Ha-ha XD since the last chapter was kinda rushed I decided I would super focus to fix this chapter, and try and make it long. I feel bad lol.

And for the two reviews, I thank you for them XD. To my unknown quest, I hope ya find this XD, I feel bad if ya don't :3. Also, are you the same guest? Lol XD that'd be cool if yes, but kinda awkward if not (Saphia: everything's awkward with you.… Me: IT IS NOT *cries in corner*). To o0 Sara NekoChan 0o, Tooth isn't oblivious for two reasons. One, being that her and Jack have already dated, so I feel she maybe a little attached still :3 (warning: this will be fun in the future…. Or this chapter XD). Two, I'm working on the "oblivious" thing still -_- lol

So, let's get on with this lovely story ^-^.

Have fun ~

Jack: I am the guardian of fun *smirks*.

Saphia: *walks up behind him and whacks him in the back of the head* vestra adeo stultus, ...

J:*rubs head glaring at her* stop it with the Latin!

Me: GET IN YOUR PLACES!

Disclaimer: I own a unicorn Oc named Waffles (long story -_-) I don't own Rise of the Guardians.

Enjoy ~

Child's Play

Chapter 3

~ picking up with guardians and Saphia ~

Saphia walks up, taking the sword from the ground and leans against the door. She looks around and shakes her heads at the four standing in her doorway. "Nunc quid carmen hoc admonent me de quo est? Hopefully Jack potest canere puella partes…" she giggles and then frowns, pointing the sword at the guardians. Tooth seems very tense at this but her eyes dart quickly back to Jack. Saphia smirks slightly, "Si quattuor his bonis loons non cognovit ego limine in ipso." She giggles again and puts the sword down on the ground. She kicks it behind her and smiles at the confused guardians, "Sic adipem Russian, vivens arena arce, Macropus / platypus guy, et dimidium hummingbird papilio domina non loquuntur Latin? Interesting ..." her smirk broadens and she laughs bitterly.

Bunny looks very aggravated and is about to say something when Tooth interrupts "what are you saying? It's not really 'polite' to say something that can't be understood by anyone but yourself." She then flew up landing only a little bit away from the half girl. She could practically feel Jacks glare (much to her discomfort) at her as she leaned closer to Saphia "It's also not polite to steal people's friends."

To Tooth's surprise, the girl smiled brightly and laughed like she had said a funny joke. But when the girl pulled her down for a somewhat fake hug, whispering in the fairy queen's ear "I didn't steal him, I saved him. And ya know what," Tooth can feel claw like objects in the girls folded hand. They are ruff against her soft feathers, and it takes a lot of patience to not shout about them or growl at the girl, "if you were his friend, you wouldn't have abandoned him when he needed you most." Saphia let go and smiled, looking towards Jack. He gave her a questioning look and she just shook her head. She jerked her thump to point behind her "I have tea on the stove, chicken in the oven, and a salad in the fridge. Feel free to come in, in case you have any questions. Otherwise, leave." She's not harsh or very friendly, just neutral. Jack steps out of the door way heading to the kitchen grumbling. Saphia watches as the guardians slowly walk in. She shuts the door behind them, heading to the kitchen.

~ At the South Pole ~

A red and black cloud appears suddenly inside an ice cave. As it fades away scarlet and Stitches stand there in ninja like outfits, both with their respective colors. Stitches is in a bright yellow with a paintbrush attached to the belt. Scarlet's is a bright red with a tutu like skirt she glares at Stitches, "Why am I some bloody ballerina?!"

Stitches smiles at her and shakes her head. "There's not a drop of blood on you my dear sister." She giggles and pulls off the paintbrush. She turns to the wall and ponders for a moment. "How does pink with yellow dots sound? Maybe green though…."

Scarlet blinks with a slightly scared look. "Green?! That's under Saphia's domain! We aren't supposed to use that too often…" she looks down with a saddened look. "We promised her..."

