Some years later...
It was Valentine's Day, Lovely's favorite times. People could not see her, she just walked slowly, admiring the decorations. Very red, pink, white, and hearts everywhere.
On her way back to the field she went through a fighting couple. She didn't like to hear them fight, this was a time to be happy, a time to love.
"Why are you fighting?" she asked gently, but as usual, they could not see her.
Then she brought forth a flower in her hands and blew the pollen on them. The two apologized to each other, exchanged a kiss and took their hands in one another's as they walked down the street.
Lovely smiled, satisfied, and went back to the field. Then she saw snow. Snow and ice everywhere, balloons exploding in thousands of snow-flakes, people slipping on the ice.
The children apparently were having fun, running around and laughing.
But it should not have been snowing. The winter had passed. Then she saw a boy running down the street with a stick, children chasing them, laughing, with their snowmobiles, their snowboards and skates, all having fun, throwing some snow-balls.
It was good for children to have fun, but it wasn't the season for snow. If she could be seen, she would have a word with that boy.
Then he stopped, waved to smiling children and approached Lovely.
"Hello!"
He could see her? Because he was not dressed in modern clothes like other kids? He controlled the ice and snow? Was he like her?
"You're Lovely Spring?" asked Jack. "The spirit of spring? I've heard of you A pleasure to meet you."
"The pleasure is all are you freezing everything?"
"It's my job."
"Freezing is your job?"
"Children love a snow day. See how they are having fun."
"But it's Valentine's Day! It should not be snowing."
"Valentine's Day is something to adults, children need to have fun."
Jack walked away. He did not like that girl. That's when he heard her voice again.
"How can you be seen?"
"What?"
"Children see you. They talk to you. How?"
"No one sees you?"
"Rarely.. Toddlers, sometimes, and once an old lady flagged me down. But usually I'm invisible."
"That means they do not believe in you. They can only see you if they believe in you."
"How do I get them to believe?"
Jack shrugged.
"Honestly? I don't know. Well, gotta go."
"Wait, you know my name. I don't know yours.."
"It's Jack. Jack Frost, winter spirit of fun and one of five guardians."
She just nodded and watched Jack leave. She would give anything to be like him.
She began her work, unfreezing everything to fix the mess that Jack had caused.
Who did that boy think he was? As a guardian he should be more responsible and not be disrupting the work of others. She wished she could have a word with one of the other keepers on it, but Lovely had no idea where to find any of them. She just continued to work.
Jack watched Lovely for a while, then just flew elsewhere. That was just a bit of fun, but he had real work to do.
