Chapter 17: Help and Invitations

"You saw her?" Jack exclaimed, and Elsa nodded slowly.

"Yes, and I hope we never actually have to see her…" she trailed off, knowing she shouldn't hope things like that. What she really hoped was that Jack would never have to see her, knowing it would crush him if he did. He opened his mouth to ask another question, but before he could the door burst open, and in came a blur of multicolored feathers.

"Elsa!" the girl exclaimed, trying to calm herself down. "You're ok!"

"I'm fine, Anna," she reassured her sister, who flew over to hug her even before the Snow Queen was finished talking.

"Oh my gods what happened? We were so worried. You just passed out and this time was worse than before and we were trying to find a cure but couldn't and Pitch tried to track down Medusa to find a cure but he couldn't and we were all scattered trying to find anything that could cure you and then Fay came to find us and said you were okay and we came back as fast as we could and, and…" the girl finally ran out of breath after rushing to explain everything, and Elsa laughed quietly.

"Jack saved me. He's my Guardian," the Spirit of the Moon said with a warm smile to Jack, who responded with the smile he only uses for her. She felt her heart melt a little at the sight, and sighed quietly in relief at the difference between the warmth she felt now and the pain she was used to feeling.

"Well good. He's officially a Guardian now," Anna said teasingly, and Jack feigned offense.

"What, so I wasn't a Guardian before?" he asked indignantly, and Elsa and Anna giggled before the younger of the two answered him.

"Nope. You can only be a Guardian after you've protected my sister," she said, and Elsa nodded.

"Anna was technically the first Guardian, even though you were the first Guardian I resurrected, Jack. She sacrificed herself for me," she told him, and Jack huffed indignantly.

"Yeah well, I protected you from yourself and from Pitch for years," he said, and Elsa smiled warmly at him.

"You did. Which is why you'll always be my Guardian," the Snow Queen assured him, and he smiled at her.

"Either way you're a Guardian now," Anna finally admitted, and Jack smirked at her victoriously.

"Success!" he exclaimed, pumping a fist in the air, causing Elsa to laugh. Anna smiled at the rare sound, since she hadn't heard her sister laugh much while they were alive, and Elsa had rarely laughed since becoming the Moon. Jack grinned at her, and everyone else ran in to the sound of the Snow Queen laughing. Kristoff picked her up and spun her around, the way he does with Anna, before setting her back down gently. Eugene came over and hugged her, then Pabbie. Pitch walked in but stopped himself from hugging Elsa when he noticed Jack stiffen. He resolved to simply smile at the Snow Queen, and she responded with a very regal-looking nod and a smile.

"I see you're mobile again," the Nightmare King commented, and Elsa nodded in response.

"Yes, I am. Jack did something, and my heart doesn't hurt anymore. I think he cured me," she said, looking at her Guardian thankfully. He smiled and bowed slightly.

"All in a day's work, Queen Elsa," he responded with a knowing smirk, and the Snow Queen just rolled her eyes at him.

"Jackson Overland Frost, when have I ever let you call me by a royal title?" she asked him with a teasing, queen-like, authoritative tone and sparkling eyes. He chuckled softly at her.

"Whenever we decided to tease each other," he replied honestly, and Elsa was ready with a sassy comeback when Eugene cleared his throat softly, reminding them that they weren't alone. She blushed faintly and smiled at them.

"Sorry. Three centuries of not speaking to each other, and yet we still treat each other the same way we always used to," she said while playing with the tip of her braid. Jack smirked and watched her while leaning against his staff. She felt him take in all the different ways she had changed, and secretly wondered what he thought of her new look.

"It's understandable," Pitch said with a smirk, feeling a fatherly connection to the two. He was actually enjoying seeing the two winter souls interact. He'd never seen anyone treat each other the way they do, and a part of him wished he hadn't ruined their chances at a human life together. He wasn't sure what would've happened in the future, though, and a bigger part of him feels like they deserve an eternity together, not just a human's lifespan. They've both gone through too much in their lives to not get everything they deserve.

