I decided to rewrite this because I didn't feel like writing the arch that I was going to be a continuation for this, but I revised the ending a little bit because I thought it was horrid before.

Thank you blackdragon157 for reviewing!

Disclaimer: I own nothing :(

It was early morning, the sun was just peeking over the horizon, but Emma Overland was as awake as ever.

"Jack." She peered over to her brother's side of the room.

He was sleeping.

"Oh great." She thought. It was going to be a lot harder to wake him up now.

"Jaack." She said a little louder. No response.

"Jack!" She yelled. Still, no response.

Emma huffed and got up from her bed and walked to the door of their room. If words won't wake him up, then brute force will.

"JACK!" She hollered as she flung herself at her brother's sleeping form, successfully landing on her target which yelped in surprise.

Jack sat up and met the big chocolate eyes of his sister. "Emma what do you want, it's not even sunrise." He said in a tired, sleepy voice.

She quickly looked out the window. "Yes it is." She replied as a matter of factly.

"Well, it's still early." Jack said sitting cross-legged on his bed.

"Ya I know." Emma stated. "I'm just bored." Jack looked down at his little sister and ruffled her auburn hair. "You know what, there's plenty of snow on the ground. After we eat, we can go outside and play in it!"

"Really?! An-and can I bring some of my friends and, and we'll have a HUGE snowball fight!" Emma exclaimed madly as she jumped up and down on her brother's bed.

Jack laughed at his little sister's antics. "Sure, just calm down okay?"

"Okay!" Emma yelled she ran out of the room into the kitchen, where her mother was cooking breakfast.

"Mom, mom, mom guess what! Jack said when we're done eating we're gonna go outside and get my friends and have the BIGGEST snowball fight in the whole widest world!" Emma exclaimed wildly while tugging at her mother's dress.

Her mother looked down from what she was cooking and smiled fondly at her youngest child. "Is that so?"

"Yesyesyesyes!" She yelled, pulling at her mothers dress even harder.

"Well go get cleaned up, okay?"

"Okay!" And with that, she flew out of the room, almost running Jack over as he enter the kitchen.

"Jackson." His mother said calmly without looking up from the food she was cooking.

"Ya?" Jack asked as he sat down and grabbed a piece of toast. He was wearing a white colonial shirt and a brown vest, with a buckskin cloak draped around his shoulders.

"Your sister says that you, her, and her friends are going to have the biggest snowball fight in the whole 'widest' world." She explained to Jack, repeating Emma's grammatical error.

"Yes we are, as a matter of fact." He replied in a respectful manor.

"Okay then, just be careful." Ms. Overland said as she added wood to the cooking fire.

"Don't worry, its just gonna be by the schoolhouse." Jack replied as Emma jumped onto his back, begging to have a piggy-back ride.

Ms. Overland sighed and kissed her two children on the forehead. "Alright then, move along." She said as she ushered the two of them out of the house. She took one last glance at them until they disappeared onto the dirt path that lead to the village.

"C'mon Jack! Faster, faster!" Her sister exclaimed happily as her brother carried her on his back. "I'm running as fast as I can!" He huffed as he raced down the path, the village in sight.

When they got to the schoolhouse, Emma saw her friends Rose, April, Madison, and Julie building a snowman and ran towards them.

"Hey guys, do you want to have a snowball fight with me and Jack?"

Rose spoke. "Well, we were building our snowman..."

"Please Rose, we've been best friends ever since we met and I promise it'll be really fun because Jack is here!" Emma blurted out.

All of Emma's friend's heads perked up at the name, and when they saw Jack walking over to the schoolhouse, they all stampeded over the half-finished snowman and made a beeline towards him.

"Jack, Jack!" They all screamed in unison while tackling him onto a snow bank. Jack was usually the one who watched the children when the adults couldn't. Most of the boys his age would go hunting, but not Jack. Not ever. He couldn't stand to see an animal get killed, let alone he doing it.

Once he got out of the snow bank, they had a pretty fun snowball fight. It was he, Emma, and Rose versus April, Madison, and Julie, but in the end they all ended up collapsing on the snow bank. He got a few strange looks from the adults and some of the older kids. They would always say stuff like "Isn't he too old to be playing with the younger children," or "He should act more responsible instead of fooling around," but Jack didn't care what other people thought.

Jack didn't know why, but he liked having fun. I mean other people might too, but it felt like, apart of him. He didn't know why but he loved making other people stop what they're doing and have fun. It just felt so right. He didn't notice the moon poking out of the clouds and looking down at him, shinning a little brighter...

"Jack?" Emma spoke softly as they walked down the dirt path to their house. It was getting late, and the sky was turning into an array of pinks and oranges.

"Yes Emma?"

"You'll always be here for me, right?" She asked warily.

Jack chuckled, pushing a few strands of hair out of her face. "Of coarse Em, how could I ever leave you, I'll always be there for you." He promised.

Emma just smiled at herself for being so doubtful.

If only she knew how wrong she was.

"Hey Jack, can we go ice skating tomorrow?"

I don't know if Jack's sister has an official name, so I'll call her Emma since a lot of people are.
