Story Background: Jack is the manager of an ice cream parlor called Maggie Moo's. His mother, Margaret, was the manager of the parlor until she died of cancer a couple of years before. At just 20 years of age, he runs the shop all by himself, but not without the occasional help from his fellow friends: Sandy, Bunny, and North.
"Tooth, can I please get a snowcone? Pleeease?" Baby Tooth complained, her voice raising a few octaves as she enunciated each word.
"Baby Tooth, how many times have told you? No! You'll get cavities!" Tooth huffed, her anger growing with every passing second.
"Pretty please? I'll go home afterward and brush my teeth twenty times! You can watch me!" Her younger sister pleaded as her eyes glazed over with tears.
Tooth nearly wanted to collapse at the sight. She hated it when her sister got like this; she hated it when Baby Tooth cried.
"Please?" she asked with a gentle tone of voice.
The teenager gave in.
"All right," the older sister paused before continuing, "but you have to be sure to brush your teeth plenty of times afterward. You know what dad says about cavities."
"Yay! I will! I promise!" Baby Tooth shouted before running off in the direction of the local ice cream parlor, Maggie Moo's.
"Baby Tooth! Wait up!" Toothiana called before sprinting and taking off after her sister.
Several minutes later, Tooth found her sister standing outside of the quaint little parlor, studying the menu with a childlike intensity.
"So? Do you know what flavor you want?" the older of the two siblings asked as her eyes scanned the menu.
"Yes! I want cherry!" Baby Tooth replied as she clapped her hands together and jumped up and down.
Tooth laughed. "All right! Let's go order now." she spoke softly as she grasped her sister's hand and entered the shop.
What she saw next nearly made her heart stop.
He was so… handsome. The boy standing behind the counter looked like he was her age or in his early twenties at the most. His youthful appearance was made only more evident by his flawless skin and the dimples that framed his pearly white smile.
'He has such an amazing smile. And his teeth. Oh god, his teeth…' Tooth mused.
"Tooth! Hello! Earth to Tooth!" Her younger sister nearly yelled as she waved a hand in front of her sibling's face.
"What? I wasn't staring!" Tooth cried as she placed two hands over her mouth. She looked around, hoping that no one had heard her previous outburst.
Her sister grabbed her by the coat and brought her to eye level.
"Uh, yeah, it was kind of obvious that you were checking out the boy behind the counter." Baby Tooth whispered in her older sibling's ear.
"He saw you staring at him. He looked at you like you had three heads." she continued.
Toothiana's mind reverted back to its panicked and frenzied state.
"Uh… m-maybe we should come back another day. You know, when it's hotter outside…" Tooth stammered, her voice filled with uncertainty and hesitation as she tried to pull her sister out of the shop.
But her younger sibling wouldn't see to it.
"I'm not leaving without my snowcone!" Baby Tooth said defiantly, stomping her foot multiple times on the ground to prove her point.
"Whatever." Her sister replied, rolling her eyes as she slowly moved toward the counter that the boy was standing behind.
With every step she took Tooth wanted to die a little more inside. She could see it now, her gravestone would read: Cause of death: humiliation.
Finally, both sisters reached the counter and it took every ounce of Toothiana's courage to glance up at the cute employee.
He was… smiling? He looked amused, to say in the least. Tooth nearly felt herself sigh with relief. At least he wasn't creeped out.
She was broken out of her reverie when a friendly "How can I help you?" permeated her ears.
"Hi! I'm Baby Tooth! And this is my sister Toothiana." her sister gestured to the two of them.
The boy laughed and Tooth could have sworn she felt the boy's eyes linger on her for a couple of seconds.
"And I'm Jack. Jack Frost." Jack replied as he moved over the countertop to ruffle Baby Tooth's hair.
"What would you like?" the boy asked as his lips formed a big grin.
"I'd like a cherry snowcone please!" Baby Tooth exclaimed as she jumped in the air.
Jack laughed again and looked over at Tooth before answering, "She's certainly a lively one. Can I get you something Toothiana?"
"It's Tooth. And no thanks. I'm not really one for sugary treats." She looked away as her cheeks turned tomato red in color.
"Okay then. I'll be right back with your order, Baby Tooth." Jack responded as he winked at Tooth and walked away.
Tooth's blush darkened as her heart rate increased. She was thrown back into reality as she saw Jack return with not one, but two snowcones.
Her brows furrowed together in an attempt to understand the gesture.
Jack, as if reading her mind, replied, "I know you guys only ordered one snowcone but have another one anyway. It's on the house."
He winked again as he held up both treats. "Enjoy!" he muttered, "Rainbow snowcones are my specialty!"
Toothiana grabbed both snowcones and handed the cherry-flavored delicacy to her younger sister.
Baby Tooth immediately bit into her treat, savoring each and every bite that she took. Syrup covered her lips and teeth, and Tooth couldn't help but laugh at the outrageous sight.
Jack handed the siblings a stack of napkins. "Here, I thought you'd need this," he exclaimed as he joined Tooth in her laughing fit.
"Thanks." Tooth smiled, gratitude evident in her amethyst orbs.
"No problem. Anytime." Jack replied as he gave her a brilliant smile in return. The older sister looked away and blushed.
"If you don't mind, Tooth…" Toothiana glanced at Jack and watched as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, "I'd like it if you'd come around more often…"
Tooth looked back up at him and stared. A pink blush had formed on Jack's cheeks.
She felt a blush of her own form as well. "I-I'd like that too. I'll definitely swing by more often." she responded as she felt her heart rate increase again.
"Good." Jack's blush faded as he gave her that wonderful smile of his again.
"Bye Jack!" Baby Tooth waved as the two of them left the parlor.
"Bye Tooth! Baby Tooth!" Jack shouted as he watched the siblings leave the shop. He gave one last wave as they turned a corner.
'I definitely want to see her again.' Jack mused before going back to work.
'Soon.'
So, this story was an idea that was given to me by a fellow Tumblr user. :) This idea is clearly not mine, but I just expanded on it a little bit.
This was my first attempt at an AU! I hope you guys liked it!
For now this is a oneshot, but if people like the story's general idea/concept then I may consider writing more for it. :) I definitely need feedback (as this has the potential to become a mutli-chaptered fic in my opinion)!
I cannot stress and emphasize this enough: Please, please, PLEASE review if you can! Not only do reviews make my day, I love seeing what each and every one of you has to say! :)
As always, thank you for all of the reviews, favorites, and alerts for all of the stories that I've written so far! They mean a lot to me!
I cannot thank you all enough! Take care and God bless!
P.S. I hope to write more Rainbow Snowcone stories soon! (I also need to write the second chapter of 'Being Sick Isn't So Bad, Is It?'. Whoops. I'll get on that soon! Hopefully!)
xoxo
