Chapter 1: Spring 2000s.
"One, two, three, four, five, six... SIX?! It's already been six days without a snow day? How could this be? No, no, no, no, no. This can be right!"
Jamie walked in on his best friend Jack Frost, who was talking aloud while pacing. It not a very unfamiliar thing and it's understandable considering that he was alone for who knows how long. Old habits really do die hard.
Jack rushed to Jamie's side and grabbed his shoulders.
"I am a hundred and thirteen percent sure that I made it snow yesterday, and the day before that. What happened?"
Jamie just shrugged "maybe its global warming? Maybe you actually didn't? Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that spring is here and you are supposed to be making it snow elsewhere! Jack, I know that we have gotten close during the past few months, what with pitch and all, but you have a job. Do not make me the adult in this conversation. I'm only 9! "
It's true. Jack has been slacking off recently. Well, slacking off as in not leaving Burgess. It's been nearly a year since the Easter fiasco and it's about time that someone reminded him of his responsibilities.
"Well, it's not like anyone can criticize. I don't see the Man in the Moon making any complaints. Just let me have fun and relax kiddo." Jack made a sliding gesture, as if he was about to float. Unfortunately, it seems as if his gravity defying abilities are not up to par. Jack only slid across vertically, and not up. It was… surprising to say the very least for a certain Jack Frost.
Jack laughed. It wasn't necessarily a humorous laugh. It was more like I-don't-know-what-is-going-on-and-I-am-kind-of-panicking laughter. He had a small smile on his face as if he thinks that someone is playing a joke. Jack tried to maneuver himself up once more. However, the situation did not brighten because Jack Frost was tamed by gravity. The small smile vanished off of Jack's face and was replaced by obvious panic. His eyes widened and looked up at Jamie.
"Jamie? Can you see me?" Jacks voice seemed to be shaky. Almost as if he was out of breath.
Jamie only responded with a confused face and an uncertain "yeah."
Jack grasped his staff and tried one more to fly. After his failed attempt, Jack tried to form a snowflake. There was a blue light and snow fractures began to form. Although Jack managed to let out a relieved laugh, it was stopped immediately when the snowflake melted.
Jamie, who finally realized that something was wrong, asked, "Jack, what's wrong?"
As soon as those words left Jamie's mouth, Jack disappeared from his vision.
Now, if there was someone who possessed the powers like that of the guardians, he/she would know. That person would immediately realize that something was off. Why, you might ask? Well, they would see that the world has frozen. No. It was not covered with ice and snow. That person would tell you, that it was time that froze.
Who knew that Jack had the ability to freeze time, huh?
