With the golden sand floating around, Jack felt herself able to smile as she walked across the roofs of Burgess. Then, something large and fast zipped past her. "Whoa!" Curious, she raced after it. She almost lost it a few times, but eventually she saw the thing land in an alley. She followed it, and looked around, trying to see where it had gone.

"Hello, mate." Jack whirled around, her staff held in a defensive position. "Been a long time. Blizzard of '68 I believe." Bunny stepped out from the shadows. "Easter Sunday, wasn't it?"

Jack lowered her staff, and leaned on it, not bothering to hide the smirk that was creeping up on her face. "Bunny. You're not still mad about that, are you?"

He glared. "Yes. But this is about something else. Fellas."

To Jack's surprise, a fury hand grabbed the back of her hood and yanked her up. "Hey!" Jack recognized them from the many times she had been caught sneaking into Santa's workshop; they were North's yetis.

One of the yetis snapped at her in their usual gibberish. Jack struggled, but she was small and the yetis were strong. "Put me down! What the-" She was cut off as one of the yetis held up a red sack, and the one holding Jack stuffed her into it. She yelled and struggled, but it was no use. It's not like anyone could hear her.

The yeti not holding Jack said something in his gibberish, then threw a globe he was holding, opening up a portal. It gestured for bunny to go ahead.

"Me?" Bunny laughed. "Not on your nelly. See you back at the Pole." He tapped his foot and opened up one of his tunnels. Nodding at the yetis, he jumped through it. When the tunnel closed, a flower was in its place.

The yetis shrugged, and tossed Jack through the portal. She yelled out as she went through, the yetis right behind her.

"Whoa, whoa,whoa, ahh!" she yelled, and she felt herself hit the floor.

"She's here," she heard someone whisper. As she pulled the sack open, she saw two elves peaking at her. They quickly moved out of the way. "Quiet," the voice said again.

Jack looked out, and much to her surprise, saw the three other Guardians looking at her, although Tooth was a bit distracted with her fairies.

"There she is. Jack Frost!" North said when her head poked out. Tooth stopped talking for a minute and followed North to greet Jack.

The winter spirit was looking around. She had never expected to have been allowed in the workshop before. Certainly not the way she had been. "Wow. You've got be kidding me."

The yetis behind her both grabbed an arm and pulled her to her feet. " Hey, hey, put me down!" She grabbed her staff with her foot and shoved the yetis away.

"Hope the yetis treated you well," North said.

"Oh yeah," Jack laughed in annoyance. "I loved being shoved in a sack and tossed through a magic portal."

That seemed to please North. "Oh, good. That was my idea." He went to introductions. "You know Bunny, obviously." He gestured towards the rabbit.

"Obviously," Jack muttered.

"And Tooth Fairy."

Jack didn't even have time to turn towards her before Tooth was right beside the spirit. "Hello Jack," she said, almost breathlessly. Jack got a bit worried. Tooth didn't...like her, did she? Through all 300 years, Jack didn't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, but she was pretty sure she preferred boys. Especially with this girl, seeing as how Tooth had ignored Jack all that time. If Tooth did like her...well that was one conversation Jack didn't want to have.

"I've heard a lot about you," Tooth continued, rushing around Jack. "And your teeth!"

That one caught Jack off guard. "Wait, my what?"

"Open up! Are they really as white as they say?" Tooth shoved her hands in Jack's mouth, looking at her teeth. She gasped. "Oh they really do sparkle like freshly fallen snow."

So, Tooth didn't like Jack, she liked Jack's teeth. Jack couldn't decide which was weirder, though she still felt slightly relieved.

The Tooth Fairy wasn't the only one freaking out. All of her little baby teeth were freaking out over Jack's teeth as well. At that particular moment, Jack couldn't decide who scared her more; Bunny or Tooth and her fairies.

"Girls, pull yourselves together! Let's not disgrace the uniform," Tooth said. She flew a bit away from Jack, much to the young girl's relief.

"And Sandman," North continued. Sandy was floating beside him, asleep. "Sandy? Sandy?" He tapped Sandy on the shoulder. "Wake up!" Sandy opened his eyes.

Jack had enough. "Hey, whoa. Anyone want to tell me why I'm here?"

Sandy put up his hand. He created a bunch of images above his head, like a moon, and snowflakes and a person which was most likely Pitch. Out of all the Guardians, Jack liked Sandy the most, but that didn't means she could understand what the little man was trying to tell him all the time.

"Uh, yeah, that's not really helping. But thanks little man." She stood up and started walking away. "I must have done something really bad to bring you four together," she said, swinging her staff and freezing a nearby elf. "Am I on the naughty list?"

