Day 3. Enjoy~

Melody grabbed a pouch of pop tarts from the box before heading outside to face the day. She needed to go Christmas shopping because she has yet to get anything for anyone. She knew what she was getting everyone except a certain spirit that has become her best friend recently, but she hasn't had time to get anything done. She blamed Jack Frost for not getting it done yesterday after she had gotten home from the park.

Melody glanced up as the store she was standing in front of and grinned. She was standing in front of a build-a-bear. She decided to make Sophie a bunny because Jamie had told her that Sophie's favorite Guardian was the Easter bunny. She had him tell every little detail on what he looked like so it would be perfect for Sophie.

She was amazed that when she walked out of the store that she held a plush bunny that looked exactly what Jamie had described to her. With a grin she moved on to Jamie. She went to the book story and grabbed different fairy tells about his hero's and a few about fictional characters that he was obsessed with. She saw what was supposed to be a plush version of Jack Frost and grabbed it for Jamie as well.

"Two down, three to go," Melody told herself out loud. She went into a cooking store and grabbed new backing pans and two cookbooks for her aunt before moving on to an outdoor store for her uncle. Her uncle liked to take her and Jamie out camping when he could, which wasn't very often.

"Now for Jack," Melody groaned. What would you get a winter spirit that has been around for three hundred years? She looked around in the stores but couldn't figure out what to get him. She spotted a lot of things that reminded her of him, but it didn't seem something that he would keep with him for years to come. She glanced in the store and noticed at allowed you to personalize jewelry. She walked in and spotted a snowflake charm.

"Can I get that snowflake charm personalized with four names," She asked the guy behind the counter.

"Sure can," he gave her a warm smile.

"Um can one side say Jamie and Sophie while the other says Melody and Jack?" She questioned him.

"I'll have it done by tomorrow," the man replied to her. Melody thought Jack would like it because now he would always remember them even when they're gone from this world.

Melody grinned with prized presents before moving toward her home. She wasn't watching where she was going and stepped on an icy patch on the sidewalk. She fell and her presents landed by her. She heard a familiar laughter and grinned. She tried to stand but a sharp pain went through her left leg and she fell back to the ground. She felt panic raise in her chest as she tried to stand again.

"Melody! Are you OK," Jack asked as he came to her side. He thought she was pulling his leg on the first try but now he wasn't so sure. He didn't think she would hurt herself when she slipped on an icy patch he made when a different shopper had gone by. Sure they fell but they didn't get hurt!

"My ankle hurts," Melody looked up at him. She grabbed the hand Jack held out for her. He grabbed her bags and helped her limp all the way back to the house he knew was Jamie's.

"I'm sorry I made you slip and fall," Jack whispered to her. If he hadn't made that stupid icy patch then Melody wouldn't be in pain.

"Don't worry about it Jack," Melody grinned. "I know you just wanted me in your arms." Melody and Jack both laughed. Jack knew Melody was kidding because they were only best friends and probably would be nothing more than that.

When they arrive in front of the house Jamie rushed out to greet them, but he noticed that Melody wasn't walking on her own.

"Mel what's wrong," Jack look worried. He knew his cousin wasn't use to walking through snow and ice since she's going to college in Texas.

"Oh I just slipped and hurt my ankle. I was just lucky Jack was in the area to help me," Melody grinned at the young boy. Jack was glade that Melody didn't blame him, but he knew it was his fault even though she didn't blame him.

"Thank you Jack," Jamie smiled at him as they walked into the house. His parents were already at work again.

"Jamie why don't you and Jack go play outside," Melody suggested making Jamie's eyes light up as he pulled Jack out the door.

"But what about you and Sophie," Jamie asked as Sophie made her appearance. Melody grinned at the little girl with her fairy wings.

"I'm sure Soph and I can entertain ourselves unless you two want to take her with you," Melody replied as Sophie jumped around the room.

"Sure we can take Sophie, so you won't have to worry about her getting into something," Jamie grinned before grabbing his sister's hand.

"I don't want the little ankle biter to come with us," Jack stated as Jamie and Sophie joined him at the front door.

"Oh come on Jack, Melody's hurt. Do you really want to leave Sophie here with her," Jamie gave Jack a pleading look.

"Why can't I get the Easter Kangaroo to watch her," Jack asked.

"Easter Bunny! Hop! Hop! Hop," Sophie let go of Jamie's hand and stared jumping around.

"Go get the Easter Bunny," Jamie sighed watch Jack leave.

"No worries Jamie. I'm sure it won't take Jack long to come back," Melody gave him a smile before a whole opened in the room and a six foot rabbit jumped out. "You know he does look a little like a kangaroo," Melody said as she watched the rabbit turn and glare at her.

"I know right," Jack grinned as he showed up behind her.

"You told her to say that didn't you!" Bunny glared at him.

"Surprisingly he didn't. You're tall like a kangaroo and the accent it helping but the tail gives you away," Melody mumbled hiding behind Jack.

"Are you scared of him," Jack asked when he realized Melody was using him for a shield.

"I've had bad experiences when it comes to rabbits. Sure they look cute but they are full of pure evil," Melody mumbled as Jack put her back on the couch. Jack shook his head at her before looking at Bunny.

"So you'll watch her for a little bit,' Jack asked.

"Sure, I'll watch the little ankle biter," Bunny left with Sophie. Jack and Jamie looked back at Melody before she motioned for them to get going.
