You couldn't help but smile as you and Jack soared through the air, hand-in-hand, hollering and screaming with joy as you rode against the wind. You couldn't believe all this joy could radiate off of one single person. But now it certainly made sense to you on why he was the Guardian of Fun.
"Thanks so much for cheering me up!" Jack spoke up, letting go of your hand and circling around you, chuckling. "By the way, what's your name?"
"YN," you replied, smiling. Then you looked around to make sure you were alone. "Can I confess something?" Jack nodded. "I don't know where I came from. I've always wanted to know. Lately, I've been having these visions, but they don't make sense, even though they always involve the same people. Do you know how I can find out?"
He smiled his famous snow-white smile. "Of course! Tooth's the Guardian of Memories. I'm sure she has your's stored somewhere. But we'll have to sneak in and get them. I'm not on good terms with the Guardians right now. They've accused me of something I didn't do."
You nodded, ignoring the weird feeling trying to rise. He grabbed your hand and you two sped off into the air. You traveled all the way to Europe before you reached the Tooth Palace on the side of Mount Everest. Being a Guardian, he knew all of the secret routes.
"What times were those memories from?" he asked.
"Colonial America," you replied.
"Hey," he chuckled. "That's the time frame I came from."
After searching for a while, you found a tooth box with the picture of a girl who looked like you, except with HC hair and EC eyes.
"Go ahead," Jack smiled. "I'll keep watch."
You nodded, uncertain but excited. You were finally going to have your answers. You gasped as memories filled your head. There were some with you and the boy doing laundry together. There were some with you and the boy and Pippa having fun. There were some with you and your parents. But the most haunting memory began playing, and the words the boy and Pippa's father said haunted you.
"He's gone," he had said. "He fell through the ice saving Pippa."
It showed how you died and became a winter spirit - by falling asleep, swallowed in your heartbreak and pain, out in the cold winter.
Then you spoke his name.
Jack ...
You were brought back into reality, seeing Jack at the door, watching for trouble. And then it hit you like a ton of bricks.
"Jack?" you asked nervously.
"Yes?" he replied, not looking at you.
"How did you become Jack Frost?" you said, your voice silently lower in volume.
"I fell into a pond during wintertime," he sighed. "Saving my sister from falling into the ice."
Your eyes widened. "What was her name?"
"Pippa," he seemed lost in memories as he said her name.
And you dropped your teeth box, making the teeth inside rattle against the box. Jack turned to you with a worried expression.
"You okay?"
"No," was all you could whisper.
You covered your mouth, taking in Jack's features. They were the same as that boy in your memories. And he died the same way. And he lived in the same time period, dying in the same place at the same age as you. You began shaking your head.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked, taking a step closer, but you shot into the air.
"I'm sorry, Jack," you held back tears. "I did something horribly wrong. I-I have to go."
And then you shot off, leaving your confused, past lover behind.
