Up at a remote location within a cluster of snowy mountains, a magnificent ice palace stood tall. And for once, there was not a blizzard at such an altitude. All was still, peaceful, and the frozen palace glistened under the florescent northern lights.
Inside, Queen Elsa practiced her powers. She walked around in her icy blue dress, redesigning the frosted windows and forming snow sculptures with the graceful movements of her hands. It was quite effortless now. She had greatly improved her skills thanks to her love teaching her how to better control her abilities. Speaking of which, Elsa heard him making a ruckus all the way down in the chambers.
The Queen made her way to the extravagantly curved staircase. Jack Frost burst into the main hall, followed by a giant snow creature that broke through the edges of the already open doors.
"Have I ever mentioned how cool and amazing it is that you can create living things!" Jack exclaimed.
The snow-giant moped with a long grump.
"Aw don't sweat it, Marshmallow, maybe you'll score more goals in our next game of puck puck."
The creature formed a hopeful grin and walked off to another part of the palace.
Elsa smiled and instantly fixed the broken ice-doors from the stairs, "I wouldn't mind you mentioning how amazing I am a bit more."
Jack flew over, meeting her at the end of the staircase. He kept his staff behind his back and held Elsa's hand with his free arm. He looked into her clear blue eyes the same way he always looked at her, like she was the most precious being in the world to him. "Elsa, you are the most amazing, gifted, most beautiful girl I have ever been with."
She smiled even more, both from the sweet words and also from remembering an important detail, "Jack, I'm the only girl you have ever been with."
He leaned back, "Hey! That's not true."
She laughed, "You're the one who told me!"
"Oh right, well…" he leaned close to her again, "I can't imagine myself with anyone else but you."
She slid her index finger up his chin, guiding him to her lips, "No?" She whispered softly and invitingly.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, smiling, "No."
Just as they were about to kiss, frantic knocking at the front door stopped them. They both snapped coldly at the surprise guest for interrupting them, "Who is it!"
"It's me, Anna!"
In the span of a second, Elsa's expression changed from annoyed at the unknown disturbance to glee now knowing it was her little sister.
The couple walked over to the entrance, "I thought you said no one else knew about this place but us? Built by us, for us. That's what made it extra special."
"Yes, but she's my sister."
She snapped her fingers to open the enormous doors. Everyone's faces lit up upon seeing each other.
Anna excitedly greeted her with a big hug, "Hi!"
"Olaf!" Jack shouted at the pleasant surprise.
The little snowman, also created by Elsa, waddled next to Anna, "Hiya Jack!"
Jack swooped him up with a hug, "How you been little—ah,"
Olaf's carrot for a nose poked Jack's cheek, "Oops, sorry about that."
"Hey, don't sweat it. I'm just happy to see you."
Jack met Olaf when he first moved in with Elsa. They quickly became friends, spending a lot of time together while the Queen was out running and overseeing important matters in Arendelle. Then, Olaf went to live with Anna and Kristoff.
The sisters separated from their hug, "Come in, come in," The eldest shut the doors behind them, "I'm afraid it's cold in here too, but it's still better than out there."
"Yeah, Elsa and I have kept the weather calm, but we're still way up in the mountains. How have you not caught hypothermia by now?" Jack wondered as they all walked deeper into the luxurious palace.
Anna unbuttoned her heavy wool coat and glanced at Elsa, "I guess I'm just used to traveling great lengths for my sister."
Elsa smiled fondly at her, remembering all that they had been through.
"Oh! But Jack…" Anna searched her pockets.
"Yeah?"
"Your friend came to Arendelle to give me this," she handed him a scrolled letter, "He said I needed to get it to you right away."
Reading through it, "It's Hiccup!" he then eagerly asked, "Did he come with you?"
Anna unfortunately explained, "No, the guards didn't trust him with me since he was an unknown outsider who flew in on a dragon. He agreed to stay at the town."
Elsa blinked her eyes, thinking she must have misheard. "A dragon?"
Anna brought her hands together ecstatically. "Yes, a dragon! It was so incredible to see!"
With a gawked expression, "I thought there was no such thing..." then turned to Jack, "You never told me Hiccup had a dragon."
He answered her while still reading through the letter, "Huh? Yeah I did. I talk about Toothless all the time."
Her eyes trailed off in amazement at the realization after all this time, "I assumed Toothless was just another friend…"
"He is a friend," he smiled and finished up the letter.
Jack had not seen Hiccup and Toothless in a few years, or the rest of the team for that matter.
"Well it sounds important."
At the bottom of the letter Hiccup wrote in big letters, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, JACK, followed by, Your pal, Hiccup.
He rolled up the letter, gripped onto his staff, "So let's go!" and flew out of the ice palace like a rocket.
Out on Arendelle's royal courtyard, Toothless had gathered quite a crowd. No one in town had ever seen a real life dragon before. Hiccup tried to keep the guards and townspeople back for their own good, because Toothless was starting to get nervous. Then he recognized a loud hollering coming from above that could only be Jack Frost.