"Thanks," Elsa replied with a smile. She noticed Jack tense up slightly and went to stand closer to him. She reached out so their fingertips brushed together, and felt butterflies in her stomach when he closed the distance between their hands and intertwined their fingers. He was still tense, and there was frost crawling along his staff, but he was able to smile at her slightly.

"Anyway, what happened? Besides that Jack saved you, obviously. You never answered my question," Anna asked, watching the two. Elsa took a breath before looking at each of them.

"In my dream, I saw Medusa. It wasn't pretty," Elsa said. Everyone stayed quiet for a moment to take it all in, before Sandy created an image over his head that Pitch—surprisingly enough—was able to translate.

"What exactly happened in your dream, or nightmare?" he asked her. She looked over at Jack to see what his reaction would be, and while she could see in his blue eyes that he was uncomfortable with Pitch asking that question, he wanted to know what happened as much as they did. She sighed and nodded.

"I was out on the balcony of my palace, watching all of you do your jobs and keep the children believing. Pabbie was helping the children sleep. Anna was flying around collecting teeth with Faylinn and the other mini fairies. Kristoff was riding around on Sven, and Eugene was painting with an eight-year-old Sophie. Pitch was using his abilities to make scary things more fun. Olaf was running around in the snowy areas bringing joy to the children there, and Jack had snuck into my palace when I was watching over the others. We talked and teased each other, but all of a sudden I couldn't move. I watched as white snakes came out from behind me, and bit Jack…" she trailed off, not wanting to go any further than that. Everyone listened intently, and when she finished, Jack squeezed her hand reassuringly. She looked up at him and he smiled at her, and she smiled back when she instantly recognized it as her smile.

"We won't let that happen, Elsa," Kristoff promised, meaning what happened to Jack.

"Yeah, you already lost him once. We won't lose him again," Eugene agreed, and Jack smirked.

"Aww, you do care," he teased the large Easter Bunny, earning himself a glare. Everyone laughed, however, and the glare didn't last long.

"Listen you bloody show pony, we only care because we know how much you mean to Elsa. If you ever let her get hurt, we would all make sure you would wish you were never reborn," Eugene warned as Elsa rolled her eyes, and Kristoff suppressed his laughter long enough to speak up.

"Yeah, we'll send Anna after you. Remember what she did to Hans when he tried to kill her and Elsa?" he asked, barely hiding a smirk, and Jack's eyes widened slightly. Everyone burst into another fit of laughter at the sight, and eventually Jack joined in.

"Anyway," Elsa began once the laughter died down, "I think we may need reinforcements for this fight."

"More reinforcements? I thought you got Pitch to help with this?" Eugene asked indignantly, probably worried that she'll recruit the groundhog.

"Yes, more reinforcements. I did recruit Pitch to help, and I know he will, but after that nightmare, I still feel like we need help. I've never met Medusa, but she was able to cripple me and make me unable to even leave my ice palace without pain, all without me realizing it was her," she said, and everyone nodded in understanding. She had a point, after all.

"But who would join us?" Jack asked, and Elsa smiled slightly.

"Do all of you remember mine and Anna's cousin Merida?" she asked them, and everyone's eyes widened. Even Pitch knew who Merida was, because her fears were always very unique. To be fair, everyone in Elsa's family had unique fears, but Merida's were, different.

"Fiery Merida DunBroch?" Jack asked in surprise, and Elsa just nodded.

"The very same," she told him, and Jack smirked slightly.

"How could I forget her?" he asked, and Elsa glared at him teasingly.

"You forgot me," she reminded him, and his cheeks began to turn red.

"Y-yeah well, t-that was because, because, because my brain was messed up from being frozen in a lake for a hundred years," he stammered, and Elsa smirked inwardly.

"It was eighteen years, Jack," she informed him.

"My brain was messed up from being frozen in a lake for eighteen years," he tried again. Elsa rolled her eyes while the others laughed, but Eugene frowned slightly.

"What would she be, though?" he asked, bringing them all back to the topic at hand, and Elsa thought for a minute.

"Her entire life she fought to change her fate, so she'd be the Guardian of Fate," Elsa explained.

