IT IS OVER 2,000 words, at a whopping , 3,700 words cuz I luv u all xD

Jamie's mouth remained open as he saw Jack get caught up in the bright light of the moonstone. As Jack left, Jamie tried to desperately grab him, instinctively by the arm, but he only grabbed air...The moonstone fell to the ground and lay there, dormant again, and Jack was gone. Patience blinked, letting out a small whistle, leaning on her broomstick's handle, a curious light in her honey-speckled dark brown eyes. "Wow...that's some stone. You weren't kiddin' kiddo," she chuckled.

Jamie turned, and glared at her. "I'm not a kid! Also, what the hell JUST happened?!" He picked up and held the moonstone in his hands. Patience walked over and held out her hand.

"Here, let me take a look," she said with a smile.

"No," Jamie replied curtly. He turned away and pocketed the moonstone into his jeans pocket. He really wished he had a sweatshirt now. He figured he'd stop by his house to get one. That also meant... " We need to get to Pitch as soon as possible...but..we need to get to Jack...can't you do some magic mojo? I don't think the stone wants to let ME go to wherever it is it sent Jack."

Patience tilted her head to the side cutely. "I could help you track Jack...however...I'd require a fee for my services," she said cheerfully. Jamie turned his head, his face falling.

"A fee?" He sounded deflated. Patience giggled.

"Yes, a fee, that'll be..." She started but Jamie held up his hands.

"I- I don't have any money on me," he said lamely. Patience quirked a brow.

"I have no use for money! I just have a simple request..." She said, clutching her broomstick and sweeping the floor with it.

"A...request?" Jamie asked.

"Well...I...I've always...wanted to uh...meet Santa..." She said softly.

Jamie blinked. "Wait, you're telling me," he repeated in disbelief, "...That you've never met the other Guardians? Even once?"

Patience nodded. "I'm...I'm not exactly considered an important Holiday...and kids don't really know...about my existence so I don't hold as much standing as the Tooth Fairy..." She explained. Jamie furrowed his brow. So she was basically like Jack had been before Jamie believed in him enough to make him real to kids, but for Patience, she wasn't even a story that kids knew. Jamie suddenly felt a bit bad for Patience. What was this feeling in his heart? It felt like an ache. He took a deep breath.

"I understand, help me get Jack back, and I'll definitely take you to see North!" Jamie said firmly. "We don't have the snowglobe...but I'm sure we can find another way!"

Patience's face lit up. "You mean it? You'll really take me to see Santa?"

Jamie nodded. "Yeah! I don't know why you didn't just go see them before but..." his voice trailed off as he saw her turn away, hugging herself suddenly. Her long sleeves looked pretty and Jamie had to tell himself to stop checking out her red and black stocking striped legs. He quieted down as she pulled out something from her pocket. It was a wand.

"...I couldn't be seen...because no one...no one knew my story...to be honest...I didn't think anyone would be able to see me...so the fact that you can...is puzzling..." She confessed, staring at him though she looked away. Jamie suddenly felt the urge to hug her. She sounded so mellow compared to earlier when she was all about flying and fun and giving him a heart attack.

"Well...does this mean the others can't...can't even see you?" Jamie asked quietly. Patience nodded. She turned away.

"I...I just wanted someone to believe in me..." She said softly. Jamie clenched his fists at his sides.

"I'll definitely help you, you can count on me!" He said fiercely. Patience smiled at him. "Now...how do we go about getting Jack back?"

Patience pointed to her cauldron. "I uh, I'll need to make a potion."

Jamie blinked. "A potion? So you really are a witch!" He said smirking. She glared at him.

"I am NOT a Witch...I'm a spell-caster, difference," she crossed her arms. Jamie still couldn't get over the fact that she was green. But suddenly, green on her...well it looked cute.

"What do you need, your Greenliness?" Jamie joked.

"I need eye of newt, tongue of dog, and lizard's eggs," she said lightly. Jamie's face fell.

"Uh..." was his smart response. He heard her chuckle.

"I'm just joking, silly," she giggled. "I...uh...can't actually do any magic, magic..." she confessed.

Jamie blinked. "What do you mean? You did some before when you poofed us here!"

"Well yes...simple magic sure...teleportation...and uh...candy giving...and uh...being visible on Halloween...that's all I can do really..." she admitted weakly.

"I don't believe that!" Jamie said fiercely, causing Patience to blink at him in confusion.

"What?" she asked.

