At the funeral for Sandy, neither Jack or Elaina could stand to be that close to everyone and their sadness when they were suffering in their own ways. Elaina more so, and Jack allowed her to wrap around him as tightly as she wanted while he sat on the window sill. He looked at the window pane and pressed his pinky against it, frosting an image of Sandy. "Are you alright?" North asked, his voice riddled with genuine concern.
"I just...I wish I could've done something!" Jack scolded himself. 'Something for Elaina, something for Sandy.'
'Jack...' Elaina whimpered out. She knows that somehow someway her Father survives this, but it still hurts with the atmosphere and watching her biological Father murder the man who was TRULY like a Father to her.
"Done something?" North questioned with disbelief. "Jack, you stood up to Pitch. You saved us!"
"But Sandy..."
"Would be proud of what you did." Jack looked up at him and pulled back the hood of his jacket with a heavy heart. "I don't who you were in your past life, but in this life, you are guardian."
"But...how can I know who I am...until I find out who I was?"
"You will." North reassured him. "I feel it. In my belly."
'Right and that's never wrong?' Jack thought to himself as he found himself a bit amused at the idea of North listening to his belly.
The sound of the lights going out got everyone's attention, and Tooth gasped. "Look how fast they're going out!"
"It's fear." Jack stated as he flew up towards the globe. "He's tipped the balance."
"Hey, buck up you sad sacks!" Bunny started with a voice that seemed hopeful. "We can still turn this around! Easter is tomorrow, and I need your help!" Jack's face lit up with delight and excitement. "I say we pull out all the stops and we get those lights flickering again!"
oOoOoOoOo
"Welcome to the Warren!" Bunny greeted with a slight chuckle, but then something caught his attention. Jack narrowed his eyes at the strange running eggs, and they seemed to be running AWAY from something. "Something's up."
As the screaming got closer, they all began to charge after the noise, thinking it was Pitch, only to find it was a little girl with blonde hair. "Sophie?" Jack asked, and they all quickly put away their weapons.
"What is SHE doing HERE!?" Bunny questioned desperately as he tried to see the little girl who was chasing one of North's elves.
"Uh oh...Snow globe..."
"Crikey, somebody do something!" Bunny exclaimed, not used to children in his warren.
"Hey, don't look at me. I'm invisible, remember?"
'No, Jack, I'M invisible. You just can't be seen by Mortals.'
'Same difference, Elaina.'
"Don't worry Bunny." Tooth started as she flew a little higher towards Sophie. "I bet she's a fairy fan. It's okay little one."
Sophie smiled and her eyes lit up with wonder. "Pretty!"
"Awe...you know what? I have something for you! Here it is..." She held out her hand towards the small child, holding teeth in her palm. "...Look at all the pretty teeth with little blood and gum on them."
Sophie ran away screaming and began to chase the eggs again. "Blood and gums? When was the last time you guys actually hung out with kids?"
Sophie chased the eggs into a stone head, laughing with pure joy in her heart. "Peek-a-boo!" She shouted and the eggs began running away again.
"We are very busy bringing joy to children! We don't have time...for children..." Even Bunny straightened up at the mere thought of it.
"Well..." Jack made a singular snowflake appear as joy, hope, wonder, and fun bubbled through his powers, and he released the snowflake towards Bunny. "...if one little kid can ruin Easter, than we're in more trouble than I thought."
The snowflake fell against Bunny's nose and his eyes lit up with a fond look, and he started paying more attention to Sophie as he commanded the eggs to paint themselves throughout his Warren. Then, Jack and Elaina both started to notice the strangest thing. He actually started to have fun, and the stress of Easter melted off him as he now had fun with the eggs getting painted and carrying Sophie on his back as he ran through the painting paths. As the rest of the eggs were making their ways to the different continents Bunny pointed at a stray egg for Sophie to find. "Oh, what's that over there?" Sophie ran over to get it and danced it back to Bunny as she giggled freely. "Oh, that's a beauty!" Bunny exclaimed as he carefully grabbed Sophie's hand and led her to where the other eggs were running towards their tunnels. "Now, all we got to do is get him and his little mates through the tunnels to the top, and we'll have ourselves Easter." Bunny sighed as Sophie began to quickly get tired. He picked her up carefully in his arms and she was asleep almost instantly in his arms.
