"Woo hoo Izzy!" Jack smiled as Izzy sled down the hill, just above Norths Workshop.
Martha was freezing, even after one of the yetis gave her a thick coat. She, however, still had fun sledding. Who wouldn't?
"That was awesome!" Izzy jumped up and down.
Martha looked at her, "Izzy! You're not wearing the proper clothes to be out in the freezing cold!" She scolded like a parent. Izzy rolled her eyes, "Aw, come on Martha! It's not cold out here!" She said and twirled.
Martha rolled her eyes and sat on the sled given to her. Jack smiled at the two best friends. He chuckled and saw they had a good friendship similar to his own with North's. The burly man always liked to act like a father to him, but they also acted more like friends. Sometimes North would do the same to him, only with something different.
Like eating too much cookie dough...
He had gotten real sick that one time and the guardians were all there for him when he wasn't up for fun.
Anyway, Martha was ready to sled when Izzy proposed a race.
Martha smirked, "Your on! Whoever makes it past that mound of snow wins!" And suddenly the two were off.
Jack called the wind to help them in the race. He even joined in; skating on the snow and turning it into ice with his feet.
Martha was in the lead as the cold wind numbed her red cheeks. Though, Izzy wasn't too far behind. When Martha saw this, she leaned to one side and said, "Eat my snow!" She laughed as the snow from her sledding headed for Izzy.
"No fair!" Izzy yelled and had to dodge being covered in it.
When she dodged, Izzy leaned forward so as to gain more speed and it was working.
Martha looked behind her and got close to Izzy to sabotage her. She ended up hitting something hidden under the snow and the two girls spun out, hitting the mound at the same time.
Jack winced a bit and went to check if they were okay.
As he checked, two heads popped from the snow in laughter. "That was fun!" Martha chuckled and then coughed. Izzy agreed as she coughed as well.
Seeing the cold was getting to them, Jack said, "Alright you two. Don't think you'd wanna get frostbite. Let's get you two inside and near the fire."
...
They arrived inside and Jack got one of the yetis to start the fire. Martha and Izzy got near it to warm up and were laughing about what happened.
Jack had gotten some coco and cookie for the girls as they warmed up. However he tried to stay away from the heat as much as possible. He is a winter spirit...
"Man, that was really fun. I wish we could do that at your place, Izzy." Martha smiled, a hint of melancholy in it.
"Yeah... I kind of miss home..." Izzy replied.
Jack seen this and felt bad for them. He had a yeti bring what he made. "Hey, girls, Phils bringing you guys some goodies if you want." He said from afar.
"Thanks." The girls replied.
"Hey, Jack." Izzy asked as she got up from her spot and walked over to him, "When are we going home?"
Jack paused, not knowing what to say exactly, "Well... We have to make sure you two are safe. Pitch might come after you two again now the he knows he can turn you two into fearlings."
Izzy frowned a bit, "Okay... Well, Martha and I can do something to help. Anything." She told Jack.
Jack was about to refuse her offer when he got a good Idea to cheer them up.
"I know just the thing." He smirked.
...
The guardians had no luck with finding Pitch, but they stopped the kids from giving up on them. With more anger in them than before, they headed back to North's workshop.
As they neared the North Pole, they were confronted by Pitch's nightmares who slowed them down it would seem.
...
At the Pole, Jack and the girls set up buckets full of paint and set them on top of doors. They also set down liquid for whomever was to enter the door. They would get covered in pink paint, slide on the water then hit the wall on the other side which would trigger another bucket that was full of feathers and sand. Jack even had a camera at the ready.
"Oh this is gonna be funny!" Jack smirked and stifled his laugh. We just gotta wait for someone to walk through that do-" He stopped when he heard something on the other side of the door.
"Oh shhh shh!" Jack told the girls thinking the guardians were back.
The door opened and the paint dropped as planned. Whoever got covered hissed and slid on the water, straight for the wall. THUD! Then the bucket full of feathers and sand dropped. The camera flashed and the three responsible began laughing.
The only problem...
It was Pitch.
...
"Watch out North!" Yelled Bunny as a nightmare headed straight for the man. North turned and sliced the nightmare in half. Tooth rammed five Nightmares making them disappear and Sandy did his thing with the nightmares as well.
They all knew what was happening and Bunny wanted to ignore the nightmares and get moving.
"We need to get back to the pole! Pitch is probably there!" He threw one of his boomerangs at a few nightmares then caught his other one.
"Sandy!" North called, having heard Bunny's concern, "You take Bunny back to the Pole and check on the girls and Jack!"
Sandman nodded and grabbed Bunny as the two left to the Pole.
...
Pitch was very angered after the so called prank the three pulled. So he threw black sand at them and Jack and Izzy dodged. Martha was too slow and the sand covered her leg as she fell to the ground.
She began to freak out and tried to push the black sand away from her. Jack shot ice at Pitch and got his feet. Izzy began laughing at this; there was no way she could take Pitch seriously with pink paint, feathers, and sand all over him.
Pitch turned and growled before throwing black sand at Izzy which made her hit the wall. "Izzy!" Martha gasped and became angry. She got up, furious with Pitch. The black sand fell off at she stood and walked to the boogeyman.
Jack had been distracting him but then he caught sight of Martha walking to him.
"Martha wa-!"
*WHAM*
Martha had punched Pitch and kicked him to the ground. "NO ONE MESSES WITH IZZY!" She glared daggers at him. If looks could kill, Pitch would be burning in the fires below.
Pitch was caught off guard by the punch and the kicking. Though, he growled and was about to do what he did to Izzy to Martha, but Jack froze his hands.
"Haha, oogey boogey, cant do nothing without your hands." Jack smirked as Martha went to see if Izzy was okay.
Pitch laughed, "That's what yo-" "Stop, man, I can't take you seriously with all that stuff on you! I even got a photo!" Jack laughed and showed him the picture.
In the photo, Pitch looked flabbergasted with all the stuff on him. Pitch growled with anger and tried to swipe the camera from Jack but his hands were frozen and he was stuck to the floor.
"Izzy, you okay?" Martha asked her as she helped Izzy up off the ground, "I got Pitch back for you."
"That crud nugget's gonna pay!" She frowned and dusted herself off.
That's when Pitch hit Jack with his iced hands, knocking him unconscious and breaking the ice over his hands. Then he broke free of the ice on his feet that kept him on the floor.
"This crud nugget is gonna kill you." Pitch threatened.
Martha stood straight, trying to make herself seem bigger. Izzy stood next to her, doing the same thing.
"Hit us with your best shot."
