Jack has Australian accent! Yeah, that's right... But that isn't all.
This chapter will have shocked guardians, swooning fairies, accents, singing, music, stories about Jack's past, a visit to Jamie... everything that I could cram in, really. Hope you all enjoy!

Oh, and thanks to theyleaveshadows, LittleRedRiddingWolf, Ren O'neil, Autumn Amber, majestic-beauty-sealed-in-ice (sorry, wouldn't let me type the name with the full-stops...), werekit, julie93 and Mahou Chibi kitsune for the follows and/or faves and thanks to The Dark Lady55 for faving both me and the story!

They all stared at him. Bunny, North, Tooth, Sandy and even Phil. The fairies likely would have too, but they were all dazed from exposure to the sheer shock and swoon-worthiness of what Jack had just done.
So yes, they all stared at him in utter shock, but Bunny? He was... well. His mouth was opening and closing so much he looked like a goldfish. Quite impressive for a huge Rabbit, Jack thought. Then sighed.
"What? What's so astounding?"
Bunny was the first to speak... though it wasn't so much speaking as stuttering.
"Y-You... you have... you... have an... you... accent..."
Jack rolled his eyes.
"Good, now try to string more than two words together, Kangaroo..."
Of course, the little fairies in the room, having just recovered from the first time Jack had spoke in this new-or rather-old accent of his, promptly swooned again.
Tooth shook her head, a smile beginning to form.
"Jack? Just how many accents do you have?"
Jack shrugged.
"It'd take a while to count... But quite a few."
"And you never thought to let us know that you..." she coughed, hiding her giggle, "...that you could go Australian?"

Ten Minutes Earlier...

Jack scowled as Bunny started going into an even stronger Australian accent than usual, in an attempt to shield what he was saying.
"Won't work, Bunny. I can understand every word."
"Oh really? D'ya think sa mate?"
"I do think so."
"Well, we'll hav'ta see aba' that then, won't we, eh?"
Jack grinned.
"Damn right."
A few minutes later, and the other three guardians were looking between the two, completely clueless to what Bunny as saying, but astonished that Jack seemed to understand perfectly.
Bunny was likewise astounded, and kept up the strength of his accent for a further five minutes until he finally gave up and returned to normal.
"What the 'ell, Frostbite? How'd ya do that?"
Jack grinned, an internal struggle warring.
Do I...? Don't I...?
This struggle went on for a matter of seconds, until Jack shrugged, grinning.
"I dunno mate, must be the Auzzie in me, eh?"
There was a moment of utter shock, before fairies swooned, Tooth gasped in delight, North stared, Sandy got himself surrounded by dozens of golden question and exclamation marks, and Bunny just blinked.

And that was how Jack found himself facing a bunny/goldfish, three more stunned guardians and a huge, surprised, Yeti, with a dozen swooning fairies for good measure.
He grinned. Might as well go for all it was worth, right?
"Look, I really don't know what ya problem is with an accent? I mean, it ain't like it's the first time I've eva' used one, right?"
It had initially been quite rugged, but just those few words had worked the accent up to something pretty decent, and Bunny gestured to the sofa, completely bemused.
"A'right, this a story I wanna hear, Frostbite..."
Jack grinned, settling back, and dropped the accent-to several dismayed squeals from fairies- as he started telling his story.
"Well, about half a century after I became a spirit, I decided to experiment with visiting warmer climates. I soon found that with places that were not too close to the equator and were near the sea, where it was cooler, were places I could stay for quite a while. I actually became quite fond of Australia, what with the peace and quiet in some places, and visited regularly, even if I had to stay really near the coast. Then, about thirty years ago, I visited for the first time in ages, and heard the accent for the first time..."
"Ya'd never heard the accent before?" Bunny asked, surprised, and Jack shrugged.
"I know, I would have thought I'd have heard it before as well, but it as honestly the first time. With the other accents and languages I can do, it wasn't hard for me to pick it up and... well, yeah. I had one more accent to add to my arsenal. And man, your faces just then were worth every second."
He laughed as he leapt out of reach of Bunnymund's paws and was accosted by fairies, just like the Pooka had planned.
Jack had to admire the plan, even as he glared at him.

A few hours later, and Jack flew up to Jamie's bedroom window, tapping on the glass.
Jamie looked up, then grinned, throwing the window open so Jack could float inside.
"Jack! You haven't visited in ages."
"Yeah... Sorry kiddo. I've been busy..."
"That's alright. You came at the perfect time actually!"
"Yeah...?"
"Yeah! I have maths homework!"
Jack sighed as he let himself get dragged to the desk, and had a sheaf of paper stuck in front of him.
They worked at the sheets for an hour, Jack giving Jamie a hand with the equations and what not, until Jamie finally gave a sigh.
"Finally! I thought that was going to go on forever!"
But Jack' attention had been caught by another sheet of homework.
"Jack? Helloooooo? Anyone in there?"
"Hmm? Oh, sorry Jamie. Is this your French homework?"
Jamie nodded, face turning glum.
"Yeah. But I can't do it, no matter how hard I try."
Jack gave a grin and picked up the sheet.
"Dans la magazin, tu achete...? Oh, it's a 'matching the items' exercise. Whoopie for you. Come on, Kiddo, let's get it done..."
"... You speak French?"
"Meh, I had a craze for Paris a few decades ago. You learn to pick things up. Eventually became fluent just as I returned to a liking for Australia. Il y a un problem avec ca?"
"What?"
"I said, is there a problem with that?"
"Oh. Nope, no complaints here. Can you help me with French then?"
"Course. Let's start by getting this lot done, shall we? Hmm... Question une... Quel age..."

