As for the history of Guardians of Childhood, I would say read the books. Unfortunately, most people would rather wait for the movie. While, eventually, Jamie Bennett’s debut book series will get published, it won’t make it to the silver screen until several years after his death. In fact, the most unlikely person produces and directs it it. His first born son. Later, you will see why it was so incredibly unlikely that this was the career path his son took (even though any critic will eventually call the man a genius). So, waiting for the movie is unlikely. And, unfortunately, the book series didn’t gain the popularity it deserved.
If I could, I would sum their stories up for you. I would, but it would take a whole chapter of this story. Several chapters, in fact. I could have a chapter for each Guardian and former Guardian. I could have several for Pitch Black alone. But, as you know, this isn’t their story. It is Jack Frost’s. Actually, it isn’t even his anymore. It’s his afterlife. And, since he is no longer a Guardian of Childhood, the other Guardian’s stories would have no effect on this one. So, like Jackson Overland Frost, you’re going to have to read the books.
But, since he’s lucky and lives with the author he doesn’t have to wait for them to come out. He is able to look over Jamie Bennett’s notes and listen to audio recordings and finally have the whole story (or as much as Jamie Bennett knows because even the Guardians left a few details out). And Jamie Bennett has no patience to explain everything or sum it up, so he just let Jack Frost have at it.

“Oh yeah, I’ll tell you something—I think you’ll understand—When I say that something—I wanna hold your hand,” Jack sang softly, pressing himself against her back close, holding her tightly against him, and lacing his fingers through hers. Her heavy, panicked breathing was finally slowing down. Her muscles relaxed against him as she brought their hands to her lips. He continued to sing to her gently, softly, and it was much more like a serenade. Of course, if anyone knew Jack was a horrible singer it was Sophie. He sang to her every chance he could get. He himself couldn’t understand it, but it is what it is and he didn’t mind and clearly she didn’t either.
This wasn’t the usual song he sang to her. But he had heard the song playing from Laura’s computer the other day and it had been suck in his head since. Jack had always been a huge fan of the Beatles. Without them, music wouldn’t be what it was today. Although, most of the more popular stuff was crap, bubblegum, annoying—you get my drift. Jack Frost didn’t enjoy mindless, useless lyrics put in front of the same tune you heard in the song before it. But that was the popular stuff.
See, when you get to the underground stuff, that’s where it got interesting and deep and sometimes brought tears to your eyes if you heard them live because the music was just so profound.
But this wasn’t about music. It was about Sophie and it was about bringing her down from the first panic attack she’s really had in weeks.

Merida had been able to hide the flute for the rest of the weekend. She kept it away from Jack and nobody had been able to confiscate it. She was sneaky and hid it. But she did not use it. She did not play that tune the witch had showed her to play. By the end of the weekend, Jack was certain Merida wasn’t going to play the flute. She had it, perhaps just to make herself feel in control? Jack wondered. Maybe she didn’t really want to change her fate or her mother. Maybe in bouts of anger she became frustrated with how he life was, but maybe in reality she was content with her place?
Jack wished he knew what she was thinking. Hiccup seemed to understand her perfectly, though. He laughed and he and Merida would talk about what might happen if she played that tune. How would her life change? What would be good? What would change for the worse? Speculation and longing was all she would settle for, it seemed.
July became August and Merida still had not changed her fate.
Rapunzel and Flynn hung out with Jack, Sophie, and Laura in their apartment. Laura needed Flynn and Jack to move her desk so that she could fix something with the computer and offered Flynn a beer when they were done. Rapunzel laid on the living room floor, drawing with Sophie. Jack was reading over Jamie’s manuscript for his book for the umpteenth time. The edges of the paper were curling and fraying from the amount of times Jack had read it.

“So, a kiss?”
Jackson’s face burned. He had hoped Jack would have forgotten his promise to explain what a kiss was, but he knew that was hoping for too much. Jack seemed to have a memory like no other. He remembered everything. What a child said in passing, a coughing fit Jackson had the other day, a tune Jill hummed absently. There wasn’t a thing that got past the spirit and sometimes that wasn’t exactly a good thing for Jackson. Like right now. Jackson didn’t want to have this conversation. Nope, not one bit.
“A kiss is… a gesture of affection.” Jackson started uncertainly. “You kiss your family and your lover or partner. By partner, I mean someone you are married to. You show them you care. It’s… not normally passed between friends.”

Jack was awakened by the jostling of the truck bed. Merida turned to Jack and pressed her finger against her lips, urging him to go back to sleep. She carried her bow and a quiver full of arrows. Jack assumed she was going to go out in the early morning mist to shoot some arrows into targets she had set up the night before. He groaned a bit and complied, falling back into a slumber.
What awakened him the second time was a strange sound. Like the voice of a child faintly beckoning. Jack sat up and looked around. Nothing. He stood up on the roof of the car and scanned the area. Toothless was sleeping, undisturbed. Jack spotted Merida through the mist. Clearly, he hadn’t been sleeping long before the sound. Then, there was a second one. The mane of red hair was disappearing into the forest. Jack quickly jumped off of the truck and ran after her.
When he caught up to her, he was breathless and she shushed him. The girl pointed to a glowing blue object on the ground. A… blue… wisp of smoke. As they neared it, another one cropped up with that strange calling sound that awakened Jack. Merida and Jack looked to one another.
“Will o’ the Wisp.” she whispered. “I told ye they show up around me.”

