Jack kept his word. Throughout the few years since they had met, he showed Elsa the beauty of winter, and how to create that beauty. He showed her how to create those little white owls she loved so much; how to create the most beautiful snowflake; how to freeze someone's pants off, to Elsa's reluctance; but most importantly, he showed her how to see her ice powers as a gift.

But Jack could only visit her during the winter, hence the whole winter spirit thing. Yet he made the most out of those winters.

So, here he was again, on his way to the little kingdom known as Arendelle. Hoping that Elsa hadn't stop believing in him as she grew older.

'You're overthinking everything again, Jack. Elsa is still a kid, of sorts,' Jack thought as he tried to convince himself that Elsa still believed in him.

As Jack got closer to Arendelle, his worry got replaced by excitement. He couldn't wait to see Elsa again.

Elsa knew that winter was approaching and with winter came Jack and his extraordinary stories. She hoped he would tell her all about the adventures he had gone on and all the mischief he had caused.

Oh, how Elsa longed to travel with Jack all around the world. To see new lands and people, to go to places where she didn't have to spend all day locked inside her room trying to control her powers. Although Jack had taught her how to use them, she still couldn't control; they were too attuned with her emotions.

Elsa was anxious to see Jack again, and her studies showed it. She should be listening to Madam talk about the importance of political marriage and kingdom diplomacy. Yet she just couldn't focus on her studies when winter was so close.

So throughout the rest of the week she would stare out the window, hoping for winter to hurry up. Then, on the third day of the week, the first snowflake fell, and Elsa knew that Jack would be in Arendelle soon enough.

That night Elsa couldn't sit still through dinner, and this didn't go unnoticed by the royal family.

"Elsa, are you feeling well?" asked the queen, worry evident in her voice.

"No, I feel really tired and it feels like I may be getting sick. May I be excuse?" Elsa asked hoping to make her escape to her room.

Before the king could respond Anna intervene and exclaimed "But Elsa this is the only time of the day I see you, you can't leave yet."

Elsa looked at her sister with a pain expression; oh, how she wish she could talk to Anna and tell her all about Jack. But she couldn't be close to Anna, it was for the best.

Before Elsa could reply, the queen explained gently to Anna "Anna, Elsa isn't feeling well, you have to understand that. Besides, tomorrow she will be feeling better and will have dinner with us."

All Elsa could do was look at Anna with a pained expression. She had been selfish in trying to escape to her chambers to see if Jack had arrived. Dinner time was the only time of the day that Elsa and Anna saw each other, why had she given that up for the chance of seeing Jack?

Still feeling conflicted, she walk to her chambers. As she walked in, she saw him there, lying on her bed without a care in the world.

"Jack, you're finally here!" Elsa almost threw herself at him, but composed herself at the last minute.

"Hey there Princess," Jack said as he stood up pulled Elsa in a tight hug. "Miss me much?"

Elsa would not dignify that with response, so she settle for burying her face in his chest. Oh, how Elsa loved hugging Jack. It made her feel safe and like she was finally home.

"Wanna go do something fun?" Jack pulled away as he said, giving Elsa a mischievous smile.

"Depends. What do you mean by fun?"

"Oh, you'll see. So is that a yes?"

"I suppose." That was all the answer Jack needed. With a quick swoop of his hand he was carrying Elsa bridal style, flying out the window.

"Jack! Where are you taking me?" Elsa asked as she tried to not look down.

"Oh, you'll see," Jack answered, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"That's not much of an answer."

"That's because I'm trying to make it a surprise, and you're not helping."

"Fine then, I'll keep quiet until we get there."

A few minutes later Jack landed on top of the tallest mountain in Arendelle. Elsa could see all of her kingdom. She had never seen a view as beautiful.

As Elsa stood admiring the view, Jack admired her. He knew that Elsa wasn't a kid anymore, but that didn't stop him from hoping that she would had stayed being the dorky kid he met. But Elsa was growing into a beautiful woman, and Jack couldn't help his feelings changing for her. Changing for the better or worse, he did not know; all he knew was that he was falling for his snow princess.

His snow princess, he liked the sound of that. With that in mind, Jack decided that it was time to try to further things with Elsa. Of course, if it didn't work out, he would still be her best friend.

"Jack, this is so… beautiful, amazing, I don't know how to describe it. I just love it," Elsa said as she turned around to thank Jack, "Thank you so much for bringing me here."

"Well, I didn't just bring you here for the view, ya know," Jack replied, "Why don't you dance with me?"

"Dance? But there's no music. Besides, since when do you how to dance?"

"I have picked a few things from here and there. As far as music goes, just listen to the beat of your heart," Jack said as he took her into his arms and started twirling her to their own rhythm. They danced, lost in each other. Only stopping when Elsa began to feel tired.

"I better get you home before you start sleep-dancing," Jack said as he, once again, carried Elsa bridal style.

"Hmm, I'm too tired to complain," Elsa replied as she burrowed her face on Jack's chest, her eyelids closing.

"Elsa, we're home," Jack said softly as he laid Elsa on her bed.

"Hmm, that was a refreshing nap," Elsa said as she stretched. "I'm still tired, though."

"Then why don't you go back to sleep," Jack deadpanned.

"Is that an order?" Elsa questioned, her eyebrow rising in defiance. "Why don't you make me?"

Jack loved when Elsa let go of her royal uptightness and became the feisty girl that he loved.

With a smirk Jack flew over to her, his face right in front of hers. "Maybe I will," and with that Jack leaned in and kiss her lips softly.

Elsa's hands went to Jack's head, pushing his face to hers. Her lips moving in synch with his, making her heart beat faster. The room got colder and a mini snowstorm started harmonizing with Elsa's lips. And then she stop.

"Jack, we can't do this."

"Huh, why," Jack responded a bit disoriented, his mind still on the kiss.

"I don't make good decisions when I'm tired. And if we continue this, it may lead to something that I'm not ready for. I'm truly sorry."

"Yeah, you're right. I better leave you to sleep. We can continue this in the morning," and with that as a goodbye Jack gave Elsa one last kiss on her forehead. "Sleep tight, princess."

"Goodnight, Jack."

That winter was the best, for both Jack and Elsa. Jack would take Elsa to all of his favorite places and Elsa learned to control her emotions a bit more. She could even kiss Jack without causing a snowstorm, and of course Jack would kiss her every chance he got. Always ready to make his Elsa blush with happiness. But like all good things, it had to end, for winter had ended.
