The screen fades to white to reappear somewhere cold. The camera flies around to show somewhere covered in snow and ice. It pans down to stare right at a snow hill. For a minute, nothing happens. Then, Jack pops his head out from behind the snow, a huge smirk plastered onto his face. He chuckles darkly before slowly stepping out from behind his shelter, his shepherd's crook in hand.
Bunnymund rolled his eyes and glared at the spirit.
"What are you up to, Frost?"
Jack smirked at the giant bunny.
"You'll just have to wait and see, Kangaroo."
Bunnymund growled at him but turned back to the screen after receiving a pointed glare from North.
He looks around before reaching into the snow and making a snowball, giving it a soft blow to have ice form around it. With the frozen snowball in hand, his smirk never leaves his face as he searches his surroundings.
Everyone gave the teen looks of suspicion as the present Jack smirked as well, figuring out exactly what he was doing.
Out of nowhere, a snowball hit Jack in the back of his head, making him fall and sprawl out in the snow. He raised his head slowly with a grunt.
Jack's smirk immediately left his face as it turned into one of shock. No way that old man was finally able to hit him.
He sits up and looks behind him, the camera following his gaze. The screen shows a man with skin of dark gray wearing a black cloak and having black hair. The man smiled at the boy, showing pointed teeth, his gold eyes looking amused.
The Guardians gasped and reached for their weapons.
"PITCH!"
Jack scowled at them.
"Yeah. So?"
Tooth gaped at the teen.
"You don't know that he's evil?"
Jack rolled his eyes.
"Of course I know he's evil! He's the Nightmare King! But he's the only one who understands me and who wants to be my friend!"
The audience turned towards the Guardians, waiting for a reaction. The twins yelled in excitement.
"Fight, Fight, Fight!"
They got to shut up by Astrid.
North sighed and put away his sword, the rest of the Guardians doing the same.
They all settle down to finish the movie until Gobber finally realized:
"'Ey! How come they got to 'eep their weapons!?"
Jack: Aww, come on, Pitch! This is supposed to be my game! You're ruining my thunder!
Tha man chuckled and smirked at the boy, walking over and lending him his hand.
Pitch: It's not my fault you're losing your edge, Frost.
"Burn!" Tuffnut yelled.
Ruffnut laughed with him.
"Yeah! Need some ice for the roast, Frosty?"
A pile of snow falls on them before they could say anymore.
Everyone turns to look at Jack to see him with a smug expression making Hiccup snort for some reason.
The boy rolled his eyes but accepted the man's help. When he was back on his feet, Jack punched Pitch slightly in the shoulder and laughed.
Jack: Guess I'm finally getting you used to fun!
Bunnymund snorted.
"Yeah, like Pitch knows how to have fun."
Another pile of snow appeared and buried the bunny. Bunnymund wiggled out and glared at the winter spirit.
Pitch rolled his eyes but smiled and let off a dark chuckle.
Pitch: Yes, well. I'm your only friend so it only makes sense ...
Jack scowled.
Jack: Sheesh. Way to rub it in, 'Nightmare King'. The last thing I remember, I'm the only friend that you have and you are wanted by the Guardians. Now, who do you think is in the worst predicament?
Snotlout raised an eyebrow.
"Predica-what-now?"
"Predicament. It's a fancy word for situation."
Everyone looked towards the girl in the pink seat and she blushed, hiding behind her hair.
"S-Sorry," She stuttered. "I-I like t-to read."
Hiccup smiled widely at her.
"No problem, Punzie! I love to read as well!"
Rapunzel smiled as everyone else groaned.
"Eww. Books are so gross." Ruff yelled, pretending to retch on her brothers' lap who looked completely disgusted.
Pitch raised an eyebrow.
Pitch: Predicament? Wow. Your starting to use a larger vocabulary, Frost! You have a brain after all!
Jack stuck out his tongue very childishly.
Jack: Of course I have a brain! How else would I have come up with awesome games and pranks?
Hiccup stared over at Jack.
"Jack Frost, you speak my language."
Jack's face immediately lit up in a grin that could rival Chesire.
"YEAH!"
Bunnymund groaned.
"Crikey. Now there's two of them."
Pitch: Whatever you say, but I still think -
The man suddenly stops mid-sentence and looks up at the moon. He stares for a moment and sighs. He turns to Jack and gives a sad smile. Jack notices and frowns but nodded his head.
Pitch: I'm sorry, Jack.
Shrugging, Jack turns to the moon.
Everyone other than the Guardians become majorly confused at this point.
Jack: It's ok. It's not your fault he doesn't talk to me. You go do what you have to. It's winter in Scotland anyway.
