I learnt my powers in three days, leaving Jack and I to have a break. He had been amazing at helping me separate my emotions from my powers and he had also helped me to fly with the wind. I can focus weather onto an individual and can also control any type of weather like snow, rain, hail, hurricanes, anything. Sometimes, I'd prank Jack whilst he slept by making wet patches around his trousers with rain to make it as though he peed himself whilst sleeping. When he found out it was me, it went into a full blown pranking war which I was lost terribly at, not being a particularly pranking-person.
Jack and I were always outside having snowball fights and causing trouble, I could not have been happier in these last four days! We went back inside, soaked in snow, and I dried us off with a warm breeze and sunshine.
"Lizzie, can I talk to you?" Jack asked me.
"Yeah, sure, what's up?"
"Well…um…Do you believe in love?" He said shyly. I laughed and shook my head.
"I don't know, I've never been in love with someone so not really. I believe you can really, really like someone but it has to be really strong to be love."
"Oh…" Jack said and turned his head.
"If I'm not mistaken," I stared at him, "I'd say that Jack Frost is speechless? Or embarrassed?! What is this sorcery? Where is the confident ass I know?" I laughed.
Jack was suddenly himself again and jumped up grinning. He walked over to an old music record player and turned it on. In an instant, the room was filled with jazz music from the 1940s and Jack turned and faced me.
"Dance with me," he said.
"Ohh, I can't dance…" I protested
"Nor can I!" He grinned and lifted me off the sofa, bringing my body close to his and holding my waist with one hand and my hand in his other. I felt a spark of electricity hit me, the feeling I always got when he touched me. Oh gosh, I really, really like Jack… We continued to spin and laugh, looking into each other's eyes as we went. Jack gently slid his second hand down to my waist pulled me closer and I placed my head on his shoulder and both my arms round his neck. We stayed like this for a while as the music slowed into a smooth, gentle pace. Jack then got my hand and spun me under his arm swiftly, picking my hand back up into his and placing his other neatly on my lower waist again. He looked into my eyes and leaned down further to my face and I noticed his breathing was deep. Is he going to kiss me? Oh gosh. Please do it, please. He became hesitant and began to move his head back. No…no! I suddenly leaned forward and crashed my lips against his and kissed him hard before pulling back. His face was stunned.
"Ah, shit. Sorry Jack, I shouldn't ha-"
"No, its fine," he said smiling. You've gone and done it now, Liz. Jack lifted up my chin and leant down again, placing a kiss on my lips. I wasted no time in kissing him back and felt as though my insides could have exploded. His hands were low on my waist and my fingers were grabbing his hair, pulling him in closer to deepen our kiss. When we finally separated, after what seemed like hours (and probably was hours),Jack lifted me up and spun me around, taking us both into the air and making us grin like absolute crack heads. We spent the whole evening talking like we usually did but this time, I lying in between his legs with my head on his chest and he was gently stroking my hair, kissing the top of my head every so often. It was a truly perfect first night together as a couple.
The week was finally over and it was time to go back to the North Pole to meet up with the other Guardians. We weren't sure whether to tell the other Guardians about our relationship or not but I assumed they had already guessed it.
"Liz, Jack, we have news." North said as we entered hand in hand. "We know Pitch's plan, he wants you, Lizzie, then he wants to bring down the Guardians. We were unsuccessful in getting the fairies back…" I heard Tooth whimper in the background and noticed that she was no longer flying.
"We think we have a plan to stop him though…" Bunny said, looking enviously at mine and Jacks interlocked fingers. Jack slightly tightened his grasp, sensing Bunnymund's jealousy, and I squeezed back in reassurance.
"Lizzie, tonight you are to stay at Bunny's. Pitch has noticed something between you and Jack and will go there first. We want to make it look as though we are protecting you from him to make him think you're weak." I nodded and Jack sighed but remained silent. "Tooth will stay here as she is too ill; Sandy has offered to care for her." Sandy gave a reassuring pat on Tooth's shoulder.
"Jack, you divert Pitch to mine and then that's when Lizzie's acting skills come in," said Bunny. "I'm sorry you have to do this, sweetie, but… We need to know more of Pitch's plan."
"Hold up, you can't make her do that, did you even see what he did to her in the memory? What the hell is wrong with you all?" Jack let go of my hand and advanced towards Bunny.
"Jack…" He turned and looked at me with a face twisted with anger and sadness. It relaxed a little bit and he took a step towards me. "It's fine, if it's for all of you, I am going to have to pretend to love him…"
"No, Liz-"
"Jack, it's fine. I got this shizz." I joked. Deep down though, I was crapping my pants. What if it goes wrong?
"I will check up on you when Pitch is asleep, Sandy can make sure he is really deeply sleeping. You can then report all you have to me." North said. I nodded in agreement and all was understood.
"As soon as we know Pitch's plan and when he will attack, Lizzie has to strike him down," Bunny said.
"He won't be expecting it from her, he thinks she is weak."
"Oh, she isn't." Jack answered. I smiled at him and held his hand, rubbing the back of it with my thumb.
