"Yeah, you're right Sandy. Women have it so much easier." Jack nudged the shorter golden man, giving him a wink and a smile. Jack chuckled and Sandy only seemed to; small little bits of sand dancing off him as he jiggled in an imaginary laugh.
Toothiana turned in her spot, over hearing the winter spirit's remark. She fluttered over in her normal quickened speed until she was face to face with Jack. "Easy? You think it's easy being a woman?" North crossed his arms and rose his right hand, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his index finger and thumb. "Oh Jack. Please be trying not to get in trouble. Remember last time you did something like this?"
Jack leaned on his staff slightly, giving off this 'I don't care' look across his face. "Yeah. I mean, all you really do is stand there- in your case, hover- and look pretty. Guys have it much harder." Toothiana grew fluttered, before spinning around and facing the other two woman who had been there this whole time. Katherine, the young Serbian girl, also known now as Mother goose, and Seraphina Pitchiner, Pitch's daughter, also known as Mother Nature. Seraphina walked over to Jack as he slightly coward in fear. He cleared his throat then stood up straight.
Seraphina looked him over with an unamused look across her face. "Jack, dear, please. I have to go around, pretty much torturing poor girls once a month for seven days." Jack rolled his eyes. "Pfft, as if! You guys only get one day of cramps, you pop a pill and away you go! And not all girls bleed for seven days, some only bleed for two!" Toothiana huffed. "You don't get it Jack. Men always assume women are perfectly fine and nothing but little super models, when in reality, it hurts us to be your ideal!" Jack hit himself in the chest pretending like he was just punched. "Ooo, so what? All girls assume guys lives are easy, when it's a lot more difficult that it seems. I mean, we're expected to get a job, get a car, pay rent-" "-So are women, Jack." Katherine finally perked up. "Men and women both get the same amount of stigma."
Jack, again rolled his eyes. Seraphina then got an idea. She leaned in closer to Jack. "You think being a woman is easy, right?" Jack leaned back, almost afraid to answer. "Uh, yeah?" The mother of nature grinned. "Well, in that case-" She spun Jack around by his staff, almost causing him to drop it. Once she stopped him, he was no longer himself. He was now herself. She nearly screamed when he looked down at her body and elongated hair. "What did you do to me?!" She squeaked. She quickly covered her mouth. "Even my voice has changed!"
Seraphina laughed out loud now, my young winter spirit will now realize what it's like to be a girl. You will be like this for a month. Oh, and you're going to need these." She handed her a pack of pads. Jackie tilted her head. "What are these for?" "You'll find out." Seraphina winked before wrapping her deep moss green cloak around herself and disappearing in a poof of petals.
"Stupid Seraphina." Jackie kicked the snow behind her bare feet. "She could have just ranted to me for hours but NOO! She just HAD to turn me into a girl. Hmf." She kicked up some more snow before hearing the wonderful sound that just couldn't make her turn away. The sound of children laughing and playing. She blew through the air like a lost leaf and landed behind a tree to spy on who it was. It was Jamie. Course, she thought to herself. I came back to Burgess, of course it'd be Jamie. Jackie's smiled brightened when she saw the young boy throw a snowball and hit his friend upside the head.
But no, she couldn't let Jamie see her like this. Jamie knew her as JACK Frost, not JACKIE Frost. How would he react? Would he still like her despite that she was a girl? There was only one way to find out. She took in a deep breath, pulled her hood up and walked out from behind the tree.
"Hey! Jamie! Over here!" She attempted to deepen her voice. It didn't turn out as well as she had hoped, but it got his attention at least. He looked over, smiled wide and waved her over. She waved back, but was hesitant about going over. "What's wrong, Jack?" Jamie called. Jackie took another deep breath before letting the wind carry her over to him. She looked down at him with a smirk. No matter female or male, she still bore that exact same smirk. One of Jamie's friends noticed a bit of long white hair coming out of her hood and gave her a questionable look. "Did ya grow you're hair out, Jack?" He asked.
Jackie froze. Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! He knows! What do I do? Nothing better to do, she figured. She sighed aloud and pulled back the hood, letting the boys watch her long silver hair bounce and curl at the ends before settling. "I was turned into a girl." She looked down shamefully, as if it were her fault. The kids snickered a bit, thinking how ridiculous it was for him to just turn into a girl. Jamie stepped forward, more concern on his face than humor. "You had no say, did you?" He asked. Jackie nodded which told the boys to stop laughing. Jamie reached a hand out with a half smile. "Girl or not, you're still my friend." Jackie looked down at him and smiled wildly. She picked him up in a hug and twirled around. Oh god, emotions. She already didn't like the new amount of emotions she felt. She put Jamie back down and cleared her throat. "Anyways, enough feelings, more fun!" She scooped up a good handful of snow and made it into a snowball. She took aim toward one of the boys and threw it, a wild grin still plastered on her face.
Maybe being a girl isn't all that bad!
