Guess what?! Got back a day earlier than thought and I GOT 8TH IN MY EVENT! I'm so proud :') anyways, OMG 50 REVIEWS! I think this calls for a special! You guys are amazing, as always, reviews at the bottom, if you did review I probably answered you. Enjoy this long chapter!
It had been exactly three days since Jack had told Anna about Elsa.
They had agreed to search some things up together on weekends. Wherever Elsa was, they would find her.
It didn't make sense if the crash was on he 10th of March, and Elsa was there for school four days later for the next two weeks, she couldn't be dead. For the first time, Jack saw the same spark in Anna's eyes that she had when they were little. He was glad to see it.
He and Kate had made great progress on the song. He could almost say that they were friends, maybe.
In fact, he was going to meet her there now.
He stopped outside the practice rooms when he heard yelling.
"Leave Jack alone!" That sounded like...oh no, Jasmine.
He burst into the room to find Kate cowered in a the corner, a ferocious and slightly rabid-looking Jasmine yelling at her.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this?" He immediately demanded. He felt more than saw Kate's glare at him. Why would she be glaring at him? That girl made no sense whatsoever.
"Jackie!" Jasmine cried, running to throw her arms around his neck.
"Jasmine, please leave," he said pushing her away.
Jasmine suddenly looked very hurt.
"B-but Jack-"
"We're a little busy at the moment," he said, gesturing to the piano.
She nodded silently, sobbing as she ran out of the room.
Kate continued to glare at him from her corner.
How dare he? How dare he waltz into here to save her when a month ago, he probably would have joined Jasmine. She couldn't believe the nerve of him. Just because he had changed didn't mean he had to suddenly...
Suddenly what? She couldn't even finish the thought. Her anger ebbed away, but her frustration remained.
Jack stood in the door way, sighing.
Kate slowly started to rise, picking at a button on her blazer.
"Aren't you going to go after you're girlfriend?" Kate whispered eventually.
Jack looked at her and laughed. "She's not my girlfriend. And good riddance."
Kate raised an eyebrow at him.
He cleared his throat. "Ahem, anyways, are you okay?"
Suddenly, she felt like hitting him again. She seethed inside, but remained calm and collected on the outside. She nodded.
Just conceal it, don't feel it, don't let it show.
Conceal, don't feel.
This always seemed to help.
"Do you just want to skip it today?" She suggested.
Jack shrugged. "Sure."
Kate sighed gratefully, rushing away to her own practice room.
She set her things down, not bothering to worry about where Jack went.
Jack. Jack. Jack. It just always had to be Jack. Everything she did revolved around Jack. He had cancelled the practices on the weekends s he could party with his friends, he had told her, and now she had to work on their project that was due that Monday all by herself.
Oh well. All the better. She wouldn't have to worry about it so much.
She sat down at the bench, and began to play a simple warm up an old teacher had taught her.
"Very nice," a cool voice spoke behind her.
The keys tumbled out of control as Kate quickly stood.
Mr. Black was leaning against the doorway.
"Oh, sorry, sir, I was just in here to, um, are you here to, my lesson was..." She couldn't even finish one whole sentence.
"Oh no, it's quite fine. My apologies for being unable to attend our previous lessons." Only he didn't sound sorry at all.
His dark coat and tan trousers didn't make him look friendly. His skin was very, very pale and had eyes that she swore were golden.
"Um that-that's okay," she squeaked.
"I hope you continue with your progression." He said, and was gone.
Kate let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding.
~The next day, which I have decided is going to be Friday~
Kate stared at the note on her dorm.
Meet at the fountain, we're going pet-shopping with Hiccup
-J
Why that little prat. He just assumed that she would go. But of course she would. She was push-over Kate. The shy little wallflower. The Snow Queen. Who now had almost as many rumors about herself as the famous Jack Frost. She couldn't pass don a single corridor without having to pretend not to notice all the whispers and stares she got. A lot of people had tried to become friends with her, but she continued to stay loyal to Hiccup.
She went inside, sighing.
She changed her uniform into a white long sleeve t-shirt, her white-washed trench coat, and black jeggings. She wore her uniform flats and slipped on some silk gloves for the cold. Not that she really minded it, but the feeling was nice.
She had just redone her perfect french braid crown twist bun when Jack barged into her room.
She jumped away from the bathroom mirror with a start. How had she forgotten to lock her dorm?
"Hey, princess, let's go!" Jack shouted.
"I have a name you know," she mumbled to no one in particular.
She turned back to the mirror, adjusting her makeup.
She heard a thump as someone-p probably Jack- at down on one of the beds and soft creak as another- probably Hiccup- sat down on the other.
