It was twelve years after he was born and Jack was flying over Japan spreading snow and laughing when something knocked his precarious hold on the wind loose and sent him tumbling down into the field.

"New record, alright!" said Jack, laughing. "Okay wind, maybe flying across that ocean without stopping was pushing it, you're right."

"Who are you?" asked a female voice. "And why aren't you dead?"

Jack looked around until he saw a woman standing a bit away dressed all in white. It was a white sundress that flowed into white limbs that made the garment seem like it went on longer than it actually did. Long black hair seemed to circle around without the wind. The wind didn't actually seem to care for the woman which was strange for Jack, he had never seen the wind act like that before. In all, Jack had never seen a more beautiful yet terrifying woman.

"I asked you a question, mortal," repeated the woman.

Her voice sounded like a mixture of accents, emotions, and meanings more than sentences.

"You can see me?" said Jack, getting to his feet in awe.

"What do you mean? How daft are you, of course I can see you. Now let's try this again. Who are you and why aren't you dead?"

"Why would I be dead?" asked Jack, starting to dislike the beauty in front of him.

"Because it's winter and I touched you. Everything I touch freezes."

"Well, I'm already so cool, so that would probably explain it," said Jack, smirking and leaning casually against his staff.

"What?"

"So who are you?"

"I'm Yuki-onna, the Spirit of Freezes," declared the woman as if she were declaring herself queen of the world. "And who are you?"

"I'm Jack Frost, Spirit of Winter," said Jack. "So technically, I outrank you."

Yuki-onna eyed Jack with a critical look. He was almost as tall as her, a bit on the scrawny side, but had a twinkle in his eye that she liked. His face was impish and full of life which was rare in her frozen world. She wanted him and she always got what she wanted.

"Well, Jack of Winter, you are a handsome fellow, aren't you?" Yuki-onna turned her voice flirtatious and light, the tone that she used to entrance men into following her into a storm to get lost. "Where do you hail from?"

"I prefer boyishly cute," said Jack. "But I um, hail from..um…well, all over. I like to travel."

With an easy grin, Jack began to meander across the landscape. Yuki-onna had no choice but to follow or let her prize escape.

"So, Yuki-onna, that's an interesting name," said Jack as he strolled. "Can I just call you Yuki or Onna or how about Victoria? Oh, I like that name."

"You can call me whatever you want, handsome," said Yuki-onna sweetly, her icy hand caressing his cheek.

"No, I'm Jack, not handsome. So, Yuki, I suppose that suits you, anyway Yuki, it's been fun and all, talking to someone, but I have things to do, places to freeze, that sort of thing, so this'll be goodbye."

"You can't leave me," said Yuki, trying to freeze Jack's feet to the ground. "You're supposed to stay. I want you to stay. I want you to be mine forever."

"That's a bit creepy," said Jack, ignoring the ice that only tickled his feet. "But really, I just met you, so no. But thanks for the offer!"

With that, Jack took to the sky, the wind happy to take him away from the lady that was too cold inside and out. Yuki glared at the quickly disappearing form, the ground around her turning into pure ice, her beautiful face transforming into an ugly sneer.

"You will be mine, Jack Frost, Spirit of Winter," whispered Yuki into the empty air for event he wind had left her. "Just wait, because I will follow you until the end of time before I see you with someone else. We were meant to be, Winter and Ice, we are perfect and I will show you."

-Break-

"And that's why Yuki has been following me for the past 300ish years," concluded Jack at the Guardian meeting.

"Now wait just a minute," said Bunny. "You honestly expect us to believe that some crazy female has been following you for almost 300 years because she thinks you're handsome?"

"Your lack of faith wounds me, Bunny," said Jack, his hand going to his heart in mock hurt. "Or are you saying that you don't find me handsome? Because hey, if I'm not your type you just have to say so, you don't have to be mean about it."

"What?" screamed Yuki, popping out from behind a curtain. "Jack, are you cheating on me?"

Jack worked to keep his face strait as the others jumped in shock. After centuries of dealing with Yuki's stalking, Jack was never shocked when she turned up where he was. However he spotted an opportunity to get rid of his "girlfriend" for good and have a bit of fun while doing it, so he decided to jump on it.

"Baby, don't you love me?" said Jack, taking a step towards the beauty, silently begging to other Guardians to remain silent.

