Jack Frost's POV (earlier today)
We walk in Tori's room. "We need to help her overcome her past." I explain. Sandy nods and makes a greenish/white cloud. "Good," I sit down. "We need to make sure it's not too much for her." Sandy nods and sits on his cloud. Tori tosses in her sleep. A small sigh escapes her lips. I smile, knowing it's working.
~Flashback 4 years old~
A young boy with blue hair and emerald eyes steps off a bus. He's wearing a hoodie with a skeleton print and a green five. He wears a fancy watch on his right wrist. "Darkly's?" he asks, looking around. He sees two small boys. One has blonde hair and bright green eyes. He also wears a matching hood. The second one is wearing a Darkly's School outfit. He has black hair and grey eyes. They look at the blue haired. "Who do you think that is Lloyd?" the black haired asks. "I don't know Brad," he answers. "Let's go see." they walk forward. The blue hair drops his bags and holds out his hand. "I'm Tron Skybird, you?" "I'm Lloyd Garmadon." the blonde answers. "I'm Brad Tutobones." Tron looks them over. He turns to Lloyd. "You are the son of Lord Garmadon and you strive to be like your father. Yet you get the best grades in your class. You are constantly bullied for your good attitude and harmless pranks." Lloyd stares at him. "How'd you d-?" "My dad thought me how when I was a few months old." he turns to Brad. "Your last name says that you are tough. Yet you have a soft spot for those who are less fortunate and nature." Brad nervously glances to the sides. "How'd you know?" "The way you stepped over the flowers instead of on them," Tron answers. "Mind showing me to my room?" Lloyd nods. "You're our new room mate." Tron smiles. "Let's go."
~Flashback 6 years old~
Tron sits up and yawns. Before looking around and noticing that his room mates are gone. "Snap," he exclaims. "I slept in again! And on my birthday of all things!" Lloyd and Brad walk in. "Come on Tron," Lloyd shouts. "It's dodgeball this morning!" The young boy hops out of bed and runs to the gym, his friends running after him. He runs into a red head with glasses. "Hello Tron." he snarls. "Hi Gene," Tron sighs, knowing today wasn't gonna be easy."What ya need to say?" "I wish you a very unhappy birthday." Gene laughs and walks off. "Don't listen to him," Lloyd says, running up next to Tron. "He just wants to rain on your parade." Tron nods and his watch flashes red. "Snap," he shouts. "Lloyd, Brad! Stand back!" The two boys nod and do as told. A black smoke swallows Tron and when it disappears Tron's gone. "I hate it when his lungs act up." Lloyd remarks, walking along. "Ya," Brad agrees. "He always looks so scared, like he's gonna die." "Well," Lloyd sighs. "It could be true. Anytime his heart and lungs act up, his watch has to take him to the hospital." Tron runs up. "Sorry guys," he says. "False alarm." They sigh and keep walking. "Happy birthday!" Brad and Lloyd shout. Tron smiles. "If it wasn't for you guys, my life wouldn't be very happy."
~Flashback 8 years old~
Tron wakes up and runs to the gym. He punches a few punching bags before doing a hand spring onto the bleachers. He smiles as his friends walk in. "Look what I can do!" He jumps from the top of the bleachers. "Tron!" Brad shouts. "What are you doing?!" Lloyd asks. Tron laughs and spins in mid-air, making a green and white tornado. He lands a few feet away from his friends. "How'd you do that?!" Lloyd asks, running to Tron. "I don't know," Tron exclaims. "I fell off the bleachers yesterday and did that!" "Cool!" Brad laughs. Tron's watch flashes and the two boys step back. He disappears again. "I'm gonna stay here." Brad says. "I'll go back to our room." Lloyd says as he runs back to their quarters. A small body is laying in Tron's bed. Lloyd steps forward to see who it is. The body rolls over to show a girl wearing the same clothes as Tron. She has blue hair that falls about five inches past her shoulders. Her red lips have a small smile. "Get out of here!" Lloyd shouts, trying to scare the female from the boy's school. She wakes up. "L-Lloyd!" she stutters. "I don't know who you are, or how you got here," Lloyd shouts. "But that's my friend's bed and this is a boys school!" The girl jumps up and puts Lloyd in a head lock. "That's Tron's move!" Lloyd exclaims. The girl kicks him in the closet. He pounds on the door and it opens within five minutes. Tron is sleeping in bed. Lloyd shakes his head. "I must've been dreaming." he wakes Tron up and they run to class.
