Disclaimer: I do not own Frozen or Rise of the Guardians, Disney and DreamWorks do respectively.

Author's Note: This story takes place right as Elsa discovers how to thaw all the ice, and maybe two hundred years before Rise of the Guardians in Jack's timeline. Warning you now, this will fit with the events in Frozen much better than the events in Rise of the Guardians, as I plan on ignoring most of the plot of Rise of the Guardians. Anything in italics is thought. Without further ado…

The King of the Winter Court

"Love! Love will thaw." Elsa beamed. Finally understanding Elsa let her love for Arendelle and its citizens flow from her heart to her hands, and watched with amazement as the ice and snow began to thaw. Luckily for them they had conveniently been standing under a boat, as all the ice and snow began to liquefy. Elsa watched with smug satisfaction as Anna promptly punched Prince Hans in the face, unladylike perhaps, but well deserved. After giving Olaf his own personal snow flurry, Elsa turned back to her sister and saw that Anna and Kristoff were still standing awkwardly next to each other. That's going to be another adventure right there, she thought to herself.

"Well done, Queen Elsa." a voice remarked. Elsa spun around quickly and was astonished to see that the voice had come from Olaf. His eyes had been engulfed in a brilliant blue light. The voice with which he now spoke was subdued and bored, the voice of a messenger who couldn't care less about the message.

"What have you done with Olaf?" She asked, her voice remaining calm.

"Oh the snowman? Don't worry he's just the means of delivery, you'll have him back as soon as I'm done delivering the message, which is as follows." The Voice cleared his throat and continued in a more dignified tone.

"To Her Majesty, Queen Elsa of Arendelle, It is our understanding that you have requested application to the Court. Since you have now passed the introductory skill test, your name has been submitted for consideration for a position in the Winter Court. The next step in the application process is to visit the Court currently located at the South Pole, note the location is liable to change suddenly and inexplicably. Please ask Anyu," pause, "that's me, any questions concerning the matter and respond whether or not you wish to continue the application process. Sincerely Duchess Talvi, Head Assistant to the King." Anyu finished the message with a yawn.

"So, any questions?"

"I never requested an application to this Court, thing!" Elsa exclaimed.

"Yes you did, not officially but Jack Frost, the then Head Assistant filled the application under your name due to your request nearly four years ago.

Four years ago… She wondered. Suddenly, like a flame bursting into life she remembered.

-Flashback-

Seventeen year old Elsa sat on her bed alone and scared. Her powers were still growing and she had yet to learn to control them. As she cried silently to herself there was a soft knock on her window. Curious she got up and carefully walked to it. Opening the drapes she let out a small gasp. Floating outside her window was a young man with snow white hair and crystal blue eyes. They just stared at each other for a full minute before the young man waved at her. Timidly Elsa waved back. He smiled and motioned for her to open the window. Before she did, Elsa quickly formed an ice ball the size of her fist with her magic, One can never be too careful she thought to herself. He glided through the window and landed on her carpet.

He held out his hand and said cheerfully "Hello, I'm Jack Frost. Pleasure to meet you."

"Princess E-e-elsa of Arendelle." she stuttered shaking his hand. He was the most beautiful person she had ever seen, and one of the few young men she had ever seen. Everything about him was mesmerizing, even his hand. Normally other people's skin burned her. But not Jack, his touch was pleasantly cool.

"Now, this is curious" Jack mused, admiring the frost on Elsa's bed where she had been crying. "Let me guess, winter powers you haven't quite gotten the hang of yet?" Elsa nodded. "Well, that would explain why you can see me." Jack muttered under his breath.

"Why would I not be able to see you?"

"I'm a spirit. Most people can't see me, they could if they believed in me but no one believes in little ol' Jack Frost. So far the only people who can see me are other spirits and humans with powers."

"Spirit?" Elsa quivered backing up slightly.

"I'm not a ghost; I had a brief stint with death until the Man in the Moon decided I could be useful. So here I am!" Jack extravagantly bowed and smiled at Elsa. "You have magical powers so my weird history can't be that hard to believe."

"I guess not." Elsa sighed. Then she smiled, because even though she had known this young man… spirit all of five minutes she felt a connection, for the first time in her life Princess Elsa had a person to talk to, a person who could understand what it was like to be different. Elsa and Jack talk for what felt like hours until Jack was called away to do "spirit things".

Jack came and visited Elsa every night for a month. Each time they would sit and talk, or make frozen designs spring to life across her room. One night during the second week Jack was telling her about his home.

"It's a palace made entirely of ice that moves around the globe we build it wherever it won't melt for at least 2 months. There are places where it would never melt but we like change, we like to build and rebuild the palace."

"So what's your job?

I'm the Senior Undersecretary to the King, Old Man Winter. Rubbish title if you ask me, makes me sound like a toad. What I actually do is, I'm in charge of the fun aspect of winter since Old Man Winter is well, an old man. The King's been around for a really long time, a lot of people think he'll retire soon."

"He can retire? That's odd."

"Well when you're an immortal spirit, I suppose you'd have to keep moving or you'd get bored."

"He's immortal? Are all spirits immortal, Are you immortal?"

"One of the plus sides of being king is they're always immortal; another perk is they can decide what age to appear. Mother Nature set it up so the king could decide when he was sick of the job, and he gets to pick his successor. Only the Kings, or Queens of seasons are immortal all other spirits are just extremely long lived, including me."

"Can anyone join?"

"Only people with winter powers, most of us are spirits but humans are allowed if they show enough skill."

"Could I join?"

"Why can't bear to be away from me?" Jack teased

"In your dreams Ice Boy!" The subject of Jack's home was dropped as a snowball fight broke out.

-Present-

"He did that for me? Hmm." Elsa was bemused Jack had seemed like the type of person to forget.

"Your answer?" Anyu inquired sounding impatient.

"For the moment… Yes, but I may change my mind." Elsa stood taller and straightened her dress. "I require more information before proceeding any further, but I have a country that needs my attention. If his majesty Old Man Winter could send someone in, say a week I would have more time to address the matter."

Anyu had looked puzzled for moment when Elsa said Old Man Winter. The confusion disappeared from his eyes as soon as it had come. "Very well Queen Elsa, someone will be in contact with you in a week." The blue light flashed once and then receded from Olaf.

"Whoa, nearly melting must have messed with my head." He shook his head and looked up at everyone. "What are you all looking at? I still have my nose right?" Olaf reached up and grabbed his nose in a panic. Anna and Kristoff started laughing, hesitantly Olaf joined in "But really, what did I miss?"
