I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!

"Crystal, to your left!" Jack yelled as I turned to the left and dodged a chunk of ice. My mom said that Rick will have arrows coming from every direction so we all need to be ready. So, as Jack likes to put it, we're in 'training'. I like how he has his 5-year-old moments. It's cute. So far we've been doing this for 5 hours...No I'm not exaggerating.

"Another lesson! Help eachother. If you see the other in danger, warn or help them. Don't leave them on their own!" My mom yelled.

"Got it!" Jack and I yelled at the same time. We're not the only ones in 'training'. My moms making us all get ready for when Rick comes.

I sighed. "Mom? Can we take a break? We've been doing this for hours! My wings are starting to cramp." I whimpered. My mom looked at me and noticed that my wings were starting to turn gray. Yeah...did I mention that they do that when they get worn out? All the other guardians were tired too. Jack was leaning on his staff, panting. Tooth was gasping for breath. North was about to fall asleep. Sandy IS asleep. And Bunnymund...wasn't even tired...

"Fine. Take a break." Jack, Tooth, and I all fell to the ground, panting.

"Oh thank goodness!" Tooth gasped, "Thought we'd never get a break."

A couple minutes later, everyone has caught their breaths. Though I still needed some fresh air. "Hey, Jack. I'm going outside. You wanna come?" He immediately shot up and flew beside me.

"Right here next to you." I laughed.

"Well come on, then." I grabbed his hand and pulled him out the door.

Tooth smiled. "Nothing means love like 2 immortal 18 year olds in danger, fighting to protect each other."

"Where are we going?" Jack asked as I led him through the forest. I had to walk because my wings were still worn out. Jack's taunting me with his flying. Well, he's not meaning to. But he is, nonetheless.

"Guess. You know this place!" I giggled. Boys are SO oblivious.

"Jamie's house?" I slapped my palm to my forehead.

"Wow, I didn't realize that Jamie lived in the woods!" He rolled his eyes and kept on flying. I glared at him. He looked at me, confuzzed.

"What did I do?" He questioned.

"Stop flying. It's bothering me." I grumbled. He pouted. He better not be doing what I think he's gonna do...

"I'm sorry." He whimpered...with the kicked puppy eyes...Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! I can't resist those eyes.

"I...uh..." I stuttered.

"Pwease forgive mwe." He pouted. You would think that this effect would wear off after all these years but sadly, it doesn't.

"F-f-fine. I forgive you. But only if you stop flying."

"Deal!"

5 seconds later...

"Do you know where we're going now?" I asked the white-haired boy. I am getting very annoyed. We've been going here since we were who knows how old! Minus 300 years...

"The meadow." He didn't hesitate before answering. It's like he knew it all along...Wait, a stinkin' minute!

"You know all along, didn't you?"

"Yep."

"Should've known."

In the meadow...

WOO-HOO! My wings are normal again! Which meant a race between me and Jack to the meadow. And he beat me...again...Right now, we were sitting at the bottom of the tree, his head on my lap.

This place brings back lots of memories. When I'm here, it's just like before. Like we never died. It feels like any moment we would hear Lilly or Lynette calling mine or Jack's name. But that will never happen again.

"Cryssy?" Jack asked.

"Hmm?"

"If you could go back and change what happened, would you?" Sorry, but I don't exactly understand your question.

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"Like, if you could go back and time and stop me from ever going skating, or stop yourself from ever telling me that you were abused, would you?" I sighed. If I had to think of an answer right on the spot, it would be...

"I wouldn't change what happened because...I said this once to Lilly, we all have a plan in life. Sometimes it may not make sense or if it seems right, but we just have to go along with it. It really hurt to see Lilly cry after I died and I didn't even know why she was crying. I wanted to help her but I couldn't. When I blew a snowflake into her eyes, she just said 'I must be hallucinating. You're not real.' I didn't know what she meant by that. For weeks and month after that happened, I saw her again. She was crying at the lake. She said 'Crystal said that we all have a plan in life, but how can this be my plan?! You and Crystal are both dead! Never coming back! what am I suppose to do? I need your help! Please!'. I had no idea who she was talking to or why she said my name. But she threw my own words back at me. We all have a plan in life whether we like it or not. So no, I wouldn't change what happened."

"Wow...even though what you just said is completely true, I still hate that I hurt her like that." He said.

