AN: Finally got around to writing this. Here you get to see indirectly what Sandy was up to as well as North getting in on it. I hope you like feels, cause this chapter has got its feelers everywhere. I was almost crying tears of laughter as I wrote this with romantic music playing in the background. (I'm not joking about that) By the way, Disclaimer: I do not own either Rise of the Guardians or Frozen.

Waking up refreshed was a nice feeling. Jack stretched catlike, sun dancing on his eyelids and a smile stretched across his face. Yawning widely, he jumped out of bed, going off in search of some breakfast.

"Jack, how you feeling?" North called, seeing the boy walk in.

"Never better," Jack replied, ridiculous grin still glowing lopsidedly on his face. North shot him a look that the winter spirit couldn't quite interpret. It didn't matter, there was nothing that could ruin his mood this morning.

"Have some good dreams," North asked, curious voice tinged with a touch of laughter. Jack glanced over, confused, but attributed the mocking tone to his goofy smile.

"Ya, definitely, remind me to thank Sandy."

North nodded thoughtfully, a grin threatening to pull his lips into a smile. "So … vhat do you have planned for today?"

"Oh, I don't know," the spirit returned, "Snow storms, frost, playing with kids."

"Not visiting Elsa?" North asked, a little too innocently. What was the older Guardian playing at here? Jack shook his head, not being able to figure it out.

"I just saw her yesterday," the teen said hesitantly.

"So?"

"Well, I don't want to be pushy. She is a queen after all, and has responsibilities."

The Guardian of Wonder's face fell, but he quickly recovered, blue eyes sparkling with mischief. "I was just hoping you may be seeing her today because we have decided that the Guardians are having a Valentine's Day party next week and we hoped we would be able to meet your new believer."

Jack's face played through a few emotions including surprise, embarrassment, joy and finally settled on neutral. He couldn't go giving North the wrong impression could he? "I guess I could go extend an invitation. It will only be a brief visit." North nodded solemnly, expression guarded.

"I guess I should be off then," the winter spirit called, grabbing a muffin from the table and bolting out the window.

When the boy was gone, North couldn't hold it back any more. His slight grin turned into an all out laugh. "Oh to be young and in love again," he muttered, eyes fogging over as if in memory. "I must tell the others that Sandy's idea worked."


Elsa woke to sunlight streaming in through her partially opened curtains. She sat bolt upright in bed. She had actually had a good night sleep. No nightmares, no waking up in terror with ice all over the room. A grin split her lips, being rested felt nice. Dressing quickly, the queen made her way to the dining room where Ana was unsurprisingly absent. Elsa shook her head with a slight laugh, that girl always needed her sleep.

In the quiet, Elsa's mind wandered, thinking over the events of last night. Jack had been in her room! Just the thought of someone in there, especially a boy was enough to make her blush profusely. He had fought for her. As her mind followed the events of last night, she couldn't stop herself from remembering the way that Jack's face looked handsome, even while threatening and hostile. His sarcastic grin tugged at her heart just as it tugged at his lips.

She shook herself from these thoughts, heading back to her bedroom. Distracted, she barely noticed the knock that was coming from her window. As if summoned by her thoughts, the white-haired spirit was floating there, waving at her. "Jack?" she cried, surprise taking over her as she went to open the window.

"Hey Elsa," he responded, cold lips quirking up into a smile that made her heart leap.

Scolding her betraying heart, she forced herself to remain calm. "Hey Jack, what is it?"

He tried to look serious, but the smile kept coming back, so he continued anyways. "The Guardians decided to throw a Valentine's day party and they wanted to know if you would like to come." He looked up at her through his white bangs, eyes pleading.

Her mind blanked. Jack was inviting her to a party celebrating a day of love. Even though he had phrased the question as if the Guardians were the ones who wanted her to come, it made her feel pleasantly warm. "Um …"

"You can bring Ana and Kristoff if it will make you feel better," the spirit suggested.

Elsa nervously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and bit her lip. Thinking of no way she could decline, the queen nodded affirmatively. "Sure, we will come, but how are we to get there."

Blue eyes sparkling with excitement and an impish smile gracing his face, Jack state mysteriously, "I will send a chariot to pick you up at 7pm on February 14th."

With that, he leapt out the window, wind rustling Elsa's hair before it settled down again. However, she couldn't say the same for her heart. It was fluttering in her chest. Now, what was wrong with her?


Although Jack visited a few times between his invitation and the day of the party, he would reveal nothing about his ride despite persistent questioning from Elsa and pleading on Ana's part.

That evening, Jack glanced quickly in the mirror of his bedroom, flattening his unruly crop of white hair against his head before nodding satisfactorily. He cast a quick glance over his clothes, tugging uncomfortably at the formal, button up shirt he was wearing. It was a deep blue and the white tie with snowflake patterns stood in contrast, forming a line down his chest. He knew that North was laughing about it, having given him the tie. His black pants felt strange but his feet were still bare, giving him a modicum of comfort. Bouncing on his toes, the winter spirit made his way down to the ramp where he knew the sled would be waiting. If you sort of tilted your head and squinted a little, it could pass as a chariot.

A grinning North was already sitting up in the driver's seat, reigns ready in his firm grasp. "You ready?" he asked as Jack hopped up beside him.

"Absolutely," the winter spirit affirmed. However, as they started to drive, Jack found himself suddenly nervous. What if the Guardians didn't like Elsa? What if he acted like an idiot in front of her?

He found his mind wandering to the times he had spent with her. Just the way she brushed her hair back from her face made his chest feel funny. This zing of power when they touched, her face glowing in the sunset, the sparkle of her eyes as they laughed together. He liked it when he could make her smile, she glowed whenever she revealed those dazzling teeth. Jack felt himself grinning at the memories, eager to see her warm smile again.


North sat quietly beside the winter spirit, noticing Jack's eyes gazing off into the distance. The small, goofy smile that graced his lips from time to time almost made North laugh out loud. These two really needed to get together.


AN: Oh, Guardians, you little trouble makers. More tomorrow, or the next day for sure.