"She could also be Cupid," Anna piped up, and Eugene snickered quietly.

"Merida? Cupid? The only way I see that fitting is because of her bow and arrow skills. Besides, isn't Elsa Cupid?" he said, but Elsa thought about it.

"No, Anna's right. Cupid is generally associated with young, puppy love, not necessarily permanent or true love. Cupid helps people experience love, without it being the real thing. Merida didn't want to marry too young, despite her mother trying to pressure her into it. She wanted to enjoy being young. She was always causing trouble because she didn't think things through, much like Cupid does in the legends. She taught everyone that falling in love, or being forced into love, too young wasn't a good thing. So Merida would be reborn as the Guardian of Fate and the Spirit of Youth, or young love, making her Cupid," the Snow Queen explained, and everyone's mouths formed little round 'o' shapes.

"Well, that makes sense, but you said reinforcements, as in plural. Who else?" Eugene asked, almost hopefully, and Elsa immediately felt guilty. She knew he was waiting for Punzie to come back, but it wasn't time yet. Sophie would remember her past life when she turned 18, and would become the Guardian of Health and the Spirit of Summer, but that couldn't happen for another thirteen years. Eugene, unfortunately, would just have to wait. Instead of answering him, Elsa turned to Jack.

"Jack, do you remember the guy from my coronation that Emma was dancing with? The tall one who was missing a foot?" she asked him, and he nodded.

"Of course. That was the guy that I thought was going to take my baby sister away," he said protectively, and Elsa smiled at the memory.

"His name was Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. He was the son of the chieftain of Berk, and was a dragon trainer. He did a lot of stupid things, but they were all brave things that the rest of his tribe were too afraid to do. He ended up marrying Merida after you died. He was courageous though, and was incredibly smart," she said, and Jack's eyes widened slightly. He hadn't realized that he had missed so much while he was dead.

"So, he's going to be Guardian of what…?" Kristoff spoke up, but Pitch answered for her.

"He'll be the Guardian of Courage. He has his fears, yes, but he was always strong enough mentally to overcome them. He got hurt a lot because of that, including losing his foot, but he was brave. He never let himself be afraid of anything his tribe was afraid of," the newly appointed Guardian of Fear explained. Elsa nodded at him.

"Pitch is right. He'll be the Guardian of Courage and the Spirit of Change. He changed all but one mind of the people in his tribe when he learned how to train a dragon," she told them, and Jack nodded in understanding.

"So, is that everyone?" Eugene asked, and Elsa heard a trace of longing in the Guardian of Hope's voice.

"For now, yes," she sighed, and Eugene just nodded. "I'm sorry, Eugene. It's just not her time yet," she apologized.

"It's fine," he told her flatly.

"Hey, Eugene, why don't you go play with Sophie? You could teach her how to paint!" Anna suggested happily, and he just kind of stared at her.

"You want me to teach her the very skill Punzie taught me?" he asked her incredulously.

"I think it's a good idea," Kristoff pointed out and Pabbie nodded his agreement.

"I don't see how it could hurt," Elsa and Jack said at the same time, causing everyone to laugh.

"Well, alright," Eugene finally gave in, and left through his tunnels with a sigh.

"Okay, what was that all about?" Pitch asked, and Elsa smiled.

"I don't know why you all jumped in—I guess it was because Anna started it, and she's the only one who knows—but Sophie is actually Rapunzel. She lived too long to become a Guardian right away, but I figured having her grow up as Eugene's biggest believer would work out wonderfully. She'll never stop believing in him, and as she gets older, she'll act more and more like Rapunzel, until she turns 18. That's when she'll be able to remember who she was, and will become Punzie again. He doesn't know though, because I want to surprise him," she said, and all of the guys smiled at her.

"Of course," Kristoff said quietly.

"That's why the Easter Bunny is Sophie's favorite," Jack said happily.

"I should've realized it sooner," Pitch said, and Anna smirked as she turned on him.

"Okay, you couldn't even figure out who we were. How would you have figured out who she was?" the Guardian of Memories questioned him.

