Now, even though Bunny was the sole spirit of Easter, he was also a less known spirit of Spring and knew himself the Mother Nature would not place a snowstorm over anywhere this close to the changing of the seasons.
But he thought he'd better just check.
Coming out in the middle of her grotto, Bunny went in search her.
"Em!" Bunny called after not getting anywhere in searching after ten minutes.
"Bunny?" a woman called back as a women with long black hair, wearing a green flower covered dress came out of the woods, next to the tree. "Why are you here? Not that I don't enjoy you being here but why?"
"First... Did you give Jack Frost an order to create a snowstorm over the city of London last night as a last minute thing?" Bunny asked coming over so they didn't have to yell as much.
"No..." Mother Nature said dragging it on confused. "My last orders to Jack were last week when he created the snowstorm in Russia." she explained "Why?"
"It's just we're having a bit of a problem with Pitch and some other villains..." Bunny said as he began to explain the whole situation.
***ROTBTD***
"And this morning, after he got up later then normal he said that was why." he continued "After the kids left Merida's brothers said that the boy wasn't Jack, but no one got anymore out of them."
Looking nervous Mother Nature looked away from Bunny gripping her arm a bit.
"Em..." Bunny said noticing this "Is everything ok?"
"What color was his hair?" she asked.
"Huh?"
"Jack? What color was his hair?" she repeated "Was it pure snow white? Or was it a bit greyer than normal?"
Thinking back Bunny did notice a slight difference in Jack's hair.
"A bit greyer than normal," he said "Why?"
"Because if his eyes and teeth are off too..." she said getting up from her seat. "The boy's were right, and you need to get the teens away from him."

Berk
On Berk, in the cove in the middle of the woods, everyone aside from Hiccup, Toothless, and Astrid were staring in awe at the place.
"I didn't even know Berk had this," Fishlegs commented sliding off Meatlug. "How did you find it Hiccup?"
"Oh you can find lots of things when you're alone and have as much free time in the woods as I used to have." Hiccup said trying to be sarcastic but making it come out as if he was blaming the teens for it.
"So where's that knife of yours then Hic?" Eugene asked recovering from the beauty this place had.
"Somewhere at the bottom of that lake..." Hiccup said thumbing over his shoulder while he was playing with Toothless.
"Well it's gone then," Jokul said shrugging.
"It's not gone," Merida said coming over to the bank looking down. "We just need someone to swim down and get it."
"Well count me out of the list then," Jokul said a bit roughly as if it was an order.
"Why?" Rapunzel asked confused. "Couldn't you just freeze it or something?"
"Yeah," Jack said "But I had a let's say unhappy experience with big bodies of water like this when I became Jack Frost. Remember?" he said trying to ignore Snotface laughing at how he was acting. "And so I'll be skipping out on this."
"Aw... Look," Snotface's voice came up over to him as Jokul was walking away. "Frost Boy's afraid of a little water..." he said smirking getting Jokul to stop.
"Er... Snotlout I don't think whatever you're doing is a good idea," Fishlegs said backing away a bit with the others.
"No... No it's alright Fishlegs," Jokul said calmly, as he began to see red and gripping the staff tighter, spinning around. "Please... Snotlout carry on."
"Gladly," Snotlout said "First up, aren't you like a spirit of snow and ice or something? Isn't that water? What are you scared of you're own work?" he asked mimicking what he thought a scared Jack Frost would be like, while he was creating snow and ice.
But didn't get very far as within five seconds of him beginning to mock him, Jokul had slashed his staff the ought the air and pinned the jerkward to one of the trees, an extra icicle ever so slowly extending just stopping short of the boys neck.
"Now listen here Snotface..." Jokul said getting right into Snotlout's face, blocking everyone else. "You can make fun of me how ever you like... You can go the way Bunny did when I joined the Guardians and say I don't have any Believers," he began storm clouds starting to appear over head and the wind getting colder and fiercer. "You can say that no one likes my season because it's too cold and everyone always gets sick. Why... You could even make fun of me having white hair and how I use a staff..." he said building up tension. "But the one thing... You DO NOT make fun of me for is the fact that I'm afraid of water GOT IT!" he asked fiercely getting whimpers and quick nods from the boy.
Stepping back, Jokul snapped his fingers and the icicles fell away. Then saying he need a few minutes, he took off and left the cove ankle deep full of snow and everyone stunned at what happened.

"Well... That was... odd," Hiccup said coming around first while Astrid once again punched Snoutlout in the stomach.
"Er... does anybody want to talk about what in the name of Thor just happened?" Fishlegs asked.
"Er... Snotface getting what he deserved," Merida said glaring at the boy in the snow who was clutching his stomach, having no pity for him.
"Er... not really it seem like there was way more to it than that," Fishlegs continued.
"He right," Rapunzel said coming over now too playing with her frying pan for if Snotlout got his second wind. "Jack... He just doesn't seem right today. And remember back at my tower how Toothless tried to attack him. I wonder why?"
"We'll worry about that, and why Jack was like that later," Hiccup said slowly making it over to the pond so not to slip. "For now... Thanks to Snotlout we now need to work out how to get my knife from the bottom of a now FROZEN lake."

As the teens were doing that, Jokul Frosti was up on the highest mountain Berk had to offer and slashing his staff and destroying everything in sight.
After five minutes he came to a halt panting snowflakes all over the place falling down.
But these weren't Jack Frost snowflakes. These were Jokul Frosti ones. Rather than being the soft and fluffy and beautiful patterned ones that you'd like to catch on your tongue... These were made of ice, had razor edges, stung your face if the wind blew them into it, and caused frostbite and hypothermia.
"Feel better Joukl?" a voice asked behind him making him turn to see Pitch.
"A bit," Jokul Frosti said still panting "I'd be even more better if I can freeze that yellow-bellied-dirt-face-brat to an ice sculptor to let Solveig(*) melt," Jokul cursed and spat to the ground.
"You'll get your chance Jokul don't worry," Pitch said coming over and looking down to the village with the boy. "Good try trying to get Rapunzel the way you went. If only that meddlesome dragon wasn't so protective I'm sure you would of made it."
"How much longer do I have to play this goodie-two-no-shoes boy anyway?" Jokul asked growling a bit.
"Until the brats have all the objects, or you get found out," Pitch said as he began to walk away "Then you can return to us. Just remember... Don't loose your temper like that again, some of my Nightmares came back saying they're beginning to get suspicious."
"Yes mom..." Jokul said sarcastically, rolling his eyes as Pitch left.
