Chapter 7

Natalie POV

I woke up three in the morning because of my thirst. I noticed that Bunny is asleep. I tip toed out of the room and went to the kitchen. On my way to the kitchen, I bumped Jack.

"Sorry." Jack said.

"It's okay." I told him.

"What are you doing here? Bunny should be guarding you in your room." Jack asked.

"I just want to get some water. Bunny fell asleep while guarding me. I don't want to wake him for a glass of water." I told him.

"I suppose." Jack said.

"Since you're here maybe you can accompanied me to the kitchen so I can get some water." I told him.

"Okay." We walk to the kitchen. Once we arrived, I surprised at the size of the kitchen. The kitchen is huge. There are rows of stove, sink and table (imagine the kitchen is a five star restaurant but twice the size.)

"Wow." I shocked.

"Yeah. Wow. I got the first impression about this place." Jack told me. "The fridge is this way." We went to the fridge, put a glass of water and went back to my room.

"Thanks." I said.

"You're welcome." He replied.

Few hours later…

"See you later mom." I yelled before the portal closed in front of me. "Be safe."

"She'll be fine." Jack said.

"So what are we going to do?" I asked him.

"Basically I don't know." He answered.

"I want to visit the kids in Burgess." I told him.

"I'm sorry, Natalie but you can't. " North told me.

"I know, but I miss them." I insisted.

"I'm sorry." North apologized. He walked away to check on the toys. Christmas is four days away.

"Looks like I'm gonna stay in my room and play my guitar."

"Good thinking." Jack and I went to my room. I sat at the bed and start playing the guitar.

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

"You know, your singing is good. Where did you get that talent?" Jack asked.

"From my dad." I answered. Jack made an "O" face. I giggled.

"What?" he asked.

"You look cute in that face." I answered him. I can see the blush in his face. "Are you blushing?"

"What? No. I'm not." He answered. I giggled. "Stop it. Seriously I'm not blushing." I laughed. After hours of jokes and laugh, dinner arrived.

A portal appeared and mom and Tooth came up.

"Mom." I went to her and hug. She looked at North.

"North, something came up." She said.

"Natalie's school sends a letter. There's gonna be a ball and Natalie is required to attend."

"When is the ball?" He asked.

"Christmas Eve."

"Still not safe. Since it is required we have no choice, she has to attend."

"That's not the only problem." I interrupted. They looked at her. "First, I don't have something to wear and second, I don't have a partner."

"Partner? What for?" Bunny said.

"Bunny, it's a ball. You need a partner." I told him.

"Jack will be your partner." North said.

"What? North I can't." Jack said.

"And why?"

"North, nobody see me. I'm invisible remember."

"Don't worry lad. I have some magic for that problem." North said. He looked at me. "And about the dress, the yetis can make you one."

"Really." I cheered.

"Yes. Just tell them the design and boom." North told me. I giggled. "Looks like you're set for the ball three days later at Christmas eve."

"Okay. This is the plan. Jack and Natalie, you stay together since you two are partner." North said it while looking to me and Jack. "Bunny, Tooth and Sandy will look out for Pitch." They all nodded. Then they looked at Jack.

"Jack, are you going saying something?" Tooth asked him.

"About what?" Jack asked.

"Jack, you have to ask Natalie to be her partner." My mom said.

"Mom, is it necessary?" I asked.

"Of course, this is your first dance. We need it to make formal." She answered. Jack and I looked to each other.

"Natalie, will you be my partner for the winter dance?" Jack asked.

"Sure." I answered.

"Okay. It's official." My mom declared.
