Winter Spirit's Warm Comfort
"On second thought, why don't you and Jamie face the deadly beast?" Amber said suddenly while looking at the kid who shrugged upon saying that.
"Are you insane?" Jack exclaimed and looked at the summer spirit.
"Yes I am." Amber laughed evilly just for fun, "You're both boys!" she added and looked at them, "You know what boys say in the face of danger…"
The boys looked at each other and shouted at the summer spirit, "WHAT?" they said furiously and Amber curled her lips into a rare smile, "Mommy…"
The bear with red eyes roared and the birds flew away and the beast is preparing to jump across to them. "Do you have a plan?" Jack asked Amber nervously and Jaime looked at the summer spirit hoping she HAVE a plan.
"Of course, I thought about it!" she said joyfully and the two boys sighed in relief, "no one dies, see I thought about it!" Amber said and laughed aloud. The deadly beast jumped and Amber carried Jamie and jumped away from the beast separating the winter spirit from them and the beast is walking towards Amber and the boy.
"Whatever happens stay here, do you hear me?" Amber said as she hid Jaime behind a rock. Jack started to fly above the beast and caught its attention. The winter spirit froze the beast's feet and stabbed each and every of it preventing it to move.
The summer spirit spins her staff above her and gold electricity started to form and she threw it towards the beast as the winter spirit combined it with his. When their attacks collided the beast roared in pain when it hits him and both of the season spirits hugged Jamie to protect him from the big explosion.
They stood up slowly and saw that the beast it gone and there is no trace of it. "That was…. TOTALLY WICKED!" Jamie shouted and jumped around.
"A deadly bear is not enough to fight two season spirits…." Jack said with a weird smile.
The two season spirits sent Jaime home and the little kid isn't stopping talking about what happened and they laughed along the way. When they arrived Jamie dressed up and jumped up and down on his bed while Jack and Amber is playing with the kid and suddenly his door opened and the two season spirits flew on the ceiling and put their index finger on their lips.
"What is the laughing and talking all about dear?" Jaime's mother entered the room and looked around but saw no one's there.
"Oh… uhmmm, Im just playing mother." Jamie said and smiled.
"It's late dear, go to sleep," Her mother said and looked at his son, "Do you want me to tell you a story?" Jamie shook his head and her mother smiled and left the room. Jack listened carefully if Jamie's mother is not there anymore and the winter spirit laughed.
"That was close!" Jack said and the young kid laughed joyfully as the winter spirit tickled him. "You need to go to sleep Jamie…" Amber said heartily and the kid nodded. Jack tucked him in and turned on his night light while Amber turned off the lights and watched Jaime fell asleep.
When they got home, North approached them and asked them how things went.
"Ahh… Jack Frost and Gold Amber!" He exclaimed joyfully and hugged them both, "Easy there North… we're just gone for a few hours." Jack said while trying to breathe.
"You can let go now…" Amber said and the leader put them down carefully then the Sandman ran to Amber and hugged her tightly.
"Oh…." Amber giggled and Jack looked at Sandy and murmured to himself.
Sandy started to draw image on his head too fast and Amber didn't get that at all. "Wha… wait…" Amber laughed and scratched her head and looked at the young guardian who looked away which made her wonder, "What's his problem…" she thought.
The Sandman dragged her upstairs and covered her eyes and entered in a room. After a few minutes, Sandy took off his hands on Amber's eyes and she felt amazed and surprised about what she saw.
"No way…" she said almost breathless and looked at the Sandman, "this… this is my room?" she asked and the Sandman nodded. North appeared in her door and blinked at her.
"I hope you like it…" North said and entered the room, "It's the Sandy's idea," he added and Amber smiled at the Sandman.
After a minute or two, Jack leaned on Amber's door but didn't go inside. He noticed Sandy's looking at him weirdly and also giving him that weird smile of his which made him blush but don't know why. He looked away ignoring the Sandman and suddenly Sandy pushed him.
"What now?" The young guardian said and groaned at the Sandman. Amber didn't noticed because she's too busy exploring her new room. The Tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny passed by and peeked in her room.
