Things were much calmer after Pitch was gone. They had watched over Pitch, their eyes growing wide when he suddenly transformed into ice completely. North had brought him to the North Pole, deciding that he would watch over his body and alert the others if he ever thawed. Elsa had looked mournful, clearly not wanting to be responsible for causing such a fate, but Anna had helped her through it. Now, both Elsa and Jack were Guardians, protecting the children of the world when threats came to town.
Jack had other things on his mind, though. He had been away from Anna for a long time, spreading fun to children outside of the city. The battle with Pitch had ended months ago, but he hadn't found the right time to go and see Anna again. She had been the first one who believed in him and he found that he missed her. He missed their snowball fights and the way she always criticized him. Her smile was always bright and welcoming, even if she was upset with him. He wanted to go back and see her, but he didn't think he should. After all, it wasn't like Burgess needed anymore magic this year. It had gone through enough with Pitch and their battle against him. Plus, it was quite a ways away from winter still, barely the beginning of July as he flew through the skies, subconsciously towards the Bennets' house.
Anna was staring out her window, hoping for Jack to stop by. She had done this every night for the past three months, ever since he had become a Guardian. She wanted him here, wanted to know he was okay and happy with his life. She knew he had a job to do now, but she missed playing with him. He had always known what to do to make her smile and cheer her up, but now he was gone. Her heart felt empty without him, like he had taken part of her with him when he left.
She saw a familiar figure fly past her window, moving quickly towards the other side of town. Anna almost threw herself out the window, rushing over to see Jack and try and stop him. "Jack, wait!" she yelled, waving over at him. She thought he hadn't heard her, but after a moment he stopped, glancing back at Anna. He grinned, a familiar sight to her, one that she had missed so much. She watched him fly back towards her room, raising an eyebrow at her to ask what she wanted. "Do you wanna build a snowman?" she asked him, the first thing that came to mind. It was the question she had always asked Elsa, but now it seemed appropriate to ask him that as well.
He laughed, holding his hand out towards his first believer. Anna was so cute when she was nervous and it was obvious that she had not expected him to be here tonight. He hadn't exactly planned on coming, but the wind kept bringing him here, to his home. "Why not? I've got some time to spare." he told her, watching her eyes light up. She grabbed his hand, this time ready for their flight out toward the ground.
"So, are we actually making one this time or are we just going to have another snowball fight?" Anna asked, remembering the last time he had agreed to make a snowman with her. He grinned and created snow all around them, letting it fall toward the ground. For Anna, he didn't care if it was the middle of summer. He would freeze all of Burgess for their game, to see her smile along with all of the kids in the town. "What do you think?" he asked her, setting his staff down by the house. Anna smiled, happy to see that he remembered. "Magic isn't fair, right?" he asked her with a small smile. She nodded, forming a snowball in her hand and throwing it straight at him.
Jack laughed, joining in and having more fun than he'd had in a long time. No one could compare to Anna in a snowball fight, it just wasn't the same without her. Her determination and smile always made it so much more fun and he liked it that way. "Oh you are so paying for that!" she yelled, after Jack hit her directly in the face. He laughed and dodged her next throw, only to slide and fall face first into the piles of snow building up on the ground. Now, it was Anna's turn to laugh at his misfortune, but the battle wasn't over yet. Jack rolled over, with a snowball in hand to throw right back at her. "Ha! Got you that time." Jack cheered, only for Anna to huff and begin to prepare her next snowball. They continued for quite some time, laughing and having fun in the summer snow. Once she was clearly exhausted, Jack stopped and walked over to her. "Done for tonight?" Jack asked, reaching out for her hand again. She had fallen at the end, collapsing from exhaustion and breathing hard as she surrendered the fight.
Anna stared at him, feeling a bit bolder after his long disappearance. She grabbed his hand and used it to pull him closer as she got up, watching him stumble as he was brought right in front of her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling up at him. "Promise me you'll come back tomorrow?" she asked, her face close to his. Jack blinked a few times, staring into her bright blue eyes. How had he left her behind? He didn't know and now he didn't care. All he knew was that he was never leaving her again. Slowly, he leaned his head down toward hers, pressing his lips against hers. It was warm and beautiful, like the summer sun. Jack wasn't used to being warm, but he decided he liked it. He pulled away, watching her eyes grow wide.
Anna was smiling, happy that she had finally gotten him to care about her too. "See you tomorrow, Anna." Jack told her, smiling softly and grabbing his staff. She watched him fly off into the distance with a smile, knowing he would come back for her. He was her Guardian, the one that protected her and all the other children in the world. Anna knew that Jack Frost would always be there for her when she needed him the most.
