The Wind that Carried the Frost ch3
Her eyebrows scrunched together, and her big blue eyes filled with confusion. "Who's Tuuli? My name's Julia." Her expression changed to one of excitement and she smiled at me with pretty white teeth. "Jiminy Crickets, you're Jack Frost! Abby it's Jack Frost!" Abby squealed from atop Tuuli's shoulders, "Jack Frost! Jack Frost!" I smiled and waved my hand through the air, creating a bunny of ice. I handed it to her, "give that to your dad, kid." Tuuli, or Julia, laughed and reached to touch the bunny with her finger. When she did so, the bunny hopped on top of Abby's head and nuzzled into her hat. The little brunette giggled.
"I've heard so much about you from Uncle Jay! Well, I guess you'd call him Jamie, he still talks about you all the time, saying how you should come visit for a drink sometime! He still believes in you. He married my older sister, Pippa! She told me all about you too! How you made it snow in her room when she was a little girl, how you all defeated the Boogieman, I've always wanted to meet you! You're my hero, Jack!" She finally ran out of breath and took a few gulps of air, giving me time to respond. When I didn't, too occupied with staring at her, her cheeks turned a rosy color. "O-oh, I guess I said too much. I'm always doing that, talking too much about the things I like," here her whole face turned red, "not that I like you like that! I mean, we don't even know each other! And I have a boyfriend. Not that you're not attractive or anything like that, I think you're very handsome! And from what Pippa and Uncle Jay have told me, I figure you're the kind of guy lots of girls would like-"
At this I laughed, and her face turned the color of a ripe tomato. "You sure can talk, can't you." I grinned. She shifted her eyes downwards, obviously mistaking my laugh as a sign of annoyance. To assure her that wasn't what I intended it to be, I smiled at her, lifting her chin up with my staff to look her in the eyes, "hey, talk all you want, I don't mind listening." At that she smiled. "So where do you live when you're not being Jack Frost? Like during summer?" she asked me, the curiosity having found its way back into her eyes, making them sparkle. I sat on my staff in midair as I answered, "No where, really. I travel. I visit North up at the Pole a lot."
Suddenly I heard a dinging sound come from Julia's pocket, and she pulled out a small device that I had learned a few years back was called a cell phone and flipped it open. "Hi Uncle Jay! You'll never guess who I just ran into!" She smiled up at me. "Oh, of course! I can take Abby for an other hour or two!...No, it's no problem at all! It's almost time for her nap anyway." Here she laughed. "Ok Uncle Jay." Then she looked at me and her smile grew wider. "I'll see you later Uncle Jay." And with that she shut the device and put it back in her pocket. She looked at me and smiled. Then I thought of something. "Wait a minute, if Pippa's your sister, and she's married to Jamie, then wouldn't he just be your brother-in-law?" I asked, confused. She laughed, "Well, technically, yes. But ever since I was little, and Uncle Jay was so much bigger than me, he was over all the time, and he was always so nice to me. I just started calling him Uncle Jay when I was small, and it never really wore off." I smiled at that, of course Jamie would be nice to his girlfriend's sister. Just like that kid.
I looked at Julia. She definitely wasn't a kid. Black, hair down to her shoulder, shorter than Tuuli's waist length blonde hair, but it was just as messy, her eyes had that same tenderness, despite the color difference, and her body looked a bit more mature, Tuuli having been frozen in time at the age of 15, this girl, Julia, had the body of a woman, a small waist, big, voluptuous breasts that bounced slightly when she walked, and hips that naturally swayed when she walked. No, this girl was definitely no kid. Which brought to me a question. "If you're not a kid, how can you still see me? How do you still believe?"
She just laughed, "I wondered when you were gonna ask." Abby yawned from atop Julie's shoulders, and the older girl took her down and leaned Abby against her chest, Abby's head on her shoulder as she yawned a second time, and curled into Julie. We started walked away from the lake, towards town. "Ever since I was small, Pippa and Uncle Jay would talk about you. I always believed them, even now, they still talk about you. All their other friends had forgotten, and even Pippa forgot for a while, but Uncle Jay just couldn't let you go. He would always tell me stories about you. About how you used to visit him so much, even after the Boogieman. And even when you stopped visiting, he never stopped believing in you. Always saying that he'd see you again someday. And Uncle Jay has always been my role model, so I believed too. I guess I just never stopped." She stopped and looked up at me, "You've got to come see Uncle Jay! He'd be so happy!" her eyes were shining, and she looked so happy about the idea, I just couldn't say no. "Of course I'll come see Jamie." I smiled.

*-*-*-*-*-*Jamie's POV*-*-*-*-*-*
It was around midnight when we got back, I was really gonna have to pay Julia extra for this. Pippa and I had just gotten to the front door of our home when we heard Julia's laugh from inside the house. I thought nothing of it, but then a second, male voice said, "And you know what he did? He threw an egg at me! I was pink and blue for two weeks!" and Julia's laugh resounded once more. Pippa raised her eyebrow at me, "I didn't tell her she could have a friend over." I shrugged. It didn't matter much to me, I know Julia's a responsible girl, but I wondered why she wouldn't tell us about this friend. I plugged my key into the lock and opened the door, Pippa right behind me, ready to rip Julia a new one, but we both froze when we walked in and saw who our new house guest was. I was so surprised, I dropped my keys onto the floor. "Jack…?" The winter spirit just gave me that crooked smile, he looked just like I remembered. "Hey there Jamie. Been a while." I smiled.
A/N: what'd you think? I couldn't resist bringing Jamie into it. I can't help it! I love him. He'll be popping up every now and then, I can't leave him alone. Pippa won't be so frequent, but she'll be there. So what'd y'all think? Like? Love? Hate? Tell me in a review! I love any kind of feedback! Any attention is good attention. ;D later loves! *blows kisses*