North frowned.
Why does Manny not speak to the boy?
Pitch frowns but nods his head before being engulfed in black sand and disappearing. Jack stares at the moon for a minute longer before turning away.
Jack: Wind, take me to Scotland.
Jack is suddenly lifted in the air and he smiles as he passes over the frozen land before going over the ocean.
Everyone gasped but then stared in awe at the scene, reminded of how Night Rider was introduced.
His smile grows wider as he leans towards the water and lets his hand slide through the cold liquid. He whoops as he flys up and does some stunts before finding himself over a forest. He holds his shepherd's crook lower and a light snow started falling from the sky. He smiles and lands gently on top of a tree, watching the slight snow start to grow a little stronger.
Scotland glared at Frost.
So that's the reason why their snow comes out of nowhere.
Berk just gawked at the boy and Hiccup burst into laughter.
"Berk snows nine months a year and hails the other three! You must be a very frequent visitor, Frost!"
Jack grinned and bowed.
"You're welcome!"
Before he could call upon the wind again he heard crying and a string of curses being yelled out. Jack frowns and jumps off of his tree to slowly glide down to a clearing surrounded by tall rocks. In the middle stood a woman with fiery red hair that went out in all directions. Besides her laid a black and white Clydesdale who seemed terribly bored as the woman cried and ranted. Jack landed behind a rock and looked at them in amusement.
Merida blushed in embarrassment, not wanting everyone to see her current state on screen.
Merida: She's terrible, Angus! She promised me that she would let me marry on my own time, but no! She has to go and get the Lords, again! She doesn't understand! She doesn't listen! UGH!
Hiccup snorted.
"Sounds like someone I know."
He slowly turns and glares at Stoick who only groaned and looked on in guilt.
The woman screams in frustration and falls to her knees, beginning to cry again. The Clydesdale huffed in annoyance before getting up and going to sit by his rider. The woman smiled and hugged her horse.
Merida: At least I have ye, Angus.
"Aww! A girl and her horse! Just like a certain boy and his dragon..."
The two mentioned of the four glared at Rapunzel before turning to glare at each other. There was no way that they were going to be compared to each other.
Jack smiled lightly before walking closer to the two.
Jack: They must have a close friendship.
Merida and Angus's heads both shot up at the sound of his voice making Jack jump back in surprise. Merida scowled and grabbed her bow, nocking an arrow and aiming it at his heart.
Fergus burst into laughter.
"That's my princess!"
Merida began to look very smug and she turned to stick her tongue out at Jack who only returned the gesture.
Merida: Who are ye? Are ye the Night Rider? Where's dat beast of yours?
Hiccup huffed.
"Why would someone that blends in with the night have white hair and bright clothing?"
Merida growled.
"How should I know!? It's not like I know you!"
"Well, you should at least be able to figure out that I wouldn't want to stand out!"
Before Merida could reply, they both found themselves wrapped in golden hair. They stared for a moment before turning to Rapunzel. Said girl grunted as she pulled Hiccup and his bean bag over by Merida's. After they were right next to each other, she got more of her hair and wrapped it around both of them. The two struggled but it was hopeless.
Punzie smiled at her work as she fist-bumped Jack.
"That's your get along chair. You'll stay like that until you become friends. Got it?"
Hiccup and Merida mumbled incoherent replies but both Jack and Punzie were already in their seats.
They glared at each other before wiggling around, trying to get comfortable. Toothless laughed at his rider. This was gonna be a long movie.
Jack stared at her but didn't say anything, still shocked at her ability to see him. Merida lost her patience and rolled her eyes, pulling her bow string farther back and ready to fire.
Merida: I said, who are ye!?
Jack cheered.
"She can see me!"
All of the Guardians, besides Bunnymund, cheered.
Everyone else? Completely lost.
Jack gulped and pointed to himself, lost for words. The girl nodded as if it was obvious. Jack spluttered, trying to think of a response.
Jack: You can see me? You can see me ... Uh, I-I'm Frost! Um, J-Jack Frost.
Jack blushed and rubbed the back of his neck. He hated it when he stuttered.
Merida narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
Merida: What do ye mean, 'You can see me?'. Of course, I can see ye! Why wouldn't I? Ye did speak after all.
Jack: Oh! Well, uh, people can only see me if they believe in me.
Merida lowered her bow but still kept her arrow notched, her face now filled with curiosity.
Merida: What do ye mean 'believe'?
This got everyone's attention, making Jack groan and cover his face.
Jack waved his hands in a gesture for them to pause.
Jack: Hold on! I'm not going to tell you my whole life story until I learn who you are!
