Chapter 23: Is this Punishment Part 1: Astrid's interest

Elsa POV

Today work was average as usual. Jack and the children don't come here often because they need permission. I still visit them on Jack's evening job. Though I have seen something rather unusual about his behavior. Whenever a little child is hurt he immediately takes care of it by holding the child close. Most would see this as natural, but I see it in Jack's eyes. They're filled with fear and sadness. It's like he's afraid of losing the children's lives. He's hiding something. Something very painful. I can tell this is completely different from the Jack Frost secret.

As I left the rink I saw someone coming over to me. She had blonde hair like mine, but she looked tomboyish, I dare even say she is a tomboy.

"Um excuse me. Are you Elsa Arendelle?" She asks

"Yes, that would be me." Of course everyone would know me. My family is practically famous.

"Hi. I'm Astrid. Astrid Hofferson." She said shaking my hand. "I go to DisneyWorks University like you do." Well that explains it.

"Nice to meet you." I smiled.

"I was wondering if you could help me with something."

"Sure. I can help." I continued smiling.

"Um… can we talk outside?" She asked.

"Sure. I don't mind."

We walked around Central Park for a while. She started to explain something that required my advice.

"So what do need help with?" I asked.

"Well… You see…" She began with her face bright red. "There's this guy that I like. I need help approaching him." She put it bluntly.

"Wow. That's putting it mildly." I stare in awe. "But why do you need my help?"

"Not just yours. Jack's as well." She said. How does she know him? "I see you and him together all the time. So I figured I could get advise from both of you."

"Wait. Are you inclining that me and Jack are dating?" I asked.

"Yes?" She winced. My face went completely red. Though I dreaded it, the truth had to come out.

"Well… me and him aren't really dating." I sighed.

"Oh." Astrid sighed in defeat.

"But to be honest, I would like to."

"Really?"

"Yes. I have fallen in love with him." I smile while blushing.

Astrid stared in awe. "You are?"

"Yes. I love him so much. I was to tell him that I love him. Hold him. Kiss him." I continue smiling.

"That's wonderful. And so romantic." She complimented. "But what's stopping you?"

That's when my fantasizing stopped. "Because…" I sighed. "His life was in danger and therefore can't love him."

"That's terrible!" She scoffed.

"I know." I sighed. "But I'll help you."

"Oh thank you, Elsa." She held both my hands.

"So who is this guy you like?" I ask her.

"Oh. His name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the 3rd."

"Wait what?" I giggled.

"I know, I know." She giggled with me. "But I think it's kind of cute." Then we exchanged numbers. "Okay then. Meet me tomorrow after class. I'll show you what he looks like." She walks off and waves. "Thank you. Bye!"

"Goodbye Astrid!" I wave back. My thoughts once again return Jack. It's true what I said to Astrid. I have fallen in love with Jack Frost. I love him so much. He is the one thing that consumes my every waking moment.

JACK POV

I get back from work and immediately get to my room. The others greet me, I greet them back. Work today was the usual. Me and Kristoff work hard and get along really well. Mr. Arendelle however treats me like a fragile piece of glass. Why? I perfectly capable and yet he fears for my safety. Not that it's very generous it does raise a few questions. Maybe this can tell about the red powder in my medication. I rush to my room and sit at my desk. I start to wonder what the red stuff is. Luckily I managed to get a few of North's Guardian books. I scroll through and manage to find a few things about the strange red powder.

"Emotionnite." I read the name. "What is Emotionnite?" I scroll through and found out what it is. "A substance made by Valentine St. Heart back in the Italian Renaissance." It read. "It was made for the sole purpose of controlling one's uncontrollable emotions." I pause and the last part of the sentence. "During a time when the four fathers of the Italian Renaissance, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael, had high level of passion from their creative minds that urged their emotions to loose control. However before it could reach the peaks, St. Heart, who recently became the Guardian of Love, created an element that was invisible to the human eye but can be seen by other Guardians. He dubbed it Emotionnite. It was able to calm emotions in the nerves." I paused again and began to think why Heart would give me Emotionnite. Do I have unstable emotions? Then I continued reading. "Emotionnite is especially effective when dealing with a love sick heart." The last part made me wonder. Was I in love with someone? But the instant I think of who, my head starts to go in pain again. "ARGH!" I hiss in pain. This made me felt drowsy and I then flop on my bed and fall a sleep.

I wake up the next morning and looked at my clock. 7:56 AM. I decided to get ready, when my phone vibrated. Elsa sent me a text message.

I have a new friend who needs a little help and advise. Can we meet up after class? – Elsa.

I smile and texted back.

Sure. I don't mind. :) – Jack.