~Flashback 9 ½ years old~
Two young boys sit in the back of a classroom. One has bowl shaped blonde hair and bright green eyes. The second one has shaggy blue hair and emerald eyes. They both wear black hoodies with green five's on their left shoulders and skeleton print. The boy with blue hair has a fancy watch on his right wrist. "What do you think our grades are, Lloyd?" The blue haired asks. "I'm not sure, Tron," Lloyd answers. "Nothing bad." Everyone in front of them is goofing off as they sit at attention. "Report cards!" the teacher calls. A red haired boy with glasses sits in front as he gets his report card. "Yes! I got an F minus minus!" the other boys cheer about their bad grades as they get them. The dark haired woman walks forward. "I'm very disappointed in you two," she shouts. "Tron, an A in all subjects?!" he shrugs. "Lloyd's been helping me study." the teacher glares at Lloyd. "Of course, mister Lloyd Garmadon," she snarls. "An A plus plus plus in all subjects?! This is unbearable!" She slams her fist on the desk. "I'm sorry," Lloyd shouts. "I couldn't get the answers wrong!" Tron steps forward. "If ya gonna go ta the Underworld just ta tell on him that a waste o' your time!" The teacher gasps. "How dare you stand up for a good guy!" Tron sighs and grabs Lloyd's wrist, before dragging him out of the room. "Ya need ta get outta here!" "What about you?" Lloyd asks. "Don't worry, our paths 'll cross again. I'll make sure of it." Lloyd nods and runs to a Jamnakai Village. Tron turns and runs to his room. He pulls a stick of dynamite and a match. He lights it and throws it in the classroom, running to the woods. The students and teachers all run as the dynamite explodes and Tron runs to the forest. Two bodies of teachers land near him. He licks his lips and takes his watch off. His appearance changes as his hair falls inches bellow his shoulders. His body changes from strong and sturdy to a small and petty girl's shape. His skin turns to dark blue fur and a demon tail appears. She sighs. "I thought I'd never see my true form again!" She bends down and sinks her enlarged dog teeth into the teachers sides. She takes a big bite. After that she runs to the center of the forest. She runs to a clearing and pulls out chalk. She draws a circle in front of her, a triangle behind her, a square on her left, a diamond on her right, and a big star around them all. She steps in the center and chants, "Hanal siseu u sonne tu!" (translation: Send my life back in place!) A bright green light surrounds her and she goes to her room. She looks in the mirror and screams. A tall man thinwith black hair and green eyes runs in. he wears a blue polo shirt and white jeans. "What's the matter Tori!?" "Dad," she shouts. "Next time warn me when a age change comes with a spell!" Her father laughs. "Get ready for school." The now eleven year old nods and gets dressed into a light green shirt and white shorts. She grabs a green backpack with a white music note and runs out the door. She jumps in the bus. When she reaches school she hears singing. She heads in that direction. She sees a boy and a girl. The boy has black hair and grey eyes. He wears a black shirt and green pants. The girl has strawberry-blonde hair and silver eyes. "Here D.N.!" the girl says, handing him a broken twig. She picks one up. "Thanks Casey!" They start singing, unaware of Tori watching them.
Casey: Been working over time, And getting sick of these crazy games.

Casey: I see you, Like a star in the sky.

Both: Do you see them, Like a star in the sky?!

Casey: See, I don't wanna hide these feelings, Or even try to figure them o-out!
D.N.: Sparks flying all around, Electricity!
Casey: Dance with me, Dance with me!
D.N.: Dance with me!

Tori smiles and claps as the two turn to her, blushing. "W-what are you doing here?!" Casey asks. "Oh," Tori says. "I'm Tori Skywalker! You?" "Casey Mactina.. And this is D.N.!" "What's that stand for." Tori asks, "Nothing!" they both shout. She shrugs. "Good singing! Know anyone else like that?" They nod and Casey whistles. A girl with red hair and grey eyes shows up. She is wearing a blue shirt and white pants. "Yep?" "Hey Hannah," Casey says. "Can you show Tori some singing?" "Sure!"
"Now is the time, Get in line, Don't be afraid tonight!"
