Hi guys! Hope you enjoy this chapter, I actually have a few times popping around in my head, thanks to WritersElemental. Thank you so, so much for your advice, you honestly have no time how much that helped me. :)
Wildwolfwind: I'm glad you're enjoying the story and you like it, I just wanted to answer what you said. If you're talking about me using the '&' symbol in the summary instead of actually spelling out 'and', that is because when you're writing a summary for a story on Fanfiction, Fanfiction only gives you a certain amount of space to write and I couldn't fit everything so I had to abbreviate. I honestly hate abbreviating and not actually being able to write 'and', but I had no other choice. Sorry about that. Hope you continue to enjoy the story though. :)
Oh! Plus I wanted to mention how weird, kinda funny, how it is that while I'm writing this and all, in New York (where I live) we're going to be practically having a snow storm and the weather is going to be below 15 degrees... this should be fun... and cold xD Good news, I love the cold and that means with all the snow we're having (10 inches? Not sure, but there's going to be a lot, lol)... I get to... build... a snowman! (I'm going to attempt to build Olaf, wish me luck!) Haha xD
Thank you all so very much for your wonderful reviews, for following, favoriting, and, most importantly, for reading! I greatly appreciate it, thank you!
Please leave a comment/review letting me know what you think of it, it would mean so much to me, thanks! :)
Happy New Years, everyone! ^_^
I OWN NOTHING; I DO NOT OWN FROZEN OR/AND RISE OF THE GUARDIANS.
"Control." Jack Frost says in slow, stern voice. He is in his fighting stance as he stares at the beautiful woman a few feet in front of him, standing in her own fighting position.
Elsa pushes a lock of her platinum hair behind her ear so it's out of her face and she takes a deep breath, narrowing her eyes at the Guardian, and nodding her head. She repeats after him, only in a quieter and weaker tone, "Control."
"No," Jack frowns, shaking his head, "you have to say it with emotion, power! Control!" He practically screams the word 'control' as he slams his left foot hard on the floor.
The snow continues to fall around them and Elsa has to blink the snowflakes off her eyelashes so she can have a better look at Jack, "Fine, control!"
"Better, you're almost there, but not quite yet. You need to feel the power in yourself and then unleash it. You need to have control over your voice way before you get anywhere near having control over your emotions, power, or whatever else, 'kay?" Jack tries to explain with a small shrug to his shoulder, "Now, try it again."
Sighing, Elsa sucks in a deep breath and yells a bit louder, but not with all her might, "Control!"
"Control."
"Cooooontrol."
"Elsa, control."
"That's what I'm saying! Control!"
"Not with enough power in your voice, though!"
"…"
"Elsa." Jack raises an eyebrow, "Control."
"Argh! This isn't working, Jack!" Elsa groans, clearing getting frustrated. "My powers don't listen to me! I have absolutely no control."
Jack folds his arms across his chest, frowning, "Yeah, and that's exactly why we're doing this and-"
"And nothing!" Elsa snaps, throwing her hands in the air, "Nothing is working. I'm completely hopeless!" She stamps her foot hard on the ground, but without realizing it, as her foot hits the mountain ground, snow rises and ice shards shoot right at Jack.
His eyes widen and, thinking fast, the Guardian ducks and rolls out of the way. Of course, as attempts to roll out of the way, he slips on a sheet of ice, stumbling backwards and rolling down in the snow until his back hits against a tree.
Elsa's piercing blue eyes widen and her hands fly up to her mouth, a gasp leaving her lips, "Oh my gosh, Jack!"
She quickly runs to his side, just in time to see him managing to stand up back on his feet. He eyes her, raising an eyebrow, and rubbing the back of his head, "How many more times do you plan on trying to kill me tonight?"
"Technically, you can't die, considering you're immortal and such." Elsa says with a guilty smile as she tries to joke to make it less serious, but when he just narrows his eyes at her, she frowns, pouting, "Okay, that wasn't my fault. You provoked me!"
