Rise Of The Guardians Page #2

---

Yes, what a pretty little Nightmare!

Now,

I want you to go tell the others

the wait is over.

Don't look at me like that, old friend.

You must have known

this day would come.

My Nightmares are finally ready.

Are your Guardians?

Whoa!

Hello, mate.

Been a long time.

Blizzard of '68 I believe.

Easter Sunday, wasn't it?

Bunny! You're not still

mad about that, are you?

Yes.

But this is about something else.

Fellas?

- Hey!

Put me down! What the...

Me?

Not on your nelly.

See you back at the Pole.

Whoa!

He's here.

Quiet.

Hey! There he is!

Jack Frost!

Wow.

You got to be kidding me.

Hey, hey.

- Put me down.

- I hope the yetis treated you well.

Oh, yeah,

I love being shoved in a sack

and tossed through a magic portal.

Oh, good. That was my idea!

You know Bunny, obviously.

- Obviously.

- And the Tooth Fairy.

Hello, Jack. I've heard a lot about you.

And your teeth!

My What?

Open up!

Are they really as white as they say?

Yes!

Oh, they really do sparkle

like freshly fallen snow!

Girls, pull yourselves together!

Let's not disgrace the uniform.

And Sandman.

Sandy?

Sandy? Wake up!

Hey, ho, anyone want

to tell me why I'm here?

Uh, that's not really helping,

but thanks, little man.

I must've done something really bad

to get you four together.

Am I on the naughty list?

Ha! On naughty list?

You hold the record.

But, no matter. We overlook.

Now we are wiping clean the slate.

How come?

Ah, good question.

How come? I tell you how come!

Because now you are Guardian!

What are you doing?

Get off of me!

This is the best part!

Huh?

What makes you think

I want to be a Guardian?

Of course you do.

Music!

No music!

This is all very flattering, but, uh,

you don't want me.

You're all hard work and deadlines,

and I'm snowballs and fun times.

I'm not a Guardian.

Yeah. That's exactly what I said.

Jack, I don't think

you understand what it is we do.

Each of those lights is a child.

A child who believes.

And good or bad, naughty or nice,

we protect them.

Ah! Ah!

Tooth! Fingers out of mouth.

Oh, sorry. They're beautiful.

Okay. No more wishy-washy.

Pitch is out there

doing who knows what!

You mean the Boogeyman?

Yes! When Pitch threatens us,

he threatens them as well.

All the more reason

to pick someone more qualified.

Pick? You think we pick?

No, you were chosen!

Like we were all chosen.

By Man in Moon.

What?

Last night, Jack, he chose you.

Maybe.

Man in the Moon... He talks to you?

You see, you cannot say no.

It is destiny.

But why wouldn't he tell me

that himself?

After 300 years this is his answer?

To spend eternity like you guys.

Cooped up in some hideout thinking

of new ways to bribe kids?

No, no. That's not for me! No offense.

How is that not offensive?

You know what I think?

I think we just dodged a bullet.

I mean, what's this clown

know about bringing joy

to children anyway.

Uh, you ever hear of a snow day?

I know it's no hard-boiled egg,

but kids like what I do.

But none of them

believe in you, do they?

You see, you're invisible, mate.

It's like you don't even exist.

Bunny! Enough.

No, the kangaroo's right.

The what? What did you call me?

I'm not a kangaroo, mate.

Oh, and this whole time

I thought you were.

If you're not a kangaroo, what are you?

I'm a bunny. The Easter Bunny.

People believe in me.

Jack. Walk with me.

It's nothing personal, North.

But what you all do,

it's just not my thing.

Man in Moon says it is your thing!

We will see.

Slow down, would you?

I've been trying to bust in here for years.

- I want a good look.

- What do you mean, bust in?

Oh, don't worry.

I never got past the yetis.

Oh, hey, Phil.

Keep up, Jack, keep up!

Whoa! I always thought

the elves made the toys.

We just let them believe that.

Very nice! Keep up good work.

- I don't like it! Paint it red!

Step it up, everybody!

Fruitcake?

Uh, no, thanks.

Now we get down to tacks of brass.

Tacks of...

Who are you, Jack Frost?

- What is your center?

- My center?

If Man in Moon chose you

to be a Guardian,

you must have something

very special inside.

Hmm.

Here.

This is how you see me, no?

Very big, intimidating.

But if you get to know me a little...

Well, go on.

You are downright jolly?

But not just jolly!

I am also mysterious,

and fearless,

and caring!

And at my center?

There's a tiny wooden baby.

Look closer. What do you see?

You have big eyes.

Yes! Big eyes. Very big.

Because they are full of wonder.

That is my center.

It is what I was born with.

Eyes that have always seen

the wonder in everything!

Eyes that see lights in the trees

and magic in the air.

This wonder is what I put into the world!

And what I protect in children.

It is what makes me a Guardian.

It is my center.

What is yours?

I don't know.

We have a problem, mate.

Trouble at the Tooth Palace.

North! North!

I told you I'm not going with you guys!

There is no way

I'm climbing into some rickety old...

...sleigh?

Whoa, whoa, hey!

Okay. One ride, but that's it.

Everyone loves the sleigh!

Bunny, what are you waiting for?

I think my tunnels might be faster,

mate, and safer.

- Ugh! Get in!

- Whoa!

- Buckle up!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where are the bloody seatbelts?

Ha! That was just expression.

Are we ready?

Good. Let's go! Clear!

Yah!

Out of the way!

Yah!

Oh, no!

Slow down! Slow down!

I hope you like the loopty-loops.

I hope you like carrots.

Here we go!

Whoo-hoo!

Blastoff!

Whoa!

Ohhh...

Hey, Bunny.

Check out this view.

North! He's...

Aw, you do care.

Oh, rack off, you bloody show pony!

Hold on, everyone! I know a shortcut.

Oh, strewth, I knew I should've taken

the tunnels.

I say Tooth Palace.

Yah!

What?

Oh! Whoa!

What are they?

Whoa!

They're taking the tooth fairies!

Hey, little Baby Tooth, you okay?

- Here, take over.

- Huh?

Yah!

Yah!

They're stealing the teeth!

- Jack, look out!

Tooth! Are you all right?

They... They took my fairies.

And the teeth! All of them!

Everything is gone.

Everything.

Oh, thank goodness.

One of you is all right.

I have to say,

this is very, very exciting.

The Big Four, all in one place.

I'm a little starstruck.

Did you like my show

on the Globe, North?

- Got you all together, didn't I?

Pitch! You have got 30 seconds

to return my fairies!

Or what?

You'll stick a quarter under my pillow?

Why are you doing this?

Maybe I want what you have.

To be believed in.

Maybe I'm tired of hiding under beds!

Maybe that's where you belong!

Go suck an egg, rabbit.

Hang on. Is that Jack Frost?

Since when are you all so chummy?

We're not.

Oh, good. A neutral party.

Then I'm going to ignore you.

But you must be used to that by now.

Pitch, you shadow-sneaking ratbag,

come here!

Whoa! Hey! Easy, girl, easy.

Look familiar, Sandman?

Took me a while

to perfect this little trick.

Turning dreams into Nightmares.

Don't be nervous.

It only riles them up more.

They smell fear, you know.
