Chapter 12: Here's another chapter as promised :) enjoy!

Elsa left Jack's vivacious household three hours later. Having explained all that Elsa needs to know about guardianship, be it children protection and distributing winter along with Jack. She was pleased that she could finally channel her powers to do good, yet she was afraid she would mess things up. Jack assured her that once training resumed, her powers would flourish. She decided to trust him, after all he was her only best friend, shared her same powers and she was also growing to love Jack, even though she didn't want to admit it to herself.

She left Jack's house hurriedly. Kai would be waiting for her, so she refused to stay for lunch even though North had forced her to stay. Jack accompanied her outside. "I'm sorry." He said sheepishly, glancing at his worn out converses.

"Hey Jack, its ok." Elsa smiled, forcing Jack to look at her. His eyes searched her face, as if he was looking for answers and sighed. "I know it is not OK," he said, biting his lip. "I know you're worried about this whole guardianship…I warned you Els! If you only listened to me you wouldn't have been dragged into this…" he said, rushing a hand through his hair absently, worry visible in his stormy blue eyes.

"Hey, Jack I actually wanted to do this." She said, grabbing his hand tightly, Jack noticed determination spreading across her eyes, she toyed with her new broach pinned on her shirt. "Why?" Jack asked, his voice wavering.

"It is my path…there is a reason for my powers Jack! Finally this might be my true purpose in life!" She grinned, "And what's more, I get to enjoy your company!" she said blushing furiously. She turned, grabbed her bike and raced out of the driveway and into the street, leaving an openmouthed Jack staring at her looming figure. Jack glanced at his watch, a smile playing on his lips. "Had she really meant it? He thought. He was almost certain he would find out that night.

-Line break-

Elsa rushed inside her house and Kai greeted her. "Elsa, dear how was your day."

"Good, Kai." She smiled. "Do you need any help?" she asked.

"Nope, dear…you could help Anna set the table though, lunch is soon served," he winked and rushed back into the kitchen.

Elsa followed him, heart in her mouth. Sure enough her sister was there, setting up the table. She didn't look to good, Elsa noted. Her hair was not in braids, it hung loosely in a mess across her shoulders and dark circles under her green eyes indicated she didn't acquire much sleep.

When Elsa walked in, she glared at her. Elsa swallowed. For the last week, Anna had been going out with Hans every single day. It was unlike Anna to abandon her sister, however she had decided that she couldn't keep pleasing her sister and believed Hans could be the answer. Elsa on the other hand hated her sister's relationship with Hans. For some odd reason, she detested him even more as her mind kept linking the Hans in Jack's story with Anna's new boyfriend, even though they were most probably not the same person.

"Hello Anna." Elsa tried. Anna grunted in response. The rest of the meal was quiet. Kai glanced at Elsa worriedly as Anna excused herself and said she would be out on a date and had to go get her beauty sleep. "Ever since she's been going out with that horrible red-head, Anna's changed." Kai commented, whilst taking a sip of water to wash down the lasagna.

"I know…" Elsa said, glancing at her uncle.

"I tried speaking to her, however she refuses to speak to anyone. You must find a way to bring her back." Kai pleaded.

"I'll try my best." Elsa said, nodding. "By the way, Kai. I was wondering if I could go out tonight, with a friend of mine at around seven." She whispered, crossing her fingers under the table, hoping her uncle won't ask for details.

"Sure dear, you deserve it. Have you made friends?" he asked while starting to collect the empty dishes.

"Yep." Elsa said, getting up promptly to help her uncle. "The thing is…um…it's a special event and I was wondering whether I could go shopping for a dress." She whispered.

"Hmmm, with who are you going tonight? Is it a date?" he eyed Elsa carefully and she tried her best not to blush in response.

"Kind of…I mean…" she mumbled, frantically trying to save the situation. Kai laughed at her and patted her arm gently. "I trust you know what you're doing. Elsa be careful and enjoy it." He took out his wallet and handed over some money and stuffed them into her clasped hand.

I wasn't going to ask you for money, Kai…just for permission." She whispered.

"You deserve them dear, now scram, go find a dress!" he said, shooing Elsa away and out of the house. Elsa couldn't help but grin. She took out her phone and punched Rapunzel's number on the screen. In a few moments, Punzie answered and they decided to meet in the nearest shopping mall in town. Elsa took the bus and in a matter of minutes arrived at her destination, only to be trampled upon by not only Punzie but also Merida, who had decided to join the duo.

"Elsa!" Punzie screeched. "Since when do you want to go shopping?"

"Since today." Elsa grinned.

Merida glanced at her friend, "Spill please!" she suggested, grinning broadly.

