Since my laptop won't open, I had to REDO what I typed from 11 pm to 1 am. It's depressing! It was getting good too D: My mom will have to take it for repairs TOMORROW. I couldn't wait that long so I decided to do it on my grandfather's computer instead while he's taking his nap.

I would like to thank those people who read, reviewed and did both! :D I'm so happy to know you guys are enjoying my fan fic! This chapter is for you guys out there who continues to support this fic!


Chapter 3: Living In

Rapunzel gaped at the mystical being grinning at her knowingly. She was just shocked that he could turn to a human being. She swallowed. She thought of saying something, anything, but no words came out. It wasn't because it was too much to process—she was just…shocked. She couldn't find the words to say and he noticed that.

Jack decided to stand up, "I'll show you." He said.

She just looked at him, still in the state of shock. She stared at him. He closed his eyes and released a heavy breath that ice-cold smoke came out. It was visible to her that he was concentrating on his transformation. Not too long, his transformation was at the process. She gasped at this. It was very surprising but in a good way. His hair slowly turned brown from the tips to the roots. The frosts on his clothes and staff slowly faded and soon, his transformation was done. He opened his eyes. It was brown!

He had his arms up to his side as if he was showing himself to the world. "Ta-da!" he said with a wee bit tune.

Rapunzel's eyes grew wide and her gaping mouth turned into a smile. She gave him a standing ovation, "That was so cool!" Those were the only things she was able to say because, honestly speaking, she couldn't find the exact words for his performance.

"Your hair… it's brown!"

"This is my real hair color… And of course, eye color." He said, running his hand over his hair.

She frowned a bit, "I like it better when it's white." She said. Realizing what she said, she thought it might mean something else to him. "Not that I prefer you more as a spirit than a human. Not that I don't I just—" she said with a bit of nervousness.

He laughed, "It's fine, Goldilocks. I like it better when my hair's white too." He smirked, "It's unique and has the same color as the snow I make." He added.

Rapunzel blushed so bad that she wanted to bury her face on her pillow again but instead, she grabbed the Tupperware and went for the door. Jack was confused by her actions. Did he say something wrong? Maybe he shouldn't have laughed. Yeah, maybe he shouldn't have because maybe, just maybe, she misunderstood it. Way to go, moron. You made your first human girl friend you've had in your whole spirit life upset, his conscience reproached. He scratched the back of his head and went to her, "Rapunzel, I'm sorry." He apologized.

She didn't look at him. Ouch.

"You don't have to be sorry." She said with her eyes staring at the Tupperware in her hands. It was making him feel guiltier when suddenly, she looked at him with the same bright smile she shows him, "Let's get you more cookies."

Jack's eyes sparkled as soon as his guilt subsided. He followed her to the kitchen. He saw a few paper bags from the grocery store. He realized that she went shopping for groceries for his cookies. The heavy feeling returned.

"I'm sorry for making you buy a lot of those cookies I asked." He said, still staring at the paper bags.

She turned to him with a confused look and went near him. She smiled up at him so serenely that it made him inhale abruptly but silently. "You don't have to be sorry. I bought it with my own free will. You didn't force me on it." she said. She is so damn nice!

He looked at her as she turned to place more cookies in the Tupperware. There was an awkward silence between them. A very awkward silence.

Jack was arguing with his mind when suddenly, Rapunzel turned back to him. "Will you consider staying like that?" she asked.

He looked at her. I never really thought about that, he thought. He placed his hand in his hoodie's pocket, "Maybe, why?"

She looked away, playing with her hair, "Oh, nothing really…"

He was a quick to understand maybe why she asked such a question, "Would you want me to?" he said. Her head shot up to look at him. He held his breath, "I mean, this is your house, so it's your rules."

She continued to play with her hair, "I-I don't know. What are you most comfortable as?"

"Honestly, as a spirit. But in your house, I'd make an exception."

"Really?" Rapunzel gasped followed by a smile. He nodded. She couldn't believe it but Jack Frost will be staying with her… as a human!

