A God's Princess
Twenty-One: Winter Ball Pt.2
Jacqueline went back to Avenger's Tower after that meeting with the Guardians and she was really freaking out. She kept her exterior pretty cool but in reality she was tripping out. Once inside the Tower she heard no one.
"Jarvis?" she said.
"Yes Miss Jacqueline?" JARVIS replied.
"Where is everyone else?" she asked.
"The team is currently out on a mission, Miss Foster and Lewis are in the labs and Miss Potts is in a meeting, do you wish for me to call them." JARVIS told her.
"Not it's alright." She told him. She walked into the kitchen and put on her gloves. She needed to take her mind out of the Winter Ball. It sounded so silly now.
"You always wanted to go and now you will and you are freaking out." She whispered to herself. She began to take out ingredients she would need it seemed that Tony had everything in this place. She began to bake from scratch, she remembered a particular recipe and other things around she had learned over the years.
#
A few hours later Darcy was coming to get Jane some Pop-tarts because that scientist was going to kill herself with worry over her alien boyfriend. She walked into the kitchen and saw that it had become a bakery it was filled with a lot of sweets and cakes around.
"Okay, I think I just travel to the best place in the world." She said and noticed that Jacqueline jumped high. "Wow didn't mean to startle you Snow."
"It's okay." Jacqueline told her. She looked around the room and looked at Darcy. "I think I went a little bit over-board."
"Naw I think it's great we can open the Avengers Bakery with this." Darcy told her and it got Jacqueline to laugh. She grabbed one of the cookies and bit into it. "Oh, yeah we are totally opening that bakery these are awesome."
"Thank-you." Jacqueline told her and blushed blue.
"Oh My Thor, you blush blue, that it totally awesome, I thought I was seeing things last time." That seemed to make Jack blue again. She was going to say something but everyone began to come.
"I SMELL LITTLE MUFFINS!" Thor boomed and he walked into the kitchen and saw the counter filled with muffins, muffins he recognized even after all this years. "Loki!" he said and Loki was already there taking some of the muffins as his own he recognized them as well.
"Whoa, who turned the kitchen into a bakery?" Tony asked.
"Right, that's what I told Jack." Darcy said.
"Ah… so did you guys beat the bad guys?" Jack asked a bit embarrassed.
"Yup, we were all for socking them in the face." Tony said. He took one of the cookies and bit into it. "Okay you know what Snow you are going to have to bake me some of these all the time they rival Legolas sweets." He said. The rest of the Avengers took some of the sweets and they were shocked. Thor and Loki wouldn't let them touch the muffins though.
"Oh come on Smurf and Point Break share some of the muffins." Tony said they had seen Loki's Jotun form and they really didn't care and even embrace Loki which surprised him, but he was getting used to it.
"It's not like they were made specially made for you." Clint said trying to get into the muffins as well. Tony had been right the sweets rivaled his.
"They are made for us Man of Iron and Eye of Hawk." Thor said with a bit of a pout. Jacqueline rolled her eyes and grabbed exactly ten muffins getting grunts from Thor and Loki but she gave them to the other Avengers so they could try them.
"You remembered the recipe." Loki told her.
"Yes, sometimes they come in fragments." She told him, she was talking about her memories. The fact that she sometimes didn't have to have the box of memories as if that first time of seeing her memories brought them out of their box in her mind.
"You should bake this for Thanksgiving." Darcy told Jack and both she and her brothers turn to look at the other Avengers.
"You celebrate the giving of thanks?" Thor asked.
"Wait your telling me you three have never celebrated Thanksgiving?" Tony asked.
"No, I know of it but I never celebrate it, well I did in my other life but I don't remember it." Jacqueline told them.
"Oh we are so celebrating it big." Tony said. Though Tony had never celebrated Thanksgiving with a family, this would be his first time.
Loki was the first one to notice something off, but he wasn't the only one so was Thor, they knew their sister too long and knew that making a place into a bakery meant that she was freaking out. They waited to see Jacqueline go out in the balcony before they followed her. Of course they took a pile of muffins with them.
"Jacqueline, what's wrong?" Loki asked.
"I…I got invited to the Winter Ball." She told them.
"That is wonderous news you have always wanted to attend." Thor told her. Jack sighed.
"The Guardians found out the Winter Ball also happens to be my birthday and they are going to make it big, huge, and EPIC according to North." Jacqueline said.
"Shouldn't you be happy?" Loki asked.
"I am and I made one request." She told them.
"What was your request?" Thor asked.
"That they invite the Gods and Goddesses from the Pantheons, because if it was just the Spirits I am sure a riot would be in the mist." She told them.
