Sorry it took me this long but I am finally done with this chapter, don't know when I'll have the next one up thank you for being patient with me.
After Jack had made sure the mares and Spike had made it safely across the border, he returned to his snow pile though he didn't fall asleep as he found himself missing his fellow Guardians and friends.
For the first time since he became the Spirit of Winter and Guardian of Fun Jack felt liquid tears falling from his eyes. "I'm sorry I'm missing your sixteenth birthday Jamie." He whispered in sorrow as he laid his head down.
As he lay there, the sun went down and the moon rose. Once she finished raising the moon, Luna flew out to check on how Jack was. "Are you alright Jack Frost?" She questioned once she noticed the tears that fell from his eyes.
Jack lifted his head to blink up at her. "I'll be alright I just miss my friends, especially Jamie. He is like a little brother to me even though he's still mortal and I'm not. Jamie was the first child in my three hundred years as a spirit to believe in me.
Before he believed, I was nothing more than a few words in a song or a saying to mortals and no matter what I did, I was always walked through as if I wasn't even there. That was what hurt the most, mortals walking right through me."
Luna settled down next to him. "I may not have had any pony walk through me but I do know what it's like to not be seen since I am in charge of bringing up the moon and the night so I kind of know what you went through.
I lost myself as feelings of hurt turned into resentment, I attempted to keep it eternally night here, and my sister was forced to trap me in the very moon I was in charge of bringing up. I was trapped there, watching and waiting to escape, for a thousand or more years.
When I did manage to do so I was still intent on making it eternal night but it was Twilight Sparkle and her friends who brought me back to my senses by using the Elements of Harmony and for that I am grateful."
"Seems like we both had it bad when it came to others seeing us. Thankfully that's behind us both, hm." Jack commented with a smile.
"Yes, thankfully." Luna replied, her head turned to face Jack's.
"You mentioned something about Elements of Harmony and how they were used to bring you back to your senses?" Luna nodded. "Do you think if I could I get Pitch on this side of the portal they could be used to bring the man back who he used to be?"
Curious, Luna asked "What happened to him to change him?"
"Sandy told me that he was guarding a prison for Nightmare men and dream pirates when they tricked him into opening the door that trapped them with the voice of his daughter and took over his body."
"I see, I will have to speak with my sister about this and see what she has to say about it."
"Thank you." Jack replied as he got to his hooves, a mischievous look on his face, before he used his magic to bury Luna in snow then dashed off in laughter as she yelped in surprise.
"You are going to regret doing that Jack Frost!" She shouted as she chased after him, using her own magic to try and hit him with snow which resulted in a snowball fight filled with both their laughter. Up in the castle Celestia watched them play with a smile.
"I am glad you have found someone to show you how to have fun little sister." She whispered then turned to go back in her room for some sleep. After two hours of attempting to hit Jack, Luna collapsed onto the ground, pretending to be out of breath.
Jack landed next to her, "Are you already giving up on our fun?" He asked. His answer was a snowball to the face followed by Luna's laughter. "Oh, I see how it is." He exclaimed as he tackled her that resulted in the two of them rolling around in the snow and ended with Jack on top of Luna, their eyes meeting.
"Has any pony ever told you that you have beautiful eyes?" He said without a thought and Luna blushed. "Uh… I mean… I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I mean we hardly know each other." Jack stuttered as he got off Luna and turned to fly away.
"Jack Frost, wait. I… no pony has every told me that before and. I guess I just want to say thank you, I would also like to get to know you better."
Jack shook his head, "We shouldn't, I'll only be here for another twenty-eight moon rises then I'll be going home. If we start something then I don't know if I'll be able to go home when it's time for me to… I'm sorry Princess Luna." He told her without turning to face her then flew off.
Luna called out to him but he ignored her calls as he flew away tears once more flowed from his eyes. "I can't let my feelings for you grow, I'm sorry." He thought.
Once Jack was out of sight, Luna turned and fled back to the castle where she landed in Celestia's room in tears. "Luna, what's wrong?" She questioned the minute she heard Luna sobbing on her room floor as she moved to her side in order to comfort her.
"I hate Jack Frost." Was Luna's muffled reply as she buried her muzzle into Celestia's side.
Luna's words made Celestia realize that her sister, and possibly Jack, had feelings for each other. "Oh Luna." She sighed as she ran a hoof over Luna's mane. "Please don't get attached to him." She pleaded. "Your heart will only end up broken when he returns to his home."
"I know Celestia, it's just… I could not help it. He is the first stallion to even show any of those kind of feelings for me since I got back." Luna sniffled as she wiped away her tears. "I guess I forgot he was not born a stallion while we were having fun."
Celestia smiled softly at Luna as she answered. "I understand, I just don't want you to get your hope up only for it to fall."
"I know, thank you for understanding sister. I told him about the Elements of Harmony and he asked me if they could be used to free someone from his home from something called nightmare men and dream pirates. What do you think?"
"I don't know Luna, we're not meant to mess with others in a different world unless it involves our world. What you're asking may not be a good idea." Celestia answered with a sigh as she got to her hooves and returned to her bed.
Luna simply nodded as she watched Celestia return to her bed then trotted out onto the balcony to watch over those who are asleep. As she lifted her head to gaze at the moon, she saw Jack as he glided through the sky and a small smile came to her muzzle though it faded once she realized he would have to leave soon.
Luna shook her head to rid herself of such thoughts and walked back inside. Up in the sky, Jack sadly watched her go back inside before he dove down where he landed in a flurry of snow as he hit a pile of it and proceeded to bury himself in it. He suddenly found he was tired and slowly fell asleep while images of Luna flitted through his mind.
