The Guardians watched as Jack walked on top of a roof top, tapping it a few times out of boredom to make a few patches of ice on it and he looked down at a couple of teenagers having a snowball fight. He sighed, he had stopped trying to be seen a long time ago. Sure, he tried something a few times here and there, but it always failed. He saw a teenager with short brown trying to hit the others, but to no success, he had a really bad aim.
Jack smirked mischievously, he had an idea.
"Oh, I know that face, this is gonna be good." Bunny said with a smile.
He flew down gently on the ground and went behind the aimless kid. The teenager scrunched up some snow together and closed one eye, trying to aim, and threw. The snowball was going a couple of feet at the right of a brown haired girl, but Jack whispered a few words to the wind and the snowball shot to the left, then smacked in the girl's back.
"Very clever trick." North commented.
The boy looked confused, but then a smile stretched on his face. "Yes! Got you Pippa!"
The Guardians froze. "Jack's sister?" Tooth said with wide eyes. "Oh my gosh, and he doesn't even remember her! Now she looks like at least 5 years older!"
Pippa turned around, a sad smile on her face. "Ha ha, you got me Jimmy, great job." She said without enthusiasm.
Jimmy sighed. "Look, it's been years since your brother d- I mean is gone. I've tried everything to make you smile again, why wont you smile?"
Pippa wrapped her arms around her chest. "Because it's my fault! I wanted to go skating, I didn't check if the ice was solid enough! I only wanted to have some fun, and look where that led me..."
"Oh, she blames herself the poor girl..." Tooth said sadly.
Jimmy smiled sadly and led Pippa away from the snowball fight. "I know that you blame yourself, and I understand. But does that mean that you don't have to smile anymore?Do you think that your brother would want you to mourn his death for the rest of your life? I think that he would've wanted you to keep laughing and having fun, not hide in your house and only come out when you need it. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Pippa nodded, tears in her eyes. "Thanks Jimmy, you've really helped me these past few years." She smiled and wrapped her arms around Jimmy's chest who hesitantly returned the action.
Jack grimaced. "Ugh, too much emotion!" He complained.
Bunny snorted. "Yeah, that's like him alright."
Jack twirled his fingers around and concentrated then two snowflakes appeared and Jack waved them towards Jimmy and Pippa. The snowflakes flew quietly to them and placed themselves graciously on the tip of their noses.
The two of them gasped and a smile stretched on their face.
Jack grinned and flew down the house to swipe up some snow and throw it at Jimmy, hitting him square on the head.
Pippa snorted, then burst out laughing. "Your face! You should see your face!" She gasped out between laughing fit.
Jimmy smiled and dumped a handful of snow on Pippa's head. She gasped, a smile on her face and a snowball fight began. Jack laughed and joined their fight, chucking snowballs at them even though they couldn't see him.
North smiled. "He always has that effect on people, make them smile after a hard day's work of after a sad day."
Bunny grinned. "You could almost say that he's part of the group."
Tooth sighed. "Yes, but why did we ever ignore him? Now we can really see how lonely he really was..."
After ten minutes of snowballs in the face and fun times, Pippa and Jimmy collapsed on the snow, panting and laughing. Jack beamed, happy at the sight of them laughing in the snow. He flew up, looking as Pippa and Jimmy hugged again and promised to meet again soon, then went their separate ways, Pippa looking considerably happier than before.
The wind carried Jack to the Burgess and he landed gently on the icy surface.
Jack sighed contently. "I know that they couldn't see me, but that was fun!" He looked up at the full moon that shinned in the dark sky. "Look, I know that I tell you the same thing every night, so I don't really need to repeat it but could you at least give me one little sign that you're listening? Because it feels a little strange to talk to someone if I don't even know if he's listening. Not that anybody ever replies." He mumbled the last part to himself and the Guardians frowned sadly.
Jack looked hopefully at the moon, who didn't give any sign at all that it was listening. Jack rolled his eyes, as if he expected the MiM to do that. "Yeah, that's right. Ignore me like you did for five years, I'm sure another five won't make a difference." He said harshly then walked out of the lake and plopped down on a bank of snow at the base of a thick tree. He crossed his arms over his chest, clutching his staff with one hand, and leaned against the tree, closing his eyes and trying to find some sleep.
"Poor kid," Bunny said sadly. "He doesn't know that it'll be much more than five years that he'll be ignored like that."
Jack was nearly asleep when he was pulled out of his slumber by a young voice with a rich accent. "Erm, s'cuze me? Spirit in the snow?"
Jack blinked his eyes open and looked around to see if the said Spirit would just answer and let him sleep. He was surprised when he saw a blond haired kid with a letter clutched in his hand. "Hey buddy, I'm talking ta ya!"
