When Jack reached the Pole again it was night and only the Guardsmen Yeti's were awake and Tooth and Sandy were off doing their jobs.

Sneaking in through his window, Jack quietly closed it and went over to his bed and turning on the reading lamp, began to read what the cream said.

For itchy skin this cream reduces the feeling and signs of a rash within 24 hours

Still not trusting Pitch that this could be just a normal skin cream, Jack just placed it in his draw for the moment, turned off the light and rolled over trying to ignore the feeling his wrists, and now his lower arms were giving him.

The next morning the Pole more crowded than usual, seeing as there were more people staying there.

The strange thing is... Although Jack wanted to be noticed for so much for so long, he didn't really like crowds.

When he got to the Dining Room of the Pole everyone fell silent and stared at him.

Going about his daily business of getting himself breakfast, Jack didn't notice until he sat down.

"What?" he asked looking up bringing a spoon to his mouth.

"You alright today Jack?" North asked the first question getting a nod in return.

"Why? And why are you all staring at me?" he asked snapping everyone back to their food and pretending to finish their conversations, as he scratched his arm.

"It's just you look... Paler than usual," Bunny said trying to find the right word that wouldn't make the boy lash out.

"Huh?" Jack asked picking up his spoon and using it as a mirror seeing the rabbit was right.

"I'm sure it's nothing Bunny," Jack said shaking it off "Probably just because I over did it on expressing my anger yesterday when I was out." Jack said hoping they would buy it.

"So where did you go after you left Jack?" Snotlout asked poking at the toaster despite the warning everyone who knew about electricity said.

"None of your business Snotface," Jack mumbled as he continued with his cereal.

"Well as we were talking about before you came in Jack," Tooth said trying to stop a fight happening "We were talking about seeing if you kids can see if you can find the objects for Hiccup, Merida, and Rapunzel, and wondering who's might be easier to go get first."

"We were just about to get you actually because is seems you know our kids better than the rest of us put together," Stoick said slapping his nephew's hand which was holding a metal knife away from the toaster. "And had ideas that you might have some ideas on what the objects might be?"

"Nope sorry, nothing springs to mind," Jack said after a minute "Though shouldn't it be them who finds the objects themselves? It is them these things changed. How is anyone else meant to know that the objects in question are what turned them to who they are today?" Jack asked getting looks of surprise.

Finishing up, Jack placed his bowl by the sink, and went back to his room scratching his wrists again.

Once he got there he immediately ran to his bedside draw, and pulled out the cream. Rolling up his sleeves, Jack tried not to freak out when he saw his wrists were all black and blotchy and there was some flaking too.

Remembering what the cream said, Jack went to his private bathroom and quickly ran his wrists under the tap dabbing them dry trying not irritate the skin anymore than it was. As soon as they were dry, his need overriding his 'This-Is-From-Pitch' warnings, Jack applied the cream and right away felt much better.

After he had rubbed it in on both wrists, Jack rolled his sleeves back down and capping the cream placed it back in his draw.

"Hopefully I won't need it that often," he said to himself. "Only when it's needed," he promised.

Hiccup and the teen Vikings were down in the stables tending to and seeing their dragons.

"I don't trust Jack all that well guys," Fishlegs said washing behind Meatlug's ears.

"Why not?" Tuffnut asked brushing Belch's teeth for him "He seems fine to me."

"Me too," Ruffnut said tending to Barf's teeth. "Besides anyone that cute cannot be that bad." she said.

"I can't believe I'm going to say this Fishlegs, but I agree with the Twins," Astrid said washing Stormfly until her scales gleamed "I mean yeah he can get a bit... sensitive and dangerous when he's upset, but so can we especially you. We're Vikings remember?"

"Well I think it will be just a waste of time trying to trust him," Snotlout said feeding Hookfang, he was still a bit upset that Jack keeps calling him 'Snotface'.

"Come on guys," Hiccup asked checking Toothless' tail worked right "The least we can do is give him a chance right?" he asked getting nods of agreement and 'I guess so's'

"You know what your problem is Hiccup," Snotlout said turning to his cousin "You trust too easily," he said throwing up a fish for Hookfang to catch.