"Hey, let's just make yourselves right at home," she muttered as she came out.
"Hey Kate," Hiccup greeted. She smiled at him.
"Finally, we haven't got all day you know!" Jack exclaimed. Kate glared at him, but recomposed herself quickly. What was it about him that made her crack her perfectly shined armor?
But she already knew. It was because she still remembered him. Still longed for him she used to know, for the her she used to be...
But no. She had already left that life behind. It was time to move fact, it was long time to move on.
"Let's just go," she said politely.
They drove to Corona's pet shop. Surprisingly, it was very nice.
Hiccup and Kate drifted towards the kittens, while Jack ran over to a few puppies in a pen.
"Aww, look, that one likes you," Kate teased Hiccup as a small black one darted out to attack Hiccup's face.
"Get it off me!" He cried. She laughed more sincere than she had for a long time. It felt good to laugh.
When Hiccup pried it off of his face, the small black kitten had sleek fur, and had no white anywhere. It had the biggest green eyes that Kate had ever seen that were huge orbs of adorableness.
"Aww, he's so cute," Kate said, reaching to pet his head.
"Yeah, I guess he kinda is," Hiccup said, scratching its ears as it rumbled a purr that sounded way too loud for its tiny body.
The kitten snapped to alert, and started gnawing on Hiccups hand.
"Huh," Hiccup said. "I could have sworn you had-"
He yelped as the kitten suddenly nipped him.
"Teeth," he finished, pulled his hand away.
Kate laughed again. She saw a small ball of fluff in the corner of the pen. Her eyes softened when she saw that it was all alone.
She went over to pick it up.
The kitten mewled softly as it was lifted.
She held it in her hands like a toy. Its eyes were closed tightly as it started to purr.
Kate smiled, playing with its tiny paws.
"That one's my favorite," a voice spoke behind her.
Kate jumped, making sure not to drop the kitten.
"Oh, hello Rapunzel," she greeted quietly. Despite everything going on, Kate liked Rapunzel. She didn't seem fake at all, even though she could tell tht she had the biggest crush on Flynn.
"Oh please, call me Punzie!" She said cheerfully. A small green chameleon poked out from behind her long golden locks.
"Hello there,' Hiccup said.
"Oh, this is Pascal. I've loved working here and now I can take him on campus!" She said. "And that black one you've got there is a feisty one, isn't he? Is that Jack Frost over there? Did Flynn come with you guys?" She looked around hopefully.
"Sorry, no," Kate said.
At the same time, Hiccup muttered, "No, thank the Gods."
Kate kicked his side.
"Ow! Was that necessary?" He muttered to her.
"Yes it was now shut up," she whispered.
"Sometimes I like you better when you're the Snow Queen."
She shoved him again, making the kitten scratch his arm up to keep from falling.
"Ha ha," she said. His arm had a few very red marks now.
"You two are hilarious," Punzie laughed. "Oh right, that little girl." She gestured to the kitten in Kate's arms.
"Sad story really. She was a rescue. Her mother died and her three other sibling didn't make it. She's been alone for the past few days. That's the most active I've seen her all week."
"Aw, how sad," Kate remarked. She held him up again, knowing that this was the pet she was buying.
Suddenly, she heard a voice behind them saying, "That's okay, I'll just buy what's necessary."
"Oh no, what'd Jack do this time?" Hiccup muttered, sighing.
Kate couldn't help but agree. They walked over, both of the kittens still in their arms.
Jack was talking with one of the clerks, and in his arms he held a very large grey and almost red bunny.
"Hmm, I wouldn't think that Jack would-" Kate cut off when she realized that the bunny's red color wasn't natural.
The rabbit's one leg was hanging limply from Jack's arms, and its eyes were gleamed with terror. Its one side was covered with blood, but it looked alert to new threats.
"Oh no, what happened?" Kate asked when they reached him.
"This guy here got loose and ran into the dog pens. One of the older dogs got him and, well, let's just say it wasn't pretty. So I've decided to nurse this guy back to health," he replied proudly.
"Poor thing," she cooed t it. She held her small kitten in one arm and stroked the bunny with her free hand.
"I see you two have found your pets," Jack said, nodding to the small white kitten and the black one that had claimed Hiccup's arms.
"Actually, I don't know-" the kitten then purred loudly, scratching against his arm.
He sighed, nodding.
Kate laughed again. She could already tell that those would be a very interesting pair.
They bought their new pets and some food, getting Jack some vet supplies.
They let him take the bunny for free, since they didn't expect him to live the night, which they kept warning him, but Jack just waved them off..
