Manny - January 1991

"If there's something I'm doing wrong, could you... could you just tell me what it is? Because I've tried everything, and no one sees me… the least you can do is tell me... tell me why. Why am I here? Why… why am I alone?"

From my place above the earth, I hear one of my chosen ones, Jack; speaking to me. Asking me for his purpose; asking me why he suffers, alone. If only you could see it, Jack, you bring fun to the world; you are the Guardian of Fun. But it's not my place to interfere until it's his time to become a Guardian. I can't interfere with his fate, not yet at least…

So I look to another, whose life force is slowly leaving this world. The infant girl, whose heart shines pure, though it's failing. Should I reach out and save her? Make her an immortal, so young, just as I did for Jack so long ago? He was older when he died; he had been alive for fourteen years before he sacrificed himself, though I let him age physically for the first four years of his immortal life. He has been the only one I've brought back after Death had taken him; E. Aster Bunnymund, Nicolas St. North, Sanderson Mansnoozie, and Toothiana were all given immortality while they lived. But they had had decades of life. This child has only had one short month of life. Should I save her, and change her fate, forever?

I look down on her dying form; her light brown hair, spread out like a golden halo around her; her light blue eyes, so full of pain, slowly losing their light. Yes, yes I will save her. So I reach out to her with my light and touch her soul.

I'm surprised by her soul, it mirrors Jack's. She's his soul mate, she's his other half. Maybe, since I'm saving her, one day they won't be alone anymore…

As she dies and her mortal life ends, I give some of my light to her… and her immortal one begins.

I watch as, like all the others, her appearance changes. Her light brown hair turns into a halo of platinum blonde. Her skin pales. She opens her still light blue eyes; they're the one thing that hasn't changed. She brings her tiny hands together and a snowflake forms between them. I watch as the young girl laughs at her new winter powers and her parents, King Agdar and Queen Idun come in to see why their ailing daughter is laughing.

I watch them quiet her and rock her to sleep. They and everyone else will puzzle at the change in her appearance, but they'll be grateful she's suddenly well. It's lucky she was born within the Lost Islands, and not elsewhere, so her family and the entire kingdom will always be able to see her. I look towards the sleeping child and I say my short farewell to her. Sleep well, Elsa of Arendelle. Your life will not always be happy and will have some fear and pain, but your time as the Guardian of Love will come, soon…

Elsa - Arendelle Palace, October 2012

Paperwork. It seems like I'm always doing paperwork since I came back from my Ice Palace on the North Mountain after I repaired it and my huge snowman-bodyguard, Marshmallow. And it's always about crop reports, taxes, treaties, or trading agreements. Even though it's only been four months, its already tedious work. Even with my ever bubbly and excitable sister, Anna, her boyfriend, Kristoff, and the always happy and sun loving snowman, Olaf, around; sometimes I still can't relax.

My inability to relax lately is why Anna is trying to convince me to go to the Ice Palace, or the Trolls, or anywhere but the study. "Elsa, you've been in here all day, every day since you got back. You need a break."

I roll my eyes, "I'm fine, Anna."

"No you're not. You're going to work yourself to death!" she exclaims. "It doesn't have to be a long trip, you don't even have to leave, just take a day off."

"I can't just 'take a day off', Anna."

"Why not? Everyone else gets a day off every now and then."

"'Everyone' doesn't include the queen, Anna."

"Well, you can at least take the rest of today off. Go have a stroll through the Royal Gardens or something. Go have some fun with your powers. You haven't even used them since we opened up the gates, have you?"

I sighed. She's right, I haven't used them in four months. And would a nice autumn stroll through the gardens be such a bad thing? "Fine, Anna. You win."

"Really? You're actually going to take the rest of the day off?"

"Yes. I'll take a walk through the gardens, and maybe 'have some fun' with my powers."

"Great, I would join you, but, um… Kristoff actually has a picnic for the two of us planned; I really didn't think you would agree to take a break, but-"

No, she can't ruin Kristoff's plan, not because of me. "Anna."

"-maybe we can get the cooks to make a bigger picnic so you can come; if they can't, Kristoff and I can just stay with you. Then we all could-"

"Anna."

"-go skating; or maybe we could go see the trolls; but they tried to marry us last time; or go to Oaken's; you've never been there have you? Or maybe the Ice Palace; I haven't seen Marshmallow since he threw Kristoff, Olaf, and me off a cliff; but I'm sure he's much friendlier now-"

"Anna!"

"What?"

"You and Kristoff go have your picnic. I'll just take a walk through the gardens by myself."

