When the scene changed again they found themselves quickly following frost that was spreading in various different places. It went across a road, up a water fountain and a kid's tongue got stuck, then papers went flying and a fish bowl froze half way. While this was happening the guardians heard Jack laughing freely. "Oh...now that, that was fun!" He said as he wrapped himself around a tall pole on top of a building. "Hey wind..."

"Yes Jack?" The wind asked as it seemingly lifted a great amount of snow.

"Take me home!" Jack shouted with pure joy in his heart. Almost instantly Jack was lifted up into the heavy wind and balanced himself out as he flew with carefree joy in his heart. He spun around, dancing with the wind as he flew into a sunrise with laughter and whooping loudly with excitement...Once he was taken to where he had wanted to go, he freely let go of the wind and began falling backwards and downwards, head first towards the ground. "SNOW DAY!" The wind carried him through traffic as he jumped off of buildings, trucks, and cars until finally he was carried to the pond and he slid across it until he was next to Jamie.

"Whoa whoa!" Jamie called out as the wind carried the book out of his hands.

"Oh hey that looks interesting...good book?"

"Wahoo! Snow day!"

"You're welcome." Jack said with a proud smile.

"Whoa, it says here that they found Big Foot hair samples and DNA, in Michigan. That's like, super close!"

"Here we go again."

"You saw the video too Claude, he's out there!"

"That's what you said about aliens"

"And the Easter Bunny."

"The Easter bunny IS real."

"Oh he's real alright. Real annoying, real grumpy, and really full of himself."

"Come on, you guys believe anything." Claude laughed out.

"Easter bunny! HOP HOP HOP" Sophie fell off the stairs and began to cry.

Jamie looked her over quickly and made sure she wasn't actually hurt before calling out to his mom. "Mom! Sophie fell again!"

"You okay, Soph?"

"Are we sledding or what?" Claude calls out.

"Jamie, hat? We don't want Jack Frost nipping at your nose."

"Who's Jack Frost?"

"No one, honey. It's just an expression."

"Hey" Jack jumped down from the fence and gave a miffed smirk as he grabbed a snow ball. "Who's Jack Frost?"

"Okay, who threw that?"

Jack flew to where Jamie was, wearing a smirk on his face. "Well, wasn't bigfoot kiddo." Jamie scanned the area for the culprit and decided that Pippa was it. So, he grabbed up a snowball

"Jamie Bennett! No fair!" Pippa called out as she got the snow out of her hair.

"You struck first!"

Jack heard Sandy's voice and turned towards him. "What, Sandy?" A clock with the hands on it spinning, a book with pages turning, and a question mark all appeared above his head at once. "Oh, I learned that little trick while you were away. I tested it out on Jamie first when he was younger, and ever since then, if it looks like they were board or...if I want them to have fun...I do that." Sandy started clapping his hands with a proud smile. "Thank you, Sandy. Let's continue."

"Free for all!" At his words, not that anyone could hear him, everyone started battling with snowballs.

"Alright, who needs ammo?" Jack asked with a hint of laughter as he rolled up more snowballs for them.

The fight continues on joyously until Pippa's snowball made it's way to Cupcake. Cupcake growled in anger as she turned around to see who threw the snowball.

"Crud, I hit Cupcake."

"She hit Cupcake."

"You hit Cupcake?" Jamie was flat on his back, hiding underneath his sled when he looked up to see Cupcake standing over him. When suddenly she was hit with a snowball.

"Oh!" Claude exclaimed.

"Did you throw that?" Caleb asked Monty.

"No." He quickly answered.

"Wasn't me." The strange blue glittering snow made itself across her face, then Cupcake started laughing as Jack's magic took hold. Cupcake chased the kids down the hill, as she held the head of her snowman in her hands. Meanwhile Jack runs along side taking pleasure in the excitement.

The kids were taunting each other back and forth about the snowball fight when a spike of joy made it's way to Jack's chest. "Ooh, little slippery!" He jumped ahead, and blasted a sheet of ice behind him. All of the kids fell to the ground, except for Jamie, who landed on his sled, and slid head first down the sheet of ice and into town.

"Jamie, watch out! Stop!" One of the kids called out.

"Jamie! Turn, turn! That's the street! What are you doing? Stop! There's traffic!" Another one of Jamie's friends called out.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa, don't worry kid, I gotcha." Jamie looked back, then quickly ahead as terror appeared into his eyes as the street approached quickly. Jack couldn't help but smile. "Hold on Jamie! It's gonna be alright."

"Ahhhh. No, no, no, no..."

"Keep up with me kid! Take a left."

"Is that Jamie Bennett?" A woman questioned quickly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..." Jamie said as his heart raced in his chest during his mysterious sled ride.

"Hey! Watch it!" Someone called out.

