"Jack?" The little girl's voice called out.
Jack was surprised by the voice before reaching into his pocket and bringing out the box filled with his memories.
"That must be it," Cherry said to herself. "All he has to do is touch where the teeth are put into and then his memories will return and we can find out what happened."
"Jack!" The little girl's voice soon continued.
"Come on, Jack, you can do it," Cherry urged from what she was seeing. "Save both of us."
Jack suddenly stumbled backwards in shock as his pocket started glowing with a golden light. He then pulled the box out of his pocket as Cherry nodded eagerly and hopefully.
"Jack!" The little girl's voice called again.
Jack soon looked at the box and then Baby Tooth who put her hand on the box and nodded. Jack then nodded back at her and soon touched the box and suddenly, something new began to change.
"What's tha-?" Cherry began to ask before her eyes widened and they glowed a rainbow pattern like whenever an Element of Harmony is used and she soon found herself in the void of Jack's memories of five humanoids watched: a joyful yellow one, a sad blue one, a disgusted green one, a fearful purple one, and an angry red one, which brought back other memories from another story.
Suddenly, Cherry was in the woods and was now watching some memories from a very long time ago and looked around as she watched the memory unfold before her very eyes. And then one final memory came up as Jack and what looked to be his little sister ready to go out and play.
"Be careful." A woman's voice told them.
"We will." Jack assured her with a laugh.
"Okay, so far so good," Cherry said. "But it must be getting to what happened to Jack soon."
And where she was right as the little girl looked scared as she and Jack were on ice as it began to look like it was cracking around her little by little.
"Okay, this must be it." Cherry said.
The girl looked over to Jack worriedly as Cherry flinched, feeling scared for the situation, but all she could do was sit and watch.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Jack told his sister, trying to soothe her fears. "Don't look down, just look at me."
"Jack, I'm scared." Jack's sister panicked as the ice cracked underneath her.
"Almost reminds me of the old days when Atticus was afraid of ice." Cherry said to herself.
"I-I know, I know, but you're gonna be alright; you're not gonna fall in," Jack coaxed to the girl. "Uh... We're gonna have a little fun instead!"
"No, we're not!" Jack's sister pouted.
"Would I trick you?"
"Yes! You always play tricks!"
"Well, alright, well, n-n-not this time," Jack replied, trying to keep calm and brave for both of them. "I promise... I promise you're gonna be... You're gonna be fine. You have to believe in me."
Jack's sister was still frozen with fear.
"You wanna play a game? We're gonna play hopscotch!" Jack suggested then as Cherry watched the memory play out, a purple aura filling the ear to represent the emotion of fear. "Like we play every day! I-It's as easy as, uh, one... Whoa!" he then yelped as he almost fell over, but luckily didn't and his sister soon started to laugh. "Two! Three!" he then landed on a part of the ice that wasn't thin. "Alright. Now it's your turn." he then reached for a stick to help him out.
"Just don't fall into the water." Cherry said hopefully.
"One..." Jack began as the ice cracked and he held out his stick over to his sister as this looked very bad. "That's it, that's it. Three!" he then grabbed her by the knees suddenly and slid her across and around the ice until she was in a safe spot, though he was still in the cracking area and he smiled since she was safe.
"JACK!" Jack's sister cried as the ice cracked under his weight.
Jack soon sunk into the cold water, looking up at the moon as Cherry gasped and everything seemed to change for Jack then. Cherry looked wide-eyed before she frowned softly, her heart glowing from her Element of Harmony: Empathy. The moon began to show where Jack had fallen and it began to start shining down on him as his hair turned from brown to white and that's when Jack gasped as he came back from his memories as he remembered his life before.
"So that's how he became Jack Frost and that's why he was chosen to be a Guardian." Cherry said.
Eventually, everything went back to the way it was before as Jack and Cherry saw the same thing, except for maybe Baby Tooth.
