North carefully carried the suit as he came down the hall and looked to Phil. "Did you find Jack?"

The yeti nodded and pointed to North's office.

"And you have locked all doors and windows so he can't escape, Da?"

Again Phil nodded and gave North an encouraging pat.

"Thanks, I will need it," North said with a laugh. "It be easier to get polar bear to wear suit than Jack."

Phil mumbled in agreement as North entered and locked the door behind him. "Jack," he called. "I know you are in here. There is no way out of this."

Jack's head peeked out over from the ceiling beam he'd been hiding on. "I'm NOT wearing that suit, North!"

North sighed as he lay the clothes on his desk and smoothed out the wrinkles. "It is only for party, Jack."

"But I like my own clothes!" Jack said as he hung upside down from the ceiling. "Why do I have to wear that penguin suit?!"

"Because I much rather you be able to enjoy party and not have run in fear of Snow Queen," North replied.

North saw just mentioning the Snow Queen caused Jack to wince, not that North blamed him. The Snow Queen had proudly showed North the clothes she had made for the boy. Honestly, he'd seen Christmas tree that weren't as bright.

However, he had manage to convince the Snow Queen that her clothes weren't needed as he would take it as a personal task to find Jack 'presentable' clothes. Course, the hard part was getting Jack to wear them.

As soon as North brought out the clothes Jack bolted like a scared rabbit. He was grateful he had thought ahead of time to tell the yetis to block all potential escape routes.

"But still," Jack said. "I hate tight clothes like that-"

"The clothes I made are not," North said as he patted the suit. "I made them exactly for you, so they will be comfortable." He waved his hands. "And there is no lace or glitter I promise."

Jack crept closer, but still seemed reluctant like he expected the Snow Queen to spring upon him any moment. "There aren't any boots are there?"

"There are," North said. "But good strong boots, no heels." He pointed to the desk. "Come, take look and I will change anything you don't like."

Jack chewed his bottom lip, but he hopped down and looked over clothes. North had made them as simple as possible. It was military style, but the only snowflakes were the cuffs he added at the sleeves and he made there was there plenty of room for Jack to be able to move in. North even took it upon himself to include hood to make Jack feel more at home.

Jack narrowed his eyes as he fingered the cloth. "It was better than that nightmare outfit the Snow Queen had."

"Then it meets your approval?" North said.

Jack sighed. "Yeah, but you swear I only have to wear this for parities."

"Only parities and perhaps occasional meeting, but that is it," North said as he placed a hand over his heart. "Fair?"

Jack sighed as he tucked his hands into his pockets. "Yeah, I guess. I still don't get why she thinks I need to be 'presentable'."

North laughed as he wrapped his arm around Jack's shoulders. "Could be far worse."

"How could it be worse than that outfit the Snow Queen wanted me to wear?" Jack asked.

North paused. "I saw early designs she had in mind, trust me." He looked to Jack. "That outfit was tame compare to what she had originally planned."

Jack shivered and scooped up the suit like it was a protective shield.
