Chapter 11: Field Trip
Jack POV
I woke up the next morning sweating like crazy. Breathing heavily and burning up. I felt so drowsy. I never felt like this before. Why am I like this? Why is my chest burning in pain? Why?
It wasn't long before Tooth came into my room wondering if I was awake or not.
"Good morning, sweetie." She greeted me in her motherly way. "Rise and shine." But then she noticed me in my 'condition.' "Oh my! Jack are you ok?" She frantically checked my temperature. "Oh my you're burning up!" She also noticed my hand clenching my chest. "What's wrong!? Are you in pain!?"
"I don't… know…" I breathed heavily.
"Oh my gosh!" Tooth panicked. "I'll get the others for help!" She then dashed out of my room to get North.
It wasn't long until she got North, who ran into my room. He sat beside beside my bed checking my temperature.
"Lad, how did you get like this?" He asked calmly.
"I don't know." I whispered.
"When did this happen?" He asked.
"Last night when I went to bed." I explained. "I didn't think I was bad. But I guess I was wrong."
North pondered to himself. "I'll see if there is anything that can treat this. In the most likely case it could be that you're probably exhausted from the hard work you do. If so then please let us know. We don't mined working to protect everyone. Don't work by yourself." He told me sincerely.
"I know. But it's just that…" I trailed off remembering a horrible painful memory.
"I know, Jack." North nodded. "Still, That doesn't mean you should do anything reckless. Understand?"
I nod. As North gets up to go to his private study for anything to help me. "I'm sorry I I'm such a burden." I sighed miserably.
"Don't worry about it. Just as long as you focus on getting better." North smiled as he left to his private study. I lay back in my bed. I'm now able to breath properly, but there's still no change. I still felt like crap.
"It'll be ok, honey." Tooth smiled softly. "Can I get you anything? Soup, Juice, anything?"
"Maybe that could help, thank you." Jack smiled weakly. "And sorry."
"No, it's ok." Tooth smiled. She then pecked me on the forehead. "You just focus on resting and getting better. I don't mind helping my little sonny boy." I blushed in embarrassment. I don't mind having Tooth as my mother, but good GOD is she embarrassing.
Tooth made me some chicken soup, plain toast, and water. It did help and I felt better, well only for a while. I was still feeling under the weather, but at least I now know it was just a simple cold, nothing more. Or was it?
At least it was Sunday. Though I still haven't forgotten the instruction North gave me. To watch over and protect Elsa. But I'm not gonna be able to protect anyone in this state. Well at least the others have my back. I can always count on them. Then an idea just hit me. Since I work at the dare care center I still need to set up a field trip for the kids. Luckily I have my cell phone. I called my bosses about the idea of a field trip to Central Park at Wollman Ice Skating Rink. And of course they thought it was a great idea. To be fair the children haven't been on a field trip in like… ever. I told them that Monday after my classes sounds good. They informed me that they'd inform the parents about the idea.
Next was to inform Elsa. I scrolled through my contacts to find her. And I called her. Now nothing left to do but sit here and wait.
Elsa POV
I wake up and turned to my clock. 7:36 AM. I was able to sleep, thankfully, but I still couldn't stop thinking about those two guys. Jackson Overland and Jack Frost. My heart started to race as I fantasize about them. They have so much in common. Their handsome face, their gorgeous eyes, their good manners, their childlike behavior. I blush bright red. What is wrong with me? Why am I fantasizing about two guys?
My thoughts were interrupted by the vibrating of my cell phone. It's Jackson. My hearts races faster and my face blushes even redder. I don't hesitate to answer.
"H-hello!" I hollered.
"Hey Elsie." Jack said. "How are you?"
"Oh I'm doing just fine." I smile. "How are you?"
"Funny you should ask. I'm kind off a little under the weather." He chuckled. I frowned on the other hand.
"Aw I'm sorry." I said. I really felt bad for him.
"Ah don't worry about it." Jack laughed. "I'm feeling a lot better now." We both laughed. "So anyway I was wondering about the fieldtrip you suggested."
"Yes?"
"I'm thinking maybe tomorrow after our class." He explained. "Is that ok?"
"Of course." I smiled wildly. "It's more than ok, it perfect."
"Great! Thanks you very much." He said.
"My pleasure." I answered.
"Ok then I'll see you tomorrow." He said. "Bye."
"Bye." I hug up. I felt so happy and excited. I was going to see Jack's students, see Jack, and… oh my gosh I was so excited!
I ran out of my room and got ready for the day. Took a shower, brushed my teeth, and put on comfy clothes. Anna then came out of her room all dressed up comfy looking too.
"Hey. Somebody's in a good mood." She giggled. "What's all the fuss?"
"Jack called me and set up a field trip with his day care students tomorrow!" I said excitingly. Anna smiled wildly.
"Really?" She gasped. "Oh that's sounds fun! I want to go too! Can I?"
