Ok so I don't have a good excuse updating so late except that I had a bit of a writer's block, I promise I will try work on it. This chapter was inspired by a reviewer called .ivy. Thank you very much.

Chapter 10: ice skating

(Floras POV)

After Pitch scared me the other day I stayed in my room all the time. I was afraid that if I leave that he would show up again and I wouldn't be able to face him in real life like I did in my dream. Sometimes I would walk around the workshop, but I didn't talk to anyone.

But… it's been two days since Pitch was here and I was starting to get back to normal.

(No one's POV)

Jack walked in to the globe room, he was holding his staff in one hand and leaning it against his right shoulder like he always does. Flora was sitting on a chair talking to North, Jack knew this meant that she was getting better, which means… he could get his revenge.

"Hey Flo, would you like to go ice skating with me?" he asked with one of his famous smiles. "Like a date?" asked Flora. She was so happy on the inside but didn't show it so much on the outside. "Sure… why not." He replied. "Ok! But I have to warn you, I don't know how to ice skate." "Don't worry I'll teach you." Said Jack as he held out his hand, she gladly took it and they flew out the window and to a frozen lake not too far from the workshop.

They were flying right towards the lake and Flora was amazed. The lake was pretty big and a beautiful frost designs spread across the ice. On the corners of the lake the frost twirled around and formed a bit of a branch like shape with little flowers on them. It was twinkling like the stars in the night. In the middle there was a big heart, it was formed of more twirls that stretched across the whole lake. But the best part of the whole design was drawn in the center of the heart. The frost spelled two letters with a plus in between.

The frost spelled J+F.

"Jack did you do this?" said Flora. Jack just chuckled and nodded. "It's beautiful."

As soon as they landed Flora ran to the edge of the lake and ran her fingers across the design. "So, you want to ice skate or not?" Jack said. Flora turned around and gave him a weak smile. "I… I… I would love to but… I don't want to ruin all your hard work. Oh well guess we'll have to ice skate some other time, let's go." She said a little fast. And in the process she grabbed Jacks hand and started to pull him away but with no result, he was too strong for her to pull him.

When Flora turned around she saw a confused Jack behind her. But the confusion went away very quickly and turned in to a grin. "You're a terrible liar you know that. I'm the spirit of winter, if we do ruin the design I could make it again in a matter of seconds. So…" he pulled her closer to him and placed his hands on her waist. "What's really going on?" Flora was now resting her hands on his chest and looked in to his ice blue eyes. She sighed and took a step towards the lake.

"Fine, I actually did try to ice skate once and it ended very badly." She sat in the snow. "It was winter and the whole forest was covered in snow, since I had nothing else to do then gather some food for the animals that don't hibernate … I thought I would go have a little fun." Jack sat beside her and looked curious. "I found this little frozen lake and… when I took my first step." She laughed a little. "I instantly slipped, fell, slid across the whole lake and… landed head first in the snow." For a couple of seconds there was silence, but then a soft laughter was heard.

Flora turned to face Jack. He had a hand covering his mouth to keep him from laughing but it clearly wasn't working. "It's not that funny." To this Jack only started laughing harder, he removed his hand and rolled in the snow. Apparently he found this very amusing.

"Fine maybe it is a little funny, but not that funny!" Jack got up, still laughing a little he extended his hand towards Flora. "I promise I won't let you fall. I'll teach you. Come on, it's easy." She hesitated but gave in. "Alright, I trust you. Don't let me down."

Jack guided Flora to the lake and got on the ice, it seemed so easy the way he did it. Flora placed one foot after the other very carefully on the ice. And with every step she took her grip on Jack's hand got tighter. "It's ok, it's ok. Come on, you can do it."

"I don't think I can." Flora got closer to Jack and hung on to him so she wouldn't fall. "Jack… I'm scared." Flora looked deeply in to those icy blue eyes that she loved so much. "I love it when someone says that." Jack said in a whisper. He turned to Flora and smiled. "You don't have to be scared, we're going to have a little fun instead. Just follow me."

