Jack looked solemnly at his sister while they flew. He had seen her reaction to seeing her brother, her actual brother, and it had made his chest burn with some unwanted emotion. He had never felt it in all of his 300 hundred years, but he knew what it was.

Jack was jealous of Blaze. There was no other way around it. Blaze was Snow's big brother, and Jack felt like he was inadequate to fill the position. Blaze had grown up with Snow, while Jack only knew of her immortal life. He sighed, then mentally kicked himself as Snow shot him a worried look.

"Are you okay, Jackie?"

"Sure, Snowflake. Just thinking."

"That's dangerous. What are you thinking about?"

"You and your brother. How he's a better brother to you than I am."

"That's not true, and you know it!" Snow protested.

"But it is true! He knows you better than me! He grew up with you, for Manny's sake!"

"Jack!" She began to protest.

"Snow, ju-just give me some time to think. I'm okay, I promise. Go have some fun." With that, he flew off towards Egypt, hoping to cool off and release some pent up magic that always surfaced when he was stressed. Tears froze as they lef the confines of his eyes as he flew. How was he going to fix this. He had just YELLED at Snow! His little Snowflake had just been yelled at. By him. For nothing that was her fault, even. He really was a bad brother.

~~~~~ Snow Angels ~~~~~

Snow watched her brother fly off with sad eyes. He was wrong on so many levels, it was funny. She hadn't even the decency to explain stuff to him, just let him carry on his rant. She deserved to be yelled at. Tears filled her eyes as she began to sob, hovering in midair, clutching her staff like a lifeline.

~~~~~ Snow Angels ~~~~~

Merida hadn't been too far behind, so it was only a few minutes before she found Snow. She gasped when she saw the little girl crying, then enveloped her in a hug, careful to hold in the heat so she didn't burn the little girl. Merida was reminded of her little brothers, who she missed dearly. But now she had some new little siblings to take care of.

"Eets okay, lamb. Jost let et out. Shh. Tha's et."

When Snow was finally calmed down enough to talk, Merida said, "Now why were ye crying, lass."

"Ah-I think Jack is jealous of Blaze. He said that Blaze was a better brother than him because Blaze grew up with me. I just let him rant, and didn't stop him. I should have told him to knock it off, to let me speak, Je suis une terrible sœur. Il mérite un meilleur. Il aurait crié à moi plus!"

"Lass. Ye know that ah can speak French, right? You said, 'I am a terrible sister. He deserves a better one. He should have yelled at me more!' Wait, 'e yelled at ye? How dare 'e! I'm going to- to- to-"

"Not exactly. He just said that he needed some time to think. Then to go have fun. He doesn't seem to realize that it's no fun if he's not there to have fun too."

"Boys. I swear, mim only put them 'ere to annoy us!"

"I'm going to see if I can find Jack. An hour head start should give him plenty of time to think." Snow flew off, a small smile on her face.

Mission accomplished, Merida thought to herself. She turned Angus around to warn the others to leave them alone if they saw them. "Hiyah!"

~~~~~ Snow Angels ~~~~~

"What do you mean, 'Leave them be,'?" They could be in danger and need help, da?" North protested when the seasonal spirits came back to Burgess.

"They're two winter spirits. They'll be fine. They 'appen to be the most powerful spirits around, 'nd tha's when they're alone! Together- well, let's just say that if they weren't on our side, the world would be plunged into 'n eternal ice age, with those two ruling side b' side! They'd be worse than the Ice Queen!"

The Guardians paled, suddenly glad that the 300 years Jack had been alone hadn't corrupted him, and felt a wave of guilt as they remembered what they accused him of joining Pitch when they were grieving over the loss of Easter. (Sandy not included, he was wondering why all the Guardians were looking so guilty. He'd have to ask them about it later.)

"Well, I don't know about you, mates, but now I am definitely not leaving the Frostbites by themselves. Where does Jack normally go when he needs to think. I'll start the search there."

"Don't bother."

Everyone turned at the sound of Blaze's voice. Merida cried out in relief and enveloped him in a worried frenzie. When Blaze finally got away, Bunny asked, "Why?"

"Because they're in Egypt. Twin telepathy and what-not. I always know where Angel is, and for some reason, now I know where Jack is. They just got to Egypt, Snow is a bit behind, though." Bunny nodded, opened a tunnel, then set off to Egypt.

~~~~~ Snow Angels ~~~~~

Jack landed in Egypt gracefully, lowing the temperature as he did. He didn't let it snow, but there might be some ice in the morning, or frost. The people of Egypt would be happy to get a break from the heat. He sighed sadly, only half glad that he could bring at least someone happiness. But not his sister. His own sister.

"I thought I'd find you here!"

Jack turned at the sound of Snow's voice, startled. He felt even more guilty when he saw her eyes were blue, puffy, and blood shot.

"Snowflake, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have yelled at you. That just proves that I am a bad brother!"

"Jack, shut up. Listen very closely, because I will only repeat this once. The only thing I remeber from my past life is a promise that I made with my brother, who my brother is, a fire, a blizzard, and my name. He has the same thing, remembers the same thing. He doesn't know how I grew up. I don't know how I grew up. My life might as well have started the moment I met you, the day after I left my brother. The day I lost one brother to fate, and gained a new one through destiny. He is my brother through blood, but you are my brother through everything else!

"YOU were the one that taught what it meant to be a winter spirit. YOU were the one that taught me how to communicate with the wind. YOU were the one that taught me not to let life get me down, to always stay positive, and to try to have fun, no matter how bleak the outlook was. You were the one that taught me how to be brave.

"You tell me that I am the bravest person you know, but that bravery only shows when I think of what you would do. You are my hero, and have been since the moment I met you. Sure, I love my brother, because he is my only tie to my mortal life, and I didn't really lose everything that night. But you, you took me under your wing without any reason to. You made me family, no questions asked. You are MY brother, whether I have a million others and you will always be my favorite brother, the best big brother, and my hero in my book. Plus, Blaze is really annoying."

"Do you really mean that? Or are you just saying that to make me feel better?" That was the only thing Jack could think of saying. When had she grown so smart?

"Yeah Jack. I mean, do you know how full of himself he is? Or what other people say about him? I have to listen to girls go on about how HOT he is?" Snow joked, lightening the mood.

"Yeah, I noticed that he was a little hot-headed."

"Nothing but hot air in his head." Jack couldn't keep a straight head any longer, and burst out laughing at Blaze's expense. They finally stopped laughing and sat in a comfortable silence.

There was a crumbling underneath them, and they fell on top of Bunny, who had finally found out WHERE in Egypt they were.

A/N: So sorry if you PMed me over the last four days. I was in St. Louis (which is really pretty, by the way) for a marching band competition, and I didn't have my computer with me because my parents didn't want it to get stolen. I have a Favorite Follower to announce! Nora Frost 1 with a pen is AMAZING! She reviewed four times, even on chapters already posted. I dedicate this chapter to her! Thank you, Nora Frost 1 with a pen!
