A/N: So, I realize I didn't update yesterday. Sorry about that, I was swamped with homework. Just so everyone knows, I'll try to post as often as I can, but I probably won't be able to post every day, all the time.

Disclaimer: Nope. Still don't own them.


Jack had a love-hate relationship with the city. During the day, she hated big cities. Too many people would walk through her. Not to mention city people were always so busy. Never had anytime for a good snowball fight.

When day turned to night though, thats when Jack could have a little fun. Cities were big and full of places for Jack to cause a bit of trouble. When the streets were less crowded, Jack could freeze streets and fountains and cause the wind to blow everything around. Which is exactly what Jack intended to do.

She laughed as frost crept across the street. A man with a bag of groceries slipped and the groceries went flying. A boy drinking out of a fountain found his tongue sticking to the frozen water. Jack laughed along with the girls behind him.

As she flew up an apartment building, she noticed a university student working on homework. Boring, she thought. A gust of wind blew past the open window, making the papers go flying. Frost spread across the whole building, freezing clothes on clothes lines and freezing fishbowls. Jack spun around the top of a church happily. "Now that, that was fun."

During the past 300 years, Jack had made an important conclusion; she hated dresses. Like, with a passion. How could she skate around with a dress getting in her way? Not to mention she was a spirit that got blown around a lot by the Wind. Wearing a dress while getting blown upside down? Just leave that thought to the imagination. Basically, Jack decided to move forward with the times. She wore a blue hoody with brown pants. Shoes and her still didn't get along, however. Some things never change. Her hair, she kept the same as well. Sometimes she thought about tying it back, but where was the fun in that? She loved having her hair fly all over the place.

Day was starting to arrive, and Jack had zero interest in sticking around for that. "Hey, Wind! Take me home!" She let got of the pole she was holding onto and let the Wind carry her to Burgess.

"Snow day!" she cheered. She slide across the road, then hopped aroundon cars. One poor man happened to be in the way when she let a frost blast shoot out of her staff, and was nearly knocked over.

Jack liked Burgess for several reasons. This was the place she had been born, when she had first come out of the ice. It was a smallish town, which were Jack's favourite places. She knew almost every kid here, had even watched their parents and grandparents grow up. Not to mention most kids had larger groups of friends around here, making it so much easier to start a good snowball fight.

She shot up into the air, spun around on her staff, then landed on a small pond. This had sort of become her home for the past 300 years. Her pond wasn't empty today though. There were a few kids playing around on one side of the pond. A boy, about eight or nine, was walking past it on the other side, reading a book. Jack recognized this boy instantly. Jamie Bennett was easily the strongest believer of his age. He was so full of fun. Jack liked both him and his sister. Little Sophie was a real cutie.

Jack smirked as the Wind blew Jamie's book out of his boy chased after it. Jack landed beside him and looked at it. "Well that looks interesting. Good book?"

As Jamie picked the book up, a group of his friends, the twins, came running over."All right! Snow day!" they cheered, giving Jamie a little push as they ran past him.

Jack, who was behind them help up her hand proudly. "You're welcome."

"Hey guys, wait up!" Jamie called, racing after his friends. Jack followed behind him. "Are you guys coming to the egg hunt on Sunday?"

"Yeah. I can," one of the twins said.

"How are we going to find any eggs with all this snow?" the other laughed.

As the kids crawled through Jamie's fence and into his yard, Jamie turned back to his book. "Whoa, it says here that they found Big Foot hair samples, and DNA. In Michigan! That's, like, super close!"

"Here we go again," Claude said, throwing his hands up.

"You say that video too, Claude. He's out there," Jamie insisted.

"Yeah, just like aliens," Caleb teased. Claude gave him a shove.

"And the Easter bunny," Claude laughed. Jack, who had been walking on the fence, turned, suddenly interested.

"Wow, the Easter bunny is real," Jamie said, grabbing his sled.

"Oh he's real alright," Jack said, her staff hanging on her shoulders. "Real annoying, real grumpy and really full of himself."She thought of Bunnymund. Humans had a far off vision of what the Easter bunny looked like. Thinking of Bunny as a pink and fluffy bunny rabbit made Jack laugh every time.

"Come on, you guys will believe anything," Claude said.

