For the First Time in Forever

Jack took Elsa up to the top of the mountain and waited patiently as she took in how beautiful the land was under a blanket of snow. "So? What do you think?"

"I think it's amazing," she whispered, awe coloring her voice. "I did this?"

"Yep."

"It's beautiful." Jack looked at the snow queen and a funny little smile tugged at his lips. "Yep."

Then he cleared his throat and swept into a bow. "Would Her Majesty care to build a snowman with a lowly winter spirit like me?" Elsa looked startled by the familiar question, but she allowed a small hesitant smile on her face. Jack decided she was much prettier when she was smiling. "My Majesty would."

Jack laughed and stuck his staff in the snow, leaving it standing upright as he got down on his hands and knees, gathering great piles of snow in his arms. Elsa carefully knelt down and did the same. When she looked up at the Guardian, he was rolling a large round ball that came to his knee. She smiled as he started on the torso and began to craft the head and feet. Small stones and sticks for eyes and hands were easy to find and Jack came back with some long pine needles for hair. Elsa dusted some powder of her dress and waved her hand over the piles. The flurry swept them into a girl-like body. Jack snorted. "This turned out a snowwoman."

"I think she'd cute," giggled Elsa. She waved her hand again and an icicle flower appeared in her pine needle hair. "There. Now she's perfect!"

"So. What's her name?" Jack asked as they turned away to go back to the ice palace.

"What?"

"Well," he said smiling, "when you were little, there was Olaf, who liked warm hugs."

Elsa looked startled. "You remember that?"

"I remember everything about you…. Wow that sounded stalker-ish. I mean I watched you and Anna a lot as you grew up... Ok that sounded worse." He frowned when he saw her shoulders shaking and heard faint giggling. "Are you laughing at me?!"

Elsa's giggles subsided and said gently, "You're a sweet man Jack. Thank you. I'm glad to know someone was looking out for me, even if I couldn't see."

He coughed in embarrassment and cleared his throat. "So…a name?" She thought for a moment. "How about… Heidi? Heidi who likes Eskimo kisses."

Jack smiled. "That's nice. Better than what I was thinking anyway."

"Oh? And that was…?" They didn't notice as they walked away that Heidi who likes Eskimo kisses had blinked and started waddling down the mountain.

Jack sat for another couple hours with Elsa in her palace before telling her that he needed to get going. "Do you really have to go?" Elsa liked having Jack around. He made her feel loved and accepted. She hadn't felt that in a long time. "You're the first person I've talked to in… a very long time."

Jack frowned. "What? I distinctly remember a hyper-active little sister named Anna. You two were close." Elsa looked away. "Ah. I see. You kept her away."

"I didn't want to hurt her. Again." Jack slowly shook his head. "You shouldn't have done that. Anna loves you and she loves you. You wouldn't have hurt her."

"But I already did!" Elsa wrapped her arms around herself. "Jack, she almost died remember? I can't let that happen again."

Jack put an arm around her. "I know Elsa. But I still think you went about it the wrong way."

She sighed. "Maybe…" She didn't look convinced. "It's too late now."

"With the folks you love, it's never too late. Why don't you chew on what we talked about for a while Elsa? I'll come visit soon."

Just then they heard the great front doors open. Elsa looked startled. "Who could that be?"

Jack shrugged. "Anna, most likely. Who else would follow you up here?"

"Her fiancé maybe." Jack looked surprised. "Anna's engaged? When did that happen?"

"Yesterday."

"…She's marrying a guy she just met?" Elsa nodded. "Yes."

"Does she realize how insane that sounds?"

"She claims it's true love." Now it was Jack's turn to look unconvinced. "I want to go take a look at this fellow. What's his name?"

"Hans." Jack smirked. "Excuse me Elsa. I won't be long!"

Jack jumped on his staff and floated down to the foot of the palace. There was a reindeer at the bottom of the steps that looked vaguely familiar and a blonde man in furs and warm winter clothing sat on the stoop with… talking snow people?

Jack could not believe his eyes. Heidi the Snow girl who likes Eskimo kisses had come to life? And was that…

"Olaf?"

The snowman stopped his counting. "Hi Mr. Floating Boy! Do you like warm hugs?"

"Olaf, who are you talking to?" asked the man. Jack assumed that this rugged mountain man was Hans. Who else could he be?

"Well Anna, you have good taste I guess. And he seems pretty capable. Hey pal, put off the wedding for another couple months at least!"

Olaf laughed and Heidi giggled. "Hello Mr. Jack Frost!"

"Jack Frost? You're joking! GrandPabbie told me about him but I haven't seen him since I was- Oh there you are."

Jack gaped at the man. "You can see me? Are you kidding?! Man, you Arendelle folks are really attuned to spirits aren't you?"

The man opened his mouth to answer but Olaf yelled, "60! Anna here I come!"

Heidi squealed in delight. "Anna and Elsa! Yay! Warm hugs and Eskimo kisses!"

"Yes! Warm hugs and Eskimo kisses Heidi!"

"Wait guys! And they're gone." The man sighed and Jack suddenly remembered the little boy that lived with the trolls. "Hey… Is your name Hans?"

He gave the Guardian a strange look. "Uh, no. It's Kristoff. Hans is a prince and I'm… not." Jack looked at him, blinking. "Hey, are you…?" He trailed off frowning. The temperature was dropping fast. Jack looked up at the balcony and saw a giant flurry whirling around. His frown morphed into a look of alarm. "Oh no."

Kristoff looked startled. "What?"

"Go to Anna now!" He whistled and jumped on his staff and flew up to the balcony. He flew through the double doors and skidded to a halt as Elsa screamed, "I can't!"

Magic flew out of her and Jack yelled as it slammed into him. He coughed and groaned. He heard a moan and looked over at Anna. She was on the floor, arms wrapped around herself.

"Anna!" Kristoff ran into the room, sliding on his knees to the younger princess. "You're ice cold."

Elsa turned away. "Go. Now!" She thrust her hands out in front of her and her magic formed a giant snow monster. It scooped up Kristoff, Anna and the snow people and threw them out. Then it looked at Jack and reached for him.

"No!" Elsa moved in front of the Guardian. "Not him. I need him."

Jack groaned again and noticed all the walls icing over. They looked more harsh than beautiful now. "Elsa… you need to calm down." But she wasn't paying attention to him anymore. She was pacing the room, muttering frantically. "Conceal, don't feel. Conceal, don't feel. Ooohhh. Oh no."

He groaned again and pushed himself to his feet. Elsa looked at him, the fear in her eyes making them large and vulnerable. Jack put his hands on her shoulders and his eyes met hers. They both saw matching snowflakes in the other's eyes. "You'll be okay. I promise."

Elsa whimpered and fell into his arms. Her tears were hot against his cool skin and he smoothed back her bangs. "We'll be okay."