"Did you see... Did you see that?" Jack soon asked Baby Tooth who suddenly shook her head before he picked her up, looking happy and excited again. "I-I-It was me! I had a family! I had a sister! I saved her!" he then laughed hysterically before looking at the moon as Cherry glowed briefly. "That's why you chose me... I-I'm a Guardian!"
"You did it, Jack," Cherry said. "You found your true calling and I felt your pain once you endured it again... Wait, that's it... That's it!" she then gasped to herself. "This is it... I have to save myself before I help save the others." she then said like she had discovered a secret.
"We have to get out of here," Jack told Baby Tooth before he soon grabbed his staff and tried to build it back together, nothing happened at first until he focused and a blue light glowed and glowed even brighter from the staff. "Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Come on, Baby Tooth, I owe you one!" he then laughed as he had the ability to fly again.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Cherry called out as she pony-upped a bit and soon followed him before looking at her wings with a small smile forming. "My wings... They're here..." she then said as she lightly stroked them. "Because I believed in myself enough to help Jack."
"Hey, Cherry, I didn't know you could fly," Jack said to the perky goth. "WHOA! You can fly?!"
"Looks like I'm finding myself again." Cherry replied, sounding more confident this time.
"Then come on, let's go and free The Tooth Fairies." Jack said.
Baby Tooth nodded.
The three of them soon went back to Pitch's realm as they opened one of the cages filled with Tooth Fairies.
"Come on, let's go." Jack told the fairies .
Unfortunately, the fairies began to try to fly, but they couldn't see to fly out of the cage.
"But what... What's wrong?" Jack asked the fairies as nothing seemed to change for them. "None of you can fly?"
Baby Tooth soon pointed over to a certain globe.
"Of course... The lights..." Cherry realized. "The kids are losing their belief... And belief is one of the most powerful magic elements there are, even if it might not seem that important."
Meanwhile back at The North Pole...
One of the yetis is seen finishing coloring a final toy red as he put it with the other red toys with a sigh of relief before the room began to shake, causing him to try and keep the toys from falling down and where Pitch Black, Jackie Frost, and King Sombra arrived in the workshop on top of the globe, arriving out of Pitch Black's nightmare sand.
"You're all free to go," Pitch smirked. "We won't be having any Christmas toys this year, thank you."
"Or ever again." Jackie added.
"So all your hard work can be put to rest." Sombra added.
The yeti by the red toys simply groaned as the toys he painted wouldn't get sent out to the kids around the world. Jack and Cherry were watching the globe up close as it looked worse and worse by the minute.
"They're all going out." Jack remarked.
"This can't be good." Cherry added softly.
"Only nine left... Nine precious children who still believe in the Guardians with all their heart-Make that eight!" Pitchchuckled as the numbers decreased as Jackie and Sombra looked victorious. "Four!~"
Eventually, it was down to three final lights that didn't seem to be moving.
"Three..." Sombra glared at the last light. "But how?!"
"Three more lights..." Cherry pondered. "Who could they be?"
Jack hopped up to the globe and soon saw one of the final lights. "Jamie!" he then called before seeing the other two. "And... Casper and Wendy?"
"...Pitch might've gotten under their skin, but they still have strong enough belief to believe in The Guardians..." Cherry realized. "At least, I hope that's what's happening."
"Of course it is," Jack smiled. "Besides, they've met The Guardians up close."
Baby Tooth nodded in agreement.
"Hmm... I guess so," Cherry said. "So then let's go and make sure they keep believing."
"Right." Jack replied.
"It'll take a lot of work, but some's better than none." Cherry replied.
"That's a good point," Jack agreed. "So what do you suggest?"
"Show them some real magic and let it go," Cherry advised before grimacing. "Ugh... I hate that I just said that. You remind me of a boy Snow Queen Elsa sometimes."
"I'd like to meet her sometime." Jack smirked.
