It was a month after Jack had run away and the Guardians were worried out of their minds. They had searched everywhere and Jack was nowhere to be found. In the meantime Jack had settled into his new home quite well; although he still was uncomfortable with people bowing at him. The seasons were pretty secretive of their royal status and planned to keep it that way although the royal spirits did know of them. Jack sat down at the breakfast table with his siblings and waited for Mother Nature to walk in.
"I have a big surprise for you." Mother Nature said while sweeping into the dining hall. Jack smirked and raised an eyebrow.
"What is this surprise?" Jack asked. The other siblings seemed excited about something and Jack wanted to know what it was.
"Every five hundred years there is a royal ball where all royal spirits are welcomed." Rapunzel piped up unable to hide her excitement.
"Yeah and I will dance with Merida while you dance with Rapunzel and then we switch. Hopefully Merida doesn't step on my foot again." Hiccup spoke up while glaring at Merida who just rolled her eyes. Jack gave his signature smirk at that but then stopped once Merida kicked him under the table.
"Will you please stop it? This is not how young royalty is supposed to act." Mother Nature sighed while pinching the bridge of her nose as if to stop and upcoming headache.
After breakfast Jack went out to do his winter duties. Mother Nature then called the other three seasonal spirits into the throne room.
"I am very upset with what the guardians have done to Jack; but I do know that the Guardians are a family and family makes mistakes. I would like to reconnect them by inviting the Guardians to the ball. What do you think?" Mother asked while looking at her three children who looked as though they were going to fall off of their thrones. Hiccup then collected himself;
"I don't know about this. Jack is going to be pretty pissed off when he realizes what is going on."
"Yes, Are you sure you want to deal with the property damages after Jack creates a tantrum blizzard." Merida asked warily. Mother Nature smiled softly.
"It is worth it if we can reconnect them." Mother Nature said.
The Guardians were about to finally give up when Phil ran into the globe room with a scroll in his hand.
"Garh a bluba!" Phil yelled.
"Uh, what did he say?" Bunny asked. North looked confused before taking the scroll from Phil's hand and opening it. North scanned the paper quickly.
"It says Mother Nature is inviting us to royal ball. She says it is important." North said.
"Maybe Jack is there? Oh we can finally get our sweet-tooth back." Tooth cried with relief.
"Now wait just a minute. This is a royal ball and last time I checked Tooth is the only royal person here. Why are all of us being invited?" Bunny asked suspiciously.
"Vell maybe Tooth is right. Maybe Jack is there." North stated while seeming to be lost in thought. "Ok let us go to ball vhich is," North checked the scroll, "uh, tonight apparently." North stated.
"I feel like an idiot." Jack stated. He was wearing his boots and had a crown made of magical snowflakes on his head.
"It's alright to feel what ye are." Merida responded. Jack scowled at her but then quickly stopped after Hiccup glared at him as if to say shut up. Mother Nature then waltzed into the throne room where about fifty spirits were gathered. Mother Nature then spotted the Guardians in the crowd and smiled.
"Welcome all to the fifteenth annual royal ball." Mother welcomed. Everybody then bowed at her. It is time she thought.
"I now present my children; the four seasons. Prince Hiccup Horrendous Haddock of fall, Princess Rapunzel of spring, Princess Merida of summer; and Prince Jackson Overland Frost of winter." Mother Nature said earning a gasp from the Guardians. Whoops. Apparently they didn't know Jack was a prince. Mother Nature thought.
The seasons took that as their queue to step into the room. Rapunzel sat in her throne on the left side of Mother Nature. The throne was made out of light sticks that were tied together with vines and flowers blooming on the top. On the seat there was a cushion made out of moss. Hiccup took his seat next to her which was made out of maple tree bark with vines wrapping around it. It had gnarled branches in the top with fall leaves as a cushion. Merida took a seat in her throne that was to the right of Mother Nature made out of oak logs. At the top of the throne there was one marijuana leaf in each top corner. The seat cushion was made out of Madagascar periwinkles. Jack sat in his throne that was made out of ice with beautiful adelvice wrapped around it. The seat cushion was made out of adelvice as well. Everybody then bowed towards them which Jack was a bit uncomfortable with.
The invitation to the ball was defiantly right because finding out Jack was royal was a pretty big surprise. Everybody was bowing and the Guardians knew better than to just stand there so they bowed respectfully yet awkwardly. Jack was looking out at the crowed with a regal look on his face that screamed power. His eyes then widened when he saw four people bowing awkwardly in the back of the ball room. The Guardians were at the ball.
