A/N: This update is a smudge longer than the others, (but seriously, a SMUDGE, like, if I didn't mention it you probably wouldn't have noticed it) because I'm making up for it for not updating yesterday! (please don't kill me! TnT)
The air wasn't cold at all, but a surprisingly comfortable temperature. It worried you why the air seemed so warm, but it was probably because you were dead, a spirit. The clouds beneath you flew past, as Jack raced to the northern regions of the world.
There was a silence between you two, Jack concentrating on getting to the North Pole as quickly as he could fly, his eyes on the light of the north star.
Half an hour passed, and you had started to wander off in the memories that Man in the Moon hadn't erased. You playing with the neighborhood kids when you were still alive, meeting Jack, eating cookies late at night in a bedroom. A memory came back of the night you left your home with Jack, Jack picking you up to spirit you away from the house, your eyes oddly puffy and red.
You were so deep in thought you almost didn't notice the dancing green and blue lights waving in the sky like a banner. You shoved the memories into the back of your mind and you stared, open mouthed, at the aurora surrounding you.
"Woah," You whispered, and Jack smiled hugely, glancing down at you. Your gaze was so focused on the light ribbons that you didn't notice the large mountain of ice approaching, until Jack slowed down and stepped onto a small platform of ice.
"We're here." Jack nodded towards a large red door, decorated with gold, silver and bronze colored designs. He set you down on your feet, and because you haven't used your legs since you came back from the dead, you almost fell, if it wasn't for Jack who was still holding you, his arm wrapped around your waist.
You both approached the huge door (Jack walking confidently and you stumbling along), and Jack reached out his staff and banged against the door. There was silence, but the door soon slowly opened, revealing a colorful chaos. Airplanes, UFO's, and other such objects were flying around the large room which opened up to you. Huge, seven foot tall fuzzy white monsters walked around confidently, like business men in the office. Tiny people, which you thought to be elves, wobbled along like penguins under the feet of the fuzzy giants, looking more like red triangles with legs.
Jack helped you in, but you were more confident about walking again, so you soon lost the need to have Jack's supporting arm around you, and instead you held his hand as he lead you through the chaos. The room went in a huge circle around a large hole in the center. The hole showed story after story of rooms, going up and down seemingly forever. A large globe hovered in the space at the level you were currently on, small, lights showing up in almost every available area on the dark green land.
"This is the workshop. I bet you were expecting something different, huh?" Jack mused, looking around and watching the colors fly about around you both.
"Yes, yes I was." You nodded slowly, watching with wide eyes at the scene.
"Jack Frost!" A heavy russian accent called from behind you, and you turned towards the source. A big man (not fat big, but muscular big) wearing a red shirt and black trousers stood with a smile on his face by a large fireplace. He had a long, white beard and a joyful look in his eyes, despite the tattoos which covered his arms, 'Naughty' written on his right, 'Nice' on his left.
"North! Hey!" Jack replied back, using his staff-wielding hand to wave in greeting. The tone of his voice said he wasn't surprised to see him, or all that excited, but he seemed happy, nonetheless.
"It's so good to see you, and your little girl friend." His blue eyes, more like an ocean than Jack's crystal ones, rested on you with gentleness and joy. You knew that despite his almost scary appearance, he was a little puppy, wanting to install happiness into others.
"It's nice to meet you, North!" You smiled hugely, always wanting to have met the famous Santa Claus, even though he was a little more tough looking than what you had previously imagined.
"Oh, no, the pleasure is all mine my dear." He let out a chuckle, and he looked you up and down, taking note of the huge, bloody hole in the coat he gave you (the hole in you, however, had healed completely as you had woke up, probably by the power of Man in the Moon resurrecting you). "I see you have been using that coat fully." A raised eyebrow from him made you slightly nervous. Nervous that you had ruined the beautiful coat he had given you less than 48 hours ago.
