Neutral POV
Jack looked back to his daughter and wife, then back to Mother Nature.
"If you can slow this, please do." he said, and Mother Nature nodded. Elsa held Em tightly as he faded, casting one last glance at his family. After he left, Mother Nature turned back to Elsa and Em.
"The process will be slowed. Until then, we should continue the movie." she said, and Elsa nodded. She led her daughter back to their couch, which felt large without Jack. Em put her head on Elsa's shoulder, and Elsa placed a protective arm around her daughter.
"He'll be fine." she whispered, and Em nodded. Before Mother Nature left, she looked over at the two dream guardians, and locked eyes with Pitch.
"Emily." was all he said. Em thought she saw tears in the woman's eyes before she disappeared, and the movie continued.
EXT. ST. PETERSBURG - NIGHT
A hooded figure with a familiar looking staff rests atop a
Post Office box on the opposite end of the street. The man
touches the staff to the ground, sending a streak of frost
across the street.
"Oh no." Kristoff muttered, and Elsa smiled.
"I hope he doesn't get into any trouble." she said, and this made the others laugh.
'Elsa, this is Jack we're talking about." Pitch said, chuckling. Em giggled, and looked over to where the three ex- Guardians were sitting. Bunny looked up at the same time, and their eyes caught each other's. Em stared into the Pooka's eyes, and felt tears in her own, remembering the time she had met him. He had been so kind, and comforting. Em hardened her gaze, and looked away. Bunny sighed, and turned back to the movie.
A RUSSIAN BOY approaches a water fountain, turns the handle
and moves in for a sip. But as he does, the water freezes
magically, and the boy's tongue is stuck to the frozen water.
His friends can't help but laugh.
RUSSIAN BOY
(tongue stuck to frozen
ICE)
Aahhhhh...!
A mail man walks across the street and a PATCH OF ICE
magically appears under his feet. He scrambles, and BOOM! -
lands on his butt. Just behind the man, we see the TRAIL OF
FROST climb up the side of a building. We stay on the frost
as it moves up along a rain pipe, and through the windows we
see...
A boy try to feed his gold fish, but a layer of ice suddenly
forms along the water surface and prevents the fish from
reaching its food. We move along the side of the building...
A writer in his study sits next to stacks of papers. The
window suddenly swings open and a gust of wind sends the
pages flying out the window. We move along the building,
across clothes lines and power lines as they freeze.
We continue to move up, and finally discover the culprit.
Jack Frost makes his way atop a cathedral spire and takes in
the view; the full moon bathes the city in moonlight.
"Only you, Jack." Elsa said fondly, smiling. Emma grinned as well, laughing slightly at her father's antics. Tears sparkled slightly in her blue eyes.
JACK
(AMUSED)
Ah, now that, that was fun.
(BEAT)
Hey wind...
Jack chuckles as he calls the wind. The trees begin to sway
and leaves fly into the air. Jack grabs hold of the spire,
smiling as the wind blows past.
"Wind is awesome!" Em said, grinning. Jamie cocked his head at her.
"Who's Wind? And who's that guy on the screen?" he asked, and Em's smiled fell from her face. She looked away from the teen.
JACK
Take me home!
Jack lets go and the wind carries him into the air and
through the clouds. Night turns to day as Jack flies from
one horizon to the other.
JACK
Woooooohoooooooooo!
EXT. BURGESS - DAY
Jack falls through the clouds, smiling, toward the town of
Burgess.
JACK
SNOOOOOWWWW DAAAAYYYYYY!
Jack continues on down and zooms through the streets.
Pedestrians clench their jackets and reach for their hats as
gusts of wind, snow, and streaks of frost are left in Jack's
wake.
EXT. FROZEN POND
Jack flies in, and with the wind behind him skates across an
all too familiar pond. As the wind zips across the pond it
knocks a BOOK out of the hands of a little boy walking alone,
this is JAMIE.
JAMIE
Whoa, whoa.
Jamie goes to pick up the book and we get a glimpse of the
cover - "THEY'RE OUT THERE! - MYSTERIES, MYTHICAL CREATURES
AND THE UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA." Jack flies into frame and
lands beside Jamie.
JACK
Huh, that looks interesting. Good
book?
"Like he would be able to answer." Elsa said, crossing her arms.
Suddenly twins CLAUDE and CALEB, come barreling past them,
rough-housing and laughing as they slam each other into
drifts (all the boys are 8).
