Finne Min Senter

Chapter Ten
Disillusioned

-',-

Jamie listened and watched the news as best as he could without slipping to boredom. It was tough to try and catch anything that involved the Guardians. What was he supposed to get anyway? Back then, times were simple, easy. He was just a regular kid who was blissfully oblivious to the battle that raged between the Guardians and Pitch Black. Now that he was an ally; he felt like he has a responsibility as their unofficial brother-in-arms. But it didn't mean that it wasn't exciting! Imagine, working side by side with Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and Sandman was ultra cool! Not to mention meeting Jack Frost was really a kid's dream coming true.

Nothing interesting in the news though, he can't really understand them anyways so why bother? He chewed on the cap of his pen and leaned on his bed. On his lap was a notepad that was scribbled with disjointed sentences and words. It must be super important for Jack not to say anything and he was itching to know. He was part of the team right? He drummed the pen on the headboard and stared up at the bars that held the bed cushion of Sophie's bunk.

There was a tapping sound on the glass and a grin was on his face before he could even notice it. Jack opened the windows and jumped in with his beaming face. Jamie climbed out of bed and held up a fist To which the winter spirit bumped with his own.

"How's it going bud?" he asked as he settled on the foot of Sophie's bunk.

Jamie flopped to the nearest chair and leaned his body against the spine, "Not much. Just the same old boring stuff. How about you? You've been gone for days Jack, you said we're gonna have fun" There was a guilty look on his friend's face that he counted on. Just a bit more push and Jack will crack; he was never the one to keep a secret for too long and a guilt-trip was all that he needed. But the spirit just quirked a crooked smile and balanced his staff on his palm,

"I was just a bit occupied with my job" he answered.

His response didn't convince the boy, not one bit. If he does things seriously, there was something wrong; he was lying. Jamie frowned and stared at Jack but the Guardian wasn't even fazed. So he huffed and kicked on the carpeted floor which caused Jack to, finally, jump down from the bed and kneeled on the floor to level with Jamie's brown eyes.

"Why don't you trust me?" he muttered.

Jack looked conflicted; his eyebrows were furrowed and his lips were curled down like he was debating in his head. Jamie didn't particularly enjoy what he was doing but he want some answers and she needed to pressure his friend to give in. But he forgot about how stubborn Jack was. All he got was a hand on his head and asked if he wanted to play outside.

Jamie wanted to yell "No!" and throw a tantrum like a normal kid but he didn't, instead, he let Jack herd him to the porch and sat on the steps.

Jamie leaned against a pillar and fiddled with his thumbs, "Are you doing some dangerous stuff?" He waited for Jack to answer but he didn't expect him to respond. His best friend can dodge everything even questions that were sensitive like his sister so he almost jumped when Jack answered with a solemn,

"Yeah"

All the playfulness and teasing was gone. Jamie had never seen Jack so serious and he didn't like it. Where was the optimistic, 'can-do-everything' Jack who always reassured him that everything will turn out fine? His friend must've sensed his distress because when he looked up, a small pile of snowballs were laid in front of him, waiting ti be thrown.

He shifted his gaze from the pile to his companion who gave a faint smile and bounced a snowball in his hand, "Care for a round?"

Jamie returned the grin and nodded before he ran inside to fetch his gloves and bonnet. His notebook and pen were forgotten on top of the desk and a shadow flitted between the floorboards, unnoticed by everyone else.

Sophie, who was watching a Swedish kid show in the living room, saw him running and decided to follow him. His mom and Cassidy were busy baking cookies and Aron was out with Erik. He tucked his fingers snugly in each respective place and tugged his bonnet down to his ears as he ran out of the house.

"Hop hop hop!" Sophie giggled as she jumped down from the steps. Jack laughed as a throaty woof joined in Sophie's cheer. Soon, all three of them were having fun in the snow while Felix watched them with large eyes.

'Just like old times' Jamie smiled in his thoughts. Back to where everything was normal. But what is normal, really? He forgot about the matters around him that surrounded the invisible world of legends and myths and focused on building a snowman. For some reason, Sophie climbed on a small tree and reached for something that sat on the higher branches. Both Jack and Jamie were busy throwing snowballs at each other that they didn't notice Sophie climb even higher before disaster happened.

It happened so fast that Jamie could have sworn it was a dream. A crack of a branch giving out and Sophie's choked scream rang through the yard. Felix barked loudly and ran to her.