He moved back and let go of Flora. "Just slide towards me. You'll be fine trust me, it's easy." Flora moved one foot in front of the other and carefully moved her way towards Jack, but before she could reach him he slid away. "What are you doing?" asked Flora. "I said slide, don't walk, you're only making it harder for yourself."

(Flora's POV)

Ok, now he was mocking me I just knew it. I mean there he is the spirit of winter acting all cool, he knows how to ice skate woo ho. And here I am barely standing on my own two feet.

Oh god I just realized how freezing it was outside. I don't know how Jack stands this cold weather every day, but… then again he is the spirit of winter. I needed to get some warmer clothes. So I spread my arms and closed my eyes.

I felt the leaves on my chest grow and the vines disappear, then I felt a soft fabric cover my body and legs, and finally I felt my feet rise a little and they didn't feel cold any more.

When I opened my eyes I found myself in a long-sleeved, light green, vole turtle neck that reached just a little bellow the bottom of my spine. I also had dark brown jeans that almost looked exactly like Jacks. On my feet there were white plain shoes that had golden strands on the sides. I also had on a light brown leather jacket. But the best part of it all was my hair; it was tied up in a high ponytail like braid that had a vine braided in between. The braid reached to the middle of my spine. To make it short, I looked gorgeous.

And Jack seemed to notice it too because he was staring a t me very strangely. "Jack are you ok?" I asked. He shook his head and made his way towards me. "Yea I'm fine. It's just that, well… you look very, very... What's the word I'm looking for?" he pulled me close to him once again and placed his hand on my waist.

"I think we had enough ice skating for one day." I said as I looked in to his gorgeous eyes. "Fine but I still didn't get my revenge so…" Oh no, I knew that he would get me back some day but not now. I had to stop him I needed to get him before he gets me.

Jack backed away and started to raise his staff but before he could I raised my hand and melted the ice bellow him. He wasn't expecting that so he fell right through. Before I knew it I started laughing so hard that it hurt, I stayed like that for a couple of minutes until I notice that Jack didn't come out. I immediately stopped laughing and ran to the spot were Jack fell through.

"Jack?! Jack?! Jack where are you?! Oh no, no, no!" Now I was scared. What if he drowned? Suddenly a hand reached out of the water and grabbed my jacket and pulled me in to the water. I was so surprised; I instantly popped my head out of the water and started breathing deeply.

Jack appeared behind me and started laughing. I cannot believe he just did that. I almost had a heart attack. "Are you crazy, I thought you drowned!" He was still laughing as we got out of the water. "Ah come on, this is funny. And besides now we're even." "Fine, we're even, happy now?" I said as I myself started laughing a little.

I used my water bending powers and dried both of us off when I heard someone behind us.

"Well, well, well. Look who I found, it's been a while Flo." There was only one person who had that deep and hard but soft voice. I turned around only to find that I was correct and that one of the most annoying and arrogant people in the world.

He had dark brown curly hair that reached his shoulders and black sunglasses that covered his almost orange eyes. Around his neck was a necklace that had an alligator shaped tooth on it. He wasn't warring a shirt so his abs and muscles were shown along with a bronze skin tone. He had orange swimming trunks and orange flip flops.

"That's because I was avoiding you." I crossed my arms and at this point Jack came next to me. "Who's this Flo?" asked Jack. "Jack Frost meet Chris Burn, spirit of summer, fire and also my ex boyfriend." At this Jack flinched. "Ah, so you're the famous Jack Frost." Chris extended a hand and Jack shook it after hesitating a little. I could tell he didn't really like Chris.

"Flo could I talk to you in private?" asked Chris. I knew he was up to something. I broke up with the guy about 70 years ago he couldn't still hold a grudge, could he?

"Sure, why not. Jack, could you wait for me here?" he nodded.

