AN: Hey guys. It's been quite a while sine I posted a chapter for anything. Feel free to call me an ass for that, but life has been quite crappy for a while now. I'm still a bit down so I am not going to apologize for the late post. Maybe writing out a fun chapter and interacting with you guys will make me feel better. Who knows :/ Life can suck sometimes.


Jack quietly watched the fragmented groups happily chat amongst each other while he played with his IPhone in his hands. The ROTG crew were laughing together by the small table. He smirked when he noticed his teenage nephew trying to flirt with the actress who had successfully played out the role of Tooth Fairy in the film. Just by watching Benjamin, he instinctively knew that the boy would stir up quite some storm during his high school years.

Meanwhile in the Frozen group, Anna was giggling next to the actor who played Hans while Olaf kept popping in cubes of cheese in his mouth. Chris kept their attention at bay as he continued to flatter the actors and actresses. It was a bit amusing to watch because Jack was fully aware exactly how charming his brother-in-law could be.

Then there were the two minor groups that merged together to form a bigger group. He continued to toy with the cellphone and silently dubbed the largest group the title of: past and future colleague/friend group... it wasn't very original. It was the least talkative group since most of the people didn't know each other. Some of them knew each other because they worked with Jack in the Armani Code advertisement, meanwhile the other guests were his future colleagues for the Into the Woods musical.

Everyone was having fun and enjoying their time, but it was troublesome for him... the guests weren't engaged enough. They could easily turn around or leave the group... it wasn't safe for Elsa or Emma to come out of the guest room. He replaced the cellphone in his pocket and left the party to go find his old guitar. He rushed down to the basement and turned on the lights. Jack drank a mouthful of wine and turned on the speaker.

He brought out his IPhone and texted his older sister: [Come out in 10-15 mins... we'll be in the basement or something. Try not to get caught.]

The text message was sent and he wondered which song would be appropriate... he turned on the microphone and tapped it a few times, before shouting, "Hey where's the drums?!"

Jack smiled once he heard the sounds of feet shuffling upstairs. He could imagine everyone getting confused, except for Chris and Benjamin who were fully aware of his scheduled plan. The celebrity began to play his guitar loudly and tapping his left foot in beat to the song, Classic by one of his favourite bands: MKTO. He grinned brightly as Chris and Ben guided the rest of the guest down the stairs. A lot of them looked surprised, but they soon laughed as Ben ran next to his side and jumped in to play the drum set.

Ben excitedly called out to his father, "Come on Dad, play the keyboards!"

Chris sighed dramatically and the others cheered to join the performance. Then Chris jogged onto the stage and played the keyboards. Meanwhile, Jack leaned towards to microphone and sang, "Oh girl, you're shining like a 5th avenue diamond and they don't make you like they used to. You're never going out of style."

Everyone seemed to enjoy him performing a song for them as they all cheered loudly. Then Benjamin also sang while pointing to the female guests, "Ooh pretty baby, this world might have gone crazy. The way you save me, who can blame me when I just wanna make you smile?"

Jack and Chris rolled their eyes while the other male guests chuckled and said, "Yup, he learned things from his uncle."

He smiled smugly while jumping off the low platform and confidently walked towards the ROTG group. Isabel extended her hands invitingly for a friendly dance and he easily spun her around as he sang, "I wanna thrill you like Michael, I wanna kiss you like Prince, let's get it on like Marvin Gaye like Hathaway. Write a song for you like this."

Chris, Jack, and Ben continued to amuse everyone and dance with everyone. Then in the crowd, Jack noticed that Elsa and his sister managed to mingle into the crowd while Kristoff was doing a love duet with Anna. Elsa was giggling with his older sister and Chris. Then the couple walked off to dance on their own which left Elsa alone on the dance floor.

He quietly approached her and greeted, "Hey stranger."

She smiled back and replied, "Hi stranger."

He offered his hand for a dance which Elsa accepted shyly. He lead her closer to the music and gently cupped his large hands around her waist while she placed her hands on his broad shoulders. Jack whispered quietly into her ears, "You are getting good at this game, stranger."

Elsa laughed, but didn't reply back. However, she remarked, "I didn't know you could sing and play instruments Mr. Pine. And you are not a bad dancer either."

Jack smiled softly and asked, "Thank you, but wait..you watched my performance?"

She said, "Yeah, at the top of the staircase with your sister. You might want to change your occupation one day."

