Hey guys. Sorry, it's been a week, I know. I've had a lot going on. Work looks to be less crazy since they hired someone else to help fill the shifts. College is okay, I just want my Psychology grade to be higher. There's been a whole lot going on. A group of kids I know got into a bad accident with their youth group coming home from a mission trip late last night. I'm just worried sick, I mean these are people I'm going to school with, and some are in critical condition. I know the youth pastor passed away, and I've just been a worried mess since I've heard. Sorry, you don't want to hear this depressing crap. I just hope they get better.

Erhm, other than my depressing RL issues, as our story is drawing closer and closer to the end (I'd say 3-5 chapters) I have been trying to think of other fanfiction possibilities as well as trying to better my writing style. So I've started outlining a bunch (which I normally just go where my mind takes me) and I think I've got some good ones lined up! I think outlining helps a lot and it's easier than I thought it would be. Of course, I just normally have one fanfiction going at a time but, idk. The ideas I have could entertain having two go at one time. But I think I'll write another Jelsa fanfiction (it won't have any relation to this one whatsoever) as well as other ones, so if you want to check it out then they should be up after this story ends.

Chapter 55 Elsa's POV

We lied there on the frozen lake, just watching the flickering lights in the sky. The Man in the Moon gazed down upon us, and I looked away. I didn't want to see him.

After what Jack had told me, that was all I could think about. I was a potential problem. A distraction. What was I supposed to think about that? Even after Jack had hastily reassured me that I would never be a problem, I still had my doubts.

Here we were, isolated away from the world. It almost seemed like it was just us. But it wasn't, and it never would be. I understood that and accepted it. However, Sandy knew about everything. I had already been a threat once. Would they see me as one now?

Then there was Jack telling me he loved me. I wasn't sure what to feel about it. He had just told me that the Man in the Moon thought there was a problem with him loving me more than the children, which interfered with his duty as a Guardian. What was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to just tell him I loved him and encourage him down that path when it was wrong? I couldn't do that. So what did I do then?

I turned my head to look at Jack's face. His eyes were closed and he had the slightest smile on his face. His dark eyelashes fluttered slightly and I turned away before he could see that I was staring at him.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing in particular," I lied, giving him a small smile.

"Surely you're thinking about something. You've got that look on your face. And you're biting your lip."

"I was just thinking about what happens next," I said vaguely.

"We have fun. Give out snow days, laugh, then spend nights like this."

I smiled despite how my thoughts on the future reciprocated his.

"I suppose."

"You suppose? What's that supposed to- Oh! Are you serious?"

"What?" I asked as he abruptly got up. He shook his head and sighed, pointing to the sky. I followed his gesture to see the Northern Lights painting their way through the starry darkness.

"What does that mean? Their just the Northern Lights," I said, confused.

"No, their basically a call for the Guardians. North wasn't kidding when he said that there would be more meetings."

"Is there anything wrong?" I asked, panic sinking in.

"Nah, probably not. It's most likely just to check up on everyone. Ever since, Pitch and everything. . . They just want to make sure that everything's okay. I'm kinda irritated that it couldn't wait until later, but oh well. Is it okay if I see you in a bit?"

Irritated? I tried not to take it as a sign.

"Yeah, sure thing," I said, trying to keep my voice light.

"Are you just going to hang around here? I won't be too long."

I opened my mouth to say yes, but instead I said, "Actually, I'm going to go see Lissa." I'm not sure where the thought came from, but it sounded like a good thing to do. I did promise to visit her.

"Oh, okay," he said, sounding surprised. "Hey, that's on my way. I can drop you there really quick. Or you could wait until I get back."

"I'll go right now," I told him. He nodded his head and held out his hand. I took it without hesitation and we left.

Everything was quiet except for the wind whistling in our ears. The colorful lights danced above us persistently. Then Arendelle was below us, but Jack didn't stop there. Instead, he continued to the ice castle. He landed me on the balcony without a word. He flashed me a grin, gave my hand a squeeze, and then flew away.

I felt the smile drop off my face as soon as he was out of sight. I sighed. I didn't know what to think anymore. I was tired of thinking.