Three hours later, evening was just beginning to fall over Santoff Claussen as Jack arrived back.
He called Hi to North as he flew past his study, did the same to various elves and yeti's and sighed as he reached the music room, which North had arranged into something which could easily be considered a musicians dream as a surprise for Jack, and he sat himself down at the Piano.
But this time, he didn't sing his usual kinds of music, he started singing in French instead.
Of course, Sandy chose this moment to arrive and immediately started filtering the sounds away.
North, in his study, was almost as surprised as he had been when Jack had started spouting an Australian accent, and got to his feet, making his way up.
No-one noticed the Yeti, wearing a balaclava to protect his identity, following them up with a video recorded. The leader of Jack's fan Club was not going to let this opportunity pass him by.
Jack didn't realise that North and Sandy were there until he finished the song, and span, rolling his eyes.
"Est tu Serious? Tu- Sorry. Reflex. You two could give someone a heart attack sneaking up like that."
North laughed.
"Sorry Jack, but when the best musician in the northern hemisphere starts singing French music, you don't really have a choice but to listen. I didn't know you spoke French?"
Jack shrugged, rolling his eyes and blushing ever so slightly at the compliment.
"I spent most of my spare time in the country for a few decades about... ooh, a century ago? Language has kinda changed, but you pick up on it. Just got inspired by Jamie's French homework."
Sandy began signing.
What other languages do you speak?
Jack started counting them off on his fingers.
"I'm practically fluent in Spanish, German, French, Italian and Japanese... What? Their culture is one of the best in the world!" He rolled his eyes, before continuing, "I can kinda speak a bit of Greek and Latin, from when I got bored and started a reading frenzy. Oh, and a bit of Russian and Welsh and a few others. Not very well though..."
North grinned.
"We can remedy the Russian, da?"
Jack grinned.
"Sure. Could be веселье..."
North laughed, making his way out.
"Could be fun indeed, Jack. I shall leave you to it for now then."
"See you later North."
Sandy grinned as North left and started signing.
Jack grinned as he translated.
"You want music for other dreams? I thought you already spoke pretty much every language that has ever been in existence...?"
Yes, but I don't think it fair that English speaking countries can benefit from your music if other's cant? It's not very fair on them at all Jack...
He gave such a sorrowful look that Jack had to laugh and nod.
"Okay, I'll see what I can do... But don't you have plenty of music with no words that I've written anyway?"
... Okay, okay, so I just want to hear you play more.
Sandy gave a huff of annoyance that he had been found out, but Jack rolled his eyes, grinning.
"Ya only have to ask, Sandman. Any in particular?"
Sandy grinned, nodding, and signed the song.
Jack grinned.
"That's one of my favourites too..."

They were both unaware of the yeti, still recording the music, as Jack played, for another half an hour, until Sandy had to leave.
Then the yeti had to make a hasty retreat as Jack came flying through the door. But he was too slow in rounding the corner at the end of the corridor, enabling Jack to catch sight of him.
"Hey!"
The Yeti yelped, running and ducking and weaving and diving-where had Jack seen that manoeuvre before?- before vanishing through a door.
The Yeti ripped his mask off and vanished into the crowd of yeti's already in the room, just as Jack span around the door.
The young guardian scanned the crowd, and huffed as he realised that none of the yeti's were in a balaclava. Then he caught sight of Phil, who was messing with a new Jack in the box, and flew over to him just as he clicked the clasp shut.
"Hey Phil... Haven't seen a yeti in a balaclava have you?"
At the bemused look, Jack sighed.
"Didn't think so. Alright, catch you later..."
He flew out, and Phil sighed in relief as he opened the box again, revealing the balaclava that he had hastily shut inside, and tucked it into a nearby drawer.
That had been far too close...

Yeah, yeah, I know. Yeti's in balaclava's. But on the up note, Phil is the secret leader of the fan club of musical/Jack! Well done to everyone who guessed that, Lol :D
But will he ever be found out...?
All will be revealed in another chapter... though it may be a little while from now.

So, what did you think of multi lingo-accent/Jack? Wanna see him again?
And don't worry, Jamie will return soon :D Can't go missing out our favourite little humans, can we?
Anyway, please let me know what you think!
