Day one was very overwhelming for Jack. The moment when he arrived at the airport to where he bumped into an old friend. Then before ending his day, he watched episode that unfold at his father's company. Even the sudden encounter of his best friend seemed to be like a blurry dream that was still humming furiously inside his restless mind.
"Just because of a stupid will, they choose me to run a corporation. Why didn't they get Bill Gates to do it?" Jack pondered.
The manor was empty like he last remembered. Even though it was once packed, those times of spending time with his family was nothing, but, a distant memory. Since that tragic accident, through Jack's eyes, his parents slowly distanced themselves from him. He noticed how they made the amount of staffs smaller. But, the most hurtful act they've done was separating him away from his little sister. Neither the couple wanted either of their children getting hurt. But, Jack didn't assumed that was his parents' orders. He believed that he transformed into a monster that needed to be kept under control.
Jack quietly strolled down the second floor, passing by his sister's bedroom. Since yesterday, he hardly saw her at all. Sasha told him that she'll be returning home by this evening from visiting France. The Frost has some relatives who lived down in Provence, mainly in Jack's father's side. At the end of hallway, little Anna was waiting for him, happily twirling around like a ballerina as always.
"Ah, good morning Jack!" She greeted.
"Morning." Jack pleasantly returned a smile.
"Are we going to meet up with Hiccup, today?" Anna asked curiously.
"Around lunch time. I have to meet up with Hawkins this morning," Jack told her while climbing down the stairs.
Anna followed him down to the foyer. "Can I come?"
Jack paused for a moment. Should I let her come along, he thought. "Yeah why not."
Anna jumped up and down with excitement. After putting on his shoes, Jack walked outside to the garage. With the pressed of a button, the manor's large garage doors divided into two, moving to the side, revealing the line of parked cars inside.
"Pick one," Jack smiled at Anna. At first, Anna didn't understand what he was talking about, but, later on, got it. Jack asked Robert last night if he could drive any of his father's collection of cars. Without letting the young man say another word, he handed the key and remote to the garage. He knew his father would one day give Jack and Sophia the right to own his price collections.
"Let's take that one. You love the color blue," Anna rushed over to a royal blue sports car; a Maserati. Jack walked over to the beast, rubbing it's side like a magic lamp. He let out a wolf whistle, "You got some good taste of cars for an eight year old."
Anna didn't understand what Jack meant, but, she laughed it off because she was glad to see Jack lightening up for change.
Jack punched in the codes to open a safe from underneath an old wooden table. He pulled out a metal box that stored the keys to his father's cars. Jack took out a key chain with a small trident attached to it.
With a simple beep, the Maserati's lights lite up. Jack opened the driver seat door. Anna had a hard time opening her's. So, Jack quickly rushed over to her help.
"Okay get in princess. Please put on your seatbelt," Jack informed her. "Will do dad," Anna snickered. Jack simply rolled his eyes and ran inside the driver's side. With the turn of key, the powerful beast roared. Jack smoothly pressed on the gas and they were off.
Arendelle changed over the years. Jack rolled down the windows to let the summer morning breeze tickle his skin. Anna let her small pigtails flutter against the wind. They drove through a busy market street, packed with morning shoppers and sellers. Even though, it was the main street of the town, it's where the sleepy village started its day.
"Let's go park by the pier," Jack told Anna while navigating through the active street. After a couple of turns and exploring narrow streets, they made it to the pier.
The place was packed just as Jack and Anna remembered. Even during the weekends, the parking lot was packed with residents and tourists. The summer was the town's favorite season to boost up their economy.
"Where are we going to meet him?" Anna asked.
"At a nearby park," Jack scanned the place until he received a call from Bunny. He reached into his pocket and answered the call. "Bunny where are you?"
"I'm by the gazebo, across the street," Bunny informed him.
Jack looked around and spotted him. "Are you the one that looks like a glowing glow stick?" He chuckled.
"Tooth made me wear this. She thought I needed to spicy up my wardrobe." Bunny wore a lime green polo shirt with a pair of cream khakis. Jack and Anna walked across the street, strolling down a pathway that led up to the park.
