Rush. Excitement. That's what Elizabeth felt swirling inside her. She, along with the others, where in North's sleigh. But they weren't just taking off.

They were flying!

To her it was amazing. She had never flown before, so it was all new to her. Elizabeth glanced over the side of the sleigh and smiled widely. They must have been millions of feet in the air! She felt something plop next to her.

"Havin' fun, 'Beth?" It was Jack. She smiled slightly.

"This is amazing!" He laughed.

"At least your having more fun than Bunny is." The two looked over to the said rabbit, and tried to stifle their laughs. He looked petrified. Bunny, North and her were the only ones who couldn't fly. But North and Elizabeth weren't afraid. North, well, it was his sleigh. No explanation. Elizabeth knew that if she fell, Jack, Tooth or Sandy would catch her. She mainly hoped it would be Jack. Secretly, of course.

"Hey 'Beth. Wanna scare Bunny?"

"How?"

"I need you to jump off the sleigh."

"W-...What?"

"Don't worry. I'll catch you!" Coincidence much?

"Um...I don't know..."

"C'mon. Please?"

"..."

"Don't make me throw you!"

"...Fine."

"Great!"

She looked around for a flat area. There was one in the back. She walked over and climbed it. She noticed everyone but North was looking at her. Tooth was about to say something to her, but Jack stopped her and Sandy, telling them the plan. She knew that North was listening also. Bunny, however, looked up at her like she was a madman.

But, she was wondering if she really was mad on going along with this.

Instead she smirked at Bunny.

"Hey Bunny! Look at this amazing view!" And with that, she slipped and fell off the sleigh. And not on purpose. She felt like she needed to scream, but she couldn't.

Where was Jack?!

Suddenly, she felt a pair of arms holding her up. She looked up. Jack!

"Are you alright? Your really pale..." He looked at her in concern.

"I-...I'm f-fine...I-I though you w-wouldn't catch m-me!" She managed to get out. But that only made Jack smirk.

"I'll always be the one to catch you when you fall!"

And Jack meant it. For a second he thought he lost her, that he wouldn't be quick enough. But he made it just in time. He could feel her shaking. Jack knew he wouldn't let her do that again.

"I'm sorry 'Beth."

"For what?"

"For making you do that! Your shaking!" Elizabeth's frowned.

"I'm fine." She felt a slight breeze. They were heading back to the sleigh.

"Sure. But I'm never making you do that ever again." He cared about her? Oh, of course he did. He would have let her fell to the ground. Or was it because her father is a well know- and feared- spirit? Yep, that must be it. She sighed.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Are you lying?"

"No, I'm not."

"Are you sure?"

"What is this twenty questions?!" She yelled. Jack looked hurt. Now she felt horrible.

"Jack...I'm sorry. I...I'm just fine. Okay? I'm really sorry."

"It's fine."

"No its not. I really mea-"

"We're here."

They both were getting closer to the sleigh, but they weren't going up. They were going under the sleigh. Jack set her down on the long bottom beams that support the sleigh when it wasn't in flight. He sat next to her. But he looked away. She could feel the tension coming from him.

"Jack-"

"Don't. I said it was fine."

"No, I shouldn't have talked to you like that. I'm sorry." Jack scoffed. He still wasn't looking at her. That's what drove her crazy.

"Okay." He said it with sarcasm. Now Elizabeth was getting annoyed.

"What's your problem? I said I was sorry multiple times!"

"Well is it bad to care about you? Apparently you seem to think so."

"You only care about me because of my dad!" Jack turned and gave her a hard stare, making her feel un- comfortable. But she wasn't going to back down.

"Not everything is about Pitch. Maybe, Moon forbid, I care about you by my own free will." And with that, Jack turned away, and said nothing.

They sat like this for most of the ride, with a mad Jack Frost and a guilty Elizabeth Black. But that was until Elizabeth felt her eyes grow heavy. Soon, she was asleep and leaned onto Jack. He whipped his head to her, a frown on his face. But then his face softened, and he smiled and wrapped his arm around her. '

'She looks adorable when she's asleep.' Jack thought, completely forgetting about the fight. Well, more like he just forgave her. Soon he saw North's Workshop, and scooped up Elizabeth bridal style. He did it carefully so she wouldn't wake up. She looked way to peaceful. And beautiful.

'Jack! Stop that!'

Jack shook his head and grabbed his staff, putting it in the hand that supported Elizabeth's back. Her pale blonde head sort of cuddled against his chest. And for the first time, he noticed how light and frail she was. But, he knew better than to call her frail. Elizabeth could hit hard. With his staff. On his head. Man in Moon, Jack could still feel it. North was starting to land the sleigh, so Jack jumped off and flew down to the ground, walking towards the door leading to the workshop.

"Oi! Frostbite! What kind of horrible prank was that?! I swear-" Bunny began.

"Shh!" Jack hissed at Bunny, while turning to them. Bunny's, along with the other guardians faces, soften when they saw a sleeping Elizabeth curled onto Jack.

Wasn't she cold? Apparently not.

"Let's get her inside." North said.

When they walked inside, everything stopped. Even the Elves. The Yeti's were focusing on Jack. And that stranger that was sleeping in his arms.

"Um- I'll just put her in my room, I guess." Jack stated, walking away. Soon, everyone was moving again.

As Jack made it to his room- The one North insisted he should have- and opened the door. The air was a little chilly. For Elizabeth, not him. He set her down on his bed and walked out to get blankets for her. As soon as he did, he walked back and laid them over her.

Jack turned to walk out, and then he stopped.

Jack looked back at Elizabeth, debating he should do this. What if she woke up? Then he'd be embarrassed.

'No,' Jack thought sternly. 'I'll do it.'

He went back to Elizabeth, and hovered over her sleeping form for a few seconds. His feet touched the ground. He leaned down and, before he realized it-

His lips were on her fore-head. He was kissing her fore-head.

Jack backed up, and with a soft smile back at Elizabeth's sleeping form, he walked out of the room and closed the door.

Little did he know that he was on the top on Pitch Black's hit list

Oh. My. God. I got this chapter finished! And it's waayyy better than the last one. Poor Jack, theirs a price on kissing Elizabeth's fore-head, and yours is facing Pitch's wrath. More than likely. Anyways, hope you enjoyed!
