"The summer spirit? The one that spreads summer and gave you burn scars? THAT SUMMER SPIRT?!" Bunny asked.
"Yes" was all that Jack muttered grimly.
"But- but why? I mean, why would she come here and suddenly do that?" Tooth asked. She gasped.
"You guys don't think that… she KNOWS, right?" she continued, lowering her voice. She was afraid that Amelia might be listening.
"That ve are human? Impossible! Man in Moon tends to be very discrete vhen it comes to missions. He vould have varned us" North said.
"But what if he hasn't noticed? It has been very cloudy at night lately…" Sandy remarked.
"Enough!" Jack hissed. The four looked at him. He sighted.
"Listen. Maybe we are just all overreacting. Amelia sometimes likes to mess with people when she is spreading her season" Jack said, sounding more like he wanted to reassure himself than the others.
"If you say so… But I'm going to ask Manny today, just to be sure" North said. The rest nodded.
"OH, Pitch!" Amelia said as she walked through the lair with a pleasant smile on her face.
"What?" Pitch asked quite bored while looking at his globe of belief.
"I gave Frost an internal heat wave" she said proudly.
"You…what?" he asked incredulity, looking at her.
"Yeah, you know, made him weak… like a vampire exposed to the sun… and then a ball knocked him out!"
"But he is still alive, right?" the Nightmare king asked rising an eyebrow.
"Unfortunately he is. On a scale of one to ten, I gave him a five" Amelia answered.
"Well then, maybe tomorrow you can give him the ten…" Pitch said with a smirk.
"Oh, I've got a better target for that actually…" Amelia said evilly. She then proceeded to tell him the Guardians´ reaction when Jack was knocked out cold. Especially Tooth's reaction. At the end you could only hear Pitch's evil laugh.
The rest of the day passed very quickly. As soon as the Guardians arrived at the tennis field, Jack was bombarded with questions from every single kid. Luckily, he was saved by Bunny, who told them that Jack wasn't really in the mood, and they left him alone. Or so he thought.
"Hey" Rosi said, sitting beside him.
"Hey" he replied.
"I got a question for you. And no, it doesn't have to do with what happened in the morning" she said and later added after seeing his forlorn face.
"All right" Jack said.
"How are things between you and Tooth?" Rosi asked.
"What do you mean?" he asked a bit nervous and confused. Rosi laughed.
"I mean, how do you two go along? she explained.
"Fine!" Jack said, but then saw the expression Rosi gave him, wanting him to explain himself.
"I mean… Great. We both get along pretty well and she is really badass when she's angry or has her mind set on something" he said, blushing a bit for the last part.
"Set on something like what?" Rosi asked.
"Family, friends… the usual" Jack said smiling. She nodded, and then had to duck a tennis ball that almost hit her in the face.
"Sorry Rosi!" Amanda yelled from the field.
"No problem!" Rosi said as she threw the ball back.
"Nice throw" said Tooth as she joined them. Her eyes and Jack´s met and, remembering what had happened earlier, looked away and blushed.
"Thanks" Rosi said as she watched the silent exchange with curiosity. She decided that she would ask about it later.
"So, are you guys going to participate in the karaoke tonight?" she asked.
"No thanks, I don't sing" Jack said looking away.
"Oh, really?" Tooth said, eyes narrowing with a mischievous smirk.
"Don't you dare" Jack said. Rosi was trying not to laugh.
"You DO?!" she asked.
"He does" Tooth confirmed with a smirk.
"NO!" he said, burying his face in his hands.
"OH MY GOSH! You do sing!" Rosi said laughing at Jack's embarrassment.
"What have I done to you to deserve this?" Jack asked Tooth.
"I'm taking revenge for not brushing your teeth yesterday" she replied. Jack just stared at her as if she had gone crazy. Rosi just stood there between the two, feeling completely awkward but with a little smile on her lips as she saw the scene.
"Are you serious Tooth?! I had a pretty good excuse and you know that because you were part of it" he said.
"True" she said.
"So why?"
"Don't I have the right to mess with you?" she replied. Jack laughed in response.
"Yeah, you do" he said smiling. But his smile became a mischievous one.
"Buuuuuuut, what about you? I've heard you sing a few times when visiting you at your home…" Jack said. Tooth gasped as her face flushed red, memories of soft mumbles of songs while working running through her head.
"I- I wasn't singing… I was… giving orders" she said, trying to find an excuse.
"Yeah right" Jack said.
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"This is just weird… and funny" Rosi thought, her smile growing wider.
"SOOOO…. Are you going to participate, then?" Rosi asked the two arguing lovebirds.
"NO!" both of them answered, struck with terror.
"All right kids, its KARAOKE TIME!" Broody yelled. Some kids cheered; others simply took out their cell phones and iPods with mischievous smiles; and others just sank in their seats, hoping to avoid being detected and sent to the stage.
"Okay, who wants to go first? Don't be shy!" Broody said while scanning the area for volunteers. Kids and teens just looked at each other, as if they were challenging the other to go first.
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF- AH! We'll go!" Rosi said after two minutes of uncomfortable silence, grabbing Amanda's hand. The Guardians looked at her, surprised; the Burgess gang seemed to be trying not to laugh.
"We?" Amanda asked, her face becoming a mix of red and white.
"Yes, we. It is time you get over your stage fright" Rosi told her. Her friend looked like she wanted to disappear.
"Here, grab this" Rosi said as she gave Tooth her cell phone, jacket and bracelets.
"Rosi, you are going to sing; not go to war with an Acapella Group" Jamie said, amused.
"I agree with him, Sheila. It's just Karaoke" Bunny said. Rosi just ignored them and dragged Amanda to the stage.
"Rosi! Amanda! What a surprise! Good for you girls to come here to inspire these kids!" Broody said.
"Just give us the microphones" Rosi said.
"Gee, calm down. So, what are you girls going to sing?" he asked as he gave them the mics. Rosi grinned and looked at Amanda, as if both of them had engaged in a silent conversation. Amanda's eyes widened.
"No, no, anything but that!" she pleaded.
"WE are going to sing…" Rosi started to say to Broody with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Please don't say it, please don't say it" Amanda pleaded. Sandy silently laughed when he noticed that she sounded exactly like Bunny pleading for the Groundhog not to be chosen to be the next Guardian before Jack was revealed.
"Let it Go, by Demi Lovato" Rosi finished saying.
"Annnnnd you said it" Amanda growled, earning a few laughs. Jody put on the song while Broody got off the stage. Rosi started to sing:
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
Everyone was taken impressed. Rosi didn't have a bad voice, in fact; it was completely normal, maybe a bit more good.
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
and it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I tried
Amanda looked at the screen. It was her turn. She decided to shake off her fear of singing in public and took a deep breath.
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always had to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Some people clapped. Both girls could sing very well. The two friends grinned at each other and continued singing. When they finished. People were clapping harder, including the Guardians and the Burgess gang.
"All right girls, good job!" Broody said congratulating them.
"Now, you girls can choose the next ones that will sing" Broody said. Amanda and Rosi shared a glance. After a few seconds they both smiled.
"Jack and Tooth"
