They arrived home; Jack parked the car in the garage, stops the engine and got out. He went to the other side to help Elsa get out of the car. After removing her seatbelt he reached a hand out to pull her out. He closed the car door while Elsa walked past him. A wave of concern struck him when he saw her expression, she looked troubled about something.

He turned around and asked her, "Elsa, is there something wrong?"

Elsa looks at him, worry becoming evident on her face, "Jack I'm not being a burden on you, am I?" she asked, fiddling with her hands as she averted her eyes from him.

He became confused with her question, "What? No. What makes you think that?"

"It's just you seem to be bothered by something earlier." She murmured

He realized she must have been talking about his behaviour when he left the Antique Shop, "Oh that. I was just thinking too much, don't worry about it." He responded, trying to reassure her.

Elsa didn't respond she just bowed her head down. She must think that she's only a bother to the family.

Jack let out a sigh and said, "Elsa, you're not a bother to any of us, don't worry about it, alright?"

Elsa looked at him and nodded her head.

"Come on, I'll show you to your room."

"My room?"

"Yeah after all you'll be staying with us"

"But Jack I don't want to impose-"

He raised a hand up to stop her, "It's fine Elsa, besides I can't just let you go out by yourself, you don't even know your way around here and I'm sure the kids won't forgive me if I just shut you out of here."

"Really you'd let me stay here?"

"Of course" He said with a smile.

Elsa looked at him a smile crept up her face, she leapt to Jack and hugged him tightly, "Thank you Jack." She muffled as her head was buried on his shoulder.

Jack didn't know how to respond, it was as if his mind was in a blank. He had been hugged by his friends and women who took an interest in him before, but somehow she was different from them. It felt weird.

Just as he was about to wrap his arms around her, she pulled away, he felt slightly disappointed when she did, "I'm sorry, I'm just happy that you're willing to accept me. I mean I'm sure that a lot people won't accept strangers so easily."

"Well you're different than others." He said with a small smile. They stared at each other for a while when Jack decided to break the silence.

"Come on, I'll show you where you'll be staying."


They went upstairs and went to the room across Jamie's; His eyes hardened and his heart clenched a little when he saw the door of the room that has been abandoned for years. He unlocked the door and went in. The room was empty save for a bed, a drawer, and a lamp.

A sad smile crept up Jack's face as he remembered whose room this belonged to. It was exactly the same as they had left it. Save for the dust that was collecting on the furniture.

Elsa looked around and touched the light blue coloured walls, "Jack, who stayed here before?" Jack was only silent; he had a solemn expression on his face.

"Jack?" Somehow the atmosphere in the room became tense.

He sighs as he sat on the edge of the bed, dust particles scattering a bit when he did, "This used to be my parents room."

"Your parents?"

"Yeah, they…died 3 years ago."

"Jack I'm so sorry, I'll just stay somewhere else."

"No it's fine it's all in the past now." He said frowning.

"It must have been hard…." She said as she sat beside him on the bed.

"It was...I mean they were there for everything. They cared for us and helped us whenever we had problems. I was a troublemaker before; I really gave them a headache for it." He chuckled. Then added, "But they still loved me…no matter what I did. I just wished that they still had more time in this world that they weren't taken away." He said as tears began to form and fall down his face; he noticed and began to wipe it away.

"Sorry, I-I don't know what came over me." He said while wiping a few tears from his eyes. Reminiscing about old memories with his parents' would always bring a wave of sadness over him. Sometimes he would think if he's doing a good job with taking care of his siblings, if he was making them proud. He clenched his fists in an attempt to prevent his emotions from breaking loose.

Elsa placed a hand on his shoulder, "Jack, I'm sure they really loved you, even though I don't know if I had parents' before. I would be sad as well, if someone very important to me would be gone forever, but maybe they're watching over you. From what I could see you're doing a good job, I'm sure they're proud of you."

Jack looked at her his eyes red with the tears that fell, he shook his head in a way to calm down, "Yeah…It's just I really miss them, my only regret is that I didn't get to tell them how much they really mean to me when they were alive."

"I'm sure they already know."

He smiled as he looked at her, "Thanks Elsa. For listening to me, it's been a while since I've let this grief out my system."

"You're welcome, Jack." She said giving her own smile. She got closer and gave him a hug to comfort him. After a while they broke off.

He cleared his throat and stood up from the bed, "Right, why don't I take you to the bathroom. I'll show you how some things work there." He stood up from the bed and walked to the door before he could get out, Elsa held to his arm.

"Are you feeling better now, Jack?"

He let out a small chuckle, "Yeah, I'm alright now. Thanks again Elsa."

They stepped out of the room and closed the door.


They walked down the hall towards the bathroom and went inside. Elsa's eyes wandered as Jack explained a few things.

"Okay here is the bathroom, it's basically where we get clean or take a shower." He heard a flush and saw Elsa by the toilet flushing it.

"That's the toilet it's where we uh…empty ourselves when we drink too much or eat something that make our bowels react."

"Why does the water swirl?"

"It does that so it goes directly to the sewers."

"What's that?"

"It's where people waste goes." He felt awkward explaining how things work around the toilet, so he quickly changed the subject.

He walked into the shower, sliding the glass door open, "This is the shower it's where we get cleaned. You have soaps, shampoos, conditioners and various other items. The shampoo and conditioner is used on the hair while the soap is used on the body. These are only used to clean our bodies and just because they smell good does not mean they're edible."

He stepped inside and pointed out the shower knob, "Now when using the shower you turn the knob to the left for hot water to come out and you turn it to the right if you want cold water to come out."