"I'm sorry, it's just that… there was kind of a problem and, uh… well, more of a fight really." You stammered, trying to apologize to the big man in red. "I was outside, so I didn't really want to have my coat off, and I kinda took a projectile to the chest." You said it jokingly, but you felt a pained reaction come off Jack, and you kinda regretted saying it, but you had gotten a bout of laughter from North.
"Don't worry, little one. It's okay, I heard about what had happened. Man in Moon showed me that you had become a spirit." North had walked up to you, and now his hand rested reassuringly on your shoulder. "That is why, I made you a new one." With a motion of his free hand, a handful of elves came marching in, carrying above their heads a new, white coat. It looked exactly like your torn one; fur lining the hood, down, zip-up (without the bloody stains though, of course). However, this one was slightly different as well. Small, metal snowflakes were the zippers, and streaks of an icy blue going up the sides and down the seam of the sleeves blended in with the white. You smiled hugely as the coat was presented to you, and you lifted it from the hands of the elves.
"Oh my god! Thank you!" You turned from gazing at the coat and attacked North with a hug. He wasn't startled at all, and he quickly returned the act.
"You're welcome, little one." He smelled strongly of peppermint and chocolate, and it was comforting, however, it would never beat the pine and wintergreen of Jack.
You pulled back, stripping off your bloody coat for the new one. It fit more tightly than the ruined one, pressing against your body to define your shape, however, it was also more comfortable and warm, and felt almost like a second skin.
"I made it out of special fibers taken from yetis." North's comment had you look up in surprise, and behind him, standing in the shadows was one of the large creatures, it's fur gone and replaced with a pink skin. He looked on, embarrassment on his face, but happiness in his eyes. "Do not worry. He volunteered."
"Oh, my! Is this the new girl?" A feminine voice this time, followed by a the humming of of what seemed to be a hundred bees. You looked, and a large blur of bluish green and yellow had floated up to you. "Hi! I'm toothiana."
She hovered before you, her wings beat so quickly they were only a blur attached to her back, and a low hum sounded. Bluish-green feathers covered her body, save her face and hands, yellow accented her neck and head, and dark blue tail feathers were puffed. Her hand was stretched out before you.
You were unsure about her sudden and quick introduction, but you reached your hand out to hers anyway. As your hand neared hers, suddenly her hands shot up to your face, prying open your lips and she looked deep into your mouth. You tried to pull back, mumbling in objection, but she hovered along, keeping an always short distance between you and her.
"My! You had good dental hygiene when you were alive. I believe you did have a cavity when you were younger? Well, at least you learned from that. I do love it when humans take care of their teeth!" You could feel her prodding and poking your teeth. She was like the dentist, just without the space boundaries. You looked over to Jack for help, but he just sat by and stared, laughingly.
'She does this, don't worry.' You could see him mouth the words, and he continued to smile in laughter. You glared daggers at him, revenge for not helping you.
Finally, North was the one who helped you. "Okay, toothiana, I think her checkup is good, yes?"
"I think so. It's just that I get so excited when I see new teeth! I just have to see those again sometime. They look somewhat different, I can't quite put my finger on it, though. Maybe something with what Man in the Moon did?" She mumbled the last sentence, and you barely caught it above what North was saying.
"You are having trouble figuring out who Man in Moon brought you back as, yes? We have all had the same trouble, too. But do not worry, little one, I received some advice." With a wink, he waved with his hand in a 'follow me' gesture and lead you out of the main room.
A/N: So, yes! As I said earlier, there is going to be another voting! So I've figured out where to place this scene in the story, but it won't be for another couple chapters, (Don't worry guys! It's only like, three or four or so chapters from now! (don't murder me please!)) and there will be a voting most likely next chapter or the one after that. It'll be a short voting, and I'm not taking votes at this time, but I wanted to get the idea out there... Sex w/ JF? y/n? (If the winner is no then I'll change the rating to T instead of M, but there will be more cute times with Jack! Don't worry)