"Hey pal!"
"Jack!"
Both were thrilled to see one another. Jack landed on his feet with a breeze. The two friends greeted each other in a firm bear hug.
"You're all grown up!" Jack patted Hiccup's arms and moved a hand over his head for measure, "And you finally reached my height."
"It has been a few years. My growth spurt might have came late in the game but here I am! My awkward teen days are done."
"Yeah, yeah I see that...all handsome and everything. Look at you. Astrid must be stoked." He touched Hiccup's chin, "You even got a little stubble there."
Hiccup felt what little he had proudly.
Jack chuckled, placing a hand on the Viking's shoulder and stared at him impressed, "Your awesome armor, the look in your eyes, the way you even stand now…you've changed a lot, Hiccup."
He smiled, "Thanks Jack."
"You still sound the same though." He said mimicking his voice.
"Shut up," Hiccup grinned as he slapped the hand off his shoulder.
After his playful mocking, Jack then turned to greet Toothless, having been eagerly waiting for his turn. The happy dragon jumped on him, knocking Frost down to the floor. He could not stop laughing as he got licked all over. "I missed you too, Toothless."
Jack Frost was the Night Fury's favorite out of Hiccup's friends. The Guardian squirmed out to get back up, wiping the slobber off.
"So how bad is it?" he asked about the important situation while petting Toothless.
"Our kind of bad, only…about a thousand times worse." Hiccup summed it up.
"Whoa...well alright then."
Elsa, Anna, and Olaf arrived, crossing the bridge on a frozen chariot pulled by icy stallions; all made by the Snow Queen herself. They hopped off and walk over to the boys. The crowd already cleared a path.
Hiccup casually spoke into Jack's ear while watching the platinum-blonde in the sparkling blue dress approach them.
"So is she your?"
"Oh yeah" he stated proudly while also staring at Elsa's stunning beauty.
"How come you never told me?"
"I hadn't seen you"
He pointed to the horses and chariot, "Did you make those for her?"
"No, she did."
Amazed, "whaaaat"
"Yeah"
"No way, she has icy snow powers just like you?"
"Even stronger than mine"
"Wow"
"I know, talk about perfect for me."
Elsa reached the boys with Anna and Olaf at her side.
"Hello, you must be Hiccup," she extended her arm for a handshake.
"Yup, that's me," he shook her hand. "So you're the queen here. Your sister told me before she went to get you—agh," the prolonged skin contact gave him a little sting of frostbite.
She quickly pulled away, being extremely apologetic. "Oh sorry! I—I'm just cold to the touch and I don't have my gloves, because...well I don't need them when I'm with Jack."
Jack stood next to his girlfriend and held her hand, "Again, talk about perfect for me. We don't have to worry about freezing each other to death."
She smiled at him. Elsa then told Hiccup, "The cold never bothers me."
The young rider could see that, looking down at their joined hands. No frostbite, nothing.
"Hi there" Elsa looked down at the dragon. She was truly fascinated by the creature rather than afraid of it like most people would.
Toothless moved close enough to smell her, making her a bit nervous.
"Don't worry, he won't bite." Jack assured her.
Toothless looked up at her for a moment then sat, waging his tail. He nudged his head under her hand for her to pet him. Elsa did so happily.
"See, he's friendly."
"He's incredible…" She admired every aspect of the dragon, but made sure not to linger for too long due to her cold touch.
"Told you." Anna crossed her arms with a smirk. Olaf had been hiding behind Anna's leg the whole time though. The dragon frightened him.
Hiccup was a bit surprised, "Toothless must really like you. He still hasn't even fully warmed up to Merida."
Elsa did not know the name, "Merida?" stepping back to look over at her love.
"She's a friend of ours, and speaking of our friends," Jack positioned himself in front of Elsa and Anna, "I have to go."
"For how long?" The youngest asked.
Jack glanced over to Hiccup. The brown-haired rider shrugged. Jack looked back at the sisters, "However long it takes."
"I can help," Elsa offered.
Jack gave her a warm smile, "I know you can, but I also know Arendelle needs it's Queen. And besides…" he leaned on his staff, "this isn't the first time my friends and I have had to deal with trouble. I'll be fine."
"You better be," she smiled at him lovingly with flirty eyes.
Their lips locked for a kiss goodbye. Hiccup and Anna, along with Toothless and Olaf all looked happily at the loving couple.
As their mouths parted, they both exhaled a freshly cool, dazzling little puff of mist.
Hiccup then climbed on Toothless and prepared to take off. Jack twirled his staff and gave Hiccup a nod. They soared away into to the navy night.
Anna waved goodbye, "Say hi to Rapunzel for me!"
"Sure thing!"
The boys shrunk into the northern lights the farther they went.
Anna saw the concerned expression on Elsa's face.
"It's okay to be worried about him."
"Yes, but this seems different…" looking up at the sky where they had disappeared into the distance, "I just have a bad feeling about this."
A/N: Jack and Elsa have been together for well over a year. Their relationship will be an integral part of this story.