Kate hoped that they were wrong. She knew that the old Jack would be heartbroken if the bunny didn't make it, but she wasn't so sure about this Jack.
They got to the car. Kate held her kitten's carrier in her lap, watching Hiccup's kitten while he drove. Jack held the bunny gingerly in his arms, out of its carrier.
"I think we need names," Kate announced.
Hiccup chuckled from the driver's seat. "Well I was thinking about calling mine Toothless."
"That's a funny name," she said. "But, in a way, it kinda makes sense."
She was thinking about the remark Hiccup ad said hen the Kitten had bitten him.
"I used to take Latin. I think this little girl's nae is gunna be Nevara." She decided. It sounded right. The kitten purred as she stroked its back.
Jack just replied, "I think I'll wait and see if this guy is strong enough."
They talked a little bit more before they got back to BPAA.
"So, Flynn's throwing a party tonight..." Jack started.
"Oh hell no, Jack," Hiccup immediately refused.
"But why?" Jack whined.
"I am not going to a party!"
"Please?"
"No."
"Kate!" They shouted simultaneously.
Kate held her hands up. "Don't look at me!"
"Will you come?" Jack asked.
"Uh oh." Hiccup stated.
"What?" She said.
"Please?" Jack asked again but she ignored him for the time being.
"Sorry, I may or may not have told him-"
"You didn't!" Kate said.
Hiccup nodded apologetically.
"Haddock I will kill you-"
"Please, Kate?" Jack asked.
Kate made the mistake of turning to face him to yell 'no' but that did not happen.
Jack was giving her the most saddest puppy dog face ever. And to make it more, he was holding the bunny in an adorable position.
"No!" She tried helplessly.
"Pleeeeeease?"
She peeked behind her hands. "Gah! I hate you both!"
"Yes!" Jack called. "Be at my Flynn's dorm at nine. You're going to miss out, Hiccup!" With that, he ran away to his dorm, leaving Kate and Hiccup standing there.
"Great." Kate muttered.
"Hey Kate?" Hiccup said seriously.
"Yeah?"
"Just...be careful. There's a reason I said no. Flynn and Jack get pretty drunk. I'd suggest you leave if and when that happens. It's not good."
"Hiccup! You're the one who made me go!" She pouted.
"Not technically."
"But you told Jack-"
"Yeah, yeah. I didn't think he'd actually remember. Just be careful." Then he, too, left.
Kate sighed, fixing her bun before heading up t her own dorm.
"This is going to be fun." She muttered to herself as she applied her mascara.
Nevara mewled in agreement.
Kate slipped on her white heels, petting her.
"You'll be okay here? Don't worry. I think if I just make an appearance Jack'll be happy."
Nevara purred in response.
"Okay. With luck, I'll be back soon." She told the cat, walking out the door.
She stuffed her hands in her pockets as she walked, hoping her bun wasn't messed up. She inhaled the cold night air as she went. Oh God, why was she doing this again? Because, once again, of Jack.
She stepped into Flynn's dorm. It was quite large, compared to the rest of them, and it was packed with people.
She awkwardly stepped to the side as a group of people rushed by her to grab a drink. Several people offered her a drink, but she refused.
She was sure she was getting a lot of whispers, but the background music and too many people talking covered it up.
She found the living room, which wasn't so crowded, and sat down on the couch. Everyone ignored her or stared at her.
This was a terrible idea. She could just leave and tell Jack that she changed her mind. He would be too drunk and she could tell him that he simply didn't remember seeing her.
Suddenly, a loud group of guys walked in.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
"Hey, look, it's the Snow Queen!" Flynn slurred. There was a half empty cup of something sloshing to the floor in his hand. He was obviously already fully gone.
"Yo! Hey Kate!" Jack slurred.
Kate immediately narrowed her eyes. There was something off about Jack. He sounded and looked almost too drunk. But his actions were too quick, and when she caught sight of his face his eyes were too alert.
That's when she realized that he wasn't drunk at all.
The group stumbled their way over to her.
Flynn breathed over her, and she could almost taste to drink. She just about gagged.
"Hey Snow Queen, why are you so cold?" Flynn laughed.
Jack laughed as well, hiccuping slightly. She had to say, he was doing a pretty good job of fooling everyone. But she knew him too well.
"I gotta say, Jack, I'm pretty impressed." She said loudly and clearly.
Jack narrowed his own eyes, suddenly ditching his act for a moment.
He backed up just slightly when he realized that she knew.
But just like that he went back to being "drunk."
"Impressed with what, all this?" He gestured to himself, smiling, hoping to play it off.
Kate smiled dangerously. Then she grabbed the front of his shirt.
