Jack: "Ugh. This is so boring." Jack thought as he rolled his eyes at Bunnymund's glare. "Why am I even here?" It happened so many times, sometimes Jack forgot what he did wrong. "Oh yeah, I'm here 'cause I pranked Bunny... again." Jack often spaced out during North's lectures as he pondered his own thoughts. "Oh my gosh, I've been standing here for like ten minutes." Jack thought. "I don't want to hear how important this is for me to understand. I already understand. Bunny has a very important job. Making children happy and giving them hope. But poor old Bunny can't do his job of protecting children if I keep putting 3 feet of snow in his tunnels." Jack smirked at the memory of his prank. "It was so funny. They should have seen the look on his face! Ugh. Here we go again. He's a guardian and I am too. That means we look out for each other, blah, blah, blah. Don't get me wrong, Bunny's not all bad and North has always been like a father to me. But man, can he be annoying! Now how can I get out of this…" Jack repeated that thought. "How can I get out of this?"
Jack repeated this thought over and over as he searched the room for a way out. "Hmmm. That window looks promising. It's a good thing North usually keeps that window open. I could easily slip through there. But I can't just run off. Then I'd get an even longer lecture than this one when I get back." Jack racked his brain for a way to distract Santa. Or for an excuse of some sort to get away. Then, as if an invisible light-bulb had appeared over Jack's head, he knew exactly what to say. "I completely understand everything you've told me, and,...oh. Hey, little buddy. Thanks for the cookies." Jack stretched sideways to look behind Santa. North turned around. "Heh? What are you talking about, Jack?" Jack slyly explained, a mischievous grin forming on his face. It took everything he had not to burst out laughing at his little trick. "Your elf, he brought the cookies you asked for." Santa turned around once again. "I do not see any elf. Or any cookies. Jack, what are you…" but when North turned back around, Jack was already gone.
"Woo hoo! Yeah! Haha, old man falls for it every time." Jack said to himself as he used the wind to fly through the air. He flipped over in all directions. Forwards, backwards, left, right. He mastered his movements to perfection. He had been going pretty fast, and by the time he was tired enough to stop, he had reached a quaint little town called Arendelle. Jack's geography was fairly good. It had to be. Jack had to be absolutely sure he was in the exact spot he was supposed to be in. He always had to know where he was. He had to know this to put snow and ice on all the places in the world that needed it. Also, he needed to be sure he wouldn't get lost when he went flying. "Ahh, Arendelle. What a sweet little town. I love it here." Jack thought as he traveled over Arendelle and into a small patch of forest.
Below, he saw what he thought was a bunch of kids having a snowball fight. "Oh, I am so not passing up this opportunity." Jack said out loud. Jack was the best at snowball fights. He loved them! But when he got closer to the ground, he found that it was not several children having a snowball fight, but one child. "Hmm, okay. Strange, I could have sworn there were snowballs flying in all directions. Poor kid, a loner all by herself. Well, then it's my job to play with her. I bet a snowball fight would cheer her up." Jack hid behind a tree and got in a ready position. "Surprise snowball fight attack in action" Jack thought.
But as Jack got even closer, he realized that it was not a small child, but a teenager his age. Jack couldn't help but stare at this beautifully seductive girl. The girl in front of him was about 18 years old. Her platinum blond hair was in a long, loose, french braid, which she had put over her shoulder. She was very pale, with rosy cheeks. Her bright blue eyes shined like ice reflecting the morning sun. When she smiled, she lit up the whole world. Jack smiled. So many thoughts popped into his head. "Who is she? What's her name? What does she like to do? Should I ask her out?" Then this woman did something that raised many more questions than answers. She raised her arm in front of her, and shot a snowball out of her hand. She shot another. Then another. Soon, there was a swarm of snowballs, snow, and ice around her. "I'm beginning to realize why I thought there was a bunch of kids throwing snowballs down here."
For some reason, the girl kept hitting the same tree. When Jack finally took his eyes off the pretty girl, he realized that there was a target on the tree. "Oh, I get it. Target practice. Wait what am I thinking? This is crazy! This girl is shooting snowballs out of her hands! Then again, I've been flying and shooting ice out of a stick for the past 400 years." Jack remembered the years and years he had waited. He had waited for someone to see him. To believe in him. How badly he had wanted, no, needed someone to feel his presence was more than he could tell. But it had never occured to Jack that he should have been looking for others like him. He had never thought that anyone else had powers like his. But now there was someone who did. Jack rubbed a hand over his face. "Am I seeing things? Is this real? Please let this be real."
Jack pinched himself repeatedly. Jack then stared at the girl and grinned. "Yep. This is real alright." Now that the shock and disbelief was gone, all that was left was excitement and happiness. "Wow! I can't believe it! Someone in this world has powers just like mine,... and she's perfect. The one girl on Earth who has ice powers is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." Jack almost laughed he was so happy. He bit on his tongue to stop himself from laughing. He couldn't give himself away now. He had been hiding behind a tree staring at her for 5 minutes now for goodness sakes. If she knew that, she would think he was a creepy stalker. "Besides, what if no one knows about her powers. Maybe she doesn't want anyone to know. The last thing I want to do is upset her, or make her think I was going to let out some big secret." Jack was thinking so deeply, he didn't even notice when a certain beautiful girl with platinum blond hair snuck up behind him.