"I think she's taken, buddy," Cherry smirked back. "Let's just get to work."
"Right." Jack nodded.
The three of them soon made their way to where Jamie, Casper, and Wendy were.
'This is gonna work, it has to.' Cherry thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Jamie was shown to be all alone in his room with a stuffed bunny. "Okay, look, you and I are obviously at what they call a crossroads," he began to say as Jack and Cherry came to the boy's window. "So, here's what's gonna happen: i-if it wasn't a dream, and if you are real, then you have to prove it. Like, right now."
"Listen closely." Cherry suggested.
Jack nodded and soon tried to do just that.
"I believed in you for a long time, okay?" Jamie continued hopefully. "Like, my whole life in fact. So you kind of owe me now. You don't have to do much; just a little sign so I know. Anything. Anything at all."
Unfortunately, nothing seemed to happen which proved to be a depressing moment.
"I knew it." Jamie pouted as he soon dropped his rabbit.
"Don't despair," Cherry advised Jack. "You can still try to help."
"I can?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, now this is what you need to do..." Cherry said before whispering of what to do.
Jamie continued to look sad before he heard something going on the window and soon saw frost on it before an Easter Egg was being drawn on it. The boy gasped in shock as he realized what he saw and soon looked over and around as more frost appeared. "He's real..." he then whispered and saw a new design that looked like a certain rabbit before it seemed to come to life and hopped all around the room, making him laugh. "Whoa! Hahaha!" he then bounced on his bed joyfully.
Jack soon laughed along with the boy as Jamie touched the rabbit and it burst into snow in his room.
"...Snow?" Jamie then asked before a snowflake landed on his nose as he realized only one person could had done that to him. "Jack Frost..."
"Did he just say-" Jack began to ask.
"Jack Frost?" Jamie repeated as he started to look around his room.
"He said it again!" Jack realized. "He said... You said..."
"Jack Frost!" Jamie continued as he looked right at Jack that time.
Cherry gave a small smile in relief for both Jack and Jamie as this was a rather lovely moment for both of them.
"That's right, but that's me, Jack Frost, that's my name. You said my name." Jack said to Jamie.
Jamie still looked jaw-dropped as he could see Jack this time.
"Wait, c-can you hear me?" Jack asked him.
Jamie nodded.
"C-Can you see me?" Jack asked again.
Jamie nodded again as he smiled.
"Yeah... Yeah... Yeah!" Cherry soon began to cheer for Jack.
"He sees me! He sees me!" Jack soon cheered out of excitement.
"You just made it snow!" Jamie beamed.
"I know!" Jack smiled.
"In my room!" Jamie smiled back.
"I know!" Jack nodded as he soon got off of the bed and was soon back near the window.
"You're real?" Jamie then asked.
"Yeah, man. Who do you think brings you all the blizzards and the snow days?" Jack nodded. "And you remember when you went flying on that sled the other day?"
"That was you?!" Jamie gasped.
"That was me!" Jack nodded.
"Take that, Pitch Black." Cherry smirked as she began to feel confident and more like her old self again.
"Cool!" Jamie beamed.
"I know, right?" Jack smiled.
"Wait, what about The Easter Bunny and The Tooth Fairy? I mean, are they really-" Jamie started.
"Real, real, every one of us is real." Jack assured him as he picked up the stuffed toy bunny.
"I knew it!" Jamie beamed.
"Jamie! Who are you talking to?" Jamie's mother's voice asked.
"Jack Frost?" Jamie replied innocently.
Jamie's mother laughed to humor him, though she had no idea how true that statement actually was. "Okay..."
Jamie and Jack soon shared a laugh together as the window came open and then suddenly, North's sleigh was on a crash course in the neighborhood on the outside.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" North yelped as he tried to control his sleigh before it suddenly came to a halt and the reindeer took off when they had the chance. "Ah, come back!"
"North, are you okay?" Tooth asked.
