Okay so I'm taking a few liberties here (please keep in mind I haven't read the books (Alas!)). Okie, SonYuki, I that's one more of your requests down :P We're getting there XD

Disclaimed.

Jack groaned as he let his head fall onto the open book in front of him. They'd been there for hours, searching the huge tomes for some kind of passage or other that North mentioned having spotted once upon a time, believing it would help him with his frost creations. Excited though he was about the prospect of improving, there was only so long he could sit in one place. And it certainly didn't help that they'd found nothing so far.

"It will be in here somewhere," North encouraged from the opposite side of the table, flicking through the pages of his own book. "We just have to keep searching."

"We're going to get through every single book in this place at this rate," Jack replied, gesturing with an arm towards the countless shelves and their contents without looking up.

"You are too impatient. The journey is half the fun, no?"

"Yeah, for things like road trips," Jack replied, leaning back in his chair. "This is a bit different."

North smiled to himself, remembering a time that felt so long ago now when he had been the same; always so impatient to get things done. "You know, Jack, you remind me a lot of myself when I was apprentice," he told the winter spirit.

"You were an apprentice?" Jack raised a brow.

"Oh yes, to a great wizard called Ombric. I always liked to get things done quickly, too, but Ombric told me that patience is a great virtue that we should strive for –is very easy to overlook important details when you are rushing."

Jack sighed. "I know… but it's so boring!"

"Is very boring," North agreed, making Jack pause.

"Can't we get the elves to look?" Jack asked slowly.

"Nyet," North shook his head. "They will just end up ruining books and building towers."

Jack's face fell. Though watching the construction might be amusing.

"But there may be another way…"

The winter spirit's head shot up, a hopeful expression on his face. "Which would be…?"

"Come, we go find spell book," North beckoned, rising from his seat.

Jack was grinning now, hurriedly complying. Magic would be way more fun than sifting through page after page by hand. "You have a spell book?!"

"Of course! Is very big collection built up over many centuries; there are books here you could not find anywhere else!"

Jack didn't doubt it. "So hey, you think I could learn magic?"

"Is possible; but let us first work on finding passage in book, no?"

Phil the yeti bustled into the library, clipboard in hand, in search of North. He needed to get the latest bunch of new prototypes approved before they could make more. The sight that greeted him, though, made him pause.

The library was a mess, to understate. Books were stacked in piles that should have been unbalanced and crashed to the floor, some particularly heavy tomes were drifting lazily through the air alongside some tables and chairs, and several books that weren't defying gravity were open with their pages flying at a mile a minute. Seated in the centre of it all was the very man he was looking for, as well as a certain winter spirit. A magic book was set out in front of them and they were both laughing at the scene playing out around them.

Phil quietly backed up and shut the door, heading back to the Workshop. The approval, he decided, could wait.

Guest Review Responses:

Guys, there are so many people called Guest I am losing my mind. It's not so much that it bothers me, it just makes it hard to figure out who I'm responding to. I almost considered assigning you names but then I remembered I wouldn't know who you are next time (assuming you didn't use said assigned names)

Guest: Thank you! Hahaha I read that line and I was like 'sadist spotted!' lol. Fellow sadist :3 Can you believe there are like 31 requests on my list now? I feel bad to make you all wait so long. I'm on a tangent now; point is, there are plenty coming up with Jack getting hurt :P

Guest: YOU HAVE NO IDEA *cries* I really just guess who is who these days. So if I screw up, apologies.

Guest: (Ch.1:) I don't do romance here, sorry! I'm reeeeally sucky at it. Also because I only support canon ships. You are, however, allowed to ship whoever you want, so s'all good if you want to read into it :3 (Ch.2:) :P yup. Daaaaym indeed XD (Ch.5:) Thank you! And good that you understood ^w^ (Ch.11:) Really?! Thank you so much! (Ch.12:) I've found Pippa has been the most common one (that I've come across) and the only reason I don't use that one is because there's already a Pippa in canon, so it would be confusing to have two.

Hhujjjjjijjjiiju: Well, I hope you like the name cause you're stuck with it now XD Although if you don't mention it again I won't know who you are QwQ

Guest: Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear you say that! (And put my anxiety to rest :P Fight scenes are so hard D:)
