A/N: Hey guys! I know, MIA. I've been on a long vacation, and am finally back. So, until I get home, have this filler chapter. Also, I've been cast in my High School Musical, so I might not be able to post everyday, but I will update as much as possible. So, if I don't post everyday anymore, I am sorry. I just have a busy day now.

So, on to the chapter. Keep in mind, it's a little short, but I'll do longer ones soon.


"Where are we going?" Claudia asked as Jack flew higher up in to the air, while holding on to her. He glanced over,

"Oh, no where. I thought about the North Pole."

"Jack!" Claudia knocked his arm, making it falter. She nearly fell, but Jack held his grip. "I can't go to the North Pole."

"Why not?" He whined.

"Because, I need to be back by morning!" She replied with a smile. She loved Jack, she really did, but sometimes his ideas were just a bit too big.

"Claudia, I think you'll be fine. They'll just think you've taken a walk, or went over to a friends house."

"You don't have a house." Claudia retorted. Jack met her eyes,

"Right."

He flew down, looking through the clouds. He tried to find a way out of Burgress, and up to the North Pole. Claudia clutched on to Jack's jacket, keeping her eyes on him. "So, why exactly are we going to the North Pole? Is Santa there?" She asked, laughing. Jack looked back over.

"Actually, yeah." Claudia stopped, amazed. Jack continued, "But I'm taking you up there for the sledding. The slopes there are perfect if we find the right spot."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah! I'll find you the perfect slope." He started imagining everything they would do- he had a tendency for that- and telling them to Claudia. For the most part, she listened contently. But soon they seemed a little too extreme for her recovering body to allow.

"Jack." Claudia stopped him. "You know I'm still sick. I might look and feel fine, but after being in the hospital for so long, I know I'm not safe enough to to all of this."

"Okay, so should we just stick to the first part?" He asked. She nodded with a smile, and he flew down more to get a better view. Claudia kept a death grip on Jack, making sure she felt safe. It made him smile, how much she trusted him.

After some time of silence, Claudia piped up. "Jack?"

He turned his head back to look at her, which signaled her to go on. "You've never told me where you're from... After all these years... So, while we have time, where are you from?"

Jack didn't reply, because they had finally made it. He laughed, "Maybe another time?"

Claudia nodded slowly, and stood up in the snow. She walked over to Jack. "So, sledding?"