"Is official. My powers are kaput!" North complained as they got off of the sleigh.
"It'll get better, I'm sure." Mo reassured North.
"I do hope Cherry's feeling better by now." Atticus said to the others as they caught up.
"Guys, we have a big surprise for you," Cherry said before gasping and flinching. "Atticus, what happened to you?!"
"What?" Atticus asked.
"Your head! It's gotten so big!" Cherry cried out before smirking.
"...She's feeling better alright." Atticus said in a snarky tone.
"Yep, that's the Cherry we know and love." Mo giggled.
"Jack! Jack." Tooth smiled as she tried to fly over to Jack, only to fall to the ground before getting up with help from him.
"You okay?" Jack asked her.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Tooth replied.
"Jack, Cherry, what are you two doing here?" North asked.
"Same as you." Jack replied.
Jamie soon ran out of his house in excitement and saw the Guardians up close.
"Jamie, you must be the third and final light." Patch realized.
"Wow! It is you! I mean, it is you!" Jamie beamed before laughing as he looked over at Jack and Cherry. "I knew it wasn't a dream!"
"Jack, he sees you!" North remarked.
Jack smirked before he noticed someone missing. "Wait, but where's Bunny?" he then asked.
"Losing Easter took its toll on all of us," North frowned. "Bunny most of all."
A tiny gray and white rabbit was shown to be hopping around on the sleigh.
"Ooh... That doesn't look good." Cherry said nervously.
"That's the Easter Bunny?" Jamie asked with a laugh.
"Now somebody else sees me!" Bunny spoke. "Aw, where were you 'bout an hour ago, mate?"
"I'm starting to feel queasy." Cherry said, looking a bit disgusted at the cute and fluffy version of Bunny.
"What happened to him? He used to be huge and cool, but now he's cute." Jamie said as he began to start scratching under Bunny's chin.
And where he began to slightly enjoy it as his right foot began to start thump on the wing of the sleigh repeatedly until he got Jamie to stop before glaring at Jack. "Did you tell him to say that? Alright, that's it! You and me now. Come on." Bunny told Jack, looking ready to fight him.
"Oh, Bunny..." Cherry sighed and shook her head.
"No, actually, he told me you were real!" Jamie beamed at the Easter Bunny. "Just when I started to think that maybe you weren't."
"...He made you believe? In me?" Bunny soon asked calmly.
Jamie nodded as Bunny soon looked grateful and looked towards Jack who then smiled back. Then suddenly, thunder and lightning crackled in the sky, startling all of the Guardians, notably Bunny.
"We got company." Patch glared once he saw Pitch appear with the storm.
"Get Jamie out of here!" Jack told the others, looking ready to go after Pitch.
"Be careful, Jack!" North warned.
"I'm not sure if I need to go too because of Jackie and Sombra." Cherry said to her friends.
"Whatever you decide we'll go along with." Mo told her.
"Yeah, even though facing them would show that you're no longer afraid." Patch said.
"This is your time to shine, Cherry." Atticus said.
Cherry slowly shut her eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek. The group soon hugged Cherry and she soon glowed brighter.
Cherry then opened her eyes and found herself in her very own plane. "Well, here I go." she then said as the propeller spun with her on it and she soon took to the skies after Jack without needing to fly the plane herself.
Snoopy poked his head out and waved as he was there.
"Patch, get your beagle friend out of my plane!" Cherry cried out.
"Snoopy!" Patch shook his head.
Snoopy grinned bashfully and soon hopped off as Cherry took off in the plane.
There was a white kitten with purple stripes who was mewing weakly and sounding scared and weak, trapped in a cage as Sombra smirked at the kitten.
"Oh, too bad, Kimba. You can't do anything to help Cherry," Sombra smirked. "That little nuisance will finally be gone."
Kimba continued to mew, trying to sound brave.
"Aw, you want out? Well, too bad you are trapped." Sombra smirked.
