OK, if you people think Jack is a bit OOC. Think on this,
In the film, Jack got walked through. This story, he didn't. So, he wouldn't have been reminded that he's invisible at the beginning of the film.
Jack has believers, before he meets the guardians and had no help from the moon. This should influence the decisions, then again, everything would.
And another thing, Jack is on, what we would call, a high after his time with the kids.
Lastly, the Guardians, and Pitch, don't know about his believers, at first. They'll be clued in, but not right away.
I do not own, Rise of the Guardians.
Which is good, I don't think I would have done a better job. I mean, look at my writing skills! They're terrible!
While I do ship Rainbow-Snowcone, I only ship them because that's what I see when I dissect the film. If I didn't get the idea that Tooth like's Jack, I wouldn't write about it.
Not that I'm going to focus on that, I'm just gonna have a bit of fun with the idea and a slightly giddy fun maker, who is coming down from his excitement... Eventually. Maebe.
Alice Through the Looking Glass
When the day becomes the night.
And the sky becomes the sea.
When the clock strikes heavy.
And there's no time for tea.
And in our darkest hour.
Before my final rhyme.
She will come back home, to wonderland.
And turn back the hands of time.
Jack, with a bright smile, jogged towards a swirling stream of golden sand that was twirling at the end of the power line.
Jumping slightly, Jack ran his had through the stream. Laughing at the little sand figures throwing sand balls at each other that sprang forth, a duo of dolphins also separated to play.
An idea struck him, and with a flick of his wrist, Jack sent some mild 'happy flakes' towards his new believers.
With that done, he turned back to the dreamsand creations. Laughing when he saw one fall over after being struck.
Smiling softly once more, Jack whispered, "I have believers." Traces of disbelief still evident in his voice.
A snowflake twirled in the air, dancing with the stream of dreamsand it was accompanying. Spinning in gust's of wind, over, under, separating before joining once more. Floating towards it's destination, the room of a flat, or, more specifically, Cupcake's bedroom window.
Just before reaching the closed window, it joined the dreamsand, diving into it and spreading the essence of fun... making it stronger.
The dream sand gained a silver, sparkling presence, as if the joy in the snowflake infected the dreamsand as well, before gliding through the closed window as if it were not there.
The dreamsand swirled above Cupcake's head, forming Cupcake on a sled ride, being chased by a unicorn. Laughing. The, nearly unnoticeable, silvery tint and the happy smile showing that the snowflake made it to her and was working it's magic.
The shadows shifted and changed, allowing a creepy chuckle to pass through, right before Pitch Black stepped forwards, out of the shadows and into the luminescent light at Cupcake's bedside.
Cupcake slept through the chuckle and his appearance, barely acknowledging him.
With a silky, mock sappy, voice, Pitch cooed "Aww, I thought I heard the clippity clop of a unicorn. Chasing the slay round in circles." Pitch leaned over the bed, before continuing in the same tone, "What an adorable dream." His attention changed to Cupcake, "And look at her. Precious child. So sweet. So full of Hope, and Wonder." He leaned down, his tone going slightly back to normal, "Why, there's only one thing missing... a touch of fear!"
Pitch pranced his fingers, as if they were legs to the hand, forwards. Before touching the dreamsand unicorn as it paraded past him, carrying a sand Cupcake hanging onto the sled.
Nothing happened.
Pitch frowned, before trying again. Poking the dreamsand solidly, making the sandy horse drop Cupcake whereupon she sledded away, silently crying out in glee.
Nothing happened again. Although, Pitch did feel something he couldn't describe, like the ending days of his reign, terrorizing the galaxy in endless fear, ohh the excitement that brought him. Or, before, something niggled at the back of his mind, before he became Pitch Black.
Shaking his head, Pitch scowled at the offending dream.
"I see, the Sandman has learned new tricks." Turning away, he stalked back into the shadows. "It matter's not, my plans can't be delayed now."
Disappearing into the shadows, Pitch Black left Cupcake to her happy dreams of racing horses and sled rides.