"What?!" The Guardian asks with wide, confused eyes, "Whoah, do not spin this around on me. You're the one who is trying to kill me with your powers. You should be licensed as a Guardian Hunter."
Elsa rolls her eyes, laughing, "Oh come on, you're being ridiculous."
All day and night Jack has been trying to teach Elsa how to really control her powers and handle her emotions, but it hasn't been going exactly as planned. Elsa is having a hard time with it and poor Jack Frost almost lost both of his eyes, his nose, his legs, and many other body parts from Elsa flinging unexpected ice shards at him.
"Oh, am I?" Jack asks with a small, challenging smile on his lips, "How many times have you almost decapitated a part of my body off now exactly?"
"Jack-" The Snow Queen tries to say as she holds back her laugh, but he shakes his pointer finger at her, "Nuh-uh, how many? Two hundred and four, was it?"
"No!" She quickly corrects him, still laughing, "It was only two hundred and one."
The Guardian of Winter just shakes his head, laughing, "Okay, I think we had enough for one night. I think we should end this training before I really do end up missing an eyeball."
"Oh, you're just overreacting." Elsa says, folding her arms across her chest and smirking.
Jack rolls his ice color eyes at her, grinning as he says to her, "Uh-huh, let's see how you like it when I fling a bunch of sharp ice pieces at you, aiming mostly at your face."
"So," She begins, changing the subject, "What would you like to do?"
"How about… fireworks?" He smiles as the idea pops into his head.
"Fire… what?" Elsa's eyebrows knit together as she tilts her head slightly to the side, looking up at him with confusion written all over her pale face.
"Please tell me you heard of fireworks." Jack's eyes widen for a brief second, but when she nods, he lets out a sigh of relief, "Oh, okay, good."
She laughs, "I know what they are, just surprised you suggested them out of nowhere. Besides, I don't think we could."
"Why not? It's night, which is a perfect time for fireworks and-" He starts to explain, but Elsa cuts him off, "And it's a blizzard of snow out with a bunch of snow clouds covering the sky. I don't think we'd be able to see them and we don't even have fireworks. Plus, there's no occasion."
Jack shrugs his shoulders, "Who says we need an occasion? We're… okay, how about this, we're celebrating the fact that we found each other and we're not so lonely anymore?"
"A bit cheesy, but I like it." She smiles and nods her head, "And the sky?"
"Well," He rubs the back of his neck, "I can fly to different places, ya' know. So, we could go somewhere else where there aren't any snow clouds scattered across the sky. Plus, I know just the perfect place to get fireworks."
Debating this for a few seconds, Elsa rolls her eyes and finally nods her head in agreement, "Okay, let's do this then." She laughs as he picks her up in his arms and spins her around, hugging her tightly against him, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Now, let's go!" Jack says with a wide grin as he takes Elsa's hand, "Get on my back and I'll fly us to the place."
Her eyes widen for a split second and she nervously rubs her upper arm, looking down at her feet, "Um, Jack?"
"Yeah?" He asks, his eyebrows knitting together as she suddenly froze. "You okay?"
"Yes… well, not really." She sighs, "I know I told you this a while ago, but it's just… I'm scared to fly. I know you'll make sure we're okay and all, but I'm just… nervous. I'm sorry, it sounds stupid and-"
He cuts her off right in the middle of her sentence, "It doesn't sound crazy or stupid at all. Elsa, how do you think I felt at first? Yeah, it was pretty scary, but once you get the hang out it and used to it, it's amazing, I promise you. Guardian promise, alright?"
She bites her lip and looks back up with him with wide, fearful eyes, "You promise?"
He takes a step closer to her, bends his head down so he can plant a gentle kiss on her lips. After a second he pulls away to lean his forehead against hers, "Let it go, remember?"
