Well I wanted to do somthing for halloween but this is as close as your going to get. And I just got an idea as well but its a day before so that will come in later, hope you enjoy this,
I don't own rise of the guardians
"...And that is our auditions coming to a clo-"
"Wait!" A voice yelled and all eyes turned to the back of the room to see a boy breathing heavily his face covered by his black baseball cap but when he looked up the others were stunned by his unique colouring,
The boy on stage blinked dumbly "I'm sorry, sir, but auditions are over," the boy addressing Jack had short chestnut brown hair that fell over his green eyes, his face covered in freckles and Jack saw he had a prosthetic foot. But the Teenager slumped hearing the news
"B-but I came all the way from Greenland for this," the boy blinked "oh, well maybe we can..." Jack brightened hope sparking in his chest
"No." A voice said both Jack and the boy turned to see two other people on the stage with him. A small man with spikey blonde hair and the same uniform as the boy that appeared he was part of the staff, he was slightly chubby and he had confused honey coloured eyes that were looking up at the figure who spoke
Jack looked up at the speaker eyes slowly widening from a hard glare to a stunned awe, he stopped himself from rubbing his eyes believing his own eyesight to be failing, becuase right in front of him was none other than Aster Bunnymund Juniour his idol in the flesh.
Jack suppresed the urge to run to his favourite celebraty for an autograph but what Aster said finally processed and he felt that Hope in his chest pop like a balloon and his smile faded "what...?" Aster only wore a cold expression on his face "if ya cant even come to an audition on time ya clearly arnt motivated enough to be a performer, in a real show ya cant afford ta be late." he said his austrlian accent showing through,
"But Sir, I don't really think-"
"Hiccup this is not up for discussion,"
He turned and was already leaving the stage and Hiccup went silent, Jack only stared his jaw slack
"B...but I came all this way..." Jack said feeling his heart breaking his dreams turning to dust right before his eyes
"And countless others have came farther than you and work harder for what they want. Better luck next year." Aster called back,
the others who auditioned were leaving also Jack stared then his face became determind as he ran forward ripping his cap off and tugging of his clothes "what are you doing!?" A female staff member cried out, her blonde hair way to long for it to be braided and still reach the floor.
Jack instead of stripping like she thought, but he had a gym clothes underneith running on stage doing acrobatics
"Please Aster give me another chance-!" But the doors shut on him and Jack felt breathless his hands shaking and he was doing everything to control his emotions with a forced sigh he riggedly walked of stage towards his gear.
He guessed he was going home...
Jack placed his hat over his head looking out over the balcony at the ocean seeing the sun setting he pressed his lips together thinking what he has to do now, should he go home and face disapointement? Or stay here and try to find a job somwhere and try again...but he promised Jamie, if he didnt make it as a Guardian he would give up.
A slight tug at his trousers made him glance down his eyes widened in surprise, seeing the sort blonde that accompanied Bunny on the auditions
"Hey little man," he said smiling The boy brought his hands up
'Are you okay?' He sighned Jack blinked he sighned back
'I'm fine thanks,' the blonde smilied pleased the boy could sighn
'I'm Sandy," jack smilied sheepishly he didn't know much sighnings but managed,
he held his hand out and sandy shook it "Jack ov-Frost," Jack corrected himself quickly but sandy caught it but his raised eyebrow and that was a question enough
"I nearly said my middle name," he lied but sandy doesnt call on it believing him enough even though Sandy just met him, when Jack turned back to the ocean that lost look on bis face Sandy knew Bunnys words got to him he didnt think 'looking sad.' suited Jack at all, Sandy gestured behind him.
'Want to check out backstage?' He sighned Jack looked in confusion then his face brightened in a smile and Sandy couldnt help but smile back.
Jack felt like he was in Santas workshop, He looked at everything in wonder he saw the staff holding the curtains ready and others communicating through headsets and some ushering others to their places Jacks grin widened further
"Maybe I should work backstage instead," if he was lucky enough he added as a afterthought he wasnt paying attention and knocked into somone nearly falling over "sorry-" his breath hitched as he saw the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, she had green hair not as abnormal as his with random blonde streaks and bright purple eyes, they had to be contacts, he thought and she had dark skin she looked slightly irritated until she saw him "please watch where your going," she said walking away and first Jack thought that was a bit cold she must of seen the hurt on his face becuase she added "Its pretty hectic backstage could be dangerous," as she walked away Jack realised she was a performer with her brightly coloured clothes that made her look as graceful as a bird of flight, Jack couldnt look away as the graceful figure walked on stage and he started with a jolt realising he'd just bumped into Toothinia Fea! Is there any more celebritys he's going to meet today!? Even though he wasn't a performer he'll know he'll die happy.
