Chapter 4: Catch Up Time

The next morning, Erik woke up in a large double bed in his hotel suite. He quickly got dressed in one of his suits and decided to go inform his Queen on what they were going to do while they were staying in Burgess Erik wanted Queen Elsa to do Queen things such as meeting the mayor which Erik had arranged for that evening.

Erik excited his hotel room and headed along the corridor to the room next to his. Erik knocked on the door and was greeted by Jack who was wearing the same clothes that he had been wearing the night before but minus the shirt. Erik knew instantly that Jack had stayed the night.

"Hello Erik," Jack said with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Frost," Erik said sounding a little surprise.

"Erik," Elsa said appearing at the door and smiling.

Erik noticed that she was wearing pyjama pants and Jack's shirt.

"Your majesty, we have the meeting with the mayor this evening," Erik said quickly regaining himself.

"Oh I know," Elsa smiled, "but first," she turned to Jack, "is there something you want to do?"

"Maybe," Jack smiled.

Elsa and Jack exchanged some smiles while Erik just stood there.

"So I will expect you back here at seven then," Erik said.

"Yes," Elsa nodded before she and Jack headed back into their apartment.

Elsa and Jack headed back into their apartment after closing Elsa's hotel door behind them. Elsa wasn't looking forward to the meet and greet with the mayor but she figured that came with the job. She would much rather spend all her time with Jack while she could. Elsa quickly got changed and then threw Jack's shirt back at him and he put that back on.

"So what do you have planned for today?" Elsa asked him as she started to make herself a cup of coffee.

"Just a little something here and there," Jack said with a grin. "Thought I might give you the grand tour."

"Haha," Elsa said. "Well don't tell him but I hear our tour guide is extremely good looking."

"Oh he is," Jack laughed.

They headed out of Elsa's hotel room together and down the hall into the elevator which took them down into the lobby.

"Don't look now but I think we're being followed," Elsa said in a sarcastic tone.

Sure enough, behind them were a couple of Elsa's bodyguards. Jack took a look around and saw them. They gave a curt nod to him and he turned back to Elsa.

"We could ditch them," he said.

"We couldn't," Elsa said.

"What? Don't think I can protect you?"

"Jack, honey, I love you but you scream when you see a spider."

"Those things are dangerous!"

"Sure," Elsa said patting Jack on the shoulder, "but I think I might take my chances with the black suits."

"Okay," Jack grumbled.

Elsa smirked as Jack said this which didn't improve his mood. Elsa found a taxi to take her and Jack down to wherever Jack had his mind on them going. Jack told the driver where they were going and the driver started to drive. Elsa was trying to figure out where Jack and her were off too. He had told her that he wanted to give her the grand tour. Normally Elsa would assume that would have begun with Jack's family but they had already done that. What was on Jack's mind? Elsa was highly curious.

"Is the car behind us still following us?" Elsa asked Jack.

Jack turned around in his seat.

"Yep, the suits are still on our trail," Jack said.

Elsa took out her wallet and pulled out some American dollars and she leaned forward to the driver.

"Fifty bucks if you can lose the car behind us," she said to him.

"Challenge accepted," the driver said taking the money.

Elsa leaned back into the seat where Jack was looking at her with an amazed look on his face.

"You are not like any Queen I know," Jack whispered in her ear.

"I know," Elsa replied. "I like to think of myself more fun."

The driver soon took Elsa's challenged very seriously. He moved through the lanes of traffic quite easily and it wasn't long before they had lost the bodyguards.

"You know that may not be quite smart," Jack said.

"Oh hush," Elsa said. "I thought you were the expert on fun. Besides it was your idea anyway."

"I am," Jack said in an offended voice while Elsa rolled her eyes.

The driver soon stopped in front of small town square which in the middle stood a large fountain with a stature of a guy on a horse. From the fountain were four streets which led to different shops. Jack and Elsa got out of the taxi after Elsa paid the driver and they set off. Jack led Elsa to what looked like a pub called The Green Dragon and he pushed open the door.

"Hey Jack," said a girl behind the counter.

The girl was around Elsa's height with long brown hair that had been tied up in a loose ponytail. She wore a green apron over a blue shirt and a black skirt with black shoes to match. When she smiled, Elsa could see sparkling white teeth.

"Tooth," Jack said taking the seat in front of the bar. "Good to see you."

"Fancy seeing you here," the girl called Tooth said throwing the towel that she had been using to wipe down the bar over her shoulder. "It's pretty early. You usually come in around five."

"Well I have someone I want to introduce you to," Jack said nodding towards Elsa.

Elsa gave a nervous wave. Tooth then ducked out from behind the bar and started vigorously shaking Elsa's hand.

"Oh you must be Elsa," Tooth said still shaking Elsa's hand. "It's so very nice to meet you. Jack has told us so much about you and now we finally get to meet you in person!"

"Uh, thanks?" Elsa said.

"Tooth is one of my old friends from school," Jack said.

"Oh okay," Elsa said when Tooth had finally let her hand go which allowed Elsa to rub it as it was quite sore.

"Yeah me and Jacky go way back," Tooth said laughing.

"Jacky Tooth?" Jack asked.

"Just a little joke."

"Um sorry but why do they call you Tooth?" Elsa asked.

"Oh it's just a little nickname," Tooth said. "We all have them. Jack is Frosty, our friend Bunnymund is Bunny, another friend Sandman is Sandy and I'm Tooth!"

