Chapter 10: Surprises

Jack's POV

I woke up to the feeling of hot water poured on me. "Hey!" I looked up and saw Merida looking down at me. "Get up, you lazy bum!"

"Alright, I'm up," I grumbled. I followed Merida out of the door, and bumped into the one and only Elsa. I was stronger than her, she stumbled and lost her balance. I caught her by the waist before she hit the floor.

"Thanks," she said as I set her back on her feet. "How many times am I going to thank you?"

"Depends," I said, smirking.

"Why are you wet?" she asked.

"Red head there," I answered, nodding my head toward Merida. She giggled.

"That's what Snow called her," Elsa said. She waved her hand and the water on me rose up into the air. The water joined together forming a big drop of water. I was dry.

"Thanks," I said. Then an idea popped up in my mind. "Are you up for a little prank?"

"Who?"

"Snow and Kangaroo," I said. Payback time! She looked at me and grinned.

"How do you want to do it?" she asked.

I whispered my plan into her ear. She listened and nodded. We plan to do it later after training. It is going to be epic!

"Alright, let's go to training," I said and I grabbed her hand, causing the big drop of water drop onto the floor. "Never mind that, let the yetis clean it, we're already late." We ran to the training room and I realised her hand didn't feel boiling hot to me, they felt kind of warm.

We entered the training room and saw all the Guardians there. Elsa looked at the training room in awe. North saw us and immediately waved Elsa over, "Elsa! Come here."

Elsa let go of my hand and immediately, I missed her touch. I saw the gang and walked over. They were grinning for some reason.

"So what's with the holding of hands?" Hiccup asked me. Oh no, not this again.

"There's nothing between us," I said.

"Sure…" Merida, Hiccup and Punzie said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and walked over to North and Elsa.

"North, when did you upgrade your training ground?" Elsa asked.

"Do you like it?" I asked.

"It's awesome!" she said. North beamed. Bunny was smirking, he must have seen us holding hands too. This is going to be annoying. At least we'll have payback later.

"Good, time to test your strength. Yetis!" North called out. Three yetis walked in. I recognised one as Phil. Phil's one of the best fighters, Elsa's screwed. I looked at Elsa, but she just sighed. Snow was yawning. Aren't they worried?

I walked to the side lines, where the others were. Bunny looked at me and asked, "So why were you holding hands with Elsa?"

"I bumped into her on the way here, and I dragged her here. There's nothing between us," I said, getting frustrated.

"Yet," Punzie said. I groaned and turned my attention to Elsa. She was standing in the middle of the room. The three yetis, Phil, Will, and Zell, took their positions. Wait!

"Three at a time?" I asked Bunny.

"Why, worried?" he asked me, smirking his tail off. I wish I could freeze it.

"I'm with Jack on this one," Punzie said.

"Don't worry," Bunny assured us. I looked at Elsa. She was protesting.

"Do we really have to do this? I mean it's been years since I last fought a yeti," Elsa started. Just then, Phil charged. Elsa dodged just at the last minute and gave Phil a kick, causing him to stumble. Will and Zell charged at the same time. Elsa jumped and did a split in mid-air, hitting both yetis in the head. Phil charged again, Elsa spun and swerved his attack, sending another kick at the same time. She did a flip and hit all three yetis. They fainted after the last move.

Our jaws dropped. What. Just. Happened? She just defeated three yetis in less than 15 seconds, that's what happened.

"What just- Did she- How did- What?!" Hiccup stuttered.

"Whoa…" Punzie said.

"How did she do that?" Merida asked.

"She's awesome," I simply said.

North was clapping and laughing. Bunny was smirking. Tooth, Sandy and Snow were cheering. "And yet you still got the moves," North said.

"Told you not to worry," Bunny said.

Elsa walked up to us and laughed. "You know, should really close your mouth," she said. Then I realised that my mouth was still opened.

"Wow, you're good," I said. "But I'm better."

"Alright then Frost, show me what you got," she said. She snapped her fingers and red sand appeared. Slowly, they took the form of yetis. There were about 10 yetis in total. I smirked and went to the centre of the room. The yetis surrounded me.

"Ready?" she asked.

"Ready!" the word wasn't even out of my mouth when the yetis charged. I started shooting ice all around, freezing the sand-yetis in place. Once a yeti caught hold of me, I twist around and threw a sharp icicle at it and it crumbled to the floor. Somehow, this sand reminds me Pitch's black sand.

In less than a minute, all the sand-yetis were destroyed. I heard someone clapping, I turned around and saw Elsa. The gang were staring at me wide eyed. "Gee, Frost, I didn't know you had that in you," Elsa said.

"You underestimated me Miss Winters," I said, bowing. She laughed, I love it when I make her laugh. "That was only 10 yetis, anyway."

