Anise blushes , looking down and hoping he didn't hear what she had said as the boy looked at her up and down, he whistled, looking at Arthur with a smirk . "Didn't think you had it in you Artie~" Arthur blushed, muttering curses as Jack laughed. "W-why you son of a-!"

"So!" Jack said, interrupting Arthur " What's your name Cutie?" he smiled, smirking as Anise blushed brighter. "Her name Is Anise!" Arthur said standing in front her as Jack leaned in closer. "And don't go disrespecting her!" Anise hid behind Arthur, it wasn't like she was scared or anything, at the moment, jack just seemed amazingly hot, which kinda contradicts the fact that he's a winter spirit. Anise sighed, still hiding behind Arthur. Jack and Arthur fought for a while more, they only stop when the bell at the door rings. Arthur smiles, completely ignoring Jack. "Welcome to Arthur's! How can I help you Ma'am?" he says. Jacks rolls his eyes, making his way towards the back, Anise following after him. Jack walks over to the couch and sits down, stretching his arms over his head. He looks over at her and grins "So what's your story?" he says.

Anise blinks a bit , she didn't want to tell him, she didn't even remember everything. With a small sigh she shakes her head. "I don't remember, well much, just bits " Jack nodded his head in understanding. "I see, I can relate" he said, muttering the last bits . The two drift into silence after, Anise decides to check to bread she took out a while ago taking a piece and nibbling on it till it was gone. Arthur comes in only to take the bread to refill the trays out front. A few hours later , he closes shop and makes his way back in. The two clean up then sit down in the living room to rest afterwards. Arthur looks over at a sleeping Jack and sighed, he looked over at Anise who was looking at Jack with a far gone expression. She turned to look at Arthur after, blushing bright red for being caught staring.

"S-so uhnm " she stutters, trying to find the words. Arthur chuckles at the sight.

"How about you go up to bed, I'll bring out a blanket for this moron." Anise nods her head, smiling slightly as they both stand.

Anise goes over to some stairs, which lead up to the second floor bedrooms, she turns and smiles, catching Arthur as he drapes a blue blanket on Jack. She turns again, making her way up the stairs to the room Arthur had let her borrow. She walks in, closing the door behind her. She slipped of her dress and anything that would be uncomfortable to sleep in and changed into her sleeping gown, which Arthur also insisted on her wearing.

Anise walks to the bed, sitting down while pulling the stuffed rabbit on the bed close to her. the Music box sat on the small desk beside the bed, with the purse beside it. She reached for it , looking it over for a bit before she turned the dial at the bottom and let it play.

The top opened upwards, revealing a little girl and two adults. She remembered when she got it, her memories came back when she played the tune the first time. Her mother had seen Anise looking at it through the window of a clock maker's shop when she was about 6, though she didn't know it was a music box at the time, she just loved the colors. When they walked in, there was a boy sitting on the other side of the counter looking bored. He was about the same age as her it seems, the boy looked up from the book he was suppose to be reading. Her mother explained and the boy nodded in agreement. He ran passed the two and got the music box. It was in between that time that a man came out through the door in the back, he stopped to look at Anise's mother, who had done the same.

The boy came back with the music box and stopped as he watched the man, after he was sure the man wouldn't scold him, he handed the music box to Anise who happily took it. After explain the price, Anise's mother looked down at her daughter sadly, it was too much for her to pay. The man noticed, of course and said he would sell it cheaper. It was no news to her now that the man had loved her mother and vice versa, she could see it now.

The music box had been modified to play her favorite song, the tune, similar to a waltz she had heard on her cousins 15th birthday.

She smiled at the memory. At the time though, she had cried so much, the memories of her mother came back as well. The times she was rarely home and then on her sister's, who she still barely remembered, wedding, where she cried for her oldest daughter. After the wedding, Anise took it upon herself to spend more time with her mother, since her sister was gone and was the one who usually did. Her mother always worrying about her sister for the first years she was gone. Anise sighed, she turned the dial again, letting the tune play as she placed the music box back on the desk and sang a song her mother had sung for her when she was younger.

** Tänzerin, Bärenkind

letztes Blatt im Kalender

und ein Lied jemand singt

"Es war einmal im Dezember"

Sag wer hält mich fest im Arm

Schlittenfahrt und doch ist mir warm

Paare drehen sich geschwindt

Musik verweht im Wind

Sag wer hält mich fest im Arm

Schlittenfahrt und doch ist mir warm

Paare drehen sich geschwindt

Musik verweht im Wind

Weit so weit lange schon

Märchtraum im Dezember

Sehnsucht ruft mein Herz nach Haus

über Meere und Länder

Und ein Lied leis erklingt

"Es war einmal im Dezember" **

She sighed looking on as the figures sunk under the top as the tune ended. She looked down at the music box, silent tears rolling down her cheeks as the moon shone brightly in the cold winter night.


The next day, she was woken up by shouts and laughter. She peered at the closed door, groaning as she stood up. Anise let the rabbit fall on at the bed as she slipped on her slippers, something Arthur insisted her on wearing inside the house, and walked out of her room and down the stairs towards the door to the living room/kitchen. She opened the door, revealing a stone, red faced Arthur and a laughing Jack. Anise sighed, knowing full well what had happened. She crossed her arms across her chest , holding back a giggle as Arthur tried and failed to bonk jack on the head with his long spoon. Anise finally walked into the room , stopping the two in between their fight. Anise stood there at the entrance of the living, still in her blue sleeping gown and matching slippers. She glared, or more like pouted if her chubby cheeks said anything about it, at the two, silently asking what the heck they were doing so early in the morning. The two blushed, looking away as the girl raised a brow at their odd behavior. "Well?" She asked. She waited a while and after the boys didn't reply she shook her head and walked back up to her room to get dressed.

