Im giving Jack a little depth in this chapter, by giving him something I can kinda picturing him having...
It's a bit different to my other ones, with a focus on a different side of Jack, and hopefully they all remain in character... You'll have to let me know what you think though :D :D

Oh, and this is set a week or so after the end of the Prank War...

Jack sighed as he recalled his promise with the Fairies, but knew he wasn't going to try and get out of it. A deal was a deal after all. What they didn't know was that he was going to go all out with this, and give them a show to remember.
So, armed with a copy of Romeo and Juliet, he head up to the room he had told them to meet him in. A room with a piano, which he was also planning on using. Baby Tooth had told him they were all perfectly happy to let him do things his way, and he grinned as he realised that the reason he humoured them like this was because he considered each of them to be tiny little, fawning... well, was sisters the word when they kept stalking him?
Ah well, he shoved the door open and nearly rolled his eyes as he realised that every surface was covered with the small fairies, or the ones that could take time away that is...
It was a good thing that the others guardians were busy... He wouldn't hear the end of it if they heard him...
He sighed, and sat himself down on the piano stool, grinning.
"Okay then, let's see what we can do..."
He scanned the book till he got to the scene he knew they all wanted, and let one of his older accents take over, which had most of the fairies swooning before he could even begin. He rolled his eyes, letting them recover before starting.

"But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief that thou art more fair than she. But not her maid, since she is envious..."
He continued to the end of that passage, then, at the word cheek, grinned as the entire room swooned.
Then he blinked. Hmm, why not go all out Shakespeare? Instead of continuing with Romeo and Juliet, he scanned the back of the book for a sonnet, and grinned when he found a very familiar one.
"Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? Thou are more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds to shake the darling buds of May, and..."
He read the sonnet, ignoring the fact that it was about summer, and sighed as he finished, closing the book. Honestly. Even Baby Tooth, normally more immune to him, was swooning a little herself, both at the accent and the words and the meaning and just in general, but managed to pull herself together as Jack whispered in her ear.
She thought for a second, and then flew around the room, getting votes in.
She came back saying that it was a direct tie, which was kind of impossible, considering there were three options and and 197 fairies in the room, but Baby Tooth had those eyes that she very rarely used, and he simply rolled his eyes before spinning to the piano, flexing his fingers.
So, first things first. Hmm, which song to do... He grinned, deciding on the order, and started playing the intro notes to Windmills of your mind.

Unknown to him, all of the other guardians, aside from Bunny, were outside the door, having been smiling about the whole thing, and all were astounded when Jack not only played the Piano perfectly, and with a magical quality that they could only dream of, but also when he started singing, his voice carrying lilting tones and an almost magical array of sounds, that gave the song a beautiful, yet haunting quality.
Tooth, much like her fairies who were inside the room, was teary at the beauty of it, and was not alone in wondering just how the winter spirit had learnt to play the piano, or how he had such a wonderful voice. It seemed to carry the very embodiment of the song... carrying so much emotion and depth...
Sandy had gone into a dream state himself, and North realised he was recording it in his mind, possibly for use in dreams, and he couldn't blame him...
The boy was just... Wow...

The next song was a piano solo, but held just as much beauty as the previous song. None of them recognised it.
As Jack's fingers flew over the keys, he failed to notice as Tooth and Sandy crept into the room, crouching down at the back, as North stayed outside, fearful of distracting the young guardian.
Tooth was entranced by the beauty of the music, and way Jack's fingers danced over the piano keys, and she was told by Baby Tooth that it was Jack's own composition. So, he not only played music, he wrote it? The music seemed to capture the very spirit of winter, and Tooth was clueless as to how he could do it... Sandy had to yank her down to avoid being spotted by Jack, as he span, a grin on his face which faded to concern as he saw the devotion on the fairies faces.
"Hey, you alright guys?" His voice held a lilting accent they had never heard before, and Baby Tooth chirped, telling him to get a move on with the next one.
He rolled his eyes, and turned back to the Piano, flexing his fingers in preparation for the final song, before realising he wasn't sure what he wanted to play. The choice had been for the other two, and then a random song, but he had no idea what to play.
Then he stopped as the wind whispered to him. Huh... Spinning, he caught the tell tale sight of Tooth's feathers, and found that, instead of being annoyed, he was grinning.
"Hey Tooth, Sandy... You still out there North?"
The three of them looked embarrassed at being caught out, and North rubbed his neck.
"Err... Sorry Jack..."
"It's fine... Actually, I need a hand. I promised them three songs, and I can't think of another one..."
He winked at Baby Tooth, knowing she wanted a particular song though she wouldn't tell him what it was, who chirped and whispered into Tooth's ear.
Tooth grinned, and nodded.
"Hey, What about Can you feel the Love tonight? Ya know, from that guy... Bolton or something?"
"Like the proper version?"
She nodded, and Jack raised an eyebrow at Baby Tooth.
"All this time, you wanted me to sing... Disney?"
She chirped, and he rolled his eyes.
"Alright then... Hang on..."
He mimed a few notes before grinning,
"Okay, I got it..."
He started playing the intro melody, and started to let the music flow before singing.

