"Jackson Overland, your a big brother."
Authors note: in these oneshots I'm changing the names, such as Jackson overland in stead of Jackson overland frost, I think the frost would be seperate, anyway enjoy the very long oneshot
I don't own rise of the guardians, and I hope you enjoy
"listen John...I know you have enough on your plate but he's your son. if you don't do somthing, then we will! the boy has no dicipline at all and if he does anything like this again-"
my father held a hand up silencing the farmer. my dad looked stern and the farmer he didn't look happy, I was sitting on the stairs watching biting my lip I didn't mean to scare the horses on old man jeffrey's farm, it was funny at the time the old man thought not,
"he's just a boy, he doesn't know that what he did was BAD" my dad said that louder and I shrunk further he knew I was listening but it wasn't my fault! I was bored and the old man was ignoring me! I only wanted to play with the horses
"I swear John, keep that boy under control." and old man jeffery left, I dighed with relief. that guy nerved me somtimes
"Jackson." my dad said calmly I sat up straight I'm done for! I trudged down the stairs slowly drawing the moment out Dad turned and gave me a look, it didnt look angry nor pleased I froze slightly shaking,
"y-yes?" I asked hopefully he'll let me off but I doubt it. dad kneeled on one leg face to face with me
"Jack? what happened with those horses?" he asked I gulped "I...they looked lonely! I only wanted to play with them!" my dad sighed "Jack...your six years old jeffereson wasn't happy if I hear anything like this again I'll have no choice but to..." he stopped looking at me, I felt , like a kicked puppy John relaxed a bit smiling softly, he couldn't stay mad forever I always made him and mum laugh.
"Jack, I don't want to punish you but there are times when the things you do are a bit...too much." I frowned "like what?" dad sighed
"imagine. if those horses escaped somone could of got hurt...now promise me you won't do anything like this again." I nodded quickly "I promise." and I meant it...at the moment John laughed and ruffled my spikey wild hair "now you can go out," 'freedom!' excitment bubbled within me I wanted to run out that door right now but I stopped "can you play with me dad?" I asked being hopeful but his smile faded as did mine no? he won't I should of thought of it
"I'm sorry, the hunting isn't going as planned-"
"I know...we can play later," I forced a smile and ran out the door and dad watched after me and sighed
I avoided jeferson farm and went right to my lake...well it wasn't mine but I found it along with a nifty looking staff hooked at the top it was too big for me I couldn't carry it around but I kept it around. I sat at the edge of the lake I came here to not be a 'nuisance' old man said I was I pulled pranks on everybody daily and everyone saw me as a bad influence they just didn't have a sense of humor...I was bored though there was nothing much to do but learn how to read. some people can't but my mum was a imagrant and knew a few things here and there such as how to read and write, I looked at my relection in the lake, I looked like my mum sort off I had her coloured hair and her eyes but I looked like my dad. thats what everyone said but I couldn't see it. I stood up and walked back to the village, everyone saw me and looked away paying me now mind, I bumped into someone but I didn't apologise
he should watch where he's going not me then I saw everyone's looks little glimpses gone as soon as they came, I knew what they thought a troublemaker with way too much free time, they didn't like me that all I knew.
most of the villagers here were adults there were some kids but they were old enough to go hunting with their dads or the girls would be sewing and looking after the young I don't like adults nothing against them its just I can't relax around them or play like the other kids...well if there were any other kids around. I was alone. I didn't have anyone and when the villages actually see me its with some sort of scorn, I came back home and sat on my bed and stared back at the moon. my mom told me there was a man in the moon and he protected us by shining light in the dark "please," I said outloud I didn't know what it could accomplish but I hoped
"all Im asking for is a friend."
North sat at his desk, looking at list he he scratched his beard and ticked a few names until he came to one
"Jackson overland?" he asked he hated children like this well not children but they group they were in neither bad nor good
North saw Jackson was a trouble maker a prankster at best but North saw the boy was just lonely and wanted the attention even if it was bad attention it was enough to be noticed so north did what he always did half a tick, the boy would only get half presants and coal.