Jackie smirked with him as she filed her nails before looking over. "You and Pitch Black got company." she then told him.
"What is it now?" Sombra glowered.
Eventually, Cherry and Jack made it over.
"I've had just about enough of you, King Sombra!" Cherry glared. "Not to mention Pitch Black and Jackie Frost!"
"She's no longer frightened! But how?!" Jackie asked.
"I don't know, but without Kimba she's only half of a challenge." Sombra smirked.
"Jack," Pitch said before rising up with his nightmare sand. "Let's finish this, shall we?"
Jack soon sent out his ice again as Pitch laughed and mocked him.
"That little trick doesn't work on me anymore!" Pitch mocked as he then sent a blast of black sand at Jack, making him fall to the city down below.
Meanwhile, the group went to catch up and get Jack.
"Is Cherry up there too?" Wendy asked.
"Yes, I think she's finding herself again." Atticus nodded.
"This way, this way!" Bunny told the others as he hopped along before suddenly coming to a stop. "Ahhh, dead-end! Other way, other way!"
Suddenly, something was coming into the sky as they went the other way.
"Look! Up in the sky!" Casper called out. "It's not Superman!"
Jack was soon shown as he fell right out of the sky.
"Jack!" Jamie called out as Jack landed and groaned once he landed hard.
"That was good try, Jack," North advised. "A for effort."
"He's stronger. I can't beat him," Jack reassured before looking around. "Where's Cherry?"
Cherry soon summoned her own sword and shield, waving her sword at Sombra in a threatening manner.
"Ah, Cherry. You seem much braver from the last time we saw you." Sombra smirked.
"Yeah, I'm not afraid anymore." Cherry glared.
"Guess you don't need Kimba anymore," Sombra smirked. "Especially sense he's nothing but a kitten. Right, Jackie?"
"Yep, that's right, he's nothing but a helpless little kitten." Jackie smirked as she showed Kimba in a cage, looking scared.
"Sombra, I want-" Cherry began darkly.
"You want? YOU WANT?! What about what I want?!" Sombra glared. "I just wanted to have one special boy become my heir to The Crystal Empire and you had to take that away from me by showing him friendship! I had a chance and then YOU came along and you always have to ruin everything for me!"
"Your reasons are petty and childish!" Cherry glared back. "If you get rid of me, Atticus will never trust or forgive you. You should realize that and move on. You will be defeated, in Equestria, back home in Greendale, wherever you end up. I'll slay you myself if I have to." she then warned as she showed her sword.
"You have truly grown." Sombra glared.
"Mind if I cut in?" Jackie smirked.
"Oh, typical. Two against one villain move." Cherry rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, but it's an oldie but a goodie." Jackie smirked.
"Oh, Sombra knows all about the oldies." Cherry smirked.
Sombra snarled darkly and viciously.
"I'll do more than just nip your nose," Jackie smirked at Cherry. "You're useless all on your own."
"I might not be as tough as Mo, as strong as Atticus, or as brave as Patch, but I can do just fine," Cherry glowered as she kept her sword in the air. "I'll protect their dreams and everybody else's and kick butt just as hard in The Waking Realm. I was chosen for these adventures for a reason to defeat a dark and dangerous force in the universe, more powerful than both of you!"
Kimba began to start looking proud of Cherry before feeling her bravery encourage him to fight with her as he tried to get free.
"What's going on with that mangy feline?" Jackie glared.
"Looks like he's trying to get free," Cherry smirked. "Perhaps my bravery is stronger than it looks when it's properly displayed."
"I should have known." Sombra glared.
"Then let's use another one of those Fear Drops and she'll be afraid again." Jackie smirked.
"I would, but we had only made one!" Sombra told Jackie.
"What?!" Jackie glared.
Kimba kept trying to get free before he soon got free as he glowed and began to grow back to his original age and size as he joined Cherry's side.