Jack walked over and crouched next to Bunny with pure wonder, hope, and joy as he watched the little eggs run towards the tunnels. "Not bad." He told Bunny with a wide smile.
"Not bad yourself."
"Look, I'm sorry about the whole...kangaroo thing."
"It's the accent isn't it?" They both gave a soft chuckle. "Oh, poor little ankle biter. Look at her, all tuckered out."
"I love her." Tooth said as she lightly flew over her. She landed next to Bunny and held out her hands to take the child from Bunny. "I think it's time to get her home."
"How about I take her home?" Jack asked.
'Right and how are you gonna do that!?'
'She's asleep. You can believe in anything when you sleep.'
'You're guessing aren't you?'
'Yeah, I'm guessing.'
"Jack, no. Pitch is..." Tooth started.
"...No match for this." He finished as he held out his staff.
"Which is why we need you here with us." Bunny stated.
"Trust me. I'll be quick as a bunny."
oOoOoOoOo
Jack had just put Sophie to bed, slightly unsuccessfully if Elaina's laughter was anything to go by. He then looked to Baby Tooth as he carefully closed the window. "We...should get back."
"Jack!" A young girls voice called out and Current Jack heard Tooth audibly gasp from behind him, but decided to ignore it for now.
"That voice..." He narrowed his eyes trying to remember where he's heard it from. "I know that voice."
"Jack!" It called out once more, and almost as if he was in some sort of trance, he flew off towards the sound of the voice, his eyes searching for where it could've come from. "Jack!" It called out again and he landed on someone's roof, again searching the area for the familiar voice. "Jack!" It said again. 'It's coming from the forest!' He flew off towards the forest, intent on finding the source of the voice. Once he made it to the middle of the woods and landed he walked closer to where he assumed the voice was coming from and found an old wooden bed frame that seemed to be broken in some places. "Jack?"
Baby tooth tried to pull on his hoodie, but Jack waved at her with almost a hypnotized trance look in his eyes as he continued forward. There was a wooden bed, and as he continued to walk towards it, Baby Tooth attempted to get his attention at the same time as Elaina. However, Jack could barely hear her. 'Jack...we...go! JACK! Can...hear...!?'
"Don't worry...there's still time." Once he dove down the whole he saw, he felt Baby Tooth at his hoodie again. "Baby Tooth! Baby T...C'mon! I have to find out what that is!" He looked up and saw all of the fairies that were captured earlier, in cages. All of the fairies started crying for Jack's help. He flew up to a cage and saw so many fairies inside. "Shhhh keep it down! I'm gonna get you out as soon as I..."
"Jack?" The voice called again and the trance like stare appeared on his face once again. "Jack!"
"...I can..." He practically threw himself into the pile of teeth canisters and frantically looked for a face that resembled his but found none.
"Looking for something?" Pitch called out from the shadows. 'Pitch!' Jack turned around and shot ice towards the shadow, and as it disappeared he began to chase it. "Don't be afraid, Jack. I'm not gonna hurt YOU."
Jack jumped around the darkened corridor until he found Pitch walking across a bridge. He flew towards him and started following him with his staff ready to strike. "Afraid? I'm not afraid of you."
"Maybe not, but you are afraid of something."
"You think so, huh?"
"I know so! It's the one thing I always know. People's greatest fears. Yours is that no one will ever believe in you." Fear began to settle into Jack's heart as Pitch's shadow grew more at his own words. Then suddenly, he was pulled down a dark tunnel and pushed out somewhere else in the cavern as he chuckled darkly. "And worst of all..." Pitch continued. "You're afraid you'll never know why! Why you? Why were you chosen?" Jack ran away from the voice all while trying to find where it came from. His heart was pounding and he was getting more frightened the more Pitch talked, because to an extent, he was right. He backed up against the wall as he noticed Pitch's shadow coming towards him, becoming more solid. "...To be like this. Well, fear not. For the answer to that is right here." Pitch held out the canister to Jack and looked at them both with a soft yet twisted reminiscent smile on his face as he asked, "Do you want them, Jack? Your memories?" Jack reached out to them, but drew his hand back as he scoffed out a breath of disbelief at himself. 'I have to get back to the others...' Jack thought to himself as Pitch disappeared again, and he soon found himself chasing him again through the dark cavern of cages. "Everything you wanted to know..." Pitch's shadow spoke. "...in this little box." His shadow disappeared and Jack rushed after it with determination in his eyes. "Why did you end up like this?" Pitch's voice seemed to come from everywhere at this point, and Jack could feel his heart hammering in his chest as fear quickly started to run rampant through his entire body. He started to find himself breathing hard, in fear of what else Pitch might say. "...unseen..." He continued. "...unable to reach out to anyone. You want the answers so badly. You want to grab them and fly off with them, but you're afraid of what the guardians will think. You're afraid...of disappointing them. Well let me ease your mind about one thing. They'll never accept you...not really."