Jack ran through the crowds and everyone cried out and moved out the way everyone was staring after him, Jack had two sticks on his head for antlers he laughed happily at the bewildered looks he was getting he grunted at old man jefferson and laughed when the old man held his pitch fork "Jack overland! you rotten trouble maker," Jack 'accidently' opened the chicken hen, all the chicks ran loose Jefferson dropped his pitch frok and cried out trying to catch them all jack burst out laughing clutching his stomach, old man looked so riduculas until there was a cough behind him jack froze and turned around to see his dad with a raised eyebrow
Jack gave a nervous laugh
"aha...um hello dad..." he bit his lip john grabbed Jack by the scruff of his neck
"my apologies jefferson." he said and jefferson glared then scoffed at jack
"give himan extra beating from me john." john only turned "I plan too."
Jacks eyes widened when he was pushed forward towards his home 'beating!?' his dad never beated him before Jack was shaking what he did wasn't that bad was it? no one got hurt Jack was shoved through the door and Jack fell back
"look father! I'm sorry I..." his dad turned and smirked the same smirk jack always had when it meant trouble Jack smilied too
"seen on the look on jeffersons face?" he asked and both he and jack burst out laughing
"did you tell him yet?" his wife asked stepping in jack's laughter died down
"told me what?" he asked his dad turned to his wife
"I was going to until he broke his promise," he gave jack a stern look and winced he was n trouble probably grounded for a month no maybe a year
"tell me what?" jack asked changing the subject his dad sat down and gestured for jack to do the same, he warily sat down suspicious he saw his dad hold his moms hand smiling they both looked so happy right now jack smilied uncertainly looking back and forth
"Jack...I'm pregnant." his mom said and Jack froze he blinked rapidly "what now?" his dad laughed
"yep, your going to be a big brother." Jack just stared and his dad was worried if he took this wrong until jack jumped up suddnely and hugged them both laughing john let out a breath he didn't know he was holding
"your not upset?" his dad asked jack frowned
"why would I be upset? I'm going to be a big brother!"
The next day Jack woke up smiling, 'I'm going to a big brother...' He felt a little nervous but happy at the same time then he frowned and ran down stairs his mother smilied
"whats with you?" she asked jack sat down
"mom...is it a boy? or a girl?" he asked and his mother blinked then laughed
"Jack I don't know myself. we'll have to wait till there born." she said and set down his breakfast Jack smilied
"I hope its a girl." he said and his mother frowned
"a girl? why ?" jack grinned "I don't know girls are more fun," this earned another laugh
Jack finished his breakfast and ran throught the village swiftly ducking a dodging the crowd
"scuse me! move it! coming through!" he heard crys and curses as he ran past he smirked just how he liked it. and he appeare don old man jeffersons farm he stepped onto a hut jefferson had his back to him, Jack smirked and cupped his hands around his mouth
"HEY OLD MAN!" jefferson jumped twelve feet in the air with a cry, and jack laughed and jefferson glared at him earning more fits of laughter
"what do you want overland?" he asked returning to his work "guess what?" jack said and jefferson sighed
"what?" Jack smirked "I'm going to be a big brother," Jefferson scoffed "you? a big brother? that funny jack now can you please go away?" Jack frowned
"really, I am going to be a big brother, mum told me." jefferson turned smiling
"Jack I can't see you as a big brother, your nothing but a trouble maker." Jack glared
"no I'm not."
jefferson continued "your not exactly big brother material, you probably be a terrible guardian for the infant." Jack didn't understand what jefferson said but he felt angry and stood up fists clenched
"just you wait old man!" jefferson twitched at the name "I'm going to be the best big brother ever! you wait!"
