Outside the Ice Palace, a massive storm was brewing. The Evil Frosts, Jackie and her father, were creating lots of damage. Katherine was dodging from many lighting rods and giant hail falling on both her and her friends. For a small dagger she carried, it was strong enough to cut through anything.

"We can't let them destroy my home! There are many innocent lives around the area and no time for evacuation!" Crystal exclaimed, already coming out and going in.

"Crystal, no! Get back here!" Apple replied in worry.

"It's too dangerous!" Bunny added, feeling Veronicub hug him in concern and just petted her head to calm down. "Apple, stay here and look after this furry ankle-biter. I'm going to help Katherine."

"Please, be careful!" Apple warned.

"Don't worry, Sheila. I will," the Guardian of Hope assured, already going on all fours to assist his friends in the battle field.

Crystal Winter approached the evil Frost Family, confronting them with no fear. "Jackie and Jack Frost! I'm giving you this one chance to stop what you're doing!"

Jackie gave out a laugh. "Yeah, right! How about a make you a better offer?" She snapped her fingers and the cage holding the good Jack and Foxanne inside. "Why don't you get in the cage with these two losers or we'll obliterate them here and now?!"

Katherine gasped in concern, seeing both her Guardian and Pixie friends in the Evil Frost's clutches. "Jack! Foxanne! You two have crossed the line! Let them go!" she yelled, lunging in to take action.

Jackie stomped her foot on the cloud. A powerful bolt of lightning struck down and nearly roasted Katherine. "Consider that a warning shot! Dad! Let's smash 'em up!"

Jack Frost jumped off the cloud and landed on the ground. Bunny stepped in the snow giant's way. "Don't think so, Mate!" He threw his egg bombs at him, keeping the evil Frost at bay.

"Katherine! Are you okay?" Bunny asked, still standing his ground.

Staggering up, the Guardian of Imagination nodded her head in answer. "Yes. I'm okay. But we have to rescue Jack and Foxanne. You handle this world's Jack Frost. I'm going to take back what Jackie stole from my Guardian."

Bunny gave a look at Katherine, raising an eyebrow on that statement.

Realizing what she just said, Katherine quickly replied, "I meant OUR Guardian friend! You know what I mean, just handle her father!"

Not arguing, Bunny followed Katherine's lead and went to take on Ever After's Jack Frost.

Jackie jumped down from the storm cloud and confronted Katherine. "Why don't I just handle all of you?!" With the powerful spell book in her hand, Jackie swirled her hand in the air, causing the storm cloud to grow rapidly.

'Lightning and thunder grow.

Let your destruction overflow!

Level the ground-'

Just then, a snow owl swooped down and smacked Jackie right up her jaw. "OW! HEY!"

The owl picked up the book with his talons. He returned to Lea's side and transformed into Northwind. "Gotcha, sis!"

"Nice work, Northwind," Lea grinned at her new frosty friend before facing Jackie with a glare. "Not so powerful without Wicca's spell book now, are you? Time to show you not to mess with my friends!"

Without warning, she began swinging her hockey stick and shot many pucks at her.

"Quick thinking, Lea! Keep firing!" Crystal replied, hurrying by the blonde teen's side and using her wand to create more ice hockey pucks for her to continue fighting back.

"OW! OWOWOWOWOWOW!" Jackie yelped as she was continuously pelted by hockey pucks. She tried to escape by becoming a snow owl, but that didn't stop her as Lea had good aim and shot Jackie down.

"Sorry, Jackie! You're grounded!" Lea said.

With Jackie distracted and switching back to her Sprite form while standing up with the stolen staff, Katherine made her move by doing a leg-sweep maneuver to knock her down and take back Jack's wooden staff.

She grabbed the staff and tossed it over to where Lea was. "Northwind! Get this to Jack in the cage!" Katherine shouted.

"You heard Kate. We got this from here. Go help Jack," Lea replied to the good Ice Elf.

Nodding, Northwind switched into his owl form and used his other talon to snatch the staff and take it to the trapped Guardian of Fun.

"Oh, no you don't! Jack Frost roared, whom pushed Bunny away from him with his ice magic. He was ready to stop his son until a blast of purple magic repealed him.

"RAVEN! WICCA!" Apple cried with joy.

Riding on Wicca's broom, Raven Queen and Wicca West arrived on the scene.

"Special delivery!" Northwind called out, already giving the staff back to Jack close to his reach before landing back next to Lea.

With his staff back into his possession, Jack was able to break through the cage with ease.