She turned to the fridge with a happy-shocked expression. She wanted to squeal that time too but obviously, she can't. He might be suspicious why. But… she became confused. Why was she happy about it? This 'fuzzy' feeling was overwhelming. It felt so heavy yet so light that it made her more confused and so absorbed in her thoughts that she couldn't hear Jack calling her.

"Earth to Goldilocks." He held her shoulder. She held her breath and turned to him. He was so close, again!

He was staring into her eyes. She felt her cheek go warm again, "Y-yeah?" she finally squeaked.

"Can we…" Jack trailed off. She tilted her head a bit with curiosity. "…Go see the streets tomorrow?"

He thought she was going to deny his offer but she actually like the idea. "Of course! It's been years since you've been.. alive, right?"

He laughed a bit and walked back, "Well, I transformed once but it didn't go so well."

She tilted her head again, "What happened?"

Jack laughed at the thought of his memory. God, girls were surrounding him when he visited Wales. Maidens with a bucket or even a broom would stop by the sight of him and stare at him. More like gawk, he thought, laughing a bit more. "You see, Goldilocks, when I visited Wales, a lot of women actually stopped by me and talked to me. Tried, at least." He said. When she didn't speak, he continued, "It has been centuries since I last had a real conversation with a living human. It's like—" he looked at her with a grin, "—I lost my social graces."

She laughed, "I doubt that. You seem pretty fine to me."

He held his staff and held it firmly as he leaned on it, "So… will you help me if that ever happens again?" he asked. I hope it doesn't, he thought.

"Of course, Jack!" she chirped with enthusiasm, "Why wouldn't I?" she said and then they raced upstairs to her bedroom. Of course, Rapunzel won. She jumped on her bed and Jack helped himself on the window seat. They shared a moment of laughter until Rapunzel yawned, "I'm quite sleepy…" she said. He leaned back on the wall and looked at her, "Well, goodnight then, Goldilocks." She took a last glance at Jack and smiled at him, "Goodnight, Jack." And with that, she slowly fell into slumber.

He stared at her for a while then looked outside the window. He saw people walking on the side walk and kids playing in snow. It felt nice that people, especially kids, enjoy his creations. He wondered that if they ever think of a phenomenon or theory about what causes and makes the snow. More like 'who causes the snow', he mumbled to himself. Maybe it was his punishment for being such a jerk to some people… Okay, a lot, but it was such a heavy punishment. Not to be believed in as much as the other guardians. It seemed pretty unfair but what could he do?

With all the thoughts, he had a minor headache. Jack sighed heavily and looked at the moon, "Thanks for allowing me to stay with her, though." He said as he looked at the bright moon floating in the winter night sky. He smiled a bit and pulled on his hood and wrapped his legs and left arm on his staff, letting it rest on his shoulder and fell asleep.

The next day when he woke up, he saw that Rapunzel's bed was empty. He grabbed his staff and went down to the kitchen and saw her cooking. The smell of her cooking was so fragrant that it made the production of his saliva rush. He swallowed when he saw it was…

"Pork Chop…" he mumbled.

Rapunzel turned to see him. She smiled and greeted him a happy, "Good morning!" She returned her attention to the sizzling Pork Chop, "Sit down, Jack." She said.

He obediently sat down but when he saw her getting the plates and eating utensils, he helped her and placed them on the table. "Let me help you." He said. Then he opened the fridge, "What should we drink?"

Without averting her gaze from what she's cooking, she asked him, "What do you want? Juice, milk or water?"

Jack scanned the fridge. He grabbed the glass pitcher full of juice, "I'm going to get the juice." He told her as he placed the pitcher in the middle of the set. Then he remembered, glasses. He grabbed two octagonal glasses and placed them on the table. As soon as Rapunzel finished cooking the pork chop, she placed them on a plate and grabbed it with a plate of rice on her other hand and placed them on the table. They sat down together.

"Bon Appétit!" she said and scooped herself rice and forked a pork chop.

Jack did the same and took a bite of her pork chop. His eyes glistened, "Man, this is delicious!" he said and ate faster.

She smiled at him, "I'm glad you like it!"

