Author's Note: hey guys, sorry I was gone for a couple days. Anyway, I was gonna discontinue this story because no one actually reads it even though I had so many great things planned. But then I realised that it doesn't matter so I'm gonna write this for myself.
So if there's anyone who's reading this, enjoy!
Mavis and Jack finally landed on a huge boulder overlooking a lake which seemed to be on the edge of a town.
"Welcome to Burgess." Jack looked at her and grinned.
"Why have you brought me here?" Mavis laughed, Jack was still holding her hand. His fingers were cool, soft and gentle.
"You, my lovely acquaintance," Jack spread his arms cheekily. "Get to experience a Jack Frost style snow day of fun and then you get to embrace your budding inner artist."
"But Jack-" Before she could say anything, Jack pulled her and flew into the town; soaring over the streets, houses and lawns. Mavis noticed how small the town was. She bet she could scale the city in a day.
Jack let go of her hand and passed over what seemed to be the market place of the town. He had a mischievous expression on his face.
"Snow day!" He whooped and hurtled towards the ground, landing roughly on the street. He took off running and Mavis followed behind him.
"Why aren't we flying?" Mavis shouted.
"It's more fun this way!" Jack yelled, barely looking at her as he spoke.
Mavis felt her heart thump loudly in her chest, her breath was quick and cold, her feet slapped loudly on the pavement. She loved it. She loved the blood rush. She loved running. She wondered why she had replaced it entirely with flying.
She ran behind Jack who was laughing and making it snow more intensely. Wherever he stepped frost would start to spread. She noticed that quite a bit of snow had collected on the streets and pavement.
An idea formed in her head and she smirked mischievously. She stopped running, slightly out of breath and turned to a huge pile of snow. She raised her hands and tried to control the water in the snow. She'd never tried this before but hey, how hard could it be?
Her fingers tingled with power as a huge wave of snow rose in front of her. She swayed her arms and the snow copied her movements; she grinned widely.
Jack noticed the lack of her footsteps thumping behind him and turned around, "Mav-?"
She didn't even let him say her name. She sent the snow flying towards him like a mini avalanche. It hit him in the face and he toppled to the ground. Mavis fell apart laughing.
"Oh my god…" She laughed uncontrollably trying to form a coherent sentence. "Oh sweet baby Jesus… Your face!"
Jack looked confused, still sitting in a pile of snow, "How did you do that?"
"I controlled the water in the snow." Mavis said matter-of-factly. "But you should have seen the look on your face!" She started laughing again.
"Oh it's on now, you little nymph!" Jack laughed. Before she could even process what he had said, she was hit in the face with a snowball. She wiped her face and opened her eyes only to see Jack laughing.
"Don't," Mavis glared at him, and jerked the snow off of her hand. "Call me that."
Jack got up and started running, "Little nymph!" He laughed and turned right.
"Get back here!" Mavis laughed and sent another wave of snow towards him.
He dodged and rolled to one side, "Hey! No fair! You're using your powers!" He pointed
His staff towards Mavis and fired a lightening-like crackle of blue power. It hit her square in the chest and she fell back. She tried to get up but she was pinned to the ground with ice which covered her entire torso. Jack saw her struggle and laughed harder.
Mavis decided to try something else. She set herself on fire.
She closed her eyes and concentrated, she felt her chest heat up and when she opened her eyes again, her body was covered in orange licks of fire. It melted away the frost and the snow she was laying on.
She jumped up and noticed that Jack hadn't realised what she had done, he was still laughing like an idiot. She grinned and rose her arms again. The water around her feet rose and she aimed at Jack.
The water hurtled towards him with such velocity that when it struck him he fell to the ground, completely doused.
Jack laughed, "I hate you so much!"
He stood up sloppily, "This water is gonna freeze into ice!" He complained even though he didn't mind it at all. He waved his staff and snow around his feet formed at least 20 snowballs. He grabbed on and threw it towards her.
Before it could hit her she brought her hands forward and shot a column of flames at it. It instant steamed into nothingness.
"Hey!" Jack shouted. "Quit using your powers!" He turned around and started running again.
Mavis followed him, laughing hysterically. "Only if you do!"
He ran down the street towards a children's park. "Okay fine!" He yelled back at her and entered the playground.
The park wasn't that big. It had swings, a slide, monkey bars, a see-saw, and a couple of benches. Mavis couldn't see anyone in the park, fortunately enough. Random snowballs flying around would have been hard to miss.