"Come on, Foxanne. Let's get back to the others," Jack said, having the Fox Pixie climb aboard his back before escaping.

While that was happening, Wicca dropped down before Northwind. "Not bad, Nerd. You saved my book."

"Now, just do what I told you!" Raven called, soaring high.

Wicca nodded. She took her book from Northwind and concentrated, the book glowed green as Wicca absorbed the powerful artifact into her body. "It worked!"

Raven smiled. "There's more than one way to read a book!"

"Whoa! Cool!" Lea exclaimed, definitely impressed.

Katherine smiled. "A small callback from 'Way Too Wonderland', I see. Not bad."

"Now that the star players have arrived, let's end this!" said Wicca.

Raven flew down and joined her witch friend. They held each other's hands.

"Now, just do what I told you!" Wicca told Raven.

With a nod of agreement, Raven closed her eyes as did Wicca. They focused their magic to intertwine with one another. Their bodies bathed with powerful magic.

"Such overflowing power!" Katherine breathed in awe.

"So what?! Let's finish them, Dad!" Jackie said. She transformed and became a large polar bear.

The evil Jack Frost roared as he charged at the witches.

But Raven and Wicca didn't flinch an inch. They said a spell under their breath and unleashed a massive blast of purple and green magic.

"HIT THE DECK!" Apple yelled as the magic blast devastated the surrounding area.

Lea ran as fast as her feet could carry her from getting hit by the blast. Katherine and Bunny managed to take cover quickly, but Lea tripped and looked as though she wasn't going to make it.

Just when she thought this was the end for her, Lea felt herself grabbed and flown up into the skies super-fast.

"Gotcha," a familiar voice said.

Lea turned her head to see her Jack Frost free and carrying her. Along with Foxanne on his back.

"Thanks," Lea replied with a relieved smile.

"Don't thank me. Thank the talking snowy owl who gave me back my staff in time to save you,"

Everyone managed to avoid Raven and Wicca's blast. Everyone except Jackie Frost and her father.

Once the attack died down, the two were found lying on the ground. Out cold and defeated.

Northwind gulped, whom was flying next to Jack in his owl form. "Glad I was not in that crossfire,"

With the area clear to come back down, Jack flew down and gently had Foxanne and Lea get off.

"Uh...Are they okay?" Lea asked, really hoping that Raven and Wicca didn't went too much on that spell. "Please tell me they're not..."

"Chill, Worrywart. They're not dead." Wicca blurted out. "Just knocked out good and hard."

Lea sighed in relief. "Oh, thank goodness."

"Totally. Even though my sister and dad are mean to me, that doesn't mean I want them destroyed," Northwind agreed, landing and turning back in his elf form.

"Still, what they've done is inexcusable." said Crystal, using her magic to detain them and take away Jack Frost's powerful staff. "It's the dungeon for the two of them.

Bunny and Katherine hurried over to check on Lea, Jack, and everyone else.

"Incredible job, everyone, in stopping Jackie and her father from taking over Winter," Katherine complimented, turning to Northwind with a smile. "Especially you, Northwind."

"Yeah, not bad, mate," Bunny added, slapping the Ice Elf's back that made him tumble forward.

"Thanks, gang." Northwind said, quickly recovering from that backslap.

"So, what will you do now that your sister's in the clink?" asked Wicca.

"Honestly, I'm not sure," Northwind admitted. "I've been so busy trying to help Jackie and not get in my dad's bad side that I never had time to think about what I want to do."

"Well, whatever you choose, I know you won't do it alone to find your own path," Lea assured, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Ooh! I know! How about Northwind transfers to Ever After High?" Apple suggested. "That way, he can figure out his own destiny better and make great friends to help him out!"

Katherine grinned at the Royal's suggestion. "Fairest idea, once again, Apple. As long as Crystal, her family, and Northwind himself agree with that."

"I think Northwind going Ever After High sounds fable-ous. My best friends forever after go there and they can help make him feel welcome," Crystal replied, giving the green light on that idea.

"Well, Northwind? What do you say?" Lea asked.

Once again, Northwind had to think again. And this time, he had to think for himself. When he took the time to think about it, he had a chance of having a better life at Ever After High than with his wicked family.

"Okay, I'm in." The snow elf agreed with no hesitation in his voice.

Lea smiled proudly before giving Northwind a hug.

"You're going to be great there," she told him.

Jack, Bunny, and Katherine smiled at each other. Despite not actual residents of this fairytale world, they knew that Northwind's destiny will never be the same again...in a fairy good way.