CLAUDE AND CALEB
Alright! Yeah! Waahoo! Snooow
daaaay!
Jack calls after the boys...
JACK
You're welcome!
JAMIE
(goes running after them)
Hey guys, wait up! Are you guys
coming to the egg hunt Sunday?
Bunny perked up, and grinned at the teenagers sitting on the floor. They smiled back. Em crossed her arms, and looked down. Elsa put her are around her daughter tightly. Em had told her and Jack about the months before Jack had found her, and her first friend.
CALEB
Yeah, free candy!
CLAUDE
I hope we can find the eggs with
all this snow!
Em grinned. Only her father would do that on Easter.
Caleb stuffs a handful of snow down his brother's Jacket
EXT. JAMIE'S BACKYARD - DAY
The kids arrive at the fence of Jamie's house. Jamie opens
up a secret plank, and heads into his yard. Claude and Caleb
are still messing with each other. Meanwhile, Jack walks
unseen along the top of the fence.
CALEB
(WALLA)
Stop!
CLAUDE
(WALLA)
No, you stop!
JAMIE
Whoa, it says here that they found
Big Foot hair samples and DNA, in
Michigan. That's like, super
close!
CLAUDE
Here we go again.
Jamie arrives at his front gate, sled in hand while SOPHIE
(Jamie's 2-year-old sister in fairy wings) sits down on their
Greyhound as it lies in the yard.
"Awwwwwww." Tooth cooed, and Sophie blushed. Jamie let tout a short laugh.
"Hey! You look like Emma, Soph!" he said, an his friends nodded. Jackson held his sister closer to him.
"Don't compare my sister to yours." he said crossly. He still wouldn't forgive the kids who had done that to one of his newest friends. Em grinned at him, and Elsa sent him a small smile. Jamie crossed his arms.
JAMIE
You saw the video too Claude, he's
out there!
CALEB
That's what you said about aliens.
"There is nothing wrong with belief." North said, chuckling slightly. Claude and Caleb smiled sheepishly.
"Yeah. Sorry about that, Jamie." they said, and Jamie laughed at his friends.
"It's fine, guys. I got you to believe eventually." he said, and they nodded.
CLAUDE
And the Easter Bunny.
JAMIE
(grabs his sled)
Wow, the Easter Bunny is real!
Bunny sent a grin in the direction of the Bennet siblings, who gladly returned it. Em looked away, tears in her eyes. Elsa glared at the spirit of Spring.
JACK
Oh he's real alright. Real
annoying, real grumpy, and really
full of himself.
The room went silent. A loud laugh came from the the Frost's couch. Em was holding her side, and was nearly falling off the couch, because she was laughing so hard. Elsa attempted to stop her, but failed miserably, because she was trying to conceal her own smile.
"Dad described him perfectly!" Em said, smiling. However, inside, the daughter of Ice was crying. Her father could be dead, and the one friend she had made when she had gotten her powers had tried to destroy her family.
Jack hops off the fence and walks amongst the kids, peering
over their shoulders as they play in the yard.
CLAUDE
(LAUGHING)
Come on, you guys believe anything.
SOPHIE
(GIGGLES)
EASTER BUNNY! HOP-HOP-HOP!
(FALLS OVER)
Ow!
Sophie begins to cry.
JAMIE
Mom! Sophie fell again!
"Jamie! Show some concern for your sister!" Pippa said, frowning. Jamie rubbed the back of his neck.
"Yeah. Sorry about that, Soph." he told his sister, who laughed.
"It's okay, Jamie. I know you didn't mean it." she said. Jackson glared across the room.
"How can you be so mean to your sister?" he asked Jamie, who looked across the room.
"Why do you care?" he asked, and Jackson tightened his hold on Emma.
"I would do anything for my little sister. Even die for her. Would you do the same?" he asked, and Jamie looked away. Em smiled at her father's human self, and she blew a kiss to Emma, who giggled.
JAMIE'S MOM comes outside. Caleb, alongside his brother,
stands at the front gate and calls out to Jamie.
JAMIE'S MOM
You okay, Soph?
CLAUDE
Are we sledding or what?
JAMIE'S MOM
Jamie, hat? We don't want Jack
Frost nipping at your nose.
"Ugh. I hate that saying." Emma said, scrunching her face up. Em giggled.
"Me too, Emma." she replied, smiling at the younger girl.
Jamie's mom plunks the hat on his head, tweaks his nose.
JAMIE
Who's Jack Frost?
