It was a bright and early winter morning and as expected, Jack Frost was bringing winter many parts of the world. Just another day in paradise. Right now, he was on the east side of North America.
Children ran outside wearing their coats and boots to enjoy the winter wonderland.
Jack glanced up at the sky to see the northern lights. A slightly annoyed sigh escaped his lips. "Really North? This early in the morning?" Regardless of complaining, he set off towards the North Pole.

In a short time, Jack reached the North Pole, home to the bringer of Christmas and the source of the northern lights. Upon entering the workshop, the place was utterly hectic as it usually is this time of year. Elves and yetis were busily running back and forth preparing for the big holiday.
Most of them were either wrapping gifts of making toys.
"Ah, Jack. Glad you could make it." Jack faced the owner of the voice. "This better be important, North. I was in the middle of bringing winter to the southwest side of North America."
"Pfffft, like your job is that hard, Frost." Jack turned his attention to being entering through the rabbit hole. "My job's harder than yours, Cottontail. I bring winter to the whole world while you paint eggs just for one day a year." Jack retorted triumphantly.
"Listen everyone; I have good news and bad news." North announced getting everyone's attention. "Which one would you like to hear first?"
"What's the bad news?" Jack demanded.
"Manny warned that Pitch is coming back and he is going to be stronger than before." An uncomfortable silence fell upon the guardians.
"Don't worry, Mates. We beat him before and we'll do it again easy."
"What's the good news?"
"Manny has chosen a new guardian." North announced as he pulled a lever, causing a gigantic crystal to emerge from the floor. "Really? Who do you guys think it is?" Tooth questioned excitedly. Sandy made a little floor leaf clover above his head. "Ooh, do you think it's the Leprechaun?" Tooth asked. "I just hope it isn't Cupid." Jack said in somewhat annoyance. As the moonlight shined brightly on the giant crystal, an image of (h/c) haired female began took place.
"It's......who is that?" Bunny asked confused.
"Her name is (f/n). She is an angel with great power that is even stronger than Pitch. She is the key to defeating Pitch." Manny explained to them.
"Wow. She sounds amazing." Tooth said delightfully.
"Who will go find her?" North asked.
"I'll do it, Mates. It shouldn't take long." Bunny said as he was about to leave.
"Yea, I don't think so, Kangaroo. In case you haven't noticed, she's a girl and girls don't like being stuffed in sacks. I'll go get her." Bunny glared at Jack. "First off, I'm a bunny. Second, Just because I stuffed you in a sack doesn't mean-" Before he could finish, Jack was already taking his leave. "Hey, get back here, Frost!"
"Sorry, can't hear you, Kangaroo!"

Your (e/c) eyes fluttered open to be greeted by the morning sun. You sat up in your cloud and stretched your arms up, yawning as you do so. It was such a wonderful morning. You couldn't help but smile to yourself. You stood up and stretched out your beautiful wings. "Well, today is another day." You said to yourself as you spread your wings and took off to wherever the day may take you.
"Wooohoooo!!!" You exclaimed joyfully as you soared through the air like an eagle. The morning breeze whipping through your (h/l) (h/c) locks. You enjoyed flying so much.
After a few minutes, you reached a town below. You descended and gracefully landed in the middle of a park. You stood there and watched how the children playfully ran amuck, playing hockey, having snowball fights. You smiled as you looked around. Seeing children so joyful always warmed your heart.
"C'mon guys! Over here!" Your attention was drawn to three boys around the age of ten or eleven. The first boy had brown spiked hair with dark green eyes and wore a puffy black coat. The second boy blonde curly hair with blue eyes and wore a puffy red coat. The last boy had short straight black hair with gray eyes and wore a puffy green coat. You watched as the three of ran towards one of the store windows. Curiously, you followed them to see what they were up to.
"See guys? I told you!"
"Woooow!"
"Look at all that candy!"
"I want some!"
"But we don't have any money..."
"That's why we're going to steal some."
You couldn't help but feel bothered by this. It pained you to see children choosing to do the wrong thing. But luckily for you, you were blessed with a certain power.
You walk up to the spiky-haired boy knelt down to his level and whispered in his ear.
"You shouldn't do that. You don't really need that candy." Your words delicately seeped into the boy's mind, causing him to go into a daze. Strangely enough, you had the power to persuade others into doing what is right.
"You know guys...we don't really need that candy." The others became confused at their friend's sudden change in plans.
"Why don't you all go back to the park and play with the others?"
"Hey guys, why don't go back to the park and play with the others?"
"Yeah, let's go play some ice hockey by the lake!"
"Yeah!"
