I finally. SAW. FROZEN. Finally, after thousands of years! Mwahahahaha- okay, not really, probably a month, give or take a few days. But yeah. I have to admit I was indifferent to watching it, because I thought I was getting too old for disney and... it just... looked like the average run-of-the-mill plot line to me. Female lead, falls in love with incredibly handsome guy, has evil sister for a queen, and a comedic relief snowman thrown in there. *shrug* however, the fans on tumblr, deviantART and on here really changed my perspective of it, given how much attention it's gotten. Now I could probably go on and on how much I love this film and everything about it, but... maybe I should explain the title, eh? Still reading? Cool.

So, mind you I haven't watched Rise of the Guardians in so long. Maybe if I find it on youtube I'll get around to watching it. In the forum, I noticed that a lot of you people are shipping Elsa with Jack. At first, I couldn't really see him dating her because he's "imaginary" to kids, but you guys created the Big Four with Merdia, Hiccup, Jack, and Rapunzel, so I just decided to roll with it. When I roll with things... I slowly become obsessed. And I create fanfics. And I draw the characters. *awkward silence*

...heh. Yeah, that's my story. This is going to be about how I think Elsa and Jack should fall in love, with a few obstacles thrown here and there. The scene opens up when the Guardians were trying to deliver all the coins to save the memories from Pitch, then they'll be a timeskip in regarding each respective movie.

Without further ado...

How to Thaw a Frozen Heart

Chapter one: Candlestine meeting

Nobody would ever imagine two worlds to collide. It was unheard of. Strange. Especially for the Guardian of Winter. Now, he's certainly met many interesting characters in his lifetime. When he was human, and when the Man in The Moon chose him. However… nothing can top seeing the young princess of Arendelle all alone, with no one to console her.

And this is where our new story begins. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to, but all that's necessary for you is to listen.

Jack laughed as he hung onto the edge of the sleigh, ignoring The Easter Bunny's taunts. He smirked up at his fellow guardian, and jumped onto a roof, ready to find a child who believes.

"Hah! Beat you!" Tooth exclaimed, waving the memory in her hand. Jack pouted and threw his staff on the ground.

"Hey, no fair!" He grumbled. He stuck out his tongue.

She giggled and buzzed off, her little fairies flying after her. "C'mon Jack, you should know this by now! I'm a natural!"

The Easter Bunny laughed and smirked at him. "Arendelle's one of our biggest jackpots to date. So quit snogging and get moving, we still have a lot of ground to cover, mate!"

Jack blushed at his choice of words and nodded, picking up his staff. In a matter of minutes, the gang of Guardians finished their task, and were just about to fly off to the next kingdom. However, a small cry alerted Jack's ears, and he yelled out to stop the sleigh. North looked at him in surprise.

"What's the matter, boy? We got everyone!"

He shook his head in bewilderment, turning his head towards the castle in the distance. "No, no, I could've sworn I heard…"

The elder Guardians each shared a look, unsure of how to tell him. The eldest royal child didn't believe in any of them. She was only upset over how she hurt her sister, and spent day after day trying to keep everyone locked out of her room. As much as they tried to bring joy to her, it seemed Pitch became of her first.

Tooth sighed and fluttered over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "We'll wait for you here."

"What?!" Both the Easter Bunny and North exclaimed. The Sandman's eyes grew wide and he had a question mark over his head.

Jack smiled gratefully at her and nodded, flying off towards the castle.

"You… you just…but…!"

The fairy glared and folded her arms. "If anyone can save her, it's Jack. Come on, have a little faith, would you? Elsa needs somebody like him…"

Meanwhile, the young Guardian laughed as he slid across the ice, picking up speed with his hands. He finally stopped at the large castle, admiring the architecture and beauty surrounding it. He sighed when he didn't hear anything else. Maybe it was just the wind. Maybe the stress of everything was just getting to him. But no. Suddenly he heard that same cry again, and gasped, flying off to the opposite end of the castle.

There he saw a beautiful little girl in the windowsill, with her hair as white as snow and her cheeks just as pale. She wore a pretty blue dress to match her head-band, with her hair placed in a neat braid that hung down to her shoulders. Despite her beauty however, he could sense much desperation in her heart , a black cloud covering anything bright or cheery. He felt sympathy for her. He didn't know what she was going through at this time, but all he wanted to do was help her. That was his center, after all, right?

Taking a deep breath, he gently stood on the perch, easing his hand on the window. It froze, and Elsa gasped in fright, thinking that it was her power. She collapsed onto the floor with a yelp, clutching her hand in fear.

"It's… it's getting stronger… w-w-why is it getting stronger?"

Jack raised his eyebrow, having no idea what she's talking about. Still, though, he shook his head, and tried a different approach. "Hey… don't be scared. What's the matter?"

She let out a gasp when she heard the whispery voice, curling up her hands. "Wh-who said that?! G-g-g-go away! I don't want to hurt you!"