That made North laugh. "On naughty list? You hold the record. But, no matter, we overlook. Now we are wiping clean the slate."

Jack turned. "How come?" she asked, slightly amused by the whole thing.

Bunny snorted. "Yeah, good question."

"How come?" North asked, putting his hands on his hips and walking towards the spirit. "I tell you how come! Because now, you are Guardian!" Two yetis came up behind North and held up torches. The elves started playing trumpets.

Out of all the possibilities…this scenario hadn't even crossed her mind. Jack stumbled back, sure that this whole thing was a joke. Bunny hated her. North had never paid her any attention, and neither had Tooth. Sandy was the only one Jack had ever really talked to, but he was always really busy. They had never had a "conversation" that lasted more than two minutes.

Banners were started to fall over the balconies, and two baby teeth flew over, carrying a necklace that Jack quickly backed away from. She stumbled into one of the yetis, who patted her shoulder.

"This is the best part!" North cheered. He started marching along with the elves, as the yetis did some weird fire show. Why they thought that was a good idea to do for a winter spirit, Jack had no clue. All she knew, was that she could count all the times she had been more afraid than she was right then on one hand. In all three hundred years.

She accidently started making it snow. All of it was overwhelming and terrifying. She almost fell over, but was caught and righted by the yetis behind her. Jack spotted an elf by his feet. The elf pointed at her bare feet, then at a pair of blue shoes two other elves were holding. Jack looked at them in confusion. She did not wear shoes. Never had.

A yeti came up to North, holding a large book. North took it and opened it. Sandy held up his cup, nodding at Jack. The baby teeth were still freaking out, probably about her teeth still, while Bunny just rolled his eyes.

'Enough' Jack thought, her emotions now switching to anger. She raised her staff and slammed it into the ground, causing a strong, cold wind to blow throughout the whole room. Ice formed on the ground, and the torches were blown out.

She stepped forward. "What makes you think I want to be a Guardian?" she asked the almost cowering Guardians.

For a few seconds, they were silent. Then North burst out laughing. "Of course you do. Music!" The elves started up again, but Jack would have none of that.

"No music," she snapped. One of the elves with a trumpet, threw the trumpet to the ground, and left with a huff.

"This is all very flattering, but uh, you don't want me. You're all 'hard work' and 'deadlines' and I'm, 'snowballs' and 'fun time'," she reminded them, jumping and the railing and sitting down. "I'm not a Guardian."

That got a laugh out of Bunny. "Yeah, that's exactly what I said."

Tooth shook her head at Bunny and flew over to the young spirit. "Jack, I don't think you understand what it is we do." She gestured towards the globe. "Each of those lights is a child."

"A child who believes," North said, stepping beside Jack. "And good or bad, naughty or nice, we protect them."

He heard Jack make muffled sounds of protest. "Tooth, fingers out of mouth."

She glanced over at him. "Oh, sorry." She put started flying away. "They're beautiful."

North decided it was time to get down to business. "Okay, no more wishy-washy. Pitch is out there doing who knows what!"

Jack scoffed. "You mean the Boogeyman?"

"Yes. When Pitch threatens us, he threatens them as well," he said, pointing to the lights.

"All the more reason to pick someone more qualified," Jack said. She turned away, ready to leave these crazy immortals. But North wasn't finished.

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

That got her attention. "What?"

"Last night, Jack. He chose you," Tooth explained.

Bunny wasn't so certain. "Maybe."

"Man in Moon. He talks to you," She said it more of a statement than a question. She looked through the window where the moon was poking out.

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

"Why…why wouldn't he tell me that himself?" She rubbed her head in frustration. "After three hundred years, this is his answer? To spend eternity like you guys, cooped up in some hideout thinking of new ways to bribe kids? No, no. That's not for me!" she shouted at the moon. "No offence," she told the Guardians.

"How is that not offensive?" Bunny scoffed. He started walking towards Jack. "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?"

Jack simply laughed. "Uh, you ever hear of a snow day? I know it's no hardboiled egg, but kids like what I do."

"But none of them believe in you, do they? You see, you're invisible mate. It's like you don't even exist."

Bunny's words stung, but Jack did her best not to let it show. "Bunny! Enough," Tooth snapped.

Feeling the need to get back at Bunny, Jack held up her finger. "No, the kangaroo's right."

'Three, two…'

"The what? What did you call me?" He didn't wait for Jack to answer. "I am not a kangaroo mate."

"Oh, and this whole time I thought you were. If you aren't a kangaroo, what are you?"

"I'm a bunny." Both immortals were right in each other's faces. "The Easter Bunny. People believe in me," Bunny growled.

Sandy let out a breath, knowing from the look on Jack's face that this had gone too far. He nudged North.

"Jack, walk with me."
