Epilogue 2: I Love You (Jack's POV) (Re-Uploaded)

Okay, okay, I shouldn't have done it, but come on! An opportunity like that just doesn't get handed to you on a silver platter everyday. For once in her life, Elsa actually bent over to make a snowball instead of using her powers and I just couldn't resist! I aimed my own snowball and launched it.

"Jackson Overland Frost!" She yelled. Yep, it was still worth it. The group of kids who were playing with us stopped and stared. Their eyes were as big as the moon and multiple 'Ooo's were heard as Elsa used her magic to create an army of snowballs that attacked me immediately. I lost my balance, falling to the snow covered ground below and the kids restarted the fight.

We had traveled the world together. Alright, so not the entire world - it's only been a month, after all - but some of the highlights like Paris and New York. Elsa seemed to really enjoy herself whether we were in a big, famous city or a small town that no one's heard of. In fact, I think she prefers the towns where there's more room to play and enjoy the kids.

She left the fight and started walking in the direction of a little girl who was sitting by herself on her front porch steps. I kept the snowball fight going. She's done this a lot over the past month, coaxing loner kids to play with a group and make friends. She did it well, too. When I glanced at her again, she waved her hand as the girl started to roll a ball of snow on the ground. They were building a snowman, something else that had become typical of her - but not it a bad way! Despite my earlier teasing about her making ice sculptures for everyone, building snowmen had become her signature technique for getting shy kids to come out of their shells. The ice sculptures were more like little gifts she would leave if there was a particularly lonely child. Miniature sculptures, of course.

"Will!" I called to a boy with brown hair and eyes. "Think fast!" My snowball hit the side of his head as he was turning. He laughed and I was back in the game of throwing snowballs, dodging snowballs, and making more ammo.

"Hey, Alyss!" George called. Elsa and the little girl - whom I assumed to be Alyss - turned away from their completed snowman. "Come play with us!"

After some encouragement from Elsa, Alyss ran over and joined the others. I walked over to stand by Elsa's side as we watched them play.

"Not bad," I said with satisfaction. Her hand took mine.

"Not bad yourself."

"Are you ready?" I asked. A month had passed and, during our time in Paris, I had promised Elsa that we wold return to her Ice Castle once a month to take a short break and see Marshmallow and Olaf if he was there.

"Yes," she said. "Lets go."

The kids were sad to hear that we were leaving, but we promised to visit as soon as possible and they seemed content with that. Elsa formed her snowflake and we took off into the sky. At first, I was a little reluctant to get her fly on her own merely for my own pleasure of surprising her at every location. But it didn't take much on her part to convince me not to carry her everywhere. I loved having her in my arms, but after a while, my muscles started to cramp and get tired.

By the time we landed on the balcony of her Ice Castle, it was late and the moon had replaced the sun in the sky. Nothing had been changed while we were gone, but we hadn't expected anything to change. Marshmallow was content to remain as a snow covered boulder until needed and, last I checked, Olaf was having the time of his life playing with the toys at the North Pole.

Elsa walked into her bedroom, flopping down onto her bed. I followed her, leaning against my staff in the doorway.

"Happy to be home?"

She rolled over on her side and looked at me, propping herself up on an elbow. "It's nice to be home."

"Did you have fun?" Maybe she hadn't enjoyed herself as much as I thought? Perhaps my eyes had played tricks on me and I only saw what I wanted to see?

"The most fun I've had since ... well ... since Anna and I were kids. I loved it, seeing the kids and playing with them, making them happy. Definitely the time of my life."

Relief flowed through me. Good. I was probably looking too much into her statement about being home. I sat next to her on the bed. "So it's something you'd do again with me?" Just to be sure.

Her eyes widened as she sat up. "Of course! It's something that I would do for the rest of my life with you. You're so good with the kids and making them laugh and have fun. I can't imagine -"

"I love you, Elsa."

As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I wanted to smack myself. You can't just blurt out something like that, Jack! And she wasn't saying anything. Why wasn't she saying anything? Her vivid blue eyes stared into mine as her mouth remained open with her unfinished sentence. Panic seeped in. She doesn't feel the same way. That's why she wasn't saying anything. I looked down, disappointment and pain trickling through the panic and shock.

After spending a month with her, I was beyond sure that what I felt was love. She was amazing. Beautiful, kind, smart, loving, brave, and, of course, stubborn. Maybe she only saw me as a dear friend after a month? Or a brother, perhaps? I wasn't sure if I could handle that, but I would try.

Her hand cupped my cheek, forcing me to look into those expressive blue eyes again. "I love you too, Jack."

Just like that, all my doubts and fears washed away and a wide smile forced its way onto my face. She loved me! My emotions go the best of me and I connected our lips. I felt Elsa smile and wrap her arms around my neck as I did the same around her waist, pulling each other closer. Vaguely, I was aware of the moon shining brightly in approval through the ice.

Neither of us would ever be alone again. We would always have each other. Elsa had conquered her fears and now fully embraced her powers, allowing her to love - not only others - but herself as well.

My name is Jack Frost, and I'm in love with the Snow Queen.

That's all folks! The Snow Queen is officially done!