He paused for a moment in shock. She heard him. She heard him without even believing. He didn't even know that could be possible. "You… you can really hear me?"

She nodded, desperately looking around for him. "I-I mean it, go away! I'll… I'll have my mommy call the guards on you!"

Jack had to laugh at that, as he hopped onto the floor, dragging the snow with him. "Come on, but that wouldn't be fun! I wouldn't be able to show you all the amazing things that I could do." To demonstrate, he formed a snowball in his hands, and started bouncing it up and down. Elsa's eyes grew wide as she saw this power. Slowly, she took a few steps towards him.

"You… can create snow too?"

He nodded, and threw it at her, causing her to giggle. He felt all warm and fuzzy inside when that noise reached his ears. "Oh, where are my manners? I didn't even introduce myself yet. I'm Jack. Jack Frost."

Elsa smiled as she remembered the name now; her mother told her and Anna stories of the Guardians many times before the sisters went to bed. She loved them so much she really believed them to be true. But that was… that was before she almost… She shook her head at the memory, wiping her eyes free of tears. She smiled up at the Guardian, giving him a curtsey. "I'm Elsa. Princess of Arendelle."

He faked a gasp of surprise, placing his hand to his heart. "Oh, your highness! Forgive me for barging in at this ungodly hour. Is there anything I could do to make up for my fault?"

You can LEAVE, She thought, although a small side of her didn't want him to. She couldn't fathom why. She put her hand to her chin in pretend thought while Jack steadied himself on his staff. "Hmm… well, I guess a punishment is in order. My father always says that no one should get away scott-free."

Jack smirked, folding his arms now. "Hit me with your best shot."

Elsa for a second forgot why she was scared in the first place. Excited, she formed a snowball in her hands, and chucked it at Jack's shoulder. He wasn't fazed at all by it, and he laughed, knowing all too well where this could go.

"Alright, let's play!"

The young princess giggled and formed another snowball, only to be blocked by him again. He swooped down to get close to her, and pulled her into his arms. She screamed out in delight.

"Lemme go, lemme go!"

He shook his head, pushing open the door. "Hey, the fun just started! Why have a snowball fight inside when we have a whole world to explore?!"

As the two laughed and giggled, North and the other Guardians watched with perplexed expressions on their faces. The jolly man spoke up first.

"Well color me surprised." He chuckled, folding his arms.

"He… he actually did it." Bunnymund echoed, his mouth gaping in surprise. "And she doesn't even know we exist!"

North smirked and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Love works in mysterious ways, Bunny." The Sandman said nothing as per usual, but he couldn't help but smile along with the little girl as she and Jack played in their snow. Tooth, on the other hand, felt a pang of jealousy shot through her. She slouched in her seat. Why? Why would she feel like that over harmless play?

Elsa formed a giant wall to block any attacks Jack might throw at her, giggling at the guardian's frustration.

"You really think a block of ice is going to stop me?" He asked her, peeking around it to see her. "Ha-hah!" With a grunt, he made the wind blow her away from the fort. She let out a gasp of surprise; no one had ever seen through her before. Not even Anna, when she was old enough to play.

"Told you," He announced proudly, "I am a Guardian after all."

"Hey, I was supposed to punish you!" She exclaimed as she got up. Jack held out his hand for her.

"Sorry, your highness. I should've warned you how great and powerful my abilities were before you tried to test them." He answered back smartly. Elsa however, let her face fall as the cold wind became more blizzard-like than before. She was suddenly reminded why she had to be locked up in that room. Why no one knew of her. She was dangerous. And any false move, made right now, could ruin this friendship that was just beginning to happen. Sure, she liked Jack, but… she couldn't anymore. Even if he did know this kind of magic just like her. She's…. she's still a monster.

Frowning, she wrapped her arms around her shoulders. "Yeah, you should've. Now. Take me back. I don't want to waste a second out here." All fun and games were gone now.

Jack was surprised by this change in behavior, and tried to reach out to her. "But… Elsa… w-we haven't even played for keeps, yet…"

She glared at him. "I-I don't care! You don't know what I went through and you never will!"

The blizzard around them didn't faze him at all. "You're just upset that you lost."

She was getting desperate. Guards would probably be coming at any second. "Ugh… just…. Leave!" Suddenly, he was blown away by a huge burst of snow, and he struggled to hold his balance with his staff. He could barely see her underneath everything. He desperately reached out to her.

"Elsa! ELSA, please, just listen to me! I may not know what happened but I want to help you! I—!" He rammed face first into the sleigh, with the Easter Bunny holding him down. He struggled to break free, struggled to get past the guards that were now trying to console the princess, but he couldn't.

"Hey, get off me! Bunny, I swear to you-!"

"Jack," He stated calmly. "Let her go. She's too far gone."

"Elsa…." He whimpered in return, not taking her eyes off of what is now just a small, blue dot in the distance. And quite possibly it's something she ever will be to him.

Everything that happens after is pretty much cannon. God, I'm so depressing...