But what he would never, ever, miss was the way Jack yelled out, "Sunshine!" as he sprinted across the area as fast as he could and caught the shaking little girl and held her against his chest. He slowly landed on the ground and let her sit on the pile of snow. Jamie ran towards them, he panicked for a moment when Sophie just sat there with wide eyes.

"Oh man, Soph, c'mon are you okay?"

If his mom found out what happened, he'll be as good as dead. His younger sister had a nasty habit of falling and it gave them the jitters especially his mom whenever Sophie ended up on the ground. Tooth Fairy was a regular visitor to their home other than Jack because Sophie had lost almost all her milk teeth before her older brother with all the accidents she got herself into.

Sophie snapped out of her daze then she giggled and stood up like she was merely sitting on the ground "Hehehe, pretty birdie!" she chanted and stood up to hop around the yard like nothing happened.

"Huh" Jamie breathed out and dusted off the snow from his sweater and turned to Jack. But Jack's eyes scanned the trees and squinted through the clouds.

"You're doing it again," he pointed out. Jack blinked a couple of times before he looked down with an innocent expression,

"Doing what?"

"You're spacing out on me again! Jack, is there something going on with the Guardians and," he swept his eyes all over the place before he dropped his voice and uttered, "Pitch?"

His response was instantaneous; his body was poker straight and he gripped his staff tighter that necessary. Jack leveled his face down to his and peered straight into his eyes,

"It's official need-to-know basis kiddo, just promise me that you'll stay out of trouble"

Jamie rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, "I never get mixed up in any kind of trouble, that's more of your turf."

The Guardian scoffed and flicked on his forehead, "Woah, where did you learn to back-sass huh?" Jamie poked out his tongue and said, "From you."

"Ah, then you learned from the best" he replied.

Jack sighed as Sophie molded the snow with her tiny fingers, that little fall incident was now forgotten but there was one detail that Jamie brought up,

"Wait, why did you yell 'sunshine'?" the boy asked with curiosity in his tone.

Jack nearly dropped his staff. His breathing stopped and the whole place just went quiet. Jamie was staring up at him expectantly and he could feel sweat flood out of every pore. Sunshine was his secret, she made him promise and he slipped. He hated lying to Jamie but he can't just break a promise with his new friend at the same time, so he said a silent apology and forced a chuckle at Jamie, "Haha sunshine? Did I say that? You're hearing strange things Jamie, better get your ears checked"

He wasn't even entirely sure what he yelled but when he watched Sophie fall, all he saw was a young woman with braided platinum blonde hair in her place. This was wrong, so wrong on so many levels. He was supposed to be having fun with Jamie and Sophie but his mind kept running back to Sunshine.

He knew he was worried but he underestimated it to what degree that worry can reach. It was confusing, he never held this much concern over someone before, even if he compared it with Jamie. And when Sophie said 'Pretty birdie'... he was so sure it was Fluff.

He shook his head to clear disturbing thoughts. Disturbing yes, but not unpleasant. Each time an image of her popped into his mind, it never failed to make him smile and it was accompanied by a guilty aftertaste in his mouth. He knew he was being unfair for Jamie since he promised the kid he was going to be by his side the whole trip but...

Plans change.

-',-

"It's alright, he will never know. Nothing bad will happen" Elsa whispered to herself as she paced back and forth across her cave. Fluff has yet to return and the nasty feeling of Pitch's recent visit still lingered in the air. The very thought of Pitch recruiting her was nauseating and the fear of him finding out about Jack...

Cloudy mists folded from the edge and miniature snowflakes appeared out thin air and floated along the breeze. She peered over her shoulder and eyed the covered sculpture. The veil exploded into a mist of white puffs when she waved her hand and observed the unfinished statue with critical eyes. There was conflict in her mind whether to tell Jack about Mann i Mørket or not, on one hand; she might be able to help him solve the case of the missing children since she suspected Pitch had something to do with it. But on the other hand, she will get caught in the middle of crossfire and the last thing she wanted to do was fight.

As much as she loathed Pitch, she'd rather stay in neutral grounds. No doubt those Guardians would snoop around to get information about her and she can't rely on Jack to protect her. He was a Guardian first and foremost; he will do his job and if he found her as a threat... Elsa didn't dare dwell on the possible consequences.

She rubbed her forearms, the gloves felt foreign against the cloth of her dress and it was uncomfortable but she needed them, they restrained her from doing something stupid... like what she was doing right now.

