Everyone kept asking for this scene. I hope this is ok and fills in that little gap a left behind last time. Enjoy.


It's been ten years since I awoke from the ice for the final time. I've spent the time travelling the world and testing my powers. I had visited Jamie a few times over the years. He was the one who told me about how my eyes had changed. Before they had icy blue, now they had flecks of green. Now that I've got a firm grip of what I'm capable of it's time to see some old faces.

North waits patiently for the other Guardians to arrive. After the incident with Jack they had decided to spend more time together, getting to know each other, discussing their pasts or just having a laugh. North looks towards the calendar, it's been 10 years and a month since Jack fell through the ice and it had been affecting them all. Around this time of year they discussed more emotional memories, opened up to the others. They had told many stories to each other over the 10 year.

A gentle tap on North's should brings him back to the room. Next to him one of the yeti's stood.

"Yes?"

The yeti mumbled something before indicating towards the window. North turned his eyes on to the pain of glass only to find one of the only lasts remnants that Jack had existed. On the pain still sat the frosted figure of Sandy.

"No, Jack won't be turning up today."

The yeti grumbles another response.

"No! I don't care what rumors have been spreading about a young white haired spirit. He is not Jack. Even if he turned up soon after Jack was lost. Nothing you say will convince me otherwise."

The yeti bows it's head before walking back out of the room.

North sighs. A month after Jack was lost another spirit going by the name of Jack appeared. He was aid to have white hair, a shepherd's hook, snow powers and a very child like personality. This description had gotten all the Guardians hopes up. Maybe MIM had brought Jack back and Bunny believed he would, but with every attempt to find and talk to this young spirit had failed. Eventually they had come to the conclusion that it couldn't be Jack, for he had no reason to avoid them and probably would have found them himself. This Jack must have been a new spirit simply born to replace Jack Frost. It wouldn't have been the first time after one spirit died another was created to replace them.

North lets out another sigh but pulls himself together as he hears the doors open. Turning to the sound he see's Bunny walking into the room.

"Ah Bunny it's good to see you friend."

North throws his arms open as a big welcoming gesture. Bunnymund smiles back.

"Yeah. Good to see you too mate."

North gets busy making sure there is enough refreshments for everyone.

"What would you like to drink friend?"

Bunny crosses the room and makes himself comfy on the sofa.

"Just water for me."

North lets out another sigh. Today is going to be another emotional talk if water is what he's drinking.

Sandy and Tooth arrive soon after. Tooth also orders water, whilst Sandy asks for eggnog as usual.

The four all make themselves comfortable. They sat for a few moments in silence, simply enjoying each other's presence. After a few moments a cool breeze swirled past each guardian, causing them all to shiver. None mentioned anything even after the breeze past for the fourth time. But when it started for the fifth time…

"Would someone please stop the breeze!"

Instead of a yeti's grumble a giggle was heard as a reply. This caught all the Guardians attention. As breeze fluttered past again it carried a mixture of snowflakes and lights.

Each Guardian gasped.

They start to scan the room for any signs of a white haired boy but found nothing. The breeze came again carrying a giggle along with the snowflakes and lights.

Sandy was the first to see the white haired boy sat in the rafters above. His golden eyes widened as he took in the immortals boys new appearance. Jack noticing that Sandy had seen him raises a finger to his lips before winking at the star.

As easily as the boy had made snowflakes in the past an orb of light quickly formed before drifting down to the other Guardians. It circles around North's head first, gaining his attention, and when the large russian goes to reach for it, it drifts backwards, playfully staying just out of reach.

Once North's eyes were focused on it. It drifted to Aster and then to Toothiana. Capturing their attention and staying just out of reach. Eventually it floats further away from the group. Sandy just watch as each of the other Guardians watch the orb with childlike wonder and trust, not thinking before leaving their seats to follow it.

Sandy looks towards the hidden winter spirit, raising an eyebrow, knowing his silent question would be understood. The youth just sends his usual smirk back confirming what Sandy already knew. The Guardians were in no danger simply wrapped up in Jack's magic again.

Sandy had always thought it was amazing how nothing more than a simple snowflake from Jack could change each from mature, responsible, adultlike Guardian into the most immature, irresponsible childlike youths. It was like the eternal youth brought out the child locked away in everyone. And here he was doing it all again with a simple ball of light.

Sandy shakes his head as his attention is drawn back to the three others. The ball of light was now floating above their heads. Sandy watches as three small, almost invisible snowflakes drift down, each landing on the nose of a Guardian.

The reaction was instantaneous. Bunny quickly crouched down and leaped.

"I got it!"

The light flew out of reach much to the Guardian of hope's annoyance but before he could react Toothiana was flying through the air after it.

"IT'S MINE!"

Sandy doesn't try to hide his laughter as she flies through the air as fast as she can without much luck as the light stays ahead of her. Looking up he see's Jack holding his stomach and a hand over his mouth to stop the sound of laughter. Tears streaming down the spirit's face.

"Herd it over here. I'll get it."

Sandy's attention is brought back to the others as North tries to get involved. Unable to fly or jump as high as Bunny, he is relying in the others wanting to share and play fairly.

"One orb coming right up."

Toothiana quickly changes her directions causing the orb to change and start heading towards North. The Guardian of wonder had apparently either gotten a sack himself or gotten one of the yeti's to fetch it for him, but there he stood with it ready to try and catch the light.

Sandy was now having to hold his own stomach as he floated in the air, rolling on his beck with laughter. Aster was still trying to jump up and catch the orb, though never high enough to reach.

Thanks to Toothiana's herding the light was heading directly for North, who was holding his sack nice and wide. The orb floats straight into it, much to Sandy's surprise. North snaps the bag shut and all three start cheering. All three crowd around the bag eager to see what's inside.

If Sandy didn't know any better he would say they looked like three children on christmas morning waiting to open the biggest present ever. The three stand their with the bag in the middle for a few minutes before Bunny reaches to open it.

He hesitates for a moment before opening it. The three look inside and Sandy watches as all three as their smiles drop to sad expressions and frustrated frowns.

"What the hell. What sort of show pony did this?"

Bunny's frustration rang through the air. The other two Guardians looked lost having failed to catch the orb of light. Before anyone could react laughter filled the air.

Sandy looked up to see Jack had lost his ability to keep quiet any longer. The young spirits eyes were glistening with mischief and tears of laughter.

North, Tooth and Bunny all snap their heads up to see him nearly fall off the rafters above. Each froze as they stared at the youth. Each taking in the details of his new appearance.

His icy blue eyes with the imprint of a snowflake now containing flecks of deep green.

The fact he was missing his blue hoodie.

How his clothes fit nicely to his body and glistened as though he was made from the stars above.

The most noticeable addition was the crystal dagger that sat on the youth's hip, flashing as though it was laughing along with him.

Each had reached to the same conclusion, this spirit, this youth was both Jack Frost and Nightlight. The question was how much had he changed.

Aster was the first to step forward, his green eyes never leaving the immortal child.

"J-Jack?"

The white haired boy stopped laughing then, only just noticing their attention was focused on him. His usual smirk settled in place.

"Hey guys. I'm back."