"Wha... I do not," Hiccup said getting up a surprised look on his face.

"Er... yeah you do Hiccup," Fishlegs said getting a slight glare from his friend.

"Name three time I trusted someone too quickly," Hiccup said.

"Me when I said we were going to play Hide-And-Seek in the forest when we were kids," Snotlout said throwing up another fish.

"Us when we said we weren't going to blow anything up while the you left the Arena to go tell your dad about something," Tuffnut said getting a nod from his sister.

Hiccup was about to say that didn't really narrow it down when he stopped himself reminding himself it was the twins who was saying this "Ok so what the last one?" he asked.

"How about the time when we were younger and the Berserker's were visiting and you took Daguar out onto the lake and he tried to drown you..." Fishlegs said "Or the time he let you be a human knife throwing target, or he had somehow tricked you to get stuck on the ledge of a cliff, or..."

"Yes thank you Fishlegs I get the point," Hiccup said sighing trying to think up some counters to all these facts. "Well I can think of one thing I didn't trust anyone with too quickly," he said turning to Toothless then the others again before he and his best friend left leaving the others mixed with confusion and slight guilt at what Hiccup just said.

Back upstairs, Hiccup bumped into Jack who had been listening at the door.

"And you heard all of that didn't you?" he said, Jack nodding.

"Every word," Jack said nodding "The Wind's a good friend for if you want to hear but not be seen," he said before Hiccup could ask 'How?'

"So do you think I trust too easily Jack?" Hiccup asked as they made their way back to the Globe Room.

"Nah," Jack said waving it off "I just think you trust the wrong people, I mean that boy 'Daguar' was it?" he asked getting a nod "He doesn't sound like the kind of person I'd like Jamie, Sophie or any other kid to mess around with, if he'd do stuff like that to the Son of Stoick the Vast."

"You may not know this Jack, but 'Hiccup' means Runt when it comes to Vikings," Hiccup said "And I wasn't putting my trust in him anyway, I was keeping him distracted from destroying the village, while our dads met up and signed the peace treaty that was set up by our grand fathers forty nine years ago."

"Actually I did know that 'Hiccup' meant Runt," Jack said twirling his staff smirking. "I am there three quarters of the year remember?" he asked smirking.

"You're the one who brings all the snow?" Hiccup asked connecting the dots and getting a nod and a smirk. "Well then... Thank you Jack," he said getting Jack to stop and look confused. "Although your ice now trips me up because of this thing," he said playing with his leg showing it off "When I was younger I would enjoy Winter so much and all the snow it brought and how the snow could be shaped into anything you could think of, letting you take away your feelings and worries about what everyone else thinks of you away. So just... Thank you."

"Your welcome," Jack said smiling as they continued to the Globe Room in silence.

When they got there, they found Rapunzel helping Bunny painting eggs for Easter.

Going over, Jack picked one up from each pile and and examined them, Hiccup doing the same amazed that something so small could hold so little and yet be so beautiful all at the same time.

"I might get a boomerang to the head from this Cotton-Tail," Jack said smirking "But I like Punzie's eggs better than yours."

"Er... how can you tell the difference?" Hiccup asked gently placing the eggs he had back down.

"Well if you spend the last 150 years messing with the guy's egg hunt's you get to learn what his eggs look like," Jack said smirking "Also see the base?" he said turning the egg so the bottom was showing "See the EAB in fancy writing so small you can't see it unless you know it's there? That's Bunny's signature mark which he does to all his eggs to show they're his."

"Oh lay off Jack," Bunny said swiping the eggs back "So Rapunzel's better at me at something, no need to shout it to tha heavens."

"I wasn't shouting it to the heavens," Jack said going over to the sofa "I was only speaking my mind."

Mumbling, Bunny packed up his stuff, thanked Rapunzel for the help and then left down one of his tunnels.

"You really liked my eggs more than his Jack?" Rapunzel asked blushing a bit with slight pride.

"Sure I do Punzie," Jack said sitting up "I always like your paintings. I especially liked the one of the Floating Lanterns you did over the fire place."

