Hi peoples!
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry about the wait. I've just been working on other fanfictions, and I been obsessing over Big Hero Six, and I've been kind of stuck with this story.
Anyway, you all are amazing. I love you guys.
ON WITH THE SHOW!
Disclaimer: I only own Em. Nothing else. :(
Neutral POV
Em curled up on the couch, her knees pulled into her chest, and her chin resting on top of them, and her arms wrapped tightly around her legs. Jackson looked at her worriedly. Emma touched the older girl's leg gently. Em gave them both a small smile as the next scene unfolded, the three completely oblivious to the green eyes watching them from the other side of the room.
INT. TOY FACTORY - NORTH POLE - DAY
Jack and North ride an elevator, bearing the resemblance of a
Christmas ornament, down to the factory floor.
JACK
It's nothing personal, North. What
you all do, it's just, it's not my
thing.
NORTH
Man in Moon says it is your thing.
We will see!
Em smiled.
"Of course it's his thing." she remarked in a quiet voice. This shocked many people and spirits in the room, because the young girl was normally full of life and was loud. Anna looked at Kristoff worriedly.
"Em, sweetie, are you alright?" she asked her niece.
"I'm fine, Auntie. Don't worry." Em replied in the same quiet voice. Maxine and Jasper got up from their parents' sides and sat at the foot of their cousin, cuddling into her legs. Em pat both of their heads gently. Pitch looked at her, and could sense her fear. He turned to Sandy.
"She's scared for Jack and Elsa. Her and her parents share a connection, and she feels him fading faster. If those children don't believe in him soon, I'm afraid our Emma may be without a father." Pitch said in a low voice to his counterpart. Sandy suddenly smiled, an idea shaping in his head.
North storms through factory floor, Jack trying to keep up.
An amazing place.
JACK
Slow down, wouldja? I've been
trying to bust in here for years, I
want a good look.
NORTH
(peeved - still rushing)
What do you mean, "bust in?"
JACK
Oh, don't worry, I never got past
the yetis.
Jack looks over his shoulder; an angry yeti pounds his fist
into his palm.
YETI
Rwwarrrrrr.
JACK
Oh, hey Phil.
Maxine grinned.
"PHIL!" she screamed, clapping her hands. The Burgess teens looked at the little girl with raised eyebrows.
"How do you know Phil?" Pippa asked. Maxine raised her chin.
"Because my uncle lives at the North Pole." she said simply, and the teens' heads turned to North, who shook his head.
"I am not that girl's uncle." he said. Em snorted.
"And you sure as hell aren't my father." she hissed. This made the teens' even more confused.
NORTH
Keep up, Jack! Keep up!
North charges ahead.
North's factory is bustling with activity: Yeti's are
building toys, moving packages, while Elves are test piloting
the various flying toys.
As Jack walks behind North, surveying the factory, a duck toy
suddenly flies over Jack's head. Jack ducks just in time and
continues after North.
JACK
Whoa!
(BEAT)
I always thought the elves made the
toys.
Anna smiled.
"That would be a death wish. Although, Jack does allow them to help sometimes. That would be like letting Olaf help create the bonfires for Midsummer's Night." she said, giggling slightly. Kristoff laughed. Olaf frowned.
"But I love heat!" he protested.
"But you'll melt if you get close to fire." Cupcake said, and Em glared at her.
"No he won't. My mother made sure of that when she created him." she snapped.
NORTH
(WHISPERS)
We just let them believe that.
Jack looks over to see a group of elves eating Christmas
ornaments and another electrocuting himself with Christmas
lights. North smiles and calls to them.
NORTH
Very nice! Keep up good work!
North continues through the factory floor. He passes a yeti
putting the finishing touches on a blue toy robot.
NORTH
(TO YETI)
I don't like it. Paint it red.
The yeti reacts in dismay as we reveal hundreds of finished
blue robots.
NORTH
Step it up, everybody.
As North and Jack move to the opposite end of the chamber, we
finally glimpse the orchestrated chaos of the entire
workshop, in all its magic and splendor.
INT. NORTH'S OFFICE - A MOMENT LATER
Jack follows North into his office. There are shelves filled
with toys. Sketches and prototypes everywhere.
North dusts his hands and turns to Jack. His sleeves are
rolled. Jack notices that on one of North's forearms is
tattooed the word NAUGHTY, and on the other, NICE. North
grabs a plate from a nearby elf.
NORTH
Fruit cake?