Sophie, who had just walked out the door with her dog, got excited at the mention of the Easter bunny. "Easter bunny, hop, hop, hop!" she exclaimed, jumping down the stairs to the porch. At the last jump, her dog rushed forward and knocked her down. "Ow!"

"Mom, Sophie fell again," Jamie called.

Their mother came outside. "You okay, Soph?" She helped her daughter up. "Jamie, hat. You don't want Jack Frost nipping at your nose."

That made Jack wince. Who came up with that dumb saying? Forget the Easter bunny image. Nipping at your nose? Now that was far-fetched. It sounded like she wanted to bite their noses. Why on Earth would she want to do that? Gross.

"Who's Jack Frost?" Jamie asked as his mother pulled a hat over his head.

"No one, honey, it's just an expression."

"Hey!" Jack complained.

The kids ran out the fence, Jamie clinging onto his sled. Jack jumped off the top of the fence and grabbed a handful of snow. In most people's hands, the snow would melt. Or at the very least it would make the person's hand get cold. Not Jack though. Her hands were already ice cold, and she never made snow melt.

"Who's Jack Frost?" she repeated. She made a perfectly round snowball, and blew on it, adding a little winter fun into it; a trick she had perfected long ago. Then, with a mischievous grin on her face, she threw the snowball, hitting Jamie right in the middle of his neck.

Jamie yelped in surprise. "What?" The twins were laughing. No one but Jack could see it, but blue sparks danced around Jamie's face for a second. Jamie started laughing. "Okay, who threw that?"

"Well, it wasn't Big Foot, kiddo," Jack teased, landing by the kids.

Still laughing, Jamie made his own snowball and threw it at the only other people could see, his friends Monty and Pippa. They both were knocked over.

Pippa snapped, "Jamie Bennett, no fair!"

"You struck first!"

Jack threw two more snowballs, this time at the twins. "Free for all!" she yelled, hitting Jamie with another snowball. The kids all started laughing and joining in the fight. "All right, who needs to have it?" Jack swept her staff and created a bunch of snowballs for her to use. She managed to hit every kid twice, until Pippa accidentally hit Cupcake.

Cupcake was a larger girl, who scared most of the other kids. Jack knew that she was really a sweet girl, but all the other kids wouldn't go near her to find that out. Cupcake growled and slowly turned around.

Pippa paled. "Run, I hit Cupcake!"

Monty wasn't about to be blamed. He pointed at Pippa. "She hit Cupcake."

"You hit Cupcake?" Claude squeaked.

Using his sled as a shield, Jamie cowered as Cupcake came closer to then, a giant snowball, one used for snowmen, in her arms. Well this won't do at all. This isn't any fun, Jack thought. She crouched on her staff and threw a magic snowball at Cupcake's face.

"Oh, my-"

"Did you do that?"

"Nope."

"It wasn't me."

All the kids were shifting on their feet, nervously. Jack just smiled and waiting.

Cupcake tried to hold back, but she couldn't. She started to giggle, then full out laugh.

Soon she was chasing the rest of the kids around, but they were all laughing and enjoying themselves. When they started racing down a hill, Jack flew in front of them.

"It's slippery," she said, creating an ice patch. Which, unfortunately for Jamie, worked perfectly. He slipped and, landing on his sled, took off.

"Whoa!"

All the kids started yelling at him to stop, which was pointless. Jamie sped down the hill, Jack right beside him the whole time. Hitting a bump, Jamie flew onto the road. He yelled in terror.

Jack jumped to his rescue. "Whoa! Don't worry kid, I gotcha. Hold on! It's going to be alright!" She started guide the sled around, avoiding traffic and other obstacles. Jamie almost hit a delivery truck, causing a bunch of furniture to fall out.

"Keep up with me, kid! Take a left!" Jack made the sled take a jump off of a pile of dirt.

"Hey, slow down!" Jack heard one man yell. Oh yeah, that'll help. Adults could be so strange sometimes.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no!" Jamie cried.

"Is that Jamie Bennett?" one woman asked.

...Maybe.

Jack landed in front of Jamie, sliding on her own ice. "There you go," she encouraged. Even though the boy couldn't see or hear her.