I walked out onto the balcony, looking at the land below me. The air was still. It was as if the world was holding its breath, waiting for something. It felt like something was happening inside me. I was conflicted. I didn't know what to do about Jack. Should I just leave it and risk something happening?

Then there was that tiny, miniscule thought in the back of my head. I would never belong anywhere. I suppose that I might belong here by myself. Wasn't that where I belonged in my life as a human? Jack belonged with the Guardians, who belonged to the children. I could be jeopardizing his life, the Guardians', and the children's as well. It was a lose-lose situation anyway you looked at it.

The sun was starting to come out and as I watched it, a peaceful feeling swept over me. I had time to decide what to do. Today, I could visit Lissa.

I waited for her to come to the castle, the hours of the day ticking away. People filed in and out. I was curious to see if any of them would see me, but none of them did. Their eyes skimmed over me. I was invisible.

I enjoyed watching their reactions, hearing their comments, and just watching them in general. I would never get over watching people. They were interesting. I had spent most of my life in a castle, not being able to interact with anyone. My coronation ball had been my first interaction with a crowd of people since I had been younger.

And then I saw her.

"Lissa!" I called out to her. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened to say something, but I gestured for her to remain quiet. I didn't want people giving her weird looks; she deserved more respect than that. Instead, I gestured that we go downstairs, as everyone else had matriculated upstairs already.

"Elsa! You're finally back! I came back everyday hoping I would see you! I knew you'd visit, but I wasn't sure when. . . hey, where's Jack? What have you been up to? I just had to go back to school. I could really use a snow day. That was a hint, by the way."

I laughed. "Alright. I haven't been up to too much. I've mostly just been flitting here and there. How do you afford coming up here everyday? I noticed that there was a fee."

"Eh, my mom has connections. You should so take me with you wherever you go. I want to explore! See the world, you know? Where's Jack? I thought he would be here."

"He. . . he just had some business to take care of."

Lissa raised an eyebrow. "Sounds like some pretty serious business. Everything alright?"

"Yeah, I believe that everything's fine with the Guardians. I'm just a little worried and us, I suppose."

Lissa looked horrified. "Ohmygosh, is everything alright? You have to make it work! I ship you two! You cannot split up. You're, like, the dynamic duo! Ultimate partners!"

I mustered up a smile at her comments. "Some people don't think that."

"Well those people can just go screw themselves. They're idiots."

"It's not as simple as that. . . I could be getting in the way of his Guardian duties. As in, being a distraction."

Her eyebrows shot up into her forehead. "Are you serious? Okay, he or whoever thinks this, needs to learn that girlfriends come before work. I'm not saying, he quits, but he needs to be there for you."

"I don't think you understand. Jack's job is protecting children of the world, you know? The Man in the Moon told Jack, that he basically had to watch himself."

"Oh. Well, I suppose that is kinda bad. I'm still a little confused by the Man in the Moon concept, but I guess it's believable. Well you know, why doesn't he just come down and protect the children himself."

"It doesn't work like that, I guess."

"That's stupid. Listen, I may not be a love expert, but I have a lot of friends who are. AKA, magazines. You can make this work, but you need to talk it out. Until then, I would leave a little space, make sure he understands that it's an issue to him. Then he'll come and talk to you and you'll work it all out!"

"Are you sure?" I asked, doubt tinging my words.

"Of course I am!" Lissa exclaimed throwing her hands in the air. "It's one of the classic tricks. Pretty effective too, so I've heard anyway."

"I suppose I could leave some space," I said slowly. "I mean, that might make everything better. It'll at least give us some time to see what we do from here. I just hope Jack won't be upset."

"Don't play too hard to get. Guys get annoyed at that. Just give him your reasons and give him the cold shoulder. Haha, literally, cause you're cold, you know."

I smiled briefly at her attempt at humor.

"Well if that's all the advice you need, I say we go hang out at the park or something."

"Alright," I agreed.

I felt better after talking to Lissa about my problems with Jack. I had a feeling she was right, and if giving the situation space didn't work, I wasn't sure what would.


So, anyways.

What'd you think? Any thoughts how Elsa giving Jack space will play out? Leave me a review!

Thanks for reading guys :)