"There you go!"

"No! No!" Jamie shouted as another obstacle was quickly approaching.

As Jack flew by Jamie's side he quickly noticed the look of excitement appear on Jamie's face. Jack gave a smug smile as he continues to carry Jamie's sled through the road. "Whoa." Jack created ice under his feet causing Jamie's sled to suddenly turn, narrowly missing an oncoming truck. Jamie's expression of fear of the sled ride quickly turned into one of joy while Jack watched, smiling as Jamie flies through the air and then flops safely on a large mound of snow.

"Oh my gosh!" One of Jamie's friends said as the rest of them walked up towards them.

"Yeah!"

"Wow, that looks serious! Jamie! Jamie, are you alright? Is he okay?"

"Whoaaa! Did you guys see that? It was amazing! I slid...I did a jump and I slid under a car and.." Suddenly a couch hit Jamie, knocking him over.

"Whoops." Jack winced with a smile once he noticed that Jamie was still safe.

"Oh! Cool! A tooth!"

"Dude, that means cash!"

"Tooth fairy cash!"

"Oh, no! Oh!"

"You lucky bum!"

"I got to put this under my pillow!"

"Oh, wait a minute. Come on. Hold on, hold on. What about all the fun we just had? "

"That wasn't the Tooth Fairy, that was me!" Jack flew in front of the kids to stand and try to get them to see him. "What's a guy got to do to get a little attention around here?" Jamie walked right through him and he felt his heart sink into his feet. He looked at the children as they walked away and talked to one another, and allowed the wind to take him away from there.

The memory changed but it had only switched to night time with Jack on top of Jamie's house looking up at the moon with pleading eyes. "If there's something I'm doing wrong...can you just tell me what it is? Because I've tried everything! You put me here...the least you can do is tell me, tell me why..." He waited to receive an answer, but when none came he just let out a disappointed sigh and began walking on a wire, tapping his staff sadly against it. Then, a familiar golden sand appeared in front of him and almost all of the sadness and disappointment washed away in am instant. He immediately turned around to see a bunch of Sandy's lengthy strands of sand fly through the air. He pulled back his hood and gave a wide smile. "Right on time Sandman." He ran along the wire until he found some sand that was close enough. He jumped up to touch it and the familiar dolphin appeared.

"Jack...did Manny not talk to you?" North asked with concerned eyes.

"No...whenever Sandy wasn't there, and the moon was full, I would ask him why I'm here. What I'm supposed to do. However, the only thing he ever did tell me, was my name."

"That's not right, Jack."

"Heh, you're telling me, but it's okay now."

"You know...aside from Manny not talking to you, I'm actually kinda disappointed that I didn't get to watch Sandy train ya in combat. What did you do?" Bunny asked curiously.

"Well, mostly I trained in Antarctica and I would target ice sculptures, and I would attack them with ice. It took a few months to figure out how to get lightning ice out of my staff, but I was eventually able to do it. I also learned evasive maneuvers...but yeah...Sandy mostly told me that I had to pretty much put my being into my attacks. I had to feel something a little bit different from what I normally feel when I use my powers. It's not a pleasant feeling, but it works."

"What do you mean is not pleasant?" North questioned with a risen brow.

"You'll find out later. I'm sure of it." Jack gave a small smile before turning back to his memories and he nodded. "Let's continue."

Jack suddenly heard and saw something practically fly by. "Whoa!" He went to chase after it, and didn't see anything. Then it moved it again. He jumped across rooftops and a car, setting off the alarm, just before landing on the pavement. Whatever it was, it ran past some trash cans. Jack lifted up his staff, ready to fight who ever or what ever was zipping around the town he called home.

"Hello, mate." Jack jumped with a startled gasp as he pointed his staff at his mysterious greeter. "Been a long time...blizzard of '68 I believe. Easter Sunday, wasn't it?"

'Oh, thank moon it's just Bunny.' Jack thought to himself as he leaned against his staff. "Bunny! You're not still mad about that are you?" On the outside he was being snide, but on the inside he genuinely wanted to know.

"Yes!" He answered as he started to look at his boomerang. "But this is about something else...Fellas!"

Suddenly, Jack is lifted up into the air by two yetis. "Hey...what the put me down! What the..." Then he finds himself tossed into the sack.

He heard one of them say something in their own language before hearing Bunny. "Me?" Bunny laughed out. "Not on your nelly. See you back at the pole."

He felt himself spin almost out of control while still inside the bag when he heard a jingling noise. "He's here! Quiet." Jack moved the bag off him so he could get a better look at where he was at, and he honestly couldn't believe his eyes. "Hey! There he is...Jack Frost!" North opened his arms wide, and Jack's jaw dropped.

