Hello my fellow Guardians! I have returned yet again! I watched Rise of the Guardians again and wrote this while watching the movie. I swear, I could watch that movie everyday! Okay this chapter is a bit of a filler, pretty short and not my favorite. But I hope you guys like it!

srayt: I hope this is soon enough for you! Thanks for the love!

Guest: I will try my best to keep this story up! It's just hard when I have others I'm trying to keep up with as well!

TheDoctor'sAmazingCompanion: He's one of my favorite villains! Jude Law's voice is PERFECT for Pitch! I love any scenes with Pitch as well, especially ones with a Jack/Pitch confrontation. I think of the celebrities that voice them and I'm like, "Sexy good guy vs Hot British villain!" Such perfection!

Kelly: Thank you!

EnchantedElf: The band scene was funny! I like how it ended! I'm excited to write the Vida/Pitch meeting! He's such a charmer, I'm wondering if I should put some of that in his meeting with Vida!

Monkeygirlz3: So sweet, glad you love it! Hmm, that just maybe an idea ;)

Bunny: Your review almost made me cry! Thank you for the compliment, you made me feel so special and gave me more confidence in my writing! I'm so glad I'm one of your favorites! I don't know if you're interested in other stories I have posted, but please feel free to check them out!

Chapter 5: His Center and Her Story

Vida sat by a large crystal window that hung upstairs, knees up, her chin sitting on top of them. She'd never felt so angry in her life! Anger wasn't a part of her, it just felt wrong. For some reason, she felt a bit guilty for yelling at Bunny like that. Sure, he said some words that were uncalled for, but he didn't need to be yelled at. She just felt the anger increase with every harsh word that was used against Jack, and Jack didn't deserve that. Vida understood him. He couldn't be seen or heard by kids and he was lonely. Just like she felt.

She heard a quick flutter by her side. Tooth sat down across from her and said nothing for a moment.

"You okay?' Tooth asked.

Vida sighed. "Yeah, I'm okay."

"Vida, you know Bunny didn't mean what he said. He's just-

"I know. He's just…Bunny." Vida said, chuckling. "I don't know what came over me Tooth. I was so angry…"

"Everyone feels anger once in a while Vida, it's normal. Even for a love spirit." Vida looked towards her.

"Really?"

"Absolutely. Trust me." Tooth put a hand on Vida's shoulder, reassuring her that everything was okay. Vida smiled to her fairy friend and nodded.

"Hey there shiela." Vida turned and saw Bunny rubbing one of his arms. "Can we talk?"

Vida nodded and Tooth gave them some space to talk. Bunny sat in the spot Tooth was in. Quiet for a moment, he didn't know exactly where to begin.

"Vida, I'm-

"Bunny it's okay. I know you didn't mean it. I'm sorry too."

"For what?"

"For yelling at you like that." Bunny laughed.

"I deserved it sheila. You were right; I should've said what I said to Jack."

"Bunny, no matter how much of a clown Jack can be, I can understand him. Remember, we're frozen at seventeen. Well, Jack is, I was sort of born this way. It hurts to be invisible Bunny. It reminds you that you're completely alone."

"But you're not alone, you have us. You're a Guardian now, sheila. For what it's worth, I'm sorry." Vida smiled and hugged the large pooka.

"Thanks Bunny. And try not to give Jack a hard time." She mentioned. Bunny's eyes narrowed, an eyebrow rising.

"You're protectin' him quite a bit." Vida stiffened.

"Like I said, I can understand him." She said defensively.

"Or you like him." He muttered.

"What? I don't even know him!" Vida became flustered, running a hand through her hair, blushing madly.

"But you like him. Don't you?" Bunny teased.

"I'm not talking about this with you!" she crossed her arms childishly, pouting.

"You do like him! Our little sheila's in love!"

"I am not!"

"Are to!"

"Am not!"

"Okay Bunny, that's enough teasing." Tooth said flying to them, laughing. "She has a crush on Jack, its normal for girls her age."

"Tooth, I'm 317."

"Yes, but technically, you were born at the age of 17."

"I…guess that's true."