"What the hell are you doing here!?" A voice behind him yelled Jack flinched, He turned and saw a big muscled man he looked a little big with small eyes glaring at him his voice high and slightly squeky as if he didnt hit puberty yet, and Jack blinked dumbly, oh no this guy knows hes not supposed to be here, Jack saw the nametag for him 'fishlegs?' He thought, what a strange name…
Fishlegs grabbed his arm tightly and dragged Jack away and he was pulled his eyes wide 'oh god I'm getting thrown out!?'
But fishlegs chucked him in the dressing room and shoved a costume in his hands "put this on! You've only got five minutes!" Jack blinked dumbly when the door slammed shut he looked down at the outfit his eyes wide,
It was a dark purplish blue an all in one suit, it looked a bit elvish with a rimmed flat collor over the shoulders it came with a little dobby hat with a bell at the end, Jack gaped he looked like a little elf! Oh the the hat had a strap so it wouldnt fall off.
Once Jack was dressed he looked nervously in the mirror this isnt how he pictured going on Manny's stage but it would have to do,
Fishlegs poked his head through the door "ya done?" He asked Jack gulped nodding and followed the staff member,
He saw a group of others dressed like him and alarm hit him like a bullet 'oh god what was he doing? Was it trapeze? Tight rope! They have a routine and Jack had no idea what he was doing he froze
"Fishlegs? I Dont think-"
"No time!" Fishlegs said pushing him through and Jack fell with a stumble too late, he was on stage.
Rapunzal ran to fishlegs eyes wide "fishlegs? Who was that who went on stage?" Fishlegs looked confused
"That was ruffnut right?" Rapunzal turned to the side a long blonde haired man with a mean looking face looked irritated "but ruffnuts right here,"
Fishlegs paled "oh no…"
Jack froze to the spot but saw with some relief it was trampolines that loked like lakes? All the other elves were positioned and Jack scrambled on the only tramp left his whole body shaking and he tensed when the music started all the others started in sync except him jack mentally cried out and jumped in the air but thats when the others moved onto diffrent tramps, Jack flustered moved but when one other performer flipped and landed on his tramp Jack went flying from the face falling on his back on the other one thankfully vacant, the audiance laughed but for how long?
Jack flustered tried again but he was out of sinc and ungraceful the pressure heightenging he kept missing the steps
'I cant do this!' He gasped and nearly fell flat on his face on the next tramp the others on stage glanced at him as if he was mental he leapt again but when he came down he was falling ungracefully.
Tears sprang in his eyes 'I dont belong here-'
"You can do it Mr Elf!" A small voice called Jack looked in shook in the crowd a young child with blonde hair covered one of her green eyes sat anxiously faith glowed in her eyes for him! And time seemed to slow and Jack saw everything the performers moves the audiance and the children watching,
Jack narrowed his eyes in determination arching his back gracefully he planted both his feet on the tramp and leapt into the air doing a double flip, when he came down again he moved onto another tramp as the performer left it
'He was understanding there movments!' They started giving him eye contact communicating where he went next and he followed just as graceful as they were doing perfect sumersoulfs in the air as if he were born to fly,
And all to soon it was over and Jack was in a row with the others gasping along with them a bright smile on his face.
