Hey everyone guess what this story isn't dead.

…Yeah you all must hate me for making you wait this long for an update especially after the ending I gave you in the last chapter. I've just been busy with school, life, and my other stories, but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that I still updated.

I want to thank all of you that reviewed.

Guardianboy: I'm glad you think so

Mystic Fairy Tame: I'm glad my story captured your interest, and I must say you have a cool name

Anonymous Trainer: Aren't they pretty much the same thing? Well I'm glad you're enjoying my work, and as for your third question. I finished it and I'm now working on the sequel.

FlightFeathers: I'm glad you like the story, hate the fact that you hate Val just because of the music she listens to, I added a few more artists that she listens to in order to give her some more taste. Also, well I forgive you, but there's still a chance Val will make a re-appearance and I'll make sure to leave out the One Direction is she does(question would you like Val if she didn't listen to One Direction?)

Starskulls: Well well well if it isn't the motivation that got me to write this story. Ha-ha, well I'm glad I was able to write this story so well(even if I've only gotten a few chapters out so far). The shipping will be slight, but it will still be there. Whether or not something comes out of it will depend on where this story takes us.

XxSparklePopsxX: Yeah sorry for the long wait, and I just had to do that. And your reaction made it worth it LOL XD. Well I'm doing what you asked, it just took a while.

Well that's all i have for the A.N. so on with the chapter!

-*X*x*X*-

The teen crossed his arms, "Well?" he asked. The Guardians could only stare.

"Crikey," Bunny said and the guardian slightly agreed.

The spirit rolled his eyes knowing that every time he met someone for the first time he got this reaction.

The teen looked to be the same age as Jack and he had a similar build, but looked an inch or two taller. His skin was lightly tanned, but it was barely noticeable. His eyes were green, no they were blue, now indigo, now purple, his eyes were constantly going through the colors of the rainbow in an everlasting pattern. His blonde hair was slightly shaggy and fell above his eyes in the front with it going slightly to the side and down to his neck in the back. He was wearing a dark brown leather jacket over a dark grey V-neck, dark blue jeans and white shoes. On his head was a dark grey fedora and coming out of his back was a set of impressive gold feathered wings

"Yeah I get it I look weird… so what?" he asked.

Jack was the first to speak up, "Sorry, it just wasn't what we were expecting," The teen shrugged it off, "well I think we got off on the wrong foot. Why don't we break the ice a bit," Bunny rolled his eyes, but the teen smiled a bit, "Name's Jack Frost," he said extending hand.

The teen shook it, "Leo Griffon." He said.

"This is North, Sandy, Bunny, and I think you already know Tooth." Jack said introducing the rest.

Leo nodded, "It's been a few centuries, but yeah I know her."

North walked forward, "Leo, you to meet you. Now we need to get back to the pole."

Leo raised an eyebrow, "And why should I go to the pole?" he asked.

"It's kind of important and we can't talk about it here," Tooth said.

Leo crossed his arms again, "And if I don't want to go?"

"Then I'll grab those wings and throw you into one of my tunnels." Bunny growled.

Leo laughed, "You couldn't even if you tried." He said pulling a golden want out of his pocket at the top of the wand was a tear-shaped diamond that changed color just like his eyes did.

"Oh that's it." Bunny growled and leapt at him. The other Guardians tried to hold him back, but they didn't have to when Leo shot a small rainbow colored blast out of his wand that shot Bunny back several feet into some garbage cans.

Leo smirked and twirled his wand a few times before blowing on it as if it were a gun, "I told him he didn't listen," He said, "well it was a pleasurable visit, but I have go." Leo stretched out his wings and with a powerful leap he took off.

"Jack Tooth after him." North said and they took off in their own ways and sped after him.

"Leo!" Tooth shouted as she increased her speed. Leo turned around and his eye briefly changed to light yellow-orange before he turned his head and he blasted the clouds with his wand. The cloud started to crackle before a bolt of lightning shot out of the clouds past him and towards the two Guardians.

"Tooth look out!" Jack said grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the way where the lightning barely missed either of them.

"Thanks Jack," Tooth said before she notice Jack was still holding her hand. Jack noticed too and he quickly let go leaving both of them blushing. They both looked up and saw Leo was nowhere to be found.

"Darn, we lost him." Jack grumbled.

They flew back down to the ground, "He's gone."

There was a rustling as Bunny got out of the garbage cans Leo launched him into, "The next time I see that little bugger I'm gonna- what's so funny?" he asked when he saw everyone was trying to hold back a laugh.

"Oh man I wish I had a camera right now." Jack said. He couldn't hold it in any longer he burst out laughing.

"What seriously what?" he said reaching a paw up to scratch the area behind his ears when he noticed something about his paw. He looked all around his body, his entire body was colored prink pink with the black patters of his fur now colored bright purple. "WHAT THE!" everyone burst out laughing. North laughed so hard he nearly toppled over. Sandy's laugh was inaudible, but it was evident that he was laughing hysterically.

"I must say," a shady voice echoed through, "that was quite a show, and that is a good look for you Bunny." Pitch emerged from the shadows, "I highly doubt he wants to be a Guardian now."

