Ok so, people I'm going to apologize right now for the really short chapters but like sometimes I just lack inspiration or I forget what I was writing about or trying to accomplish in that chapter or just tell the story that nneeds to be told nothing more nothing less. So anyways I'm sorry.

I don't know how long we stood there, Jack and I, just holding each other. But what I do know was that the moon by then was high in the sky and that Jack was cool and he smelled like freshly fallen snow.

What made us separate was North rushing into the room.

"Come Man in Moon choose new guardian." North's accent was thicker because of his breathlessness.

He ran out of the room and down the hall. Without hesitation Jack grabbed my hand and tugged me along after him, following the path North just took.

We burst into a large room with a globe like father's. Jack joined the other guardians standing around a giant crystal which was rising out of the floor.

Moonbeams coming in through the opening in the roof of the workshop brightened, causing the crystal to glow.

Images began to appear above of a girl.

"I-is that me?!" I said still staring at the images that changed and appeared of me giving children glowing seashells and me taking an oily black darkness to store in an identical seashell that I kept, and more images of me, comforting children in times of fear. The images disappeared along with the bright glow of the moon.

"What does this mean?" I ask looking at them, my restless eyes coming to rest on Jack, who said with a grin.

"Manny chose you to be a guardian, and North...we don't need your theatrics."

"A guardian?! M-me?!" I said in wonder.

"Yea, yea whatever, let's get to the point...do you want to be a guardian or not kid?" Said Bunny.

I thought for a moment, pondering my decision carefully before I said with complete confidence nodding my head.

"Yes, I want to be a guardian."

With that said I took the oath and am now and official part of the guardians. I also found out what the other guardians 'centers' are, Tooth's is memories, Sandy is dreams, North is wonder, Bunny is hope, and Jack is fun. I hope I learn my center soon, the other side of my powers, the good side, I'm going to be the best guardian I can and make my mother where ever she is, proud of me.

I was dragged out of my thoughts by Jack sitting next to me.

"Do you want to help me figure out the other half of my center?" I asked Jack looking up into his sapphire eyes.

"Of course." He said smiling gently. "You give the children seashells and take away their fear in another you keep, right?"

"Yea." I said frowning in concentration.

"But what are you giving them, what does the seashells magic do?" He said running a hand through his snowy hair.

My eyes widen in sudden realization.

"Courage...my center is courage!" I throw my arms around Jack's neck, hugging him tightly while I savor my revelation. I pull back slightly and my grin fades as I realize how close my face is to Jack's.

I don't know who moved first or if we moved at the same time but moments later Jack's lips pressed into mine. We froze like that for a moment, staring into each other's eyes before they fluttered closed and our lips began to move. After a while we grew used to this and Jack's tongue stroked my bottom lips, seeking entrance to my own mouth, which I gave.

Jack's lips and tongue were cool and tasted like chocolate, I sucked on his tongue eagerly, pressing my body closer to his and exploring his mouth with my own. I molded my body to his, trying to get as close yo him as I could. I was beginning to fall for Jack, his smile, the mischievous gleam in his his eyes, those sapphire eyes I could drown in, his laugh, his sarcasm, his everything...

And I wouldn't want it any other way...