He chuckled and said, "Yeah, but we are both talented at fooling people. I think we are better off as an actor and an actress."

They both smirked over their little secret like little children until the duet came to an end. Then they broke apart from their dance position and clapped for Kristoff and Anna. Suddenly, Alan and Henry rushed towards Jack and said, "Dude, that was a Frozen team singing. It's our turn man."

The actor chuckled as he noted that the two were slightly drunk with their reddened cheeks. He turned and grinned a cocky smile and said, "Excuse me, Ms. Elsa. You heard my ROTG brothers, we can't lose to you."

However, before he left, he leaned and whispered, "This performance will be better than the first one... because some people say that I dance better than singing." She raised her brow inquisitively by his suggestive tone as he playfully winked at her. She watched the three men walk to the stage.

Instead of using the instruments, Alan started using the stereos and mixing the songs. Perhaps it was because people drank quite the amount of alcohol, but the cheers were louder. Ben, who did not drink, shouted, "Uncle Jack, you can't beat my solo performance from earlier!"

Henry roared a laughter and said, "Little boy, you cannot compete with your uncle yet."

At that time, Jack whipped the scarf off and unbuttoned the three buttons from his dress shirt. Meanwhile, Henry ripped off his shirt, but kept his tie on. The reaction from all of the women were loud and full of squeals while Emma muttered, "Oh my God."

Chris knowing what Jack was about to do started laughing and clapping and Isabel also started laughing. Henry commented, "Frozen cast may sing, but the cast from ROTG are dancers. That means you too, Isabel, come join us."

The actress laughed and joined the team. Jack started by doing a back flip off of the stage and just before landing onto the floor, he used the face of the palms to slow down the speed, then used his shoulder and his back to spin quickly like a top. Then he quickly leapt up to his feet by using his arm muscles. Meanwhile Henry faked the lean and twisted his body to the side to do a spin. Then he allowed Anna to lead him by the tie as Henry continued to dance suggestively with her. Then Isabel moved towards Jack as he grabbed her around her hips and her arm snaked around his neck before dropping down to do a complete split.

A lot of 'oohhs' erupted in the room while Jack supported Isabel. She looked up at him with a coy smile and he smiled back until he noticed Santino roughly grab Elsa's wrist and take her upstairs. This caused Jack's smile to disappear immediately as Elsa looked very uncomfortable. Without thinking, he let go of Isabel and stalk after the two and did not notice the festive mood also disappear as the guests watched their host stomp off.


When Jack followed Elsa and her ex-boyfriend, he found them in his kitchen as Santino hiss angrily as he shook her roughly, "What the hell are you thinking? Actually I have a better fucking idea, what are you doing here? Dancing with Jack Pine so cozily earlier? You ignore my calls, but you suddenly show up in order to go out partying with another guy? Are you trying to make me feel more guilty?"

Then Elsa forcibly yanked her arm out of his grip as she yelled, "You are such a fucking ass! Everything is about you! I don't want to see you and your action caused the end of our relationship."

He pushed her back to the wall and argued back, "It was a mistake and I think I apologized enough. When are you going to forgive me?"

Jack watched enough as he could see her legs trembling beneath her although her face showed no emotion except raw rage. Watching him and treating her so horribly was more than enough to make his blood boil. In a very low voice, he growled, "Isn't that for her to decide, not you?"

The two looked at him in surprise and Santino spat, "This is none of your business. Get out of here."

Feeling angrier, he crossed his arm while sneering, "It became my business and this place happens to be my house. Mind your manners."

The fury he felt within him seemed to radiate from his skin as the atmosphere quickly turned heavy. His cutting glare was focused on Santino and the man seemed to realize that he had crossed the line. Then Santino dared to ask, "So the gossips are true then. You two are dating. Otherwise, why would you be shielding her?"

Jack stepped into the dark kitchen and coolly replied,"I don't need to date a woman to protect her," he glanced at Elsa who was still backed up against the wall, "and she happens to be my guest... no. Elsa Menzel is my friend and I will never permit anyone to harm her."

It pained him greatly to watch her beautiful crystal like blue eyes to be hazed with tears which were threating to spill over. Jack cleared his throat before coldly stating, "Mr. Miller, I know for a fact that I did not invite you and now with this poor display shows me that Elsa would not have invited you to this event either."