"Thanks you guys… I really appreciate it." She said cordially and looked at Tooth and smiled at her but the Tooth fairy left. Suddenly something beeped and North excused himself and the other guardians followed except for Jack and Sandy. The winter spirit, who noticed that she became lonely all of the sudden, closed Amber's door behind and noticed Sandy's looking at him.
"What?" Jack said "OK… your stare is creeping me out." He added and the Sandman's pointing the door and the young guardian. "You… want me to go and talk to her?" Jack asked and Sandy nodded cheerfully but the young guardian shook his head.
"Oh no, no, no… she… she needs to be alone for a while…" he said trying to convince the sandman that she's fine then suddenly they heard Amber sobbing. The Sandman got angry and he's coaxing Jack to talk to her and comfort her.
"No..he…hey!" Jack said with a low voice while the Sandman's pushing him and Jack banged on the door. "Shhh!" Jack said while putting his index finger on his lips. "Al….Alright, alright!" He said irritatedly and pushed the Sandman. Jack knocked on the door and after a minute or two, Amber opened it and Jack noticed Amber's wet eyes even though she wiped it.
"Oh… hey." Amber said trying not to make her voice shake. Jack doesn't know what to say and he looked at the Sandman nervously and he keeps pushing the young guardian.
"Uhmm… you want to… talk… about something?" Jack said and feels a bit stupid upon saying that. Amber smiled and opened the door wide. Jack closed the door looking at the Sandman and gave him an angry face.
The summer spirit sat on her bed and Jack stood in front of her and cleared his throat, "Uhmmm… are you ok?" Jack asked and looked at the girl. "Of course she isn't! She's crying! Stupid me!" He thought to himself and shook his head, "I don't know how to… deal with this…" he thought.
Amber patted the bed and Jack sat beside the summer spirit and looked at her. "Uhmm… I kind of noticed something between… you and Tooth." Jack said nervously while his playing with his staff.
"Oh… you have…" Amber said and feigns a laugh and looked at the young guardian.
"Tooth and I were… friends." Amber said and the young guardian felt surprised about what she said, "And a girl named Terra believed in me and Tooth. She's the reason we became friends and we visit her as frequently as we can…" she added and breathed deeply before she continued, "because she have an illness that cannot be cured."
Jack was about to rub Amber's back when she looked and smiled, "but one day… Terra died and I was not there when she needs me the most…" Amber tried to hold back her tears but she can't. It rolled down on her cheek and the young guardian rubbed Amber's back and looked at her.
"That's why Tooth hates at me and she won't even talk to me…. Well I don't blame her. I'll do the same thing if I was her." She said and wiped her tears. Amber lay down on her bed and looked at the ceiling while the young guardian stated at her for a minute and looked away and played with his staff. There was a long silence between then and the young guardian doesn't really know what to say.
Jack Frost looked at the summer spirit and saw that she's already asleep. The young guardian smiled and tucked Amber in gently and brushed her golden hair after. Jack turned on Amber's night light and walked to the door.
He looked back at the summer spirit who moved a little and made the young guardian smile. He turned the light off and closed the door with care. Jack noticed that the other guardians downstairs are staring at him and giving him a weird smile.
"Jack and Amber sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I…" the guardians are cut off by Jack. He lost his temper and slammed his staff on the ground. He widened his eyes remembering Amber is already sleeping. He opened the door slowly and sighed in relief when he saw the summer spirit didn't get woken up.
The young guardian closed the door and shook his head. He looked at the other guardians angrily but you can notice that he's blushing.
"One more word and I'll freeze all of you!" He said aloud but gently. Jack went into his room and closed the door behind him. He leaned his wooden staff on the wall and threw himself in his bed and put his arms on the back of his head, staring at the ceiling and didn't notice he's smiling.
He shook his head and grabbed a pillow and put it on his face, "I am not falling for her!" he shouted and took off the pillow, "yes I am…" he said and put the pillow on his face again, "No you're not!" he shouted and took off the pillow again and slapped himself, "Just go to sleep!"