Once realizing that he may not actually die, Jamie starting laughing, which made Jack laugh too. Then she saw the vehicle approaching. "Whoa," she said in surprise, making the ice slide jerk to the side to avoid killing anyone. Running out of road, Jack made one last jump. Jamie sailed off of it and landed in a big snow pile, completely unharmed.

"Oh my gosh!" Pippa cried, her and the others running over.

Jack wasn't so concerned. "Yeah!" she cheered, pumping her arm in triumph.

"Jamie? Jamie, are you all right?"

"Is he okay?"

The boy got to his feet. "Whoa! Did you guys see that? It was amazing!" Jamie rushed. Jack nodded proudly. "I did a jump and I slide under a-"

He was cut short by a couch from the delivery truck. It slammed into him, knocking him over. Jack winced. "Whoops."

The rest of the kids came over, trying to see if Jamie was okay. Luckily, he popped up. "Cool, a tooth!" he said, holding it high.

"Dude, that means cash," Claude said. They all started talking about the tooth fairy.

"Oh, no. No," Jack complained.

"I have to put this under my pillow!" Jamie said. The gang started walking off.

"Hey, wait a minute, come on! Hold on, hold on. What about all the fun we just had? That wasn't the Tooth Fairy, that was me!" Jack complained. She flew in front of them. "What do I have to do to get a little attention around here?"

Then Jamie walked through her. She was filled with the chill that she always got. That was the only time Jackie ever felt cold; when she was walked through. Sadly, she looked up at the sky. Her bad mood started to make it snow. She stuck her hand in her pocket and flew off.


Sophie sat on the edge of Jamie's bed, hearing him explain how he lost his tooth. "It was awesome! Then I went flying down this hill like whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Then the sled hit this thing and I went way up in the air! And then BAM!" he jumped on the bed, face first. "The sofa hit me. And see? My tooth came out!"

His little sister just giggled. "Alright you guys, time for bed," their mother insisted. "You have your tooth under your pillow?"

"Yeah." Jamie grabbed his flashlight.

"Now don't stay up all night trying to see her, Jamie. She won't come."

"But I can do it, this time! You want to help me Soph? We can hide and see the Tooth Fairy."

"Hide, hide, hide," Sophie agreed. Her mother just groaned and picked Sophie up, carrying her to bed.

Jack looked in from the window. Her hood was pulled up. Frost began to spread across the glass. She turned away and flew onto the roof.

"There's something I'm doing wrong," she said to the moon. "Can you just tell me what it is? Because I have tried everything, and no one ever sees me." She looked up, waiting for an answer, but of course there wasn't one. The moon never spoke to her.

She started to get upset. "You put me here! The least you can do, is tell me…tell me why."

Nothing. Sighing, she turned away. Why did the moon hate her so much? Sure certain spirits had a right to hate her. A lot of the time she had it coming. But what did she ever do to Manny? His hate was the one that hurt the most.

She flew over to another roof and started walking across the power lines, causing them to freeze. Around her, golden sand flew across the entire town. She smiled and pulled down her hood. "Right on time, Sandman."

One of the sand waves came towards Jack, and she jumped up to touch them with her hand. A dolphin made of sand formed and started jumping around her. Sandy was one immortal that Jack didn't mind. Sure they weren't exactly friends. But when Sandy was around, Jack, even if just for minutes, could be actually at peace.


Young Cupcake was having a wonderful dream about riding a unicorn. She smiled contently in her sleep and snuggled into her covers. It was a good thing that she was asleep, because she didn't hear the evil laugh coming from a shadow in her room.

"Oh, I thought I heard the clippity clop of a unicorn. What an adorable dream," Pitch said, stepping out from the shadow he was hiding in. "And look at her. Precious child. So sweet. So full of hope. Wonder. Why, there's only one thing missing. A touch of fear."

He laughed at he poked the dream sand. It slowly turned black, and the unicorn was consumed completely. Cupcake groaned in her sleep.

"That never gets old. Feel the fear. Come on, come on. That's right." The unicorn changed into a terrifying black stallion. "Yes, what a pretty little nightmare," Pitch hissed. "Now, I want you to go tell the others. The wait is over."

The stallion obeyed, and flew out the window. Pitch left the young girl's house and looked up at the moon. "Don't look at me like that, old friend. You must have known this day would come. My nightmares are finally ready. Are your Guardians?"
