"The Spirit of Joy!?" Jack cried. Platinum nodded.

"Yes. I also have sisters like me. Diamond is the Spirit of Courage and Pearl is the Spirit of Trust. We work together to help and protect kids... well, they never let me help."

Jack was confused. The Spirit of Joy isn't allowed to help and protect kids because of her sisters? That's not right! Jack thought. He stared into Platinum's gray eyes and they stare right back into his icy blue ones. He saw sadness in the Joy Spirit's eyes.

"I really don't want to talk about this, Jack," she said, taking a step back. Jack knows an escape when he saw one. He needs to know what happened. Platinum turns a gets ready to take off when she feels a hand grab hers. She turns her head to face Jack. His skin felt like ice on hers.

"If there's anything I could do to help you, I will do whatever it is. I just need to know what happened." Jack said. Platinum's eyes lit up. She smiles and takes a step forward, slipping her hand into Jack's.

"Thank you, Jack. I'll tell you anything you want to know," she said, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. They look at their joined hands and then at each other. Both of them have a slight bit of pink on their pale cheeks as they withdraw their hands and look away.

"Well, um... I best be going, then" Platinum said. She winks at Jack before taking off and flying away. Jack watches in awe how graceful the young spirit is and how fast she can move. "Wow," he says. Then, he turns and flies away to others.

"Well, did you get her?" Jamie asked. Jack shrugged. "She said her name is Platinum and she's actually the Spirit of Joy. Her sisters are the Spirit of Courage and the Spirit of Trust," Jack explains. The kids eyes are wide with surprise.

"Really?! I've heard that they are harder to spot than you and the Guardians!" Jamie exclaimed.

Jack chuckled. "Okay, who's ready to get pelted by snowballs?" he asked, forming a snowball in his hand. The kids ran in different directions as Jack chased them, throwing snowballs at them. They laughed and played until it was time for all of them to go. Jack walked with Jamie to his home and said good-bye.

Flying over the town, Jack was thinking about what had happened today. Especially Platinum. "I can't believe it. The Spirit of Joy. And her sisters are Courage and Trust," he said to himself. His heart leaped with joy and his insides got this tingly feeling inside. Jack never had this feeling in all his three hundred years. He can probably guess this is the feeling many humans get when they like someone a lot. Jack sighed. He wanted to see Platinum again.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something white and fast zip past and into the woods. It appeared to be glowing. Jack turned and followed. The woods were dark, so dark it was hard to fly through without bumping into a tree. Jack rounded a tree and saw the glowing white object. It floated to the edge of a cliff and touched the ground. The object shifted and dimmed, forming a human shape. The glowing stopped fully and revealed the figure. It was Platinum. Jack hid behind a tree and peeked out. Platinum's gray eyes are distant and longing. A cool breeze caused her silvery white braids to flap in the wind. The full moon came from behind the clouds and shined brightly. Platinum looked up.

"I know I did was wrong, but what choice did I have?" she spoke to the moon. "I'm the Spirit of Joy and I'm supposed to spread that joy to everyone. They wouldn't be happy if my sisters kept me locked up forever. I need to be free. Like Jack Frost."

Jack's eyes widen. She left to be free like he was! The moon's glow dimmed and went back to normal. Platinum sighed and took a step back, getting ready to take off. Suddenly, the ground beneath her cracked and she froze and looked down. If she moved, the ground with fall along with her.

Jack, seeing the fear in her eyes, slowly and quietly moved behind Platinum. When he was two feet away, he pointed his staff at her. He hooked the curve end around her waist. Platinum flinched at the touch and the cracks spread. Slowly and carefully, Jack pulled the staff towards him, pulling Platinum along with it. Her back touched Jack's chest and stopped there. Jack smiled.

"You okay, Platinum?" he asked. Platinum nodded. She turned around, the staff still around her waist. She hugged Jack. Jack, who still wasn't used to physical contact, stood there for a moment and then place an arm around her back. Platinum buried her head in Jack's blue hoodie. She didn't care how cold Jack's body was.

"Thank you. I was so scared, I thought I was going to die," she whispered.

"Your safe with me, Platinum," Jack whispered back. He dropped his staff and place his other arm around Platinum. Neither of them wanted to let go. They stood there in the woods, under the light of the moon.