Bunny walked out of the gazebo and met up with Jack. Jack extended a hand for a handshake. Bunny took it, but, pulled him in for a big man hug. Somewhat studded Jack for a moment. The tall Aussi rarely gave hugs when he was young.
"Hope you don't mind talking about law and order here than at my busy messy office," Bunny smiled. "At least you won't be eating cheap week old pastries and drinking tasteless coffee." He handed Jack a bag of fresh baked Norwegian pastries and a cold can of illy cappuccino.
The two found a lonely picnic table underneath a tree that looked over the fjord. Bunny removed his small messenger bag and took out a folder with heavy packets inside. He took out one of them and placed it in front of Jack.
With the look of the amount of papers inside Bunny's bag, how big was Jack's father's will toward the future of his company. How can his death affect significantly to the company? Jack wasn't big on reading, and he hoped he won't spend endless nights reading laws and policies over ownership and what not.
"Don't tell me I gotta read all that? It's like you've copied your friend's law textbook so you won't buy one," Jack took a sip of his ice coffee.
"I used to do that back in college. You're father didn't like it though," Bunny said while putting on his reading glasses.
"Cause it was illegal?" Jack quirked an eyebrow.
"No, because I was wasting trees during those days. Your father told me to go to class and borrow the library copy whenever I needed to. That was when the Internet wasn't around yet." Bunny was enjoying the moment; telling stories about his old best friend. "Yeah, you're old man was something." He chuckled.
Jack nodded his head, showing he was listening while skimming through the packets. But through Bunny's eyes, Jack doesn't seem to be interested about hearing stories about his father.
"Any questions lad?" He asked him.
"So how's this voting and replacement thing works?" Jack looked at a diagram of how a person was chosen to be the successor of a former CEO. The pictures looked simple but difficult to comprehend. Jack was taught to know about the level of succession in a corporate business, but, some nations has their own method.
"The board has to review you first. They'll give you a trial before you take the position. Before that time, Tooth and the team will teach you all they can to prepare you for the job." Bunny explained.
"I sense a "but" is coming on," Jack sip his drink. "Yes, the board decided to give you an exam. You exam might be a meeting with an important trading partner from London. They will help expand the company's borders for selling Frost Enterprise's products and services." Bunny added.
Jack took everything to account. "If you any questions, you should ask my wife. She'll be your mentor anyway," Bunny smiled.
Jack nodded. "Any other questions I can help you with?" Bunny took off his glasses. Jack was quiet for moment. "Any breakthrough about my parents accident?"
Bunny's eyes widen. It's been years since he even looked into his old friend's case. "You know it was marked down as a car accident. It was snowing on that night and it was hard to drive during a blizzard in the mountains..."
"But..." Jack bite his lips.
"Yes, lad?" Bunny looked worriedly at him.
"Nothing never mind," Jack straighten the stack of packets and handed it back to Bunny before getting out of his seat.
Bunny's face looked firm. "Very well then. Time for me to head to the office." He stored the packets back into his bag. "I'll drop by later to give you copies of these. I need you to read them."
"Yippie..." Jack said sarcastically, sounding like he's not impressed.
Before leaving Jack, Bunny had more to say. "Remember Jack, you're never alone. You're welcome to stop by my office whenever you need something. Alright, mate?"
Jack nodded. Bunny returned a smile while ruffling his hair, "Welcome home, son."
After the brief morning talk with Bunny, Jack sat down on a park bench that looked over the water. Anna was busy finishing the pastries that Bunny bought for Jack.
"You want some?" Anna offered a small piece. Jack smiled at her while grabbing a napkin to wipe off the jam on her face.
"Nah I'm good. Finish up soon so we can meet up with Hiccup," Jack stored the napkin into the empty paper bag.
"Do you think he will see me? I know he didn't see me at the airport, but maybe you can get him to believe in me," said Anna.
