;wow you guys really want me to update sooner maybeIshouldpostoneofthe23chaptersihavedone. soooo this is kinda a filler chapter. Hope you all don't mind. I don't owm ROTG just the plot and any OC's;
Maeve woke up the next morning with her head resting on her arms. She blinked a few times before sitting up and stretching. She had fallen asleep in her painting studio on top of one of her sketchbooks.
She flipped through the pages to refresh her memory of what she had drawn that night. 5 dark figures took up the large sketchbooks page. Scribbled at the top read: "the dark guardians".
Maeve sniggered as she remembered the ideas she had gotten during her time with the guardians last night. Who would use the idea of dark guardians?
She stood up and yawned. Speaking of the mythical heroes themselves, what a night, dealing with them. What a day this will be. After they're performances last night she wouldn't be surprised if they started singing "Be our Guest".
Across the room, she noticed there was the familiar frost on the window with pictures drawn in it. One of them was a small lake background, another was a sleigh, and the other was the number 10. the last one was a J and a staff with a "G" curve at the end on it. Maeve got the message easily enough:
"Meet us by the lake at 10 o'clock. -Jack"
The teenager looked at the time on her watch. It was already 9:40.
"Crap! I'm late!" She thought as ran into the restroom, cursing under her breath. Quickly, Maeve showered off all the pencil shavings she had gotten on herself and brushed her teeth. Also, remembering what Tooth said, flossed carefully.
After rubbing her hair dry with a towel, Maeve slipped on a simple green T-shirt, jeans, and winter boots.
She pulled her hair back into a ponytail as she walked downstairs to see her mother and Amelia sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast.
"-and then Sandy made gold stingrays fly around the room!" Amelia squealed jumping up and down in her seat. Victoria chuckled and ruffled Amelia's hair. "Sounds like you had fun night." She said stand up.
"Maeve was there too!" Amelia said. "Weren't you, Maeve?" Maeve grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and nodded. "Yeah. It was loads of fun." She said grabbing her coat.
"I'm heading out with some friends today, mom. Is that ok?" She asked before placing the apple in her mouth so she could put on her coat. "Of course! Have fun." Her mother replied waving goodbye.
XXXXX-pointless time skip-XXXXX
Maeve finished her apple and tossed the core in one of the parks trash cans. Wiping the juice onto her jeans, she made her way into the forest that lead to the large lake.
She shivered at a sudden cold breeze followed by a single snowflake that floated down and landed on her noes. It burst so little blue lights glowed in front of her eyes. Maeve smiled and looked into the bare tree tops.
"Having fun in the trees, Jack?" She asked.
"You can say that." The winter spirit answered as he flew down and landed next to her. "I thought I was supposed to meet you at the lake." Maeve asked as they walked deeper into the forest. "You where." Jack replied. "I just wanted to see how you where doing first."
Maeve raised an eyebrow quizzically. "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" She asked. "You just seemed overwhelmed and -ah- kinda horrified by the others." Jack answered. Maeve laughed a little.
"They're sweet. I'm really looking forward to today." She replied. Jack smiled as they turned into the opening of the lake.
Maeve felt her jaw drop.
A giant red sleigh covered in gold details and designs rested on top of the frozen lake. It had a giant half-sphere with a mini-globe inside on the front end and several step-like rows that must've been seats for other riders. 12 large reindeer where hooked up to the front with reins that the driver could use to control them.
"Ah! Maeve!" North said walking up to her with his arms out wide. "Zo good to zee you again!" Maeve shook his hand and smiled. "Its good to see you too." She replied.
"The others vill be here zoon." He told them as they walked over to the sleigh. "You seen the zleigh, obviously." He said patting the side of the machine.
Maeve smiled. "Yeah, its amazing. brings back childhood memories." She said walking up to the sleigh still wide eyed. "Everyone lovez zee zleigh." North said to Jack.
The winter spirit smirked then looked at the sky. "Hey, here comes Sandy." He said pointing to the clouds.
A small yellow air plane started to fly down to the trio from where Jack was pointing. The more Maeve looked at it, the more she realized it was made out of the same magic sand Sandy had used to make children's dreams.
The plane disbursed above them and Sandy floated down. He smiled cheerfully and waved in greeting. "Zandy! Zo glad you could make it." North said patting the Sandman on the back.
Sudden amounts of small tooth fairies flew up from no where and surrounded Maeve and Jack.
Maeve laughed. "Hi." She said as a Baby tooth landed on her shoulder. "Sorry we're late." Tooth said flying up. "Lost track of time. Maeve! It's great to see you again!" The tooth fairy flew up to Maeve and hugged her.