Jack enjoyed himself, playing with the dreamsand proved that he was still awake and hadn't imagined the day that had just gone by.
But, like all things that came to be, the dreamsand slowed down before stopping. It moved on, as it had no more need to stay.
Jack stared up at where the dreamsand retreated to, where he knew the Sandman was enjoying the peaceful view on top of his dream cloud. His gaze remained soft as he gave silent thanks for the Sandman's ever calming watch.
He was startled from his thoughts when a shadow dashed just within his peripheral vision, right behind him. Glancing to where he thought the shadow went before realizing it had actually gone the other direction. Flicking his staff up, Jack launched himself towards the roof of the house after the shadow, followed onto a tree branch before stopping and searching for the disturbance. It wasn't a human, too quite.
Another shadow flew in the other direction and Jack managed to dart after it down the lane, jumping onto a car before letting the Wind take him to where the shadow went. He pushed himself off the street line when he got too close before landing on top of another building, weaving over sections before landing on the roof of a goods transporter.
Jack kept his guard up, staff crossed diagonally across his body, ready to lash out or defend while he peered about himself. Another shadow rushed about when his back was turned, causing a steel bin to fall over. Spinning around, he jumped off the vehicle in the direction the latest distraction had been.
Keeping his guard up, Jack spun around slowly, searching for the cause of the uneasiness. When he turned back towards the vehicle he had just came off of, a voice spoke up, gruffly.
"Hello, mate."
Jack flicked his staff towards the alleyway and after a brief moment to see who it was. Whoever it was had a boomerang in his hands, that they spun around quickly before continuing.
"Been a long time, '68 I believe."
The figure pulled itself forwards, out of the shadows while pointing they're boomerang at Jack. Revealing...
"Easter Sunday wasn't it?" Asked E. Aster Bunnymund. Glowering at Jack in open minded hostility at remembering the encounter.
Jack blinked then lowered his staff, leaning against it with an amused smirk. "Bunny, you not still mad about that... are you?"
Bunny leaned forwards and dangled the arm with the boomerang. "Yes," Bunny spun his boomerang up, held it for a moment, then pulled it in front of him. "But this is about something else..." he smirked slightly, before calling out, "Fella's!"
A furry hand snatched Jack up, one of the yeti's said something before he was shoved into a sack another one was carrying. After a second where one of the yeti's opened a portal, Jack was thrown through.
Jack tumbled around inside the bag, jostled by the portal and pretty much getting tangled, dizzy and confused.
When the bag stopped flipping over itself, Jack started searching for the exit.
Finding the entrance/exit, he came face to face with, well, elves.
In a hushed, stage whisper, he heard.
"He's here!" The elves in front of him separated to let him out, "Quite."
A female voice was rattling off names as he slowly pushed the bag over his head, facing 3 of the 'Big Four'.
North stepped forwards, and spoke clearly, "Heyyy, there he is," Tooth spun around to face him while Sandy smiled in comfortable silence, "Jack Frost!"
Tooth darted closer to North, trying to get a better look at Jack, who was stareing around, bewildered.
"Whoa... I didn't see that coming." Jack murmured to himself.
Anything else he might of said was cut off by a pair of yeti's grabbing him roughly by the shoulders and heaving him up.
"Whoa, er, put me down." The yeti's dropped him onto his feet, where he walked forwards and flipped his staff into his hands using his foot. A yeti swiped a bit of dirt from Jack's back before he waved him off.
North spoke up again, hands on his hips, "Hope the yeti's treated you well."
Jack couldn't help the grin trickle onto his face, "Ohh, yea." He chuckled slightly, "I love being," He than deadpanned, "stuffed in a sack and tossed through a magic portal."
Noth, being the Jolly Man, either took it as a joke or was oblivious, Jack couldn't tell with the amusement shining in his eyes. Probably oblivious, but he wasn't going to put money on it.
"Oh! Good, that was my idea." North exclaimed, almost happily.
