buuumpy riiide!" Doc Croc called out as he rode along in Casper's coat pocket with Yoyo.
"Just dont't get pocket sick!" Yoyo told him.
"Little slippery!" Jack smirked before he created an ice run for Jamie to slide on in his sled.
"Jack, wait!" Wendy called out.
"Is someone talking to me?" Jack wondered to himself as it was already too late.
"JAMIE!" The other kids cried out for their friend.
"Whoa!" Jamie yelped once he saw where he had ended up on his sled.
"That's the street!" One of the girls noticed.
"Oh, I hope Jack knows what he's doing." Wendy said.
"I'm sure he does." Casper said.
"Were you guys talking to me?" Jack asked as he came to see Casper and Wendy.
"Uh, yeah." Casper replied as he took them over to a hidden spot so other kids wouldn't think they were crazy.
"I didn't think kids could talk to me back," Jack said with a small smirk. "You two must be pretty special."
"You could say that." Casper smiled.
"I'm a witch or rather a witchling." Wendy said.
"I guess that's how you can see me, through magic," Jack guessed. "I just didn't think any kid could ever see me."
"I guess that explains how no one seemed to notice you during the snowball fight," Wendy remarked. "Even though you sent that kid on his sled INTO THE STREETS!" she then suddenly panicked.
"Heh... Maybe not my best move," Jack chuckled sheepishly. "I guess I better go and help him."
"Yes, please, do it!" Casper and Wendy urged, panicking for the kid even if they didn't know him that well.
"Well, all right, if you guys insist." Jack smirked as he soon took off in the middle of the road and skated along with ice that appeared underneath his bare feet as he went to help the boy out.
"Oh, I can't watch." Doc Croc shivered as he covered his eyes.
Jamie screamed as he sled down an ice ramp that appeared in the middle of the street and he soon slid high above the road. All of the other kids watched in shock and amazement as Jamie was flying through the air on his sled. Eventually, Jamie crashed down in the middle of the snow as Casper, Wendy, Doc Croc, and Yoyo winced as that had to have hurt.
"Oh, my gosh..." The girl in the crowd winced.
"Yeah!" Jack cheered as he watched that from the town statue.
The other kids soon walked over to see if Jamie was alright.
"That was awesome!" Jamie beamed as he got up.
"Oh, thank goodness he's okay." Wendy sighed in relief.
Casper nodded as he wiped his forehead, also feeling relieved.
Jack smirked proudly as he saw Jamie up and okay without looking badly beat up.
"Did you guys see that? It was amazing! I slid, I did a jump! A-And I slid under-" Jamie beamed before a random couch slid by and suddenly hit him in the face.
"Whoops." Jack said with a slight wince.
"That had to hurt." Yoyo winced.
The kids groaned and winced as they came over to Jamie.
"I would've stopped that couch if I knew it was coming." Casper winced.
"It's okay, Casper." Wendy soothed.
Jamie soon got back out and put his hand in his mouth before his tooth came out and he looked excited. "Cool! A tooth!" he then beamed.
"Wow! The Tooth Fairy is sure going to give him some money for that tooth." Yoyo smiled.
"You believe in the Tooth Fairy?" Casper asked.
"Of course," Yoyo smiled. "Don't you?"
"I just thought maybe only little kids believed in her." Casper shrugged.
"We've met all sorts of different mythical creatures, not to mention who Atticus and Cherry have met in adventures," Wendy reminded. "Why not the Tooth Fairy?"
"...I guess that's a good point." Casper had to admit.
Unfortunately, Jack had thought the other kids thought what happened was because of the Tooth Fairy. "Oh, wait a minute, come on! Hold on, hold on!" he called out to the kids. "What about all the fun we just had? That wasn't the Tooth Fairy, that was me!"
The kids simply ran past and through him as they looked excited for Jamie.
"What's a guy gotta do to get a little attention around here?" Jack complained before he soon flew off. "See ya around, weird magic kids!" he then called out to Casper and Wendy on the way out.
"Don't kids know how the Tooth Fairy's magic works?" Yoyo asked Doc Croc.
"Every kid has their own idea," Doc Croc replied. "Do you always know what the Tooth Fairy does with your tooth after you lose it?"
"...I guess that's a good point." Yoyo remarked.
"I just know that a loose tooth is an easy way to make money when you're a kid." Casper smirked.
"I know, right?" Wendy smiled.
Other pedestrians came about, talking about the weather as Jack took off.