You couldn't help the satisfied smile that was creeping its way onto your face. That is until it was replaced with emptiness as you watched the children run straight through your being. Sighing heavily to none other than yourself, you spread your wings and took off in the sky. You wanted to fly somewhere to be alone. Not like it really made that much of a difference. For about ninety years or so, you have been like this. Never seen. Never heard. Never known. You felt as if you were just a lost soul aimlessly wandering around this big world. What was the purpose in existing if you weren't meant to be known? For years you've been asking yourself these questions and for years you never got answers.
After a while, you came across a forest."Perfect!" You said to yourself as you gracefully descended into the frost covered forest. Upon landing, you began walking through the forest, your gorgeous white wings dragged across the soft snow with each step. Your (e/c) eyes scanned your surroundings. You could help but admire the beautiful white scenery.
As you strolled deeper into the forest, you noticed something strange. The snow in this area of the forest seemed....thin. Rather than seeing nothing but white, you noticed more green was beginning to show. The more you walked the more green you saw. Eventually, you reached a clear area that was completely uncovered in the snow. But the weirdest thing about it was the unfrozen lake in the middle. "What happened here? Where's the snow?" You asked no one rather than yourself....at least that's what you thought.
"Sorry about that. I haven't been able to get to this area."
Startled by the new unexpected voice behind you, you became defensive. Instantly, you used your angelic magic to form a white and gold gun and shot a bullet of light in the direction the voice came from.
"Whoa! Calm down! I didn't mean to scare you!"
From behind the tree emerged a boy with snow white hair and wore a dark blue hoodie with khaki pants but no shoes. But what really caught your attention was the long staff that he held. 'Wait this boy can see me?' You thought inquisitively. By this time, you had loosened your tense shoulders and hesitantly put your magical gun away.
The boy noticed this and sent a gentle smile your way. In return, you shot him a confused look as you watched him towards the unfrozen lake. The bare green grass began to turn white with snow. Once he reached the lake, you watched as the boy touched the surface of the warm tranquil water with the end of his staff, causing to freeze almost instantly at contact. You couldn't help but stare in awe. Unfortunately, your expression didn't go unnoticed.
"I didn't really expect you to be the quiet type." You blinked a couple of times as you were snapped out of your trance by his words. 'Wait, what did he mean by that?' You thought to yourself.
"....do I know you?"
"Oh yea, excuse my manners. The name's Jack Frost, bringer of winter." The one known as Jack Frost winked at you. Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion. You always thought snow came from the clouds in the sky but apparently, it comes from some random boy in a hoodie.
"Jack Frost...?"
"Have you heard of me?"
"No, I don't think so."
"That's too bad." Jack said, a smirk now painted on his features. "Especially, since I know who you are, (y/n)." You completely froze. 'Who is this Jack Frost guy and how does he know my name!? I literally just met him!' You couldn't help your confusion.
"H-how do you know my name?"
"Hmmm, good question." Jack put a finger to his chin thoughtfully for a moment before back at you. "Tell you what, why don't you come with me to meet some friends of mine and I'll tell you." You weren't sure if it was the playful smirk wore on his face or the facts that he already knew who you were without a mere introduction but something about this made you feel a bit...skeptical.
"Umm...thank you but no thank you, Frost Bite." You declined politely.
"Frost Bite?" He quirked an eyebrow as he questioned the new nickname you gave him.
"Sorry but I'd rather not follow some stranger I just met to meet a bunch of other strangers."
"Are you sure? Don't you want an answer to your question?" He pressed.
"Yea, I don't think I want to know anymore." You said waving your hand dismissively and began to walk away.
"Oh come on. It'll be fun. You won't regret it." Jack said in another attempt to convince you.
"Not interested. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be leaving now. Bye." With that, you took your leave.
Jack sighed heavily. He couldn't help but be a little annoyed about you not cooperating with him so easily. 'Maybe stuffing her in a sack wasn't such a bad idea.' He thought to himself. That is until an idea struck him. Another mischievous smirk crept its way on his face, as he used his frost breathe to conjure up a snowball in his hand. But unknown to you, it wasn't just an ordinary snowball.
With snowball in hand, Jack flew over towards your walking form. Lucky for him, he caught you right before you could exit the forest. "Hey, (y/n)!" You were getting quite annoyed with this Jack Frost guy but you couldn't help but give him credit for his persistence. You turned around to face him. "What do you want no-" Your response was interrupted when you received an unexpected snowball in the face. You couldn't believe this guy just hit you in the face with a snowball! 'That's it! I've had enough of this!' You thought angrily. But suddenly your head was clouded with blue sparkles. The anger that you once felt just mere seconds ago was soon replaced with...joy. Before you knew it, you were overcome by laughter. "You're going to pay for that!" You said in between your laughs. "You're going to have to catch me first." Jack said before flying out of the forest and up into the sky. Seeking revenge for assaulting your poor face with a cold unforgiving snowball, you spread your wings and followed right after him.