Stitches pats the ruby red girl on the back "it's okay Scar. She won't catch us without a fight." The child turns back to the wall, tapping the brush against it. The wall immediately becomes pink. Yellow dots cover the wall, different sizes and a few oddly shaped and warped. Stiches smiles and looks at Scarlet "let's go find penguins!"

Scarlet smiles mischievously as she happily shouts "PENGUINS!" they quickly run out of the cave smiling and laughing. They would bring Jack to shame!

~ 15 minutes later. With guardians ~

The four other guardians crowd on a dark blue couch. Jack sits in the corner in a snowflake chair. He glares furiously at his ice-cream he's eating. Saphia smirks sitting in her metallic recliner, sipping tea from her light blue flowered tea cup. She had banished Jack to a corner so he could "chill out". He turned, throwing a glare in her direction. She giggled, blowing a fake kiss at him which he started blushing an almost purple color at. Tooth's feathers ruffled and she cleared her throat. No way was she letting this little brat steal Jack right before her eyes.

Saphia smiles kindly and places the tea down on the table in front of the couch. It has a big bowl of salad, a bowl of colorful M&M's, a teapot, and a giant, crispy cooked chicken on it. She eyes the bowl of assorted bird seed she deliberately in front of a certain fairy. She looks at the guardians with a curious look "would you like something? Maybe some food? Jack always enjoys it! Speaking of Jack," she looks back at the boy in the corner, "you can bring your chair over now Snowy!" she smiles happily as he scoots over next to her.

Sandy smiled and a few images appeared above his head. It seemed somewhat like a rain drop, pitchfork, and doll looking around. Then they walked into a snowflake and the images seemed to jump around on his head. Then a question mark appears and the snowflake and raindrop appear on one side and the pitch fork and doll on another.

Bunny seemed about speak up to explain the pictures, when Saphia quickly interpreted them out loud. "You guys want to know what happened with me and my sisters, our back stories, and why Jack is living with us. Am I right?" she smiles smugly her eyes on the snow cold boy, then drifting to Tooth.

Bunny nods and looks slightly frustrated, "as his friends, I believe we hav' a right, mate. I mean, ya did kinda 'elp the boy disappear." He thinks for a moment then continues, "And change his look. And what exactly is the deal with your 'sisters'? And their problem with us immortals." He finished and folded his arms across his chest.

His tough 'façade' faded when the girl spoken to burst out laughing. After a minute of her laughing fit she stopped still giggling slightly. "hes 'iocari iure? Me hoc putat Bunny nimis plena sibi! Et quomodo audent interrogaverit me about sorores meas, et dorsum fabula! Jack erat rectum circa hoc Macropus!" she giggled a bit more and then smiled kindly "we first ran into Jack after Jamie Bennett's funeral. Jack here needed some support, so we decided to help him through the first week. But I guess, after it just being me and my sisters, having a guy like him around made us loosen up a bit." She smiles and looks at Jack, her face grateful "the guardian of fun showed us exactly what that meant. In a way, he saved us from each other and we saved him from himself. If it hadn't been for him….. I'd probably be leading my sisters right now." She looks down at her hands, which rest in her lap. The long, wavy, dirty blond hair creates a perfect curtain over her face.

Jack leans over and rests a hand on her shoulder. She looks up slightly, her face reddened and upset. He smiles kindly at her, placing a lose strand of hair behind her ear. "It's okay Saphia. I know you miss them….." she smiles brightly and leans over to hug him. A slight sob escapes her lips and she buries her face in his sweatshirt.

