Rapunzel sat impatiently on the hill, looking over her shoulders constantly. It was nearing afternoon, the moon had long disappeared but the sun had not made it completely off of the horizon. A chill ran down her spine as a breeze brushed by. The sound of footsteps sounded from her left and she stood. "Jack? Jack Frost?"
Jack paused and raised one eyebrow in a moment of shock and confusion. "Yes,"
A small squeal escaped from her as she danced up to him. She had a golden glow about her that seemed to flare in her happiness. "You can hear me! And you can see me? Can't you?" She waved her hand in front of his face.
Jack smirked and caught her hand, "Yes, yes I can."
Rapunzel's eyes laughed as much as her smile as she gripped Jack's other hand. She bounced with excitement. "You can touch me! I can feel you!" Her smile faded slowly as she stared down to their hands. "You're so cold…"
"Yeah, it comes with the job." Jack was about to move his hand when he noticed a strange sensation in his arm. He looked down and noticed the frost that had once ornamented his hoody and staff was melting away. He began to panic when he saw what hair was visible hanging in front of his eyes shift to brown. Jack yanked his hand away and was relieved, yet strangely disappointed, when the frost returned.
"Oh, I'm sorry…" Rapunzel clasped her hands behind her back quickly.
"Who are you?" Jack was now entirely intrigued.
"I'm Rapunzel. Or, well, according to the moon I'm Mother Nature. All 'powers' assumed, I guess it makes sense. I have had plenty of time to experiment with what all I can do. Being involved with the sun and all-" Her jaw dropped into a dramatic gasp. She circled Jack as she spoke, "The moon! He said I have to help the children! They were taken! You," She paused as she pointed directly to Jack's nose. "You are supposed to help me help them. We have to go. We have to go now!-"
Jack laughed and caught her shoulder with the crook of his staff. "Wow, you're a bit excitable, aren't you? Well," A breeze swept by and Jack floated in place. He held out his hand. "You don't have to worry about the children for now. The others have them handled. We do need to go, though." Rapunzel took his hand and clung to him as the wind rushed them high into the air. Her laughter echoed out over the hills they had been standing on.
Rapunzel brushed her hair from her face. "Where are we going?"
"I'm taking you to the North Pole, to meet the others. Manny instructed that you be made a Guardian, too." Jack maneuvered awkwardly through the wind, having to carry extra weight that he wasn't used to.
Rapunzel saw his difficulty and smirked, "The North Pole?"
"Yep,"
An evil grin slipped across her face and she looked at Jack. "I'll bet I can beat you there."
"What?" He paused when Rapunzel let go of him and her weight began to ease from him.
"You ride on the winter winds," Her golden glow began melting through Jack's frost again, "But I am the wind." Her glow engulfed her with one bright burst of light, and suddenly she was gone.
Jack glanced around in a moment of terror, but suddenly understood the game when he felt a warm breeze blow by and heard Rapunzel's unmistakable laughter drift by him. He grinned, accepting the challenge. "You're on!"