Elsa took several steps back when she realized that she was slowly leaning to the Jack-statue. "How odd" she said, tugging at the end of her braid as she did so. Odd with the fact that she was seeking assurance and words of comfort from the one whom she likened the statue with. But she wasn't ignorant as to really wonder the reason behind this.

Jack Frost was her safe place.

His presence gave her a sense of security, warmth and companionship. Her very first friend, the very idea gave her butterflies in the stomach and a smile appeared once more. Friend... he was her special friend. The only one she could trust.

She had never experienced waiting for someone to come to her, even with Anna when she was still living. Her younger sister would just barge into the room unannounced and begged her sister to take a time off and walk with her in the gardens to play with the goslings. And she never took a 'no' for an answer. She had gotten a lot braver since the 'eternal winter' mishap and she was more outspoken to Elsa with her wants and wishes.

Elsa felt the side of her lips curl up when she reminisced with her times with Anna but she was forced to cut it short when white-hot blinding pain shot on her chest. She gasped out and clenched her hands and waited for the pain to pass. It was always like that; whenever she thought about her loved ones; Anna, her parents, Olaf, Marshmallow; her chest would ache like someone was piercing an icepick through her chest cavity and twist it around. The pain was enough to drive anyone to tears but she hasn't shed any.

She knew the consequences of her actions and she would be dishonest if she said that there were no regrets but it was fine. Loving someone would require weakness and vulnerability, two things she didn't want in her life... eternal life that is. There no one who can love someone like her anyway and she was completely confident that she can never love another as well.

Two... Three... Four days had passed and Jack still didn't show up at their training grounds, he wasn't in the clearing too and it made her worry rather than being angry at his absence. What happened to him? Was it about the kidnapping? More questions with no answers and it fed the anxiety that plagued her entire body. She calmed herself down when she noticed a thin line of black ice that seeped under her feet. It was disconcerting; like her mirror that grew darker and darker that she was considering throwing it out. Every time she looked at the reflection, everything on that side was gloomy, depressing and her own reflection was like looking at another person.

The woman had her hair, face and clothing but her eyes were cold, dead and frightening. It was enough for Elsa to cover it up and never lift the veil off again. She had seen the way Pitch regarded it and it alarmed her; whatever caught Pitch's attention, he will surely use it for his gain. Too much things were happening around her and it overwhelmed her to the point that she wanted to hide away from it all. But she finally took a stand; she won't hide nor would she run. She wanted to continue on without hesitation and fear. She didn't want to just exist, she wanted to live.

A playful breeze tickled the back of her neck and her eyes followed the tiny frosts that made their way to the sky. The pearly outline of the moon had caused her smile to falter a bit. Jack had mentioned that the 'Man in the Moon' can talk. So that meant that the moon was embodied by a spirit as well... And Jack did imply that the moon spirit was the leader of the Guardians. But judging on how Jack drawled it out, he was akin to the classic rebel without a cause.

She liked that about him; he was always speaking out whatever was on his mind no matter how blunt and even rude it was but at least he was honest. And she knew he can keep her secret safe.

Fluff's five-note song rang through the clearing and she turned around, expecting Jack to appear next to the bird but a hint of sadness hit her hard when she saw the bird return unaccompanied. Heat flushed on her cheeks and the impulse to bite her lower lip kicked in; she was getting impatient. Jack never mentioned how long he will be gone and for all she knew, he might have abandoned her!

That wretched hellion!

Swirls of wind mingled with snow whipped out of the ground before Elsa contained it. Okay, maybe it was Guardian business and he fulfilled his duties first. She had put her royal duties first as well when she was still alive. After all, was he not the Guardian of Fun? Although he was more suited for the title as the Guardian of Chaos because of his behavior. Thinking about it lightened her mood even for just a bit so she held up her hand to let Fluff perch on her finger.

Fluff chirped loudly and shook his body twice, shedding snow all over her hand and tugged at her bangs. Elsa shook her head and petted the bird's head.

"Jack has been gone for a while now" she started, "I know that he'll be back but... I don't want to get my hopes up." Fluff stopped whistling and tilted his head to her direction before he suddenly jump and began to fly away. At first, she thought that he was only playing but he kept flitting from one direction then back to her.

Then he threw her a look that would have exasperation and sang out his song. Elsa took the hint and followed the bird.

When Fluff started to fly closer and closer to the borders of the city, her stomach squirmed and she began to have second-thoughts about this excursion. She had never seen so many people for a long time. The hustle and bustle of humans with their travelling machines and the noise of honks and chatters rushed into her ears. Fluff took a dive down to a row of houses on the farthest part of the city. It was quiet and out of place compared to its neighbours but it had a homely feel to it that she appreciated.