"Thanks again for that tip, Raven." said Wicca as everyone said their last goodbyes.

"No problem. I actually learned that when being at Wonderland," Raven replied.

"During the Queen of Heart's birthday, while being at the Wonderlandians' mad-tastic school, and facing Courtly Jester to stop her from stealing Lizzie Heart's destiny by signing the Story Book of Legends," Katherine furthered explained.

"I seriously need to read the series about this place," Lea said, only to feel a slight bump below her feet to see it was Nightlight, whom was still trapped in a hamster ball. "Oh! Right! Raven, can you please get Nightlight out of this ball? He got trapped by Jackie when having Wicca's spell book," she told the Wicked Friends while picking up her prisoned buddy.

Raven shook her head. "That spell was cast by Wicca's magic. So, she can undo it."

Wicca cracked her knuckles. She placed her hands over the dome and muttered a spell under her breath. The dome dissipated and Nightlight was free.

"Nightlight! I'm so glad you're finally free!" Lea exclaimed happily, already putting Nightlight close to her heart and gently gave him a hug.

The Wooden Companion did the same, causing both him and Lea's bracelet to glow.

"Whoa! What's with the light show?" asked Raven.

"That would be Lea's warmth in believing those she cares and loves shone brightly through both Nightlight and her crystal bracelet," Katherine answered.

"It was a special gift North made when first meeting us," Jack added.

"Whenever she focuses deeply, that happens. A reminder that no matter how old our blonde ankle-bitter gets, her belief in us will always stay young," Bunny concluded.

"Huh." said Raven. "Speaking of which, what will you do now, Lea?"

"I was really hoping to explore more here in Ever After and enjoy the break Kate has given me, but I guess we can't and have to cut the trip short after that," Lea replied, slightly disappointed.

Wicca patted Lea on the back. "You don't have to go. You can be my test subject for Home Evilnomics."

Lea took a few steps back. "On second thought..."

"I think it's for the best, Sheila," Bunny replied. "This isn't our home. We need to head back."

"But I'm sure we can come back here again. I mean, there's still so many fun things to do here," Jack added, showing a playful smirk. "Not to mention all the snow pranks on new people here that are total killjoys as the Easter Kangaroo."

Bunny shot a glare at the Guardian of Fun. "Stop calling me that! And I'll show you who's a killjoy!"

Laughing himself with enjoyment, Jack grabbed his staff and swiftly kept dodging Bunny from pouncing on him.

Katherine sighed while lightly shaking her head with a smile. "Silly Jack. He'll never change."

Lea sighed, happy and relieved. "Things are finally back to normal."

"I guess so. Sorry for not giving you a break. I was really not expecting any of this," Katherine apologized to Lea, feeling bad for breaking her promise on having a relaxing time.

"Don't be. At first, I was afraid that our Jack Frost would lose his confidence in being a Guardian after knowing there's another Jack Frost here who is bad with his twin children the same. But now, I realize how wrong I was," Lea explained, looking over to see Northwind hanging out with Crystal Winter, Apple White, and the two Witches.

"And it would seem that your kindness has given Northwind a change of heart," Katherine noted, smiling back.

Lea looked back at Northwind. He was talking to Apple about the arrangements that will be made now that he'll be a new student while Raven was convincing Wicca not to pull any freshman pranks on him.

"Yeah, sure looks that way." Lea said, smiling.

Life will never be the same, now that Northwind is going to Ever After High.

Moments later, the sun was setting at Ever After that left the area bathed in red, orange, yellow, and pink colors.

Lea, the Guardians, and Ever After students Apple, Raven, Wicca, and Northwind-along with the Snow Pixies, whom wanted to say goodbye as well- were now at the Enchanted Forest to say their proper farewells.

And so, as Lea was ready to depart with her friends-

WAIT! That's it, Mom?!

Brooke?! What in the kingdom-?!

Daddy! It can't end here!

Katherine, who can hear the narrators, paused and looked up before chuckling lightly. "Calm down, Brooke. I know you're probably disappointed about not getting to know us better, but I can assure you that we will return very soon. Maybe even meet all of us together in a special event happening here I originally plan on still using."

Really?! You think so?

"Of course. I did say before I had something in mind for all of the Guardians to come here as a surprise. And although Jack and Bunny's arrival was unexpected, it's not changing anything,"

Ohhh! Okay! Thanks, Kathy! Phew! That's a load off!