"Kimba... How do you feel?" Cherry asked her tiger, lightly petting his face.
"Much better," Kimba replied as he nuzzled against her face. "And you?"
"Better than I have throughout this adventure," Cherry replied. "Unless Sombra wants to play 'Chicken' and run away before I can defeat him and save Atticus from being forced to becoming Prince of the Crystal Empire..." she then added. "So cliché."
"I shall get him one of these days." Sombra glared.
"And I am just getting started." Jackie added before joining Pitch.
Cherry just shook her head and rolled her eyes. Sombra soon began to glow as Cherry lunged out to tackle him, but he suddenly disappeared and she grunted, hitting the ground.
"Cherry... Are you all right?" Kimba asked.
"Oh, I'm fine," Cherry replied, looking annoyed. "I'm just mad that this monster has to ruin mine and my best friend's lives."
"That's just how Sombra is." Kimba told her.
"Yeah, guess so, but now we have two others to deal with." Cherry said.
"Shall I escort you?" Kimba asked her then.
Cherry nodded in approval. Kimba then lowered himself and allowed Cherry to climb onto his back and he soon went to take her to where Jack was, faced with Jackie and Pitch.
"You have powers a lot like mine," Jack said to Jackie. "Why are you on the side of dark and evil?"
"It's my personal business and I know a good Jack Frost when I see one and you sir, are no good Jack Frost." Jackie taunted.
"Oh, this coming from the one that thought she deserved to rule the ice castle then the actual royal family?" Atticus asked her.
"Hey! I had everything under control!" Jackie glared.
"Yeah, by making The Snow King snow blind and making him mistreat everybody because he thought they were insulting him!" Mo glared back.
"That's very petty and childish and you know it!" Patch sneered.
"Hey, it's not my fault if the precious Winter Princess couldn't do anything for herself and had everything handed to her just because she was the princess," Jackie glowered as she tried to shoot dark ice magic at them. "Why does Crystal get to have everything?"
"Well, she is the princess." Patch rolled his eyes with a scoff.
"I had to learn how to be independent and look out for my brother my entire life and she just gets happiness on a silver platter," Jackie growled at them. "You have no idea what it's like to have someone live a better life than you and just be pushed to the shadows and treated like you don't even matter!"
'Is that how Cherry is treated sometimes?' Wendy thought to herself.
"None of you ever had to go through what I went through!" Jackie glared.
"Oh, you think so?" Cherry glared as she arrived, riding on Kimba.
"Cherry!" Wendy smiled in relief to see her older cousin.
"Oh... You're back now..." Jackie smirked, unafraid of Cherry's arrival.
"That's right," Cherry replied as she crossed her arms while sitting on Kimba's back. "You know what I think, Jackie? You're not evil or mad at anybody. You're just sad and mad at yourself."
"Yeah, right." Jackie scoffed.
"I mean it, you're sad and mad at yourself because of how you're life has been." Cherry said.
"Stop talking!" Jackie told her.
"And it didn't help that you kept feeling this way because you thought that Crystal and her parent were unfit to rule," Cherry said. "But that's just the roles they were given."
"What do you know?" Jackie huffed as she crossed her arms and turned away from Cherry.
"You and Crystal used to be friends, didn't you?" Cherry soon guessed.
"What's it to you?" Jackie asked.
"I might not know you very well, but I can tell there's better greatness inside of you that's just been overlooked because of Crystal being The Princess of Winter," Cherry said. "And you had to look after her with your brother. You're jealous and your jealousy turned to bitterness and anger, I imagine."
"How can you possibly know how I feel?" Jackie asked. "It's not like you have a best friend who gets his way and makes you feel like you're being overshadowed."
"At times, yes, but not all the time." Cherry said.
"Wait, what?" Jackie asked.
"You heard me." Cherry said.
"Wait, you mean that-" Jackie started.