He looked at her, with a grin plastered on his face, "I don't mind having this as my breakfast every day." He said and looked at his food.

Come to think of it, I've never really eaten food like this in a while, he thought. Without him noticing it, Rapunzel already poured juice in his glass. He snapped back to reality when she placed down the pitcher.

"Eat as much as you want." She said.

He smiled at her, "Thanks but I'm fine. Your cooking's really awesome."

She blushed a bit. It was only recently that she found out that she had a habit of speaking bluntly when she was nervous. She tried to stop the habit but the odds weren't on her side.

"You wanna go to the park?"

Way to go, Punz.

Jack blinked twice, "Right now?"

Rapunzel rolled her eyes to the side and bit her lower lip, "W-well, I was just asking if you would like to go to the park today and play in the snow…" her voice hushed to the end of her sentence.

"Play in the snow? That's a great idea!" he exclaimed.

After breakfast, Rapunzel went up to her room to get dressed then she remembered—Jack doesn't have shoes. If not more, it was freezing out in the streets. His pants seemed like it wouldn't do the trick either. Her girl-part aroused inside of her. Make over time.

She pulled Jack to sit on her bed then she rushed to her parents' room to get her father's clothes and shoes. When she came back, his eyes widened. A lot of clothes, still with hangers, were on her arms and a few shoe boxes with her. How did she get them? Some were piled on top of the clothes, one was balancing on her head, two more were at her feet—she kicked them on the way to her room. It felt awkward for him when she placed the clothes on her bed and pushed him to try the clothes on.

Every time he came out of the bathroom, Rapunzel didn't like how the clothes sloppily hung down his body. An idea came to her. She got one of her dad's long sleeves. It wasn't too big but not too fit either. It was a bit baggy but he looked good in it. The long sleeved top was a few shades darker than navy that had stripes of a lighter shade than navy. For the pants, Rapunzel thought. She rummaged for his dad's second to the smallest jeans and gave it to him. When Jack came out of the bathroom, Rapunzel almost squealed because he looked so handsome wearing her dad's clothes. The jeans were fit and smooth from his thighs to his calves and then went all wrinkly by the ankles. The shoes. Rapunzel got two pairs she thought might look good with him, but it was up to Jack on what he was going to wear. She held up a pair of two-skinned Converse shoes with the color of black and blue and a pair of Vans with the color black and white laces.

"Which pair do you want to wear?" she asked.

Jack stared at the shoes. Her dad's pretty much the 'youth' type, he thought. He pointed at the converse. She gave it to him. He grabbed a pair of socks and wore it followed by the shoes. Rapunzel rushed herself with returning her dad's clothes and shoes. He helped her, "You should get dressed, Goldilocks." He said.

She smiled at him, "Y-yeah. My dad's clothes go in that open cabinet. His shoes go on the shelves." She said, pointing at the cabinet then at the shelves. He only nodded and carried the clothes and put them on her parents' bed. He neatly placed them in the cabinet and the shoes on the shelves. He went out and closed the door. Just as the doorknob ticked, Rapunzel's door opened. It revealed her wearing a dark lavender colored sweater, black skinnies and violet boots with fur at the top. Her hair was tied into a messy bun. By the sight of her, he gaped a bit. She was stunning.

Rapunzel went near him and gave him a pair of gloves (not the mitten type). She wore her gloves. He was looking at her strangely. She blinked, "We'll be picking up snow. It's going to be cold." She reminded him that he was still human.

Right...

They went downstairs and went for the door. Rapunzel pressed the lock behind and went out with him. She carried a really small backpack that only a wallet slash coin purse, handkerchief and small gadgets like a cellphone or MP3 could fit.

Jack looked up at the sky. It was his first time to experience his wonders as a human being. He smiled at the sight of people enjoying the snow he brought about several days ago. He thought that maybe he should go check on Russia but a part of him told him that it was his day off and that he can return tomorrow or the day after because that day was the time he should spend some time with his new believer and friend, Rapunzel. He glanced at her. She was smiling as she was looking up at the snow falling. He smiled at her.

It was going to be a fun day.