When it was finished the others patted him on the back
"You had us worried there for a moment there, rookie." Jack flushed "sorry," suddenly Rapunzal and Fishlegs appeared
"What were you doing on stage?" Rapunzal pratically cried out looking really stressed the other performers stepped away not sure what to make of the situation
"Why didnt you tell me you wernt a performer!?" Fishlegs growled cleary angry but Jack wasnt sorry he enjoyed himself and wished he had longer on stage but he didnt so all he did was shrug,
"You kinda kidnapped me a shoved me in the dressing room before I could explain-"
"Why were you back stage!?" Fishlegs asked glaring oh so it was Jacks fault huh? Before he could reply somthing inturupted him,
"That's what I would like ta know," a thick autrailian voice silenced the room,
Jack went riggid knowing who that voice belonged to he closed his eyes in a grimace
'Oh shi-'
"What are you doing here!?" Aster pratically growled frothing at the mouth, before he could start the lecture somone coughed to the right of Jack he turned and his eyes widened in surprise
"Lazy Russian!?" Jack gasped and winced instantly knowing that was rude but thats how he knew him
The russian hulk ignored him "what seems to be problem?" He asked Aster, Aster crossed his arms and jack was the target of his glare
"This gumby thinks he could just waltz on stage and cause chaos-"
"Jack." Aster stopped "what?" Jack was frowning at him "Jack Frost, at least know my name before you start yelling and raving like the March Hare," everything went tense except The russian who was stifling a laugh at the reference. And it seems Bunnys glare came to a new level of fury "what. Did. You. Say?" Jack knew he should watch it but couldnt control his mouth at the moment "Didn't hear that?
carrots are good for your eyes not ears old man." Rapunzal and fishlegs looked at Jack like he was crazy the other performaces back away slowly ages ago and the Russian looked amused as did Sandy where he morphed from jack had no idea, it looked like Aster was going to go for his throat but the russian laughed
"Bunny, you get insulted so easily,"
"North," he growled but North ignored him giving his full attention to Jack
"Jack Frost was it?" He asked Jack nodded warily
"I'm Nicoles St North," Jack frowned mouthing his name
North laughed instead "North if you prefer. I own MiM's stage." He finished smiling innocently,
Jacks jaw hit the floor
'Wha-He's the boss!?' And heres him calling him a lazy russian!
North continued "And while your performance on the stage didnt meet our standerds," Jack winced waiting to be yelled at, or securaty to kick him out.
But what North said next shocked him, North placed a finger to his lips and Jack saw a big gold ring on his fourth finger he pointed at Jack,
A calculating smirk gracing his lips
"Theres somthing interesting about you Jack frost," he reached into his pocket and brought out a card, It was a room key. North grinned at Jacks expression
"How would you like to perform as a Guardian?"
Jack was still in shock after that everything was a blur, the blonde girl Jack found out was called rapunzal looked stunned before shrugging it off as another of Norths 'whimsies' and went back to their work Aster was livid but went on stage with a huff, and Sandy tugged at Jacks trousers and escorted him to the apartments where the performers were staying at, before they left Jack took a peek out behind the curtains to watch Bunnymunds act,
His eyes widened as Bunny was on a trapeze but his bar didn't stay vertical it was detatched slightly that made him spin around in a circle while still swinging forward,
It made him spin so fast he was a blur and suddenly he let go and performed a graceful pose it looked graceful as if Bunny was in an attack pose linging forward to his enemy and the lights flashed Jacks eyes widened when he saw "The Riveling Pooka" being performed right in front of him, in the show Bunny defiently looked like a mighty warrior even with their little spat Jack couldnt help but think
"So cool…" before remembering himself and scowling
The show ended, shortly after.
Jack stared at his apartment and slowly took a breath and gripping his suitcase in determination he slowly opened the door flicking the light on, he dropped his bag and closed the door before leaning against it, taking a deep breath he smilied in disbelief "I'm a Guardian…" his grin widened as if it would break of his face he fist pumped the air "I'm a freakin Guardian!" He pratically jumped up and down on his toes in excitment before doing back flips and summersalts laughing like a maniac.
"Woo hoo!" He cried spinning around on the heel of his foot
"What a bundle of energy…" a voice mused and Jack froze realising he wasnt alone, what if he had a room mate!?
He went red with embaresstment turning slowly,
But what he saw wasnt what he expected, there was no one in the room.
But right on the counter was a small doll it looked kinda creepy, it was a man, small and bald with a sliver of blonde hair that curled, The doll wore a white suit that seemed to glow and had a happy rounded face for some reason reminded Jack of the moon, it had a weird staff in hand too Jack frowned and walked towards it about to pick it up
"Has any one else got this creepy-" it blinked suddenly and Jack froze wondering if he was seeing things until it spoke
"You…can see me?" The doll asked Jack paled, and fell backwards holding back a scream
"A t-talking doll…!?" He asked in contained Hysteria, But just Barely…
