Rapunzel let out a sigh as her mother disappeared into the distance, going out into the wide world to gather a few things. Rapunzel turned her attention to the night sky as the first twinkling star popped up near the full moon.
"I wish I could have a friend." A little squeak caught her attention. She laughed, "Yes, Pascal, you count as a friend, but, I want to see someone else, not just you and Mother." The lizard nodded, as if in understanding. "Come on, let's get a few candles set up and some cleaning done while we wait for the stars to come out." Rapunzel quickly cleaned up by candlelight before blowing out the candles and returning to the window. The stars were popping out, one by one, twinkling against the night sky. Rapunzel had a pad and paint supplies with her, and she began to chart the stars. Her eyes began to widen when she noticed stars falling and landing on her page. "Snowflakes?" she wondered as she touched the spot where a water spot appeared.
"Well, it's not the stars, that's for sure," stated a voice. Rapunzel gave a shriek as a face appeared in her window, and she whacked him with her pad. "Ow! What? Was there a bug on my face or something?"
"Wh-who are you? How did you get up here? Wait, you can fly?" Rapunzel gasped as the boy floated to the floor.
He stared at her, "You, you can see me?" She nodded. "You, you can hear me?"
"Um, yes . . ." He surprised her with a whoop.
"No one's ever seen me before!"
"What?"
"I bring winter. I'm Jack Frost." She blinked with confusion. "Wait, haven't you heard about me?"
"Um, no, I've never heard that name before."
"But, you can see me, right?"
"Uh, yes. Why? Are you saying I shouldn't be able to see you?"
"Not unless you believed in me." He thought for a second, "Do you believe that someone brings the snow?"
"Well, yes, apparently that's you," she remarked as she lowered her pad.
Jack laughed, "Yes, that's true. But, no one's ever been able to see me before."
"Oh, that must have been hard, with no one being able to see you. It must have been very lonely."
"Um, yeah, but, you can see me now! What do you want to do? Want to get out of here?"
"Oh, no! I can't, I have to stay here so I can be safe. But, if you bring winter to the whole world, maybe you could tell me about the things you've seen?"
"With pleasure, but it would be even better to show you. Wait, is that your hair?"
Rapunzel chuckled, "Yes, I think you had better sit down, I'm thinking there's going to be a lot we have to tell." The two sat down in the middle of the room and chatted long into the night, the two just happy to have someone seeing them.