"Yeah but why Tooth?"

"Oh I just happen to have a fascination with teeth," Tooth explained. "It what caused me to become a dentist, well until I get my degree. Until then I'm working part time here to earn a little extra cash."

"Oh that explains it," Elsa said.

"So what about you Elsa?" Tooth asked. "You're from Norway right?"

"Yeah," Elsa nodded. "A place called Arendelle."

"Sounds beautiful," Tooth said in a mystical voice.

"It is," Jack laughed.

"So what do you do?" Tooth asked. "Wait let me guess!"

Tooth took a good look at Elsa.

"Do you work in retail?" she asked.

"No," Elsa shook her head laughing.

"Um, journalist?"

"No."

"How about the medical field?"

"Not that good enough."

"Engineer?"

"Still not good enough."

"MP?"

"Sort of close," Elsa reasoned with herself.

"Hmm, close to an MP," Tooth said thinking hard. "I give up. What do you do?"

"I sort of um, well, run my family business," Elsa said.

"What sort of business is that?"

"Well," Elsa said searching for the right words and looking for Jack for aid.

She luckily didn't have to go too much further. She was saved as Jack's name was suddenly was called out. The speaker was a large man in a red coat that matched his stature. He had a long white beard and white hair to match. The man looked like he was three times the size of any normal man. Elsa thought the man looked quite impressive.

"Jack m'boy," the man boomed in a thick Russian accent. "It is good to see you again."

"And you!" Jack said grinning up at him. "Elsa, this is North. Owner of The Green Dragon and a very close family friend."

"Hello North," Elsa said shaking his large hand which could give Hargrid's a run for his money.

"So you're the famous Elsa," North said. "Well Jack doesn't stop talking about you, that's for sure."

"Can't stop talking about me eh?" Elsa joked and poked Jack in the ribs.

"Shut up guys," Jack said giving them a glare which made them both laugh.

"Why are we shutting up?" said a voice behind them.

Elsa and Jack turned around. Two boys, who looked Jack's age, had just entered the pub and was grinning at them all.

"Bunny! Sandy!" Tooth said. "Come meet Elsa!"

"So she does exist?" Bunnymund joked. "It's good to finally meet you. I'm Bunnymund or Bunny and that's Sandman or Sandy."

"And you guys," Elsa smiled.

"So you guys must have known Jack for a while," Elsa said.

They were all grouped at a large table. Jack was sitting next to Elsa with North on his right. Elsa had been quite interested in meeting Jack's friends and Jack had been quite interested in showing her off to them.

"Yeah a long time," Tooth said.

"Sometimes too long," Bunnymund said.

"Play nice," Sandy said.

"You must have all kinds of stories that I haven't heard," Elsa asked with a bit of a grin on her face.

"Oh we do," Tooth said grinning. "Should we tell them now?"

"Uh," Elsa checked her watch. "Would love to but I have an engagement to get to sorry."

"What kind of engagement?" Sandy asked. "Sounds awfully fancy."

"It's just a dinner," Elsa laughed. She turned to Jack. "Jack, should we go?"

"Yeah okay," Jack said.

"We will do this another time though," Elsa said.

"Sure," Tooth said. "Come round for dinner tomorrow. I have the dinner shift so I shall be your sever."

"Sounds good," Elsa said. "See you tomorrow."

Jack and Elsa got up and North offered to drive them back to Elsa's hotel which they happily accepted. Twenty minutes later, (North knew some awesome shortcuts) they were outside Elsa's hotel.

"So am I coming to this thing tonight?" Jack asked Elsa as she collected her things.

"Yes," Elsa said giving him a kiss. "I need an escort."

"Erik won't mind?"

"He can mind, won't make a difference."

Jack grinned as he gave her another kiss. Jack watched as Elsa got out of North's car and headed into her hotel.

"She's a nice girl," North said.

"I know," Jack said grinning.

"Don't let her go," North advised Jack.

"Trust me, I know that will be the stupidest thing I could do."

Jack could see North smiling as he pulled out of the car park and headed in the direction of Jack's house.

Elsa entered the hotel where she could see her bodyguards giving her looks as she entered. Elsa felt a little guilty but also felt quite exhilarated. The bodyguards followed her quite closely into the elevator and into the corridor which Elsa's room was located. Erik was waiting in it looking anxious.

"I'm here," Elsa said. "It's only five thirty. I'm on time."

"Why did you ditch your bodyguards?" Erik demanded. "They're there to protect you."

"Oh calm down," Elsa said. "I was with Jack. It was fine."

Erik didn't look like he wanted to discontinue the conversation but he did anyway.

"So Jack will be accompanying me tonight," Elsa said.

"I figured that," Erik said holding up a tux on a hanger.

Elsa loved that Erik could know everything that needed to be done before it came up. Elsa smiled as she started to get ready. She got into the dress that Erik had laid out for her after she took a nice long hot shower. Afterwards she put on some nice jewellery such as necklaces and earrings.

"So what is tonight?" Elsa asked.

"A dinner with the embassies," Erik said. "Many have travelled here to say hello."

"For a royal from a small kingdom?"

"You are a Queen and they are paying their respects."

"That's nice."

Elsa emerged from her room fully dressed.

"Ready?" Erik asked.

"Ready," Elsa smiled.