"Uh, Kate? Who are you talking to?" Lea asked, knowing there wasn't anyone around her friend.

"Just consulting with Brooke that our story here has come to a close, for now," Kate answered.

That made Lea raise an eyebrow. "Brooke?"

"Brooke Page. She and her parents can only be heard by few people because they're narrators of this dimension. Normally, it's Wonderlandians like Maddie and Kitty,"

"Okay...How come you can hear them?" Lea questioned.

"It comes with the perks of being the Guardian of Imagination. As a story teller who usually narrates herself, you tend to hear other narrators. I'll explain when we get back,"

"I hope so." Wicca said. "I've had enough insanity for one day."

"You'd think with past experience of attending Ever After High, a wicked witch such as yourself would be used to it," Katherine remarked.

"Hey, I'm entitled to a little break after every calamity." said Wicca. "Or do I have to make my point with another itchy spell?"

Lea squeaked and moved away from getting targeted again by Wicca.

Katherine, however, remained calm with a stern look. "That will not be necessary. We can clearly see your point. And, before leaving, I want to apologize for showing you that book about a certain student. I did not mean to make you upset. If it makes you feel any better, I won't read nor show it to anyone. It can be locked up in the Forbidden Section until the time is right."

"That's more like it." Wicca said.

"However, please know that this story of your first arrival will only be allowed to share by your permission. Meaning that I cannot unlock it unless you say so and believe it's absolutely necessary," Katherine explained, not leaving her cold stare. "I have many other unfinished stories that are yet to be unlocked. Some beyond my control. But hiding yours is far from the least concerns for me. I've dealt with worse than yours."

"You don't say." said Wicca. "Hm. Works for me."

Lea looked at Katherine, noticing the slight frustration in the Story Keeper's face. Whatever was in the Guardian of Imagination's mind, it seemed to show many emotions Lea had never seen before.

Taking a deep breath before letting it out slowly, Katherine returned her usual smile and said her goodbyes. "Jack, Bunny, please hurry with your farewells. It's time to go home,"

Lea gave Apple and Raven a hug. "Thanks for everything, you guys! I had a great day!"

"Don't mention it!" Raven said. "You really livened things up around here!"

Lea looked at Wicca, the witch had her arms crossed, her green eyes icy.

"Although you still terrify me and occasionally hurt me, Wicca, I hope to see you again soon," Lea calmly said to her.

Bunny gave Veronicub a sweet hug before giving her a pink, white, and purple Easter egg to her.

"Thanks for helping us, Sheila. I'll definitely miss you," Bunny said.

Veronicub hugged Bunny, truly thankful.

Jack bent down to be leveled enough for Foxanne. "I really hoped you had fun with me. I'll never forget a brave and sweet pixie like you."

Foxanne jumped into Jack's arms and snuggled with the furry pixie. Jack giggled as her fur tickled him.

"I'm gonna miss you, too, Foxanne," Jack said, giving a warm smile.

Lea looked at Northwind. "Good luck at Ever After High, Northwind."

The reformed villain smiled. "Thanks, Lea! It feels good starting a new chapter!"

"Yeah. Oh! And before I go, there's something I want to give you," Lea got put her backpack to pull out her creative tool box to get out an enamel snowflake charm stitch marker keychain with glitter resin, indigo sparkle colored.

"It's a stitch marker I made that's part key chain. And I want you to have it, as a symbol of our friendship," Lea said, handing it to him.

"Whoa! This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me!" said Northwind. "Thanks!"

Wicca rolled her eyes. All this niceness was making her sick.

"No problem, Northwind. I'm definitely going to miss you the most. I really hope we see each other again soon," Lea stated.

"Don't worry, we will." said Katherine, taking out her enchanted snow globe before tossing it over her shoulder. "This is goodbye...for now."

And so, the Guardians, Lea, and Nightlight said their goodbyes to everyone and went back home to their world.

Although this may seem like the end, the students of Ever After knew that they will return in another chapter.

Finally finished this story! Hope you all enjoyed it. And yes, I do have another EAH RotG crossover special event planned in the future. But not right now. The next RotG crossover story will involve a show that involves a certain zone filled with spooky surprises and shrieking spirits. ;) This will be a tale you do not want to miss. Especially with some questions involving a character RD created in this series/show that have been unanswered for practically 2 years. Exactly why we're bringing it back now with this crossover.

To Guestsurprise: Yes, I would like you to create a fanfiction story about the Guardians of Childhood and Lea coming to see Cirque Mystique. If you have any questions or need help, let me know.