Pitch's voice echoed around him and in his head. 'They'll never...accept me...No! Stop...!' Jack started to grab his ear as he attempted to push out the fear from his heart and make his ears not listen to Pitch's cruelty. "Ngh! Stop it! Stop it!" He shouted. 'Get out of my head!'
"After all..." Pitch appeared in front of Jack who was now standing next Pitch's version of the globe. "You'll never be one of them." He smiled darkly as he approached closer.
Jack held his staff once again, ready to attack Pitch at any moment as he tried to will the fear out of his body. "You don't know what I am!" He growled out.
"Of course I do! You're Jack Frost! You make a mess where ever you go. Why...you're doing it right now." He tossed the teeth canister towards Jack, and Jack caught it, and looked at it skeptically.
"What did you do?"
"More to the point, Jack? What did you do?" Pitch chuckled out darkly as he and his glowing eyes started fading away into darkness.
Jack immediately went after him, his staff glowing with power, when he realized that Pitch wasn't there. He made to turn around but found himself facing a wall instead. "Baby Tooth!" He exclaimed as worry filled his heart.
"Happy Easter, Jack."
Jack turned around to see crushed eggs and his heart sank, and his soul ached. "No..." He said sadly as he made his way down the tunnel.
Jack arrived at the egg hunt and immediately witnessed a child walking through Bunny. 'No...not Bunny...' He though guiltily. "They don't see me..." Bunny started. "They don't see me..." He said once more as he began to crouch in on himself with tears threatening his eyes.
"Jack! Where were you?" North asked, and Jack immediately turned around with guilt practically crushing his heart. "The nightmares...attacked the tunnels. They smashed every egg...crushed every basket. Nothing made it to the surface!"
"Jack!" Tooth immediately flew over towards them, then noticed the canister in his hand. She gasped aloud and looked at Jack. "Where did you get that?"
"I was...it's..."
"Where's Baby Tooth?" She asked frantically. Then, she noticed the little fairy was no longer in sight and began assuming the worst. "Oh, Jack...what have you done!?" She questioned as she backed away from him with a look of pure heartbreak and disbelief.
"That is why you weren't here? You were with PITCH!?"
'WHAT!? Oh no! They think that I...!' Jack's thoughts started to run rampant with the fear from earlier as he realized he needed to say something. He needed to explain. "No! Listen listen..." He let out a heavy breath. "I'm sorry!" He stated desperately. "I didn't mean for this to happen!"
"He has to go." Bunny said from behind him.
"What?" Jack asked as worry filled his heart. 'Please, no...let me explain!'
"WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE TRUSTED YOU!" Bunny rose a paw at Jack in the form of a fist, seemingly ready to hit him, but then Bunny lowered his fist and let out a heavy sigh. "Easter is...New beginnings...new life. Easter is about Hope! And now it's gone." Bunny sighed once more as he walked away from Jack with a disappointed look. He turned around to North and Tooth silently begging, 'You have to believe me! I didn't have control! I didn't mean to...' But North and Tooth looked away. Jack then took out the small wooden doll that North had given him, and looked at it's eyes. 'Huh...Guardian of Wonder? He wouldn't even listen...' He tossed the doll to the ground and flew away.
oOoOoOoOo
Jack was about to throw away his tooth canister, but then he heard Elaina's voice. 'Don't do that, Jack. You know you don't want to, and even though a lot of things...went badly...you still have your tooth canister.'
Jack groaned out as he slammed his arm down. 'Yeah, and now they hate me, and the only one that liked me is...'
"I thought this might happen..." He heard from behind him, and instantly, his rage was seething at just the sound of it. "They never really believed in you. I was just trying to show you that." Jack grew livid the more and more Pitch continued to talk. "But I understand."