JAMIE'S MOM
No one, honey. It's just an
expression.
JACK
(smile drops - offended)
Hey.
"Oh no. Jack isn't going to like that."Elsa said, and Em nodded sadly.
"I hate it when people say that Papa doesn't exist." she said.
Jack jumps down from the fence as the boys head off.
JACK
(MIFFED)
Who's Jack Frost?
Jack reaches down and grabs a hand full of snow from off the
ground. With his palm open, Jack uses his magic to form the
perfect snowball.
He then puckers his lips, and blows onto it with his icy
breath. The snowball turns a light shade of blue. There's
something going on here.
"Yes! Those are the best!" Maxine cheered. Jasper nodded, and Em laughed.
"This'll be good." she said.
EXT. SNOWY HILL
WHOOSH! - the snowball goes flying through the air and -
BOOF! - the snowball hits Jamie smack in the back of the
head. Jamie looks up, peeved, and turns.
Then we watch as his face changes...a mischievous sparkle
comes into his eyes. A big smile. Make no mistake,
something magical has just happened.
"GO Papa!" Em shouted at the top of her lungs, startling many of the people in the room. Elsa laughed at her daughter's joyful expression.
"What kind of snowballs are those?" Jackson asked, awed. Em grinned.
"The best kind! They show a child the innocence and fun in the world." she said, and Emma's mouth opened in surprise.
"Can we see them?" she asked, and Em nodded.
"Maybe after this scene." she said, and Emma giggled in anticipation.
JAMIE
(LAUGHING)
Okay, who threw that?
Jack flies in and lands amongst the group of kids.
JACK
Well, wasn't bigfoot kiddo.
Jamie scans the horizon for the culprit. His eyes land on a
couple kids making snow barricades.
MONTY (oddball with big glasses) with his back turned
suddenly gets a snowball to the back of the head, knocking
him face first into the ground.
MONTY
Ow!
PIPPA (brainy, pigtails, pink hat) steps forward and - BOOF!
A magical snowball from Jack hits her, knocking her back.
Pippa's face changes - a mischievous sparkle.
"Wait for it..." Anna said, holding up a finger.
PIPPA
Jamie Bennett! No fair!
JAMIE
(LAUGHS)
You struck first!
CLAUDE
Oh!
Suddenly we see Caleb struck in the side of the head with one
of Jack's snowballs; Claude can't help but laugh.
JACK
Free for all!
And just like that we find ourselves in a take-no-prisoners
snowball fight, the kids pummeling each other mercilessly.
"YESSSS!" Em yelled again, happily. Elsa laughed.
"You are very excited for this scene, aren't you?" she asked her daughter, who nodded enthusiastically.
"Duh! This is what Papa does best!" Em said.
JACK
Alright, who needs ammo?
Jack supplies the kids with more snowballs. The kids are
loving this.
JACK
(WALLA)
Look at that.
The mayhem continues as Jamie, using his sled as a shield, is
knocked backward into a snowman, crushing it underneath him.
A snowball flies overhead and hits CUPCAKE, a tough third
grader as wide as she is tall, in the back of the head.
Dread sets in amongst the other kids, Cupcake squints -
gunslinger eyes.
"Uh oh." Jasper whispered to his sister.
"Definitely uh oh." Maxine replied.
CUPCAKE
Grrrrrrrrrrrr...
PIPPA
Crud, I hit Cupcake.
MONTY
She hit Cupcake.
CLAUDE
You hit Cupcake?
"It was you!" Jamie said, pointing to Pippa, who held her hands up in defense.
"I have no recollection of throwing that snowball." she said.
"We just saw that you did!" Claude and Caleb said in unison. Sophie laughed at her brother and friends.
Jamie is flat on his back, terrified. He looks up to see
Cupcake standing over him. Then, BOOF! Jack hits Cupcake
with a magical snowball. The kids gasp in horror.
CLAUDE
Oh!
CALEB
Did you throw that?
MONTY
No.
PIPPA
Wasn't me.
A moment, and then Cupcake starts laughing as Jack's magic
takes hold.
Cupcake chases the kids down the hill, holding the head of
her snowman in her hands. Jack, all the while, runs along
side taking pleasure in the excitement.
"Good job, Jack." Elsa whispered, and Em smiled at her mother.
"He gave a lonely girl friends. He really is the perfect Guardian, isn't he Mama?" Em asked, and Elsa kissed her daughter's head.
