Down in Pitch's Lair, Jokul Frosti was in the room they placed the Things looking at Jack Frost's Center Doll, and going over what both girls had said to him just now in the Globe Room.

"No... I'm not bringing fear to the people of the world..." he said quietly shaking his head, still holding onto his doll "No I'm just doing what Frost would, bringing fun."

"You think... making it so cold, people have to wear ten pairs of socks to stop their toes from feeling it..." a voice behind him said getting him to turn to see Merida"Icing over roads making cars - cars with people inside, go sliding down hills meaning they crash...
Making it snow so hard on the power lines it dislodges the wires meaning it knocks out the power, that's the lights, the warmth, the feeling they their safe...
Making the snowflakes so sharp and the winds so strong they blow them into your face stinging it and meaning you can't open your eyes...
Making the winds to blow so hard they keep blowing in doors and rip roofs off of buildings..." she listed quietly not looking in his eyes, but looking in them now so he can see the tears in them "You call all of THAT Fun?" she asked glaring at him.

"Well then what would you call fun Princess?" Jokul asked a bit ticked off that she was telling him how to do his job.

"I would do it the way Jack Frost does it," she said looking away going over to her Thing sighing as she stroked it. "I would make the snow be kind, and gentle," she began "So that kids instead of hiding from the snow because they were afraid, can go and play in it. I would bring fun, by playing with them, interacting with them, not getting mad when things don't go my way." she said having heard from Emily-Jane earlier what he did to Hiccup thinking it's a good thing Hiccup was alright or else Jokul Frosti would be Dunbroch's newest trophy.

Merida was silent for a bit, letting Jokul to think this over, and by the faces he was making, it looked like she had reawakened Jack's side of him... 'Let's just hope it was enough.' she thought crossing her fingers.

'She's right you know.' Jack's voice called out through the boys head.

'About what Frost?' Jokul replied anger in his voice trying to shut him out again.

'About how none of the stuff you're doing is fun...'

'Well then why don't you come and show me what is?' Jokul asked rhetorically 'Oh that's right because I'm in charge.'

'You're right, you are in charge.' Jack said agreeing 'But at least while I'm in charge, people like us. And kids believe in us for the right reasons.'

'People like me...'

'Who?'

'Pitch, Mordu, Alvin, Gothel...'

'They're your partners, allies... Partners and Allies are not friends. They're just people working together to get what they want.'

'Well then you name some people who like you...'

'The Guardians, the kids, Emily Jane, Hiccup, Merida, Rapunzel, Eugene, the Triplets, the Vikings... Oh and lets not forget the whole of Never Land...'

Merida was watching very closely at the inner argument trying to work out who was winning.

"Jokul Frosti..." she said getting the boy's attention "When you're in charge I see and admit you have more power than when Jack's in charge... But that power is going to your head, and makes you do dumb things."

"Like what?" Jokul asked glaring at her.

"Like making a world wide storm, nearly killing Hiccup, and destroying the balance of nature just as Spring is around the corner." Merida said glaring back.
"You're being selfish, thinking people should pay attention to you, and only you and that they will only do that if they're freezing cold." she continued gripping her bow tighter. "Selfishness, tears apart friendships, families, kingdoms, countries, it makes the person with the power become tyrants who eventually get overthrown and killed.
Please JACK I don't want this to happen to you... You don't belong over on this side, and neither do I, but because of Jokul Frosti here is where we are.
Just... Just something to think about..." Merida said sighing not looking up to the boy before her as she turned and left.

As she was half way out the door, she felt a cold hand on her shoulder, making her stop.

Holding her breath... Merida slowly turned around to see a smiling, pure white haired, crystal blue eyed Jack Frost, who quickly threw his arms around her, shocking her but after a bit she hugged him back.

"Thanks Red..." Jack said quietly pulling away, smiling "I... I'm so..."

"Stop right there," Merida said stopping him and getting an odd look "Don't you dare say 'Sorry' to me, or to anyone about what you've done Jack. Know why?" she asked getting a shake of a head and a confused look "Because none of the stuff that's been happening the last few days were done by you. They were done by Jokul Frosti."