Jack saw her eyes filled with life but with a touch of sadness. The twinkling light at the corner of her eyes showed her sense of being worried that her friends won't ever believe in her again. The sudden thought caused Jack to felt like a string of heart was pulled for moment.
"Don't worry I'll make sure he'll try to believe in you. We need all the help we can get." Jack reassured her.
"How about your dad's company?"
"You first before me. My father's company can wait." Jack said calmly. "Ready to go see Hiccup?" He asked her.
Anna nodded. She wiped her mouth and stored her garbage into the bag. Her little body jumped off the bench and began skipping away. Jack followed her from behind. Although his head was still buzzing with thoughts, the deal he made came back to mind. Anna first before me, he reflected.
The two walked down a street that was filled with restaurants and boutiques. Jack stopped by the front of the local bar where he was suppose to meet up with Hiccup. While waiting for him, he decided to browse through the magazines that were laid out on a nearby newsstand.
A certain fashion magazine caught his eye. According to Jack's perspective, the woman on the front page looked familiar. He walked over and took the magazine off the shelf. His fingers turned the pages while his eyes browsed through the pictures. The woman was based on an article that took up three pages to explain who she was. Jack studied her appearance from head to toe. She had an angelic structure that was elegant, but, reserved because of her serious crystal blue eyes. Her lips were pressed together, only forming a straight line.
The model had gorgeous platinum blonde hair. In some photographs, it was either a single French braid, a messy bun or let down, showcasing her hair freely flowing down her shoulders and back. There was some images where she wore makeup or without it. Such as, wearing purple eye shadow with dark pink lipstick.
"Is there a photo of her at least smiling?" Jack wondered.
"Jack what are you looking at?" Anna asked curiously.
"Your smokin' hot sister, wait what?" Jack said inside. "Um I think...I found you sister," He held up an image of Anna's older sister for her to see.
Anna's eyes widen, "That's Elsa?"
"Apparently so. Her full name is all over this issue." Jack skim thought the article. "Elsa Andersen."
"But didn't we saw her yesterday?" Anna remembered her sister in business attire. Now in front of her, she saw Elsa in sophisticated clothing that was modern and elegant, but, not too provocative.
"Maybe this is a hobby for her? Or this might be another Elsa Andersen." Jack looked deeply into Elsa's photographed eyes.
But, when he decided to start reading the article, a familiar voice called out his name. Jack looked over his shoulders and saw Hiccup jogging toward him.
"Hey you made it!" Hiccup said while catching his breath. "Well yeah. I needed to do some fun stuff while I'm here, right?" Jack told him.
"Really?" Hiccup looked surprised for a moment.
"Pretty much." Jack grinned. Hiccup return a smile while letting out a sigh of relief. Since he was young, he saw how some people said they'll hang out with him, but they ended up discarding him. That was his story since his old friends parted ways after that tragedy.
"C'mon let's go grab lunch," Hiccup started walking into the bar. "Okay I'll meet ya there," Jack had to return the magazine back onto the newsstand.
Hiccup saw him and asked, "Whatcha been looking at?" He wiggled his eyebrows. Jack blushed. "I'll tell you later."
"Anna you coming?" He called out for her.
"Anna?" Hiccup sounded confused and surprised at the same time.
Anna tugged the end of Jack's shirt. Jack looked down at her. She had a look saying that he needed to tell Hiccup the truth.
"Yeah Anna. I can. It seems like I can see her." Jack picked his words carefully. He took a moment to study Hiccup's bewildered expression. "Hiccup?" Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Whooa! You can see the dead?" Hiccup shouted at the top of his lung. Jack looked over his shoulder, checking if no one is looking at their direction.
"Technically I can only see Anna," Jack corrected him. "Sooo? That's still like whoa! That's awesome," Hiccup sounded breathless because of his uncontrollable excitement.
"You're not that generally freaked out about this?"
"Freaked out? No way dude. Where's little Anna? Yoo hoo Anna. Remember me? You're awesome good looking friend," Hiccup searching any bits of clue that might show Anna's appearance.