Hannah smiles as she finishes her line. "Good job!" Tori exclaims as she claps. "Thanks," Hannah says. "Do you sing?" Tori nods. "Me and my tw-." she gets cut off by tears. "And you're what?" Casey asks. "My twin," Tori whispers. "We used to sing all the time. She was killed in a gang accident when we were like, three. I hardly remember her. Just that we were both great at singing." "Oh," D.N. Says. "Can you sing for us?" "Okay!" Tori sits her pack down and puts one foot forward.
"Just jump up, Kick that whip around and spin! Then we do it again! Ninja, GO! Ninja, GO! And do the Weekend Whip!"
Tori slips on her backpack. "I'm a music fan freak." she explains, pointing to her bag. "We all love it!" D.N. says. They walk to class.
~Flashback 12 ½ years old~
Tori walks to her small group of friends. "Guys, I need to tell you something." The others nod. "Same here." They all walk a small ways into the woods behind their school. "Don't scream." Tori takes off her watch, as she changes to her mutant self the others laugh. "What's so funny?" "We're mutants to!" Casey laughs and unfolds two pinkish wings. D.N. phases his hand through a nearby tree and Hannah lifts her hand, making Tori leave the ground. Tori laughs. "We better get home for band practice." She says, leading the way to her house.
~Flashback 13 years old~
"We got the job!" Tori cheers, running into the garage where her band meets. "Whoa Tori," Hannah laughs. "Clam down! What job!?" "We got the job to play as a band across the U.S. for the summer!" Everyone stands up. "We did?!" D.N. asks, jumping up and down. "Yep!" Tori shouts. "One problem," Casey says, everyone looks at her. "What?" they all ask at the same time. "We still need costumes, names for ourselves so we don't give the slip, and a reason to be gone all summer." They all look at each other, just now noticing that. "We could all say we're visiting different states with our families." D.N. suggests. "And my mom could make us costumes!" Hannah shouts. Everyone looks at Tori. "I can make names," she looks them over. "D.N. you're G.B.U.A." "What does that stand for?" he asks. "Get Back Up Again." "Cool!" "Casey, you can be Candy," she giggles. "And Hannah's Fireheart." "What about you?" Hannah asks. "I'll be Melody." they all nod and go to get their assigned projects.
~Flashback 16 years old~
The Angel With A Shattered Heart crew just finished singing their cover of Still That Girl when a bullet hit the beam above Melody. Their camera man jumps and pushes her out of the way. "Hareled!" she screams, running to his side. The others help to pull the beam off. Hareled coughs as blood spills from his mouth and crushed arms. "Hareled," Melody whispers, kneeling near him and hugging him. "Stay with me big brother." "You know I can't," Hareled whispers back. "Don't get mad. We can't have you destroy another town." He coughs up more blood as Melody stands up and hugs G.B.U.A, not caring about the dried blood in her hair.
~Flashback 18 years old~
"Come on lil bro! Hang on!" Tori cries. D.N., her newly adopted brother, just got in a car accident on the way to Casey's house. "I... I'm sorry sis..." her brother breathes. "Tell... tell Casey that... that I'm sorry for leaving her..." "No D.N.! Don't... don't talk like that," Tori cries, hugging her brother tightly, letting the tears flow freely. "You... you can make it!" "We both know I can't." D.N. whispers. He takes one last breath as Tori sobs at his side. "I'm sorry..." Tori whispers. "But we couldn't let them know... could we...?" she thinks about how she found out that D.N., Casey, and Hannah were mutants like her. D.N. can phase through walls and other things. Casey can fly with two angel wings on her back. Hannah is a telepath. D.N. could have gotten out. But then he would be taken by the Mutant Extermination Association. It was better this way.
~Tori's Room~
Tori sits up in bed and looks around, A familiar voice shouts. "Whoa Tori! Calm down!" She laughs. "You guys don't have to hide from me anymore!" Jack comes from the window, and Sandman floats down from her roof on his cloud. "You guys had to help me, right?" They nod. "You guys just need to stop worrying about me," she says. "I'm almost twenty and will no longer need you guys to watch me." "But Tori," Jack asks. "Who will protect you?" Tinkling bells are heard as Sandy makes a green cloud, the same one he but over Lloyd's head. "Sandy!" Tori roars. Jack laughs. "I think you guys should get to work in other parts of the world." They nod and leave as Tori goes to get dressed for the day.
