Chapter 1

Jack's POV

I was flying around and spreading my snow and fun to the children. Carefree and ready for what my day would bring me. I landed on the Eiffel tower and looked at the activity going on in Paris. I always brought light snowfall to Paris. Enough to look beautiful but not too much to where people are afraid to take romantic strolls around. Ahhh romance, what a waste of time. And yet, the idea of having someone to love doesn't seem so bad. I spotted a couple, one that I have known for a while now. I used to bring fun to them when they were children and I watched as they grew up, fell in love, and stopped believing in me.

I continued watching them and saw as a line of snowflakes and magic swirled around them, turned purple and then burst. Instantly the two stared into each other's eyes and shared a kiss. I continued watching them and my yearning for love grew. However, it would be impossible for me to love as no one my age could see me and I'm not exactly comfortable dating someone who is half hummingbird. I then thought about what I had just seen. Someone just used magic to make those two fall in love. I wonder who it was. I heard that the bringer of love was named Cupid. However, I have never seen them. I followed the path of which the magic snowflakes had flown from and saw a glimpse of Cupid. I saw that their hair was very light blonde, almost white, and that it was a girl, However, they moved so fast to where I couldn't even get a glimpse of their face.

I wonder if Cupid could find me love. Maybe if I get a chance to ask her, she could find a spirit who could learn to love me. Ha, what am I kidding, I don't need love. I've got the children, the Guardians, and fun. I don't have room in my life for love. Speaking of the Guardians, maybe I'll visit North today. With that thought in mind I flew to the North Pole.

As I entered the Pole I saw the toys flying around and the Yetis trying to make as many toys as possible before Christmas comes. "Oh Jack Frost, what brings you here?" North asks as he looked up from his toy making. "Oh you know, haven't seen you guys in a while and figured I'd stop by and say hi," I replied. "Oh well it's good to see you. However, Christmas is in 2 weeks and I do not have time to sit and chat." North said as he began working on another toy. "That's okay, I understand," I said as I began walking off towards the kitchen.

"Wait a minute Jack," North said. I stopped and turned back. North stroked his beard and observed me. He got up close, too close for comfort, and looked me intensely in the eye. "Something is different about you Jack. Is there something wrong?" He asked. "Ummmm, no. Not that I know of." I replied. "Hmmmm," North thought for a bit step back. "I think I know what it is," he finally said. "Okay well what is it because honestly, I have no idea."

"You have lost the sparkle in your eyes. Your eyes aren't as bright as they normally are. I'm seeing loneliness in you." North finally said. Loneliness? I'm not lonely. I have the children and the Guardians. "What? I'm not lonely. I have you and the other Guardians. Plus, children believe in me now, how could I possibly be lonely?" I asked North.

"This is a different kind of loneliness Jack. Tell me, do you feel sort of empty?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow. Empty? Well earlier I did when I watched that couple. But that was just once. "Not really, no." I replied. "Don't lie to me Jack. I know everything. And right now, I know that you yearn for a soulmate" North said. My jaw dropped. A soulmate? Why would I ever need a soulmate? "What makes you think that?" I asked. "Jack, I am Santa Claus. I always know what people want the most. It's one of my gifts. And right now, I know you want love in your life" he looked at me seriously. "Don't worry, you'll find someone," he said. Then North walked away into his office.

I began heading to the kitchen again. A soulmate? Love? Sorry North but your belly is wrong. I don't have time for those things. I don't need or want them. I walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. "Oh Jack! Nice to see you here. It's been a while," Mrs. Claus said. "Yeah, nice to see you again," I said, not completely paying attention. She brought out some cookies and I began eating them while thinking about what North had said prior to this. "Something wrong dear?" Mrs. Claus asked. "Hm?" I questioned. "Well it just seems like you're in really deep thought." She said as she sat down in front of me. "Well, I was just thinking about what North had just told me," I replied. "North? Now what'd he say this time?" she asked. "He thinks that I want love. Can you believe it? Me, in love? It just doesn't match" I said. "Why not?" she asked. "Well, because…" I didn't have a reason.

"For the first time in forever North wasn't wrong my dear. You've been alone all your life, and that's a long time considering you're immortal. You didn't even have anyone when you were human"

"I had Lily," I reasoned. "Yes, you did love Lily, but that's a different kind of love. That's more family love. What you want is the romantic love-" "Stop right there. Romance? Really? There's no fun in romance." I cut Mrs. Claus off. "Thanks for the talk Mrs. Claus, and the cookies. I think I'll be heading out now." I said as I stood up and began walking away.

"Jack," Mrs. Claus called out. I turned around. "You may not think that you want love, but you are young and you have been alone for a while. Although it may sound ridiculous, it's what your heart wants." She said. I nodded and then flew out.

I flew for a while, collecting my thoughts when I landed on a hill and decided to spend the night there. I saw Sandy's dream sand begin to spread all around the city and then, once again, I saw the magical snowflakes swirl. This time, however, they didn't turn purple when they went around the people. Instead it turned orange. Once they went away, the people hugged and walked away from each other. Hm that's different. I wonder what the orange snowflakes do. Once again, I did not see Cupid, only her magic. Her magic is beautiful though. Very elegant yet powerful.

All of the magic for the night was gone and I laid back preparing for sleep to take over. As my eyes began to close, I saw lights in the sky and opened my eyes wide to see that North was calling the Guardians. I just saw him a couple of hours ago. I wonder what could've happened. I stood up and began heading to the pole, again. Please be something good.

I'm back with a new chapter. Sorry it took so long but I've been pretty busy with life and trying to make the best out of my summer. School starts in less than a week for me, so please don't expect this to be updated very soon. I hope you enjoy this chapter though and I will try to bring you the new one soon. Thanks for reading!
