"Wow Jack," Bunny said "even at that age you believed in us."

"Yeah I guess I did," he said sadly.

"Jack you still hasn't told us why Manny would take Pippa away from you. Does something happen to her?" they asked but before he could reassure them that Pippa, to his knowledge, lived a happy brother less life the memory came.

They were standing outside of the cottage. A blanket of snow was slightly starting to melt away as they heard the cottage door open. Jack Frost stiffened as he recognized the start of the memory.

"Ok you two, be careful!" Jack and Pippa's mother called after them as they walked out the door dressed for ice skating.

"So I guess you were on the nice list at least once in your life," Bunny said making Sandy snicker but Jack paid them no attention as he tried to will his past self back inside.

"Don't worry," Jack said laughing as Pippa tried to pull him out the door. "We will!" he finished over his shoulder.

"Come on Jack I will race you to the pond!" Pippa yelled as she let go of her older brother.

"You're on little sis!" he said as he sprinted ahead of her. They raced and raced until Pippa could not see Jack any more.

"Jack! Jack wait! Where are you?" Pippa stopped running as panic took over. Jack Frost looked at her with sorrow in his eyes. He had never seen this.

"Oh Jack she is scared!" Tooth said. Just as the said it the other Jack came running through the woods.

"Pippa what is wrong?" he asked her bending down to her level.

"I couldn't see you! I thought you left me!" she yelled hugging him tightly.

"Oh Pippa," he said returning the hug, "I will never leave you. Never. I promise."

Jack wish he hadn't made that promise.

"OK." Pippa said letting go of her brother reluctantly.

"Ok," Jack said swinging his sister onto his back. "Let's go skating!"

When they all got to the pond the Guardians stared at Jack in shock.

"Isn't this were we saw Pitch last?" asked Tooth.

"Yup," said Jack.

"Man, you and Jamie live in the worst places."

"Yeah," Jack said watching as his sister skated on the ice shakily.

"Come on now Pippa!" said Jack who was almost as nimble as he was on ice mortal as he was immortal. "I know you can do better than that!" Jack closed his eyes as he skated loving the feel of the cold wind.

"You loved the ice even before you were chosen Frostbite," said Bunny.

"Yeah he is just as graceful too,"

None of the Guardians but Jack were paying attention to Pippa until they heard the loud crack.