Merida huffed in exasperation but nodded, sitting down by Angus and gesturing for Jack to sit as well. Jack walked over, still a little cautious as she did have her bow and arrow ready in case he did anything funny.
Jack swallowed nervously.
"Got it. Don't mess with the princess."
Merida: My name is Merida. First born descendant of land DunBroch. I am the princess of Scotland.
Jack's eyes widened and he looked closely at her.
Jack: A princess? You sure don't look like one.
Elinor scoffed and was about to tell the boy off but she was held back by Fergus.
Instead, Hiccup glared at the spirit.
"That's not very nice to tell a lady. Even if that lady is an annoying princess."
This leads to another glaring match between the two tied together.
Merida waved her hands, not at all affected by his rudeness.
Merida: Yeah, yeah. I get that a lot. But I really don't care. I don't like being the princess. It's so boring and my mother wants me to marry and be just like her. But guess what? I don't want to be like her! She tried to get me married 5 years ago but I ended up turning her into a bear because of a witch. I turned her back and she promised me that she never forced me to marry again. Now she convinced my father to join her and to try and get me married! So, I ran away. Now spill, Frosty.
Jack grunted.
"First of all, never call me that. And second. You are very commanding."
Jack scowled.
Jack: First of all, don't call me that. And then, my story. At least, what I know about it.
Merida leaned in closer, intrigued.
The audience does the same, wanting to know the mystery behind the lonely boy.
Jack sighed and looked off into the forest.
Jack: The truth is, I really don't know much. I-I just remember waking up in a lake. It was dark and all I could see was the moon. The lake was frozen over but somehow the moon got me out. He told me that my name was Jack Frost, but nothing else. After that, I learned that I could control the wind and snow, that they were my friends. But I also found out that I was invisible. Nobody can see me unless they believe in me, and so far, you're the only one that can.
The Guardians looked down in shame.
Everyone else gave him a sympathetic look. All but Hiccup because he was sure that Jack wouldn't like pity, and one look at his face proved it.
Jack sulked in his chair. He hated pity. For a guy that's been trying to find a way to have people believe and see him, he just wanted to be invisible again.
Merida looked at him in confusion.
Merida: So, does that mean your not human?
Jack chuckled slightly and rubbed the back of his neck.
Jack: Yeah, you can say that. I'm a spirit. The spirit of fun and winter. I'm immortal. I guess I died or something. I've never really been given details about what I was or who I'm supposed to be. But I don't really have any friends so it's kind of boring.
"So the only one that can give you the details is the moon?" Asked Rapunzel.
Jack nodded.
This made Tooth fidgety.
He doesn't know.
Merida stared at him, making him a little nervous and trying to avert his eyes. She finally turned her frown into a giant mischievous smile.
Merida: Well, today is your lucky day, Frosty! I wanna be your friend!
Jack was paralyzed in his beanbag.
Jack swung his head around so fast that he got whiplash. He groaned in pain and rubbed his neck but his gaze never left Merida as his smile brightened and a new twinkle appeared in his blue eyes.
Jack: R-Really!? I-I mean ... Wow! Why?
Merida rolled her eyes and lightly punched his shoulder.
Hiccup stared between Merida and Astrid.
"Seriously!? Why violence!?"
"It's not violence! It's communication!"
They both yelled at the same time making both of them laugh and Hiccup groan as he received a headache.
Merida: Do ye even hear yourself? We're both outcasts! Neither of us has friends! All I have is Angus and I ran from the castle so I can't go back there. Ye don't have anybody and nowhere to go, so why not? We can go on an adventure!
Punzie squealed and clapped her hands.
"Yay! I love adventures!"
Jack smiled at her.
Jack: Guess we have a lot in common then. Ok, I'm in!
Merida grinned and stood up, dragging Jack with her. Angus huffed but pulled himself to his feet as well.
Merida: Well, where to first?
Jack thought for a moment before pointing East.
Jack: Since winter is already in Scotland, Corona is expecting snow soon. You in?
Punzie squealed again.
"You're gonna meet me!"
The rest of the four laugh. She was definitely optimistic of the group.
Merida went over to Angus' saddle and pulled out a winter cloak to wrap around herself.
Merida: I'm ready when you are, Frosty! Just don't try anything funny. I still got my bow Ya know.
Jack shuddered.
"Yeah, I know."
They smiled at each other and began to walk into the woods, Angus following close behind.
Yeah, I know. This is two days behind schedule. I'm sorry. I've just been super busy and I've had major writer's block lately.
Hope you enjoyed! It may be awhile until the next update since I officially put this under [SLOW UPDATES].
I'll try my best!