Fluff flew lower, and lower until they were floating just inches above the ground. Elsa dodged everything that was in front of her even if it will go straight through and finally stopped her flight when Fluff glided through the trees. The bird perched on one of the branches while she hid on one of the larger trees that were situated on the next house.

Elsa gasped inaudibly when she saw Jack play in the snow with a young boy with brown hair. She had never seen him act that lively recently and the fact that a living person could see him astounded her. Fun and happiness radiated from the scene, and it let her see his world, the one he dwelled in while she was isolated in the dark. He was good with kids, at least from what she gathered as he threw around the snowballs and played with them without inhibition. The dog was staring at her with its large round eyes and whined at her direction but all that she was focused on was how much Jack was having fun with the child. It reminded her how lonely she really was before she met him.

"Ooh, fluffy birdie!"

A high pitched voice snapped her back to reality and saw a little blond girl wearing a pink jacket reach for Fluff. The bird tilted its head in a curious way as the toddler climbed the tree. Elsa's eyes widened and started to make her way to the girl but she hesitated. If she exposed herself, Jack will see her and think that she wanted to be noticed by the children as well but the battle in her head had let her miss the impending danger that crept on the girl.

As soon as the girl reaches up for Fluff, the branch she was standing on gave out and she fell.

'Anna!' she cried in her mind, prompting a sleeping memory to wake when she was still a child herself and the scenario momentarily changed to the ice incident. Elsa was ready to use her powers to save the falling child only to hear his voice cry out "Sunshine!"

Did she hear it correctly?

She fled from the scene along with Fluff after Jack caught the girl in his arms. Confusion, irritation and unexplained warmth ran through her as she escaped back to the wilderness. A pack of wild deer automatically jumped out of the way when she landed right by the clearing.

'There was no mistaking it' she thought.

Jack just shouted out her name- or nickname for that matter. But why? A smile slowly crept its way to her face; he did that because they were friends and it gave her a warm and happy feeling. But a voice in the back of her head whispered,

'But friends don't just blurt out their other friend's name in a dangerous situation.'

Her steps halted and she froze when it hit her. No way... she took a deep breath and began to examine what transpired rationally. It would be wrong of her to think that Jack might have feelings for her because first of all; they're friends. Secondly, she and the little one had the same hair colour even if hers was considerably lighter so he must have mistook her for Elsa and thirdly... he just can't! This was not part of the plan; no- absolutely not! No issues of someone liking somebody and that said somebody like that someone back as well, that will be way out of line!

'No. Maybe I'm just overreacting' Elsa persuaded herself as she leaned against a tree, a scowl marred her features. 'Must've been a heat of the moment thing. I'm jumping to conclusions, silly me' Indeed, the notion was so impossible that it was certainly good for a laugh, no doubt Jack would have a field day if he ever found out about this. "Oh this just foolish" she chided to no one in particular, "I'm creating such a fuss over nothing"

Sweet notes filled the clearing. She watched Fluff glided above the ground a few inches over before he settled to her shoulder. The queen sighed and frowned deeper when she felt a dull ache in her chest. It's been doing that recently and it worried her; what was happening?

-',-

Golden miniscule sands aligned themselves into ropes of dreams that connected from Sandman's dreamcloud to every children's subconscious minds. The petite man monitored each dream with precision and alertness while carefully sifted beautiful dreams from dark nightmares. Even when Pitch wasn't around, a random nightmare would appear and give the child a bad night.

He was currently drifting along Norway, though he was supposed to be in South America but Tooth had begged him to change shifts with her since her fairies were having a bit of a pickle with different instructions that came from the flustered head fairy herself ever since the little girl was taken under her watch. Shame and discouragement had fallen to Tooth and while North and Sandy sympathized, Bunnymund and Jack were itching to get their hands on the culprit.

Sandman continued to shape animals and happy thoughts into his sand and let it flow into their mind stream. Dreams were precious things that should never be trifled with and though each Guardian regarded their center as special, they were all connected to each other.

He sat on the edge of his dreamcloud and watched the scene below. Hundreds upon hundreds of his dreamsands entered through the windows and walls, each draping a child with their dreams of delight, wonder and hope. There was a movement that he caught in the corner of his eye and his dreamcloud shape shifted into a small plane. He adjusted his goggles and flew down to a dark alleyway. All he could make out was a human-shaped outline that ran through the shadows.