She stopped. She looked at me and said, "Jack that was more than 10, that was at least 30 yetis."

"30?" I asked, astonished.

"Yeah, didn't you see me make more when you were fighting?"

"Nope, I was trying to prove to you that I'm better than you," I said, smirking. She looked at me with a twinkle of excitement in her eye.

"Is that a challenge, Mr Frost?" she asked.

"Maybe it is."

"Challenge accepted," she smiled.

"Alright lovebirds, I want to go next!" Merida shouted.

"We are not lovebirds!" Elsa and I shouted back. We looked at each other and said, "Stop saying whatever I'm saying."

"No you stop it!" we said again.

"Ugh…" we gave up at the same time. Seriously, why do we keep doing that? We blushed and looked away. The others were laughing at us. Snow and Punzie were fan-girling.

Just then, Toothless came flying in. We looked at Elsa, expecting her to look scared, but instead, she was squealing when she saw Toothless. "He's so adorable! Can I?" she asked Hiccup. Hiccup nodded and Elsa rushed over to Toothless' side. Toothless immediately liked her and was cuddling against her. Elsa saw me looking at her and turned away. I swear I saw a tint of pink on her cheeks.

The others were looking at her, amazed. "That's Toothless. He's a night fury," Hiccup said. When he said 'night fury', Elsa and Snow looked at each other with a weird look. Strange. Hiccup then launched into the story of how he found Toothless. Elsa listened intently and when Hiccup finished, she looked amazed and all she said was, "Wow."

"Alright, now it's time to train with you powers," North said, after Elsa has finished cooing over Toothless.

"Okay, so let me get this straight. Hiccup can talk to animals and control them. Punzie could control plants and has magic hair, her favourite weapon is a frying pan. Merida could change anything into a weapon and can control wind like Jack and Snow. Jack has powers over ice, snow and frost. Am I right or did I miss something?" Elsa said.

We looked at her shocked. "How did you know?" Merida asked suspiciously.

"I have my sources," Elsa said, shrugging her shoulders. Snow snickered behind her.

"Okay, we'll leave you to use you powers and practice. Elsa, show them what you can do," Bunny said and the Guardians left to their work.

"Okay, so who wants to go next?" Elsa asked as she started forming sand-yetis again. Merida raised her hand immediately. Merida did okay, although she couldn't handle more than 25 yetis. She had used her wind to help shoot her arrows, but they weren't strong enough to cause serious damage.

Hiccup went next. Toothless couldn't do much as we were inside and we didn't want the whole building to be destroyed. But with his flaming sword, Inferno, Hiccup took out about 15 yetis.

Punzie was last. She could use her hair like a whip and make the yetis vanish into thin air. She took out about 20 yetis before she was out numbered.

Each time Elsa made 30 yetis and I was the only one who could defeat all of them, along with Elsa that is. Soon, Elsa made everyone take a break except for me.

"So, Frost, how are you going to prove that you are better than I am?" Elsa asked me as she took a knife from the weaponry. She suddenly threw the knife at a target nearby and it hit the bulls-eye. I smirked and made an icicle and threw it too, hitting the bulls-eye on a target farther away.

"Impressive," she said. She drew an arrow that appeared out of nowhere and shot it in my direction. She acted so fast that, I didn't realise what she was doing until I felt the arrow zip past my ear. I turned around and saw it hit the bulls-eye on the farthest target.

"Whoa," I said. "You may be even better than Merida."

"No, I'm not," she said humbly.

"So, I don't mean to intrude but I heard Bunny say that you have more experience in fighting Pitch than any of us. Mind explaining why?" I asked.

"He said that?" she asked and I nodded.

"Well Pitch and I fight every year, most of the times I win, but sometimes I lose," she said sadly. She mumbled something else. It sounded like, "I'm so going to kill that fur-ball."

"Hey, it's okay, if you don't want to tell me, its fine. And I won't tell the others," I said and she flashed me a grateful smile.

After a few hours, training ended. Elsa proved to be a great fighter and she taught us different techniques in fighting. As we were walking out of the training room, I slipped behind and walked next to Elsa.

"Remember the plan?" I whispered to her. She smirked and nodded. As we walked to the globe room where the older Guardians were, Elsa said, "Guys, I need to go get something in my room. Snow, you go ahead first, I'll catch up." With that she walked off.

As predicted, the others looked at me and Punzie said, "Jack, go follow her."

Playing along, I asked, "What?"

"Go follow her, we won't interrupt you," Hiccup said and they rushed off. I stood there, pretending to be stunned. When they were all gone, I flew off to find Elsa outside her room.

"Got the things?" I asked. She nodded and held up a bucket of water and a box that is labelled 'Itching powder'. "So that's how you did it, itching powder?" I asked her.