A growl left Jack's throat as he immediately and relentlessly attacked Pitch with an ice blast. "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!" He shouted as he jumped over Pitch, landed on the far other side of him, and shot another ice blast.
Pitch then used his nightmare sand as a shield from Jack's blast that would've likely sent him off the edge of the cliff. "No!?" He challenged. "I don't know what it's like to be cast out!?" He shot out nightmare sand at Jack who avoided it and immediately flew high into the air with a vengeful yell as he shot out a large and powerful icy blast, that Pitch had to use quite a bit of nightmare sand to defend with. "To not be believed in?" He continued. "To long for...a family!?"
'What!?' Jack questioned immediately in his mind as he lowered his staff. 'Does he remember his humanity that much?'
'No, Jack! It's a trick!' Elaina pleaded. 'Don't listen to him!'
"We don't have to be alone Jack. I believe in you, and I know children will too!"
'Really?' Jack thought. "In me?"
"Yes!" Pitch laughed out in a giddy manner. "Look at what we can do?" Pitch asked as he gestured to the large nightmare-ice sculpture. "What goes together better than cold and dark!? We can make them BELIEVE! We'll give them a world where everything...EVERYTHING IS..."
"Pitch Black?" Jack inquired using his staff to point at him. 'I don't think so...'
'Oh thank goodness!' Elaina sighed out.
"And Jack Frost too..." Pitch quickly caught himself. "...They'll believe in both of us."
"No, they'll FEAR both of us, and that's not what I want. Now, for the LAST time, leave me alone!"
Pitch's excited look from earlier quickly turned into one of anger and frustration. "Very well. You want to be left alone. Done! But first..."
Jack heard a familiar squeak from behind him and his eyes went wide. "Baby Tooth!"
"THE STAFF, JACK! You have a bad habit of interfering. Now, hand it over, and I'll let her go."
Jack clutched his staff, ready to attack, and he heard the power practically sing from it with an icy voice, but he lowered it and flipped it around, handing it to Pitch. Pitch immediately took it and it lost all it's icy appearance it held when in Jack's hands. "Alright, now let her go."
"No." He said simply. "You wanted to be alone? Then BE alone!"
"Hey!" Baby tooth squeaked out and she slammed her beak into Pitch's thumb.
Pitch, caught by surprise and only further angered, threw her against the ice wall in front of him. "No!" Jack shouted as he watched Baby Tooth hit the wall. He turned around to face Pitch when suddenly he watched his staff snap in two. As the staff snapped, so did his ability to breath, and it felt like his heart and soul and everything he was, was split in two...painfully. He thought for a brief moment that his ribs were broken, but he didn't have time to think about it as Pitch hurled nightmare sand at him and tossed him against the very same wall, causing him to lose consciousness until he woke up not long after landing down the icy cavern. Then, Pitch tossed Jack's broken staff into the same area.
Once Jack regained consciousness, he looked over next to him and noticed that Baby Tooth was hurt. He shuffled over on his stomach, unable to move his legs quite yet and quickly grabbed her. "Baby Tooth! You alright?" He whispered out. He tried to close his hands around her to keep her warm when suddenly she squeaked, causing him to open up his hands, and she sneezed, then shook her head. He let out a disappointed sigh as he still held her. "Sorry, all I can do is keep you cold..." He stood up on his knees only to crouch back down on them with another heavy sigh. "Pitch was right..." Jack stated with pure hopelessness. "I make a mess of everything." Baby tooth crawled from his hand and into his pocket causing Jack to let out a short, "Hey!" before leaning up against the wall.
"Jack? Jack!"
