I'm back! Now, here's a heads up: sometimes I don't get a chance to read requests. So I am doing about eight requested chapters after this one-shot, made by:
-sparklehannah
-Lila Ice
-Yellowmiki98
-mystery640
-a couple of guests.
Enjoy the story!
Wind was super excited! After years of begging, Manny had finally agreed to grant her request. On her birthday each year (a random day Jack picked since she's been around forever and can't quite recall what day it was) Manny would allow her to take on her human form for the ENTIRE DAY! Okay, technically just from sunrise to sunset BUT STILL!
'I can't wait to surprise Jack' Wind thought as she awaited the morning sun to rise from it's slumber. The duo had decided to meet up as soon as the sun shone over Burgess so they could go play without needing to worry about tripping in the dark.
As the rays shone straight through her, as she is transparent, she felt the transformation begin. The familiar yet foreign blue light shrouded her, and when the light faded away, she was human.
Well, kind of.
Her skin would have put Snow White's to shame. Like before, she had grey eyes that shone like silver and a dress that looked like it was made from the sky itself. Like her dear Jack, her hair was spiky and short but unlike Jack, her hair was a pale shade of pink to symbolize the morning sky.
But while she might have been able to pass herself off as just a pretty young woman with dyed hair, she was still immortal. And was still Wind. She could blow herself into the sky, be a gentle breeze or a violent storm, feel cooler than water.
"Wind?"
Wind turned to see Jack, gaping at her. She smiled shyly at him and nodded. His look of disbelief and shock made her hesitant to speak but then the boy she adored smiled and she took that as a sign to explain herself.
"Manny agreed to let me take this form from sunrise to sunset. He's using his powers. He'll only do it on my birthday though," Wind said. Jack laughed before grabbing her hand.
"Let's not waste anymore time, then."
Manny smiled as he watched the young Guardian introduce Wind to his friends in Burgess. He'd always regret not leading Jack to the Guardians sooner, or them to him.
Why he had waited, he wasn't sure. He just felt like it wasn't the right time. But now, he was glad the boy had believers. And glad Wind got to have some too.
Manny knew that the Bennetts would never stop believing. And that if they were to grow old and die, Jack would be devastated. Which meant Wind would be too. And she'd be mad at him. And Manny, well, he would hate that.
That's why he agreed to her request. He'd been storing energy aside just for her...his love.
While it would be quite some time before they were reunited, Manny knew she would always be faithful (not just because he can literally see her every move).
So Manny waited and waited, always making sure she was happy and safe. Because if she wasn't, he would no longer shine. He would be dark and cold, as may believed him to be. Until his Wind was okay.
"Bye!" Wind waved at Jack as he used a snow globe to get to the Pole. The sun would be setting soon, and Jack had a surprise planned for North. A surprise that had to do with the fact that dear Nicholas had forgotten for the past three nights to lock his door. (Read Chapter 52: Cameos! In order to understand this.)
As he left, Wind felt eyes on her. She looked up to see her beloved Moon.
"I love you!"
Wind smiled and blew a kiss as the sun set, reverting her back to her transparent form. But as she went to blow over towards Europe, she heard a voice.
"I love you too."
AN: So this was requested by a guest on November 28th, 2017. I am so sorry for seeing this sooner. Let me know if you have any more ideas. Next chapter will be a request made by Lila Ice on December 10th, 2017.
