Chapter 6: The stranger

Jack:

He sighs as he closes eyes as the sun heats him up. It's been a long time since he actually just decided to lie down and soak up some sun. Spring was in full swing and there were flowers every where to Caroline's delight. But when she sees any bees she would jump and almost run to hide behind Jack or Sam. Sam, how he hated that name. Sam was trying to get close to Caroline, it was obvious. He would do simply rest his hand on her hips or kiss her on the cheek, it was annoying. Worst, when they were in public, sometimes people ask if Sam and Caroline were a couple. Jack would just chuckle and wrap his arm around Caroline's shoulder. "Nope, she is taken by someone else." He would say every time, but it was starting to get old.

He wanted Sam to be around less, or not around at all would be better. Suddenly a shadow blocked the sun and Jack opens one eye to see a black sneaker next to his head. "Hi Carly." Jack mutters his newest nickname for her and closes his eyes again as Caroline lays down beside him. "Why are you here? I thought you were going to be at basket ball practice." Jack chuckles and motions to his school basket ball jersey, blue and white. "I was, we stopped early today." Caroline nods and turns her head to look up at the sky. "So again why are you here?" Jack shrugs and glances over at Caroline "Cause I wanted to soak up some sun before I walk home, you know that we only have time to do homework as soon as we get home."

Caroline lightly smacks her forehead "Oh, I forgot." Jack chuckles and shakes his head "You always forget, you have been forgetting a lot lately." It was true. She forgot about all her homework that week and had it turn them in a day or so later. Caroline smiles weakly "Well...i think I got it from my mom. Right...right after my dad's funeral...she forgot a lot of things." She chocked out as she rubs at her, probably to hide the fact she was crying. But Jack already knew the signs of crying.

He reached over and pulled Caroline close to him. "Don't leave me Jack, don't leave me like Dad did." She cried against Jack's chest. Jack felt something in his hear react to her words and he pulled away a bit. "What do you mean?" He asks her feeling a little scared. "You are going to go back to being Jack Frost soon again aren't you?" Caroline looks up at him those sad eyes that Jack couldn't stand. "What? Caroline..." Jack sighs and holds her close. "I won't leave you till you want me to. I gave up being Jack frost the moment I saw you." Jack whispers into her hair.

Caroline:

I hold onto Jack's hand as we walk home. I rub the tears away from my eyes as quickly as could "What are you upset about now? I told you I was going to stay here for as long as I can." I smile at Jack as the tears continue to go down my cheeks. "I am not crying because I am upset Jack, I am so happy." Jack looks at me confused before he smiles at me and loops his arm around my waist. He kisses the tears off my cheeks and chuckles "You are such a confusing person Caroline Jones." I laugh and snuggles close to Jack. "I think that's one of the only reasons why are you still here." Jack shakes his head and smiles at me. "That and I love you with all my heart." I blush and wrap my arms around Jacks neck and kisses his cheek. "I love you too Jack." I whisper before Jack tilts my head up and his mouth presses against mine. We continue to kiss for a few minutes before Jack pulls away and holds me close as we start to walk home again.

"So what do you want for dinner?" I ask Jack as we turn onto the street to our house. "Hm...maybe that sandwich you made that one time. It has this weird looking type of pork inside of it." I giggle as Jack puts his hand in the back pocket of my jeans "You mean pulled pork sandwich?" Jack smirks and nods "Thats the one." He bumps his hip against mine and I laugh and bump my hip back against his. Suddenly a familiar sound fills the air. It was a song that I dance to with my family as a tradtion. Most of you hear it from Lilo and stich. "Jack! My family is here!" I run forward to see my uncle beating the drum and my cousins dancing in the formal clothes. I wave to them before I motion for Jack to stay where he is. I run into the house where my mother already had my skirt covering in Hawaiian flowers and bikini top. "Change quickly!" She tells me as I wrap the skirt around my waist and take my jeans off. I replace my tanktop with my red bikini top. My mom puts a red Hawaiian flower in my hair before motioning for me to join.

"Mahalo nui ia ke ali`i wahine `O Lili`ulani `o ka wo hi ku Ka pipio mai o ke anuenue na waiho'o lu'u a halikeole'e E nana na maka i ke ao malama mai Hawai`i akea i Kaua`i" My cousins and I sing as we raise our arms up into the sky. We bow to our uncle as he beats the the drum. We smile at each other as we slowly begin to move our hips. I could see our neighbors come out and clap with the beat. We do this every year before the familt reunion

"Ke Kuini o Hawai`i Ku i ka moku i ke Kalaunu Na hana a ke aloha Ma`alo Ana i ka ua lana malie I ka lani malama ho`ike Mai ana la i ka nani `O Kalakaua he inoa `O ka pua mae`ole i ka la ke kuahiwi o Mauna Kea" We move with the beat as it fills up and move our arms with the sound of the singing. Our neighbors join in. Jack smiles at me as he claps as well." Ke 'amaila i Kilauea Malamalama i wahine kapu A ka luna o Uweka huna I ka pali kapu o Ka`auea

Ea mai ke ali`i kia manu Ua wehi ka hulu o kamamo Ka pua nani a`o Hawai`i `O Kalakaua he inoa `O Kalakaua he inoa `O ka pua mae`ole i ka la Ka pua maila i ka mauna I ke kuahiwi o Mauna Kea " We slowly put our arms into the sky and slowly turn in a circle and kneels to bow to the sky.

Ke`a mai la i Kilauea Malamalama i Wahinekapu A ka luna o Uwekahuna ka pali kapu o Ka`auea Mahalo nui ia Ke Ali`i wahine 'O Lili`ulani wo ka `o hi ku

Ke Kuini o Hawai`i
Ku i ka moku i ke Kalaunu Ea mai ke ali`i kia manu Ua wehi i ka hulu o ka mamo Ka pua nani a`o Hawai`i `O Kalakaua he inoa He Inoa No Kalani Kalakaua — kulele! " My cousins and I stop our feet at the end and bow to the crowd that came to watch us. The crowd cheer and I could hear whistles. I was breathing heavily as I smile at every one. Jack runs forward and scoops me into his arms. "That was amazing!" He shouts as he spins us in a circle. I laugh and snuggle close to him. My cousins come closer and hug me, even though Jack kept a good hold on me. "Who is this? Your boy friend?" MY cousin Maria teases me as Jack sets me back down on the ground. "Yes." Suddenly my mom pulls on my arm and Jack's. "Come inside." She hisses and slams the door close. Standing in the living room was a tall bunny, a flying woman or bird, a small gold man, and a russian man. "Jack, your vacation is over, Pitch is back. He wants her." The Russian man points at me.
