Chapter 2: Curiosity

Shannon woke up and sneezed, it was obvious she caught a cold from falling in the lake. "Great..." She muttered. She was about to curse winter again but remembered meeting Jack Frost. How is that possible? She had thought he was a myth. She wanted to see him again despite her current position. She wanted to see Jack again. She got up and put on her clothes and this time, she dressed warmy for the cold.

She had one goal in mind; find Jack Frost. She didn't know if what she saw yesterday was a dream or not, there was one way to find out. Find him. It was pretty much safe to say curiosity got the best of her like it always did. She went outside seeming as no one was home and she made her way to the lake. The place she met Jack Frost. She looked around and sneezed. Jack was no where to be seen. "Jack?..." She asked, looking around. Where was he? Suddenly, it began snowing. She looked and there was Jack in the sky being led home by the wind, a smile lit up Shannon's face as she realised Jack WAS real, he wasn't just some made up fairy tale. Jack landed softly on the snow. A grin appearing on his face when he saw Shannon.

"You came back" He said, Shannon nodded and sneezed. "You caught a cold?" Again, she nodded. Shannon smiled at him.

"It's good to see you again" Shannon replied, her voice sounding stuffed up from being sick. "I wanted to see you again" She added. Jack smiled and walked over.

"Really?" He asked, an amused look on his pale face. Shannon nodded. Jack smirked a little. "That's... Nice, I don't think anyone has ever said anything like that to me before." He said, lightly giving Shannon a little punch on the shoulder. Shannon smiled, seeing Jack up close like this was actually quite a sight. His silver- snow white hair, his icy blue eyes, his facial features, they were quite a sight.

Shannon sneezed again.

"You shouldn't be outside" Jack said, Shannon playfully shoved him.

"I wanted to hang out, it's just a small cold." she replied shrugging it off. Jack just laughed, putting his arms up in defeat.

"Okay, okay, I give up. We'll hang out" Jack said laughing. Shannon smiled. Suddenly, she threw a snowball at Jack who dodged it perfectly. The two began throwing snowballs at one another. Jack was having a ball, laughing and smiling as he threw snowballs at Shannon. She got hit just about every time while he rarely got hit. Shannon was also laughing even though she was losing the fight badly. Eventually the two stopped, tuckered out they both sat by a tree.

Shannon smiled at Jack who smiled back. He seemed to enjoy her company. Shannon had forgotten she was sick. "I've never had this much fun before" Shannon said with a smile on her face.

Jack grinned "Neither have I, well, I have had fun starting snowball fights and playing with kids but I've never had this much fun with someone your age before" he replied earning a giggle from Shannon. Shannon smiled as she looked into his icy blue eyes. She had never had this much fun before, let alone with the spirit of winter. He was really really cute, but she mentally shook any romantic thoughts away, it was way to early to be thinking those things. She had to get to know him more.

"Just out of curiosity..." Shannon found herself asking. "What's it like...To see the world from way up high?"

Jack grinned mischievously "Why don't you find out?"

Before Shannon could react or say anything, Jack pulled her into his arms and jumped high into the air, holding onto her ever so firmly so she wouldn't fall. Shannon didn't scream but she did however squeak in surprise as Jack got higher and higher. She was fraid of heights, making her bury her face in his chest causing him to laugh. " I'm not gonna drop you, it's fine!" Jack said. He smiled when she looked up and then down as they flew through the entire town. A smile crossed her lips seeing all the beauty fly by, it was breath taking. She looked at Jack and smiled. It occured to her that as long as she was in Jack's arms she was invisible.

...

Jack landed in front of Shannon's house. Shannon smiled as Jack set her down. She and Jack had spent the whole day together that Shannon had forgotten she had a cerfew, of course, she wouldn't care if her dad got mad at her. Tomorrow she was at her mom's house.

"See you tomorrow?" Shannon asked.

Jack nodded, "Yea, see ya"