"Sure. If you want." I smiled. Anna jumped wildly.
"Oh I can't wait! I can't wait!" She squealed. She and I both jumped wildly together. Our happy little moment was interrupted by a vibrating cell phone. Anna's cell phone. She looked at it to see a text message.
"Oh it's Hans!" She smiled wildly. I wilted and frowned. I actually forgot that those two started dating. 'Well I got to go. I have a date."
"Well ok." I said. I wasn't even trying. But I wasn't gonna fight with my kid sister. "Have fun!" I called.
"Have fun!" My parents said in unison.
"I will. Bye!" She giggled and pranced away.
I suddenly slowly went back in my room and flopped on my bed. Well there goes a perfectly good morning. Hell a perfectly good day. Hopefully tomorrow will make up for it.
Monday. Me and Jackson are sitting through our classes. We paid attention and took notes on the lectures Duke Weselton was giving us. Once in awhile he would crack a joke about his name and his voice. It would make me giggle every time. And not once did he catch us in the act. But still we always got our notes written, we always paid attention (well mostly lol), and we did our assignments. I really enjoyed Jack's company… as well as his personality.
We walked out side on the campus. We were all excited. We walked to the take the either the 1, 2, or 3 subway trains to 34W 15th Street. The trip over took no more than 12 minutes. We made it to the children's day care center 'Your Kids Our Kids". Jackson turned to me.
"Ready?" He smiled.
"Yes." I smiled wildly. I was so excited. I was going to see his students. He smiled back and we went inside.
We walked inside and then suddenly like magic a stampede of little kids came rushing towards us. I gasped as they shouted in delight "Jack!" in unison. Jack bent down and hugged them all.
"Hey you rascals!" He laughed. He looked happy. I smiled at him. I really enjoy his loveable smile.
"Who's she?" Asked a boy.
"This is Elsa. My colleague." Jack introduced me. I decided to introduce myself too.
"Hi. I'm Elsa. Elsa Arendelle." I waved. All of them were in a state of awe.
"She's really pretty!" A girl stated. I felt bashful.
"Is she your girlfriend, Jack?" A boy asked. Both of us went red of embarrassment.
"Uh, no! She's a…" Jack stammered. "…she's a really good and close friend of mine." I could tell Jack was trying to make it less awkward. Really he tried. After awhile we quickly changed the topic. "So, everybody ready to go?"
They all cheered "Yeah!"
"Alright everyone let's boogey!" He cheered. And we we're off.
We took the F train to Wollman Ice Skating Rink, Central Park. While on the train I played games with the kids, sang songs, interacted in conversations. I was enjoying it wonderfully. These kids were wonderful.
The ride over took no more than 15 minutes. Watching the children skip, jump and play through the park looked so cute. We then made our way Wollman Ice Skating Rink. Jack's bosses already called the place where I work and they approved it.
"Ok kids, take off your shoes and check what size you wear!" Jack announced to the kids. And they did. I wanted to help as well.
"Since I work here I can pick out the sizes." I suggested to Jack.
"Good idea. Let's try that." He smiled. "Ok kids, get into a line! No pushing now!" All the kids instantly lined up all excited.
After a while I got them their skates and they were all set. I could tell they wanted to ice skate really badly. It makes me laugh just to see their adorable faces. Next thing I knew they were all on the ice. They skated all around the rink. I just stood there watching with such interest. I see them playing tag, racing, dancing… dancing? Wow that's kind of funny. Once in awhile a child or two would fall, but Jack would always be there to help. Just looking at Jack interacting with the children made me start to fantasize about him.
"Hey Elsie!" Jack called out. I snap out of my trance. He then skated over to me. "Why don't you join us?" he smiled.
"Uh wait w-what?" I stuttered.
"Come on! Join the kids in ice skating!" He said with excitement.
"Yeah come play with us!" A little girl called over.
"But I haven't skated for so long. I don't think I'm that good anymore." I try to come up with an excuse. Though it was true that I haven't skated in so long.
"Aw come on. It'll be fun." Jack smiled. All the kids beamed up at me. Their cute little faces were just too irresistible.
"Okay." I sighed. I giggled after a moment. "I'll get some skates." I rushed back.
Jack POV
After a few moments she came outside with a pare of ice skates. She put them on and went on the ice.
"Ok, you ready?" She said. I chuckled.
"Isn't that supposed to be my line?" I giggle. I watch her as she skated around the rink. I was very impressed. "Wow. You're a natural." I complimented.
"Thanks." She giggled.
For the rest of the afternoon we played with the kids. Seeing Elsa play with kids looked wonderful. She looked so happy. She was like a mother and it made me feel warm inside. I did however felt the same kind of pain in my chest. Luckily it was just little one. I don't know why but I soon fix together that every time I fantasize about Elsa, which I don't mean to, I start to get this weird feeling inside. I can't explain it cause I never felt it before. What is it?