Jack looked behind him to make sure you were still chasing after him and you were. He actually did it! He had finally got you to follow him and without the use of a sack. Jack noticed you were closing in on him and increased his speed. You, on the other hand, were actually having fun chasing after him. You didn't know what caused you to be so playful all of a sudden but you didn't care. This was actually the most fun you've ever had, considering this being the first time you've ever interacted with someone who actually interacts in return.
You chased all the way to the North Pole. You've never flown this far up north before. It was so beautiful. You were almost completely mesmerized by the breathtaking mountain scenery. Then you caught sight of what looked like a small building built into one of the mountains. You watched as Jack flew inside through a window in the roof. Being more curious rather than suspicious, you followed him inside.
Once landing inside, you were completely amazed for it was far greater than you could have ever imagined. Many wondrous toys filled your sites. Some were big. Some were small. Some of them flew in the air while others moved on the ground. You also noticed that that the place was with elves and yetis. You watched as many of them rush around busily. A couple of them waved at you as they walked by, which you kindly waved back in return. You were so absorbed in the magical place that you didn't even notice the person that entered the room.
"Ah, (y/n)! We've been expecting you!" Started by the new voice behind you, you immediately turned around to find a large man with a long white beard. He wore black boots, long red pants, and a white long sleeve shirt which was rolled up to show off his tattooed muscles. 'Wait a minute! How does this guy know your name and what was he talking about!?' You opened your mouth to say something but were interrupted by another voice.
"Oh my gosh! Is she here already!?" The owner of the voice was a woman who looked much like a much like a hummingbird. She had many colorful feathers, rapid flapping wings, and bright pink eyes. She gasped excitedly at the sight of you. "It is you! Show me your teeth!" Before you could protest or even question why she wants to see your teeth, she flew over and began examining your mouth. 'Who the heck is this lady and what is she doing in my mouth!?' You thought, feeling both confused and violated. "Wow! Your teeth are beautiful" You heard her say in awe.
"Come on, Tooth. Let the poor Sheila breathe." You heard another voice say. You glanced in the corner of your eye to see a gray rabbit that was actually bigger than you. "Oh right, sorry." The woman known as Tooth, apologized sheepishly as she backed away from your mouth. You were seriously confused right now. 'Who are these crazy people? How do they know my name? Why were they expecting me? Why is all this happening all of a sudden?' Many questions ran through your head.
"W-who are you?" You finally asked, feeling completely bewildered. "So I see you've met my friends that I told you about." Now that voice you recognized. You glanced over to see none other than Jack Frost walking towards you and everyone else. Your bewildered expression formed into a scowl as he wrapped an arm around your shoulder and gave a smirk. 'He tricked me into following him! How did I let that happen?'
"Allow me to introduce you to everybody." He started off by pointing at the man with the white beard. "That's North, also known as Santa Clause and the owner of this workshop."North gave you a welcoming smile. "Glad to finally meet you, (y/n)." Next Jack pointed over to the woman with the colorful feathers. "That's Toothiana the Tooth Fairy. You've already met her." He said somewhat jokingly. "Hi. I just love your teeth." You smiled at her in return. "Um, thank you."
Then Jack pointed to the gray bunny. "That kangaroo over there is Bunnymond." Bunny glared at Jack, clearly unhappy by his joke.
"I told you I'm a not a kangaroo. I'm the Easter bunny."
"Don't pay attention to him. He's not important." Jack whispered to you but apparently was loud enough for Bunny to hear, causing him glare at him. You couldn't help but stifle a laugh. "And lastly we have...." Jack looked around. "Where's Sandy?" As if on cue, you see a short man made out of gold sand walked in, stretching his arms. You assumed he must have been asleep. "Hey, Sandy. Look who's here." Upon seeing you, Sandy smiled warmly and at you to which you returned.
"We are the guardians chosen by Manny, the man on the moon. It is our job to protect the children of the world from fear and darkness." North explained to you. You let everything soak in. 'Ok, so Santa Clause, the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, Sandman, and Jack Frost are these so-called guardians that were chosen by the man on the moon to protect children and fight evil. I think I understand that much.' You pondered to yourself in order to grasp what was going on. While you did understand what was just explained, one thing still bothered you.
"Ok, I think I understand everything so far, but I still have one question....what does this have to do with me?" You asked hesitantly.
North couldn't help but laugh at your inquiry. "My dear (y/n), you have been chosen to be a new guardian!"
"Wait.....WHAT!?"