Jack sat in his room it was a horrible autmosphere he barely saw his dad flitting back and forth between rooms and his mother's crys filled the night
"that's it, push!" a neigbor said Jack looked at man in moon he was worried. some villagers say some mothers don't make it or somthing happens to the kid, Jack clenched his fists no nothing happened to him when he was born it would be the same but he still looked at man in moon
"please...help her for me." he said talking to him, he wasn't sure if it was a trick of the light but the moon shone brighter and his mothers crys died down. somthing else was replaced a baby's crys Jack froze nervous and excitment filling his chest, his bedroom door opened and jack turned eye's wide it was his dad smiling at him, his dad looked drained and tired but happy
"Jack...would you like to see your baby sister?"
jack ran through the crowds he was 11 now and had his five year old sister on his bag, she giggled as jack ran and leapt into the air
"excuse me, ma'm, thank you, coming through!" Jack yelled and dodged and dipped over the crowd they smilied when jack passed they all noticed he changed he wasn't the rude trouble maker, sure he pulled pranks but that was only to see his baby sis smile and the villagers didn't like his pranks anymore than before but they didn't hold grudges somtimes they laughed along with him Jack smirked the hit someone the man fell over and Jack stopped, turning to the man Jack eyes widened, he put his sister down and helped the man up only to see it was old man jefferson
"overland," he growled Jack winced "I'm sorry old man, you okay?" jefferson blinked at the question only to nod "I'm fine, where you going somewhere?" he said brushing dirt of his clothes Jack nodded holding pippa's hand
"yeah taking pip to the lake,
planning on drowning her," he whispered the last part but pip heard
"what! Jack I can't swim!" Jack laughed and ruffled her hair "no, I wouldn't dream of it," he picked her up again for a piggy back and took a step back
"anyway sorry about that," He took another step and smilied at old man then ran off again jefferson crossed his arms
"rotten trouble maker," but he didn't mean it he heard some woman talk behind him
"he's a changed lad,"
"she must be an angel,"
"I've never seen him so polite before." jefferson smirked
"best big brother...huh." and he walked back to his pig pen to see all the pigs dressed in clothes, he clenched his fists
"OVERLAND!" he screamed
North picked up his list again skiming and ticking as he went he saw jackson overland and ticked it happy that the boy was being nice for once then saw pippa overland he frowned ticking her name too, north noticed ever since pippa was born jack was becoming more nice every year...well the occasional pranks here and there north chuckled as he rembered one time two old ladies were doused with freezing water and jack laughing poor old crones.
Jack looked at pippa sadly, she was upset. there dad was barely there anymore he was always on hunts now and when he is at home he was like a stranger only mom joked around but not jack or pippa
"its my fault jack." Jack frowned "sorry pippa what was that?" he asked Pippa looked up frowning "its my fault that dad hunts all the time, if I wasn't here dad wouldn't need to hunt all the time." Jack eyes widened and frowned picking her up "now why would you say that?" Pippa sighed shrugging
"I don't know...somtimes I feel like if I wasn't here it would be better for all of you." Jack only stared then laughed and pippa glared "hey! its not funny!" Jack only laughed harder
"I know its not but-! thats just ridiculas." pippa only pointed more jack sighed calming down
"you shouldn't blame yourself, dad will still be on his hunts its what he does and nothing would be better if you wern't here." pippa only looked at him not beleiving jack smilied
"if you wern't here who would I lay tricks on?" pippa blinked then glared while smiling "thats not helping," Jack shrugged "well how about this?" he asked and walked away pippa frowned and jack started climbing a tree pippa's eyes widened "jack! get dwn from there!" pippa's friends henry and alice appeared
"whats wrong pip?" alice asked then gasped seeing jack in a tree Jack then sat on the branch "hey pip you guys look like ants down there," he called down pippa only watched terrified for her brother "Jack please come down-" then gasped as jack fell back he winced waiting for him to hit the ground but jack only swung his legs still on the branch swinging back and forth pippa froze then laughed along with her friends, Jack laughed too then actually fell only to land on his feet alice and henry clapped and jack bowed pippa ran to him and hugged him
Jack was caught of guard and fell backwards pippa cried out then giggled as jack fell he winced
"ow pip!" he whined earning more giggles, she hit him in the arm
"come and catch us!" she yelled while running jack smirked
"I bet I can!"
