"Anyone got a blanket to spare?" Raven heaved the girl's stiff body in front of the fireplace,
"Ooh! Me!" Maddie smiled, and took off her little hat. She fished through her tiny hat, and pulled out a fuzzy, warm blanket, "You can find anything in that hat as long as you look hard enough!" She smiled as she popped her hat on her head.
"Thanks, Maddie." Raven grinned as she wrapped the girl in a blanket. Her skin was cold as ice, "Okay. She's really cold." Ravens eyes widened at the feeling of the girl's cold skin, "Push her closer to the fireplace!"
Kitty and Maddie shoved the girl closer to the fireplace. Immediately, the girl opened up her eyes, yelped, and ran to the other end of the room,
"Too hot! Too hot!" She squeaked. Raven went to the girl,
"It's okay! It's okay!"
"Sorry... I've been frozen for much too long." Jackie rubbed her head.
"See I told you. Frozen." Briar smirked.
"Who... Are you?" Kitty asked,
"I'm Jackie," Jackie brushed her blue and silver dress, "Jackie Frost."
Then the door burst open, and Apple came waltzing in.
"I'm baaaack!" She sang, removing her red mittens and scarf, "And I brought you some cookies just like you asked, Raven." Then, she noticed Jackie, "Um... Who's... That?"
"Umm... Hi." Jackie gave a sheepish grin, waving her fingers at Apple.
"And who are you, dear?" Apple cooed, "You are just adorable! Look at you! Who did your nails? The are just the perfect shade of blue!" Apple kept rambling on about how pretty she thought Jackie looked, with her hair naturally let down, a single delicate snowflake in her hair, her silver and blue dress, icy blue eyes, pale pink lips, and her beautiful pale blonde hair. "You must be starving! Tell you what. Let's go buy some drinks. I know a great place at Book End to buy the most delicious lattes and cookies!"
While Maddie, Briar, and Kitty went ahead with Jackie, Raven and Apple were having a very in-depth discussion.
"Does anyone else know about her?" Apple asked,
"Anyone other than Maddie, You, Briar, Kitty, and I? No."
"Are you planning to tell Principal Grimm? Maybe she can be enrolled!"
"As much as I would love that, she doesn't have a letter of admission. We don't know if her parents enrolled her. If Principal Grimm finds out, the worst thing that can happen is he will banish her."
"Yeah we don't want that." Apple crossed her arms, "but then what are we going to do? Just hide her?"
"I guess that's all we can do for now. Unless you know one teacher who would take it lightly, or unless we find out why she's here, I guess hiding is the only option she's got." Raven heaved a heavy sigh.
"Wow."
"I know."
"No as in, 'wow, look at that line'!" Apple pointed to the Book End Coffee Shop. There was a line trailing out of the shop, onto the road.
Raven was very curious to find out why there was such a long line, "Let's go take a look see."
"You're holding up the line!" Yelled one impatient voice,
"Just choose already!" Hunter tapped his feet impatiently,
"I JUST WANTED A LATTE!" Cried a desperate voice.
"I'm not complaining," smiled Daring, "All the more time to look at my.." he held out his mirrors and struck a pose, "Beautiful face!"
"OFF WITH HER HEAD!" Yelled Lizzie, making a swooping motion with her arm.
"Gee, who's at the front of the line?" Apple looked around,
"Jackie." Raven slapped her face with her palm, clearly embarrassed. Jackie was standing at the front of the counter, bombarding the barista with questions about the drinks.
"Ummm... Is it hot? Hmm.. Oh! Oh! Maybe that one!" The barista at the counter was clearly bored and becoming very impatient, "How about... That one? It's called a blizzard..."
"Choices, choices, choices!" Smiled Maddie, crossing her arms dutifully.
"We need to hurry this up. If Principal Grimm hears about this... He'll come in, and see Jackie!" Raven pursed her lips.
"Fine. Fine." Apple nodded as she marched up next to Jackie, "Jackie?" Apple tapped Jackie's shoulder, "why not just get a cookie maybe? We need to get going."
"Oh yeah. Okay. A cookie please."
"That'll be five charms, miss...?"
"Jackie. Frost. Yeah. I think thats my name..." Jackie scratched her chin, clearly still fazed by the fact that she was just freed from a giant ice cube.
"Apple? We've got trouble."
"What's the matter, Raven?"
"I just saw Principal Grimm step into the shop," Raven narrowed her eyes, "And he's heard about Jackie already."