To anyone else, it would have looked like she was planting a long kiss on his cheek, but she hissed in his ear, "You don't fool me, Overland, whatever you're playing at I hope you get what you deserve."
When she pulled away, her nice and polite smile was back, showing no signs of the hospitality she had just shown to Jack.
For a moment, he was stunned. No one had ever caught him in the act. Everyone believed that he was drunk Even when he came back to his dorm with a fake hangover the next morning Hiccup bought it with no problem.
How was Kate different?
"Excuse me boys, I seem to have made a mistake," she shot Jack a very hard stare. "A very big mistake. If you'll excuse me."
"Oh, you're not going anywhere." Flynn grabbed her arms.
Jack had to hold himself back.
"You're coming with me," Flynn said, walking away. Jack just about lost it but Kate saved him.
"Like hell!" She shouted (or as loud as she ever dared), bringing her knee to Flynn's groin.
He grunted, falling to the ground.
Kate angrily stalked off. That stupid Jack and his friends. Why did he have to put up such an act?
"Kate!" A very un-drunk Jack called out.
She stopped, twitching her head ever so slightly in annoyance.
"Kate!" He eventually caught up with her.
"Nice show, Jack, you had the whole crowd fooled. I applaud you." Kate rested her hands on her hips icily.
"Relax, it was just some fun."
"Fun? You call that fun? Hiccup was right. This was a mistake." Kate turned to go, but Jack stopped her.
"Wait, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-"
"Jack, will you just save it for someone that cares? I'm sure Jasmine is looking for you. Hope you have a lot of fun Jack." She ripped her arm away, walking quickly.
Jack stared after her.
How dare she? She didn't have to snarl at him like that. He was just trying to be nice. Sure, maybe she hadn't liked all the crowds but he really thought that maybe if she loosened up a little she could actually enjoy herself.
So much for that. Whatever. If she wanted to remain the Snow Queen for the rest of high school, then she could rot with those dumb textbooks. What did he care?
His heart clenched when he thought that the only one he did care about was gone. But tomorrow, he would start the search to find her again. And nothing that Kate could do could mess it up.
Phew! My fingers hurt now. Oh well, review time!
Aid-chanz: haha thanks and I have no idea who that is...
gerardienea: He will react like nothing cuz she left when he told Anna that and oh you meant Anna...well, she's super excited!
Snowan(guest): haha, thank for that I think. Explanations are no trouble ^-^ and I hope you get IR and his friends to read my story, I love reviews! 50 of them now! I'm so happy! And security cameras are everywhere, feel no shame.
And where's the proof that you aren't a lunatic? Lol, I'm kinda hyper right now cuz it's late and I've been super busy since 7 in the morning with my event which I got back from today, a day earlier than I had thought so here I am! And yes, you should get a Fanfic. Again? What, did you get too many random PM's?
Going back a little, I'm crazy? What was your first clue?! Lol, I'm a writer, I have to have "an open mind, necessary but not mandatory for a little craziness". Anyways, you should try to write a story. It is really fun and if you don't think so then I'm sure I can get IR on my side even though I have no clue whatsoever who he is. Do you go to college in Florida? That must be fun.
But yeah, Anna and Kate are pretty oblivious. So is Jack but we knew that already. And, actually, Jack doesn't really like like Kate, he just likes her, as in, a friend. Remember that he's still hung up on Elsa (*cough cough* Kate) and may or may not have been in love with her and he's not quite ready to think of anyone else like that like that, if that makes any sense. And if not, oh well. Sense is overrated.
And YES I DID HAVE FUN AT MY EVENT!
Livia Toric: Lol how's this for drama?
StinnettHe: be happy. Be very happy. And I have to explain this to everyone. Burgess is like a very big city. Kate and Jack and Anna come from a part of it called Arendelle. Berk is another part of it, and Corona is the big part of it where BPAA is located. So hopefully that answers some confusion.
Shimmer Shine: Lol patience child;)
QueenOfMusicLeea: thank you I spend way too much time with those songs but glad to know it pays off! And I try but it's a little hard updating at 10 o'clock at night. I'm a teenager. I get distracted and I miss things. Don't judge, guys.
adrianazaba: if you remember, earlier on n the story (like the first chapter) Jack was talking about how he remembered the day Elsa changed; March 14, so that's why. And March 10th just worked cuz it did and that's when the crash actually happened. Two weeks after March 14th, Elsa left and, unknowingly to Jack, became Kate.
DragonIceFury: again, sorry for skipping you on my other story! If you refresh it I included you! But thanks for supporting both of y stories, I'm glad that you like them.
See you all next chapter!
Aaaand I'm gone.
