The moon disappeared as the two of them watched, replaced by a burning sun in sky. Elsa looked at Jack.

"Is your back okay?" She said. Jack nodded. "Let me see." Jack sighed dramatically.

"Don't you trust me?" He said.

"Not in the slightest." Elsa said, turning herself so she sat cross legged facing him. "Now, let me see."

He groaned, also turning himself, so now he sat facing the wall. Pulling the shirt over his head, he examined the delicate veins of blue in the ice. As Elsa's fingers brushed against his skin, he braced his hand. The ice seemed to react to his, light pulsing around his touch. Jack smiled. Whoever had built this was amazing. It wasn't some just building made of ice, like he had thought. It was alive. Amazing.

"Amazing," Elsa said, shaking Jack from his thoughts. "It's almost completely healed!"

"I guess it goes with the job description."

"And what's that?"

Jack pulled his shirt back on and grinned, tilting his head back to look at her. From his view she was upside down. It made him laugh slightly. "I'm the Guardian of Fun."

She raised her eyebrows. "That doesn't explain a lot."

He sat back up and spun around, crossing his legs. Their knees touched as he look solemnly at her, although the playful light in his eyes told her he was not serious. Placing his hand over his heart, he said, "I protect childhood, and all it stands for."

"You mean, you like, fight the bad dreams?"

"Pretty much." Jack said, breaking into grin again.

"Good to know."

"That's not all, though," Jack said. Leaning forward, he held his hand together. Elsa also leaned in, looking at his hands clasped together. As he opened them, he quickly formed three butterflies, incredibly lifelike and made entirely of ice, animating them so that the fluttered out in a line. It was a trick he'd been practicing for the past few weeks. He looked at her, watching the awe creep into her eyes. Extending a slender hand, one of the butterflies landed on the tip of her finger. She smiled. Not a smirk, or a cold, secretive smile. A brilliant one, one that contained true happiness and wonder. It made him smile too.

"Not bad, eh?" He said.

She turned her attention away from the delicate ice creature on her finger, smiling secretly. "Not bad." She looked like she was about to say something else, but shook her head, suddenly becoming distant again, moving sharply away from Jack, over to her horse.

"You ready to go?" She said. "Depending on which way we go, it might take all day to get back to my home. I left my sister in charge, so..."

Jack waved his hands, watching the butterflies harden and fall abruptly to the ground. "Yeah. I'm ready to go." Elsa grabbed the the reigns of the horse leading it outside.

Jack stared at his creations. She had seemed happy. For a second, she had seemed happy. He didn't know what he had done wrong. Why did she seem so... Afraid of him? He had never met her before. She didn't seem surprised by him. She just quietly accepted him, although it was filled with a quiet fear. Picking up the butterflies, he placed them in his pocket.

"I'll figure you out yet, Elsa," he said quietly. "I'll do whatever it takes."

Elsa lead Eponae outside. She had been so close to showing Jack her own powers. She could've made anything. She couldn't not been alone in that moment.

Why hadn't she?

Why hadn't she?

Shaking her head in frustration with herself, she stomped forward a few feet. Deep down, she knew why. It was the same thing that had control her life since she had first hurt Anna, to when she had been accepted by everyone. It had gone, and now it was back.

She had been scared.

Worse, it wasn't the fear of hurting anyone, it was a purely selfish fear of the thought of losing Jack again. She was not going to let that happen. Ever. For the first time in months, she pulled her gloves on, feeling the comforting feeling of the fabric on her skin.

Don't let him in.

Taking a deep breath, she stood up, holding herself regally again, just as Jack came outside. Turning around to face him, her face held the same slightly aloof coldness she used to have before everyone found out about her powers. He stared at her, like he was trying to read her thoughts.

Don't let him see.

"Where are we going?"

"Back to my home."

"Why?"

"I don't want to stay in an ice cabin."

"Why?"

"Because, I unlike you, are not made of ice." She said, biting her lip at the lie.

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Dear lord, do you ever stop asking questions?"

"Hey look, you just asked a question."

"It must be contagious."

"It sure is. It's a disease. Unfortunately you started it, so it's all your fault."

"How is it my fault?"

"You aren't giving me any real answers!"

Elsa rolled her eyes. "I am so not saving you next time."

"Admit it. You think I'm adorable."

"I think you're annoying."

"I'm hurt," Jack said, stumbling backwards. "I think your cruel words have killed me!" He spun around, landing flat on his back in the snow. The snow flew up around him.

Elsa giggled despite herself, covering her mouth. Walking over to him, she said, "Come on, Jack. I want to get back before dark."

He lay there, making snow angels while watching as she approached, until she was right beside him, before grabbing her hand and pulling her into the snow beside him. Her fall was cushioned by the snow, and she felt fly around her, landing in her hair and on her clothes. They both began to laugh as they lay there, her hand still in hers. She look at him, meeting his bright blue eyes, feeling her heart flutter slightly. She was tempted, in that moment to tell him everything.

Conceal, don't feel, Elsa.

"We really have to get back," she said. "I promised my sister."

Jack nodded slowly. "Of course, Elsa."

Sitting up, she turning away from him.

This was going to be hard.

A/N: It's a bit late and I'm still not quite sure about this chapter, but meh, I went on a very long hike and a two hour expedition to Target (of which thirty minutes was spent in the silverware section... silverware, of all things), and then I got sick, so we're just going to roll with it. I'd appreciate it if you tell me what you thought about it, and thank you all for reading. You all make my day! I'm hoping to get another update in by Saturday, so I'll see you all then. Bye!
