She hated to admit it but she was falling for Jack, despite her efforts to stop herself. But the Queen couldn't help it, when she was around him her icy heart thawed. Never before had anyone –not even Anna- been able to do that. To make her truly open up to them. Around Jack she felt secure, like he would never hurt her or leave. She wondered if Jack was feeling the same way. What if he doesn't? Elsa thought, what if he's just leading me on and doesn't like me at all? She forced her thoughts onto other matters, like meeting the guardians, she was pretty nervous. I mean what was she supposed to say, 'Hi, I'm supposed to be the new member of the guardians; no one thinks I even exist and you are all going to hate me?' it just didn't sound right. The only thing keeping her together was the fact Jack Frost was holding her hand.

They held hands and walked in silence to the enormous mahogany front door of Santa Claus' factory. Elsa was about to knock when Jack pulled her back and tapped the door with his staff. Immediately frost circled in strange patterns across the door. The Ice Queen gasped, his power was beautiful, she reached out to touch it but the door opened, a gesture to go inside. She looked nervously over her shoulder at Jack and bit her lip. Her heart was pounding so loud it filled her eardrums. He gestured her forward with his hands but before she turned back he took her by the shoulders, brushed her hair back and planted a kiss between her eyebrows. This took Elsa completely by surprise. She opened her eyes to look at the guardian, then she did something she wasn't expecting; she threw her arms around him. Jack stumbled backwards but didn't fall, quickly regaining his balance. He carefully placed his arms around her, his fingers circling the small of her back. They held each other for what seemed like forever, "Thank you Jack, I think I'm ready now." Elsa said, with a glow in her otherwise pale cheeks.

They walked through the door together, hand in hand. Straight away they were greeted by the sight of all the guardians. They were nothing like Elsa had imagined. Jack had briefly described them to her, an old jolly fat man; a grumpy Australian rabbit; a small mute golden man and a bird-like fairy. But still she imagined them taller, sort of like warriors. She did not expect what she found at all. Bunny looked down at their joint hands and started laughing. "Never thought I'd see Jack Frost getting close to anyone!" He exclaimed in his thick aussie accent. Jack immediately turned red and loosened his grip on Elsa's hand, but he did not drop it. Tooth flew up to the Queen and held a hand to her face. "You're so beautiful! Can I see your teeth?" Jack had previously warned her about tooth doing this. She giggled "Thank you! And if you must." Tooth placed her hand inside Elsa's mouth and poked around like a dentist examining a patient. Jack laughed at the Queen and gave her a knowing smile. He felt a small pull on his leg, he looked down and saw Sandy. "What's up Sandy?" He asked. An array images floated above the Sandman's head. First a snowflake, then a little man with a stick (Jack presumed it was him) then a heart and finally, a small woman with a chunky braid. The spirit of winter chuckled and knelt down to reach Sandy's level "Ha, you do catch on fast little man."

Tooth eventually took her hands from Elsa's mouth and retreated behind Bunny. "So Ice Queen," he sounded angry, "tell me, what can YOU protect in children?" His face contorted, like he couldn't stand to look at her. The Queen stifled a sob. She looked down, afraid that if she opened her mouth the tears would flow. It felt like the Easter Bunny's eyes were boring into her skull, searching for an answer to his question, an answer she didn't have. It was Jack who eventually stepped in, "How dare you talk to her like that? Can't you see that Elsa is fragile at this moment in time?"