Jack waved his staff again and the snow on the ground formed more snowballs. Mavis leaned down and grabbed as many as she could. She threw one at Jack who dodged it barely, laughing still.
He hurtled one after her and she turned away from it but it still managed to hit her in the shoulder.
"Ohh that was a good one!" Jack laughed. Mavis ran towards one of the benches to take refuge in them. She lay down her snowballs and started firing them at Jack.
"Taking shelter is against the rules!" Jack yelled as he barely dodged one that was aimed at his stomach.
"Rules who exactly proclaimed?" Mavis laughed. Oh how she loved darting snowballs at Jack Frost.
"Me!" He spread his arms proudly. Mavis supposed he was getting cocky as not a single snowball had hit him.
Yet.
She grinned and at the speed of light she threw a snowball at him. It hit him square in the jaw and he staggered backward. Mavis jumped up quickly and laughed. "Oh my god! I got you!"
Jack looked surprised. He quickly regained his composure and wiped the snow off his face. He grinned slyly and said, "Not if I get you first!" He bolted towards her. Her eyes widened and she turned around and ran.
"Get back here, you little nymph!"
"Come catch me, Snowflake!"
Mavis darted through the park. Jumping on the swings, over the sea-saw; straight up parkour.
She started to head towards the exit of the park when something crashed into her side and she hit the ground with a painful thud.
Did he just tackle me to the ground?
Mavis felt dazed. She looked up and saw Jack hovering over her with a huge smug grin on his face, "Caught you."
Mavis laughed and Jack joined her. She hadn't felt this happy in years. For the first time in centuries she was having…..fun; not just delivering it to children.
Mavis noticed that Jack was still on top of her. He had stopped laughing. He just looked at her and she couldn't read his expression.
Mavis could feel her clothes getting wet from the snow. She curled her fingers which lay flat against the snowy ground. She grabbed a chunk and shoved it in Jack's face, "Get off me, Snowflake!"
Jack jolted backward and wiped his face, looking annoyed but mostly amused. He got to his feet and helped her up too.
"Uhh…" Mavis' face twisted into a look of disgust as she turned around stiffly. "Look what you did to my clothes."
Jack looked at her soaked jeans and jacket and started laughing, "Looks like I got you wet."
He started laughing harder and Mavis punched him in the shoulder, "Eww disgusting."
Jack smiled smugly and looked at her with wide eyes filled with mischief, "Okay okay, you could take your clothes off. You know, for drying purposes only, of course."
Mavis rolled her eyes at him, "Won't be needing that, Snowflake." She brought her hands closer to her body and closed her eyes. Instantly, the air around her started to swirl at a high speed taking away all the water from her soaking clothes. Her jacket flapped violently behind her and her hair was all in her face.
When she was sure her clothes and hair were dry she willed the wind to stop. She opened her eyes and saw Jack with his jaw dropped and white hair messier than before.
"What?" Mavis smirked.
"I still think that taking the clothes off would have been better." He mumbled and straightened his hair.
"Ha-ha, very funny." Mavis adjusted her jacket. "But really Jack; thank you. You know, for this."
"The pleasure is all mine." He bowed, smiling. Mavis pushed him playfully and he laughed. She was debating whether to hug him. She hadn't come in close contact with anyone for 400 years so she reckoned it would be a bit awkward.
Just when she had made up her mind and leaned forward, something rushed past from between them. They both jumped back a little.
"Whoa!" Jack said.
"What was that?" Mavis was more curious than concerned.
"Only one way to find out." Jack smirked at her. She knew what was on his mind.
They took off in unison and tried to follow whoever or whatever that blur of speed was. Mavis stopped briefly and hovered over a house. Something caught her attention out of the corner of her eye. She pointed in its direction and yelled, "There!"
Jack followed her gaze and flew after her.
Finally they ended up in an empty alley. It had gotten quite dark and they couldn't see much in the shadows.
"Are you trying to get me alone?" Jack smirked at Mavis.
"Oh shut up." She pushed him, smiling only slightly.
"Looks like you've already met up." A voice said behind them. "Spared us the trouble honestly."
They both turned around and very met with the silhouette of a tall figure with a slender and athletic body. He had long pointed ear and whiskers.
"Bunny?"
End of chapter. I hope you liked it. It was longer because I had been away. Not that anyone reads this but whatever. Byeeee.