The fellow actor gulped and answered, "No, Mr. Pine. I was invited by Anna."

Jack retorted, "And this clearly wasn't her party, hence she had zero authority to invite you into my home. But despite this, when you arrived, I generously allowed you in. I didn't want to be rude. However, you have crossed the line with this behaviour. You are no longer welcomed here. Please leave. Now."

Santino meekly replied, "Of course."

As the man left the room, Jack abruptly gripped on his arm and loudly ordered, "Apologize to her."

Santino looked greatly displeased- rather humiliated, before he turned to face the actress and politely say, "I am deeply sorry for my actions, Elsa."

Jack kept his icy eyes on his back as the man left his manor. Then he turned to face Elsa, who was still putting up a brave front. He felt uncertain because he didn't know what was the proper way to handle the situation, but he was certain that she could need some comfort. So Jack stepped closer to her and gently embraced her without a word and as he did, he could feel her tremble slightly and he whispered, "I am sorry."

They weren't sure how long they hugged each other, but Jack soon let her go and faintly said, "It would be best if you go home."

She weakly nodded her head in agreement and when they walked down the corridor, they noticed the other guests silently holding their breaths. Jack stoically said, "I think it's time for Ms. Menzel to go home... actually, it would be best if everyone started to go home. Thank you."

Emma and Anna quickly went to comfort Elsa who remained mute and unresponsive. Then he turned to his best friends and his brother-in-law and quietly said, "Could you possibly help clean the house? I probably should drop Elsa home...and please don't mention this to anyone."

The cast from the Rise of the Guardians quickly replied, "Of course, Jack."

He quickly gave his guests a brief hug before calling out to Elsa, "Elsa, come with me."

Jack led her to his empty bedroom and draped her shoulders with one of his leather jackets and said, "We will be using my motorcycle to take you home. The helmets will keep our faces hidden... I will be right back. I need to grab the helmets."

He rushed to fetch his two plastic helmets and returned to Elsa's side, but found her exhausted on his bed. Jack softly knelt before her and said, "I will take you home quickly, you must be tired... um.. but could you please tie your hair?"

Elsa remained silent, but she did as she was asked and tied her hair. Then Jack knelt in front of her again and gently tucked her loose hair into the helmet. Then an unexpected tear spilled down from her eye and Jack gently wiped it away with his finger and stared into her eyes before he used the eye shield to cover her face. Next Elsa grabbed her belongings, but Jack said, "Um.. my sister can take it to your house tomorrow or something because you won't be able to carry that while riding the motorcycle with me..."

So they offered her luggage to Emma before they headed out to the garage.

First, he helped Elsa mount the bike because she was wearing her gorgeous dress and then climbed onto the vehicle. Then he quickly said, "I know you don't want to talk, but could you possibly tell me your address?"

She feebly replied the address and before Jack opened the garage door, he warned, "Hey, there are going to be annoying assholes called the media so I am going to race out of here so hold on tight."

As the engines of his black motorcycle rumbled loudly, Elsa finally whimpered, "I am so sorry. I might as well be blowing up your plan."

To lighten the mood, Jack said, "Maybe my sister didn't tell you, but I really suck at giving up my brilliant ideas. So failure is not an option. I will blast us out of here... and none of this was your fault."

He wasn't sure if his joke managed to make her laugh or smile, but he smiled when she tightly squeezed herself onto his stomach. As the garage door opened, Jack zipped up his leather jacket and allowed the motors to roar viciously. Their speed quickly accelerated as the reached the entrance door which was opening and as they passed through the exit, fireworks of camera flashes erupted around them.

They raced through the velvety darkness where nothing stood to block their way. Jack estimated that the ride would take about an hour and as they drove through the empty streets which were littered with leaves. Then he said, "It's going to be a long ride... and I know you are upset back there. But if you want, you can cry... nobody will be able to see you and thanks to my amazing motors, I won't be able to hear either. Sometimes, crying is the best way to get rid of your sadness and anger."

He continued to focus on the road and he knew that he told a lie. He was able to hear sobs break out behind him and he could feel her body shake and her grip tighten on him. Nevertheless, he pretended he didn't know what was happening and simply stared at the dark path where neither Jack or Elsa knew what future had in store of them.


Wow, I also feel much better. :) And now I can't wait to hear from you guys because it has been such a long time since I wrote this much. Please review and make me happy. Please :) Thanks guys. I miss you.