"Absolutely, my little snowflake." she said.
JAMIE
(WALLA)
Hey, come on. Stop!
CLAUDE
(WALLA)
You can't catch me.
JACK
Ooh, little slippery!
Jack jumps ahead, blasting a sheet of ice behind him. The
kids fall to the ground, except for Jamie, who lands on his
sled, and slides head first down the sheet of ice into town.
JAMIE
Whooaaooah!
KIDS
(WALLA)
Whoaaa. Jamie, watch out! Stop!
JAMIE
(WALLA)
Aha, whoa!
KIDS
(WALLA)
Jamie! Turn, turn! That's the
street! What are you doing? Stop!
There's traffic!
"I love sledding with Uncle Jack!" Jasper said.
"It's the best!" his sister agreed. Em sighed.
"That's because he's kind of the Winter Spirit, guys." she said, and her cousins stuck their tongues out at her.
Jamie suddenly shoots out between the trees and careens past
a set of parked cars.
Jack's path of ice covers the street. As Jamie turns, his
speed only escalates, sending him directly into traffic.
Jamie barely misses a moving truck, spinning it out of
control, sending furniture out the back, and causing a four
car pile up.
JAMIE
Whoa!
JACK
Whoa, don't worry kid, I gotcha.
Jamie looks back, then quickly ahead as terror comes into his
eyes. Jack can't help but smile.
JACK
Hold on. It's gonna be alright.
JAMIE
Ahhhh. No, no, no, no...
"This was the best!" Jamie exclaimed, remembering when he had the freak sledding incident. There was something that was missing from that experience. He couldn't place it, but it felt like there was someone important who wasn't there.
JACK
Keep up with me kid! Take a left.
Jamie rockets through a pedestrian intersection, narrowly
missing those in the crosswalk.
DOG WALKER (O.S.)
Hey, slow down!
JAMIE
Whoa, no, no, no, no...
Jack flies over to the far side of the street, sending the
streak of ice and Jamie up onto the sidewalk.
JACK
Yeah!
PEDESTRIAN #1 (O.S.)
Is that Jamie Bennett?
"No! It's Jack Frost!" Monty said, and his friends laughed. Em scowled, and felt tears in her eyes, the happiness in her disappearing.
JAMIE
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
PEDESTRIAN #2 (O.S.)
Hey! Watch it!
JACK
There you go!
JAMIE
No! No!
PEDESTRIAN #3 (O.S.)
Look at that dude!
Jamie flies off the sidewalk and back into the middle of the
street, almost knocking over a postman. As Jack flies by
Jamie's side he sees the look of excitement come into Jamie's
face. Jack smiles, knowing he's responsible.
Jack sees an oncoming snowplow and quickly jumps ahead,
carried by the wind, to divert the ice trail.
"Oh my gosh, Jack." Elsa said, shaking her head good-naturedly.
JACK
Whoa.
Jamie's sled suddenly turns, narrowly missing the oncoming
truck and barrels toward Jack's newly formed ice ramp...
JAMIE
AAAAHHHHHHHH!
Jamie closes his eyes as the ramp launches Jamie over the
street, high into the air, and toward the statue of Thaddeus
Burgess, colonial settler - 1680. Jamie's friends stand in
awe, mouths wide open, as he sails through the air.
Jamie opens his eyes and the look of fear suddenly turns to
joy. Jack looks on smiling.
Jamie lands safely in a large mound of snow. Jack jumps onto
the Statue of Thaddeus Burgess.
PIPPA (O.S.)
Oh my gosh!
JACK
Yeah!
Jamie's friends all come running to Jamie's aide, scared.
But Jamie gets up.
KIDS
(WALLA)
Wow, that looks serious! Jamie!
Jamie, are you alright? Is he
okay?
JAMIE
Whoaaa! Did you guys see that? It
was amazing! I slid - I did a jump
and I slid under a car -ERF!
"Whoops." Em snickered. Jamie looked over at her, not knowing whether he should be offended or not.
"I have a quick question. You keep talking about your father, and there really isn't anyone here who could be him. Who is your dad?" Pippa asked, and Em took a deep breath.
"My papa is Jack Frost." she said simply, and the Burgess kids were silent for a moment before bursting out laughing.
"You're really funny." Sophie said, giggling madly. Em glared at them icily.
"You don't believe me?" she asked coolly. Cupcake looked at her, tears of mirth in her eyes.
