Rise Of The Guardians Page #4

---

Easter is tomorrow.

And I need your help.

I say we pull out all the stops

and we get those little lights

flickering again.

Bunny is right.

As much as it pains me

to say, old friend,

this time, Easter is more

important than Christmas.

Hey, did everyone hear that?

We must hurry to the warren.

Everyone! To the sleigh!

Oh, no, mate.

My warren, my rules. Buckle up.

- Shostakovich!

Oh!

"Buckle up." Is very funny.

Welcome to the warren.

Something's up.

Sophie?

- Elf, elf, elf!

- What is she doing here?

Ah, snow globe.

Crikey! Somebody do something.

Oh, don't look at me.

I'm invisible, remember?

Elf! Elf!

Don't worry, Bunny.

I bet she's a fairy fan.

- It's okay, little one.

- Pretty.

Oh! You know what?

I've got something for you!

Here it is!

Look at all the pretty teeth,

with little blood and gum on them!

Blood and gums?

When was the last time

you guys actually hung out with kids?

Peek-a-boo!

We are very busy bringing joy

to children.

- We don't have time...

- For children.

- Hmm.

If one little kid can ruin Easter,

then we're in worse shape

than I thought.

You want to paint some eggs? Yeah?

- Okay.

- Come on.

Rimsky-Korsakov!

That's a lot of eggs.

Uh, how much time do we have?

All right, troops,

it's time to push back.

That means eggs everywhere!

Heaps of you in every high-rise,

farmhouse, and trailer park!

In tennis shoes and cereal bowls.

Oh, there will be bathtubs filled

with my beautiful googies!

Okay, that's a little strange.

No, mate.

That's adorable.

There will be springtime!

On every continent!

And I'm bringing hope with me!

Too Christmas-y, mate.

Paint them blue.

Oh, what's over there?

Oh, that's a beauty!

Now, all we got to do is get him

and his little mates

through the tunnels to the top

and we'll have ourselves Easter.

Not bad.

Not bad yourself.

Look, I'm sorry about the whole...

You know, the kangaroo thing.

- It's the accent, isn't it?

Oh, poor little ankle-biter.

Look at her. All tuckered out.

I love her.

I think it's time to get her home.

How about I take her home?

- Jack, no. Pitch is...

- No match for this.

Which is why we need you here with us.

Trust me. I'll be quick as a bunny.

Ooh.

Sophie? Is that you?

We should get back.

Jack!

That voice, I know that voice.

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Don't worry, there's still time.

Jack?

Baby Tooth, come on!

I have to find out what that is.

Shh! Keep it down!

I'm gonna get you

out of here just as soon as...

Jack?

Jack!

...as I can.

- Looking for something?

Don't be afraid, Jack.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Afraid? I'm not afraid of you.

Maybe not.

But you are afraid of something.

- You think so, huh?

- I know so!

It's the one thing I always know.

People's greatest fears.

Yours is that no one

will ever believe in you.

And worst of all,

you're afraid you'll never know why.

Why you?

Why were you chosen to be like this?

Well, fear not.

For the answer to that is right here.

Do you want them, Jack?

Your memories?

Everything you wanted to know,

in this little box.

Why did you end up like this? Unseen.

Unable to reach out to anyone.

You want the answers so badly.

You want to grab them

and fly off with them. But you're afraid

of what the Guardians will think.

You're afraid of disappointing them.

Well, let me ease your mind

about one thing.

They'll never accept you. Not really.

Stop it!

Stop it!

After all, you're not one of them.

You don't know what I am.

Of course I do! You're Jack Frost.

You make a mess wherever you go.

Why, you're doing it right now.

What did you do?

More to the point, Jack,

what did you do?

Baby Tooth!

Happy Easter, Jack.

No.

There aren't any eggs.

- There's nothing here.

- I give up.

- He didn't come.

- I don't understand.

Maybe he just hid them

really well this year.

- Kids, oh!

- I checked everywhere. There's nothing.

Yes, there is! There is!

I mean, these aren't

my best looking googies,

but they'll do in a pinch.

I can't believe it.

I know.

There's no such thing

as the Easter Bunny.

What? No.

Wrong! Not true!

- I'm right in front of you, mate.

- Why wouldn't he come?

They don't see me.

They don't see me.

Jack, where were you?

The Nightmares attacked the tunnels.

They smashed every egg,

crushed every basket.

Nothing made it to the surface.

Jack.

Where did you get that?

I was... It's...

Where's Baby Tooth?

Oh, Jack, what have you done?

That is why you weren't here?

You were with Pitch?

No, listen, listen.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for this to happen.

- He has to go.

- What?

We should never have trusted you!

Easter is new beginnings, new life.

Easter's about hope.

And now it's gone.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa!

Aah!

Let's check the park again.

- Really?

- For what? The Easter Bunny?

Guys, I told you, I saw him!

He's way bigger than I thought

and he's got these cool

boomerang things!

Grow up, Jamie.

- Oh, man. Seriously?

What's happened to you guys?

It was a dream!

You should be happy

you still get dreams like that

and not...

Nightmares.

Forget it, Jamie.

There's just no Easter this year.

He really is real!

I know he is.

I thought this might happen.

They never really believed in you.

I was just trying to show you that.

But I understand.

You don't understand anything!

No? I don't know what it's like

to be cast out?

To not be believed in?

To long for a family.

All those years in the shadows I thought

no one else knows what this feels like.

But now I see I was wrong.

We don't have to be alone, Jack.

I believe in you.

And I know children will, too.

In me?

Yes!

Look at what we can do.

What goes together

better than cold and dark?

We can make them believe.

We'll give them a world

where everything, everything is...

Pitch black?

And Jack Frost, too.

They'll believe in both of us.

No, they'll fear both of us.

And that's not what I want.

Now for the last time,

leave me alone.

Very well. You want to be left alone.

Done. But first...

Baby Tooth!

The staff, Jack!

You have a bad habit of interfering.

Now, hand it over, and I'll let her go.

All right.

Now let her go.

No.

You said you wanted to be alone.

So be alone!

No!

Baby Tooth!

You all right?

Sorry. All I can do is keep you cold.

Pitch was right.

I make a mess of everything.

Hey.

Jack?

Jack!

Oh!

Jack!

Come on, Jack,

you can't have fun all the time.

Jack, get down from there.

- Jack!

- You're funny, Jack.

- Be careful.

We will.

It's okay. It's okay.

Don't look down. Just look at me.

Jack.

I'm scared.

I know. I know.

But you're gonna be all right.

You're not gonna fall in.

We're gonna have a little fun instead!

No, we're not!

Would I trick you?

Yes! You always play tricks!

All right.

Well, not this time.

I promise, I promise. You're gonna be...

You're gonna be fine.

You have to believe in me.

You want to play a game?

We're gonna play hopscotch!

Like we play every day.

It's as easy as

one...

Whoa!
