Jack was upset about the upcoming February. It meant that winter would soon come to an end. Jack knew he couldn't bribe the Groundhog for a whole year, but hey, here in Burgess the snow may be stopping but that just meant that somewhere winter was just beginning. Jack kicked at some of the leftover snow, sure being around the world would be fun, but it just wasn't Burgess.

Jumping onto a tall tree limb he looked out over the town. Closing his eyes he tried to picture it, picture what it used to be. He saw it, the cottages, the smoke coming from the chimneys. The fires lit on especially cold nights. The kids running and playing with each other. The people all dressed in thick wool.

Jack would never admit it, but secretly he missed his old clothes. He loved his hoodie, it was more 'now', but he missed the old days. It was kinda hard to think of it like that. He changed so much with the decades and centuries that past. But now that he knew everything he missed it. He loved seeing the people grow from 300 years ago to now.

Things had changed but yet were exactly the same. Sure the fashions had changed, but some things were still the same. He still loved the kids. He chuckled to himself, before he was a Guardian he loved nothing more that to mess with people, of any age.

Freezing kids tongues, slipping people on the road, making the wind blow chilly freezing air. But whenever he came home he always had the most fun. Maybe he was meant to be a Guardian after all, after all he did love kids and having fun.

"Jack!" He heard his name being called. Jack's eyes shot open, he thought he had just been too caught up in his memories till he heard it again. "Jack!" Looking down he smiled at his friend, floating down he met Jamie.

Jamie smiled up at his friend. "Hey Jack." Jack ruffled the smaller boy's hair. "Hey Jamie."

This had become almost like a routine for the two. Jack would go around bringing fun and snow during the day, but as soon as it was 3 o'clock in Burgess Jack would fly over to spend time with Jamie. Jack liked the kid, he was like a little brother to him, like the sister he had lost.

"So how was school?" Jack started off as they walked through the woods. He noticed a change in the boy's posture, his shoulders slumped.

Jack stopped and looked at his friend. "What happened?"

"Well," Jamie trailed off, not looking his friend in the eye. Taking a deep breathe the little boy started. "Valentines Day is coming up," but he didn't finish because Jack stopped him.

"Woah woah woah." His face scrunched up and he moved his hand each time he spoke. Jamie stared at the teen with a confused expression. Jack opened his eyes and looked down. "Valentine's Day?"

Jamie nodded. Jack sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "What's wrong with Valentine's Day?"

"Nothing," Jack shrugged. "Just never really saw the point of the holiday."

Jamie nodded in agreement. "Yeah I guess you're right," the two continued their walk. "It's just, well on Valentines Day we usually made cards for everyone. But now it's like no one wants to anymore. Sure we might get candy, but you only give cards to people you 'like like'." Jack looked down with a disgusted look and groan, Jamie laughed. "Yeah, exactly. So I can't give any one a Valentine's Day card without what people might think."

Now Jack gave fun to kids almost everyday, now it was his turn. He didn't let the slight pink tint in the boy's face go unnoticed. With a grin Jack started. "Oh and what idea would that be Jamie? Who were you planning on giving a valentine to?" He started poking the younger boy who only scowled and walked away.

"No one," he whined. But Jack didn't stop. "Oh come on Jamie. A big shot like you, you've probably got like tons of Valentines Day cards to give out." It was then that Jack saw the smile on his face. "Yeah right. But I don't think I'm giving anyone a Valentine this year, maybe just give Cupcake and Pippa something."

Jack ruffled the boys hair. "Yeah, who needs gooey Valentines Day stuff." Jamie laughed. "You said it."

Somewhere high above the clouds there lay a fortress. Much like Tooth's palace it was hidden through thick cumulonimbus, cumulus, stratus. A large ebony palace could be seen through the clouds. So sleek and white it was as if it was made out of solid clouds. All over the gleaming white utopia sweet music could be heard. Small childlike things were flying and playing harps.

This was the home to the one St. Valentine. Here he was preparing for his holiday, or more so now his daughter's holiday. St. Valentine was the original 'cupid' yes, but he was getting up in the years, and so was his daughter. His daughter, Cupid, was more than ready to take flight and aim.

She looked happily upon the globe through the clouds. Laying lazily she gazed at the people. She smiled and created a bow and arrow out of the clouds. Taking a random aim she fired the harmless arrow. Her father flew in a gazed worriedly upon his daughter. Sensing her father's presence she turned and smiled. "Hey dad!" She exclaimed. Valentine smiled back for her sake.

"Have you practiced today?" He gave a genuine laugh at his daughter's reaction. Rolling her eyes she plopped back on the cloud-like bed. "Dad I've been training for this for over a hundred years." She flew to her father and hugged him. "I'm ready dad, I love archery and humans. I was practically made for this job. You know besides the obvious reasons why I'm made for this."

St. Valentine laughed but stopped as a shiver went down his spine. He looked around his fortress in the clouds urgently.

"Dad, what is it?" Cupid harped worriedly.

Still feeling the chill St. Valentine flew out of the palace and went flying through the clouds. Seeking out his helpers, his children cherubs.

He saw his many cherubs fly around making preparations for the upcoming Valentine's Day. It was just a little thing, but he noticed. As his cherub helpers were flying around he noticed some of them change. Going from the amazingly beautiful cherubs to clouds. He frowned slightly at watching his children of happiness melt into the sky.

He landed on a cloud and looked at some of them that were still there. Landing on a cloud he noticed his wings droop, then it hit him.

He was vanishing, losing his faith. His holiday was in jeopardy, he needed help.

"Daddy what's wrong with your wings?" He looked up, noticing his daughter for the first time.

"It's the children, Cupid. They...they don't believe." He watched as she became crestfallen. Straightening up he walked over to Cupid, losing feathers all the way. He put his hands on her shoulders and looked deep into her eyes. "Cupid, my sweet Cupid. You've been training all your life, training to take my place on Valentine's Day. And now, you must save it."

Cupid nodded. Flying up she looked at her father, who looked slightly older than she had ever seen him. "I'll do it daddy, I promise."

"Go to the Guardians, they will help you." Cupid flew down, slicing through the clouds. She had heard little of 'The Guardians' but knew enough that her father's words were true. They would help. If anyone could saved a doomed holiday it was them, right?