He looked down at his hoodie pocket and it was glowing. "Whoa!" He shouted as he jumped back in surprise until his back hit the ice wall. He took out the golden canister and looked at it, and Baby Tooth who held her own tiny hand against it, nodding her head. He carefully placed his hand in the middle of the canister and was immediately brought forward to his memories. He saw how he played with the other children, went on Easter egg hunts, put on shadow puppet plays for them, played in trees, and most importantly, he witnessed himself saving his little sisters life and how MiM changed him from a dead mortal to Jack Frost. Then finally, as if all breath had left him, he sucked in a large gasp of air as he came flooding back to himself. He looked at the canister, then at Baby Tooth, then to the canister again in disbelief. "Did you...Did you see that!?" Baby Tooth shook her head for her answer, but that didn't stop every amount of happiness that came rushing into Jack's heart. "It was...It was me!" He said frantically as he moved to grab Baby Tooth to tell her of what he saw. "I had A FAMILY! I had a SISTER! I SAVED her!" Then realization dawned on him as he looked up to the full moon above him. "That's why you chose me..." He whispered out. "I'm...I'm a guardian!" The smile on his face was nothing compared to the pure feeling of Hope, Wonder, and the feeling of his dreams coming true as he finally found his memories and why he was put into the world as Jack Frost. His heart and soul swelled with joy, but he soon realized, he still needed to get out and get to the others. No matter if they hated him or not, he needed to get to them, but before them, he had to get the fairies. "We have to get out of here!" He said as he started looking for a way to climb out. Then, he noticed his staff. He quickly grabbed it and tried to put it back together, focusing on everything he felt inside. Everything the guardians represented, but it didn't work. He tried once more as he looked deep inside himself for everything the guardians represented AND how he felt when he used his powers. To his surprise, the staff began mending itself in his hands. Once it was mended he shot up into the air and danced with the wind laughing joyously. "Come on Baby Tooth! I owe you one!"
'Oh Jack! I'm so happy for you! Oh! I love you!'
'I love you too, Elaina! I am so glad I have my memories back! Oh, and I saw you there...don't worry, I'm not mad. I'm actually happy you've kept it a secret this whole time. I've made friends and I've figured out who I am! This is amazing, but I can't celebrate right now! I have to get to the fairies! Take me there as fast as you can!'
'Hold on tight, love!'
'To you? Always!'
oOoOoOoOo
After getting to the cages, realizing they couldn't fly, and then when he noticed that there was one light left, and he knew that light well, Jack knew exactly where he needed to go. "Okay, look. You and I are obviously at what they call...a crossroads. So, here's what's gonna happen...If it wasn't a dream and if you ARE real, then you have to prove it...like right now." Jack lowered himself at the window as he thought, 'Oh, Jamie...I'm so sorry...' He thought to himself as his frown deepened, but he decided to let Jamie continue. "I've believed in you for a long time, okay? 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." Jamie begged his stuffed animal with a small glimmer of hope still left in his eyes, but when nothing he happened he tossed the stuffed rabbit onto the floor and sighed. "I knew it." Jack carefully opened the window and walked into Jamie's room. He tapped the glass with his staff, causing it to frost over. 'Even if he won't believe in me...he should at least believe in Bunny.' He thought to himself again as he started to draw an Easter egg on the frosted glass. He then noticed that Jamie's eyes shot up, watching diligently as he drew the egg. Then, Jack started to draw a bunny and he heard Jamie whisper, "He's real!" He couldn't help the small smile that appeared on his face after he finished drawing the bunny. 'That's right, Jamie!' Jack held out his hands to the frosted drawn bunny, unsure of what exactly was going to happen but he felt in his heart that if he focused on everything that Bunny represents and everything that Sandy had shown him, then perhaps he could make the bunny in the window pane real. He breathed in deeply thinking, 'Come on...I got my memories...all I need is North's wonder, Bunny's hope, and Sandy's dream sand like qualities. I BELIEVE I can do this!' He told himself as he finally let out the breath of air, and felt his magic pull wonderfully from his fingers, onto the window pane, and then into his hand. He opened his eyes to see a frosted bunny blinking at him before hopping around Jamie just like Sandy's dream sand would've. Both Jack and Jamie laughed joyfully at the bunny that hopped around in the air before it exploded into a snow flurry falling from what seemed to be Jamie's ceiling. "Snow?" He asked curiously, until a snow flake touched his nose. "Jack Frost." Jamie said aloud with a small smile as he remembered his mothers words not too long ago.
"Did he just say..."
'I...I think he did!' Elaina stuttered out in pure giddy wonder.
"Jack Frost?" Jamie asked the air, thinking he heard someone in his room.
Jack let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding as his heart pounded with hope and disbelief at the same time. "He said it again..." He looked down towards the floor as the hope and wonder continued to rise up into his chest. "He said...YOU said..."
