Hello all! Sorry I didn't update twice this last week. It's been busy! This next week will be the same, but I promise I will post next Tuesday.

I realized after I updated that I never gave song cred, or the video I had in mind. It was Loyal by Chris Brown and the video that inspired it was watch?v=U84t3vQSzVs Check it out if you would like!

Now grab some tissues. It's backstory time!

Jack raised his hand to knock on the door, then hesitated. Come on man, you can do this. You are JACK FROST, for Pete's sake. You get any woman you want.

He knocked.

Moments later, the door opened to Punzie's smiling face. "Jack! Nice to see you. What's up?"

"I'm here to get Elsa, I'm taking her to dinner," Jack answered, smiling.

"WHAT?!" Punzie gasped. "She didn't tell us!"

Jack could see the wheels turning in Punzie's mind, as she fan-girled over the idea of Jack and Elsa going on a date.

"It's not a date though!" He said, waving his hands in front of her face.

"Mmmhmm, Sure…" Punzie answered, sarcastically smirking.

"Just, can you show me where Elsa is?"

"Yea, come in, her room is that one," she said, pointing to a door through the living room.

Jack walked up to it and knocked. He could hear some heavy dubstep seeping out the crack under the door. Interesting. Didn't peg her as the dubstep kind-of girl.

Jack waited. She didn't answer.

"She probably can't hear you over the music. That's pretty typical, especially when she doesn't want to be bothered by us." Punzie said from the kitchen. "I'd just go in."

"Alright, thanks."

Jack nervously crept the door open a crack. He could see Elsa laying on her stomach on the bed, her back facing him. Jack smirked, getting an idea.

In one fluid motion, he threw the door open, bolted across the room, and tackled her from the side, rolling her across the bed and trapping her under his arms. She squealed and covered her face. Jack was framing her face with his hands, body to the side, raised a good foot above her. He watched her peek at him through her fingers.

"Hi Princess!" He said, chirpily, as though he didn't just scare her.

Elsa pulled her hands slowly away from her eyes. "You jerk!" She quickly swiped her hand at one of his, knocking it out from under him, forcing him to collapse that way. At the same time, she pushed herself through his other arm, placing a hand on that same shoulder and flipping him over so he was on his back, rolls reversed.

She slammed a hand on his chest, staring into his startled eyes, "You scared me!"

"And I think you just got me back! Where did you learn to do that!"

Elsa lifted herself away, sitting back on the bed and grabbing her phone, turning off the music that was blasting through the speakers in her room. Jack looked up, startled again, by the abrupt stop of the music.

"Whoa! Your phone?"

"Yea, Bluetooth speakers. And I took a couple self-defense classes in high school right after… in high school. Luckily, I was pretty relaxed in here and it's been a while, otherwise, it would have been much worse for you!"

Jack laughed, "Well, I'm glad then. Punzie told me I could just come in. You ready for dinner?"

"Sure, just let me put shoes on and grab my wallet and bag."

"Nope, you can leave the wallet here. I'm paying. And wear closed-toe shoes, we are taking my motorcycle."

"Yea, you said earlier. I'm still bringing it!"

"Fine! But I'm still paying, no matter what!" Jack said, as they walked out Elsa's door. Elsa looked around. Luckily there was no one in the living area. Free!

They walked down the stairs of the dorm to the parking lot, still bantering about who will pay. Jack handed her the helmet, putting on his own. I like when she rides with me. It's like a constant hug from her! I can feel her pressed against me…

They hopped on, riding to the restaurant, Elsa clinging tightly to Jack.

This isn't too bad, Elsa thought. I actually feel safe with him driving. God, he has abs! I guess that's all that dancing.

Jack pulled up at a quaint little restaurant.

"Tony's Restaurant, Italian Cuisine," Elsa read out loud, as she took off her helmet and shook out her braid. She handed the helmet to Jack and then smoothed her hands over her hair to get rid of the frizz from the helmet.

About fifteen minutes later, the couple had ordered and were chatting.

"Alrighty Jack, you promised to tell me how you learned to dance so well."

"Well, in order to explain fully, I'm gonna have to go a bit further back. This might take a while."

Elsa propped her head on her hands, staring at Jack and smiling, showing she was ready for a long story. Jack chuckled at her response.

"Once upon a time, I was an innocent little kid . . ." Jack started, interrupted by Elsa snorting.

Jack glared at her.

"Sorry! I just couldn't believe it." Elsa said, leaning back and raising her hands in an 'I surrender' motion.

"Whatever, princess. Just let me tell my story!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Once upon a time, I was a semi-innocent little kid living in a shadier side of town with my parents and little sister, Kathrine. Little did I know, my parents used to be involved in the gangs of the city, my mother from one and my father from the rival gang. They fell in love, and naturally ran away from both gangs to start a life together. They apparently left the town for some time, but came back here because of family and the death of both of the main gang leaders. They thought it was safe. They had Kat and me, and we were living happily. It was a little rough at times; both my parents didn't have college educations, you see, so they were stuck working lower-paying jobs. We scraped by and things were good.