"Bunny's just messing with you. It's okay to have a crush on Jack. His teeth are amazing!" Vida laughed. Of course Tooth would be talking about how much she loved his teeth. Suddenly, Vida noticed that Tooth had stopped laughing. In fact, she wasn't even smiling. She was frozen, staring into space.

"Tooth? Is everything okay?"

"My palace. Something's happening. I have to get there immediately!" With that said, Tooth quickly flew out the window.

"Tooth!" Bunny yelled out the window before turning to Vida.

"We've gotta get North."

*LTHE*

Jack

"Who are you Jack Frost!?" North roared the question, backing Jack up to the door, touching his chest where his heart lied. "What is your center?"

"My center?" Jack asked, confused.

"If Man in Moon chose you to be guardian, you must have something very special inside." North thought for a moment with a 'Hm,' his large hand on his chin. He glanced to his shelf and turned back to Jack with a smirk.

"Here," he said, grabbing an old Russian nesting doll that resembled himself, "this is how you see me no? Very big, intimidating. But if you get to know me a little…"

He handed the doll to Jack. "Well, go on."

Jack opened the first doll, showing the North doll with a gigantic smile on its face. "You…are downright jolly…"

North chuckled. "But not just jolly!" Jack opened another doll. "I am also mysterious."

Another. "And fearless."

And another. "And caring. But at my center…"

Jack opened the last doll and shook the last, tiny doll in North's hand. "There's…a tiny wooden baby."

"Look closer, what do you see?" Jack held the wooden doll in his hand, looking closer and struggling to find something, but still saw nothing. "You have big eyes…"

"Yes! Big eyes, very big! Because they are full, of wonder. That is my center; it is what I was born with. Eyes that have only seen the wonder in everything. Eyes that see lights in the trees and magic in the air." North explained to Jack, gesturing to his latest creations that moved around his office playfully. The two observed the magic North's workshop held, toys like airplanes, blimps, hot-air balloons and jelly fish flew around the air.

"This wonder is what I put into the world. And what I protect in children. It is what makes me a Guardian. It is my center…what is yours?" North asked Jack, as he looked back at the wooden baby North doll.

"I don't know," Jack mutters. North nods, closing Jack's hand over the doll. Jack looks back to North with a smile. "There is…something I'd like to know."

"Hmm?"

"About Vida."

"Ah, have crush on Vida, huh?" Jack instantly blushed, brushing his hand behind his head. The new feeling he felt around her had ran through his mind, and he couldn't help but like it. Like her. The way she looked at him, the way she stood up for him. No one had ever done that for him. And he had to admit to himself that she was different than any others he'd met. He did have a crush; but that didn't mean any of the Guardians had to know about it.

"No! I mean, that's not it. What's her story?"

"Ah…Vida's story…is not like ours. Is not like yours. She is special. Vida is daughter of Man in Moon." Jack's blue eyes widened in shock. The daughter of the Man in the Moon? How was that even possible?

"What?"

"Yes, your expression was same as mine. She was born shooting star! Man in Moon sent her here and she showed up on doorstep. She stayed here for a while, until she learned her center." It didn't take long for Jack to guess her center.

"Love." She was Cupid; of course love was her center. But all the myths he'd heard about the love spirit were untrue. He wasn't around her long, but he could feel her kindness, the love that lied inside the beautiful package that was Vida Valentine.

"Yes. Our little Valentine. She is like daughter to all of us. We knew Man in Moon had special plans for her. It was all matter of time. Finally she was chosen along with you to be new Guardian."

"Why…why can't she be seen? Why were we chosen together?" Jack asked curiously. He didn't know if North could answer the questions he couldn't help but ask. The Man in Moon had never answered any of his but surely he had something in store for them if they were chosen at the same time right?

"That is for you two to find out together. The rest of her story you must ask her yourself. It is only from her, will you see whole story." Jack nodded. Suddenly, he and North heard a quick flutter from the window. Tooth? Jack and North turned away from the window, seeing Bunny, Sandy and Vida coming towards them in a panic.

"We have a problem, mate. Trouble at the Tooth Palace."