"I don't believe that! You are magical right! I know you can do magical mojo, I mean, earlier, you flew! You were flying! I was flying!" Jamie threw his hands up, walking around Patience, gesturing with his hands, to express his explanation. Patience continued to lean on her broomstick. The low fire crackled in the fireplace, and the cauldron remained in the center of the room. The lamplight basked Jamie's face as well as the moonlight from the window he was by. Patience's small bed was in the corner, under the window, and Jamie looked around, really taking in this small cottage like feel of the place. He bit his lower lip. He took out the moonstone. He held it out to Patience.

"Go on...touch it," He said suddenly. "It may help...since you know...you're a spirit and all that..."

Patience gazed at the stone, and it's light reflected in her irises and Jamie found himself staring at her as she reached out a hand to brush her fingertips against the stone. They both held their breaths but nothing happened. Patience moved her hand away. "As I thought...the moon doesn't even acknowledge my existence," she chuckled weakly. Jamie glared at the stone.

"I acknowledge your existence!" He blurted, and he held up the stone to the moonlight. "If you don't accept her, then you're a rotten rock!" He glared at the stone. Patience suddenly giggled. He blushed, realizing he was yelling at a rock.

"You're a funny guy, Jamie Bennett," she laughed.

She reached out once more for the moonstone and this time when she touched it, it began to glow. With a gasp, they both stared as she took it into her hands. Her eyes widened. Jamie stepped back. "Go on...uh...do your thing!" He called out supportively. Patience looked to him.

"I-I don't know what I should do!" she sounded exhasperated.

"Uh...I don't know...chant a spell or something," Jamie said with a wave. "Like uh...Bring back what was lost, Allow it to be found uh...Jack sort of went missing...we'd sure like uh...have him come back around!" Jamie lamely tried to rhyme. Patience giggled.

"Ok...let me think..." She closed her eyes. She really felt the magic from the stone. Her heart felt funny, like it was excited...she was finally seen, after all those years of waiting. Someone believed in her, someone was depending on her, despite her being alone for all those years, and unseen and unheard by the other guardians...by the other myths and legends...finally...someone believed in her. "Magic Of The Earth...I...call upon you...I call upon the moon from where this stone came...bring back to us...Jack Frost...who being lost will be found...again![ ag"ane"]!" The moon suddenly glowed brightly and Patience felt it grow warm in her hands, and she dropped it from surprise. It glowed brightly between them, and suddenly, they heard an all too familiar yell land on the bed.

"Whoooooaaaa!?" Jack yelped, landing on the bed with an oomph. Patience and Jamie gasped. Jamie instantly ran to Jack's side, but his eyes widened. Jack sat up, rubbing his head, and Jamie's jaw dropped.

"Y-you're...you're human..." Jamie said dumbfounded.

"And I'm alive...apparently," Jack suddenly sat up, feeling his chest and arms, and face. "...I'm alive..." he suddenly let out a whoop, jumping up on the bed. "Haha! I'm ALIVE! TAKE THAT PITCH, YOU SON OF A-" he stopped suddenly, seeing how Jamie was staring at him open mouthed. Jack deflated quickly, landing back on the bed with a whump.

"Uh...is this really Jack Frost?" Patience asked with a quirked brow. "He's more brown than I remember..."

"It's the moon's fault I'm like this," Jack clarified. He gave Jamie a bear hug though. "I am SO GLAD TO SEE YOU!" He stepped back and Jamie continued to stare. Jack furrowed his brow. "How DID you guys...get me back?"

"Uh...moonstone," Patience held it up. Jamie however took a step back. Jack saw his face brim with awe. Jack waved a hand in front of his face.

"Hellooo? Anyone home?" Jack asked.

"...You're...you're really him..." Jamie blurted.

Jack blinked. "Huh?"

"Jack...Jack Bennett...my great great great..." Jamie said in awe. "...Uncle..."

Jack blinked. "What? Uh...no..no..I"m Jack Frost!" He said quickly. Jamie shook his head.

"No, You're definitely Jack Bennett...wait till I tell my MOM!" Jamie sounded excited. Jack winced and held up his hands.

"No! You can't!" He said quickly.

Jamie's excitement quickly turned to confusion."What do you mean?! I think...I think it'd be great to know that our ancestor didn't die!" He crossed his arms. Jack bit his lower lip. Now he understand why the Tooth Fairy emphasized leaving the past in the past.

"Jamie, look, what's past is meant to stay in the past," Jack tried to explain but Jamie furrowed his brow.

