Sorry, end of school in two weeks, last band concert in three days, another 3 day event (in which I'm riding two horses!) in two weeks as well, you know how it goes. But don't worry, for this event, it will be in my home town so I won't be leaving you all for another three days^-^

Is it possible to have 3 songs stuck in your head? Well, it is is for me. I can't get I Stand by Idina Menzel, Rude by Magic, and How To Save A Life by The Fray (which is one of my new favorite bands, btw) out of my head.


Jack rushed as fast as he could back to Corona.

He had taken the letter, and it lay on the passenger seat of his car.

His radio softly played How To Save A Life (Brief A/N: lol, any wild guesses where I got that from? *wink wink*) as he drove.

Some sort of window to your right

As he goes left and you stay right

Between the lines of fear and blame

You begin to wonder why you came

This letter was eating him up. Had Elsa written something? And why hadn't she sent it?

Where did I go wrong?

Why couldn't he have found the rest of that letter? Maybe it would have cleared some things up. But Elsa had left him. Maybe she hadn't really cared all those years?

I lost a friend

Why did Elsa have to disappear in the first place? His best friend just gone, like that. It had hurt really bad, he couldn't even imagine what it must have been like to believe she was dead and gone forever for three years, like Anna.

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

When the stoplight turned green, it was all he could do to race back to the coffee shop.

Having received his text, Anna was already there.

"Hey, so, you found something?" She greeted. "I can't stay long, I have a therapy lesson in twenty minutes."

"Yeah, don't worry." He smiled. Luckily, the hospital was right across the street from the park, and since Anna was under such intense supervision, she lived at the hospital.

"So, what'd you find?" She bounced excitedly.

"This," he held the letter t her. She quickly skimmed her eyes over it.

When she jumped up, she was squealing, her two braids flying all over the place.

"Oh my God! Jack! She was about to say 'I love you!' I just know it!"

Jack had to admit, the thought had crossed his mind at first, but that couldn't be it.

"Anna, we were fourteen, we didn't love anyone that wasn't our family," he argued, snatching up the letter. He didn't tell her that if he ever came anything close to loving someone else, that would have been Elsa.

"But I just know it Jaaaaack!" She said, stretching out his name for emphasize. "Besides, I'm only a year older than you two when you were...uh, separated? Anywho, and I already am in love!"

"Whoa whoa whoa, what?" Jack exclaimed, folding his arms.

"Yes, his name is Hans," she sighed dreamily.

"Okay, just because you are seriously obsessed with someone doesn't mean you're in love, little sister." He said, ruffling the top of her strawberry blonde hair.

"Jack!" She protested, laughing but fixing it. "But I do love him. Love is an open doooor!" She half-sang very out of tune.

"Oh, God," Jack teased, pretending to cover his ears. Anna playfully smacked his shoulder.

"Shut up, Mr. Jack Frost!" She said. Suddenly, she looked up at the clock. "Oh no, gotta run. See you next weekend Jack! Bye Kristoff!"

The two boys were laughing as she ran out, tripping and very nearly falling over her own feet.

"Well, she's very lively today," Kristoff chuckled. "I've never actually seen her smile reach her eyes before. Thank you, Jack."

Jack shrugged. "Her sister has put her through a lot of things she shouldn't have to face alone. But she is like a sister to me."

"Who is this Elsa? Anna speaks of her often but she always gets quiet when I ask."

"Oh." Jack cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, Elsa and I were best friends and neighbors growing up, we were kind of the shy kids in the school. Then, one day, she shut me out, and I never knew why.

"Until today, that is. Now I know that she was in a car crash, and her parents died. Anna didn't remember anything, and Elsa had always been a bit empathetic towards others. I guess she thought it would be easier if Anna thought she died? A couple weeks after, she announced she was moving and I haven't seen or heard from her since."

"Oh. I'm sorry. To hear that her sister might be alive must mean a lot to her." Kristoff sighed.

"Yeah." He agreed.

"Nevara, get off of me," Kate said, waking up from her little nap.