"Yeah well, she looks almost exactly like she used to," he said, and Elsa smirked.

"So does Jack. He just changed his hair and eye color," she told him, and the Spirit of Winter chuckled softly.

"She has the same fears…?" Pitch tried, obviously giving up. They all just rolled their eyes.

"Pitch, you never would've realized it. Eugene hasn't even figured it out yet. So no one tell him, or Olaf. Olaf doesn't know either because he'll accidentally tell Eugene," she warned, and her family agreed. Jack, however, had a smile on his face.

"Olaf?" he asked, and Elsa smiled.

"Yeah. He joined us after Arendelle was invaded. Up until then he had been helping the royal family by being moral support and explaining what had happened since my coronation, but when the Southern Isles took over, I was worried that they would hurt him so I brought him to the moon with me," she explained. Jack's smile only grew.

"I want to see him! I haven't seen him in forever," he said, and Elsa laughed at his childlike outburst. It was so like Jack to get excited over something like that, and she was glad she got to see it again.

"He's in the moon right now, watching out for any threats, but I'll send for him," she promised, and a goofy grin grew on Jack's face.

"Yes!" he cheered, and Elsa laughed. She didn't even notice her sister, brother-in-law, grandfather-in-law, and friend leave until she heard the door click shut quietly.

She smiled and recreated the snow couch for under the window, and the two sat down together. They sat in a comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying being together. When Jack was about to find the nerve to ask her something, however, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Elsa called in the direction of the door, and Anna flew in quickly.

"Hey, Jack, we have something for you," the Tooth Fairy said slowly, and Elsa and Jack shared a confused look.

"You do?" they asked at the same time. Anna smirked slightly before nodding and flying over to the two.

"Yeah, we do. We didn't open it, but it just arrived and it had your name on it," she told them, and held out a small, blue, frost-covered scroll. There was a tag tied to it, holding the scroll closed, with Jack's name on it in choppy, angular cursive. His brow furrowed as he took the scroll from her, and Elsa watched as he opened it with a cautious, almost reverent precision. He scanned it carefully with one eyebrow raised high on his forehead.

"It's from Peri," he said slowly, and Elsa's eyes widened slightly.

"What does she want?" she asked, and he scanned the writing again.

"She wants Anna, Kristoff, Pabbie, Eugene, Pitch, and I to go visit her. She said she wants to apologize for how the breakup went and make sure we're all on good terms," he said slowly, and Anna flew towards the door.

"I'll go let the others know," she said, and flew out the door, leaving the two winter souls alone once again.

"Do you think we should go?" Jack asked the Queen sitting next to him quietly, playing with the invitation before tucking it into the pocket of his hoodie. She stared out the window for a moment in thought before locking her wintery gaze with his.

"Well, I can't go. She can't see me, and she doesn't know I exist, so I'll have to watch from the Moon. But I won't stop you from going. She was your girlfriend, after all, so you have every right to go get an apology from her. Just be careful. If Medusa was able to attack me, I don't want to think about what she could do to you," she told him with a slight shiver. He took her hand in his and squeezed it reassuringly, giving her a small, mischievous smile. It was different from the one he saved for her, the one that gave her butterflies, but it made her feel safe.

"We will be. I promise you that I won't let Medusa harm any of us," he swore to her, and she smiled.

"I believe in you," she told him, and watched happily as his deep blue eyes lit up.

"Thank you. I believe in you, too," he said, and Elsa began to wonder if those words meant so much more than they seemed. Whether they did or not, she felt butterflies in her stomach, and smiled brightly at him.

"Thank you," she said, and he squeezed her hand once more before standing and pulling her up with him.

"Come on. We should probably see how the others reacted to the news of Periwinkle's invitation," he told her, not letting go of her hand. Elsa smiled slightly as a strange warmth spread through her body. She squeezed his hand lightly, and the two walked out to join their family.

So they're making plans for two new Guardians, and heading to Peri's home. What do you think will happen? And do you like the titles chosen for Merida and Hiccup? Tell me in your review!

Anyway, thanks for reading! Snowflakes of love and fun to you all!
