Mother Nature
Rating for this chapter: K+
Jack flew through the air to the one place he knew mother nature would be. But as he went his mind wandered to what Manny had told him.
"Jack Frost." a kind voice called out.
Jack turned around to see the moon shining into the room. He walked over to the window that the light was shining through.
"Jack, I… I am truly sorry for leaving you alone for so long. I never expect for you to ever forgive me. But right now I need to tell you something very important." Manny sorrowfully explained.
Jack didn't say a word. Not because he was mad. It was because he was so shocked at the moment to say anything.
"You, my dear Jack, are one of the few most powerful spirits of this world. And there is a very special reason for this. That reason is love. Not romantic love, but love for others around you. Yes, you are the guardian of fun at heart but you are also the guardian of joy. And that Jack is very special because I have never seen any of my seasonal spirits bring as much joy as you. But I have given you something very dangerous. And that is-"
Jack's thoughts were abruptly stopped by a harsh change in temperature in the air.
He saw that he was on the line of mother nature's home, and just on the other side of the sea between them, was father winter's home.
Jack sighed and made a 1-80 heading to his boss's home.

He arrived about a half an hour later, the snowy air rushing around Jack welcomingly as he got closer to the winter-palace that was similar to Tooth's palace but about ten times bigger and about a hundred times colder.
He stepped into the palace through one of the glassless-windows. Jack saw some interesting things in this place through the years but… the way the place was now… it was kinda scaring him.
The palaces usually lively and active atmosphere was now a cold, dark and lifeless. Jack flew through the palace to the throne room.
Jack saw father winter sitting on his throne. He was slouched overhead in his hands. He was the only one in the room.
Jack soundlessly made his way over to his boss. When Jack was in front of the throne, father winter sighed.
"Well, well, long time no see Jack." father winter sat up.
"Well um… yeah… I heard something sketchy's going on… so I came here to see what was happening."
Father winter sighed wearily.
"Yes, mother nature is wanting summer to go even longer this year… and she is very much willing to fight for it."
Jack looked shocked. "What? Why?"
"She said something about lots of death comes from winter. But I think there is something more to it."
Jack nodded, he looked up at the tall elderly man. "Winter, where is everyone?"
"She took them…" father winter's voice grew angry. "She… she is working for the boogieman! I just know it!"
Jack stood in shock, eyes wide and full of fear.
"Good tell your friends or whatever they are to you and tell them!..." his voice grew soft. "I need their help…"
Jack looked sad at the man. "I will."
Jack then left the ice palace into the cold evening air, the sun setting in the distance.

Jack arrived at the pole the next morning. it was very early, three in the morning early. Jack had flown all the way back without stopping, to tell the others the news. but right now, half. of them were asleep and the others were working. So Jack lead down on one of the couches in a living room and went to sleep himself.

Hours later Jack woke to chatter. He found that a thin blanket was draped over him, 'North.' The tight made him smile a little.
He got up and left the room, the others already sitting around the table discussing the situation.
"First we need to find out if it really is a- Oh good morning Jack." North greeted.
"Nice ta see ya here frostbite."
"Morning sweet Tooth, did you sleep well?"
Sandy made gave thumbs up then a question mark.
"Hey guys, and yeah I slept okay," Jack replied, strolling over to a seat.
"So did you find out what is happening with mother nature?" North asked.
"Yeah…" Jack paused. "Mother nature has kidnapped most of father winter's underlings, and apparently… she's working with pitch."
