Winter Spirit's Pay Back
"I don't know why, but I'm sure that is not a gorilla!" Jack shouted when he saw a bunch of yetis chasing him but failed to catch him. Suddenly an elf jump on him and the young guardian screamed, "Get off me you ugly little thing!"
The guardians are working for hours, including the yetis and the elves, together to catch the winter spirit but they can't. Amber doesn't want to help and she's just sitting there reading a book and ignoring the irritating shouts of the winter spirit.
"You can't catch me!" Jack shouted joyfully while dodging Bunnymund's boomerang and egg bombs. The sandman can't grab Jack for he is too fast and he's always moving around. North asked Amber to help them but she ignored it and keeps reading. The Tooth fairy got tired so she just sat there beside the summer spirit.
"Why is it so hard to catch your boyfriend?!" She exclaimed hoping Amber will get furious and catch Jack Frost to finish this once and for all but surprisingly she didn't and noticed something in her ear. She took it off and Amber snatched it back.
"What?!" she shouted and looked at the Tooth fairy.
"What are you doing?" she said sounding like a mother. Amber ignored her and put back that thing in her ear but the Tooth fairy snatched it.
"Give me that back!" She shouted, "you are not my mother…." She added and groaned. The Tooth fairy's keeping that thing away from Amber,
"And you're not my daughter!" Tooth shouted back. "What's this anyway?" She asked and looked at the summer spirit.
"It's called a headphone and this is an iPod nano, duh… every teenager knows that." Tooth scratched her head and doesn't know what Amber just said. Amber snatched it back but the Tooth fairy grabbed Amber's hand.
"Oh no, you can only get this back if you caught Jack Frost." The summer spirit groaned and grabbed her golden staff. She looked back at Tooth and gave her an angry smile.
Amber flew up and followed the other guardians and saw Sandy was about to throw a sand dust towards the young guardian, but instead of him he hit… somebody else….
"Oh… look…. Candy canes…" North said while feeling sleepy and dizzy. He suddenly fell on the Easter Bunny.
Sandy walked away avoiding Bunnymund to see him. "SANDY!" the Easter Bunny shouted and tried to free himself but North's just too… heavy.
"You guys look pathetic!" Jack Frost yelled while he's above them and laughing at them. Suddenly a light attacked the young guardian but he easily avoided it.
"Oh…. I like a shiny, sparkly, lighty thingy." He said joyfully, "WHO DID THAT?!" he added and became furious and irritated all of the sudden.
Then Amber stood in front of him and the young guardian looked at her from head to foot. "You're the first normal person I saw around here." Jack said with a grin and stared at Amber. The summer spirit pointed her golden staff at him and gave an evil smile, "almost… normal."
"Ohhh! You have a staff too!" Jack said ignoring the scary tone of the summer spirit, "What does it do?" he asked.
Sandy's behind the winter spirit and he didn't notice it and gave Amber a sign. The summer spirit keeps talking to the winter spirit to avoid Sandy getting noticed.
"What's that we're about to say before we go to sleep?" Amber asked and Jack raised his hand, "I know, I know!" he shouted and Amber looked back at the young guardian.
"Good night and Sweet dreams!" He added and Sandy threw a sand dust to Jack and he felt giddy and out of balance. Finally he passed out and Amber caught him and put him in the settee in the living room slowly and gently.
Jack woke up and finds himself in his room. He looked around and touched his head and felt a little dizzy and he didn't know what happened. Sandy peeked in the young guardian's room and saw that he's already awake and all of them entered his room.
"How did I get here?" Jack asked them curiously as they went inside. He looked at them but they're not saying anything.
"What do you remember?" North asked and sat beside the young guardian. Jack's confused and felt weird about the guardians' vacant stares.
"I… remember… eating Amber's cookies and hot cocoa…" the winter spirit said and North nodded.
They looked at each other and realized that Jack is feeling fine and well. Jack still doesn't know what's happening. He stood up and lost his balance a bit and followed the other guardians while they're leaving his room.
Jack got shock and stunned when he saw the whole place are full of snow and frosts. The yetis are cleaning his mess and they are just ALMOST half way in cleaning the whole place. Jack looked at North and gave him a curious look.
"What happened here?" he asked thoughtfully and looked around the place.
"You happened!" Bunnymund shouted from behind and they both swerved to look at the Easter Bunny, "you had a 'warm rush." He added they noticed Jack doesn't know what that is.
"It's just like sugar rush but instead of sugar, the cause of you being hyper active is warm or hot food and drink." North explained formally.
Jack is remembering something and Amber popped into his head and abruptly looked at North, "Where's Amber?" he said furiously and North quickly pointed the summer spirit's room. Jack barged into Amber's room and saw her brushing her long blonde hair and she looked at him by the time he opened the door.
"You know this will happen, do you?" Jack asked her angrily as he walked closer to the summer spirit.
"What makes you think I know that THIS will happen?" Amber said back serenely and looked at the young guardian, "and it's JUST cookies and hot cocoa." She said with an evil grin. Jack clutches his staff and leaned closer to the summer spirit while giving her his not-in-the-mood-look.
"Just!" He said furiously and shook both of his hands in front of Amber like he just wants to pinch her rosy cheeks so bad. The young guardian felt irritated and just want to… well he can't really describe it.
Amber on the other hand is feeling nervous and frigid about something she doesn't know what but may happen in a few seconds.
"Yes… JUST…" she said heartily and touched the young guardian's cheek but he moved away with celerity. Amber got shocked and didn't know why she did that but she had a feeling that her hands just moved and became cold when she touched Jack's pale cheek.
"Oh… no, no, no…" the young guardian said with a grin, "Is that what this is all about?" Jack asked her with a weird tone that made her shrugged and felt cold instantly.
"That what?" She said nervously and trying to cover up what the real reason she's angry with him.
"You are not still mad about THAT, are you?" Jack said and became calm all of the sudden while he's looking at the blushing summer spirit.
"I… don't know what you're talking about…" she said nervously while she's walking backwards until she leaned on the wall.
"I think you know PRECISELY what I'm talking about…" he said cordially and went closer to the summer spirit, "Or…"
Amber suddenly widened her eyes like she knows what the young guardian is going to say which made her hugged herself. She felt something but she can't really describe it. She looked down avoiding the young guardian's eyes and trying to keep it that way.
"You want me to remind you what THAT is?" Jack said heartily. He rests his staff beside Amber and put his both hands on the wall between the summer spirit's face,
"I think… It's time for my payback…" he added, "If you don't want IT then, I have to take IT back…" he said staring at the summer spirit.
"You want IT back?!" Amber said furiously.
She puts her hands around the winter spirit's head and neck and looked at his bright light blue eyes, "Come on! Take IT back, I don't want IT anyway!"
Amber kissed the young guardian gently and passionately. It lasted about five seconds before Amber backed away. She stared at Jack who froze and got shocked that she really did IT.
"I was…. Just… kidding…" Jack said nervously while staring at her. Amber drags Jack away while holding his staff and pushed him through the door and threw the wooden staff to him.
"Well, too bad… cause… I'm serious!" She shouted angrily and slammed the door. Amber turned and leaned on her door and touched her lips. She closed her eyes and banged her forehead and went to the bathroom.
Jack Frost on the other hand, went to his room quietly and slowly. He laid on his bed and touched his lips and sat up while wiping his face.
"Wow…." He said almost breathless.
