I HAD A JOB AND WORKED ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS AND HAD SCHOOL DURING THE WEEK SO I COULD NOT UPDATE FOR TWO MONTHS! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
Jade (aka Reader4ever1, who you guys should follow/favorite as she is new): Shut up and update right now. Or I will glue your hands to your keyboard.
Me: *whimpers* Okay…this was personally requested by Jade, and is a gender-bent AU. It will be of the Guardians after they defeat Pitch, except...you know, opposite gender.
"Did you see the look on her face when the nightmares came after her? Man, Pitch sure is a scaredy cat!" Jackie Frost yelled as she plopped down besides E. Amber Bunny-lynn on the couch.
Nicola St. North, a tall, black haired Russian, nodded in agreement as she down her eggnog, sitting on the couch across from the fireplace. Toothian Fairyman shook his head at the behavior before nudging Sandi, the short blonde, awake.
"Blimey, Frosty. You sure know how to scare a sheila," Bunny smirked. Jackie just shrugged before crossing her arms behind her head.
"What can I say? It's a gift."
"Quite an impressive one, my girl," Nicola stated. Sandi nodded in agreement.
"Hey, all the credit can't go to me. Tooth needs some for knocking a tooth out," Jackie smirked at the feather-covered man, who blushed before smiling shyly.
"I do what can for my fairies. And….my friends."
"Aw, the blokes blushing! Poor fellow, alone with a bunch of sheilas!" Bunny teased as she grabbed a mug of eggnog and started chugging.
*Leave him alone* Sandi signed. The girls all quit their teasing and drank silently.
"So…..what now? I mean, I helped finish Pitch, so do I just go or….?" Jackie trailed off, afraid of the answer, but knowing she'd need to find out eventually, had to ask.
"Of course not! You are one of us now! You are family! Family sticks together, kid. I can feel it!" Nicola stated firmly. Jackie thought it best not to ask where exactly Nicola felt it, so she just left it be.
Family. Jackie hadn't heard those words in reference to herself in a long time. She smiled softly, and as she watched three crazy girls and a semi-crazy guy start talking about their favorite parts of the battle they'd just been a part of, she thought to herself:
'Maybe. Just maybe. This might work.'
AN: Does this make up for not updating?
Jade: No.
Me: Does telling people to follow you because you will start posting stories as soon as the waiting period is up make up for it?
Jade: No.
Me: What more do you want from me?!
Jade: Update Autumn's Orphan and Bunny's Springflower.
Me: But I need, like, 3 or 4 more votes on Bunn-
Jade: UPDATE!
Me: Yes, ma'am.