"Wow...you gotta be kidding me..." The yetis lifted him up once more. "Hey Hey...put me down." Jack asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"I hope the yetis treated you well."

"Oh yeah...I love being shoved in a sack and tossed through a magic portal."

"Oh, good...that was my idea."

"Oh...you were being sarcastic."

"Yeah, North...I was. Let's continue." Jack said with an amused smile.

"You know Bunny...obviously."

"Obviously..."

"And the Tooth Fairy."

"Hello, Jack. I've heard a lot about you...and your teeth!"

"My...My what?" Jack backed away unsure of what she was completely talking about.

"Open up! Are they really as white as they say? Yes! Oh they really do sparkle like freshly fallen snow!" She watched as her fairies were fluttering around Jack squealing in their own little language. "Girls, pull yourselves together! Let's not disgrace the uniform."

"And Sandman. Sandy...Sandy? Wake up!" North tapped him and raised his voice slightly. Then, finally Sandy woke up from his short nap.

"Hey Ho! Anyone wanna tell me why I'm here?" Jack looked directly at Sandy for the answer.

"I can Jack!" Jack walked towards Sandy with a small smile. "Okay so apparently there was black sand...north called us here and then the moon...and then we had to get you here because of guardian stuff and then the globe was funny and..."

"Uh, that's not really helping, but thanks, little man."

"Sorry, Jack, I haven't seen you in a long time..."

"I must've done something really bad to get you four together." He tapped his staff on a small elf and froze it. "Am I on the naughty list?"

"Jack, your powers have improved!" Sandy exclaimed to Jack only.

"HA! On naughty list!? You hold record, but no matter...we over look. Now we are wiping clean the slate."

"How come?" Jack asked as he turned to mainly Sandy for the answer.

"Ah..good question." Came Bunny's snide remark.

"How come? I tell you how come! Because you are now guardian!" Immediately trumpeting was heard and drums.

Jack looked to Sandy for an answer but only saw him holding a strange looking cup up to him with a simple, "Congratulations."

Eventually Jack had enough of the music and fire and he slammed the bottom of his staff down, creating a floor of ice, stopping the music. "What makes you think I wanna be a guardian?"

Sandy looked back and forth at Jack and North frantically. "But...Jack...you always loved the stories I told about my friends..."

"Ha..." North bellowed out in laughter. "Of course you do! Music!"

"No music!" An elf slammed down it's trumpet and walked off. "No offense but uh...you don't want me. You're all hard work and deadlines. I'm snowballs and fun times." He sat down on one of the desks and let out a very slight sigh. "I'm not a guardian."

"Jack..." The tooth fairy flew over with a determined look on her face. "I don't think you understand what it is we do." Jack practically glared at her as she flew up towards the large globe. 'I understand, I've had plenty of teaching from Sandy.' Not knowing his inner thoughts, Tooth continued. "Each of those lights, is a child."

"A child who believes, and good or bad, naughty or nice, we protect them."

Suddenly Tooth was in Jack's mouth again. "Ah! Ah!"

"Tooth...fingers out of mouth!"

"Oh sorry..." She blushed slightly. "They're beautiful!"

"Okay okay...no more wishy washy. Pitch is out there doing who knows what!"

"You mean...You mean The Boogeyman?"" He chuckled out slightly.

"Yes! When Pitch threatens us he threatens them!"

Jack walked away feeling even more ticked off. "All the more reason to pick someone more qualified!"

"Pick!? You think we pick? No, you were chosen like we were all chosen...by man in moon!"

"What?" Jack's angered immediately doused itself as he turned around to face all of them.

"Last night Jack...he chose you."

"Maybe..." Bunny added.

"The man in the moon..." Jack looked up at the moon with narrowed eyes in disbelief. "He talks to you?"

"You see...you cannot say no. It is destiny."

"But why wouldn't he tell me that himself?" Jack quickly ran a hand through his snow white hair and groaned. "After three hundred years, this is his answer!? To spend eternity like you guys cooped up in some hide out, thinking of new ways to bribe kids? No, no...that's not for me!" He shouted at the moon before looking at Bunny. "No offense."

"How...How was that not offensive? You know what I think? I think we just dodged a bullet. I mean what's this clown know about bringing joy to children anyway?"

"More than you know, Bunny." Sandy said quietly towards Jack as he tried to peer around Bunny who was scratching his ear.

"Um have you ever heard of a snow day? I know it's no hard boiled egg, but kids like what I do."

"But none of them believe in you, do they? You see, you're invisible, mate. It's like you don't even exist."

"Bunny enough!" Tooth scolded, but everyone knew Bunny would ignore it.

"No, the kangaroos right."

"T-The what? What did you call me? I am not a kangaroo mate!"