"Well since you're on 'first name terms' now, you tell me!" Jack was getting frustrated, he squeezed Elsa's hand reassuringly and took a deep breath in. He exhaled. "This is the problem, just like when I was first a guardian, we don't know what Elsa's centre is…" Bunny's expression didn't change; he looked even angrier than before. The rabbit marched over to Elsa and for a moment Jack thought that he was going to hit her. Quickly he wedged himself between the two of them, still tightly holding Elsa's hand in his own. She was taken aback at how far he was going to protect her. All her life she had been alone, no one to protect her, she had to live with fear as her only companion and that's not good when you're afraid of being afraid. Bunny growled at Jack through his big rabbit teeth. "Why do you protect her? With the power she holds in her fingertips why does she need you!" He poked at Jacks sternum with his index finger. Elsa had had it. "ENOUGH! STOP IT!" she wrenched her hand from Jack's to prevent her from hurting him. Sharp icicles shot out from the Ice Queen's palms and penetrated the floor next to Bunny's feet. His face was full of utter shock and horror. He took a few steps back and was just about to reach for his boomerangs when North stepped forward from the shadows. He took Elsa's shaking hands and looked her in the eyes. "My lady of Arendelle, we need you to be a guardian with us. Man in moon chose you, you must have something special inside." That is what he said to me too, Jack thought. "I am sorry," she replied "I didn't mean to start anything I- I'm scared." North looked over at Bunny angrily and let go of the Queens cold hands. "Bunny, how dare you scare her like that?! Surely you know the Ice Queens powers are controlled by fear? I am disappointed in you." That's when it all clicked. Like pieces of a puzzle fitting together in Jack's mind. Fear.

Jack remembered from the previous day that when the moon chose Elsa he projected a shadow of Pitch Black onto the floor. At first he didn't really know what he was trying to say, but now he had figured it out. The answer was fear. That was the only thing that it could've been, the only thing linking Pitch and Elsa together. The Boogeyman was going to try and get to Elsa. Jack had to act fast. "I KNOW! I KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS!" He exclaimed. The spirit took one of the Queens hands and pressed her palm to his –he cared not for the other guardians watching him. Elsa blushed, unsure of what Frost was going to do next. He leaned in closer and whispered to her. "My lady, I have news. This may shock you but please, don't be afraid. You know I promised to always protect you." The Queen nodded, still slightly confused. "The Boogeyman –Pitch Black who I told you about is coming, coming for you. He is going to try and use fear to get to you. Since your powers become dark and uncontrollable when you are afraid. You cannot fear him. We must make you a guardian straight away. I –we will protect you from him, I swear on my immortal life." Elsa could not do anything but nod. Suddenly she understood everything. Something evil was out to get her, she must not be afraid. Of course that was easier said than done.

After calling a meeting of the guardians Jack told them what he had told Elsa. He was certain this was the reason that Pitch was coming. He made them all vow to protect her with their lives because if the Boogeyman somehow got control of Elsa's powers using fear as his weapon, then the children of the worlds beliefs would be in grave danger. The Queen agreed to the conditions of being a guardian. After all she loved children and would have happily given up her time to help them. There was one small issue though; she didn't know what her centre was. North told her not to worry. That with time and helping the children she or they would figure it out. Bunny did not agree.

Soon the sun was setting in the sky. Casting golden and magenta shadows over the white clouds. It had been a long hard day for everyone. Elsa had found most of it pointless. Since she didn't really want to get involved in the silly arguments that the Easter Bunny was creating. Jack kept on defending Elsa, as did the others. She didn't know what Bunny's problem was, how could he hate her? They had only known each other for a few hours. Eventually she zoned out of the conversation completely and wandered over to the balcony to watch the sun set. She watched the vast array of colours shine in the sky until the stars came up and the sky turned black. By then she had realised it had gone quiet. Slowly she crept back inside, only to find herself in complete darkness. What is going on? Is there something wrong? The Queen panicked. But soon enough the lights came back on to reveal that the room was decorated with banners and balloons. Santa's little elves blew on tiny horns and jingled their little bells. North stood a few feet away from Elsa holding a heavy, old looking book. He flicked over some pages until he found the one he wanted. Just behind the jolly fat man Elsa saw Jack Frost, a crooked grin on his pale face. "Will you, Queen Elsa of Arendelle, vow to watch over the children of the world? To guard them with your life, their hopes, their wishes, and their dreams. For they are all that we have, all that we are, and all that we will ever be."

"I will."