His plane changed into a pony and galloped along the alley. The pathways were confusing with numerous twists and turns that it was easy to get lost in and the shadow grew smaller and smaller. When they reached the end of the alley, sound of a sweet melody was heard and a portal opened.

Sandman gasped silently and jumped out of his horse with a whip on each hand. The kidnapper! Sandy couldn't believe that the culprit had made a move right under his nose, what luck! And if he can't take out the guy by himself, at least he will have some information for the other Guardians.

But the battle that he waited for never happened. The portal closed without any incident; as if to show off the culprit's capabilities. A gust of wind that howled terribly almost blew him off the ground and then... there was silence.

Sandman snapped his hands in anger and looked around the place for some clues. There was something shining on the ground near the place the portal appeared to. He bent down and examined it with a question mark hang above his head. With what little light the moon can provide, he lifted up the glistening item and watched an ice crystal shine different colours of light.

Inside the crystal was a snowflake that had a tiny snowflake in it that was shaped like a flower.

-',-

"That's good!"

Jack praised as he watched Sunshine minimalized the ice shards. He tilted his head as he sat on the branch next to Fluff; it was nice to see her confident in contrast to her earlier stumbles.

"Okay," he said as he jumped down from the tree right in front of her, "Let's use it in a different situation"

She'd been anticipating this moment because for the first time he lifted his staff, she didn't freak out. Jack smirked as he tapped the ground gently with the end of his staff, each frost curled around her but she didn't move a muscle. If this was the old Sunshine, she would have sent him flying to a tree and spear him with an icicle on the middle.

So he used a different tactic; he circled around her, his smirk never left his face as his staff swiped the ground. Sunshine followed his movements, her arms were bent in a defensive posture, the dark ice was yet to make an appearance it was a good sign. It was like she had progressed overnight. Or five days since he left her. Guilt reared its ugly head again and Jack wanted nothing more than to stomp it back to the ground and place boulder on it so it can never rise again.

He was thrown back from his thoughts when he slipped from a lump of ice that came out of nowhere and fell face first to the ground. Jack wiped the dirt from his face and threw a nasty look at Sunshine who just gave him a smug smirk of her own.

"Oh you better get ready 'coz I'm really not gonna hold back this time!" he threatened.

She didn't say anything but held up her hands and icy winds blew behind her and swirled into a snow vortex. Words were not needed because he could clearly read it on her face as clear as day.

"Bring it on"

He pushed himself from the heel of his left foot and summoned a strong gale to thwart the direction of her vortex. It threw off her accuracy for a bit but she managed to clip his shoulder with a small needle. When he realized that the vortex was riddled with sharp ice nettles, he ran to the left and shot a blue jolt towards her. As she summoned a large wall to protect her, he flew above to catch her off-guard as always and raised his staff to freeze her feet in the ground; but what he didn't count on was a stomp of her foot and he was encased into vine-like sculptures and held him in place.

Smoothly, Sunshine turned around with a mocking expression on her face and placed a hand under her chin, "It seems the student has surpassed the master."

"Wanna bet?" he asked. Soaking in the moment her grin faltered as his frost enveloped her vines and froze it until it crumbled from the extreme cold. Sunshine huffed under her breath and positioned herself in a defensive posture as Jack steadied his staff across his chest. He had wanted to try this little move for a while but couldn't find the right time and now, it presented itself to him. He placed his hand from the neck to the end of his staff and concentrated on the tip. The space between the hook of his staff had shone in an electric blue light that frizzled the air between them in a series of crackles and the winds picked up and the sky rumbled.

Sunshine's eyes locked on the heavens and the clouds rolled around them like they were caught in the eye of the storm. Snow and wind mingled as lightning flashed but he kept his concentration to his staff. He could feel every bit of his power flow from his body to his weapon, all coming together for one big show. He knew he could control the winter elements but he didn't know that he can control the storm as well. If there was another upside for being a spirit, controlling the weather was a big plus in his book. He opened his eyes to take a peek at Sunshine but he immediately regretted his actions. She just stood there, rooted to the spot with her ice bursting around her like firecrackers. Jack called the storm back by frantically gesturing his hands like he was wiping a wall clean and within seconds; the sun was shining through the clouds again.

"Sunshine?"

He cautiously called out to her as he stepped closer. One wrong move and she'll surely revert back to the old Sunshine… again. She still didn't move from her spot and it worried him; was she in shock? Oh God, did he break her or something?