"Are you sure? I don't want you to be lonely…"

"If I get lonely, I'll go find Olaf and Sven in the stables. Alright?"

"Ok, I better get going, I'm already late!" She yells as she runs out.

I laugh quietly at my sister's energy as I clear off my desk. Poor Kristoff, he's going to have to deal with her endless energy and unstoppable spirit for the rest of his life. But he knows what he's getting into.

I remember how nervous he was when he asked me for my blessing last week. I think that was the first time I've ever actually made anyone sweat. Of course the whole 'if you ever hurt my sister, I will pin you up against the wall with my icicles in two seconds' thing I said when we officially met probably didn't help.

I sigh, happy for them. They're meant for each other, anyone can see it. And at least they've known each other for four months rather than a few hours. I still can't believe she wanted to marry a man she had just met. At least she didn't marry Hans; she saw his true colors before it was too late.

I shudder slightly. That was the one thing I haven't told either of them. Hans escaped before his ship got back to the Southern Isles. He's been declared a traitor in Arendelle, Corona, and the Southern Isles. Which means only Weselton or one of those barbaric islands in the north helped him escape. Unfortunately for Arendelle, Weselton is probably the one that helped him. The Duke of Weselton would do anything to get back at Arendelle, so why wouldn't he start by freeing the murderous Ex-Prince Hans of the Southern Isles? I put the thought away for now. I'm trying to relax; thinking of them now won't help me relax.

I enter the Royal Gardens, and look around the lovely autumn foliage to see if anyone's around. Thankfully, no one is. I let out a relaxing breath, and begin creating crocuses made of ice, followed by daisies, irises, roses, and tulips.

Jack

I fly over an area I usually don't cover, a place call Air-in-pail, or something like that. It doesn't really matter; I'm just passing through from Burgess on my way to the North Pole for some Guardian meeting. I can't believe its been six months since I became a Guardian. I look down at Air-in-pail. Sorry, no ice or snow today Airy, maybe another time.

I zoom over the castle and spot something unusual, so I go back for a closer look.

There it is, in the castle gardens. It's a rose. An ice rose. And I didn't make it. Where did it come from?

I look around a spot a beautiful woman at the other end of the garden, surrounded by more flowers made from ice. She looks about eighteen and I can't help but stare at her. I've never seen anyone with skin as pale as mine or anyone with that light of hair except my own.

As I watch her, the woman makes another ice flower. She has winter powers too? Who is she? And how does she have powers?

I whistle appreciatively, "That's a neat trick."

The woman turns towards me with a shriek of surprise, and shoots ice at me. I barley manage to avoid the icy blast.

She looks at me, her light blue eyes full of shock, "Who are you?!"

Wait, what? "You can see me?!"

She stares at me, "Of course I can see you! Now who are you and how did you into the Royal Gardens?"

I decide to ignore the how part and just get to the awkward 'your just a myth' part. "I'm Jack Frost."

Elsa

I wait for a better explanation, but none comes. "Am I supposed to know who you are, Jack Frost?"

He looks at me, confusion in his blue eyes, "Wait, you've never heard of me?"

"No. Why would I?"

He looks at me, now shocked himself. "You don't believe in me, have never even heard of me, but you can see me? How is this possible?" He brushes his hand through his pure-white hair. "I've gotta go." He starts to fly away. Wait, he can fly? But, how is that possible?

He stops in mid-air and turns back to me. "By the way, what's your name, Snowflake?"

I glare at him, "Don't call me 'Snowflake', my name is Queen Elsa of Arendelle. Now how are you flying?!"

He chuckles to himself, twirling a wooden staff around. "I'll tell you some other time, Snowflake." And flies away, leaving me annoyed and without an explanation for what just happened.

I turn and go back inside; heading to the library, silently hoping the annoying Jack Frost won't be coming back. He shouldn't have been here in the first place! He shouldn't have been able to get past all the guards and get into the Royal Gardens! I guess he flew in; the guards aren't looking for flying intruders after all. I barely spoke to him and already I can tell he's an annoying, childish, irresponsible, mysterious, handsome-

Wait. Mysterious? Handsome? Where did those thoughts come from? Sure he is good looking… if you like the childish trouble-maker look.

I sigh as I walk past the gallery. I spot Anna leaving the ball room, looking around for something or someone, probably me. She spots me and comes running up, nearly knocking us both over. "Elsa! Guess what?!"

I smile at my extremely excited sister, pretending not to know already. "What is it Anna?"

She thrusts her left hand towards me, showing off the beautiful gold, diamond, and emerald ring on her third finger. "Kristoff proposed! I'm engaged!"