"Of course not! Jack Frost doesn't even exist." she said, and this time, when they said it, Em felt a pang in her heart. Elsa gasped.
"He's not doing good, is he?" Em asked her mother, ignoring the laughing teens. Elsa shook her head, and wrapped her arms around Em, holding her tightly. Jackson noticed their pain, and sent a harsh glare down at the teens who were still laughing.
"You know that you can be quiet now, right?" he asked, and Jamie looked at him.
"Why? Their story is really funny." he said, grinning. Emma crossed her arms.
"Not really!" she said angrily.
"What? Are you saying that you believe them?" Sophie asked. Emma nodded.
"Of course. I highly doubt that this family would lie about their father and husband." she said proudly. Jackson gaped at his sister.
"Dang, Emmy. When did you age twenty years?" he asked, and Emma laughed and leaned back into her brother's embrace. Em sent a grateful look at the siblings.
A sofa from the moving van suddenly knocks Jamie down...
JACK
Whoops.
KIDS
(CRINGING)
Ooooh!
There's a moment of silence as the kids wait to see if Jamie
is okay. Then, Jamie rises up from behind the sofa grinning,
a new gap in his smile. He holds up a tooth.
JAMIE
Cool! A Tooth!
KIDS
(WALLA)
Dude, that means cash! Tooth Fairy
cash! I love the Tooth Fairy!
"Ewww! Who flies around collecting bloody teeth?" Jasper asked his mother, who laughed quietly into her hand. Elsa smiled at her nephew.
"Apparently she does, Jaz." she replied. Tooth huffed in indignation.
JACK
(his fun cut short)
Oh, no...
KIDS
(WALLA)
That's totally awesome. You lucky
bug! Lucky!
JACK
No!
JAMIE
I gotta put this under my pillow!
KIDS
(WALLA)
I wish I lost my tooth.
JACK
Ah, wait a minute! Come on, hold
on, hold on! What about all that
fun we just had? That wasn't the
Tooth Fairy, that was me!
"Oh no." Em said, slightly knowing what was going to happen. Elsa tightened her hold on her daughter.
KIDS
(WALLA)
I lost two teeth in one day once -
remember that?! What are you gonna
spend your money on? What are you
gonna buy? How much do you think
she's going to leave?
As Jack looks down from the statue his frustration grows.
Storm clouds overhead rumble and darken. Flurries of snow
begin to intensify.
"Dramatic much?" Kristoff said, attempting to lighten the mood. It worked a bit, earning a chuckle from Elsa. Em, however, remained silent.
KIDS
(WALLA)
Let's go...I'm cooold! My ears are
freezing. I can't feel my toes.
Ah, it's hot cocoa time.
Jack jumps down from the statue, trying to engage the kids.
But it's too late, the kids take off. Jack blocks Jamie's
way as the boy comes running at him.
Em hid her face in Elsa's side, tears beginning to fill her eyes. Elsa stroked her hair softly.
JACK
What's a guy gotta do to get a
little attention around here!
WHOOOSH! Jamie runs through Jack, as if he were a ghost.
Jack is left momentarily shaken, then...
CUPCAKE
(walla; mocking her
FRIENDS)
"Oh, I'm cold, I'm cold, I'm co-
old."
KIDS (O.S.)
(WALLA)
Somebody take a picture. Hey,
stop! That was really awesome.
They're gone. Jack is alone again. His temper subsides.
He whips up a little wind and disappears.
Em's shoulders shook with sobs as the scene ended. Elsa gently rocked her daughter back and forth, whispering soothing words to her. Anna stood up, and placed a hand on her niece's shoulder, and one arm around her sister. Kristoff and the twins sat on the ground in front of the remainders of the Frost family. Sandy and Pitch stood on the end of each side of the couch.
"What's wrong with her?" Sophie whispered to her brother. She was overheard by Elsa, who looked over to the siblings.
"Her father may be dying because of a few people he used to be close to." she said softly.
"How can someone who doesn't exist die?" Pippa asked, and Em whirled her head around to meet the eyes of the teens on the ground.
"He exists, and he's dying because of you jerks!" she yelled, and ran out of the room, sobbing. Jackson stood up, to some people's surprise, and went after her, followed by Emma and Elsa.
"See what you have done? You have broken a child, and you have broken a family apart." Pitch said, turning to the Ex- Guardians, who had the decency to look sheepish.
So sorry for the wait! I hope you all had a fun Thanksgiving, and you had fun with your families.
See you later,
Enchantress