Jack met Jackson in the well clearing as Jackson and Jill went about their morning chores. Jackson gave the spirit a nod of acknowledgement. Jack skipped over to Jackson and Jill and danced around them as they worked. Jackson waved him off, holding back laughter. Jack did not, as he bothered Jackson easily. He stayed a distance from Jill, not wanting to pass through her. But he still showered her with snow and snowflakes that had a strange blue glow to them. She laughed and threw snow at other children and Jackson and Jack fooled around with them until an adult called them to attention.
Once the chores were done, Jackson took Jill’s hand as he walked with her to the school house. The siblings sang a silly song they had made up during cold nights inside. Jack listened as he walked with them, frost spreading over the footpath with each of his steps. Jackson stopped with Jill in front of the and crouched to her level.
“Remember everything you learn today,” Jackson encouraged, putting a hand on her head. “You have to teach your dumb big brother when you get home.”
She giggled. “Duh!”

Jackson spent the next several weeks sneaking out whenever he could to the pond. Once or twice he was followed curiously by children or an adult. But Jack was able to see that they were there. He let Jackson know that he was being followed and watched and Jackson would find an excuse for his sneak away. Whether it was hunting or chopping wood or simply exploring a new footpath.
Jack had become his best friend. Which was strange because Jackson’s best friend used to be Jonathan until Eliza was ready for marriage. Jackson was her first choice, between the two of them. But Jackson vehemently declined the offer, going so far as to run away and get lost in the forest. Neither had spoken much to him since. Only when they had to.
Jack would follow Jackson into the village every once in a while. He was watch Jackson go about his daily duties and question why he did them and what their purpose was when Jackson was able to answer them. He followed Jackson and his family to their little place of worship once. He listened intently to the pastor and his teachings. Jackson had seen the image of confusion cross his face when he began to recite from the bible in Latin. Jackson knew just about as much of what he was saying as Jack did. Jackson could pick up a few words here and there.
Jack did question Jackson about religion. Jackson did his best to answer him, and tried to stay objective. Especially when he was questioning it as it was. The moon seemed to have been more of a creator-figure than the God he was encouraged to believe in. Jackson did not want to confuse Jack.

Rapunzel was throwing a pool party. Well, kind of. When Jack thought of a party, he thought a ton of people and crazy antics. Then again, he’d seen way too many of those over the past three hundred years. Parties with hundreds of people and everyone was breaking things and falling all over each other but they all looked like they were having fun. At least this wasn’t crowded No, this party consisted of Jamie, Laura, Jack, Sophie, Hiccup, Merida, and Rapunzel. Oh, and Flynn Rider.
Sophie had no idea why Flynn was there. And she did not like it one bit.
Jamie said he had an inkling that she was buttering him up. Inviting him to her family’s rich home, a luxurious pool, delicious food. She wanted him to take her to see the lanterns. Every time she had come over, she asked Flynn about taking her. He refused each time. Her advances were starting to annoy him, though he was quite a gentleman. He cleverly tried (and always failed) to divert her attention to Jamie who could just as easily take her.

Jackson wasn’t entirely sure of what to do next. He asked Jack to walk with him back to the village. The boy only hesitantly complied. Jackson wanted to know more, but he was worried someone would send a search party for him, thinking maybe perhaps he had fallen in the pond again. They did take him for a fool, so it wasn’t entirely implausible they would assume such.
He wasn’t so foolish to leave Jack Frost alone once more. Assuming he was real (which Jackson was fairly certain at this point that he was), he didn’t want the boy to get hurt by him again. It was clear how very alone he felt. How he craved companionship, though he dare not ask for it. Jackson was curious about him. And Jack was curious about Jackson. Maybe getting to understand this spirit would bring no harm.
“So,” Jackson adjusted the pack slung over his shoulder, “Who is he? The other guy that talked to you and left you. I mean.”
Jack sighed and looked upwards. “The moon.”
Jackson furrowed his brow. “The moon?”

Jack really had no idea what had happened between himself and Sophie. He knew it usually led to something much more and he wasn’t quite sure he was ready for that. He was scared because he had never felt anything like that. He knew it was supposed to be normal. Sophie assured him it was. And that it didn’t always lead to… other things.
They were both clueless how to go about it. Sophie, having never kissed anyone but Jack. And Jack, never having interest in furthering what he had with Sophie. He liked the chaste simplicity that they had. But it was just kissing, right? With… tongues and open mouths and not always on the mouth. The way he had seen teens and adults kiss, whether they were in love or not.
But the heat that stirred within Jack told him it wasn’t just that. You didn’t kiss like that because you loved someone. You kissed like that to… become closer. He felt vulnerable in that state. He felt wide open, wanting to let Sophie do whatever she wanted to him. And she seemed just the same.
The way she described it, it was another way of getting to know each other. They opened up to one another and trusted each other. She explained that it was just one of the ways to express your desire for your partner. It didn’t always have to lead anywhere. In fact, they didn’t have to go far if Jack did not want to. She was in no hurry, not by any means.
She liked the kissing. Even if it was sloppy and they were both probably really bad at it. But they didn’t have to do it again if Jack was uncomfortable. Jack couldn’t say he didn’t like it either. It was weird. And he wasn’t sure if he wanted to let go of who he was. Jack felt he was slipping away. His… childhood, he could say. He had been in a perpetual state of childhood for centuries.
