[Tiffa]

All of that… Happened 301 years ago. In my dreams,I always see two people. A woman and a man. Maybe they are married cause they're in their mid-thirties.

And a boy. He had chocolate brown hair. In the dream,I last saw 'him' in winter. He was wearing a brown coat,matching his brown eyes and hair. I wonder who he is… Maybe my brother ? Nah. I have orange hair. That's just impossible.

I sat on the electric wires near the Burgess park. Kids were playing with their toys. It's summer today. I smiled,swinging my staff around and sending them a light breeze. The little girl sighed,tying her hair up and wiping her sweat off of her brow.

"It's so hot today !"

"Yeah.. I hope winter comes fast ! I want to have snowball fights again !"

I watched the kids talk about the seasons. I sighed. Why are they always like this ? They want cold when it's hot,and they want warm when it's cold.

I hopped down the wires,landing on the ground. No one can see me anyway. I can do whatever I want.. Yes,it's lonely. But I got used to it.

I walked down the streets. Chatters,people,dogs,cats… They all looked so happy. They all have families.. Hm,sometimes I wonder if I have my own…

I continued to walk. Until I passed by a dark alleyway.

"Oh. So you're that girl who messed with Frostbite's snow day ?"

I blinked,looking sideways. I stood up,keeping my balance on the wires. A… Kangaroo ? Maybe. A kangaroo was leaning ,just a bit of distance far away from me.

"Uhm… Huh ?"

"1988 ?"

I blinked. Oh. That.

"Well,it's summer that time ! It's not winter !" I crossed my arms. The kangaroo laughed,spinning boomerangs around his paws. Paws ?

"I don't really mind though. Karma got him cause he made a snow blizzard at Easter Sunday. Blizzard of '68 ?"

Ohh… I was watching that time ! I can't help but to laugh at the kids.

"Nevermind. Oh,and sorry for this." The kangaroo smirked,then stapped his foot three times on the ground. I innocently looked at two yetis,who just came out from the holes in the ground,one holding a sack and the other picked me up.

"Ow ! Hey ! This is kidnapping !" I growled,smashing one of the yeti's with my staff. The yeti growled a bit. Oops…

He stuffed me in the sack,tied it from the outside,and started dragging me. "Hey ! Where the hell are you bringing me ?!" I yelled out,trying to stretch the sack. But it's just so small ! Ugh !

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Agh… Damn it…

Where am I ? Oh yes,I'm still in the sack. I felt like I was spinning widely earlier…

"Hoho ! She's here !"

A voice boomed. Who the hell is that ?

Swoosh. The sack opened. I looked at the hole,seeing two… Elves ? Aw ! They look cute ! They had bells on the top of their hats. Wearing red,elf clothes. One was eating cookies and the other was smiling widely.

I slowly crawled out of the sack. I looked around,seeing more elves around the area. And five people.

Oh. The big five !

Tooth Fairy,Santa,Sandman,and that kangaroo… I forgot his name. But lastly,

Jack Frost !

Oops. I'll have to ready myself for a pep talk with Mr. Winter.

"How's the trip ?"

Santa crossed his arms.

"Uhm… Fine ?"

I answered with a sly grin. The tooth fairy giggled,going over to me and prying my mouth open.

"Ah—Uhm—"

"Oh my gosh ! Your teeth looks so perfect ! They're all white,I think even whiter than Jack !"

"Tooth,hands off the mouth."

Santa said,staring at the tooth fairy. She just giggled nervously,following. "Sorry. I got excited."

"Is this still Burgess…?"

Everyone blinked,looking at me. Then Santa laughed. "Nope. This is my workshop !" He mentioned around,chuckling.

"Yep !" The tooth fairy giggled in agreement.

I gave a small nod,taking another look around. "Uhm… Why did you take me here ?" My eyes wandered around the toys and stuff,grinning slightly. "Am I in the naughty list ?"

Santa chuckled. "Naughty list ?" He laughed,before turning his face to a plain one. "You and Jack hold the record."

I slightly laughed. "If it's because of all the melted snow and burnt houses,sorry." I shrugged,then my eyes landed on the kangaroo,who was looking at his paws.

"Hey ! It's you ! You're the kangaroo who took me from Burgess !"

.....

"What did you just call me ?!"

"See ! You really look like a kangaroo !"

A boy laughed. I looked sideways,blinking.

It was a boy,wearing a blue hoodie and brown pants. He leaned against his icy staff,chuckling slightly as he ruffled his white hair,his blue eyes landing on me. "You and me can be friends." He shrugged. I shrugged also,looking back at 'kangaroo'.

"Well… Aren't you a kangaroo ?"

"No !"

"Then what are you ?"

"A pooka ! I am the Easter Bunny ! Haven't you heard anything about me ?!"

I blinked. Oh… Easter…

"Oh… Really ?"

"Yeah !"

He retorted in his australian accent. Santa sighed. "Okay. Enough of that. Let's introduce ourselves to the newcomer." He rolled up his sleeves,showing his tatoos of 'naughty' and 'nice'.

"I'm mostly known as Santa,but you can call me North. This is Tooth, Sandy, Bunnymund, and Jack Frost."

I followed his hands as he mentioned each person and their names. And the most suspicious guy was Jack Frost. I feel like I saw him before…

"Okay,and now that we're done,can you tell us your name ?" North said with a smile. I looked up at him,then smiled back.

"I'm… Tiffania. But… It's too long so… I guess Tiffa is fine."

They all smiled. Then Jack Frost made a confused look.

"Wait,you said burnt stuff and melted ice,right ?"

I turned to him,then nodded. Mister Frost started walking to me,shoving his free hand in his hoodie pocket. "So you were the one who messed with my snow day with Jamie ?!" He said with annoyance. I blinked,before pouting. "Hey,it was summer that time ! Nothing's wrong if I melt it !"

"You didn't have to melt it !"

"Doesn't make sense. Snow in summer ? Ha !"

"Okay okay,that's enough. It has passed. You can't change it." North cleared his throat. Sandy made symbols on his head,a smile across his face. How cute.

"So… Tiffa. We brought you here because the moon said he chose you to be the new guardian."

I blinked,looking at him. My eyebrows furrowed,confused.

"Guardian ?"