He than became serious, waving a hand to Bunnymund, "You know Bunny, obviously."
Jack nodded slightly, uh humming, before echoing North, "Obviously."
North gestured towards the other legendary figure, "And the Tooth Fairy?" It was more of a statement by the tone of the voice, but Jack took it as a question.
Right before Tooth flew up to him and said, almost giddily, "Hello Jack," she flew around him until she was facing the opposite direction to where she started, "I've heard a lot about you..." Tooth made a face that Jack could only describe as slightly childish, with shiny eyes and giddy grin, "And your teeth!"
All Jack could do was blink confusedly, this was not what he was expecting with these circumstance's.
"My... my what?" He stuttered, wondering how his teeth were of any importance to someone as busy as the Tooth Fairy.
Tooth edged forwards, flaying her hands around in Jacks general direction while exclaiming.
"Open up!" She swooped forwards, completely ignoring his personal space, and poked her fingers in his mouth. Altogether, a bewildering and uncomfortable experience.
Searching his teeth, Tooth started speaking, fast, "Are they really as white as they say? Yes!" Tooth's feathered crest flared as she gasped the last word, "Ahh," Tooth withdrew from his mouth, a look of adoration in her eyes, as if he kept them sparkling just for her.
Pulling her arms together in front of her and holding a wrist, "They really do sparkle like freshly fallen snow!"
The pair of mini tooth fairy's squealed, covering their mouths with their hands. Jack let a small chuckle escape his mouth, before daring it and subtly winked at the one that was still paying attention to him while Tooth exclaimed, "Girls, pull yourselves together." Wagging her finger at the mini tooth's, "Let's not disgrace the uniform."
Tooth flew off, leaving the one Jack winked at staring dreamily at him. Not moving.
Jack chuckled again when he saw the look, and then gesturing towards Tooth. The mini tooth nodded absently and then flew after Tooth, still looking at Jack, much to Tooths exasperation and irritation.
North continued as if nothing happened, "And Sandman," the Sandman was drifting lazily, asleep, next to North, "Sandy?" North tapped the Sandman's shoulder, "Sandy." Then suddenly, he yelled, "Wake up!"
The Sandman dropped silently onto the ground, while sleepily opening his eyes.
Before North could continue, and probably introduce Jack to Sandy, Jack interrupted.
"Hay, oh. Anyone wanna tell me why I'm here?" Jack asked, turning to involve everyone before him.
Sandy lifted his hand to grab Jacks attention, which he promptly got, before using pictograms, hand signals and facial expressions to try and tell Jack his answer while Jack knelt down in front of him to get a better view.
However, the symbols and pictograms went by too fast for Jack to catch anything more than a glimpse of before another showed up, while his hands fell to his sides after a while and his facial features scrunched up in concentration.
After a while, Jack pulled a hand up to calm Sandy down a bit.
"Err, tha, heh, that's not really helping, but, but thanks little man."
Turning away from the group, Jack meandered away, saying, I must have done something."
He flicked his staff down and picked the Elf that was offering cookies to him up in the crook and then placing his staff over his shoulders, leaving the tray to fall on the floor and the cookies to roll about while the Elf hung from the staff and swinging it's feet. Jack had to chuckle at the way the Elf reminded him of young children, before returning his attention back to the conversation, "Really bad to get you four together."
He suddenly turned around, making the Elf cling onto the staff to keep safe, all the while it had a gleeful expression on it's face. A grin threatened to show at the look he saw on the other immortals faces, Jack guessed, almost innocently, "Am I on the Naughty list?"
North shook his head as if to clear something, before exclaiming, "Ha, ON naughty list?" He turned serious, pointing at Jack, "You hold the record."
North continued before Jack could make a comment, "But, no matter, we overlook. Now, we are wiping clean the slate."
Jack slumped jokingly, "And I worked so hard for that place. Ahh well," turning to look at the surprised North, making the Elf grab onto the staff with a giggle emanating from it, he continued with interest, "How come?"