"Well, I kind of got a date tonight…with Jack." She mumbled, awaiting their reaction. It wasn't long before they showered her with questions until Elsa screeched for their attention. "We've been here for thirty minutes already! Can we please find me a dress?" she wailed.

"Yes sure," both Punzie and Merida exclaimed in unison, grabbing Elsa and dragging her to their favourite store. Punzie and Merida forced Elsa to try on every single dress present in the store. Finally Elsa settled on an empire waist line dress. It was blue and at the waist line had an intricate silver belt. It had a heart shaped neckline and both girls exclaimed she looked stunning. Punzie found Elsa silver heels to go with the outfit. Elsa paid for the dress and walked out of the store feeling accomplished. The girls huddled together in a nearby café and continued planning Elsa's night out. They decided that Elsa should braid her hair and they made her promise she would message them after the date.

When Elsa finally made it back home it was already five. She rushed inside, had a quick shower and put on her dress. She put on some grey eyeliner to enhance her cerulean eyes and put on some mascara. She decided against too much blush and she applied some lip gloss swiftly. Kai knocked on the door. "Elsa dear are you ready yet? There's someone at the door waiting for you." He grinned as Elsa walked out, already blushing. Jack was punctual she thought, smiling. Kai hugged Elsa, "You look like your mother, she would've been so proud of you." He whispered, hugging her closer. Tears threatened to leak out of Elsa tear ducts however she managed to swallow the pain and move downstairs.

She opened the door to find a Jack standing, he was wearing a grey suit and to Elsa he looked very handsome. He gaped when she exited, he bowed down and took her hand. "I got us a cab," he waved proudly. "I'll get to borrow North's car next week," he winked.

"A* for effort Jack," Elsa said, poking him gently in the ribs. He laughed, took her hand and led her to the cab, he opened the door for her and she climbed in. He showed the taxi driver a map and the driver nodded. They soon left and rode to a nearby park, there situated amidst tall trees was an elegant restaurant with a stunning view of the lake.

"Jack, are you serious?" Elsa muttered as they were walking together towards the restaurant.

"Hey…I tried my best," he winked, casually opening the door and they were guided to a reserved table by the lake immediately. Elsa sat down glancing at Jack, they were handed the menus and she did not know what to choose. She knew Jack would insist of paying, thus she didn't want to be a burden. Jack watched her. "I'm taking a steak," he stated. "Elsa, what are you getting?"

"I think…I'm getting a starter…I'm not that hungry." She mumbled. Jack didn't argue as Elsa thought he would. The waiter soon came to their table. Jack didn't let Elsa mutter a word. "Two steaks please. I'd like mine medium rare, and yours?" he smirked at Elsa.

"Same," she muttered, glaring at Jack.

The waiter politely took their order and served them a drink and was soon off with the orders. The night went along well. Elsa and Jack spoke about everything, from their hobbies, to their troubled past and their friendship.

"Did you really mean what you said earlier, about becoming a guardian and enjoying my company?" Jack asked, sipping water to busy himself after the meal. Elsa blushed and Jack smiled. "Well, obviously, would I be here now?" Elsa teased, sticking her tongue out at him. Jack laughed and before he could say anything else, a surprise dessert, he had ordered previously arrived in front of Elsa. It was a warm chocolate fondant with a scoop of mint and chocolate chip ice cream, Elsa's absolute favourite. She smiled at him as they scooped the seeping melted chocolate. "Yum, how did you know my all-time favourites?"

"I guessed," Jack exclaimed. "I know you too well," he winked.

Elsa and Jack shared a laugh and the waiter came towards them with the bill. Elsa grabbed it and rushed to pay. She glanced at the bill. It was very expensive. Jack quickly took it from her and walked to the waiter to pay for both of them and dragged a protesting Elsa out of the restaurant. He managed to stop her protesting by giving in to her protests that she would pay the following time. He led her to the lake and they sat down watching the moon reflecting in the lake. An awkward silence settled between them as they were both very close to each other. Elsa started to form snowflakes in her hand, gently tossing them upwards in the night sky and then they cascaded down on them, all a product of her nervousness. Suddenly Jack put an arm around Elsa. She shivered and he pulled her closer to his chest. Elsa breathed in his warm scent and snuggled closer. He suddenly caught her eyes, she pulled him closer and their lips connected. It was a soft connection which sent sparks racing inside both of them. In the dark, a shower of snowflakes erupted and started cascading down on the couple. Elsa had never felt this way before and neither had Jack. The night was magical and Elsa hoped that their where more to come now that any doubts she previously had, faded completely into nothingness.