"One night, however, some people came banging on our door. I was ten at the time. It was late, and Kat and I were already in bed. I remember waking up to the banging, and mom came rushing into Kat's and my room, pulling us out of bed and out of slumber. I could see the fear in her eyes. She opened the window in our room, which had a fire escape, telling us to climb down a couple stories to the Miss Poppins' window; she took care of us after school most days while our parents were at work. We were to bang on her window and get her to call the police. Kat was startled and scared, but I brought her safely down and did as mom told. Just as Miss Poppins had woken up, ushered us in, and was on the phone with the police, we heard gunshots. Kat started crying and I held her close. By the time the police came, both my parents were dead and the gang who shot them was gone. They left a sign, letting the police know. It was my dad's old gang. Dad had been the second-in-command, and they didn't take kindly to him leaving with lots of information, and especially for the "slut" of the other gang. They tied up loose ends and took mom along with him for revenge."

Elsa's hand crept across the table, covering Jack's, her eyes wide with almost tears.

"From then on, things were different. We stayed with Miss Poppins for a few days, while the government did paperwork and stuff. Miss Poppins offered to adopt, but she could only afford to take in one of us because she was a single lady. I told her to take Kat, who is still with her to this day. Kat was only six, so it would be easy for her to have the familiar place. I was taken to an orphanage a couple miles away. I would often hang out at Miss Poppins with them, but I had to go back to the orphanage every night. I struggled in school, trying to get over the misery of losing my parents and home. They were young, so they didn't have wills yet. They didn't have much money anyways. Luckily, I was able to find the couple hundred they had stored in their closet, and I gave it to Miss Poppins for Kat. Every once-in-a-while, I would ask for twenty to buy new clothes for myself.

"By the time I entered high school, the gangs caught up with me. I was beaten if I walked out at night, and there were a few times I feared for my life. Both gangs wanted to get to the kid of the traitors, but luckily, they were too focused on each other to really pursue me. But it still was bad. I had gotten to the point where I considered joining a gang just to have protection against the two. My grades were terrible, and I was struggling to be a good big brother for Kat. That's when I was saved.

"One night, I was walking back to the orphanage from Miss Poppins and I was jumped. It was Pitch Black, the kid of the leader of dad's old gang, and his friends. They called themselves "The Shadows;" a kid gang within the gang. Pitch went to my school and was a few grades above me. I had escaped them a few times because I was fast, but I wasn't so lucky that night. They got smart and blocked me in. They had me against a wall and were cutti…" Jack saw the look on Elsa's face, "hurting me. Just when I thought I was done for, I was saved. These three men saved me, which is uncharacteristic when a gang is beating someone; normally they let them be, so they don't get pursued for interrupting. But these people knew what they were doing. I don't remember how, because I kinda passed out from the pain, but they managed to chase the boys off and brought me to their place.

"I woke up in a bed, bandaged and taken care of. I came to find out that I was at a place for kids like me, called "Opekuny," which is Russian for Guardians. They rescued kids, either off the street or pulled them out of gangs, and they protected them and gave them a life. It was an after-school program and a dance studio, of all things. The owner, Nicholas Severnaya, was a large Russian man who has a passion for kids. He's kinda badass, but is really caring. There were three other people who worked there, who I became really close to. Sandy Gold, who is actually a mute, Aster Bunnymud, an Australian, and Toothina Sprite, who is like a mother to me. They actually all became my family. They insisted I moved into a room at Opekuny because I was in a lot of danger. It is here I learned to dance.

"I had tons of aggression because of what happened to my parents; dance was my outlet. Toothina was the ballet teacher and Aster taught the hip-hop. Sandy did all the finances and Nick organized everything. They all were super smart and helped kids with their homework after school every day. My grades rose, my spirits rose, and I became a fantastic dancer. I had a couple run-ins with the gang, but the people from Opekuny, especially Toothina, Aster, Sandy, and Nick, had my back.

"I had done a couple hip-hop competitions and did really well in them. This got me noticed by DDW. I told them my story, and what I wanted to do with my life and they offered me a full-ride scholarship. I wouldn't have been able to afford college otherwise. Now I can attend, and save for Kat, who will be going to college in three years. So yep. That's where I learned."

Elsa sat there, processing it all.

"What is it you want to do with your life?" She asked, after a couple moments of silence. By now, they had gotten their food and Jack was eating, because he had been talking for the past while.

He swallowed, "I want to go back to Opekuny and teach. I want to expand it, making more room for kids just like I was. I want them to be able to find an outlet, an escape in dance. And I want them to have a chance at a better future."

"That's really powerful Jack. I know you are going to do fantastic and achieve your dream!" Elsa said, setting her hand on Jack's once again.

He flipped his hand over, grabbing hers. He looked across the table into her eyes, "Thank you Elsa. It's awesome to have someone believe in me."

"I believe you can do anything you set your mind to, Jack."

Jack's face split into a grin. This girl is amazing. She is accepting me for who I am and encouraging me to follow my dream.

"Thanks Princess. Now talk to me about what has been bugging you all day."

I hope you didn't cry too much (: It made me sad, but it just kinda came. It was awesome (: I'm a little behind, only a couple words into Chapter 8, but that's because I haven't had time, not ideas. I have tons of those (:
