VIII

Everything was silent. Everything was...beautiful. They were all out of Pitch's lair, and the guardians were watching Jamie and Gwen; he'd freed her from a state of anger, and uncontrollable rage. But even through he kissed her to break the fight down below, Gwen glared at the boy, before punching him across the cheek, sending him flying,and crashed right next to Jack and the others. They all look at her in shock, and she glared at all of them now.

"Just because he kissed me, doesn't mean I like him back!"

Jamie's eyes widen. "What?!" He exclaimed. "I don't like you! I only kissed you so that-"

"You like her, buddy, it's okay." Jack smirked; he received the Death Eyes from his little brother.

Jamie rolled his eyes, and looked at Gwen.

"Look...I don't like you. I only kissed you because you out of control, and I needed to make you shocked enough to end that fight. Besides-"

Gwen's eyes widen with more anger, and she yelled, "No! This fight isn't over! I WILL make all of you pay for taking my father away!"

"How do you think I feel?" Jamie pointed out. "This fight is over; and you've got ten seconds to leave and never return."

The others just watch in awe as he's telling-off the Boogeyman's daughter like that. Honestly, what happened to Jamie?
Gwen didn't think about it- she just acted. With all her might, she began to form some more fire, but it all didn't work. Gwen's evil grin fades away, and she continues to try and fight some more.

"Wha-? Why in hell can't I-?"

Smirking, Jamie says, "When I kissed you, I used a special spell that the Man In The Moon gave me. Your powers are now gone. You can no longer fly, make fires, create nightmares. It's done. Over. Zip. Nada."

Gwen's eyes dart at him angrily, and shrieks in anger.

"YOU LITTLE BASTARD! I'LL GET YOU! YOU'LL SUFFER! I'LL-"

"Go to hell." Jamie says, and fires a snow wind, sending Gwen flying backwards.

Gwen had fallen over towards thew hole that lead into the lair, and she screamed as she fell through it. Jamie then flew above the hole, and used his ice powers to seal it shut. Forever.

Back at the North Pole, everyone was sitting in the den. Jack was sitting right next to his brother, smiling his usual smile that made anyone fill-up with joy.

"So...the Man In The Moon did this to you, huh?" He laughed a little, giving Jamie a noggie. "I don't mine at all. Wait...did he give you these powers for keeps, or..."

Jamie grinned at him. "For keeps, Jack. I'm a winter spirit, like you. Forever."

Jack's smile grew even more, and pulled him into a hug. "Well, looks like we're partners in the winter business, huh bud?"

That made Jamie laugh and nestled his head against his brother's next. He was just so happy that Jack had given him a family again; but he couldn't help but to feel a little bad for Gwen. He'd banished her, and sent her back down into the Earth; with out her powers, she'll no longer escape, or cause any trouble.

But the more Jamie thought about, the more he began to realize it. Gwen's not really pure evil. She's just a scared little girl of his age that just wanted a family again; she's nothing like Pitch, except for when she was very angry. And she was angry this whole time.

Jamie broke the hug, and Jack looked at him confused.

"Sure Jack. We could be the 'Frost Brothers' or something..." Jack smiled at his brother's complement, and pats his head.

"That's a great idea, Jamie! The 'Frost Brothers'! I love it," He then notices Jamie's face is turning rather sad. Uh oh, Jack thought as be pulled him into a hug.

"You aren't still upset about your family's death, are you?" Jack asked in a very concerned tone.

Jamie looked up at him and shook his head. "No, no! I love being your little brother, and having a family again..." His voice trailed off. "...I'm just upset that Gwen doesn't have one anymore..."

Jack thought for a moment, then his eyes widen a little. Was he crushing on Gwen- for real this time? Or is he just upset about what he'd done.

"Why, Jamie?"

"Because I came to realize that we're not so different at all. That she's just a scared little girl who just wants to be loved again. I know this may sound crazy, Jack...but I think we should take her in as well. We should help her." Jamie explained to him.

Before Jack could say anything, Jamie had already got up and flown over towards the entrance to the lair.

Jamie had reached the hideout, and flew inside. Once he does, he hears the cries and sniffs of a little girl. Gwen. Jamie quickly rushed towards the cries, and finds Gwen crawled-up in the corner of a dark space.

"What are you doing here, Jamie Frost?!" She'd asked bitterly.

Jamie gulped a little. "I just wanted to tell you that I was so sorry for everything. And that I came to my senses. You're not a monster, Gwen; and I don't think you're like you dad...not really..."

There was a long moment of silence; and still, Jamie could not see her through the darkness that she was keeping herself in.

"You don't?" She'd asked through some tears.

He nodded. Jamie had taken a few more steps towards the darkness before saying, "I just think you're nothing, but a frightened little girl, who just wants to have a family...and to be loved again. We're the same, Gwen. And even though you've killed my family- you didn't know what you were doing- I'll still consider taking you back with me."

Gwen was a little speechless by all of this. She began to think that maybe he was right: she was frightened and scared of the world! She was too angry and sad, that she'd lost control of her abilities and her own physical body.

"Jamie..." Gwen began to say. "...I guess I accept your offer. And...I'm truly sorry...for everything."

Jamie smiled and reached his hand out, taking hers. Gwen slowly stepped into the light, and they smile a little at each other, before they fly towards the North Pole again.

*3 Years Later...*

Jamie was having a wonderful life ever sense those days of being Jack's little brother. Jack had been very sweet and kind to him- all the time; he'd also made sure that Jamie had every little comfort and family he could offer towards him.

Not only that, but once Gwen had been taken back to the North Pole, Sandy had used his special Dream Sand, and transformed her evilly dark figure, into a sweet, Sand Girl- who'll bring peaceful dreams to children with the Sandman.

For Tooth, she'd made sure to bring back any happy memories to Jamie and Gwen if they needed any of them.

Everything seemed to be very perfect in Jamie's life now.

He was a winter spirit, had a life-long big brother to care for him and protect him, had a life-long best friend (Gwen), and most importantly...he had a family again.

Jamie would also make sure to pay his little sister a visit every now-and-then, and take her on rides, play games, and other things.

Jack had successfully became Jamie's guardian.

His big brother.

Awwwwwwz! it's done! :(

Don't worry, I have another Jack/Jamie fic planned. It'll come hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday! ^.^

I'm also gonna continue "Frost & Snow" when I get a good chance after doing my new one-shot, so keep an eye out for it! lolz
