Chapter 4: A Meeting and Harsh Words

"Hey there he is! Jack Frost!" The two young spirits quickly turned their heads to the large Guardian of Wonder. Vida stood up and stepped away from Jack, letting the others take over.

"You gotta be kidding me," She heard Jack mutter. The yetis picked him up out of the sack and onto his feet.

"Hey, hey put me down." The winter spirit muttered as the yetis set him back on the ground.

"Hope the yetis treated you well."

"Oh yeah, I love being shoved in a sack and tossed through a magic portal." Jack said sarcastically as he picked up his staff.

"Oh good, that was my idea." North spoke happily. Vida snickered and rolled her eyes at North's obliviousness.

"You remember Bunny obviously." North said, gesturing to the pooka, who greeted him with a grunt.

"Obviously." Jack said, nodding to the rabbit.

"And the Tooth Fairy-

"Hello Jack! I've heard so much about you!" Vida giggled as her fairy friend flew happily around the winter spirit. "And your teeth!"

"My- my what?"

"Open up! Are they really as white as they say? Yes." Tooth asked, opening Jack's mouth and seeing for herself. "Oh they do sparkle like freshly fallen snow!"

Vida watched closely as Tooth and her fairies sighed dreamily over Jack; something she wanted to do as well. "Girls pull yourselves together. Let's not disgrace the uniform!"

"And Sandman." North gestured to the small, sleeping dream man. "Sandy? Sandy? Wake up!"

Sandy immediately awoke. "And let's not forget Vida Valentine. I believe you two have met."

Vida felt like an ant under a magnifying glass under Jack's mischievous gaze.

"Well not formally. Wait…Valentine? You mean…Cupid?" Vida laughed nervously and rubbed her arm as she flew over to him. As her feet touched the ground, she put her hand out.

"Never understood how humans came up with that one. But yes. It's nice to finally meet you Jack, I'm Vida." Jack smiled and took his hand out his hoodie pocket and touched her hand. She shivered slightly at the cold of his touch, but didn't mind.

"Nice to meet you too." Vida smiled back and again, the two were swept into each other's gaze.

"Those two hit it off quite well, don't ya think?" The two heard Bunny whisper to Sandy. Vida and Jack separated quickly, cheeks burning.

"Uh hey, anyone wanna tell me why I'm here?" Jack asked all of them. Sandy volunteered, dream sand, creating rapid pictures that Jack couldn't understand.

"Uh, that's not really helping, but thanks little man."

"Must've done something really bad to get you four together…" He muttered to himself, freezing an elf with the touch of his staff.

"Am I on the naughty list?" He asked smirking. Vida giggled again, noticing Jack's ever mischievous attitude. She hadn't known him for five minutes, but she knew she liked seeing the smirk on his handsome face. Vida blushed lightly at her thoughts, combing her hands through a section of her hair and brushing them away.

"Ha! On naughty list? You hold record, but no matter-we overlook. Now we are wiping clean the slate." North said, wiping his Naughty tattoo arm.

"How come?" Jack asked curiously, smirk still painted on his face.

"Ah good question," Bunny added. Vida glared at her rabbit friend, elbowing him harshly.

"Ow, what?"

"You don't have to be such a grumpy bunny!" She said in a baby voice, scratching behind his left ear. Bunny relaxed while she scratched, but immediately shook her hand off as she laughed.

"I am not-

"How come? I tell you how come! Because now, you are Guardian!" North bellowed. An echo of trumpets and drums erupted in the hall and Vida watched Jack's confused face looking at all the pandemonium.

"This is best part!" North began marching with the elves as the yetis circled around Jack, twirling fire batons. A yeti brought out the Book of the Guardians and gave it North.

"I…think this may be a bit much?" Vida mentioned to Bunny.

"Yeah, you're telling me. It's all for that little punk." Vida frowned and hit him on the shoulder.

"Ow! What's with all the hitting?"

"You know that's not what I meant!"

"You don't have to hit!"

"Don't be such a baby-

Suddenly Vida and Bunny were interrupted by a huge bang with a blast of ice and wind. North peeked his eyes over the huge book; everything was silent.

"What makes you think I wanna be a guardian?" Jack asked the four. Vida's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't wanna be a Guardian? Who didn't want to be a Guardian? It was a huge honor to be a guardian. Her thoughts paused as she heard the huge, roaring laugh coming from North.

"Of course you do. Music!"

