A/N: Well, apparently in my excitement to get this chapter up and to you guys I failed to edit the document I upload. Which contained pretty much everything I've written for this fandom. Congrats, you all just looked up my RotG skirt.

However, not all of that was ready for consumption yet and so I bring you just the second chapter of this fic.

The Big Three in the Life of Jack Frost

By Uniasus

Chapter 2

Mother Nature preferred to let the Earth do what the Earth wanted to do. Gaia was good at that. Mother Nature was really just her hired muscle. Oh, this community isn't respecting the planet, bring on the hurricane!

Sure, the seasons needed helped in their rotation, sometimes Spring was shy and would have not preferred to make an appearance. Summer and Winter were always happy for the extra time unless someone shepherded them along as they should. But Mother Nature had assigned different spirits to guide the seasons so she didn't have to worry about them. Gaia called her lazy from time to time, but Mother Nature did do work. She liked gardening. And animal husbandry. New species had to come from somewhere after all.

However, she had noticed recently Winter could use a little help. She didn't know if Old Man Winter was just getting, well, older and forgetful. Really, what was the Man in the Sky thinking when he made an old man a spirit? Old brains didn't magically get better with the gifting of spiritual powers. Or maybe there was a subtle power shift going on between the seasonal heads that resulted in the erratic lengths of Winter as of late.

Regardless, she should go looking for a new spirit to help him out. Didn't Peter Pan mention a new spirit with winter powers? She should go visit him.

Mother Nature found the new spirit idly making ice murals on the roof of a church in Russia. Drat, she forgot the name Peter told her.

"Um, hello?"

The spirit started and fell off the dome. She watched intrigued as the wind caught him. Mother Nature didn't normally see such awareness of other spirits from the wind. It wasn't actually sentient, but she supposed it had some type of rudimentary intelligence. The wind did respond to commands, but to act on it's own was a rare event.

Then again, so was the age of this spirit. Normally the Man in the Moon, or his sisters in the Sun, chose beings in the prime of their lives. This new spirit was hardly more than a child. She should have expected that, seeing as how Peter had been the first one to interact with him.

"Who are you?" The young spirit looked nervous, unused to being disturbed.

"Mother Nature, of course."

She expected the spirit to bow. When she didn't she raised an eyebrow.

"Should I know you?"

"Well, yes."

"But we haven't meet."

"You're an elemental spirit, and thus under my control. You should know your boss."

"You don't get out much, do you?"

"Ah, no." She blushed, caught acting pompous. "But had no one really told you who I am?"

"Who would? I only know Peter and I haven't seen him for about ten years."

"What? Old Man Winter hasn't introduced himself?"

"Who?"

"The spirit in charge of the season of Winter."

"Nope. You're the second spirit I've seen in the past fifty years." Fifty years, she could have sworn Peter only stopped by last week! Or maybe last month. She did need to get out more.

"Is it normal for other spirits to have travel companions?"

"Hmm?" She asked, still lost in wondering where the time had gone.

He pointed at something near her ear and she turned to see on of her constant butterflies. "Right, travel buddies. I'm a special case. I'm pretty much the most powerful spirit you'll ever meet."

"Really?" The elemental spirit in front of her leaned cockily on his staff. "Then how come I haven't heard of you, oh great powerful lady?"

She conjured a rain cloud above his head, produced a torrid storm, and then sent a bolt of lightening through his body. "Don't be a smart ass. As it is, your education is sorely lacking. That settles it, I'm taking you to Old Man Winter myself."

Mother Nature rose on the wind, the new spirit besides her. "So, what's your name?"

"All powerful, but not all knowing, huh?"

"Do you want to be electrocuted again?"

"I rather enjoyed the experience, tingles all through my body. Like being tickled."

She glared at him and set out south.

With a burst of speed, he caught up to her. "I'm Jack Frost, by the way. Now, do you think you could tell me a bit more about this idea of you controlling me?"