Yet another boring class with Weasletown. LOL It never gets old. Anyway, me and Elsa walked out of the class and saw a blonde girl waving at us. Elsa waves back. I'm guessing this is the friend she was talking about.

"Is that her?" I ask.

"Yep." She said.

"Elsa, hi." The blonde came to us.

"How are you?" Elsa smiled. "Jack this is Astrid."

"Nice to meet you, Jack." She shook my hand.

"You too." I shook back. "Elsa tells me you need help with something."

"Yes I do." Astrid said. Then she notices someone. "That's him!" She whispered loudly. Me and Elsa looked in her direction.

"Who? Where?" Elsa looked.

"Um, what's going on here?" I was confused on what was happening.

"There! You see him?" She pointed over to a dirty blonde guy. He looked nerdy and handsome at the same time. Wow, that's is actually very interesting.

"Is that him?" Elsa asked.

"Yes that's him." Astrid said. "So… how do I approach him?" She nervously asked.

"Um, I'm sorry I'm still confused." I said.

"Well-." Elsa began until someone else came.

"Hey Astrid!" We all turned to see a smug guy. Who the heck is this joker? "How's it going?"

"Not right now Snotlout." Astrid sighed. Me and Elsa couldn't help but hold in our laughs. Snotlout? Seriously? Who names their kid that?

"I just thought maybe we could go hit the movies." He smirked a smug. It was no question that this guy is hitting on her. Gutsy, but still laughable that it wasn't even funny but just plain weird. While we roll our eyes, Astrid then noticed the person just walked out the door.

"Oh no! He's getting away!" Astrid ran to the door.

"Wait up, for us!" Elsa chased after her.

"Couldn't someone please explain what's going on here?" I groan as I chased after the two. Surprisingly Snotlout kept talking to nothing. Wow this Joker is embarrassingly hilarious.

Elsa POV

The next thing we knew we we're following him. We all kept a distance from him so is not to raise any suspicion.

"Why are we following him?" Jack whisper to me.

"Beats me." I shrug.

"Hey wait a minute. This feels like the time when you followed me." He raised an eyebrow while smiling.

"S-Sorry." I blush red.

"Its okay, Snowflake." He chuckles, while patting my head. I went even redder, but I then smiled. I actually liked the way he patted my head like I was cat. And him calling me Snowflake adds to making me smile. It felt good.

We kept following Hiccup till we got to his home. Parc East Apartments. We saw him walk inside and we decided to stop and wait outside.

"Okay. NOW can someone explain to me what's going on here?" Jack spoke up.

"Oh yeah I forgot to fill you in. Sorry." I say feeling bad. I start to explain the whole the situation to him. When I met Astrid yesterday, how she told me she needed help with getting to talk this guy she likes. I leave out the part of her thinking me and Jack are a couple.

"Oh now I get it." Jack nods. "You know, if you really like this guy then you should follow what your gut, mind, and heart says. Trust me it never goes wrong."

Both me and Astrid are surprised at what Jack said. It makes me smile the way he explains to follow our hearts to someone we love. I don't know then and there, but I think my heart skips a beat. I think my heart tells me to confess to Jack. Tell him how I feel about him and tell him I love him. But then we see Hiccup exit the building with a black lizard in his hand.

"Hey he's on the move again!" Astrid whispers. Here we go again.

Jack POV

We followed him all the way to Central Park where he found a nice quiet spot and where there are no people. Well excluding us because we're quite literally stalking him. Honestly I felt bad doing this. We hid in the bushes and saw what he was doing. I then saw something that caught my eye, a moon stone necklace. That means that little lizard was a mythical creature like me.

"Okay buddy, let's get's some exercise." He told his little lizard. He removed the moon stone necklace from the little black lizard's neck. The little lizard jumped off Hiccup's arms and then suddenly changed into a dragon. It was no surprise that me, Elsa, and Astrid stared in complete awe.

"A dragon? He owns a dragon?" Elsa stares.

"How cool is that?" I smile widely.

"Way cool." Elsa agreed and smiled widely too. Astrid was still speechless.

We watched them what a man and his dog would do; play. Only except it's a dragon. Watching them play looked like fun. And I should know. I really enjoy seeing kids and people playing. It just makes me feel happy.

But then suddenly the big dragon stopped and sniffed.

"What is it, boy?" Hiccup asked. We knew what he was sniffing. Us. Then the dragon growled at it approached us. Then Hiccup started to realize we we're here. "Who's there?" He called. Busted.

We all came out. "Uh, sorry for spying on you." We winced.

"Wait! Told tell me you guys saw all that." He panicked.

"Uh, yeah we did." We winced.

"Duh-duh-duh, we're dead." Hiccup sighed in defeat.