Before the band could start up completely, Jack yelled, "No music!"

"This is all very flattering, but uh- you don't want me. You guys are all 'hard work and deadlines!' And I'm 'snowballs and fun times.' I'm not a guardian."

"Yeah, that's exactly what I said." Bunny added. Before Vida could hit him again, Tooth patted him on his arm and flew to Jack.

"Jack, I don't think you understand what it is we do." She flew over to the globe. "Each one of those lights is a child."

"A child who believes." North added. "And good or bad, naughty or nice, we protect them."

Vida then heard grunting from Jack and sighed. "Tooth, fingers out of mouth."

"Oh, sorry! They're beautiful,"

"Okay no more wishy washy, Pitch is out there doing who knows what!" North said. Vida froze. North had never mentioned Pitch Black being back. Vida had never met the Nightmare King, but she had heard lots about him in the past. The spirit was filled with darkness, torturing children with Nightmares and filling them with fear.

"You mean the Boogeyman?" Jack asked, chuckling.

"North, you never said anything about Pitch," Vida flew to the husky giant.

"I had to wait for Jack, so I could say to you both. When Pitch threatens us, he threatens them as well." He said, gesturing to the globe covered in lights.

"All the more reason to pick someone more qualified…like Vida." Vida looked down at the floor at the mention of her name.

"Pick? You think we pick? No you were chosen! Both of you, like we were all chosen. By Man in Moon."

"What?"

"Last night Jack, he chose you and Vida." Tooth told him.

"Maybe you." Bunny mumbled. Vida was too busy paying attention to Jack and turning to her father to hear Bunny.

Seems like I'm not the only one you won't talk to…she thought.

"Man in the Moon, he talks to you?" Jack asked them.

"You see, you cannot say no. It is destiny."

"Why-why wouldn't he tell me that himself?" He asked, talking to himself.

"Yeah, welcome to my world." Vida told him. Jack glanced at her for a moment, but was too swept into his own anger. He groaned and ran a hand through his snow white hair.

"After 300 years, this is his answer? To spend eternity like you guys, cooped up in some hideout thinking of…of new ways to bribe kids? No no, that's not for me!" He yelled to the moon. Vida narrowed her eyes at the winter spirit. He may be upset, but it was still no reason to take it out on her friends.

He turned to the Guardians and said, "No offense."

"Now how is that not offensive? You know what I think; I think we just dodged a bullet. I mean what's this clown know about bringing joy to children anyway?" Bunny said before scratching his ear with his foot.

"Uh, you ever heard of a 'snow day?'" Jack said, turning back to them. "I know it's no hardboiled egg, but kids like what I do."

"But none of them believe in you do they?" Vida froze at the cold words that came from Bunny. "You see, you're invisible mate. It's like you don't even exist."

Vida saw Jack shrug it off, but she knew those words hurt him. They weren't even for her and they hurt like a stab to the stomach. She said, "Bunny, that's enough!"

"No no, the kangaroo's right." Jack said to her. The inside insult caught Vida off guard and she chuckled in satisfaction.

"The-the what? What did you just call me? I am not a kangaroo mate." The two stepped closer to each other in confrontation.

"Oh and this whole time I thought you were. If you're not a kangaroo, what are you?" Jack said harshly.

"I'm a bunny. The Easter Bunny. People believe in me." Vida's anger had boiled over the top. She'd had enough of Bunny's cold stabs with being invisible.

"That's enough Bunny!" She yelled, flying in his face. "Don't you think he's had enough? That we've had enough? He's not the only one who can't be seen you know! You have no idea how much it hurts to not be seen by kids, you don't have to throw it in his face like that!"

Jack

Everyone was quiet. Jack was quite surprised at the anger that came out of the girl. He would've never expected it; she just didn't seem like the type. She'd stood up for him, but what did she mean, he wasn't the only one? Then it hit him.

She couldn't be seen either.

"Sheila…I didn't-

"No, you didn't." With those last words the Valentine flew away. Bunny groaned, frustrated with himself.

"Maybe I should talk to her." Tooth said, flying up.

"Not just yet. Let her blow off steam." North said as he turned to Jack.

"Jack, walk with me."

There we go, chapter 4! I know there wasn't much interaction between Jack and Vida in this chapter, but I tried to put in as much as what could fit in this chapter! There will be much more Jack/Vida interaction in later chaps. Please tell me what you think!
