So here's the first little short story :) I should be posting each one every other week, throughout the holiday season (y'know since ROTG and Frozen are those kind of movies). So far, there are roughly seven one-shots which should carry out into January (depending on what more I come up with ^^) ps, in case maybe you guys didn't notice, my avatar has been of JackxAnna for a while, so maybe you guys saw this coming?
Anna left the tea room, eager to meet up with her friend. Her sister watched her dash off, curious, but turned away, heading for her chambers. Just as Anna entered her room and closed the door, Jack appeared at her window. Always on time it seemed. She waved and ran up, unlocking the window. "Jack, hi!"
"Hey, Anna." He smiled, standing on her sill. "You ready to go?"
"Yeah, just let me grab my cloak." She held up her pointer finger for a minute, and pulled her magenta cape off of the coat stand. Quickly fastening the clasp, she came forward. "Ok, let's go!" He grabbed her hand and helped her up; Anna wrapped her arms around his neck for safety. And with that he set off into the air. That afternoon, he took her farther than she'd been before. The forest beyond the village, just below the mountains. They landed just past the tree line entrance.
Anna slipped from him, her black boots crunching down on the snow. She eyed her surroundings, smiling to herself. The magic of Jack's powers never ceased to amaze her. "So, what should we do first?" He asked.
"Snowball fight!" Anna blurted. Jack's eyes widened, but then he smirked.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"Yeah, I haven't made a snowball in the longest." Anna said.
"Can you throw one?" Jack further questioned.
"I'd like to think so." Anna shrugged, placing a hand on her hip.
Jack grinned wider, "You got to be careful about challenging me to a snowball fight."
Anna raised an eyebrow, "I always thought it was just for fun."
"Well, sure, but not without a little competition." He grabbed at the snow on the ground. "Watch."
He molded the snow into a perfect sphere, blowing on it; Anna's eyes widened, seeing the ball turn blue. Jack then arched his arm back and tossed the snowball. It sailed a couple of feet before slamming into a passing animal's side. It yelped in surprise and stampeded away. "That is what you'd be in for."
Anna arched her eyebrow, turning to Jack and said, "You're on."
Jack smirked, his teeth flashing in the light. The corner of her lip curled up, and she bent down, grabbing a handful. He watched her shape it into a lumpy mound and shook his head, "I'll give you a head start."
He held his arms out wide, signifying he was open for attack. "How thoughtful of you, Jack, taking it easy on me." She jutted out her bottom lip, speaking sarcastically. "You're gonna wish you hadn't." Jack chuckled, projecting that he was open. She wound her arm back and grunted, tossing the snowball. It flew past Jack, hitting the tree. He turned his head to look. "Oh." She cringed. He turned back to Anna, his arms dropping to her sides. "Ok, that was just a trial throw." She said.
"Nope, it's too late for that!" He took a few steps back, scooping up another snowball, "Come on, snowflake, it's time for some real fun."
Anna bit her lip, "Alright, fine! But I'm gonna get you, Jack!" She grabbed more snow, mashing it together. She began to give chase and he ran off, weaving in and out of trees. He looked back over his shoulder, tossing his snowball. Anna ducked with a yelp and looked back, grinning at her evasion. She prepared to throw her own, but another smacked her in the face. "Ah!" She cried stumbling back, dropping her own in surprise. "Ugh!" Anna grabbed another and threw with all her might. It hit Jack in the back of the neck, "Hah!" She shouted as he lost balance.
"That was lucky!" He called back.
"Lucky my backside, that was a nice shot!" Anna huffed out. She reached for more snow "That's right! Keep, keep running, why don't you?" She fumbled slightly on the ground.
Jack fired three more shots, all hit their target perfectly. "Getting a little competitive, aren't we?" He called as they did.
"It's part of the game, isn't it?" She chucked a snowball that hit him in the back. "Hey, I'm getting pretty good at this!" Adrenaline began to pump through her veins as she caught up to him, she ran past him, shouting, "Try to catch me, Jack!"
Jack shook his head, chuckling, "What have I created?"
Nonetheless, he followed, reaching for more snow. Jack followed, aiming at her. Two hit Anna, but one hit a tree as she ducked out of sight. He sped forward, the wind gusting him onward. Soon he was right on Anna's tail.
The early evening light cast a soft glow on the snow, causing it to shimmer pink. It was peaceful until Anna tumbled onto the scene, past the tree line, followed by a few snowballs. She stumbled, grabbing for more ammo "I'll get you back for that... Jack?" Anna turned around to find that he was gone.
Still clutching her snowball warily, she called out, "Jack!" There was no answer. She frowned, slipping back into the forest. "Jack, where are you?" Still no answer.
"Are you okay?" She looked around the trees. "Hello?" Anna gazed up to the treetops.
Now, she was worried, finally tossing her snowball to the ground. "Okay, game over, you win! Say something if you can hear me, Jack! Please!"
And then she felt something cold plop onto her head. Her eyes widened, then gazed up. Anna reached up, touching at her head. When she withdrew her hand, she found bits of snow on the palm of her mittens. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. And then Anna heard laughter.
She looked up to a nearby tree; the branches shook and snow fell from them as Jack hopped down to the ground. "You're right, Anna. I win!" Anna gaped. And then she scowled.
"You tricked me!" She stomped her foot like a small child. He laughed again, swinging his staff over his shoulder. Anna placed her hands on her hips. "That wasn't funny, Jack. I thought something had happened to you."
"I was just having a bit of fun, that's all...Look, I'm sorry for worrying you, Anna." He said.
Anna sighed, her hands sliding down, "Alright... Just... don't do it again, okay? You had me really scared there, Jack."
Jack's eyes widened; he'd scared her? He nodded his head in agreement.
"Good." She smiled, but then said, "Cuz' next time I'm gonna kick your butt fair and square." She smirked.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that, snowflake." He flashed a grin of his own.
I should probably mention that well, I went and spoiled the Frozen movie for myself through the book adaptations and because of that is why I ship this new pairing ^^' So I've found quite a few connections between these two characters, but I'll leave you guys to figure them out for yourselves once you see the movie ;)