"Can you see her?" Jack asked. "Nope. But I'll will eventually. What does it take for me to see her?" Hiccup never stopped looking for her. He even crouched down to the ground, thinking she might be that small.
"She's in front of you," Jack acknowledged him. Anna stood happily in from of Hiccup. She went ahead and gave him a big hug. Hiccup almost fell back, not aware of the unexpected impact.
"Hiccup are you okay?" Jack asked him if he's alright.
"Why do I feel like something heavy is hugging me?"
"That's Anna," Jack grinned.
"Really? Oh man! Hi Anna, how are you?"
"I'm fine. And happy to see you. How about you?" Anna asked him.
"Did she say something?" Hiccup looked up at Jack.
Jack repeated what Anna wanted to say to Hiccup. Jack's friend happily lightened up. "You can hear her to? That's so cool. Hi Anna! I'm happy to see you too!"
"So are we going to eat soon?" Anna asked the boys.
"I think taking you to a bar isn't kid friendly," Jack crossed his arms.
"Oh Anna is hungry?" Hiccup asked both of them.
Jack nodded. "Oh let's go find somewhere else then," Hiccup told them while slowly getting up. He barely remembered that Anna still had her arms locked around his neck.
"Whoa hold on," Jack chuckled. He grabbed hold of Anna as she let go of Hiccup's neck. "She was still hanging onto you." Jack told him as he put down Anna back on the ground. Why did I have to do that, he thought. Anna was a ghost, they had the ability to float and what not, Jack also reflected. Maybe he was somewhat used on believing that Anna was still alive.
"Now I know the difference. Thanks. I'll know when Anna is around." Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck. "So let's go grab something to eat shall we?"
The boys took Anna to a simple family orientated cafe that had a nice view of the pier. They decided to sit outside to appreciate the summer weather. Hiccup began the conversation with endless questions on how Jack was able to see Anna. And why was Anna here back on Earth.
"So she just appeared in front of your hospital bed on that day?" Hiccup asked Jack.
"Apparently."
"Why were you in the hospital in the first place?" Hiccup took a sip of his drink.
Jack bite his lip. "I was there for my last chemo treatment."
Hiccup paused for moment from drinking. He moved to the edge of his chair. "Wait chemo?"
Jack nodded. "I was diagnosis with lung cancer when I was twenty one." Hiccup looked serious which intimidated Jack for a moment. "But it wasn't that serve. The doc said it was smart of me to catch it earlier or else I might not be here today." Sweat started to falling down Jack's back, feeling quite relieved that he survived the illness.
"Do you still smoke?" Hiccup asked him. "I've been cold turkey since the day I got the news. Nowadays, Anna reminds me not to puff another one."
"So Anna is your handler," Hiccup snickered. Even though it was somewhat true, Jack has an eight year old who checked on him. Anna made sure Jack stayed away from cigarettes and control him whenever he's drinking.
The two finished their lunch. Then came along a few jokes and friendly conversations that related from sports to where they are in the life. Hiccup was surprised that Jack was living the lifestyle of an artist than a top billionaire business man. Despite of the wealth he was spoon fed at birth, he always assumed Jack was the business man type. He remembered the days Jack was able to help him out with his math club's candy sales. Jack didn't mind sacrificing his saturday mornings to help Hiccup with his salesperson skills to get the majority of his neighborhood to buy his club's candy.
"So you're father's old business team only called you come here, just to get you to take over the company?" Hiccup quirked an eyebrow, finding out the team's reason a bit over the top.
Jack saw Hiccup had the similar expression he had when he heard the news. "I know right."
Hiccup crossed his arms, began thinking deeply inside for moment. Jack saw him snickered for bit with a charming grin on his face. "What's so funny?" Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing I just remembered something," Hiccup admitted. He went on recalling the day when Jack dragged his butt around town just so he can own his own Pokemon game. Back then, Hiccup was the only one in the gang who was left out without his own copy. He owned a Gameboy Advance, but, he didn't own the games his friends was playing.