She had fallen asleep while doing homework in her dorm and the sneaky little kitten had crawled on top of her head and had fallen asleep as well.

Her dream had been nothing, and it had been nice. It was one of those dreams that she never remembered, and it was nice to fade away into something that beyond her own miserable self.

But then, was she really that miserable? Sure, she turned away people and never let them inside her forever-shut gates, but was she happy? Not really, mostly. But then again, she had been the one to cause this.

But the emptiness, the loneliness, the nothingness, it was easier than having to face reality. Hiding behind a mask was so much easier than showing off your face to others, especially when you never wanted to show your face to anyone ever again. Not even your sister. Not even your best friend. Not even yourself.

Kate stretched, then jerked awake, hearing a knock on her dorm.

"I-it's open!" She called. If they didn't hear her then they would go away, right?

Jack walked in then.

He sighed, walking to her fridge and pulling out one of her vanilla milks.

"Gee, just make yourself at home," she muttered, turning to face him.

She rubbed her eyes. It was not a good idea to sleep in contacts. But she was glad she had. For once it payed off.

"These are good, where do you get them?" He asked, holding the milk out.

"It's called a store, you know, where you buy food, other necessities" She got up, then winced at the coldness of her words.

But again, he laughed. "I told you you had a sense of humor."

"Oh shut up," she told him, going to get her own vanilla milk.

Nevara came and scratched against Jack's leg.

"Hello kitty," he said, picking her up.

"She likes behind the ears," Kate said, sitting down on the opposite bed.

Jack complied to the suggestion earning him loud purrs from the white kitten.

"I need to get more food soon," Kate said, glancing at the small food bag.

"I need another vet kit for the bunny. Maybe we can carpool to the store," Jack said.

"Sure. How about tomorrow during our free period?" They agreed on tomorrow.

"Nevara and my bunny need to have a play-date," Jack said, holding said kitten in front of his face. The kitten adorably sneezed, blinking slowly.

"Aw," Kate couldn't help but be warmed by the sight...her kitten, not Jack...

"You really need a name for that bunny of yours," Kate said, going over to take Nevara in her own arms.

"Can't I just call him Bunny for now? At least until I know he's a definite survivor."

"Yeah, that's reasonable," Kate agreed.

"Okay, I need to be going," Jack said downing the last of his milk.

"Why did you come here for in the first place?" Kate asked.

"Oh right! I need to ask you something, but I kind of got distracted and now I have to go, but I'll tell you tomorrow, bye!"

"Uh, okay bye?" Kate responded but he was already out the door.

"You are so crazy, Jack Frost," she mumbled amusedly to herself.

The next day, Kate's classes flew by quickly and before she knew it, her and Jack were driving down to the pet store.

As they got out, the pet store was empty.

Since it was technically still school hours, they didn't see Punzie there, which meant they were stuck with the other clerk. The one who had wanted to put Bunny down.

"That thing's still alive?" He said bored, handing Jack his bag of vet supplies.

"Yes, he is," Jack shot back defiantly.

Kate calmly purchased her bag of cat food, thanking the clerk.

They walked out, Jack tugging on his hair frustratedly.

"I-it's okay," Kate said, trying to console him. Wait, why was she reaching out again? She didn't even know.

"Some people just have no belief," Jack replied, walking on.

"Whoa, that was deep," Kate said beneath her breath, catching up to him.

"Hey little girl, want an ice cream?" Jack laughed.

Kate shrugged, smiling. "Sure but I'm not getting in your pedophile van."

"Progress!" He cheered.

"Shut it, Frost," she smiled, shoving her shoulder into his.

He took her to the same ice cream place Hiccup had taken them a while ago.

Kate and Jack got a sugar cone with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Kate got one scoop while Jack got two.

He refused to let Kate pay, and they sat down at a table.

"So, what made you want to play the piano?" Jack asked.

"I don't know," Kate said, licking her ice cream, "I guess I was always interested in it and went from there. What about you and the guitar?"

