"I can't believe it", Elsa gasped. "Am I still dreaming?", Elsa asked.

"Nope, you're wide awake now", Jack chuckled and jumped on the table to sit.

"How can this be? All of you are....", Elsa stopped and tried to remember what she's going to say.

"Characters from a book?", Bunny laughed a little.

"No...I mean....I think I heard all of you...but...where did I heard your names?", Elsa held her head and made a disturbing expression. "I can't seem to remember"

"Oh, don't worry! I have your teeth of memories in the Tooth Box!", Tooth flew fast and after a minute or two, she returned holding the same Tooth Box she showed the other guardians. "Sorry, I showed them one of your memories when you're a child. But, I wasn't able to show them the others since its well sealed. I think if it's you, you can unlock those precious memories. It may even help you gain information as to why you're here with us"

"Wait a minute, now that you mention it, why am I here? Why can I see all of you? Where am I anyway?", she asked.

"Woah, slow down, Princess", Bunny tried to calm her down. Elsa looked at him for answers. "I mean, Queen, or just Elsa. First let's talk about this little by little", Bunny looked at North to explain things. He's much better at that.

"Elsa, my dear. You were chosen by our friend there", North pointed to the moon in the sky. "Man in moon or Manny as we like to call him, chose you to be a guardian"

"What? A guardian? Me?", Elsa is more confused. "Impossible"

"I thought the very same thing before", Jack smiled and went closer to her.

"Why should I be a guardian? I mean, all of you have your purpose. I don't see why I should be a guardian", Elsa said.

"Well, Manny thinks you'll help us fight Pitch and become a guardian for children all over the world", North said.

"What? That black clothed guy?", Elsa gasped at the memory "Oh come on, sure, I heard him once when I woke up in the middle of the lake but as for fighting that guy and even be a guardian? I mean, I don't even think the children believe I exist, or even know I existed", she explained.

"She does have a point in there, North", Bunny seconded with her logic.

"But Manny said you'll become our new guardian. He believes in your abilities, Elsa", North said.

"Do you think I can even call myself a guardian if I can't be seen or heard by anyone? You exist for the children because they believe you're there! As for me, I don't have anything in me! All I remember is fear and all people fearing me!", Elsa forgot that her powers react to her fears. The floor is starting to be filled with ice and spikes are forming at the edges. She instantly dropped the Tooth Box due to shock. Tooth took it with care. She saw them looking surprised at her and held her hands together once again.

"Elsa, calm down", Jack went closer to her.

"No, I don't want to hurt you. Please, don't get near me. My powers are dangerous to everyone", Elsa turned around. "I'm a monster" she said as she remembered those very words in her head.

"Conceal, don't feel. Don't let them know", she started chanting again to keep her calm. Tooth and the others are just looking at each other, asking how they should help Elsa.

"Don't conceal it, Elsa. Just let it go. Your powers are incredible and amazing. I've never seen such in all my existence. You're not a monster", Jack held her hands which is strangely warm. She saw the tips making ice on his palms and tried to snatch it away but Jack held it tighter. "Don't hide it away, Elsa. I'll be perfectly fine"

"But I might freeze you like everything else", Elsa said and still battled for her hand.

Jack closed his hand with her and in an instant; the ice forming on his palm crumbles to the ground leaving his hand and hers completely free from the ice.

"See? We're exactly the same. Don't worry about me. The cold never bothered me anyway", Jack smiled. When Elsa heard his last sentence, she remembered a little how she used to play with her powers on a mountain.

"Help me control it", Elsa looked at his eyes seriously. Jack nodded at her.

Elsa looked at the others in the room.

"I'm so sorry. I still can't control this yet", Elsa looked at her hands and closed her eyes.

"It's alright, dear", Tooth held it and smiled. "We're not bothered by it. I think it's really beautiful, like you", Tooth held her face with compassion.

"Now, why don't we return to our discussion with a cup of tea?", North asked.

"I would really love that", Elsa smiled.

Pitch's Quarters

"I can't believe how powerful that woman is!", Pitch said as he walks back and forth. "I have to figure out a way to get that woman"

The Nightmares surrounded him and Pitch somehow heard something from them.

"Yes, you're quite right. If we use her memories against her then we might be able to use her fears", Pitch laughed menacingly. "This will be better than I imagined. If I controlled her fears and use it against her, it will be the end to all the guardians. Make preparations!", Pitch instructed the Nightmares to release the prisoners which bodies and memories they took over to be one of them.

"Sweet little Elsa may be missing her friends", Pitch summoned his dark clouds and rode it to their next destination.

North's Workshop....

"So, to sum it all up, we love to have your company in becoming a guardian", North said with a smile. They just finished explaining everything to her and she seems to adapt what she just heard really well.

"Well, I would love to be one as well but there's just some problems", Elsa said, finishing the tea in her hands. Tooth offered another helping but Elsa told her she had enough.

"And what problems are you talking about? If it's about us, wanting you here then you know perfectly that we do". Bunny was in the process of sharpening the edge of his boomerang.

"It's not that", Elsa stood with a sad face and looked out the window. "You said I should find my center", Elsa held one of the dolls North just gave her. It was small like what Jack had before. "I don't remember anything that happened to me before. I don't even know how to use my powers properly. Considering the fact that I would be helping you from now on, I have to at least know who I am. Well, before I became like this", Elsa gestured herself to them. When she looked back at the window, some parts are starting to freeze. "I'm afraid that it may backfire and hurt you all. I'm scared because it's getting stronger"

"You'll be fine, Elsa", North assured her. Again, she remembered a different voice saying those exact same words.

"We'll help you until you gain full control over your powers. It may take some time, believe me, but you'll definitely master it. I had fifty years to do it myself", Jack said.

"At least you're not as stubborn as he is when he first came here", Bunny said.

"Oh that sure brings back memories!", Tooth laughed.

"What happened?", Elsa asked.

"Well, he sort of froze everything here and there, elves and Yetis alike. He's making an excuse of having his powers uncontrolled to show off his powers out of fun. He surely doesn't want to become a guardian before and it took us a hell of the time to convince him", Bunny grunted.

Sandy shared his story with Jack as well using the symbols.

"Really? Then looks like he's been a naughty little boy", Elsa laughed.

"What did Sandy told her?", Jack asked North.

"Well, he just told her the time you blew Easter and Bunny was so angry over you", North said.

"She understood Sandy? And all this time I had problems with his way of telling things", Jack said.

"I know what you mean", Bunny shared the same sentiments.

"Maybe that only proves who's the smartest one in the group", Tooth laughed.

"I can understand Sandy too, you know!", North said.

"Sure you do", the three looked at him teasingly.

"Well then, why don't you tour me around here?", Elsa smiled wider to them.

"That's a start!", North laughed and escorted her outside.