"Oh and this whole time I thought you were. Tell me, if you're not a kangaroo, what are you!?"

"I'm a bunny. The Easter Bunny! People believe in me!"

"Isn't that what you told the younger version of Jack...and Jack...isn't that what you basically called Bunny when you were younger?" Tooth asked.

"I...Now that ya mention it Tooth..." Jack started.

"Now that you mention it...I almost couldn't help but reply with that...and I'm sorry I said it. It was far harsher than necessary." Bunny helped finish.

"No, it's alright now...but that is strange. I guess it has something to do with me being your first true believer."

"Perhaps it does." North commented.

"Well...let's continue I guess."

Jack kept his glare at Bunny with tears threatening to fall, when suddenly he heard Sandy's voice. "North, please talk to Jack alone."

"Jack, walk with me." North whispered loudly.

The vision shifted to Jack stepping out of the elevator. "It's nothing personal, North. It's just what you all do...it's not my thing."

"Man in Moon says it is your thing!" He shouted in confidence and then whispered, "We will see..."

"Hey, slow down will ya?" Jack ran after North in complete awe at the workshop. "I've been trying to bust in here for years! I want a good look!"

"What do you mean bust in?"

"Oh don't worry. I never made it past the yetis." He looked to his right at a familiar one. "Oh, hey, Phil."

"Keep up, Jack. Keep up!"

Jack looked around the work shop in awe when he quickly noticed that the yetis were the ones creating and testing the toys. "I always thought the elves made the toys."

"We just let them believe that." North stopped at a group of elves that were 'testing' lights when one of them seemingly got electrocuted. "Very nice! Keep up good work!" North put an arm around Jack to urge him to move forward. There was a yeti who was painting robots blue when he said, "I don't like it. Paint it red!" Once they made it into his office he saw an elf carrying a fruit cake. He took it and held it in front of him. "Fruitcake?"

"Um...no thanks."

North tossed the cake behind him and started cracking his knuckles. "Now we get down to tacks of brass."

Jack looked at him with confusion written in his eyes. "Tacks of..."

North got closer to Jack with a determined expression. "Who are you, Jack Frost?" He pointed a finger in the middle of Jack's chest with equal determination. "What is your center?"

"My center?" He narrowed his eyes at the man in front of him, unsure of where exactly he was going with this.

"If Man in Moon chose you to be guardian you must have something very special inside you." His eyes shifted to one of the shelves in his office. "Hmm..." He went to grab the doll off the shelf and he started smiling. "Here, this is how you see me no? Very big, intimidating, but if you get to know me a little..." He handed it to Jack who just gave him a small questioning look. "Well, go on."

Jack opened the first layer of the doll and found himself grinning despite everything. "You are downright Jolly?"

"Ha! But not just Jolly!" Jack opened the next layer. "I am also mysterious..." Then, the next. "...and fearless..." Then, the one after that. "...and caring! And at my center..."

Jack opened the last one and dumped the final doll in North's large hand, and found himself slightly confused as he brought a hand to his head rubbing at his brow. "There's a tiny wooden baby."

"Look closer, what do you see?"

"You have big eyes..." He shrugged out.

"YES! Big eyes! Very big! Because they are full of wonder!" Jack couldn't help the joyful look on his face and the thought in his head. 'Wow, he really does represent wonder, and he's actually pretty nice.'

"Jack, did you not think I'm nice?"

"It's not that, North. It's just that...you got to understand, before you had your yetis shove me into the sack and arrived at the pole...all I had to go on about any of you were the stories Sandy told me and personal encounters, and well...that was the first time I met you and Tooth."

"Oh..." North gave a regretful expression. "I am sorry we not meet sooner, Jack."

"It's alright. Nothing you can do about it now."

"You may say that, but that will not change how I feel. We should have been there for you, Jack. You are an immortal child..."

Jack held up a hand with a slight smile. "Like I said, you can't do anything about it now, and hey...we're here together right?"

North's eyes widened at the young guardian before softening with pride. "Right! Shall we see the rest of our journey?"

"Yes, let's continue."

North continued on with wondrous eyes, "...That is my center. It is what I was born with. Eyes that have seen the wonder in everything." Toys made of ice began flying as well as normal toys. 'Wow, this is amazing!' Jack thought to himself as North continued talking as he left the office with Jack following behind. "Eyes that see the lights in the trees and magic in the air. This wonder is what I put into the world! And what I protect in children." Jack looked up to all of the toys flying above him and moving around, and found himself awestruck at the pure wonder of it all. North continued, "It is what makes me a guardian. It is my center. What's yours?"

"I...I don't know..."

Suddenly, Bunny hopped in and they both looked at him with concerned expressions, which only deepened when they saw Tooth fly by the window. "We have a problem, mate. Trouble at the tooth palace."