"That's great and all...but where do you plan to stay looking like THAT?" Jamie levelly interjected.

Jack's heart sank. "Uh...here...I'll stay here..." He said, beckoning to Patience's little home. Patience snorted.

"IF yer stayin', you better be good at finding food for yourself because I don't make food," she quirked a brow.

"Why not? Isn't that something you do here?" Jack asked puzzled. Jamie and Patience shared a look. Patience rolled her eyes.

"Jack, I don't know how to lay it to ya, but...I'm a ghost, I don't actually NEED to eat. You on the other hand...are human...though why you can still see me is beyond me..." She held up her hands. Jack furrowed his brow.

"What's THAT supposed to mean?" Jack scoffed.

"She means...normally people around your age have outgrown...you know...The Guardians..." Jamie said softly. "...Just like what you guys tried to do to me...make me outgrow you..." He sounded hurt and Jack gulped.

"Ah...well...maybe the moon means to let me still see you guys..." He turned to the spirit of All Hallow's Eve hopefully. Patience shrugged.

"At least you see me..." She turned away.

Jack blinked. Jamie spoke up. "She's invisible to the others Jack...not only do Kids not know she exists...neither do the Guardians..." He sounded sad. Jack's heart sank. He knew what that felt like. He scratched his head. Jamie however stepped towards Jack.

"Jack, where is your staff?" he asked.

"My staff. that..." Jack's voice trailed off. "...It's gone..." he finished, and the impact finally hit him. How was he supposed to go back to being Jack Frost without that staff?! He looked to Jamie.

"I need the Moonstone!" He held out his hand expectantly but Jamie shook his head.

"I...I don't know why...but I feel like you're meant to come back with me first...after all, we have to plan on how to defeat Pitch..." Jamie said.

"That's great and all, but I need to go back and retrieve my staff!" Jack said, glaring at the moonstone.

"Will you come back with me...to my home if you get your staff back?" Jamie inquired, still clutching the stone. Jack rolled his eyes.

"Sure! Sure I will!" He said. Suddenly, there was a faint popping noise and they all looked to Patience's bed. There on the bed, was Jack's staff, HEALED and whole again. Jack ran over, and grabbed it. Oh sweet mother of all things sweet! He whooped. "HaHA! Manny's gone and done it again..." his laughter quickly was replaced with bewildered exhasperation. "Why does he keep fixing my staff at the moments when I DON'T NEED IT MOST?!" He glared up at the moon suddenly. His eyes widened. "..Time.." He looked to Jamie and Patience. "It was day time...over where I was...so...the time zones are evidently different..."

"I'd like to know where you went," Jamie crossed his arms, quirking a brow at Jack. Patience fiddled with her broomstick, watching the events unfolding and finding it amusing. She had never had company, and she felt a sense of warmth knowing that there was not one but two people who could see her! She was also getting steadily curious about this Man In The Moon...and that stone...She was drawn to it, but why, she didn't know.

"Uh...I was...I was landed someplace with lots of snow," Jack beat around the bush.

"Really?" Jamie blinked. "Hmmm...well you mentioned Pitch...where is HE?"

"I...I don't actually know," Jack suddenly felt a sense of dread. He had hoped he'd gotten Pitch with the Chandelier, but how was he to know that Elsa was alright?

"Well, we can do more thinking back at my house! I know my parents will probably be worried sick since I've been gone...for uh...nearly 24 hours..." Jamie said briskly.

"Ok, you go back and I'll stay here and-" Jack began but Jamie quirked a brow.

"You're coming with me," Jamie said suddenly very firm. Jack paused. Since when did Jamie get all authoritative?

"Uh...no I'm not," Jack said childishly.

"Yes, yes you are you see," Jamie quirked a brow, "...you need to eat, and in order to eat, you need money, which you have none and I hate to break it to you...but...you're human. SO unless you want to let your ignorance guide you to starvation, I'd suggest you come with me," Jamie said lightly. Jack pouted. Yet, with a sinking heart he knew that Jamie was right. Scowling, and NOT liking being told what to do by a guy who was 310 years younger than him, yet...more advanced, so was that making him older? No, No! Jack shook his head. His stomach suddenly growled loudly. Patience laughed.

"Well, looks like it's two against one...buddy," she grinned. "Since you two are leaving, I'm going to go and take a small flight of fresh air!" She left with her broomstick and Jack and Jamie were left alone in her small home.

"Ugh, fine..." Jack groaned. Jamie's face lit up and he held up the stone.

