Everyone stood in the main chamber. Love sat on the railing facing the globe, and stared at the little lights as her wings pressed against her bare back. Jack stared at her silently, then looked at the others. His eyes landed on Tooth. "Can we help her?" He muttered. Tooth stared at Jack, then shook her head slowly. She clasped her hands together out of habit, and sighed.
"I'm sorry Jack. This is the kind of thing Love needs to do on her own." The others nodded in agreement. Jack's gaze shifted to the ground, and frowned.

"We will make sure she get's better Jack" North stated making the teen look up at the jolly Russian. "But now we must take care of other business." North said, and patted the young winter spirit's shoulder. Jack nodded, and the everyone walked over to Love. She heard their footsteps and turned her head. She smiled, and turned around completely. North gave her a serious look. "Love." He stated. Love quickly caught his tone, and stopped smiling. "What did Lust mean by 'Special Day'?" Love stared at him shocked, then averted her eyes down to the arrow she was holding. She twirled it slowly, then made it disappear. Her eyebrows knitted together angrily at the sound of Lust's name.

She bit her lip lightly, and relaxed. "Valentines day." She stated lowly. She looked up at everyone with a forced smile. "The biggest day for cupids. It is also a big test for many of them as well. My old job was to train new cupids. Show them how everything works. On Valentines day those new cupids go out, and do a number of missions on their own. Eros would run the whole shebang." She paused. Her throat suddenly feeling dry. "This year is my big test as well..." She trailed off for a moment. She sniffled, and swallowed a lump in her throat. "Eros wanted me to lead this years Valentines day..." Love started to shake violently. She raised a hand to her wet cheek, and sniffled. Her eyes shot up at her friends concerned faces. She choked a sob, then spread her wings. She was gone in a millisecond.

The others exchanged glances. "Valentines day. That's eight months away." Bunnymund stated. "Why would Lust tell us about her plan?" Bunny asked to no one in particular. Sandy made a bear trap figure above hit head. Bunny scratched his neck, an nodded. "Could be mate." North hummed a single note as he thought deeply. Jack stared at the place where Love sat a second ago.

Suddenly a female voice giggled. Jack snapped his head away from the globe, and looked around. The others were discussing what Lust could possibly be planning. Jack narrowed his eyes confused. The voice giggled again. "Come on Jack!" The voice called and laughed. Jack walked over to the ledge, and scanned the area. Across the room he saw long brunette hair duck behind a pillar. The voice giggled again. "Come on Jack!" She yelled. Jack looked back at the others, then ran over to the other side of the room. He saw the brunette hair peaking out of a pillar not far from him. He quickly ran towards it, and looked around it. No one.

Jack stared at the empty spot confused. The girl giggled again. 'Who is that?' Jack asked himself. Suddenly a pair of slightly tanned arms wrapped around his shoulders. The girl chuckled next to his ear. Her hair brushing against his neck as she hugged him. A sharp pain hit Jack's head as the girl held him. She rested her head on the back of his shoulder, and started to hum a little tune. Jack winced, and his hands flew up to his head. beads of sweat started to drop from his forehead. The girl continued to hold him. Images of a brunette girl started to flash in front of him. Her face was extremely blurry, but she still seemed familiar.

Love recovered from her little episode, and started to fly back. As she was soaring down the hall her eye caught Jack leaning against the wall holding his head in pain. A black shadow hovered over him. Love's eyes widened, and quickly flew over to him. The shadow spotted her, and vanished in thin air. Jack collapsed onto the ground, and gasped for air. "Jack!" Love yelled, and knelt down next to him. She propped him up against the wall, and cupped his face gently. Jack's head rested lazily against the wall. "Jack? Jack. Hey! Jack look at me." Love said frantically.

Jack groaned loudly. His head was pounding. He looked up, and saw Love's worried expression. His hands moved on their own, and slowly cupped Love's face. Love looked at him surprised, then gave him a small smile. Jack smiled back, but winced when the blurry brunette flashed again. "You nearly scared me to death Jack Frost!" Love yelled. Jack chuckled softly. The two stared at each other for a moment. Jack's eyes shifted down to Love's full pink lips. started to pull her face towards him. Love blushed as their nose's touched. "J-Jack?" She asked.

"YO-CHA!" The two jumped, and quickly separated. Phil stood in front of them just as embarrassed as them. He pointed down signaling that they were needed in North's office. The two stood up awkwardly. Jack tugged on the end of his sweater as Love fixed her flower tiara. Phil scratched his head, then lead them down stairs. When the two entered the office North tried to ignore the teens flustered faces, and went right to business.

"We believe that Lust isn't working alone. Pitch might be back..." Love's eyes widened. She never met Pitch, but she did remember Tooth telling her about the fight between the guardians and Pitch. She knew that he was bad. Probably more evil than Lust.

Lust's Castle

The shadow flew into the castle. It shaped into a large puma, and ran into the remains of Eros' office. It growled lowly as it approached Lust. Lust sat on a large thrown of black vines intertwined with each other. Lust smirked, and stroked it's back. "Did you succeed?" She asked. The puma roared loudly. Lust smirked "Good." She waved her hand, and a vine slither towards her with a large shard of crystal. She ran her finger tips across it gingerly. "Soon." She trailed off gloomily. "We will meet again..." She whispered to herself. She shooed the shadow puma away, and continued to stare at the image in the crystal.

1500's

Love stared out the window of Eros' office. Her wings fluttered excitedly as she saw another cupid fly past the window. She heard wings flapping and turned around. She smiled widely. Love finally mastered talking, but she'd often complain about her throat burning. She saw a multi-colored woman flying with Eros. The woman looked her age. Love stared at her wings unconsciously. They were similar to a hummingbirds. Love would see those kinds of birds when she would follow Eros on a mission, but lately she hasn't been allowed outside of the castle. Eros spotted Love, and grinned. "Hey Love! You know Toothiana, right?" Toothiana smiled widely, and dove towards Love.

Love's eyes widened as her mouth was suddenly opened too wide for comfort. She gasped. "Your teeth are beautiful!" She shouted as she stretched Love's mouth to see the back of her mouth. Love looked at Eros, who stood there amused. Toothiana pulled away, and giggled. "I'm sorry, but your teeth are so white! It's amazing!" Love couldn't help but laugh at Toothiana's strange behavior.

"Eros talks about you a lot." Love stated. Eros glared at Love as his face turned scarlet. Love giggled, and looked back at Toothiana. "He also talks about 'guardians'. What are they exactly?" Love asked curiously. Toothiana's face seemed to light up, and she pulled Love towards a little couch.

"Guardians are people like us that protect the children of earth. The man in the moon gathered some of his best warriors to help fight Pitch Black." She paused for a moment. Her face twisted a little after mentioning Pitch's name. She shook her head, and continued. "That fight is over though. I'm the guardian of memories. The teeth that we pick up from kids hold precious childhood memories." She continued to tell Love about the guardians. Love was amazed by the things Toothiana told her. After that day Love would often visit Toothiana and the baby teeth. They became very close friends.

Present

North's Workshop

After the meeting Love was instructed to stay in the workshop at all times. Love decided not to mention that Jack was attacked by some sort of shadow. Jack was walking Love back to her room, and an awkward silence hung over them. Love glanced up at him. He looked completely drained. It worried her. She raised her arm, and rested her hand on his shoulder. She quickly pulled away when he winced.

Jack felt completely warn out. North and Bunnymund wouldn't stop bothering him about him and Love. He also couldn't get the girls laugh out of his head. She'd keep flashing, and appearing around him. He had to figure out who she was. She seems to close to him, but he can't remember.