"Also when taking a shower you need to remove all of your clothes, do not take a shower with clothes on, you'll only leave sopping wet. " He pointed to the hamper and said, "You place your dirty clothes there. Did you understand everything?"

Elsa nodded, "Okay, you may take a shower now."

After he said that Elsa looked at her clothes and tried taking it off. She pulled her hair tie off, letting her hair fall over her back, and then she tried to take her dress off.

"Oh before I forget-" He stopped what he was saying when he heard what seems to be clothes falling on the floor. He turned around and saw Elsa undressing, immediately he turned around.

"Elsa what are you doing?!" He said a blush covering his cheeks.

"You said to remove the clothes before you take a shower." She said as she tried to remove her remaining clothes.

"Elsa wait don't just…undress when someone is with you it's inappropriate."

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Wait until someone leaves the bathroom, then you can undress."

"Oh…What were you going to say earlier?"

Jack sighs and pointed to the towel hanging by the towel rack, "Use that to dry yourself off after you take a shower and I'll buy you a toothbrush later. Now you can take a shower."

Elsa nodded she lifts her hair and turns around, "Jack can you please unlace this, I can't do it myself." She said indicating her corset.

Jack just stood awkwardly behind her; nervously he turns around, he tries to squints his eyes to avoid looking at her almost bare form. He tries to focus only on the laces. He lifts his hands and shakily unlaces her corset. Little by little her skin is becoming exposed. After that he immediately turns around and ran out of the room.

Elsa looks behind her and wonders, "Did I do something wrong?" She proceeds to remove her excess clothing and steps into the shower sliding the shower door close.

She turns the shower knob to the left and hot water pours out, Elsa cringes and immediately turns it off. The heat became too unbearable for her it was as if her skin was being pricked by a thousand needles. She turns the knob to the right and cold water pours out. She sighs in relief and continues to take a shower.


Jack was in his parents' old room cleaning it. He replaced the curtains and bed covers with new clean ones. He dusted some of the furniture and vacuumed the floor. After he was done cleaning he went downstairs to the laundry room to check on the clothes. He removed the clothes in the dryer, folded it and placed it in the clothes basket. He carried it upstairs, just as he was about to go upstairs he heard the doorbell ring.

He placed the clothes basket on the living room floor and made his way to the door. He got irritated when whoever was behind the door kept ringing the doorbell. He opens the door, his irritated look turned into one of surprise when he saw Flynn, Rapunzel, Aster and Tooth at the doorstep.

"Hey Jack!" Rapunzel said to him.

"Hey guys, what are you doing here?"

"Is that anyway to greet your friends? You wound us Jack." Flynn said with a fake hurt impression as he placed a hand on his heart.

Jack looked at him in annoyance then glared at him when he noticed that it was him who kept ringing the doorbell as he was next to it.

"Hi Jack! it's been a while." Tooth beamed at him, it's been almost a month since he's last seen Tooth, he was really glad to see one of his best friends. Before he could respond Tooth pried his mouth open.

"Wow! They're exactly the same as I remember them. You've been taking really good care of your teeth." Tooth said as she observed his teeth. She always does this whenever they would meet. She loved his teeth ever since they were kids she would even compare them to pearls. Aster pulled her away from him when he could see how uncomfortable Jack felt.

"It's nice to see you too, Tooth." He said rubbing his cheeks.

"Why don't you guys come in?" He suggested, they all went in Flynn and Aster slapped him on the back, while Tooth and Rapunzel hugged him. They went to the living room and sat down on the sofa, while Jack sat on the chair on the side.

"So what are you guys doing here anyway? I mean don't you guys have work today?"

"Well I took the rest of the day off since I had to get Blondie here for her check-up at the hospital." Flynn said as he paced an arm on Rapunzel's shoulders.

Jack nodded and looked at Aster, "What about you?"

Aster furrowed his eyebrows at him, "I have the same day off as you. You nut."

Jack raised his hands up, "Hey it's not like I even check your schedule." He looked at Tooth and asked, "What about you Tooth?"

"Don't you remember Jack; my off days are Friday and Sunday"

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." He said scratching his head, and then added, "Hey Tooth, can you move the dentist appointment on the eighteenth next month? I forgot the kids have school on the fifteenth."

"Sure no problem Jack."

"By the way, why did you guys come here of all places?"

"We thought we'd hang out, you know go out somewhere. After all it's our day off, why not enjoy it." Flynn said.

Jack smiled at the idea, but then he thought about Elsa. He can't just leave her here alone. "Sounds great you guys, but I can't leave today."

"Why not?"

Jack tried to come up with an excuse, if they knew that he's keeping a woman here in the house they might get the wrong idea, "Uh…well, I have a lot of chores around the house that needs to be done."

"Jack you need to take a break once in a while, you can just continue later." Rapunzel said.

"Yeah but I have other things I need to worry about." He said nervously trying to convince them.

"Like what?" Aster said raising an eyebrow at him.

Before Jack could respond someone called out to him by the doorway.

"Jack, who are these people?"

He looked at the doorway, his eyes widening when he saw Elsa, her hair still dripping and only wearing the short white towel that's only up to her knees.

Jack's expression was one of surprise while the other four had shocked and bewildered expressions on their faces as their eyes wondered back and forth to Jack and the woman.

A/N: Well that's the end of the Meet Elsa arc. As I've said before Elsa is OOC because of her having no memory of anything, so sorry about that. It looks like Flynn, Rapunzel, Aster and Tooth finally gets to see Elsa, but in a very awkward situation. How do you think they'll react? You'll find out in the next chapter.

FrostByte Burns: As for your question. I'll have to say that Anna will show up in later chapters. In what form, well I'll give you a hint and say that it's in human form.
