~Everything's Alright: Jack Frost~

How did this happen? Jack had thought. It was clearly impossible for it to happen to him and yet here he is: Jack Frost, Guardian of Fun was lying in bed and covered in semi-frosted blankets inside one of the North Pole's spare rooms. Some of the guardians (namely North and the Easter Kangaroo) had jabbed, worried, and teased about how someone of his element could even catch a 'small' cold.

To say he was embarrassed is an understatement.

"This is what I get for trying to be helpful," Jack quietly muttered. As he tried to stay comfortable, the winter spirit was oblivious to the sound of soft footsteps entering the room.

"I guess they were right about you not feeling well…"

Jack slowly sat up and saw a child dressed in her same old red tunic and red hat. It was Wander, the same child that gave him this terrible cold. "Came here to gloat I take it?"

Wander shrugged. "Not really. But I did come here to make you comfortable at the very least." She then gestured the tray in her hands. "I even brought you some chilled soup. Tooth told me you liked it."

Silence filled the air and the boy's resentment of the older girl went away. "Thanks for caring…I guess."

Wander smiled as walked over and gave him the tray with the soup. With it on his lap, the girl in red brought out her small music box and opened it; a soft song began to play.

The melody was all too familiar…

"I've heard this song before," Jack wondered aloud. "…so very long ago…"

"I used to play this song when someone I cared for was sick," Wander said as she held her own hands, her voice sounding distant. "You're the very first to hear it in this century and I'm glad that it's you hearing this tender song."

Jack, feeling awkward, began to play with his cold soup. He knew it should not mean anything, but a part of him was happy that he is beginning to know more about the spirit of childhood and her unusual traits that makes her childhood itself. Even if it is a slow process, it was better than nothing. "So…what is the name of this song?"

"Everything's Alright."

AN: This is the sequel to my previous drabble "Sick Day". Jack is slowly learning more about Wander, all because Jack had no idea he can actually catch a cold. -_-;

Does anyone else think it's possible for Jack to get sick? Or is it just me?