"Of course I do," said Yuki.

"And don't you want me to be happy?"

"That's all I've ever wanted."

"Then you have to let me go. I'm sorry, Yuki, but I've found someone who makes me happy, challenges me to be better, and completes me, not just enhances my element."

"Who?" said Yuki, tears forming in her eyes. "Who could possibly be better suited for you than me?"

"I'd like you to meet my other half, E. Aster Bunnymund," said Jack, letting the wind bring him over to the oversized rabbit who was too shocked to protest.

"You're dating the Easter Bunny?" said Yuki, her voice as icy as her powers.

"Just go with it," whispered Jack to Bunny before raising his voice for his stalker to hear. "No, I'm not dating him, that would be weird since we're different ages and you know, he's a kangaroo and I'm not…but he completes me all the same. I'm sorry it didn't work out between us, Yuki, but I hear there's a wickedly tall and handsome ice spirit in Mongolia. You should check him out."

"This is the last time you will ever see me, Jack Frost," hissed Yuki. "I'd promise revenge but I think a worse punishment would be to let you live a long and lonely life without love or companionship. You were born alone and you will always be alone. Fare thee poorly, Jack of Winter, the forever frozen boychild."

"And may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your intimate places and may your arms be too short to scratch," replied Jack with a snarky smirk.

In a flurry of mist and ice, Yuki-onna left the pole. Jack sighed, patted Bunny on the head, and went back to his own chair and put his head in his hands.

"Jack, are you okay?" asked Tooth, breaking away from her hoard of fairies for a moment.

"What?" said Jack, his head shooting back up. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry about that, Bunny, she would have attacked Tooth if I'd used her. This was the only way to get rid of her for good."

Bunny nodded his understanding but kept his eyes trained on the young spirits face. There was something off with the Guardian of Fun but Bunny could not quite name it. Jack didn't seem sad that Yuki-onna was gone and he wasn't upset that he had lied to her. It was something else.

"Well, I'm off to bed," declared North, pushing back from the table. "You all are welcome to stay if you wish, You know where the beds are."

"Sandy and I should actually be going," said Tooth already fluttering towards the door. "But thank you North. See you all next meeting!"

Jack flew to the rafters and Bunny settled down by the fire, painting an egg absently. They didn't say anything, just sat in a comfortable silence, not the empty silence Jack had known for years.

Jack had tried to like Yuki-onna, really he had, but there was something about her that he just could not ignore. Where Jack was snowballs and fun times Yuki was frozen limbs and death. She killed because she could and she tricked people because she liked to watch them suffer. Jack went out of his way to avoid harming humans and only played harmless tricks. And yet Yuki, for centuries, had what Jack desired; people could see her. Only people in certain regions of the world could see her, but she was seen all the same while Jack was walked through. Over the years they talked many times-normally when Jack was getting desperate to be believe in or have someone notice him-but he always left the conversation hating the woman more. Jack was the Spirit of Winter but she was frozen to the core in a way he would never be and a way that drove him out.

He didn't notice when Bunny had left for the spare room to sleep but when he looked down Jack spotted the empty armchair and abandoned egg and paintbrush on the side table next to it. Jack managed to grapple with his curiosity for a full half minute before curiosity won and sent him down to get a better look at the egg. It wasn't one of Bunny's normal eggs with legs but one of North's eggs used for cooking. It had been hollowed and dried and Bunny had painted it-probably out of habit-in a light blue. Over the blue background was a scene of him, a perfect minerature version of Jack Frost complete with wild hair and frost patterned hoodie, racing the Pooka while Sandy laughed, North cheered, and Tooth monitored the finish line. Underneath it was the words painted in a flowing script that took Jack a minute to understand. But when he got it he smiled, pocketed the egg, and flew back to the rafters to sleep.

The egg, cradled in his hand in the pocket of his jacket, read When the world says 'Give up' hope whispers 'Try one more time.'

*So next I think I shall finish the "Alone Now" arc but I wanted to get in this request first. It started out and I was going to make it romantic, but then...I remembered how awful I am at romance and it was more amusing to have Jack with a stalker girlfriend instead of a real girlfriend. I don't know, maybe I'm the only one who found that fun...

So as always, requests are welcome (I do them in the order they are asked in but I do write every one).

I hope you enjoyed this story. Until next time-Ari