"How do you know about that?" Tooth asked.

Pitch chuckled, "Why else would you be talking to a spirit nobody believes in after ignoring for centuries?" he turned to the Guardian of Fun, "You know this don't you Jack, let me ask you a question. If you weren't chosen to be a Guardian, would these guys even acknowledge your existence?" he asked in his snake-like voice, "And another thing, how many of you knew about Leo before he was chosen? Food for thought."

"Ah shut up and how back to the bed you came from," Bunny growled.

Pitch only chuckled before talking, "Sorry I just can't take you seriously with you looking like that. All you need are some shades and then the Guardians can audition you for a battery commercial." He laughed before backing into the shadows, "Also, since Leo has no interest in being a Guardian. Maybe he'll consider working with me."

"Why would he join a scumbag like you?" Bunny said.

Pitch raised an eyebrow, "Oh, so I'm the villain. I'm the one that knows Leo, I talk to him, I show that he isn't just another spirit. Now let's look at you, the heroes, the Guardians of Childhood. You're the ones that ignore Leo, you're the ones that didn't recognize him, you're the ones that insulted him for not having any believers. Yet you think you can fix all that up by making him a Guardian?" he shook his head, "The meaning of the words 'hero' and 'villain' sure have changed haven't they." He said before vanishing out of sight.

"Shadow-sneaking scumbag," Bunny grumbled.

Tooth looked over at Jack who hadn't said anything yet, "Jack are you alright?" Jack looked down and seemed to be in deep thought.

"Was he right?" he asked, "That if I wasn't meant to be a Guardian I would continue to be ignored?"

"Course not," North said, "He just want to get in head." He said.

"But still, if you look at it the way Pitch said… it really doesn't make us look that good." Jack pointed out.

Sandy floated into the air a sandy image of a cursive capital 'L' over his head, "Sandy's right," North said, "we need to find Leo."

"Yeah I'd like to give him a piece of my mind." Bunny grumbled.

"Bunny, if you keep this grudge up it'll only make things worse," Tooth pointed out, "you heard what Pitch said. We keep this up he'll think we're the enemy."

North nodded, "Tooth has good point, how about you Jack?" there wasn't a response, "Jack? Jack!" they looked around. Jack was nowhere to be found.

Jack was soaring through the sky the wind carrying him just like it always did. He flew up to the clouds and flew right through him. Above the clouds the winter night sky was completely clear with all the stars twinkling in the twilight. The moon was bright and seemed as silent as ever.

A noise sounded in Jack's ears and he turned to see Leo sitting on a floating platform staring at the moon. He was moving his wand making rainbow colored markings in the air. Jack flew closer trying to be as quiet as possible.

"Clearly I'm doing something wrong, I just don't know what." Leo said, Jack realized he was talking to the moon, or rather the Man in the Moon, "All I've done is help create and inspire and yet… everyone I meet just sees right through me. All you gave me was this wand and a name, but what else can I do when you won't tell me what?" Leo sighed, "At least I have my friends."

"Well maybe you can make one more." Jack said making himself known.

Leo turned around ready to blast Jack with his wand, "Oh it's you," he said, "what do you want?"

Jack shrugged, "Just to talk, and to thank you for turning Bunny into a bigger laughing stock that before." Leo smiled.

"What can I say?" he said in a playful tone throwing his wand in the air and catching it behind his back, "The kangaroo really needs to loosen up." Jack laughed.

"Seriously, a pink Easter Bunny covered in garbage, that's just brilliant." Jack said.

"Actually it sounds like Bunny after drinking too much of Old Man North's eggnog." Leo said. There was a silence before they burst out laughing.

"You're probably right." Jack said, "so Leo, how long have you been a spirit?"

Leo thought for a minute his color changing eyes concentrating, "Not sure, I stopped counting the years after the Roman Empire fell." He said as if it was nothing.

Jack's eyes widened, "You've been around since the B.C. times?"

"Yeah," he said with a chuckle, he took his fedora off and scratched his blonde hair, "Now you must think you're talking to a fossil or something close to that." Actually that was exactly what Jack was thinking, the spirit in front of him that looked like he's 17 was actually older than just about everyone he knew, except maybe Val. "Well I'll spare you the awkwardness and take my leave." He stretched his wings and put his fedora back on.

"You know, the Guardian really do want to meet with you." Jack said.

Leo paused, "Tell North I'll be at his Christmas Party, maybe then we can talk." Leo shot his wand at the air in front of him where a rainbow portal appeared.

"What's with all the rainbows?" Jack asked.

Leo laughed, "I've been asking the moon that for centuries." He took off and flew into the portal. Leaving Jack alone, he flew back to where he left the others eager to share what he got from Leo.

-*X*x*X*-

And that's a wrap, I hope this chapter was worth the wait.

Sorry I didn't have more to write, but hopefully this was enough.

Well, be sure to leave a review telling me your opinion on Leo, any ideas you have, or anything else related to that.

Hopefully the next chapter won't have such a long wait.

This is W. R. Winters signing off.