Jamie turned around and his jaw dropped in shock. "Jack Frost!"
"That's right! But...but that's me! Jack Frost! That's my name!" Jack looked at Jamie, and he felt that he might burst with how much Hope was bubbling in his chest. "You said my name!" He then noticed that Jamie was staring right where he was standing and the hope only continued to rise, and his heart started beating faster. "Wait...Can..Can you hear me?" Jamie nodded and Jack felt his breathing become ragged with how much his hope was risen. "Can...Can...Can you...Can you see me?" Jack didn't want to dare to hope, but his hope was already at such a high peak it was impossible to bring it down, and he thought it was impossible to lift it any higher until Jamie nodded at his most recent question. Immediately he felt his eyes begin to well up with overjoyed tears. Jack laughed out breathlessly as his greatest hope was just confirmed. "He sees me. He...He sees me!" He laughed and cried out as all of the hope and wonder practically exploded in his chest as he did a back flip of joy onto Jamie's desk. 'Elaina! He sees me!'
'I know! This is amazing! I'm so happy for you, my love!'
"You just made it snow!" Jamie shouted with glee.
"I know!" Jack replied with so much joy in his heart he almost couldn't take it.
"In my room!"
"I know!"
"You're real!?"
"Yeah man! Who do you think brings you all the blizzards and...and the snow days!? And you remember when you went flying on the sled the other day?"
"That was you?"
"That was me!"
"Cool!"
"I know right!?"
"But what about the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy? I mean, what about..."
"Real! Real! REAL! Every one of us is real!"
"I knew it!"
"Jamie! Who are you talking to?" Jamie's mother called out.
Jack gave Jamie a 'go ahead and tell her' look so he did. "Jack Frost?"
"Okay." She laughed out and Jamie looked at Jack in complete shock. Then they both heard thunder coming from outside.
oOoOoOoOo
The thunder was Pitch's Nightmare tidal wave coming closer, and Jack felt overjoyed when North confirmed that Jamie could see him, however, when he gained more believers through Jamie's friends, that somehow overpowered the joy that was already in his heart. Then, they stepped forward to fight Pitch, and protect THEM. "Still think there's no such thing as The Boogeyman?" Pitch challenged.
"I do believe in you." Jamie admitted. "I'm just not afraid of you!" He held up his hand against the nightmare storm bravely, and everyone was instantly and pleasantly taken back by how the black sand erupted into many mystical golden tendrils of sand almost instantly.
The battle was on, and they were on a level field now! Elaina carried Jack wherever he needed to go while the others fought below for a while, but they then apparently noticed him fighting above, and decided to join him while the 'helpers' fought alongside the children below. The amount of Joy Jack felt in his heart was almost overwhelming, but he couldn't help it. The golden sand meant Sandy, and he was fighting alongside the other Guardians, and they didn't seem to hate him anymore...AND he has believers! Once they cornered him, he allowed a small amount of rage to come through as he glared Pitch down. "It's over, Pitch. There's no where to hide!" Suddenly, Pitch's face turned into a wicked grin as he slunk back into the shadows, causing Jack to immediately turn around.
"Jack! Look out!"
Jack turned around and saw a giant scythe that was aimed for him. 'NO!' Jack screamed in his mind. 'Not like this! Not without...' In mid thought, he saw a familiar golden whip wrap tightly around the scythe, yanking Pitch back. 'S-Sandy!'
'Father!' Elaina shouted in excitement and Jack could hear her tears of joy.
oOoOoOoOo
After the wonderful and amazing display of Sandy's powers, and after Pitch was dragged back into his hole, the other Guardians, the children, and even the 'helpers' came together on top of the icy pond, and Jack couldn't stop the wide grin on his face. North stepped forward with a proud smile as he looked down at Jack. "Are you ready, Jack? To make it official?" Jack simply smiled and walked closer, watching him take his smile as the answer, and he flipped open the large book. "Will you, Jack Frost, vow to watch over the children of the world? To guard them with your life...their hopes, their wishes, and their dreams, for they are all that we have, all that we are, and all that we will ever be."
Jack looked back at Jamie with a small smile. 'Should I, kid?' When Jamie nodded with a proud grin, he knew his answer. "I will."
"Then, congratulations, Jack Frost, for you are now and FOREVER MORE a Guardian."