Elsa POV
It was evening time now. And all the parents came to the rink to pick up the kids. They told them they had a wonderful time. Jack shook hands with each of the parents. They had such respect for him. I could tell. He was like a father and it made me very happy. He really was good with kids.
Night then came, as the parents picked up the last child. They waved goodbye, Jack waved back. I sat at one of the tables relaxing. I skated a lot. I was exhausted. Jack walking towards me and sat down next to me.
"This was excellent day." Jacked sighed in relief. "Not as good as the party we all went to but still. This I will always remember."
"I agree." I giggled.
"But it's not quite over yet." He said. I turn to him a raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"What do you mean?" I asked. Then I noticed him putting his skates back on. "Um what are you doing?"
"Show me more of what you got." Jack smiles. "Snowflake." He extended his hand out to me. For some reason him calling me Snowflake had me all warm and fuzzy inside. I took his hand.
Next thing I knew I was skating like wild. Jack cheered and applauded me.
"You're amazing!" He cheered. I smiled wildly. Even though I haven't skated in a while I still got it.
Both of us decided to show off our moves. I showed him some figure skating moves. Elegant, flexible, and beautiful. Jack on the over hand showed me some moves that I think you do in hockey. We were both having a lot of fun. We even played a little tag and racing our selves. Laughing and giggling. Even though we're grown up we still acted like kids. I was fun.
"You know." I began while laughing. "Even though I'm grown up I feel like a kid again."
"Well like I always say. Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional." Jack stated proudly.
"I'm a kid at heart I don't have to grow up." We both said in unison. We then both laughed.
"By the way where did you learn those moves?" He asked crossing his arms. "Were you a figure skater?"
"Well…" I began. "I did when I was a child. But I stopped after the… um… accident."
"What accident?" Jack looked at me with a worried look. I hesitated to answer. "It's ok you don't have to answer." But I felt like I had to. So I took a deep breath and decided to tell him but leave my powers out, since he doesn't know.
Jack POV
I didn't want to pressure her in telling me her past. I thought maybe I might be pressuring her. But she took a deep breath and told me.
"When I was little me and my sister would ice skate together for hours on end." She began. I listened real well. "Until one day I accidently hurt her. It put her in a coma. I was so scared." She started to get teary eyed. "Then through out most of my youth I stopped figure skating, I shut my self out." A single tear rolled down her eye. "But Anna never gave up on me. She helped me open up to everyone once again." She started to cry.
I skated to her and did the unthinkable. With out a second thought or even the slightest hesitation. I hugged her.
Elsa POV
I couldn't believe what was happening just now. He wrapped his arms around me. He was hugging me. I stood in his embrace wide eyed and surprised.
"It's ok." I whispered. "You didn't mean any harm. Accidents happen." He slowly stroked his hand on my head. "If you need anything just tell me and I'll be there to help you no matter what."
I felt my heart racing. His chest was soft, comfy, and warm. I felt safe. I then wrapped my arms around his waist. I never felt so safe. That is until I noticed something off about him. He had no heart beat. I moved my hand on Jack's chest trying to feel something. I was wide eyed with shock. He had no heart beat!
"Jack!" I started to panic.
"Elsa what's wrong?" He had a concern look on his face as if I've seen a ghost. I think I just did.
"You have no heart beat!"
Jack POV
Oh crap! I think I'm in trouble! I didn't think about her feeling me for any pulse. I started to panic on the inside. What am I going to do? Elsa started to back away slowly.
"Um Elsa, I think you might be thinking bad things right now." I tried to come up with an excuse. She was still backing away slowly. "Elsa, please. Wait a moment."
"Jack… are you… dead?" She breathed slowly. That was it. Right there I didn't know what to say to her.
Suddenly more black sand appeared everywhere around us. I quickly grabbed Elsa and put her behind me to keep her safe.
"Stay beside me!" I instructed her. "I will protect you." She nodded. The black sand still circled around us like a snake, towering over us like walls. Suddenly a wave of black sand hit me and forced me away from Elsa. At least a few feet. Elsa screamed. She was scared but I had to try and think of something.
Elsa POV
I was scared beyond belief. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want my powers to go out of control. But I didn't want Jack to die, even though he has no heart beat.
"Don't let the fear win, Elsa!" Jack called trying to stand.
I knew I had to do something so I fired a wave of ice and snow to stop it. But it made a hole to avoid contact. I was shocked.
Jack POV
This was getting intense. I had to do something. I looked at my necklace. Should I take it off? Should I reveal who I am? Elsa is powerful but against this it's a different story. I shook my head. Aw what am I thinking!? There's no time! So I did it.
Elsa POV
My attention was suddenly drawn by a blue flash of light. I turn around to see Jackson glowing. I was in awe. But that was nothing compared to what I saw next. I saw Jackson Overland change into Jack Frost. I was completely in wide-eyed awe and shock. Jackson Overland change is Jack Frost!
