Alright, on with the story!

"Rise and shine, Elsa," a happy voice exclaimed as someone suddenly jabbed the sleeping queen. Elsa's blue eyes flew open as she sat up, looking around the room in a panic until her gaze settled on the smiling face of Anna. The princess laughed at the queen's reaction before sitting on the plush bed, causing it to sink slightly. She leaned back until the edges of her braids brushed against the older sister's face before saying, "You need to get ready for the day because we have some super important stuff to do and I will not let you sleep in today."

Elsa chuckled and brushed some of her platinum blonde hair away from her face, yawning as her heart settled from its fright. "What is this super important stuff you need help with?" she asked, flicking her sister's braids away from her face playfully. Although the queen knew her younger sister would never admit to it, Anna would always look for one reason or another to go outside the gates with Elsa. Despite knowing her sibling's plan, the young monarch always seemed to find herself enjoying the special outings. "And why did you need to wake me up so early?" Elsa demanded softly, stretching her lithe limbs.

A confused look fell upon Anna's sweet face as she tilted her head to the side. Although Elsa was certain there hadn't been any confusing part to her questions, she couldn't help but wonder if she had said something wrong. "Elsa," the princess began slowly, her eyebrows crinkling together in her blatant confusion, "it is almost eleven in the morning. I told them to let you sleep in because I knew you were spending time with Jack, but…" Fear pierced the queen's heart as she realized how late she must have stayed out, and the terror only grew as she wondered what the people of Arendelle would think about her time with the spirit.

Feeling a strong wave of vertigo wash over her, the queen temporarily excused herself from the room and rushed to her private bathroom. Her face felt as though it was on fire and Elsa splashed cold water against her heated skin until she felt somewhat better. Water continued rushing from the sink, with the queen too anxious to turn the flowing stream of cold liquid off. By the time she felt confident enough to face her sister again, the water that had splashed into her hairline had completely dried and almost all color had been seeped from the queen's face. "What do you want me to do with you?" Elsa asked in a rough voice, trying to distract herself.

Seeming to sense her older sister's discomfort, Anna sweetly replied, "Well, they say the bride should start shopping for her wedding dress several months ahead of time. And I think we all know that you have amazing taste in fashion." A mischievous spark glittered in the princess's blue eyes as they floated over the queen's crumpled clothes from her time with Jack. Heat once again rushed to the queen's face as she remembered her time with the winter spirit, suddenly noticing his strange absence. "Are you feeling okay, Elsa?" the princess asked hesitantly.

Giving the room a final desperate look for the spirit, Elsa nodded and replied, "I'm fine. Let's go find your perfect wedding dress."

"What do you mean it won't go away?" Jack demanded furiously, feeling himself float several feet into the air until he was even with the Russian man. His azure eyes flared in rage as his face heated up with the anger he felt at the news given to him by the older Guardian. Although logic tried to reason from a deep part of the spirit's mind, his negative emotions won out as he tried to figure out what North had meant by his cryptic statement. A sudden realization filled him, bringing him down several feet as he asked in a softer tone, "Does that mean that the mark on Elsa will never go away either?"

North nodded his head gently, placing his hand on the young Guardian's shoulder comfortingly. "Yes, I'm afraid the marks will never go away for either of you. But," the older male said with a slightly happier lilt in his voice, "you still do not know what those symbols mean for you and your little queen." His blue eyes sparkled delightedly and a glimmer of hope filled the winter spirit's soul as he drifted back up to North's height. His heart hammered against his chest as he waited for the other Guardian to say more about those mysterious marks, praying that they meant something good.

Silence pressed on, North's smile filling with mischievous delight as he watched the young spirit grow fidgety with anticipation. Before long, Jack decided he could not stand the silence and loudly burst out, "For goodness sakes, will you tell me what these marks mean for me and Elsa?" Although he seemed somewhat shocked at the sudden outburst, the winter spirit made no move to apologize or withdraw his words. The air trembled as his nerves stood on end, waiting for some sign that there would be hope for him and the beautiful young queen. His mind went fuzzy as he thought about her soundly sleeping on the soft bed, knowing that she had probably woken up during his time at the Pole.

Chuckling, North grabbed Jack's hand again and examined the mark before happily saying, "This is Manny's way of saying that you and the queen are soul mates. He must have seen the love you have for this woman and felt sympathy towards you." Each word passing through the Guardian's mouth made Jack's joyous smile grow brighter, knowing that there would be a chance for him and Elsa to be together. "And now that you have the marks, it is highly unlikely that you two will get any more shocks when you touch," North explained casually, releasing Jack's hand before turning to gaze out the window, where the moon shined brightly.

Not wanting to let the fantastic news go to waste, Jack politely excused himself from the Pole and began his flight back to Arendelle. Despite trying to remain focused on where he was and what was in front of him, the spirit found his mind constantly pulled back to Elsa. Before long, however, he had simply allowed his mind to remain on the magical queen and the knowledge that his love no longer had to go to waste. However, the spirit was so lost in his blissful thoughts that he had not noticed the black sand snaking around his ankle until he had been ripped from the sky.

Ooh, black sand! A visit from our favorite villain. (At least it isn't Hans... *shudders*) And I think I might have a contest for what Anna's wedding dress will look like... Yep, I'm gonna set up a poll on my profile before the next chapter is up! So be sure to check in every now and then to see if you can vote yet! :)