So one weekend, Jack called his friends for a meeting. The meeting was mainly about Hiccup, which made him felt a bit embarrassed. Jack decided to get the gang to make a lemonade stand and sell lemonade and cookies to gain money to pay for Hiccup's game. No one protested against the idea. They thought making the stand would be fun. Jack's father even helped pitched in for the cause. He admired his son's sense of business skill and his generosity towards the community.
"Yeah, that was pretty fun, wasn't?" Jack leaned back against his chair, hands behind his head.
"Oh I remember that!" Anna shouted happily. Hiccup saw Jack staring at the empty seat from the side of their square table. "Did Anna say something?" He asked him.
Jack nodded. "Yeah she said she remembered that weekend." Hiccup returned a smile at both of them. Although Hiccup was calm around Anna's present, Jack was still unsure if he was only doing this because he felt bad for him; being so isolated for years from his family and friends, or the friend he knew from the past still believed in him, regardless of what condition he was in.
"I didn't actually came here for my dad's company," Jack confessed, changing the subject. Hiccup focused his attention on him. "After. Well during my surgery I talked to this voice telling me to put someone else's love first before mine. Then I met Anna again, and so I assumed that she needed my help…" Jack explained.
"Help her for what?" Hiccup asked curiously.
"Her dying wish," Jack responded. Hiccup took moment to settle that statement in. He glanced over at the empty chair where Anna sat. Even though, he couldn't see her, he imagined her smiling at him with that smile he used to know. Soft, warm, and full of life.
"Maybe that's why she's still here," Hiccup concluded inside his head.
"Can I help too?" Hiccup sounded a bit determined. Jack blinked twice to rethink what his friend just said. "You sure about that?"
"Yeah I'm sure. Hope that's alright we you Anna?" Hiccup turned to his side and asked Anna for himself. Jack saw Anna nodding her head. "She nodded, yes" Jack translated.
"It's settle then. But, wait. What is it though?"
"That's the thing, she doesn't even know," Jack disclosed the statement Anna told him. The boys crossed their arms, either thinking or showing that their annoyed
"Don't worry, but, I think its somewhere here; in Arendelle," Anna ressaured the boys. Jack recited what she said to Hiccup.
"Sounds like we have an adventure that awaits. Like a treasure hunt." Hiccup got up from his seat and planted one of his foot on top of the table. He looked like George Washington sailing across the Delaware River. "Our destiny awaits!" Someone had too many drinks.
Jack scowled at him. Anna just giggled at Hiccups humor. "Dude get down, or our destiny is to get kicked out of here," Jack implied, looking a bit embarrassed over the strange faces staring at him and his crazy friend.
The two paid their lunches before leaving the cafe. They ended up strolling down the street, chatting about their plan on helping Anna. Hiccup suggested this was a major mission and thought they needed the old gang to help out. Jack hesitated and told him that can be plan B. Anna supported Hiccup's plan, but, Jack still proposed on generating a list of what Anna's wish could be; before acting.
"Whatever you say Captain Frost," Hiccup saluted. Jack scowled at him. "Seriously, Captain Frost?"
"What? That was your old nickname," Hiccup reminded him.
"I thought it was Frosty," Anna giggled. Jack looked annoyed. Hiccup saw him looking down at the ground, assuming Anna said something funny. "What did she say?"
"She thought my nickname was Frosty," Jack didn't sound impressed. Hiccup agreed. "That too. Well we used to call you Captain Frost when we were the Legendary Guardians."
"That name sounds like I'm a walking sugary kid's breakfast cereal," Jack crossed his arms. Hiccup couldn't be serious, he instead let out jolly laugh.
"So speaking of the old gang, did you bumped into anyone of them?"
Jack thought for a moment, and Elsa was the first thing that came to mind. "I accidently bumped into Elsa yesterday."
"Really? At your dad's work?"
"Yeah, apparently she works at the same office where I will be working. Well if I'm approved by the broad first," Jack explained.
"Hmm. I want to see her." Hiccup confessed. "Maybe we should get her gift. Like a teddy bear."
"You know she's around our age now," Jack looked annoyed.