"So they didn't look like stars?" Rapunzel asked smiling a bit more.

"Not to me," Jack said firmly, "And anyone who says they are has never seen the stars before in their life, because if they did, they would know that things as beautiful as that, can not be stars."

"Thanks Jack," Rapunzel said going over and giving him a hug "For that speech, and for always making the sky clear on my birthday. Thank you."

"You're welcome Punzie," Jack said smiling back.

It was after lunch now, and Jack was up on the roof watching Merida as she tried to do the exercise she asked the Yeti's to make up.

Timed targets would fly up and she had to shoot arrows at them before they went away again. So far she had got everyone each reaching a bulls-eye.

Just as Jack was thinking up ways of messing with her, the cry of one of the reindeer's sounded and three little boy cries were laced over the top of it.

Spinning around Jack saw Blitzen, one of the more fierce reindeer, come running out of the stables and the Triplets clinging on to him as tight as they could but Jack could see that they weren't going to last what with the thing bucking every so often.

Leaping into the air, Jack zoomed over and shot ice at the creatures hooves trying to freeze it to the ground. That worked but only for fifteen seconds, just long enough for Jack to rescue one brother. Jumping back so they didn't get hurt, Jack spotted Merida running over and quickly handed over the boy and went after the reindeer again, this time flying above it and reaching down for the second brother.
Throwing him on his back, Jack raced back to Merida dropped off the second one then went back to get the third.
Harris had his arms wrapped around the reindeer's neck face into the fur trying not to fly off. Only when he felt a familiar cool breeze in his hair did he look up and saw Jack's face, a hand out to him, and slowly reached out for him, only to be stopped half way by the reindeer bucking again.

Jack had to think. What gets Blitzen to listen? "Moi deti, calm down," he called to the reindeer stopped bucking but was still troubled using his nose to point to the thing on his back. "I know, I know Blitz," Jack said landing a bit of the way in front of him hand out "But if you let me get close to you, I will sort that out. I promise Moi deti."

Slowly Blitzen calmed down and pressed his nose to the Frost Child's hand. After a couple of seconds Jack rushed to the reindeer's side and pulled the child off hugging him and checking if he was alright, getting quick nods and some tears of fear from the boy. Keeping the boy in his arms. Jack put his staff under his arm as he began to lead Blitzen back to the stables only making it half way before a few Yeti's took over.

'Just take Blitz back to the stable,' Jack said sounding way older than he looked 'And treat him for a bit, it wasn't his fault the boys just startled him.' he said rubbing Harris' back soothingly, getting nods from the Yeti's.

Once they were gone Merida came over with Hamish and Hubert both boys looking to the ground in shame.

"If you wanted reindeer's to play with you could of asked me you know guy's," Jack said trying to keep the disappointment out of his voice. "I can make almost anything out of snow, and the good thing about my ones is they don't fight back when you jump on them."

"Sorry Jack," the brothers next to Merida said Harris still too scared to say anything, now in Merida's arms.

"Good. But I think there may be a few more people you need to apologize to guys," Jack said pointing to the doors as Elinor, Fergus and North came running out, Phil leading them.

Nodding the brothers, as soon as Harris was set on the ground, rushed over to their parents and North to say sorry for scaring them.

Nodding that everything was ok again, Jack was just about to leave when Merida said "Thank you Jack," smiling to see her brothers safe. "If you hadn't been out here, or as fast as you were... I doubt they would of gotten off as good as they did."

"Your welcome," Jack said smiling back "But I was only doing my job as a Guardian, protecting kids. Though it may of been my fault they got like that." he said.

"What ya mean?" Merida asked.

"I'm a very curious seeking person Mer..." Jack said looking over to the boys "And I taught the boys everything they know to do, and I'm starting to think that Curiosity was included."

"Well my dad says 'The only way to learn not to do anything is to do it and find out why'," Merida says looking over too seeing her dad get hit by her mum obviously having just said that line. "But either way... Thanks."

"You're welcome." Jack said smiling letting her go over to her family before heading for the roof again the itch in his wrists coming back.