"Hi, Tooth." Maeve said. "Your not late. I just got here, too." "Oh, good!" Tooth sighed. "Where's Bunny?"
Just as she asked, a large hole opened right under Maeve's right foot. The teenager hobbled over and almost fell in. Jack used his staff to grab her by her waist and heave her out.
"Sorry I'm late." Bunny said jumping out of the hole. "Got caught up at the Warren. What'd I miss?"
"Well you almost sent Maeve on a one way trip into your tunnels." Jack joked flipping his staff over his shoulder. "Come!" North said walking on to the sled. "Ve zhall head to the Pole!"
Sandy flew on one of the back rows, while Tooth sat in the front. they made themselves comfortable in their seats while Jack helped Maeve on board.
"Bunny, vhat are you vaiting for?" North asked as he grabbed the reigns. Bunny scowled. "You know I get air sick easily, Mate." He said hopping out of North's reach.
"You had no problem 40 yearz ago." North said defensively. "That t'was 40 years ago. I'll just stick to me tunnels." Bunny said turning around and walking away.
"So you where wrong, Jack." Maeve mocked from her seat next to Sandy. "He's not a kangaroo or a bunny. He's a chicken."
The Easter bunny stopped dead in his tracks. "What'd you call me?" Bunny asked waving a finger, or paw in his case, at her.
Maeve smiled as she rested her cheek on the palm of her hand. "You heard me. I guess the "big, bad Easter Bunny" is just a cotton ball after all."
"Alright, move over, girly." He said hopping on to the sleigh and sat in front of Maeve.
Jack smiled down at her with a glow of pride and amusement. Maeve smiled back then looked away. She couldn't help but feel a warm, bubbly feeling in her stomach when he did.
"Lets go!" North called to the reindeer. The animals started move around as they jogged in place. "Ya!" North yelled snapping the reigns with his wrists.
Reindeer instantly took off sprinting. Just as they started running, they started flying. they're hooves left ground and took the sleigh with it. Few minutes later they where airborne.
Jack looked between awe struck Maeve and air sick Bunny and grinned. "Watch this." Jack whispered to Maeve before jumping onto the back of the sleigh.
"Don't worry, Maeve." He said in a louder voice. "There's no way you can fall-" Just as Jack said it, the wind blew him off the edge. "Woah!" He yelled as he vanished from sight.
If Jack hadn't warned her, Maeve would've screamed. Probably like how Bunny was. The poor guy looked like he was going to be sick as he clawed at the seats. Whatever caused him to get used to the sleigh 40 years ago obviously wasn't working.
"Ah! Ah! North! Frosty fell off!" Bunny yelled as he looked over the edge. Maeve looked with him to see Jack casually lounging on the back skis of the sleigh.
"Awww." He said grinning as they where sharing an old inside joke. "You do care."
Bunny scowled at the winter spirit. "Oh, Rack off, ya bloody show pony!" He yelled as Jack hopped back into the sleigh."always showing off for ya girlfriend." Jack glared at him and joined Maeve back in the back.
"Old joke." He told Maeve while Bunny sat down with a brooding temper. "It's not the first time I've done that to him."
"What happened the first time?" Maeve asked trying hard not to laugh. "Pretty much the same thing, but he seemed a lot more panicked." Jack sniggered.
"Hang on, I knov a short cut!" North called over the wind. From his jacket pocket, he pulled out a snow globe with a blue mist in the center. "Zee Pole." North whispered to the globe. A small snow covered mountain appeared in the mist of the glass globe.
The toy builder then threw it in front of the sleigh, creating a giant rainbow portal out of no where.
"Woah!" Maeve yelped caught completely off guard as they entered the swirling vortex. After a quick, sickening, 360 the sleigh stopped spinning and they continued they're corse like usual as if nothing had happened.
"Woah..." Maeve muttered in awe as she stood up to get a better view. The Pole looked exactly like one of her paintings. White snow covered mountains, bright blue sky and an giant toy factory built into the side.
"Amazing, huh?" Jack whispered from behind her. "Before I was a guardian, I tried busting in hundreds of times." "What kept you out?" Maeve whispered back. "The Yetis." Jack replied. "Yetis?" Maeve asked in a disbelieving tone.
"Hey, your hanging out with Jack Frost, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Sandman, and Santa." Jack reminded her "Why not Yetis?" Maeve shrugged and nodded that he had made his point.
"Ready for landing!" North called. "Ohhhh..." Bunny moaned sickly. Jack grinned at Maeve. "Prepare to be amazed." He told her.