"Sooo. I bet she's still that innocent little girl we used to know." Hiccup declared happily.
Sure a young woman in business attire still appreciated cuddly stuff animals as gifts, Jack thought.
Soon, he ignored his bubbly friend and focused his attention at a young woman strolling toward them. In Jack's perspective, the woman was strunting slowly like a model down a runway, that's how angelic she looked like. Hiccup saw him looking at something else. He fixed his eyes on what Jack was staring at.
It was Elsa. She was in her mid-twenties wearing a pair of white button shorts that hugged her hips tightly. A white tank top with a sky blue plaid shirt underneath. Her gorgeous blue eyes was hidden away with dark aviator sunglasses. A platinum blonde veil was french braid over her shoulder.
Anna gasped, "Elsa!" she clapped her hands together, covering her mouth. "Elsa?" Jack whispered. Hiccup heard him. "Wait that's Elsa?" He pointed at her image slowly coming toward them.
"I think so," Jack remembered the magazine he just saw a few hours ago. His heart suddenly started pounding rapidly. The air inside his lungs was slowly escaping from his body, causing to lose his breath over the sight of Elsa walking. Little trails of sweat raining down his neck and his back. "C'mon chill," He murmured to himself.
"Hey Elsa!" Hiccup shouted excitingly, waving his hand in the air. Jack quickly pulled down Hiccup's hand, causing him not to make a scene. "Dude! Calm down."
"Forget the bear, where's the nearest Victoria Secrets!" Hiccup sounded a bit too happier than Jack's frozen heart jumping around his cold body.
"No we're not getting her a…" Jack paused for moment. He didn't realized that Elsa was less than feet away from them.
"Hey Elsa remember me?" Hiccup wasn't holding back his shyness. As for Jack, he took the role of the shy friend in this awkward old friends reunion which he hardly voted on being invited to. His heart was beating wildly as usual. Thoughts buzzing like wild bees inside his mind. We're going to work together, co-workers, she's model too, wait she's going to work for me," he thought restlessly.
Jack felt like his heart suddenly died for moment, "Where's the nearest hospital?" He wondered. What's going on with me? Jack's knees was starting to feel like jello-o than solid bones. His breathing break shorter.
"Hiccup?" The angel has spoken. Jack's heart was still alive but managed to skip a beat. He felt like melting over how her voice sounded so heavenly. But, jealous that she called out Hiccup's name first.
"Hey hey. You do still remember me. How this guy?" Hiccup went over and grabbed Jack by the arm and dragged him to stand in front of Elsa. Jack's ears were burning red like hot chili peppers. His face was the same. "Act cool Frosty," He whispered with a smile.
How can I…? Jack was about to lose his cool (no pun intended). He soon focused his attention on Elsa. "Hi...Hi. Elsa," Jack was a bit tongue tied.
"Jack?" Elsa was surprised. Her heart also skipped a beat. She started to blushed over the young handsome man that stood tall in front of her. "I see that you grew taller," she observed.
"I know right!" Hiccup agreed. "Well his hair changed. He used to have a lot of hair." He ruffled Jack's hair.
"Yeah, it was spiker too. But, I like it." Elsa commented.
"Well after the...Wait you like it?" Jack looked at her, shockingly. Elsa nodded.
"Well this is a surprised, what are you boys here for?" Elsa asked them. "Are you two on you're honeymoons?" She smirked.
Hiccup raised an eyebrow. Jack somehow let his spit go down the wrong pipe, causing him to cough uncontrollably for a moment. "Just kidding boys," She giggled.
"I'm taken," Hiccup said confidently. "I'm single…" Jack announced it unconfidently.
"Oh?" Elsa quirked an eyebrow. "I see."
"I'm here to just visit my folks and Jack here has some family duties, like taking over his father's business..." Hiccup let out a fake evil laugh over the thought of his friend taking over the world. But, not really.
"I heard," Elsa conceded. "How do you feel about that, Jack?" She locked her eyes on him. Jack met her's.