After a minute or two she pulled back and rubs her eyes, clearing tracks of tears that streaked her face. She sniffed and sat back in her chair, her eyes red and puffy. They stuck out against her blue and white complexion. She smiled at Jack again, "thanks you, Jack. I needed that," she looks at the other guardians smiling brightly, "I'm sorry; I'm probably not being very polite, I haven't even properly introduced myself." After they assured her it was fine, Sandy having to use picture which almost no one understood, she continued, "My name is Saphia Shine Star. I am a triplet, my sister's names being Scarlet Shimmer Star and Stiches Sparkle Star. We were known as the Sssissstersss. We work with the basic colors, and try to supply them where they are needed. My sisters are currently on strike though, for the fact that no matter how important we are no one can see us. Also due to the fact that no other immortals have ever even talked to us, besides Jack here." She purrs slightly smiling at him; she then quickly got up, "I'm going to go get some fresh tea. Excuse me for a moment. Jack, tell them what is necessary for me, will ya hon." He nods and she picks up the teapot walking into the kitchen.

Jack grinned in her direction and looked at the other guardians. Frost wasn't going to tell anyone, especially not Saphia, but he was actually quite upset that she'd left him with…. them. He waited a moment before continuing, "They aren't bad, I swear to the moon. They've only been immortals for 20 years, so they are still very "young". They are actually all stuck at the age of 15, which I feel kinda bad about. Saphia can speak fluent Latin, and often uses it for her bitter little comments, so no one actually understands what she means. Saphia is usually very sweet, but she's also secretive and sneaky. She's very protective, especially over her friend's good names. I'd hate to be the person who insults her sisters in front of her," he glances directly at Bunny and Tooth. Tooth felt a ping of guilt for having to get looked at. Bunny mentally argued over why Jack had looked at him first.

Tooth sighed and looked down, "But why did you have to leave us? Why did you disappear? We were worried sick about you Jack…" she looked up at him with hoping eyes. He would answer her right? He wasn't going to ignore his friend? Or, was she even his friend anymore... Tooth suddenly snapped out of it and glared slightly towards the kitchen, "and why with these little monsters?! They attacked us immortals!"

Jack glared at her and growled under his breath, "Saphia did NOTHING! And don't you dare call any of them Monsters!" he was growing even more angry by the minute. How dare they just waltz in here and call his friends monsters! "They were there for me when I needed them. Unlike some people! Those girls aren't monsters, they are my saviors! I owe almost everything to them now!" he folds his hands over his chest glaring at the other guardians. They had officially gotten on his last nerve.

"Ay!" Bunnymund shouted at him. "You ain't got no right to talk to any of us like that snowflake! We just wanna know what exactly happened when you disappeared. And what the heck is up with your dang look?" the large rabbit glared back at Jack, who seemed unfazed by his attitude.

Jack stared a little bit, and then answered monotonously, "Shut up Kangaroo," he watched as the rabbit looked about ready to punch him, smirking "and I went into hiding. Saphia helped me change my sweatshirt almost immediately after meeting me. Her and her sisters can just touch something and change it to what they want. That or, they may use a spell to infect one object and have it spread to the others around it. After a year we decided that a blue streak in my hair would not only look awesome, it would be great for the disguise. We were thinking about making my entire head of hair blond, maybe even say I had red "contacts"" He stopped for a second, thinking carefully, "and about the disappearing, it was my decision after the funeral. They just showed up though, wanting to help me start off," he finished carelessly, folding his arms across his chest.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Saphia listened intentionally. She growled under her breath, muttering curses in Latin. How dare they speak to Jack like that, they had absolutely no right! And they wanna talk about her and her sisters?! Say it to her damned face! She grumbled to herself some more and started making the fresh tea. Nearby her a watch started to beep, "that's odd…."

Santa sighed loudly, seeing as they had gotten some information, but not all. He decided to speak up and possibly help the mood, "Jack, we were worried very much about you. We just wanted to know where you had been, and why you had left on such short notice. The other immortals couldn't find you either, and they worried too. Your old friends wanted to know if you were okay. We did not mean to intrude upon you and Saphia."

Jack shook his head, "I was fine with it, really. But when you start insulting Saphia, that's where it goes too far." He keeps his arms folded, face showing almost no emotion. In his head he was probably killing all of them.

