Neutral POV
The Burgess teens whispered amongst themselves as the next scene appeared. Em hugged her cousins closer to her.
EXT. SHANGHAI ROOFTOPS - NIGHT
We transition to the SHANGHAI SKYLINE as North BOOMS up out
of a chimney, dashing along the rooftops.
NORTH
(LAUGHS)
Quickly! Quickly!
North BOOMS down another chimney as Bunnymund races into view
a rooftop away.
BUNNYMUND
Here we go, here we go...
Jack zips into view, calling out to Bunny.
JACK
Hop to it rabbit, I'm five teeth
ahead!
Sandy shook his head fondly as Pitch chuckled.
"Jack." he said, smiling.
BUNNYMUND
Yeah right, look, I'd tell you to
stay outta my way, but really
what's the point - because you
won't be able to keep up anyway.
JACK
Is that a challenge, cottontail?
BUNNYMUND
Oh, you don't wanna race a rabbit,
mate.
Em raised an eyebrow.
"Have you ever seen him fly?" she asked Bunny, who nodded.
"I guess it was a bad idea." he remarked. Em rolled her eyes, but smiled.
As we pan across the rooftops, BOOM! North bursts up out of
a nearby chimney.
NORTH
A race? Is it a race?
North jumps into one chimney, then shoots out of another
across the way.
NORTH (CONT'D)
This is going to be...
North disappears down yet another chimney only to emerge with
a bang out the top of another.
NORTH (CONT'D)
EPIC!
As North leaps out of frame, Tooth darts into view, in
hummingbird overdrive, dazzled by the lights and traffic.
Baby Tooth struggles to keep up.
TOOTH
Four bicuspids over there! An
incisor two blocks east! Is that a
molar? They're EVERYWHERE!
Tooth, overwhelmed, jets off without paying attention and
SUDDENLY -
THOOMP - she smacks into a TOOTHPASTE BILLBOARD.
Jackson, Em, Emma, Jasper, and Maxine all burst out laughing, as the adults on their side stifled their own chuckles. Baby Flake giggled in her own way, curling up on Jackson's shoulder, surprising the young man, but he smiled, nonetheless.
TOOTH
Ow!
Jack jumps up to the billboard to check on her.
JACK
Ah, you okay?
TOOTH
Fine...sorry, it's been a really
long time since I've been out in
the field.
JACK
How long is a long time?
TOOTH
Ah, four hundred forty years...give
or take.
Tooth jerks to attention: suddenly her VIEW ZOOMS IN thru a
LITTLE GIRL'S BEDROOM WINDOW: a tiny GLOW under her pillow
marks a freshly planted TOOTH.
Tooth gasps and her eyes go wide - she FLIES to the window,
excited. Jack reacts, looks to Baby Tooth: it's gonna be a
long night.
JACK
Hmm...
INT. BOY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Jack, cocksure, arrives outside an open window. His smile
suddenly disappears when he sees a RABBIT HOLE open up in the
bedroom floor and Bunny hops out.
EXT. BOY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS
Bunny, now holding the tooth in his paw, turns to Jack and
laughs. Jack, not amused, zaps Bunny with burst of frost
from his staff.
Em giggled again at her father's actions. Anna smiled at her niece, happy that she was alright, even without her parents.
BUNNYMUND (O.S.)
Aaahhh!
EXT. MIDDLE EAST - NIGHT
The Guardians fly over a Middle Eastern city in North's
sleigh as the full moon lights up the night sky.
INT. KID'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
North pulls TWO teeth, one with each hand: TWINS.
NORTH
TWINS
(BEAT)
Yipa!
INT. BOY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Bunny pulls out his hand from under a pillow revealing
SEVERAL TEETH.
BUNNYMUND
Jackpot!
Pull out wider to reveal HOCKEY TROPHIES, POSTERS and
PARAPHERNALIA EVERYWHERE. Bunny grins.
BUNNYMUND
Looks like you're a bit of a
brumby, hey mate.
INT. BOY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
North stands at the side of a boy's bed.
NORTH
(LAUGHS)
Is piece of pie!
He falls into a rabbit hole, finding himself face to face
with Bunny. He growls. SANDMAN enters and takes the boy's
tooth for himself.
"Nice, Sandy." Jackson said, grinning at the small golden man. Sandy grinned back.
BUNNYMUND
Ow!
NORTH
(LOUD WHISPER)
That's my tooth! Sandy! Sandy!
EXT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
Jack parkours between two buildings and into a window.
"Dang. How is he so good at that?" Kristoff asked in awe. Em shrugged.
"That guy's really cool." he remarked to his sister, who nodded.
"Yeah. He's neat." she replied.
INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS
Jack flies in through the window when suddenly, a rabbit hole
appears. As Jack disappears through the rabbit hole, Bunny
appears through an adjacent hole laughing to himself.
INT. BEDROOM NIGHT
Tooth reaches under a pillow and pulls out a Tooth with a
mouse attached to the other end. Baby Tooth tackles the
mouse.
Em and Jackson both laughed.
"Nice one, Baby." Em said, holding her hand out. Baby Flake hit it with her own smaller hand, smiling at the much larger girl. Jackson chuckled at the small fairy.
TOOTH
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take it easy
there, champ! He's one of us!
Part of the European division.
(to the mouse)
Ca va?
The mouse gestures back angrily.
EXT. SKYLINE - NIGHT
North and the Guardians, riding North's sleigh, exit a
wormhole. North laughs as they fly over the city.
INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
Bunny pulls a note from under a pillow instead of a tooth.
BUNNYMUND
Huh?
The note shows an arrow, pointing toward the window. He
looks up to the window: North holds up a tooth as he grins,
then leaps off the ledge laughing.
EXT. ROOFTOP - NIGHT
Bunny lands on a rooftop, holding a tooth in his paw, and
proud of himself. Then, Bunny hears the sound of ice and
FROST-
"Wait for it..." Jasper giggled.
BUNNYMUND
Crikey!
-and disappears from view. Bunny is now sliding down the
side of a roof on a sheet of ice. Jack grabs the tooth from
Bunny's paw as he slides past and holds it high in the air.
JACK
(LAUGHS)
Yes!
"Go Papa!" Em said, grinning.
Jack holds up the tooth, but within moments a hand snatches
it. Jack looks to see Sandy waving `bye-bye' as he flies off
on his Dreamsand cloud.
JACK
No!
EXT. ROOFTOP - NIGHT
North dances across a rooftop and quickly drops into a
chimney to enter a house - we DROP FAST THROUGH THE ROOF AND
CEILING...
INT. HOUSE UNDER ROOFTOP - CONTINUOUS
...to see BUNNY'S PAW as it LIGHTS THE FIREPLACE. Bunny
grins demonically in the firelight.
BUNNYMUND
Haha! Ho, ho, ho!
EXT. PARIS - SKLYLINE - NIGHT
A large burst of fire shoots out the top of a distant
chimney.
NORTH (O.S.)
Ahh!
Emma giggled, joined by the twins and Sophie, surprisingly.
EXT. ROOFTOP - NIGHT
Jack, North, Sandy, and Bunny stand proudly. Each one of
them revealing their own bag filled with teeth to Tooth.
Tooth is overwhelmed by their collective effort.
TOOTH
Wow! You guys collect teeth and
leave gifts as fast as my fairies.
Their eyes widen and Tooth is suddenly panic stricken.
TOOTH (CONT'D)
You guys have been leaving gifts,
right?
The rest of the group turns to each other, sinking their
heads and biting their lips in embarrassment.
"Hah! I most likely guess that they didn't." Jamie said, chuckling.
EXT. LAUNDROMAT - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS
The Guardians stand in line, waiting their turn to put dollar
bills into a coin dispenser.
A SERIES OF CLOSE SHOTS, VERY FAST
- Baby Tooth puts a COIN under a pillow.
- Now Jack puts a coin under a pillow.
- North's hand pulls a Tooth from under a pillow. He
replaces it pair of CANDY CANES and a few COINS.
- Bunny stomps his feet and falls through a rabbit hole to
reveal a pair of Easter Eggs atop a child's bed.
- Sandy walks through a doggy door with a coin in his hand.
In shock, he sees North laughing while arranging Christmas
decorations in the child's bedroom.
"Damn." Kristoff remarked, his eyes wide.
INT. BOY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
A young boy, holding a stuffed animal and a sippy cup to his
mouth, looks out his bedroom window. The Guardians, cast in
moonlight, bound across the adjacent rooftops. The young
boy, dumbfounded, drops his juice.
"Poor kid." Monty said, snickering, along with Caleb and Claude.
EXT. SKYLINE - NIGHT
The Guardians fly across the night sky only to disappear
through a snowglobe portal. Nearby, a Nightmare observes as
the sleigh vanishes. It leaps off the roof, through a drain,
and down into the sewers.
The screen faded to black. A doorway appeared on the farther side of the room.
"Through this doorway, you'll find a hallway with different rooms. Your names will be above them, along with who you are going to be with. Sleep well, everyone." Mother Nature said, and the groups stood up. Em was pulled by her cousins to the front as they walked through the doorway.
I know this chapter's short, but I promise the next one will be longer, and HEY! Two chapters in one day! I feel so accomplished.
Please Review everybody!
Y'All are the best, and I love you guys.
Ciao!