"Y-you can see me?" Jack spluttered, his eyes wide open.
The boy looked confused. "'Course I can. Did ya by any chance see Jack Frost 'round the corner?"
Jack blinked. "Er... Yeah I do... it's me." He said slowly.
The kid looked shocked. "Wow, it's yer? I expected ya ta be... older."
"To be honest, I did too the first time I heard of him." Bunny admitted.
Jack frowned 'Is that suppose to be offending?' He seemed to think.
"How come?" Jack asked.
"Well, yer tha Spirit of Winta. Yer a seasonal Spirit, so ya have a lot of powers. Usually, Spirits a bit more... mature-looking, not that ya look immature, have that kind of power." The boy explained.
"Oh, well sorry ta disappoint." Jack said, rolling his eyes.
The boy grinned. "Heh, I have ta admit, I'm a bit surprised by how young yer are." He shook his head. "Anyways, the name's Charlie. I'm tha messenger of Motha Nature herself." He said with a bit of pride colouring his voice and he held out his hand. "Please ta meet ya."
Jack looked at it for a second and awkwardly shook his hand, as he seen a few villagers do it.
"Poor kid, he's not used to physical contact." North said in sympathy.
Charlie rubbed his hand against his trousers. "Crikey, yer cold. But I guess that I have ta expect that from tha Spirit of Winta. Oh, here's a letter from Motha Nature." He held out the letter to Jack, who took it hesitantly.
"What's it about?" Jack asked.
"Some sort of meeting I think. Only happens every three hundred years I think." Charlie replied. "Well, I best be on ma way then, good by."
He walked away and disappeared with a flash of blue before Jack could say anything. The young spirit was still shocked that someone could see him and he smiled. "If he can see me, that means that there must be others that do too!" He said excitedly. He flew up to a thick branch and sat down, carefully opening the envelope and unfolding the letter before reading out loud:
"My dear Jack Frost Spirit of Winter,
You are invited to the Meeting of the Spirits, organized by Mother Nature in order to bring together Spirits to her palace the 1st of January. The goal of this Meeting is for every guest to meet and know each other a little bit more. The only thing to do to get to the Meeting is to say 'I accept this letter, take me to Mother Nature's palace.' the morning of the Meeting and you shall be here in a matter of minutes.
I hope that you will accept this invitation and will come with no intention to cause harm, (Pitch my dear, I understand that you want to bring fear to this Meeting like you tried to do last time, but you will not be able to get pass my guards, they know every disguise that you can use and you know how dangerous a angry Spirit can be. So I suggest that you stay away please.)
The Guardians snickered when they heard that.
Sincerely, Mother Nature."
Jack finished reading the letter and he smiled in excitement. "This sounds very fun! It's only a few days away too, of course I'll come!" He whooped in delight and folded that letter, tucking it inside his pant belt. He didn't want to lose it. He took his staff and flied away, a light, happy fall of snow drifting to the ground because of his excitement. "I can't wait!" He said to himself.
"He looks so happy! Look at him!" Tooth said with a smile.
"I've never heard of a Meeting of the Spirits?" North said curiously.
Bunny rolled his eyes. "Are you a Spirit?" He asked to North.
"No, you know that yourself!" He replied.
Bunny snorted. "Well there you go! Only Spirits know of this meeting I think."
Sandy showed with his dream sand that three hundred years had passed.
"Good point Sandy." North agreed. "It's been three hundred years for us since this happened. Shouldn't there be another Meeting soon enough?"
"Probably, we should ask frostbite when we get back from this memory seeing thing." Bunny said. "Say, we're still seeing his memories from his memory box, shouldn't it be, like, not from it? Since it's sort of not his childhood right now."
"Yeah, but he has a loose tooth remember? His last I think." Tooth squealed when she said that. "Erm, sorry. So anyways, that means that his childhood memories are not entirely finished. That and he died as a child, so technically, since he's immortal, that means that he's still a child." Tooth concluded.
Bunny thought about it. "Yeah, that makes sense. So let me guess, the next memory is about Snowflake going to this Meeting?"
"I think that we're about to see." North replied just as their vision flashed white.

Sorry for the shortness, at least it's more than two thousand words! I'm already working on the next chapter, which I hope will be better than this. Oh and for you hunger games fan, my friend Wolfwithemeraldeyes is currently writing and posting chapters about Prim going to the hunger games instead of Katniss. It's great and I think that you should check it out! It's her first story, I think that it's very well written for a first story, so I think that she would appreciate if you all would maybe take a peek! Thanks again for reading this and I hope that you won't abandon me, I know that I'm hopeless at being organized and now the homework started again *sigh* so I'll try to escape it to write more chapter a bit faster. Because this chapter was FAR too late and short. I apologize for that!
Yours in demigodishness, Loks
