The first part with Pitch actually happened, the rest will be from my muses (plural). I'm in London on tour for chorus and it's 11:26 right now. Disclaimer: I don't own ROTG and I will NOT repeat myself.

Meanwhile in the North Pole…

North was sitting in the Globe Room, watching carefully at the lights of children believers. Almost all of them were the typical goldish-yellow, except one in the United States, which was bronze-ish tinged with… "Black?" North gasped, standing up and activating the Northern Lights.

Sandy was near London, giving a pair of ginger twins great dreams about pranking their teachers when he saw the lights. He quickly got into his dreamsand plane, strapped on his goggles and flew as fast as he could to the Pole, leaving the twins in their red and gold dorm room to dream about setting off fireworks in one of their teacher's classrooms.

Tooth was in her palace, telling her faeries where to go and gushing over teeth when Baby Tooth flew frantically towards her. "What is it, Baby Tooth?" she asked. Baby Tooth tweeted anxiously and pointed to the Northern Lights, which were clearly visible in the sky. Tooth gasped and flew as fast as she could to the Pole, taking several faeries with her.

Bunny was in the Warren, relaxing as Easter had just passed. He had just settled into a comfortable position when one of his egg sentinels came up to him with the angry face showing. The pooka took this as a bad sign and headed to the surface, only to have his eyes widen at the sight of the Northern Lights. He tunnelled off as quickly as his feet would take him to the Pole.

And Jack was in Burgess, hanging out with Jamie (even though it wasn't winter). The two were chilling (pun intended) in Jamie's room telling stories when, suddenly, Jack felt a cold shiver (still pun intended) roll down his spine. "So, there I was, ready to throw the snowball in Bunny's face, then out of nowhere…" He turned towards the window and his eyes widened, his vocal cords freezing up (still pun intended.)

"Jack, is something wrong?" Jamie asked, scooching towards the Guardian of Fun. Jack held his hand up towards Jamie, silencing the brunet boy.

"Jamie, I have to go." the winter spirit looked at his friend with the most serious expression he had ever had. Jamie nodded curtly and Jack flew out the window, to the Pole in order to discover why the Lights were activated.

The four Guardians all burst into the Globe Room at the same time, only to find North wide-eyed at the very same light he was looking at earlier and muttering incoherently to himself. "Bronze… and black. It's too soon… cannot be. Bronze means… but out of protection. But ze black… how could…?"

"North? What happened? Is something wrong? Why did the Lights activate?" Tooth asked rapidly, fluttering around North.

"Ze light. It is bronze and black." North pointed a shaky finger towards the light. The other Guardians, excluding Jack, gasped or went wide-eyed. Jack stood there in confusion, wondering what was going on and why the other Guardians reacted the way they did.

"Crikey, it's been 250 years since that last happened…" Bunny started pacing back and forth, much to the confusion of Jack and worriment of the other Guardians.

Sandy's reaction was pretty similar. He started pacing and having a silent argument with himself. Jack was getting pretty fed-up with not knowing what was going on at this point, so he went up to the Globe and stared at the different light. Not long after, Tooth realized whose light it was.

"It can't be…" Tooth muttered incredulously, her steadiness in flight slowly decreasing. She had paled in shock and her wings completely gave out, sending her crashing to the floor.

"Tooth!" Jack rushed over to the temporarily-grounded fairy and helped her stand. Tooth paled even more and started to shake slightly.

"I-I know that light. I-I remember who that is. It's... It's her." Tooth stammered with a worried and scared expression. The Guardian of Fun guided the shaken Guardian of Memories over to a chair and sat her down.

"What's wrong with that light?" Jack asked once the other Guardians calmed down quite a bit. They stared at him before North spoke up.

"Jack, you know lights of children are gold, yes?" He asked and the younger Guardian nodded. "When children grow older, light… usually fades." North explained, fidgeting with his beard.

"Usually?" Jack asked, looking the Guardian of Wonder in the eye. North nodded.

"On rare occasion, light becomes bronze… meaning child has grown into teenager, but still believes. Last time, was 250 years ago. I assume black part means Pitch has power over teenager." North finished, sighing.

"Is that why you activated the lights?" Jack asked and North nodded. "Then what are we doing sitting here? Shouldn't we be helping them?" Jack looked to the other Guardians.

"Oi, Jack. Do ya know what our title is?" Bunny questioned seriously.

"The Guardians. What's your point, Kangaroo?" Jack replied suspiciously. The Guardian of Hope sighed.

"Tha's the short version. We're officially 'The Guardians of Childhood'." Bunny explained. Jack just stared at him.

"And your point is…?" The white-haired boy asked slowly, rolling his hand to have the pooka explain further.

"We guard children. She's a teenager, Jack. There's nothing we can do."