She giggled and said, "Hey, it works. Plus it has a very funny effect. How are we gonna pour these on Snow and Bunny?"

"I was thinking maybe we could prank on the gang, Snow and Kangaroo," I said evilly.

"Why not? The more the merrier, now go get your paint and feathers," she said. I nodded and rushed into my room. I went to a corner of the room and took a bucket of paint and bag of feathers. I chuckled to myself, this is going to provoke a mob.

"We have to record this down," I told Elsa as I exit my room.

"Already got that covered, I placed a crystal ball in the globe room this afternoon when we were having a break," she said.

"You are always one step ahead, you know?"

"Yeah, I know. This is going to be epic!" she said.

Quietly, we walked to the globe room. The problem is, we need to enter it without anyone noticing us. "Jack! This way," Elsa said and gestured for me to follow.

"Where are we going?" I asked. We were going in the opposite direction of the globe room.

"Secret passage," she said. We stopped in front of a wall. Elsa pressed her hand against it and pushed. A square appeared under her palm and was pushed into the wall. The whole wall then slid to the side, revealing a small space enough for two people to walk through.

"Whoa, how did you know about this?" I asked, amazed, as we walked down the passage way.

"I like to explore the place and I found this quite by accident. Turns out, there's a whole lot of passages in this place."

"Wow, I need to stick with you in the future, so I can know all your secrets, huh?" I asked. She laughed, sending shivers down my spine again.

"Yeah, maybe you're right," she said. Then she gravely added, "But there are just some secrets that you wouldn't understand."

"So are there anymore secrets you're hiding from us?" I asked, curious.

"You'll find out about all my secrets in time to come."

"Good, then I'm looking forward to it," I said jokingly. She laughed, yes, the serious moment it gone.

Suddenly, she turned and there was a hole in the wall beside her. I looked into it and saw the others in the globe room. A spy-hole. Awesome. Elsa put a finger to her lips, indicating to be quiet. I nodded and we continue walking.

Soon we reached a dead end. I looked up and saw the passage continues going up. There were metal rungs drove into the wall, they were like foot holds.

"This shaft goes up to the landing above the globe room. From there we can put our plan into action. You fly up there with the things first. Be careful not to make any noise," Elsa whispered to me. I nodded and took the bucket of water and paint and flew up. At the top of the shaft, I saw a wooden landing. I looked down and saw the others sitting there, talking.

I quietly placed the buckets on the landing and flew down again. I took the itching powder and the bag of feathers from Elsa and flew up again. When all the things were safely on the landing, I turned to the shaft to see Elsa at the top. I lifted Elsa out of the shaft and onto the landing.

"Thanks, now time for payback," she said, grinning. I smirked. We looked over the edge of the landing and saw the gang, Snow and Kangaroo right underneath us. Perfect. I thought of how we're going to evade the mob later.

"Elsa, who else knows about this landing?" I asked.

"Snow, why?"

"Okay, later we just need to jump down from this landing when we drop the water, and make a run for my room. We have to evade from the mob we're going to provoke later," I said. She giggled and nodded. Just then we heard Punzie said our names.

"Hey, what do you think Elsa and Jack are doing now?" she asked.

"Planning to prank on you," I whispered an answer back. Elsa giggled beside me.

"The unknown…" Hiccup said mysteriously. What? Elsa and I looked at each other confused.

"I think they are perfect for each other," Snow said.

"I'm so going to kill Snow!" Elsa muttered under her breath.

"Yeah, my best friend and my rival, so going to work out," Bunny said.

"Let's just shut their mouths now, huh?" Elsa asked me.

"Agreed," I said and I poured the paint on each one of our victims. They were stunned, then Elsa poured the feathers. There were cries of surprise and a few angry ones from Bunny and Merida. I took out the itching powder and gave it to Elsa. She blew down the itching powder and in less than 10 seconds, they were all doing a crazy dance. The feathers made them look like chickens dancing.

By now, I was laughing out loud and Elsa was trying very hard to hold back her laughter. Below us, our victims and soon-to-be-mob is crying out, "It itches! It itches!" North, Tooth and Sandy were laughing and I saw Sandy holding a camera.

"Should we put them out of their misery?" Elsa asked between laughter that cannot be contained anymore.

"Nah… let's watch them a bit longer," I said.

"Jack!" she cried.

"Oh, alright, but you did put a crystal ball there, right?" I asked. She nodded and waved her hand. The water from the bucket of water floated up. She divided the water in to 5 drops, each above a victim. Just before she dropped it, I said, "Wait!"

I made the temperature of the water colder and I nodded for Elsa to drop it. When she dropped them, there were shouts of surprise and anger.

"Time to jump," I said and I grabbed Elsa's hand and jumped. We landed on the floor and Elsa snatched up something from the side of the wall. Must be the crystal ball. Our victims saw us and started chasing us. They looked hilarious, paint covered their faces and dripped down on the floor. Feathers were stuck against the paint.