"Well, I love having a Snow Day so far," Wendy smiled as she lay down in the snow and began to make a snow angel. "I hope one comes in Greendale soon since I go to school now."
"Same here." Casper smiled back as he made a snowman.
Doc Croc and Yoyo smiled warmly and fondly at the two kids.
"Making a snow angel?" Casper asked her.
"Snow Witch," Wendy corrected. "You'll probably see in a minute."
"Cool." Casper smiled.
Wendy giggled as she kept on playing in the snow.
"I just hope that Atticus and Cherry aren't too worried about you." Doc Croc advised the former ghost boy.
"Oh, I'm sure they'll fine," Casper replied calmly. "Uh, if they ask, I took Wendy to meet The Snow Queen who isn't Elsa."
"You didn't tell them where you were going?" Doc Croc asked.
"Um, well, no." Casper admitted.
"Why not?" Yoyo asked.
"Cuz I might've called in sick to school today because Wendy wished it would snow after I told her about Snow Days and she's never heard of them before." Casper smiled sheepishly.
Doc Croc and Yoyo gave him a funny look.
"And I don't know how to summon snow back home, so I looked through a magic snowglobe to see where it was snowing right now and I teleported us here." Casper then added.
"Casper, where did you find a magic snowglobe?" Doc Croc asked.
"Um, in the attic." Casper smiled sheepishly.
"Well, it makes sense," Yoyo said to Doc Croc. "I mean, his new family is Wiccans... Well, most of them," he then said. "I think Emily said that she was the aunt of the legendary Little Mermaid who fell in love with a human prince and traded her life in the sea for life on land."
"Well, we better hope that they won't start getting worried." Doc Croc said.
"Relax, I've got it covered." Casper reassured.
Doc Croc and Yoyo shared looks with each other almost like they doubted that statement.
Wendy giggled as she then got out of the snow and made a snow angel, but she drew in a witch's hat with a broomstick to make it look like a Snow Witch and took out her phone to take a picture of it. Her phone soon started to start ringing. "Oh, someone's calling me." she then said.
"Pretend you're at school!" Casper panicked.
Doc Croc and Yoyo then face-palmed as Casper didn't think through his implications.
"Uh, why?" Wendy asked before answering her phone.
"Uh..." Casper said, at a loss for words.
"Wendy, where are you?" Michelle's voice asked on Wendy's phone.
"I'm with Casper and as for where we are I'm not really sure." Wendy said.
"You don't know where you are?!" Michelle's voice asked worriedly.
"I was on my way to school and then Casper came up to me and we were talking for a minute," Wendy replied. "He was telling me about Snow Days and I never got to experience one before. He made it sound so magical and amazing."
"Oh, dear. Your teachers must be so worried." Michelle's voice said.
"Wendy, give the phone to Casper." Emily's voice said.
"Mrs. Fudo?" Wendy replied. "You're there too."
"Yes, Principal Bleachstain called me and said that Casper wasn't in school." Emily's voice replied.
"Auntie Michelle and your new mom wanna talk to you." Wendy soon told Casper, holding out the phone to him.
"Um, okay," Casper smiled nervously before accepting the phone. "Hello?"
"Casper..." Emily began firmly.
"Wendy..." Michelle added.
"Where are you and what's going on?!" The two mothers demanded sharply.
"Okay, I'm sure if you both calm down, I can explain this in a way that you will both understand and not ground us for a thousand years." Casper said, trying to be calm through their anger, though it was hard not to feel scared whenever your mother was mad at you.
"You had better have a good explanation, young man." Emily said firmly.
"This outta be good." Yoyo whispered to Doc Croc.
"Oh, indeed." Doc Croc whispered back.
"Guys, please." Casper complained to Yoyo and Doc Croc.
"What're you talking about?" Yoyo and Doc Croc asked.
"Shh, let me think!" Casper told them.
"Casper?!" Emily called sharply.
"Oh... Okay, I'm sorry," Casper sighed on the phone. "I just wanted Wendy to see what a Snow Day looked like and I don't know how to make it snow back in Greendale, so I looked through the crystal ball in the attic and saw a Snow Day going on over here, so we used a spell and came over here so that she could see how much fun a Snow Day can be." he then explained to his adoptive mother.
"Well, I'm happy about how you wanted to show Wendy a snow day, but you two still have school." Emily said.
The phone soon began to ring, telling Emily she had another call on the line.
"What is it?" Michelle asked.
"It sounds like another call." Emily replied.