"Bittersweet I guess," Jack played it cool, controlling his emotions in front of an angel. "But I'll see what I can do. My dad's old team really wants me though."
Elsa nodded her head stating that she understood. "Jack here's to also help Anna out with her wish too," Hiccup insisted on informing her without Jack's permission.
"Anna's ?" Elsa looked a bit confused. Her smile suddenly faded away into a frown, which broken Jack's heart.
"Yeah. Jack can see her," Hiccup swung his arm over Jack's shoulder and pointed his thumb at him like he's the greatest guy ever. "Anna asked him to come back home so he can fulfil her dying wish."
Elsa looked sadly confused. She was begin to feel a bit light-headed. Jack saw her face looked a bit pale. "Hiccup…" Jack called out his name.
"So I decided to join in the cause. We're thinking of getting the old gang back together to help out too…" Hiccup continued.
"Hiccup…" Jack called out his name again.
"Anna…" Elsa whispered ghostly underneath her breath. Jack saw her eyes lost into space. Her arms hugging her shaking body, like she was ready to collapse. The sudden reminder of her sister was like a blow to the stomach and head. Jack couldn't see her like that.
"Hiccup! Shut up!" Jack barked at him. Hiccup paused for moment. "Please. Just stop talking." He changed his booming tone to something soft.
"Sorry about that…" Jack apologized in a hoarse voice.
Elsa suddenly woke up from her trance, "No, it's alright. No need to apologize." She hidden away her melancholy expression.
Suddenly Anna rushed over and hugged her older sister's legs. Elsa felt a sudden cold sensation tickling her bare skin. Something heavy was embracing her legs together. She took a moment to look down, saw nothing, but, her blue flip-flops.
From the look of her eyes, Jack concluded that Elsa doesn't see Anna. His heart ached painfully. He couldn't look at them like this. Suddenly he opened his mouth, "I better get going, Sophia will be home soon and she really wants to see."
Jack bite his lip, thoughts racing inside his mind, "Why did you bring up about your sister. She lost her's." He looked at Elsa for a moment. "Don't you see how much pain she's in?" He told himself inside while trying to avoid Elsa's eyes.
He held out his phone, pretending to check the time. Hiccup and Elsa looked at him. "It was nice seeing you again, Elsa." He said kindly. Elsa didn't felt like talking, she simply nodded. "See ya around dude," Jack patted Hiccup's shoulder before leaving.
At the corner of his eye, he saw Anna letting go of Elsa's legs, running back to him. The sudden light weight feeling brought more chills around Elsa's body. When Jack was out of sight, she slowly projected tough harsh words from her mouth. "Is he mad?"
"What do you mean?" Hiccup quirked an eyebrow.
"Coming home with crazy thoughts that should had be put away a long time ago. He still hasn't moved on?" Elsa hissed.
"Elsa…" Hiccup walked over, trying to offer a hug at least to his frighten friend. It's like she'd seen a ghost from her past and felt another one too.
"No Hiccup please. I better go," Elsa walked passed Hiccup without saying goodbye.
"But, Elsa…" Hiccup sounded like a helpless little boy, confused over Elsa's attitude. "Maybe Jack came back home for a good reason. I know we've never seen each other for years, but, that doesn't mean we should ignore each other. I think the gang should get back together so we can help out an old friend. Not only Jack, but, maybe Anna." He explained.
Elsa's eyes widen when she heard her sister's name. "Hiccup! That's enough," She shouted at him. Hiccup bite his lip. Elsa saw the sudden little droplets forming at the corner of his eyes. "I'm sorry Hiccup, but, it's best we all just…" She couldn't say another word. Without looking at him for another second, she dashed away, running alone down the street, leaving poor Hiccup looking so lost, and alone.
Short Commentary: So we now know Jack's parents died from a car accident. Jack will be put under a test whether he can handle the duty of taking over his father's business. As for his side mission, Hiccup, his best wing man is willing to help him find Anna's wish. Unfortunately, Elsa has this bittersweet attitude towards her friends, especially to Jack.