A few hours later, the four were having a small breakfast, more was given to Arthur since he was only one who actually needed it . When finished, Arthur and Anise went on doing their daily duties. Clean the house , bake the bread , wash the dishes used, and so on. Jack watched borely from the living room with Boston lying on his lap. When lunch rolled along, they ate then continued. After they had done everything and had sold all the bread, the trio sat down in the living room and did their own thing. Anise had started reading a book of Arthur's , Arthur had done the same, Jack, meanwhile, was playing with boston, which got boring after a while, he taunted Arthur after a while then wandered around the house for a while after.

Arthur was growing agitated by the time jack had come back into the living room for the third time. He groaned, bookmarking his place in the book before standing up and stopping jack from continuing . " Anise, please relieve his boredom somehow! I need to uh go to sleep" he said then briskly walked out of the room and to his bedroom. Leaving the two alone. Anise sighed shaking her head and bookmarking her spot as she stood. She set the book down on the couch and fixed her skirt before smiling and looking at jack. There's a lake nearby, how about we got and skate?" Jack nodded happily .

Anise giggled and walked out of the building from the back entrance, stepping out of her slippers as she felt the fresh snow under her feet. She smiled then leaped out, standing on the tips of her toes as she did an small twirl. Jack watched as the girl danced under the snow, an unknown ballet which she seemed to memorize. Jack found himself dancing along, she gladly danced with him, leaping into the air , hopping he'd catch her, and catch her he did. Jack held her by her waist, gently, he carried her down, though not completely, stopping when she was right in front of him, her sky blue eyes stared right into his crystal ones. Anise blushed looking down as jack finally set her down, his hands still set in her waist . Anise looked up at him, her blush never leaving.

As if in a trance, the two's eyes widened and they separated, as if they were burned. They looked away, both blushing more. "W-we should" he said clearing his throat. "Ah , we should head to the lake!" He finished , faking enthusiasm. Anise nodded head head "y-yeah! L-lake!" She muttered

After 20 minutes of walking in awkward silence, the two had gotten to the lake. Jack grinned instantly, he pulled Anise by the arm towards the now frozen lake. The two skated for the rest of the night. Laughter and giggles resonated amongst the streets, though they went unheard by most. Anise stopped, giggling as Jack kept skating, making funny faces. Suddenly though, jack stopped, his eyes widened and he fell back onto his backside. "W-wendy-!" He exclaimed. Anise raised raised a brow in confusion, she turned around, looking for the source when her eyes landed on a girl in a blue gown. Her blonde hair was up in a bun and she was wearing blue slip ons. Her face was in Ina frown with her arms crossed over chest. "Jack" she started, warningly, "you were suppose to meet me at Arthur's! " She said, her voice was laced with the same accent as Arthur had. "Then I find you here! Playing with an unknown girl!" Jack stuttered, Anise bit her lip, hiding a giggle. "Well?" She said.

"You were t-taking long! A-and Anise asked if I wanted to go ice skating! S-so i-!" The girl, Wendy, only depend her frown. "Then we started dancing and well-"

"Dancing?" She said, cutting him off. Jack only blushed "anyways! How bout we head back to Arthur's?" He said as Wendy nodded her head then turned and walked off. Anise waited until the girl was completo gone before exploding in laughter. "Is she like, your mom or something?" She said, stopping to take a breath. Jack only frown, then briskly walked away, following after Wendy with Anise following.

They got to the bakery in less time than than before. They walked inside though the back entrance . Inside, Wendy was sitting on the couch with Arthur across from her, both were sipping tea and talking as if it was a normal thing. "Finally" they heard Wendy mutter "Let's get goin' now, we have a snowstorm scheduled in two days and you know how Johnny gets when-" she stopped mid sentence, frowning as she saw Anise. "I thought you took her home!" The two flinched, as Wendy's voice hitched an octave higher. "She lives here though, Miss Wind. She the girl I was telling you about. "

Wendy Wind, as she now said , was a girl who died at the age of 21. She died long before any of the guardians but she was still younger than mother nature and the Reaper. Wendy wind controls the north and south winds, while her brother, Peter, controles the east and west winds.

"Finally another girl spirit! There aren't many you know! Let's see, there's Mother Nature, Miss Autumn , Cupid, Tooth and me! " Anise smiled, listening to the spirit as she ranted for a while, she still didn't understand half the things the woman said though. "-so you should come with us! I'm sure mother nature would love to meet you!"

Anise blinked at those words, go with them? She looked over at Arthur who only smiled reassuringly . "U-uhnm don't you have to go to germany though?" As if remembering something she gasped. " You're right!" She said before grabbing jack and pulling him towards the door. "We're free after the storm! So we'll come pick you up!" And they were gone. Anise turned to look at Arthur who was still looking straight at her. "It's your choice" he said, not even letting her talk.

The next few weeks went on as if nothing had happened. They went on with their daily routine of eating, baking and selling then going to bed and repeating. After After a month, Jack and Wendy came back. Anise sighed, wondering If she should go , but when she was told she would be taught how to use her powers, Anise left. to visit Arthur as she left with the pair. Heading where, she was not sure, but she knew it would be worth it. She just knew it.