Various possibilities comes tumbling down his head that he missed the twitch in her hands and he found himself being pulled underneath the snow he was stepping on and thick chains of ice locked him to place. He grunted as he pulled hard to free himself but it was no use, the chains were thick and solid that even his frost was useless. She acted scared just so he would stop and use it as a distraction so she could one up him. Interesting, she could be deviant if she wanted to be.

With a bruised ego and unwilling surrender, he groaned out, "How did you do that?'

In a startling instant, she lowered her lips right next to his ear and said- or rather, purred to him, "Trade secret"

Jack was a million percent sure that the shiver in his spine wasn't caused by the ice and snow.

End of Chapter Ten

Author's Corner:

Oh my goodness you guys, I really didn't know how much you all liked this story! I mean, you told me that it was good but I never imagined for you guys to back this story up! Three cheers for the most reviewed chapter of the story so far! Really, all your reviews have motivated me to stop being a baby and continue on and stronger than ever! I would like to thank the following people who had reviewed the last chapter:

peco-desu: Yes, a lot had been saying that this wasn't a love at first sight fic which was a compliment considering I don't like stories like that. And thanks for the support, I'll carry on with better writing style and hopefully you'll stay with us til the end :)

maggi. lefay: Es un poco como lo suyo. Y sean pacientes, todos esos personajes harán su aparición en los próximos capítulos.

Dark Dark n Sunny: Oh hahaha, really? Well that's good because I thought I drifted their character off a bit here. And woah, 9 chapters in one go? I hope it was worth it for you :) Hope to hear from you soon!

StormyRebel: Really? Really really really? Oh my thank you for that! I know it's not that great but to have someone like you appreciate it that much really brightened up my day!

Static1218: Actually it took me a while to get the reference but I finally got it hahaha!

CarishTale: Hmmm, somewhat half-Filipina I think since it's in my mother's side and my dad's side was a mix of Canadian, Greek and Irish. Mom's half-Chinese and Half-Filipino, and I can only understand a few Filipino words. I can only roughly translate a few of them especially the question of "Ano ang lahi mo?" And all I can literlly understand in that sentence was, "What's your breed?" I almost answered 'Siberian Husky' though xD

Now for your questions!

a. ROTG didn't really state that Jack Frost was the personification of winter itself but rather a representation of the season because of his powers. I can explain more but it will be a spoiler since it would all be explained in the future chapters.

b. The heart that was frozen wasn't literally the functioning organ but more on the metaphorical state. The 'heart' was the center for all emotions and feelings that was processed in and Elsa picked out love as the representation of heart. And when the heart beats fast… well I'm sure you'll find out what will happen.

NightmareHeartx: Oh don't fret, you reviewed and that's what counts. Especially that you liked the pace so far and their interactions as well. Hahaha, nah I don't want Pitch to be a creeper, it's not really his style… or was it?

StarMaster7: I'm proud to have this because it connected me to people who loved to read like you guys :,) No joke, you guys are the inspiration for this and I would love nothing more than to type out my story and entertain you all!

Maict: Indeed, I like to drabble on the many sides of the characters because I felt that they were a bit one-sided on the film so I just did what I could and thankfully you guys liked it :)

The Queen of Valencia Torgue: Yeah, it scared me to think that if I had taken this down, not only will I be kicking myself but lots of others out there will be out for my blood xD

Otakugirl 13: I'm so sorry I made you miss your class! Your question will be answered in the future chapters and congrats my 100th follower! Let's hope for a 100 more xD

Amaranth1412: I just love the way you analyzed my story :) I've been pouring my thoughts on how to push them together without seemingly too forceful. And I'm not convinced that Jack was a guy who's goofy all the time. And for the flame: I just took it as a sign that at least it got noticed hahaha. My friend joked that 'once you earned yourself a hater, it meant that you're doing the job right'. But we all know that's not really a good advice xD So, thank you for the comments and opinion to the characterization and I hope this story will continue to entertain you.

DeniseAgron: My dear reviewer! Hahah yeah it was like finding out a dirty secret :D And the way you commented about Jack calming Elsa's storm made me think that he's a tranquilizer or something xD

SnowQueen: Well I'm glad that you can find something to write about. And if you have a story, I wouldn't hesitate to read it :)

And thanks to:
Guest (anon) and jinouga23 for reviewing as well!

Whew, over 90 reviews and 100 follows awwww, you guys just made me cry! I hope you all weren't a bit miffed with the slow updates 'cause the power's always on and off here due to heavy snow storms and I'm on my way to school now so, read and review please and let's keep this story strong!