A few minutes later, the final note drifted away into silence, and Jack, now feeling a little self conscious, gestured randomly.
"So... What do you think?"
Aside from the small fairies that were staring at him in a dreamy state, everyone started complimenting him with half formed compliments that could never truly explain how amazing it was, and eventually, North's voice boomed out.
"Right! Is time to get back to work now. I am sure Jack has things to do also?"
The guardian nodded, grateful, and the room emptied, leaving Jack alone with the other guardians.
Tooth gave him a smile that said more than words ever could, before she flew out after her fairies, and North simply patted him on the back, telling him that the room and everything in it-the piano, guitars, and all of the other instruments- was his whenever he wanted to use it.
Jack finally settled down, and Sandy started signing. It took a few seconds before Jack realised what the guardian wanted, and he raised an eyebrow.
"You want me to play music for dreams?"
Sandy nodded, eagerly, and Jack blinked, shocked.
"Oh... Well... I-er... I could, I guess..."
Only if you want to.
"I'd be honoured... Truly, I would. But don't you make dreams out of desires?"
Yes and no. Sometimes I twist in memories of stars... adds magic to a dream. Your music would as well...Could you write to match space?
"Write music to fit with the idea of space? As in stars, eternity, things like that?"
Calm, yet hopeful... Yes...
"I'll give it a shot..."
Sandy gave him a hug, and they both flew out the window, before splitting off to do their own tasks.

A few hours later, Jack was back at the pole, and it wasn't long before the entire place was filled with music. It stopped, changed, got blended and turned into something different and new each time the music sounded, but eventually began to morph into something beautiful. And if North had to sum it up in one word, it would be hope. Baby Tooth, having had a hunch Jack would head back, was recording the entire thing. From the first simple notes, through to the music that told of hope, onto the final piece. North had long since given up creating things, and was sat listening as it morphed from Hope into something more. Now hope, but also happiness, inspiration, freedom, fun... It was a bright future summed up in music.
Moon did that kid have talent...
Eventually, the music quietened down, and North returned to work, a smile across his face.

Sandy flew through the window just as Jack gave a hmm, that clearly translated as 'Should I make it... more? Or is it enough...?', then blinked as he saw the guardian.
"Oh, hey... I've tried to do that song you wanted..."
He didn't even have to sign to let Jack know he wanted him to play it, and the younger guardian flexed his fingers, taking a deep breath.
"Okay..."
Sandy was shocked... well, speechless didn't seem to fit- as he listened to what was being played.
And Jack had done it in only a matter of hours...?
He was drinking it all in, stowing it away into dreams, knowing that they would be some of the best he had ever created with the help of the music, and he also watched as Jack seemed to let the music flow through him.
It was incredible...
The final note faded away, and Sandy floated there, staring at Jack, before making a gold explosion of clapping, horns, fireworks and roses, which had Jack jumping back and falling out of his seat, before laughing and floating back to his feet.
"You like it?"
Sandy tapped his head, signing quickly, and Jack blinked.
"You've put it into dreams already...?"
Sandy nodded, grinning widely, before heading out, and gesturing for Jack to follow him.
Being a genius must make you hungry...?
Jack laughed, as he followed him down, not noticing Baby Tooth flying away with the recorder...

It appeared that there was a fan club amongst the Yeti's as well, who were all known for their love of music, though their leader refused to let his identity be known. Jack stowed it away in his mind, determined to find out who it was, before heading through to find North pretty much dancing around the study, pieces of paper floating everywhere and pinned to every surface, plans for new toys covering them.
"Ah, Jack! Your music is inspiring! Helped me create all of these designs... I am not sure how you do it, Jack, but keep doing it, da?"
Jack laughed as he grabbed a cookie, and flew up to the rafters, only glad Bunny wasn't here for all of this. A couple of hours later, and the same thought had apparently crossed North's mind, causing him to stop leaping about.
"Sandy! We must fetch Bunny! He loves music..."
Jack choked on a mouthful of cookie, falling from the beam and landing with a crash on the floor, only avoiding a few bruises because Sandy had slowed him down.
"Tell Bunny? I'd never hear the end of it!"
"Relax Jack. Bunny is big enjoyer of music."
"B-But... But..."
Sandy gave Jack a nod, and he rolled his eyes.
"So I'm being ganged up on by the older generation... Great..."
North gave an indignant huff at that, and Sandy grinned, signing.
Not your best insult...
Shut up...
I'm not talking.
Then... "Damn it, why can I never stop sighing? It's ridiculous!"
Sandy nodded, and eventually, at the huge grin, Jack gave in and smiled too.
"Yeah, right. Whatever... But North!" he whined, but was cut short as Bunny burst into the room, grinning like a maniac.
"Okay, so it's a normal day till Baby Tooth shows up, and I get to see this!"
Jack's face fell at the sight of the tape recorder, and he saw the tell tale sign of wings fluttering behind Bunny.
"Traitor..." he muttered, and Bunny grinned.
"I heard that frostbite, and I'm bettin' she did too... So anyway, I figured I'd head over and ask just how the hell ya can be such a great musician without us knowin about it?"
Jack blinked.
"... What?"
"The music. Jeez Frostbite, ya got some serious talent."
"Indeed he has." North said, and grinned, "But you have heard nothing yet Bunny."
Jack blinked again, then grinned.
"Neither have you, North. There was a reason behind the legend of The Phantom of the Opera... I've been playing music for a long time you know."
With that, he strolled out, leaving the other three blinking, before Bunny turned on the other two.
"Care t' explain?"
North shrugged.
"Well, it all started with Shakespeare, and Romeo and Juliet..."

Hmmm... Should I have a fic where the identity of the Leader of the Yeti Fanclub revealed? Do any of you have any idea who it is?
Oh, and any more ideas for the later chapters? I NEED INSPIRATION GUYS! :D :D
And sorry it wasn't the best one yet, but hope it was enjoyable anyway...?

Anyway, Next couple of fics:
Gonna be having a nice Guardian christmas, gifts and all...
Pitch will return, and will again be planning on ruining Easter, this time with a new weapon to aid him... (Possibly going to be another two or three part fic, but will not be long between updates if it is :D )
Maybe a fic with the kids from Burgess? (What do you guys think? I don't want it to be all cliche...)

Either way, please review and let me know what you think of this chapter and possible future ones!
