A/N: Hey fellow readers and writers! I am REALLY sorry I haven't updated. I was a little stumped.
I had to sift through the movie and a few other stories to gain some inspiration. This chapter was a little long so I broke it up into parts.
Hope you like it! Again, feel free to review and thanks to those who already have:

Jack and Lily were sitting on the roof of North's workshop a week later.
"Why didn't you guys come earlier?" Lily asked.
"We weren't sure what you were." Jack replied.
"But it took you guys a century!"
"I know."
A pause.
"I felt someone messing with my powers." Jack whispered. "It felt like my control was being shared."
"So you went to investigate." Lily said.
Jack blushed and rubbed the back of his neck.
"I wasn't... Uhh... I had to..." he mumbled.
"Well you found me!" Lily said cheerfully, laughing at his distraught state. He smiled at her and then looked at the sky.
It had turned a beautiful shade of orange. The sunset was as beautiful as ever.
It reminded Lily of the ones she had seen in the century she had been . That word would never exist again.
She would always have Eve in her heart and the other guardians as company.
It made her happy to know that she would never have to spend the entire day by herself trying to find new ways to have fun.
She had already run out of ideas. Jack, of course, never did. She turned to face him and noticed that he was gone.
She knew he was up to something. Slowly, Lily stood up without looking behind her. Approaching his victims from behind was Jack's favorite tactic.
She stepped onto the edge of the roof and dropped off the side of it.
The white falcon was the only thing she had ever shifted into in her immortal life, so she wasn't planning on changing that - it was too obvious.
Instead, she turned into a snowy owl, glided through the air and alighted on the snow below.
Shifting back into a human, she glanced at the roof and laughed when she saw Jack glaring down at her with his special "cheater" face.
He drifted down to her side and muttered, "I have to be more careful with you." Lily and Jack walked into North's workshop.
Even after spending an entire week there, the place still took her breath away. Toys were everywhere. In the air, on the ground.
Yetis were painting them, elves were breaking them. The place smelled like cookies and gingerbread (not surprising).
The two winter spirits walked towards North's office. As Jack reached for the handle, the door opened suddenly and both he and the guardian on the other side gave a surprised yell.
Lily rolled her eyes at the two. "Ahh! Jack! I was just about to call you. Need to discuss training."
Lily raised her eyebrows. Training? What was training? Who was it for? "Oh right!" Jack answered the big man.
"Sure. Hey Lily? Want to come in with us?" he asked her. "Kay." she replieed. They walked to the red couch in the center of the room.
Since North took up most of it, Lily and Jack went over to the smaller, white couch. North put his elbows on his knees and interlaced his fingers.
"North has plan," he said. "Lily is guardian, right?" Lily nodded, unsure of where this is going.
"But Lily doesn't know how to be guardian. SO. We will teach Lily." He nodded, satisfied with his plan.
She understood now that she was the one getting training and it was training to become a... better guardian? Lily sighed. Why was her life so confusing?
"We start tomorrow, okay?" North asked. She nodded and sighed again. Jack stood up, offering his hand like the gentleman he was.
Wait... Jack... a GENTLEMAN! Lily guffawed and Jack shot her a perplexed look. She just shook her head and took his hand.
They walked out of North's office and went outside.
