Disclaimer: First I lol'd that you thought I owned this. Then I serious'd.
The Odd Ball Out
When Amber woke up, it was completely and utterly freezing.
In the middle of August.
She grumbled and finally shoved her way out of her covers as the cold continued to seep into her underclothing. Throwing open the closet doors, she jerked a robe out and started to pull it around her when a tapping came at her window. She blinked and turned, gazing at the curtains as it continued. With a frown, she made her way over, throwing them open.
"Jack! What are you doing here?" She snapped at the grinning winter spirit. He gave her a mock wounded look and gestured to the paints in his arms. The teen opened the window, shivering as he slipped in past her. "How are you here?"
"I am the master at Rock, Paper, Scissors." She stared at his answer and glanced out the window.
"There are people literally frying an egg on that sidewalk down there. And… wait. Is that… snow on the ground?"
"Like I said, master." Jack Frost replied with a grin, dumping the paints onto her bed. "I made a deal with Summer. Your house has been winterized. Congratulations! You're going to be the bane of all scientists after this." She gave him a frown before looking back out, watching it begin to snow as if they were stuck in a snowglobe. She reached out, frozen flakes melting against her fingers.
"Dang you. I can't be mad at this awesomeness." The blonde pouted but shot him a wonder-filled smile. "So why'd you decide to freeze my house? Unless you've got your name written on the roof and did it for the publicity…"
"I would never use your roof to show off! I can do that with everything I do. It was your birthday a few weeks ago, yeah? So I'm here for a belated present~ Just sit back and watch the awesome of Jack Frost." The white-haired male gave her a mischievous smirk and directed her to sit on the bed. She frowned slightly but did as he wanted, tucking herself into the warmth of her robe as he went to her window. His staff tapped against the top pane, fern like frost spreading out across the glass. He balanced it in the crook of his elbow before tracing a picture in the frost.
"Green." Amber blinked before looking back at the paints and offering him the one he asked for. This continued for a few seconds before Jack stood back with an excited light in his eyes.
"What is that? Like… a lizard?"
"Watch, watch! I've been practicing." He stretched out his hands towards it, fingers curling in towards the palms. The frost creature began to shift then peel away from the glass, earning a gasp from the teen. It solidified the further out it came until it was completely free, plopping into Jack's awaiting hands. It shook its head at the impact. "Here!" Amber put out her hands, watching the creature slowly crawl onto them with bright fascination.
"It's a dragon!" She squealed excitedly, examining its little features. It was green with white eyes, blue frosty designs stretching across its body and snout. The dragon gazed at her with pupil-less eyes before snuggling against her fingers. "How did you… Oh my God, it's… it's alive and just… wow! So… awesome!" Jack smiled, bright with her awe.
"So you like it?"
"I love it!" She lowered her face, pressing her cheek against its head. "I'm going to name it Obriel!"
"Great! You can repay me when Bunny comes." She snapped her gaze up at him as he began to float towards the window, that mischievous air back.
"You're not supposed to repay birthday gifts, Jack. Wait… why would the Easter Bunny come here…?"
"Those might be the best paints he's got… and I might have stolen them. But that's just theoretical..."
"Jack!" Amber jumped to her feet, the little dragon tumbling out into the air, righting itself before it hit the ground. "Don't you dare—!"
"I'll come back so we can finish our ice food fight after you take the fall for me! Love you, too Amber!" He was out the window in a second and Amber gathered up the paints, darting after him.
"Jack! Come back here you—"
"Hey! Shelia!" Amber stiffened, looking down at the voice. A shivering bunny was staring up at her. An angry, glaring, 6-foot tall bunny that was waving a boomerang as big as her head at her. "How'd ya get those paints? Those are my finest paints!" His boomerang twitched in his paw.
"I um… well… EEP!" She threw the paints out the window, hearing a shriek of, 'MEH PAINTS!' as she slammed the window shut and fled from the room. The little ice dragon fluttered clumsily after her.
Jack Frost… that jerkface was going to pay! … After she enjoyed the summer winter wonderland... Then! Then he'd get it!
A/N: I hope that's a good enough summer/winter wonderland. XD I kinda got sidetracked by a birthday idea so… hope that makes sense too~! Might make a companion to this…