She grins at him and doesn't waste another second before climbing onto his back and taking off into the sky. She clings onto him at first, but once they're up in the air, Elsa looks down below, seeing her large ice castle in the distance and Arendelle far down below. She smiles and rests her head in the crook of his neck, smiling widely, "You were right… it is amazing up here."
He doesn't respond, just smiles as he flies through the clouds until he reaches above them, where Elsa can look up and see all the shining starts in the night sky that were hidden behind the clouds.
They fly around until he reaches a part of Norway where it's not snowing and there is not a cloud in the sky. He lands them by a small lake with a wooden cabin not too far away from where they are. He smiles as he feels Elsa climb off his back and spin around, admiring the beauty of where they landed.
A few mountains are seen in the distance behind the forest trees that are scattered across the land behind the lake they are standing in front of. The lake isn't frozen, which has been a long time since Elsa's seen one that wasn't frozen in ice. She smiles as a cool breeze hits her skin.
It's been a while since she felt weather besides the freezing cold and snow. As much as she loves the cold weather and all of the snow, sometimes, it's nice to be away from it and admire the other temperatures, such as this one, where it's not freezing, but not too warm- it's cool out. It's perfect out.
"This place is beautiful." She breaths out as she walks over to the lake, kneels down, and runs her fingers through the water, smiling at the warm touch. "You've been here before?"
He nods his head as he walks up behind her, "Yeah. I came here a few times to give it snow during the wintertime."
"From living on the mountain and realizing what I did to Arendelle, I almost completely forgot it's the summer time." She sighs, "Wow… I really need to fix this eternal winter I created before it's too late."
He kisses the top of her head and lays his staff on the ground, "I'll be one second, wait here."
Elsa nods her head, keeping her eyes locked with the clear waters of the lake. She sits down, taking off her heels that are made out of ice and dipping them slowly into the water, sighing happily at the nice feeling the water gives her.
Only a few minutes later Jack Frost skips back over to her, "Got the fireworks! You ready?"
Elsa raises an eyebrow at him, smiling at his words, "That was fast. So, you know how to light them?"
"300 years of living, I think I learned how to, especially on the Fourth of July when I got bored and forced one of the other Guardians to help me light them. It was quite fun actually." Jack grins, "Now, let's do this."
He gets everything set up and glances over his shoulder one last time to smile back at Elsa, who is sitting down by the lake with her feet still in the water, and then he lights the fireworks, sending them darting into the air.
Jack sits down beside Elsa, dipping his bare feet into the water, and looking up at the sky. Elsa looks up at the night sky as she leans her head on Jack's shoulder, his head resting on top of hers.
They both watch as the fireworks explode in the sky; different colors sparkling as they light up the once dull sky. Different hues and shapes flash above, making the once black sky change from pinks, to purples, to reds, to blues, to greens, to silvers, and so on. The flashing lights with the loud noise of the fireworks exploding in the sky are absolutely breath taken.
"Wow…" Elsa whispers as she turns her head to press a gentle kiss to Jack's cheek.
He blushes, but instead of responding, the Guardian of Winter only smiles as he looks back up at the sky, enjoying the moment with the Snow Queen- his Snow Queen.
When they run out of fireworks, Elsa goes to climb on Jack's back, but he stops her. He takes her hands in his and grins down at her. He swallows the lump that suddenly formed in his throat, "Elsa, I love you."
She stares up at him with a blank expression at first before her shocked face breaks into a wide smile and her eyes sparkle, her own fireworks going off, "I love you, Jack Frost."
The fireworks were the most beautiful thing he has ever seen, second to Elsa- she is the most beautiful sight he has ever laid eyes on. She's beautiful- inside and out and he knows, one day, she'll be able to control her emotions and powers and fix this eternal winter she put on Arendelle.
She stands up on her tippy toes to press a gentle kiss to his lips, sharing a short, sweet, passionate kiss with him before pulling away with a smile, "Let's go home, yeah?"
He nods his head and helps her climb on his back so he can take off in the night sky once more, flying under the thousands of shining stars during this cold, but sweet night.