"Atticus is a very good friend of mine, but sometimes he lets his special gifts get in the way," Cherry said softly. "Sometimes it hurts me deep inside."
"It... It does...?" Jackie asked.
"Yeah... Then sometimes I get really mad when I get back home," Cherry nodded. "Sometimes I wish I could've changed some things... Sometimes I wish he didn't have those powers. Sometimes I wonder if other people are right about him being perfect all the time and it's hard for me to forgive him sometimes. Sometimes I just feel like he doesn't need me because he has all of that power, but I try to find a way to fight my way around it and not lose my temper, and believe me, it's really not easy 95% of the time."
"Whoa." Jackie said.
'I never knew Cherry really felt like that,' Atticus thought to himself. 'Okay, yes. I've noticed once and a while, but not all the time. I'll try my best to not always be the hero to save the day.'
"But unlike you I never once decided to use any evil magic dust to make someone think everyone was saying the opposite to what they were actually saying," Cherry told Jackie. "Sure I did turn evil by letting my dark side take over during a song and also have my dark side take over due to too much magic, but in the end I always had my friends to help me through back to the light."
"You turned evil?" Jackie asked. "I mean, sure, you're a bit dark and gloomy, but I wouldn't call you evil."
"Oh, I can have my mean moments," Cherry replied. "But I'll always apologize once things are right again. I think you and Crystal could become friends if you wanted to."
"Really? Even after what I did and what I've done?" Jackie asked.
"Yeah," Cherry nodded. "Of course after you apologize for using the dark magic from The Evil Queen's mirror to cause the kindness blindness curse so you could rule over winter."
"Fair enough." Jackie said.
"What are you doing, Jackie?" Pitch's voice glared.
"I think... I have to think and look into my heart." Jackie said.
"You can't tell me you're listening to that little emo girl," Pitch huffed. "She's just trying to poison your mind and make you think that this will give you the recognition and life you deserve."
"First, I am not an emo I am a perky goth and second, yes it will." Cherry glared at Pitch.
"Oh, please, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of." Pitch rolled his eyes.
"This coming from the guy who is wanting everyone to fear him," Cherry said. "And thinking that his evil plan is going to work."
"It still will once I get rid of that child," Pitch told her before looking at Jackie firmly. "Now Jackie, let's go and make Jamie feel true fear!"
Jackie bit her lip as she looked around a bit.
"It's up to you, Jackie," Cherry told the Frost girl. "What will you do?"
Jackie looked at her before looking back at Pitch.
"Well...? We're waiting!" Pitch told Jackie sharply.
"...Yes, sir." Jackie soon nodded.
"Very good," Pitch grinned. "Now abandon that emo girl and join me."
"Jackie..." Cherry frowned, looking almost disappointed.
"I have to keep my word to King Sombra and Pitch Black," Jackie told Cherry, though she put her hand behind her back and crossed her fingers. "I gave my word and you won't stop me."
Cherry noticed that before hiding a small smile as she had a good feeling about that before frowning stoically. "Oh, no..." she then said, luckily sounding convincing enough so that Pitch would think that Jackie was still staying by his side. "I guess there are some people who can't change for the better."
"You are so right, Cherry," Pitch smirked. "Now if you'll excuse us we have a child to frighten enough so his light will go out and then those two other children will be next."
"Casper and Wendy." Cherry gasped.
"Yes, those two will lose their belief in The Guardians next," Pitch smirked. "Come, Jackie, we have children scare."
Jackie looked over at Cherry and soon left the scene suddenly.
"Cherry..." Kimba called.
"I have faith in Jackie no matter what she said or thinks, especially about Crystal from our last Ever After High adventure," Cherry said to her tiger. "We'll still help stop Pitch Black though."
"Right." Kimba nodded.
Pitch laughed evilly as he and Jackie made their way to where Jack and the others.
"I just hate villains when they make that laugh." Doc Croc said.
"Gives me the willies if ya ask me." Yoyo added.