Tooth glared at him, "why is she so special! What did she do! She's nothing! It's not like she was even there when you were alone for 300 years!" She stared as Jack's face got all red. He seemed extremely angry.

Jack's nostrils flared as he stood up slowly, "if you had been listening, you would have heard she's only been an immortal for 20 years! How the hell was she supposed to be there for me! It's not like she was around even before then!" he picks up his staff, pointing it at her, "and ya know what Tooth, don't ever say anything about Saphia. You have no right to even look at her!" he growled slightly under his breath.

Just as things were getting extremely intense, Saphia rushed into the room, almost tripping in her hurry. "JACK! They are at the south pole!" she pants heavily and Jack's head whips around to stare at her, "We have to hurry!" She grabs the sword still lying on the ground and tosses it at the wall. It sticks in place on the wall splits, revealing: a sword with sapphire gems on the bottom, handles ends, and middle of the top of the handle and a sapphire blue bow and arrows to match. She picks them up and turns the wall sword, closing the hole. She fumbles to find something in her pockets and pulls out one of her white cloud balls. Raising it above her head she shouts something in Latin "Me tolle Antarctica! Im 'praeparatum rigéscunt!" and the ball flew from her hand, engulfing the entire room in a thick blue fog.

~ Moments later in Antarctica ~

Currently, the place is a wreck. The snow has turned shades of red, orange, and yellow, possibly even a bits of black flecks everywhere. Penguins ran around with odd colors, some of them wearing business suits, some wearing Bermuda shorts, and some looking like skateboarders and roller-skaters. A few polar bears ran around, with orange and yellow snouts, and black backs and white chests and stomachs.

Stiches and Scarlet ran around in the middle of it all. The penguins and bears that followed them looked like ballerinas with ice skates. They made the strangest noises, none of them anywhere close to birds. They girls laughed obnoxiously as they skated and jumped around. Now this was fun. Jack should take lessons from them….. or so they think at least. (XD)

They didn't notice the blue cloud descend from the sky and land on the ground. It expanded and filled a large area. As it began clearing, 6 figures stood in it, still unrecognizable. Stiches and Scarlet were oblivious to it, until a sapphire arrow pierced the air in-between their heads, making a low whistling sound. They gasped and turned to the blue cloud. "Saphia!" Stiches growled out under her breath.

Before them kneeled the blue girl, her bow held in one hand facing them, the other trying to get another arrow from the quiver on her back. She smirked, "Salve, cara sororum," Saphia glared slightly at them, "Audeo vos ad movere!"

~ End, of chapter 3 ~

I really hope you liked this chapter. I have spent days working on it. I tried to fix every mistake, that I knew how to fix XD. I tried really hard to make this chapter longer then the last one, and long in general too lol. Sorry if it's still really short, but I have been working around the clock on three differents stories, one of which isn't RoTG or for this site (XD lol). So I'm actually very much confusing my characters right now. Lol, anyway the next chapter for Only A Color will be up real soon. If you don't know, this is my other RoTG story, feel free to check it out. It's really good, I promise. As I said before though, the summary I have is horrible XD lol. Oh, and being the animal lover I am (hence Saphia and Marina are both part animal and my username is Tigeriffic, Tiger + Terrific), I know polar bears don't live in Antarctica. They are penguins turned into polar bears, hence the coloring!

Oh ya, here are the translations:

Intro: you're so stupid

First paragraph: Now remind me what song this is from? Hopefully Jack can sing girl parts... If these four good loons did not know at my door. So fat a Russian, living sand castle, Kangaroo / platypus guy, and half lady and butterfly/hummingbird do not speak Latin? Interesting...

While laughing at Bunnymund: he's joking, right? Me thinks this Bunny is too full of himself! And how dare he ask me about my sisters, and my back story! Jack was right about this Kangaroo!

When they left the house: Take me to Antarctica! I'm prepared to freeze!

The ending: Hello, dear sisters. I dare you to move!

Yay XD 3,245 words WOOOHOOOO! *fingers throb* oww…..