"You two better hide somewhere, where I can never find you!" Merida shouted.

"Time to go," I told Elsa and I grabbed her hand. We ran towards my room and rushed in. We locked the door and slumped to the floor. I chuckled softly at first, then Elsa joined in and soon we were laughing so hard that our stomachs hurt.

"Revenge is sweet," I said.

"Yeah, and we got it all recorded down," she said and she held up the crystal ball.

"That was awesome! Now, we are going to be stuck in this room for hours."

Just then we heard the others outside. "Hiccup, you and I will fly Toothless to their window and ambush them from there. Punzie, you, Snow and Bunny will stay here and make a ruckus. They'll never see it coming." Merida said. It was a good thing I have great hearing

"Elsa, lock the window, their coming that way," I told her. She started at me wide eyed and went to lock the window. She drew the curtains across and pulled me to another wall. There was a giant painting of snowy mountains hanging from this one.

"Another passage?" I asked. She nodded.

"They'll break down the window. And the good thing is, Snow doesn't know about this passage," she said. I nodded. She slowly pressed her finger against the side of frame. She was pressing a button. The painting swung out, revealing a hole behind it. So that's why I can never remove the painting.

Just then, the ruckus started, Merida's coming. Quickly, we walked into the passage and the painting swung shut. Great, now we'll never get back.

"So where are we going?" I asked Elsa.

"Follow me, and don't worry, I'll show you how to reopen the painting."

We walked through all the passages. This place is huge. I so need to get a map. We reached another shaft. At the top of this shaft, was light. Where are we going? Elsa started to climb up, I thought it would take too much time. I grabbed her by the waist and flew up. We reached the top in no time.

"Please give more warning the next time you want to do that," Elsa said, laughing.

"I will," I chuckled. Then I looked behind her and gasped. We were in a pavilion built on the very top of the workshop. The view from there was breath taking. The sun was setting, colouring the mountains in the North-pole pinkish orange. The cool wind of the North-pole blew into our faces.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Elsa asked me.

"It's amazing," I said in awe.

"I like coming up here a lot when I get a chance to be alone. It clears my head," she said as she spread her arms wide open and spun around. She looks much more beautiful in the sunset. She looks happy and relaxed. I never saw her looking so relaxed before.

Suddenly, she pointed at something. I looked, and saw Merida and Hiccup on Toothless. Poor Toothless, he has paint all over his back. They were flying around searching for something, which are us.

"Can they see us?" I asked. Elsa shook her head.

"This pavilion cannot be seen from a far and is very well camouflaged, that's why you never see it when you are flying around the workshop," she said. I thought about it, she was right. I never did see a pavilion on the top of the workshop before.

Elsa walked to the edge of the pavilion and sat down. She gestured for me to sit next her. As I sat down, I let my legs dangle from the edge, like Elsa. I look down and saw that if you slip of this edge, you will be falling from a great height.

"So you're not afraid of heights?" I asked Elsa. She shook her head. "Then what are you afraid?"

She was silent for a moment, then she said quietly, "I'm afraid that I'll hurt others."

"Hey, you can't hurt others," I assured her.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that people would get hurt because of me," she said. "I afraid people wouldn't accept me."

"Why wouldn't they accept you?"

"Try, Merida," she simply said. Even though it sounds casual, I know she's trying to evade the question.

"Hey, don't let her get to you. You are an awesome person, okay?" I said. She looked at me and nodded.

"What's your fear?" she asked me.

"I'm afraid that people wouldn't see me again, they wouldn't believe in me," I said. "I'm afraid that the Guardians wouldn't trust me anymore."

"Even though, most of the times you're joking, I'll trust you. You seem like a trustworthy person," she said. My heart warmed when she said that.

"And I'll always accept you, I promise," I said, she smiled and we spent the next few hours talking, watching the others try to find us desperately.

Soon, it was night time. Elsa brought me back to my room. She pressed another button by the side of the wall and the painting swung open. The others have gone to bed, so Elsa can go to her room safely. Before she left, I grabbed her hand.

"How about we explore these passage ways tomorrow?" I asked her. She smiled at nodded eagerly. "Alright, be here at 11 in the morning, after I finished my chores, okay?"

"Okay, you keep this," she said and placed the crystal ball in my hand. With that, she left. That night, I kept replaying the day's events in my head and must have watched the video at least a hundred times. I smiled at the thought of spending the day tomorrow with Elsa exploring the passage ways.

A/N: Hey guys! So how is the new chapter? Was the Jelsa moment great? I hope it was! Well, I'll update next week since I have so much school work!

Anyway, please review and tell me your opinions. Keep on reading and ship Jelsa!