Chris and I walked a couple of minutes in the snow covered forest. "So why are you here?" I finally asked breaking the silence. "What a guy can't just visit his ex girlfriend just because he wants to see her?" "No, so I repeat why are you here?" "Fine you want to know why I'm here?" we stopped walking and he took my hand. What was he doing? "I never stopped thinking about you." He pulled me closer to him and I didn't like that at all. "I've never stopped thinking about you or the way we talked, walked and did everything together." With every word he got even closer and placed his hand on my hips. "The way we kissed, remember that?"

He cupped my chin in his hands and made me look in to his orange eyes. No, nonononononoononononono he couldn't be doing this, he must have known that I didn't feel anything for him. I started to pull away slightly but he didn't let me get away. "Yea I remember, I also remember how you loved to kiss Sara, remember her? Sara Springs, spirit of spring. Or Lucy Fall, spirit of autumn. Ring a bell?"

"Those two meant nothing to me I swear." "Yeah right." I got out of his grip and started to walk away before he pulled me right back. "I swear, let me prove it." "No! Don't you get it? When I say no I mean no, just like I did 70 years ago! Now leave me alone!" I walked away once again only to be pulled back again.

But this time he did kiss me, and I needed to get away. When he finally let go of me I was so angry. "What's wrong with you?! Are you insane?!" I asked. "Ah come on Flo, you know you can't resist me." he then started to lean in again but this time before he could kiss me again I did something that I wanted to do for so long. I slapped him, right across the face, oh man that felt good.

He turned his head back to face me; he had a grin on his face which I did not like at all. "Still as feisty as I remember, that's what I love about you." Oh, for the love of- Ugh, why can't he just leave me alone! "Look, Chris! We went out 70 years ago! You cheated on me with Sara, one of my best friends! But I really liked you and you seemed really honest and sincere when you said that it would never happen again and that you're really sorry, so… what did I do? I gave you another chance. And then what did you do? You cheated on me again with Lucy, also one of my best friends. So when I say that we are never getting back together I mean it. And besides… I have Jack now, and he's ten times the man you will ever be."

I felt really proud of what I just said; I didn't know why, I just did. I mean final after all this time I let out my anger towards him. Sadly almost nothing ever bothers Chris. "So Jack is you're new boyfriend ha?" "Well… not technically, but yea he is."

"No he's not, because you're coming back home with me!" What was he talking about? There was no way I was going with him. "Excuse me?" "You're going home with me." He must have been joking. "No, I'm not. Goodbye Chris." I started to walk away until he grabbed my hand. "Let me go!" "You're coming home with me and that's final!" Okay, now I knew he was crazy. "No! Let me go!"

(Jack's POV)

I was waiting near the lake for Flora. It had been a while and I was starting to get worried. There was something about that guy Chris that I just didn't like. I started to follow the path that they walked on and quickly reached my destination. I hid behind a tree but what I saw when I looked at the two wasn't what I expected to see. I never expected Flora to be the type that cheats on her boyfriend. Well… we weren't technically boyfriend and girlfriend, but still.

When I saw them kissing behind that tree my heart broke in to a million pieces. I couldn't take it. I wanted to march right over to her and demand to know why she was kissing him. But I didn't instead I took of back to the lake. Obviously she liked him more than me and all I want is for her to be happy. So if he makes her happy… who am I to tell her that she should be with me and not him.

When I reached the lake I let out my anger, I shot ice rays all around me and threw as many snowballs as hard as I could at a tree. Why? Why wasn't I good enough for her?

"He-ck-hel." I heard in the distance. I couldn't figure out what it was but it sounded like Flora. "Help. Jack! Help!" now I knew it was Flora. But she didn't need my help; she had her new boyfriend to help her. And as much as my gut was telling me that I should go and help her I turned around and flew to the workshop.

There you go chapter 10. Again I'm sorry it took so long. The next chapter will be up very soon. Also if you would like to see what the frost desing on the lake looked like, insert this link:
