SATURDAY.
Jack woke up with an unpleasant feeling in his chest. Growling, he got out of his bed and stumbled towards the mirror in the closet. Taking off his hoodie, he noticed that the unpleasant feeling was a bruise in his chest, courtesy of the soccer ball from yesterday. Sighting, he got back to his bed, intending on going back to sleep, until someone slammed his door open.
"Good morning, Jack!" North said.
"North, it's Saturday" Jack said, covering his face with a pillow.
"Yes and? It's our last human day. Ve should do something together!" North beamed. What he said took Jack a bit by surprise… mixed with a bit of disappointment, too.
"I forgot that today we go back to normal" he admitted as sat on his bed. North, sensing something wrong with Jack, took a seat beside him.
"What's wrong my boy?" he asked softly.
"It's just… this is going to come out a bit weird… but, I'm going to miss the human thing… don't get me wrong, I LOVE being Jack Frost… but as a human I could be seen and heard, hang out with people… feel like an actual teenager" Jack said. North looked thoughtful.
"Is it wrong?" Jack asked.
"Not all… In fact, I think maybe that's the reason vhy Manny made you human" North said looking at Jack with a smile.
"What?" Jack asked confused. North chuckled.
"Vell, you already know how to deal with children" North made a pause as Jack slowly nodded.
"Vell, at first I thought; 'Vhy Manny vould turn Jack too? Maybe he vants him to be our guide'. But in the last few days I have realized that maybe, it was to give you a chance to feel, as you said it, as an actual teenager" he finished saying.
"He gave me a chance to live my life as if the incident with my sister never happened" Jack whispered in realization.
"In another time, but yes" North said. Jack smiled and hugged him.
"Vy the way, vhat happened to your chest?" North asked as he looked at the bruise, concerned.
"The soccer ball from yesterday" Jack replied. He looked at North.
"Did you ask Manny about the 'Heating suspicion'?" he asked. North frowned.
"I tried, Jack, but… Sandy's right: it's been too cloudy. I didn't manage to get a hold of Man in Moon" he replied.
"I've got a bad feeling about this" Jack thought.
"Let's just hope it's nothing serious, all right? I told you, Amelia likes to mess with people" he said as he got up, grabbed his hoodie and walked out of the room to go downstairs, intending on having breakfast. He found Bunny, Sandy and Tooth talking about what they have been missing while being human.
"Quite honestly, I miss my wings and the fairies" Tooth admitted. She was the only one who wasn't wearing any pajamas.
"I miss my dream sand" Sandy signaled.
"I don't blame you mate. I personally miss my ability to travel in holes. And the Warren. And the-" Bunny started to say until he was cut by Jack.
"Ears, Kangaroo?" Jack said smirking. Bunny growled in annoyance.
"Morning to you too" Jack said as he took a seat.
"Hi Ja- Why you are not wearing a shirt and what happen to your chest?!" Tooth had started to say until she noticed Jack's new fashion statement.
"Soccer" was all he said while putting on his hoodie. North soon joined them in the kitchen as he sang a song in Russian.
"Say, Frostbite, what have you been missing?" Bunny asked.
"A good snowball fight, my staff in its usual size, the frost patterns on my hoodie, oh, and being around barefoot. Honestly, shoes were designed to torture" Jack said as the rest laughed. Tooth´s laugh, however, sounded a bit dry.
"You okay?" Jack asked.
"Um… no" she said looking down at the table.
"Why?" Bunny asked. Tooth looked at them.
"It's just… I was thinking that maybe… we should tell Rosi and Amanda the truth about us" she finally spat out. Silence reigned in the kitchen for a while as everyone took the information in.
"Do it" Jack said, finally breaking the silence. He was meet by crazy looks from the others.
"Are you sure, mate? Not that I have anything against it, it's just that… they are teenagers. They don't usually believe in us anymore" Bunny said.
"Yeah, but you never know… they seem trustworthy. Plus… I'm pretty sure they are going to believe us" Jack said.
"Jack's right. I can see wonder and imagination in those two. They are still child's at heart" North said. Sandy nodded in agreement.
"So… I suppose since I was the one who brought this up, I'm going to be the one to tell them" Tooth said.
"Is that a question or a statement?" Bunny asked. Before Tooth could answer, she glanced at the clock in the kitchen. 9:50.
"Oh, I better get going" Tooth said.
"Good luck" Jack said. She smiled, grabbed a purse and left.