"Don't tell me; it's gonna suddenly start snowing over here and that Casper, Wendy, and the other kids don't have school today because it's suddenly a Snow Day here too because of sheer convenience?" Michelle deadpanned, sounding a lot like her daughter right now.
"I'll find out in a moment," Emily replied before talking to her adopted son on the phone before she soon switched to her second call. "I'll call you back. Hello?" she then asked.
"Hello, is this Mrs. Fudo?" Casper's school principal's voice asked.
"Yes, hello, Ms. Bleachstain," Emily replied innocently. "It's so nice to hear from you. We should really do something fun together and maybe become friends since you look after Casper for us in school like you did for Atticus when he was in middle school."
"Mrs. Fudo, if you find Casper please inform him and Wendy that they won't have to go to school for a while." Ms. Bleachstain replied.
"What do you mean?" Emily asked out of fear.
"Well, you see there won't be school because all of a sudden we seem to be having a snow day." Ms. Bleachstain said.
"Wait, what?" Emily asked.
"Yes, it just came out of nowhere." Ms. Bleachstain replied.
"Yeah, I bet," Michelle deadpanned. "I wonder how and why that happened?"
"You sound so much like your daughter right now." Emily said to Michelle.
"Where do you think she got this behavior from?" Michelle smirked smugly.
Ms. Bleachstain soon hung up.
"Casper, where are you guys right now?" Emily asked.
"The globe said a place called Burgess, Pennsylvania," Casper replied. "We'll probably be back later."
"Oh, Burgess," Michelle smiled fondly. "I haven't been there since..." she then suddenly looked emotional. "...Cherry was born."
"Would you like to go to Brugess sometime?" Emily asked.
"Yeah, but who's got the time for that?" Michelle asked.
"I'm sure we can go there with some help from magic." Emily said.
"Yes, I suppose, but maybe another time," Michelle crossed her arms with a smirk. "I have a lot of work to do."
"Maybe after?" Emily suggested.
"Hm... Perhaps," Michelle nodded softly. "I always hoped Cherry could grow up there until we found out about the prophecy."
"Understandable," Emily said before she soon put Casper back on the phone. "Well, I better inform the kids."
"Who was on the other line, Mom?" Casper asked.
"That was your school principal," Emily replied. "Apparently Greendale is having a Snow Day in their schools too."
"What a lucky break." Casper commented.
"I know! It's almost as if the universe is lazy and does things in your favor by lucky chance or something!" Michelle called out.
"Gosh... I think I know why Cherry's so sarcastic all the time." Casper commented as he overheard the other woman's voice.
"Anyway, you two got a lucky break this time, but next time inform us about where you're going." Emily told Casper.
"I will, Mom. I promise." Casper smiled.
"Please do," Emily nodded. "Honestly is important in a family."
"Sure, Mom." Casper reassured.
Wendy smiled as she soon began to draw a branch in the snow, making a heart shape as she waited for Casper.
"Now please be home soon." Emily said.
"We will, Mom, but can me and Wendy please stay have some fun in the snow?" Casper asked.
"Well, okay, but please come home before it gets dark." Emily said.
"Well, okay, but what about Jack Frost?" Casper asked.
Emily looked over to Michelle who just shrugged. "Be careful," she then suggested. "We might not have a plan for him yet."
"So you can see him too?" Casper asked.
"I haven't seen him in a very long time," Emily replied. "Not until sometime after we moved when Jessica got a bit older."
"So you didn't see him in Beach City because it doesn't snow?" Casper guessed.
"Oh, it can snow in Beach City," Emily clarified. "But we didn't see Jack Frost up close until after we moved into Greendale, just have fun and remember what I said."
"I will, Mom." Casper said.
"See you soon." Emily replied.
"See you soon, Mom." Casper said before hanging up.
Wendy smiled as she kept drawing in the snow.
"Looks like we're good to go for a while." Casper said as he came up beside her.
"I just hope Audrey, Dot, and Lotta don't get too disappointed without me with the Snow Day back in Greendale." Wendy replied bashfully.
"I'm sure they'll understand." Casper smiled.
"Yeah." Yoyo added.
"Oh, indeed. They are your friends, they will understand." Doc Croc nodded.
Suddenly, a snowball was thrown on top of them.
"Oof!" Doc Croc and Yoyo yelped.
"Oops." Wendy giggled innocently.
"Oh, you're in for it now." Casper said playfully.
The four of them began to have a snowball fight as they laughed while having fun. This went on for a while until the sun was shown going down as it began to start getting dark.