From her memory, he hadn't played the guitar, and if he had only been playing for three years, he was quite talented.

"Oh, I used to play piano, actually. But I wasn't too infatuated so I tried guitar a couple years back. It's been little more to my...style."

They laughed.

"Yeah, I can't picture you playing piano," Kate barely saved herself from saying 'anymore.'

It was so nice, just the two of them. Talking and laughing.

"What, don't think I can be a sentimental guy?" He held his arms like, what?

Kate snorted and shook her head. "Uh, no."

"Ouch. Immediate denial," he chuckled, making Kate laugh even harder.

It felt like it was just how it was. Like nothing had ever changed.

But she was wrong.

Everything had changed.

Which was why she couldn't afford to slip up like this.

Her smile faded, and she looked away, the small glimmer of happiness gone. "We should get back."

Jack, noticing the sudden change for once, wiped away his own smile, turning it into a frown. Why did this girl have to be so bipolar?

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing. I just have a lot of homework."

"You're a bad lier," he stated, walking sideways to try and catch her eye.

"Not now, Jack. Please." She said, stopping at the car.

They stared at each other for a moment from each side of the car.

Jack eventually nodded, unlocking the car and stepped in, his jaw clenched.

Kate pretended not to notice as they drove back in silence.


Yes, I know. Finally they get somewhere and Kate ruins it! She's so frustrating. Review time!

Your awesomness: haha, uh, yeah, sure, that's what I meant by that...

shobbs10: oh wow, I didn't think it would be THAT good:) I was just writing for entertainment of myself and to see what others thought, the usual ;)

Shimmer Shine: I know right?! Ha, I wish things could be that simple

Snowman: okay, so this pretty much explains your entire review. One fact of life (or more, girls..) girls are freaking confusing, they are going to be a bit controversial and, as our dear friend Jack has found out, bipolar. We are very moody and tend to over-think things whereas with my fourteen years of expirience boys tend to not think at all. Like how Elsa became Kate to erase her past to escape it instead of dealing with it, coming up with an elaborate plan to recreate herself, and then Jack just didn't want to be the same person so he became a jerk. Maybe that's not the best example but it's an explanation. And yeah, she pretty much doesn't want a reason to revert back to Elsa.

And haha, see? I took your advice into consideration! Although, I'm afraid the telling of Elsa to, well, Elsa, will have to wait for a more dramatic part that I have planned. Don't worry, it will be equally-if-not-more amazing that your idea:)

Livia Toric: haha, that is in my plans (hopefully) that becomes one of my careers;) and thank you so much!

CupcakeMonkey567: haha, yeah...

Falcon88: um...I think I answered most of it in Snowman's review. Ha, us girls, what can ya do? ;P oh yeah, no offense, but to my teenage mind, it is very hilarious to hear a college student using words such as like-liking. Sure, you're just quoting me but I find it highly amusing, don't ask. It's really late again so I may or may not be just the tiniest bit crazy :}

DragonIceFury: haha, thanks, and yep. I totally agree. On a school night, when else? Pfft.

AhsokaTano11: lol it's fate! Haha, but thanks!

Faithfulfollower: just want to let you know, I', m normally very good at updating on a regular basis, (ask any of my reviewers, hopefully they'll back me up on this...) I've just been super busy! And haha, thanks;)

I feel like I say 'thanks' too much. Oh well.

"I stand for the power to change! I live for the perfect day! I love til it hurts like crazy, I ope for a hero to save me! I stand for the strange and lonely! I believe there's a better place! I don't know if the sky is heaven, but I pray anyway!"

"Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too? Why you gotta be so rude? I'm gunna marry her anyway! Marry that girl, marry her anyway! Marry that girl, no matter what you say! Marry that girl, and we'll be a family! Why you gotta be so rude?"

"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness. And I would have stayed up with you all night, had I known how to save a life!"

Random fact about the author!: I generally have a different song (in this case song(s)) stuck in my head very day/hour. Moving on now...
