Author's note: This is my first Fan-Fic ever, so please be gentle.

Love is a fickle thing. Such a strong emotion, and yet, somehow so unrecognizable, so easily mistaken, even to those who know it best, love is a mystery.

100 years before Jack becomes a guardian

A small forest just south of Burkess, this is where our story begins. Jack Frost wandered through the forest near his home town. He touched the trees creating delicate floral patterns on their trunks. He couldn't help himself, it didn't matter that winter was ending and giving way to spring. He would make it snow every day of the year if he could. He sent a cold gust of wind out. It chilled the air and made Jack smile. That smirk changed into a look of confusion when he saw the girl at the pond.

She was very short, though he couldn't tell exactly how short, and even from where he floated, he knew she was beautiful. She had long red hair that hung down to the middle of her back in almost wild curls. They seemed to move on their own around her face. Jack couldn't quite see her face, but he saw that her skin was pale, her nose, much like his own, was turned up in a mischievous way. She was currently walking across his newly frozen pond. That was when jack noticed she had bare feet…and wasn't wearing a coat.

Where she stepped on the pond, he saw the ice begin to melt and crack. Something inside him urged to help her. He flew over and touched the ice on the pond, only to find it hot. He pulled his hand away from the burning ice and looked at the girl. With every step she took she got closer and closer to falling into the frozen pond.

"What are you doing?" he said, "you're gonna get hurt." Jack often spoke like this to people. They couldn't hear him, or see him. He would often pretend that they could to ease his own mind, and to comfort him. So imagine his surprise when the girl turned around and looked straight at him.

Her piercing green eyes starred into his and Jack felt something stir in his chest. Like a million snowballs being pelted around the walls of his stomach. He felt a blue blush creep onto his cheeks when the girls spoke.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. Her voice was soft and smooth, like a caress. Jack felt a strange sensation spread across his chest. He looked behind him, and saw no one. He looked back at the girl and she was still staring at him.

"Can you see me?" he asked hesitantly. She chuckled a little before nodding.

"Of course I can see you." She said the ice under her feet was getting thinner and thinner. "Who are you?" she said. Jack stood up slowly and watched the girl. The ice was cracking under her feet. She seemed oblivious to the crumbling foundation, but Jack wasn't. There was a loud crack and Jack lunged at the girl. He grabbed her around the waist and tumbled into a pile of snow, for a nice soft landing.

"Jack Frost." He said to the girl who he now had cradled protectively against his chest. He noticed she was hot…temperature wise. With her in his arms he could feel his skin burning. "You're really hot." He said. Her eyes widened for a moment before she understood his meaning and rolled out from his grasp.

"Sorry" she said, her cheeks were stained a delicate pink from the obvious miscommunication. She looked back over towards the pond where she had just been standing. The ice was slowly reforming over the surface. She sighed in frustration. "Will you stop freezing the lake winter is over." She said turning back on Jack. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"You know who I am?" he asked in disbelief, someone actually knew who he was; someone could see him and hear him. His ice blue eyes widened with pure joy.

"Of course, you're a winter spirit, it's not hard to tell, especially when you add the fact that you are freezing" the girl said. Jack examined the small girl. She looked to be about his age, well his apparent age at least. She wore very little clothing considering how cold it was. Just a simple pink dress that made her hair seem much brighter.

"You're not human are you?" he asked, the sadness clear in his voice. She turned around at the change in his demeanor. Her green eyes melted at the expression on his face.

"No, I'm a summer sprit." She walked back over to him, "among other things." Jack noticed the snow melting under her feet. "Look I'm sorry, but winter's over. Summer's on its way." She said the last part with a smile on her face.

When she smiled Jack felt the return of the snowballs. He would do anything to keep that expression of pure joy on her face. Suddenly an idea popped into his head.

"Well" he said with a confident smirk on his face. "You can't just go straight from winter to summer; you have to have spring in between." She looked over at him with an eyebrow raised.

"True" she said hesitantly.

"We could always share spring and fall." He said, trying to sound nonchalant. He was subconsciously drawing patterns of frost on a nearby log. He starred at her face, gauging her reaction. She seemed hesitant at first, but she seemed to warm up to the idea. The smile returned to her face, which sent Jack's stomach into summersaults.

"Okay" she said floating up into the air, "Happy spring Jack." She rose up her arms and sent out a warm gust of wind. The snow blew off the trees and melted on the ground. The sun seemed to shine a little brighter and the air definitely felt a little warmer. Jack narrowed his eyes playfully at the girl. "Your move" she said. Jack smirked before he realized something.

"Hey" he called out, she turned her head back to him "what's your name?" he asked. The smile on her face widened and the light pink blush crept back onto her cheeks, "Amora Summer"

Jack sighed, "Amora" he whispered to himself, once she was out of ear shot. He banged his staff on the ground and sent out a wave of frost, but it melted quickly. He tries once more, with slightly more success. He looked back in the direction that his new friend had just flown off into and flies after her. They both leave trails of seasonal magic that mix together to create spring.