"We both hate that we hurt her. After we died, she closed herself out from the world. She wouldn't speak to anyone, she never went swimming, and whenever someone said one of our names, she would burst into tears. And Claire didn't help her either. Actually...I saw Lilly kicking and hitting her one time...Wait, woops...my bad." I said, remembering some of my last words to Lilly before I died.

"Stop it, please." Jack whimpered, "Don't talk about it." Aw man, now I'm just making him feel worse. Some girlfriend I am.

"Sorry. I'm not really helping you, am I? Ya' know, telling you about her pain...I hate myself..." I winced.

"Ah, yes. You did put her through alot of pain." A dark voice sneered.

"What the-?" Suddenly, black dust took over the meadow. What's going on? Jack and I started coughing.

A dark figure started to come out of the shadows, "And the sound of her crying was music to my ears!"

He gave a evil laugh before black dust started coming towards us from every direction. Oh no..."Rick..."I whispered.

"Crystal! Look out!" Jack yelled as he pushed me out of the way.

"Thanks!" We both got up and starting chucking waves of ice in every direction.

"Oh you want to fight? Normally I wouldn't decline but I have something else in mind." More dust started coming. Mom told me about the dust. If it touches you, it knocks you out. the dust started creeping it's way over towards Jack while he was distracted.

"Jack!" It was too late. Before I could even catch up on what was happening, he fell to the ground.

"NO!" I was too distracted to notice black dust coming my way from behind. Before even I knew it, I was knocked out.

When I woke up, my hands were chained to the wall behind me. What's going on? Where's Jack? Is he alright?

I saw nothing. I was in a pitch black room(PUN INTENDED). I saw nothing but darkness. I heard a groan from in front of me. I blinked a couple times for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. Once they did, I saw the figure.

"Jack?" He was in the same position I was in. His hands were chained to the wall, too. Great, I didn't see a single scratch on him.

"C-Crystal? What's going on? Where are we? Wait...Where's my staff?!" He panicked. Oh no. Rick can't break it. Jack told me that when it breaks, all he feels is pain and agony. I can't stand to see him go through that.

"Ah, you'll know in due time, dear Jack." Rick said as he came out of the shadows. The room lit up a bit more so I could see his face. Aw, it's as ugly as I can remember! Okay, so I can't look him in the eye...

"Where are we? What do you want, you jerk(Not allowed to use bad words. But for those of you who are, feel free to change it in your mind. ~Scarlett)?" I sneered.

"Now, now, Cryssy. That's no way to treat your own father." Oh no he didn't!

"Don't call her that!" Jack snapped. Yay, he's defending his rights to my nickname! In a blink of an eye, Rick was behind Jack, holding his head up so you could see his neck. What scared me most was that he had a knife held at Jack's throat.

"Aw, look. You're defending your little girlfriend. That's so sweet." He skimmed the knife across his throat, but didn't cut it. He pointed the pointy part of the knife at his throat and trailed it up to his chin, leaving a little red line. I felt sweat dripping down from my face. I was scared to death! It was causing me pain just watching this. Rick let Jack's head go and Jack let out a breath he had been holding. I was happy, though I was still tense.

"That feels heavenly." Rick said. What is he talking about?

"What are you talking about?" More dust started to surround him. What's going on?

"Haven't you noticed?" I shook my head but still managed a glare.

"What kills you, makes me stronger."

PUN INTENDED!

Also, COUPLE NAME! Crystal+Jack=...CRACK!

My top 2 favorite quotes.

1. Lilo- "Every Thursday I take Pudge the fish a peanut butter sandwich."

Guy- "Pudge is a fish?"

Lilo- "And today we were out of peanut butter! So I asked my sister what to give him and she said a tuna sandwich! I can't give Pudge Tuna! Do you know what tuna is?"

Guy- "It's fish?"

Lilo- "It's fish! If I gave Pudge Tuna, I'd be an abomination! I'm late because I had to go to the store and get peanut butter, because all we have is-is stinkin' tuna!"

Guy- "Lilo, Lilo, why is this so important to you?"

Lilo- "Pudge controls the weather."

It's touching because the reason she does that is because her parents died in a car crash in a bad storm. Keep Pudge happy. The weather will be fine and the accident won't happen again to her or Nani.

FAVORITE QUOTE 2

"Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." ~Various people. Also, keep an eye out for a Lilo and Stitch/RotG crossover! Jack runs into Lilo and she teaches him the meaning of Ohana.
