Hellloooo! I am soooooooo happy I could stay awake ALL NIGHT. But I can't 'cause I have a test and whatnot. So I'm going to write this chapter then go to bed for miserable school. Anyways, here it goes.
As it turned out, The Tree was in Michigan, much to Jack's liking. April led him to the top of a hollow tree, and jumped in. Jack seemed reluctant at first, but he ended up jumping as well. He fell farther than he'd expected. Jack found himself lying in a beautiful meadow with a giant sycamore tree in the middle.
"Welcome to The Tree, Jack," April said with a voice as starstruck as a comet.
She helped him up and led him through the meadow, then was pulled into a hug by someone Jack didn't recognize. He had bright red hair, orange eyes, and caramel skin.
"Can't…breathe…" she choked out. The boy let her go, but held her hand. Jack saw that clearly he was April's boyfriend.
"Is that Jack Frost? Hi! I'm Heat Homenhearth, at your service," he said with a friendly tone. Jack noticed an amber crystal around his neck.
"If you don't mind my asking, why do you have those crystals?" he asked.
"They give us our powers," April explained, "and are nearly impossible to break."
Just then, five spirits jumped on them. Jack recognized Cupid, Cupette, and a leprechaun from what he'd heard about them.
Cupid had brown hair with red streaks, red eyes, and chesnut skin. Cupette had brown hair with pink streaks, pink eyes, and chesnut skin. The leprechaun girl had ginger hair, green eyes and milky skin.
"Hey guys! Look who I found!" April said. All eyes focused on Jack. He saw a boy with black hair and orange streaks, yellow cat eyes, and tan skin. Halloween, he thought. There was a girl with hair that looked like the northern lights, light purple eyes, and pale skin. Jack didn't know what to make of her.
"Let me introduce you. These spirits are Cupid, Cupette, Patricia O'Malley, Trickster Treats, and Aurora Borealis. Guys, this is Jack Frost," April said.
"So, a new guy, huh? Never heard of you," Trickster said casually.
"Shut up, Trick, we all know you have," said Patricia.
"Hi!" Cupid and Cupette said simultaneously. Aurora just waved shyly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all. I hope we can all be friends," Jack said. And he meant it. He wanted to be a part of their group.
"Well, maybe you should come to karaoke night. It's tomorrow night, and you'll have loads of fun," April said. Heat suddenly got tense.
"Doesn't he have other things to do, you know, being a guardian and all?" Heat asked. Jack didn't catch the jealousy in his tone.
"Nah, I only work during the day. I'm sure I can make it," he replied.
"Great! See you then," April said happily. Heat resented this. Although he was glad they were getting to know him, the spirit of family didn't want to be kicked out of his own family. Right then Aurora's crystal started glowing. She flew up and sent out the northern lights.
"I guess you have to go now," Patricia said.
"The other guardians need you. I'll see you tomorrow," April sadly said. Jack said goodbye to everyone, and left the Tree.
Yay! Another chapter up! I know it's annoying looking at all their features except their clothes so: April has a black tee with a white cardigan, blue jeans, and black ankle boots; Heat has a red tee with brown capris, and tennis shoes; Cupid has a red vest with a pink tee, jean shorts, glasses, and red shoes; Cupette has a pink vest with a red tee, jean shorts, glasses, and pink shoes; Patricia has a plaid green sleeveless dress, knee-high socks, and blck buckle shoes; Trickster has a black jacket with an orange tee, black skinny jeans, and orange boots; and Aurora has a green sleeveless shirt, purple and blue tie-die skirt, and green flats. 'Till next time,
C-ya penguins! Or puffins…