"Then we will attend and be by your side." Thor told her. Jacqueline cocooned herself on Thor's side and he held her there Loki grabbed her hand.
"Jacqueline, you've face many things this year and this will be the most important." Loki told her.
"I know."

Somewhere else Bunny was in the Warren painting new eggs. He couldn't help but think about the Winter Ball coming soon. He noticed that his mind was on a certain Guardian of Fun since the last twenty eggs had been on her colors and representing snow. He put his stuff down and went to one of the trees to lie down. Now that he was close to Jacqueline, he reminded him of the other Jacqueline the one he met many years ago, the one he never saw again. He closed his eyes and let the memories come.
##
Bunny had been seeing how Tooth and North were together and he wasn't jealous as in he liked Tooth. No he actually loved the fact that his friends found love in each other. But it made him feel lonely. So he had gone to Cupids because a Valentine's Day before he had made him a proposition that he had thought ridiculous and now he wanted to give it try. He went through his tunnels until he arrived in Cupids Palace.
'Aster, what do I owe this visit.' Cupid said with a smirk. He was sitting next to his wife Psyche.
'Is ya offer still on the table?' Bunny asked.
'Oh you mean about turning you human for a day, sure it is.' Eros told him. Now normally Eros didn't change the form of Spirits but Bunny didn't have anyone thanks to his race being killed so he kind of felt bad about that. So he was going to get all his strength on this. Maybe Bunny would find his true love he didn't know, but his string seemed to be shining so anything could happen. 'But you do realize that humans won't be able to see you?' Eros asked.
'I know.' Bunny told him. 'But looking human must be special.'
'I suppose you have until the night and you will have your abilities so don't worry about that.' Eros told him. Bunny was happy with that. Eros threw him a cover and he looked at him. 'I don't want you blinding my wife.' Eros said with a smile. Bunny felt the magic and he felt all of him change, his ears disappear. He opened his eyes and looked into the mirror that Eros put in-front of him.
'Wow.' Bunny said.
'Wow is right I didn't think you would like this human.' Eros told him. Bunny touched his hair and looked at is body he still had his tattoos and his satchel with his boomerangs. He was thrown some clothes and he put them one coming out he looked at them.
'Okay so I'll be seeing you later.' Bunny told him. 'Thank-you.'
'Have fun Aster.' Eros told him.
#
Bunny traveled the tunnels and he arrived to a town. It was fall so he didn't mind. Just as he moved looking at the place he recognized it as Burgess a small town. He heard someone moving in the trees. He looked up to see a girl pulling on a dress and once she did she fell and Bunny just moved and caught the girl dipping her. He looked at her she seemed to have her eyes close, he notice that her hair was rich brown, light skin and she was wearing a brown dress.
'Sheila are ya alright?' he asked her. She waited a few moments before opening her eyes and Bunny was in shock she had very beautiful brown eyes ones he had not seen. She seemed to be looking at him. 'Sheila?'
'Ah…ah I'm fine.' She told him and she got this blush. He saw that she got even redder and he wondered the reason why? Until he saw that he had her dipped he blushed himself and righted her up.
'Ya sure?' he asked
'Y...yes t…thank y…you.' She told him. Aster notice that the young woman seemed to look at him with curiosity as if he was the first person she had ever seen. 'What tribe are you?" she asked him.
'Aye don't have one.' He admitted to her and wondered the reason.
'Oh did they run you away?' she asked him and he saw that she seemed truly concerned.
'They got murdered off many years ago.' He told her and he remembered seeing his people gone because of Pitch. He was surprised when the girls grabbed his hand and pulled him on a hug.
'I'm so sorry.' She told him and he returned the hug it felt so right having her there and he wondered the reason why.
'JACQUELINE!' he heard someone thundered and young woman separated from him and seemed like she wanted to run away.
'Wat's wrong?' he asked her.
'I…I need to go, now.' He told her. He could hear the steps more like stomps. So he did the most logical thing he grabbed her hand and ran. He knows he was too fast and almost felt her fall he thought she was going to tell him something but she laughed. He turned to see her and laughed with her. He helped her climb up a tree and he climbed up himself. He saw the boy walk under them. Bunny made sure he left before he turned to her.
'Who was that?' he asked.
'Uh, what's your name?' she asked him ignoring the question he turned back to see over the tree before turning back to her.
'Aster.' He said.
'Well my name is Jacqueline if you heard the scream.' She told him. They both looked out to the sky seeing the town from the tree, Bunny found it comforting.
'Ya didn't answer my question, Sheila.' He told her and Bunny saw how her posture seemed to get depress loose hope.