JACK
Ah, no, thanks.
North hurls it - crash! A pause as North looks at Jack.
NORTH
Now we get down to tacks of brass!
JACK
(TO HIMSELF)
Tacks of brass?
As North cracks his knuckles, Jack stands silent. The wind
suddenly slams North's office door behind them. Jack looks
to the door, it locks itself, and he turns back. North moves
in close to Jack, backing him up against the door.
"Idiot. Don't corner him. He'll get defensive." Kristoff said, rolling his eyes. Pitch winced.
"I learned that the hard way." he said, remembering his fights with Jack. Sandy laughed silently at the other Dream Guardian.
NORTH
Who are you, Jack Frost? What is
your center?
North pokes Jack in the chest.
JACK
My center?
Em curled herself tighter into a ball, shut her eyes.
"Fun." she whispered in a tiny voice, trying to stop her tears.
NORTH
If Man in Moon chose you to be a
Guardian, you must have something
very special inside.
North stands up straight and begins to stroke his beard as he
gives Jack a curious look.
NORTH
Hmmmm?
North is standing in front of a shelf of Russian nesting
dolls. One is carved to look like North himself.
NORTH (CONT'D)
Here. This is how you see me, no?
Very big, intimidating. But if you
get to know me a little-
(hands the doll to Jack)
Well, go on.
Jack gives North a curious look, then sets down his staff.
He twists the doll in half, and inside is another carved
North doll, this one is a more typical Santa Claus - red
cheeked and cheery.
The Burgess teens laughed at each doll that was being unveiled.
JACK
You are downright jolly.
NORTH
Ah, but not just jolly...
The dolls get progressively smaller as he twists them open,
all versions of North, but all slightly different.
NORTH (CONT'D)
I am also mysterious.
(twist - smaller doll)
And fearless.
(twist - smaller doll)
And caring. And at my center...
Twist. As North approaches, Jack looks down and drops the
final Russian doll into the palm of North's hand. It's the
size of a jelly bean.
JACK
There's a tiny wooden baby?
Jasper giggled.
"That's just like Uncle Jack." he said, smiling, and hugging Em's leg tighter.
NORTH
Look closer. What do you see?
Jack holds it up to examine it.
JACK
You have big eyes?
NORTH
Yes! Big eyes. Very big. Because
they are full! Of wonder! That is
my center. It is what I was born
with. Eyes that have always seen
the wonder in everything!
North raises his hands, and the toys on the shelves suddenly
spring to life. Jack-in-the-boxes pop, toy trains speed
around the room, soldiers march about, toy planes fly
overhead. An elf gets carried aloft by a balloon.
A flying toy plane glides by and we follow it as it makes its
way around the room. A Christmas tree is ablaze with bright
lights. Two double doors suddenly open as the flying car
enters the factory floor.
Em opened her eyes, and watched the screen, slightly in awe. She had seen that part of the North Pole before, when North was still there, and it had grown more amazing when her father had taken over the Pole, but it was still incredible.
NORTH
Eyes that see lights in the trees,
and magic in the air!
As it crosses the frame, dozens of other toys are now flying
around the massive chamber. It's a truly magical moment.
North now stands outside his office, with Jack at his side.
NORTH
This wonder is what I put into the
world, and what I protect in
children.
(MORE)
NORTH (CONT'D)
It is what makes me a Guardian. It
is my center. What is yours?
JACK
(BEAT)
I don't know.
Jack looks down into his open palm, the wooden baby stares
back at him. North closes Jack's hand. They exchange a look.
Then, something suddenly jets past a window outside. Almost
simultaneously, Bunny and Sandman come running down the
hallway toward North and Jack.
BUNNYMUND
We have a problem, mate! Trouble
at the Tooth Palace.
Em reached around her neck, and pulled out a necklace her parents had given to her on her first birthday with her family. It had three charms. One was a picture of Jack, and on the back, it read "Fun". The next was of Elsa, and it read "Freedom". The middle one was of Em, and on the back, there was the word "Innocence". She clutched it tight as she felt another pang in her chest. Jackson noticed her behavior, and pulled her close to his side protectively. Em leaned on his shoulder as the next scene unfolded, huddling into the embrace of her father's human form.
Please Review!
Again, I love you all. Thank's for putting up with me.
OH MY GOSH FROZEN 2 IS CONFIRMED! Elsa better not have a love interest. JELSA FOREVER!
Well, I'll see you all on the flipside.
Love,
Enchantress