"Huh, good question." Bunney murmured sarcastically, Jack ignored him over North.
"How come?" North pointed at him, "I tell you how come! Because now," North stepped back while a pair of yeti's flanked him, waving his hands in the air, "You are Guardian!"
The yeti's lifted torches ceremoniously while trumpets started sounding, then suddenly, as if the music summoned them, elves started parading around the ground around him, leaving Jack to wonder, what the hell was happening, and if it was contagious.
Sandy seemed to be amused by the spectacle while Jack couldn't see the other's expressions he doubted they were any different.
Feeling bewildered by the sudden music and lights and noise, Jack instead focused on something less flashy, like the necklace a pair of mini tooths were flying towards him with. Pulling his hand up to stop them, Jack dropped the Elf that was in the crook of his staff, making it run away crying silently. The mini tooths pulled back before looking down, seemingly upset by his refusal.
North said something about the 'Best part', but Jack didn't quite hear him over the racket everyone was making.
Stepping back when the yeti's with their torches came too close for comfort before being forced back into position when they came round behind him. When the Elves, and therefore the noise, came too close for Jack's current state of mind, he stumbled back a bit before being caught by the yeti's, pulling him back onto his feet.
Looking down at his feet, Jack noticed a Elf with a serious expression pointing at a pair of... shoes!? Jack didn't know how to react to that, if it was a joke the punchline should come up soon.
An official looking yeti came up to North ceremoniously with a tome on a platform that the yeti was holding, as if afraid to actually touch the tome itself.
Handing the tome to North, who picked it up with a nod of the head while the yeti bowed low to.
Jack was searching for any signs that it was all a big joke, the mini tooths fairy's expressions were like lovestruck teanagers and Sandy only saluted silently with his mug while Bunny seemed bored and slightly exasperated. Feeling annoyed at the lack of grins to show it was a joke, Jack brought his staff up, causing North's eyes to widen slightly, before slamming it down into the ground.
A wind picked up and slammed into everything in front of him, while ice covered the floor, extinguishing the torches and sending everyone sliding backwards in shock. Apart from Tooth, who was flying at the time, she tumbled backwards.
The room went silent for a moment, with North peeking over the top of his oversized book and the others looking at Jack cautiously, and then Jack stepped forwards, gesturing wildly.
"What makes you think I wanna be a Guardian?" Asked Jack, slightly contemptuous. Tooth and Sandy seemed shocked and slightly hurt, while Bunny scowled at him with crossed arms and North's eyes twinkled in amusement.
While Jack was thinking about the hurt looks and, maybe, apologising to the 2, he wasn't really surprised by Bunny's expression or posture but found it really insulting that North, seemingly, couldn't take things seriously. And people tell him to take things seriously!
North threw his head back and started laughing, like Jack had told a brilliant joke, while the other 3 alternatively looked between North and Jack cautiously, seemingly surprised by the sudden outburst.
Sandy and Tooth seemed to take him, at least, a little bit seriously. Bunny seemed to think he was joking as well, if the slight twitch of his mouth meant anything.
North closed the tome, attracting Jack's attention back to him, before saying, "Of course you do." In a matter of fact tone.
Tooth's lip twitched in anxiousness, if Jack had to guess, before she ducked away from Norths flaying arms while he exclaimed.
"Music!"
Jack interrupted the Elves before they could really start, spreading his arms out to calm them down. "No, music!"
One of the Elf's threw their trumpet down onto the ground and stomped off, but Jack ignored it.
I'm gonna be cruel and leave it there, Wahahahaha.
*Whack*
Ouch!
(I take nothing back!)
I'll get you for that. Mark my word's!
[Consider them marked :-)]
*fumming* Ohhhhhh.
Riddle's!;
What has four fingers and a thumb, but is not living?
I have key's, but no locks.
I have space, but no room.
You can enter, but can't go outside.
What am I?
I will leave it at those 2, I'm told they're hard. Somewhat.
Until next time, adios amigos!
