It's been a little more than two years (!), so here's a quick little recap of where we left off:

Well, Jack and Pitch got into this huge fight in the cafeteria. They're still alive but both are very much injured. Both are in for some intense punishment. But that intensity will be nothing compared to Pitch's anger when he sees his new and improved glitterfied (that's a word now, cool?) backpack. Courtesy of Merida, Hiccup, and Anna of course. That's being filmed by said fiends for their friends' viewing pleasure. Jack, his foster family (ie. the Guardians), and Elsa are now at dinner.

Got all that? Any questions? Hm? Where have I been for the past two years? Ahhhh we can talk about that at the end. Mkay? Great. Well, you've waited a long time, so go, you crazy kid. Read the update and enjoy.

Fiesty Pants added Maer Bear, Hic the Terrible, Moose Man, Zelicious, Rider Die, Count Olaf, The Snow Queen, Trouble Maker, and The Other Trouble Maker to PAAAAAARTYYY!

The Other Trouble Maker: The Snow Queen and Trouble Maker are strangely missing in action both in person and in this group chat... anyone care to shed some light on this ;)

Trouble Maker: We're busy

The Other Trouble Maker: Sounds steamy

Trouble Maker: 1) shut up 2) we'll be there and 3) shut up

Trouble Maker: Aaaaaand now we're muting the chat. See you all later.

The Other Trouble Maker: Not a single denial

Rider Die: And so as mysteriously as he appears in the group chat so too does Jackson Frost fade back into the abyss of which he came

The Other Trouble Maker: Hey! Wait just a damn minute here!

The Other Trouble Maker: Why is he Trouble Maker while I'm the Other one!?

The Other Trouble Maker: I have been wronged and demand an explanation!

The Other Trouble Maker: Hello?

The Other Trouble Maker: Anna?!

The Other Trouble Maker: DON'T YOU IGNORE ME!

Whoop! There it is a group chat update that absolutely no one was ready for two years later. Surprised? On the edge of your seat wanting more? Well, keep an eye on updates ;)

I know I would typically respond to reviews here, but it has been a ridiculously long time and I'm not exactly sure where I left off. So! Let's start fresh. Ok?

It has been a while guys. Like sweet baby Jesus in his manger! It's been a while. I def lost my inspiration, my drive, and my desire to continue this story for a very long time. And I'm not entirely sure if all of those things are back. I can't process that updates are going to be consistent (I mean were they ever?), but I don't want to abandon this work with all of the planning that had been done up until at least the end of their first semester. I promise that at least up until that point I will continue this. As for the rest of the school year/what's to come... we'll see. Only time will really tell.

If you're wondering what the hell happened well, a lot. The past two years have been really awful in some ways and really great in others. I've grown as a person and have some more life experience than I did when I was 16. And now I'm entering my third year of college. With all of these changes, I thought a lot about changing this story too. Maybe aging up the characters and putting it all in a college setting. Still am. But there's something kind of endearing, nostalgic even in keeping them in high school. Still up in the air about that.

To all of the fans of this story that reached out to me a) to ask about updates, b) to ask if I was ok, and c) to thank me for what was written before my long ass hiatus, thank you. To the new followers, comments, readers, thank you for taking a chance on what looked like an abandoned work. To every single one of you that reached out to me, thank you. I really appreciated (still do!) hearing from you all. Even when I didn't think I would ever pick this story back up, you never failed to bring a smile to my face.