"Please...take me and Jack home, Man In The Moon," Jamie said politely. Jack scoffed.

"That's not going to work, I've been asking that guy questions and for things for YEARS and he never once answered-" Jack scoffed but suddenly he felt himself land in soft snow outside of a familiar house. Untangling himself from his bear cloak, he saw Jamie run up the steps to the house and saw how his parents suddenly glomped him and yelled at him a little about his whereabouts and Jamie asking for forgiveness and Jack's heart fell. "...my...questions..." He pouted. He saw Jamie point to him and Jack suddenly felt very, very self concious. He saw a woman -the mother- walk down the steps and she extended her hand to him, and smiled at him with those hazel eyes, and her brown hair was tied back in a bun. She wore blue and white plaid collared shirt and blue jeans.

"Hello, my name is Casey Bennett," She smiled at him. "Jamie tells me you're a friend from school!" Jack took her hand, though in a daze. "You can call me Mrs. Bennett or Momma Hen, all of Jamie's friends do," she laughed. " I appreciate you letting Jamie stay with you... I'm sorry that he is such a bother, but he's my son, and I love him anyhow...uh...I'm surprised to hear that you are a distant relative of ours, I've never heard of you," she smiled at him. Jack smiled awkwardly back and peeked around her, to Jamie who was beckoning him to come inside. Jack mouthed to him, "You told her distant relative?!" and Jamie mouthed back, "VERY VERY distant," and Jack rolled his eyes.

"Thank you, Mrs...Bennett," Jack found it strange to hear that name...hell, he found it wierd to be interacting with his future family...especially since he used to watch them all as Jack Frost for years. He followed Jamie into the house and he looked around the small living room. The house was well furnished but Jack felt so out of place. Jamie tugged Jack up to his room and Jack remained quiet the whole time. Jamie began to talk animatedly.

"So, I said I found you on AncestryTreeLife," he explained. Jack blinked.

"On what?" he repeated.

"Oh right, you don't use the internet," Jamie grinned, "I told my ma that you're 18 and living on your own and you're a distant cousin of the Bennetts, but your family sort of...dropped off somewhere, you know," he shrugged. " AncestryTreeLife is a cool site, and because of it, mom actually believed me," Jamie snickered. "Come on, you can sleep here," he pulled out a blue sleeping bag and tossed it on the floor. Jack stared at it.

"I have to sleep on the floor?" Jack blurted childishly.

Jamie paused, halfway into his own bed but he got out of it. "If you'd like...we'll switch places," he said gently. Jack suddenly felt like a brat and he shook his head. He felt bad.

"No, No...It's...I'm fine," He shifted into the sleeping bag. It felt so wierd. To be able to feel. TO be...to be human in this house he'd watched over for so many years. TO actually be seen by the very woman he used to wish...Jack's heart sank. On down days, he used to wish that Casey Bennett was his mother, or hell, anyone that was alive at the time in that house. He had missed having a mother ...having a father...having siblings and a house...and ...and here he was...with all that...but it wasn't his...it never would be, it wasn't meant to be. Jack felt lost. He heard Jamie click off the light and yawn.

"We gotta recharge, but in the morning, you and I, we need to figure out what to do about Pitch!" Jamie yawned. Jack curled up in his sleeping bag, and it was only a few minutes before he heard Jamie snoring. However, Jack stayed awake much longer, though fatigue pulled at his eyelids, causing them to droop, Jack rolled on his side, and sat up. He couldn't sleep. Shifting out of his bag, he grabbed the staff Jamie had placed against the dresser, and he held the staff in his hands. He looked to Jamie who was comedically sprawled in his sheets, snoring like a newborn babe. He took a deep breath and opened up the door to come face to face with an older Sophie. Her hair was still blonde, and it was still messy but it was less of a little kid hair do, and it was definitely more mature looking. Her emerald green eyes widened to meet his widened brown eyes. Her mouth opened.

"My brother has cute friends?" she blurted incredulously. Jack blinked.

"What? Oh...uh..." He didn't know what sort of teenage comment that was.

"You're so cute! I can't wait to tell my friends on facebook, hey, hold still for a sec, wouldja?"She snapped a phone camera at him and it was on Flash so Jack winced. He blinked, seeing stars but Sophie already took off giggling to her room. Jack's eyes widened. Oh no! There was no way pictures of HIM could get on the internet! Jack didn't know much about it, but he knew if someone from the past was seen on facebook of all places...

"W-Wait! Sophie!" He dashed after her. Oh man, why did stuff always have to happen to him?