'He's the boy, my Dad is going to marry me too next year.' She told him. Aster looked at her and she turned her face to the side.
'Oh.' He told her. 'Ya don't like him.' he stated he didn't ask, because he knew that face.
'My Dad think's it the best match, but he is just a bully putting a mask so people think he's nice.' She told him. 'By next summer I'm supposed to be his bride.'
'That sounds terrible.' He told her, he meant it no one should be force to marry.
'I know I guess I get to celebrate my favorite holiday without being married.' She told him with a smile. Bunny knew what was coming next, she was going to tell him that Christmas was her favorite and North would brag if he told him.
'Christmas?' he asked. Jacqueline laughed.
'No, Easter, I always have tried to see the Easter Bunny but I never got the chance maybe in this last Easter I will.' She told him. Aster brightened up at hearing her words and he wondered the reason why? 'You thinks its silly don't you?' she asked him.
'Not at all Sheila Easter happens to be my favorite time as well.' He told her and he was not lying. She seemed to be looking for something but she just looked at the sky and they began to talk and it surprised him, how interesting she was. She wasn't like many persons he had met. The moon was already shining when she looked at it.
'Oh I need to go.' She told him. Aster nodded and helped her climb down. They stood under the tree Aster had his arms around her waist.
'Not to sound forward, but will I see you again?' she asked him. Aster bit his lip.
'Yes, in Easter, right here.' He told her, he intended to meet her than.
'Okay, bye Aster see you in Easter maybe you can help me see the Easter Bunny.' She told him and he laughed, his eyes seemed to shine.
'Bye Jacqueline.' He told her. it wasn't until she left that he turned back into his Bunny form and he realize that he had kind of let her have her wish she had seen the Easter Bunny and one thing that made him freeze before she left, she was human and she had seen him.
##
Bunny sometimes wondered what happened to her. That Easter he had gone and he had not seen her, he looked around town focusing on both his job but he didn't see her. He did see the boy and he was with another young woman. He also wondered what would have happened is he had seen her again.

A few days later it was Thanksgiving and Avengers Tower was a movement that no one had ever seen. Everyone was in the kitchen. Pepper was helping Tony and Jane trying to cook because they didn't trust them without blowing something up.
"Okay so this has to be ready soon." Darcy said she had no one to go to anymore so she didn't miss much.
Like everyone in the Tower she was just a piece that actually fit in there. Clint and Natasha were in-charge of the turkeys. Steve and Bruce were focusing on the mash potatoes and Darcy had the cranberry sauce. Jacqueline was doing the sweets and she was getting Thor and Loki to help her fixing them in the place without eating them which was harder than anything. Jacqueline was having fun.
#
Later after everything was done and they were all dressed nicely. They sat on the large table Pepper and Darcy decorated and all of the food was put there. Steve and Tony were each in the end of the tables each with a turkey and ready to carve them.
"We are going to say blessing first." Steve said and all of them grabbed their hands. Thor, Loki and Jack followed everyone's lead. Steve said the prayer and everyone ended with Amen. Then began the feast which was something Thor, Loki and Jack were kind of use to but this was more fun, because it was more intimate.
"This food is fantastic." Thor said. "Another?" he said. "Please." He told Jane who gave them this look. Loki and Jack couldn't help but smile.
"What are we going to do after this?" Clint asked.
"I say we have a movie night." Tony says.
"We have to make popcorn for that." Pepper said.
"I doubt any of us will be hungry." Natasha said.

Somewhere else everyone one of the spirits were receiving their invitations for the Winter Ball. All of them and each and every one of them were excited to meet the new Guardian that was going to join the ranks of the Big Four.
"This is going to be awesome." Eve told Fool as they sat in their home together.
"Yes it is, we have to get really nice suits on." Fool told her.
"Look at this the Guardians have sent us the invitation to the ball." Flora said to Jake.
"Oh we are so going." Jake told her.
"Who do you think it's the new Guardian?" Flora asked, Jake just shrugged.
Of course they weren't the only ones receiving their invitations. The God's and Goddesses were getting their invitations as well.
"Look at that we have been invited to the Guardians Winter Ball so we can be presented to the new Guardian." Athena said.
"The invitation has Jacqueline written all over it." Hermes said.
"We shall attend for our friend sake." Athena said.
"Of course we are going; it's going to be interesting since Eros has said none of the other Spirits know of Jacqueline's status." Hermes said.
In Asgard Odin and Frigga were smiling at the invitation.
"We shall go." Odin says.
"We have to make sure to have outfits that represent us." Frigga said. "This Ball will be amusing." She told her husband.
