Phil was trying to split up an argument between two violent elves when North came bursting in, Jack Frost in his arms. The elves dropped the butter knives they were holding as soon as they heard the big man come in. Phil took one look at the spirit and yelled at some other yeti to alert the other guardians.
"Phil!" North cried. Phil came up to him. "I need you to try and find as many books as you can about winter spirits!"
The yeti nodded and rushed in the direction of the library. North went the nearest sofa and placed Jack gently on it. The spirit shivered and coughed harshly.
"Oi! North!" Bunny said from the other end of the room, ""I've just 'ad a very angry yeti comin' an' sayin'-"
The pooka caught sight of Jack on the sofa. Tooth fluttered in and gave a little cry.
"What's wrong with him?!" she said and fluttered to the spirit's side.
"He is sick." North said. Sandy floated over, a worried expression on his face.
"Winter spirits can't get sick, can they?" Bunny said and sniffed Jack a little. Just as North was about reply, a yeti came bursting in with a old book in it's hands.
"Phil! Good work!" North cried and took the book. He flipped through it, then placed it on a nearby table.
"Yes...I thought so..."
"What?" Tooth asked.
"It looks like Jack has been over heated." North replied. Just then, the spirit started to cough uncontrollably, water leaking out of his mouth.
"What do we do?" Tooth cried.
"Cool him down!" North said and rubbed Jack's back in attempt to seize the coughing, "Get some snow!" Jack's coughing stopped, and he looked lifeless again. Tooth and Sandy came back with snow and packed it around the sofa.

Jack felt something cold get packed around him. Apart from that, he wasn't aware of anything else. He tried to open his eyes, but they seemed so heavy.
He was hot.
Really hot.

Bunny put his paw against Jack's forehead.
"Crikey!" he said, "he's burnin' up..."
North strode over and felt the spirit's head worriedly.
"Why is the snow not working?!" he muttered and looked down at Jack, who's lips were now tinged blue. Wait...was that a good sign or a bad one? He looked at Bunny and could tell he was thinking the same thing.
"I should check his breathing." North said and went to get his stereoscope. Bunny crouched down and sniffed the young immortal, hoping for some reaction; usually, Jack would giggle or at least twitch. But he did nothing.
"Come on, Jack..." he muttered. He hated to admit it, but he had got kind of attached to the spirit. Man, he thought, he wished there was someone to break the silence; Sandy and Tooth had to leave so they could do their jobs.
"Got it!" North shouted and placed the tool on his ears. He listened carefully to Jack's breathing. It was a couple of seconds before he said anything:
"It sounds like...he has some water in his lungs..." Bunny stared up at him.
"Makin' it harder for 'im to breathe." He finished. North nodded. Bunny lay his ears back and looked at the winter child once more.