Smiling, Jack nodded in understanding and looked to his Thing.

"What... What exactly has been going on?" Jack asked gripping it not sure he wanted to hear.

"You don't know?" Merida asked surprised.

"When one of us has the controls, the other is asleep," Jack explained slowly "Even though they're still there they only get odds and ends about what the other is doing and what's going on around us. And the higher amount of power they have, the less the other knows about."

"Jokul Frosti set out a world-wide storm, that according to Mother Nature," Merida said rubbing her arm not looking to him "Can't be stopped, not even by you. She says that it needs to run it's natural coarse, or something..."

"Any... Anything else?" Jack asked getting over that piece of information seeing Merida was avoiding him.

"Pinned Snotface to a tree while we went to get Hiccup's thing," she said pointing to the small knife "Because he was laughing at who you were afraid of the water."

"I would of done that anyway," Jack said strangely not feeling bad about that one.

"Um... Nearly made Punzie go the same way you did..." she said playing with her bow "While we were getting her thing..." she said pointing to the mirror shard.

"Wha... What?" he asked scared.

"It's ok though..." Merida said stopping him from panicking "Toothless saw something wasn't right and stopped her from stepping onto the ice."

"I'll need to thank that dragon when I see him then," Jack said smiling, dropping it when he saw her next face.

"You... Or rather Jokul..." Merida corrected herself "Kidnapped... my brothers. Which is why I'm here dressed like this.
When we were all trapped, Pitch wanted one of us to come over so I decided it would be me, to save my brothers and my friends." she explained.

"I... I kidnapped the boys?" Jack asked eyes wide shaking his head trying to deny it, backing up.

"No. Jokul did..." Merida said grabbing his hands to bring him back "You saved them from that reindeer. You protected them from that Yeti who was chasing after them. You are who they see a a big brother Jack... You did not kidnap them," she said throwing her arms around him this time hugging him tight.

"Thanks Mer... So..." Jack asked after a bit "Anything else?" he asked worried.

"You... May... or May not... It could of been just because Jokul was in charge..." Merida said fiddling with the bow - something she did when she was nervous "Of lost Emily-Jane as a girlfriend."

"WHAT!" Jack asked loudly this time saying some not so very nice words in many different languages that Merida swore to herself never to repeat, swinging his staff. "If he wasn't me, I'd kill him..." Jack said after a few minutes quietly sliding down the wall and hugging his knees tightly.

"Um... Jack..." Merida said coming down next to him "If Em's Pitch's daughter... Why..."

"Why do I have her as a Girlfriend?" Jack asked looking to Merida getting a nod. "Because back when we got to be that, I didn't know she was. And when she told me - like after 25 - 30 years of us being together, yeah I was surprised..." Jack said nodding to himself "But as I told her as she began screaming 'Don't leave me' because she took my silence as a bad thing... Just because she's Pitch's daughter, doesn't mean she's Pitch. So I told her that I didn't care about that." Jack explained continuing the story "I told her that, 'I would never, ever leave, or hurt her.'
She was the first one to accept me as a friend after I woke up, she taught me how to use my powers, and though I didn't know him as much as I do now... I knew for a fact that Pitch would never do that.
That's why she's my girlfriend." he finished, smiling, then sighed. "Too bad she doesn't love me anymore." Jack said looking away.

"Well how do you know?" Merida asked quietly getting a 'Huh?' of confusion. "Well until you see her again, how do you know she doesn't love you anymore? Like I said it might of been because Jokul was at the control's."

"We need to get a message to them to say I'm back..." Jack said nodding getting back to the matter at hand, getting up.

"How?" Merida asked following him up and watching him pace for a bit.

Getting an idea, Jack snapped his fingers and a few snowfaries popped up out of thin air and began buzzing around him happy to see him back to normal then quickly flew over to Merida tweeting thanks to her.

"Er... You're welcome," Merida said slowly smiling giggling at the tiny hugs and the feeling of their wings on her face as they showed appreciation.

"Girls..." Jack said quietly but sternly getting them to fall in line and salute. "We need you to go find the other Guardians, or Mother Nature and tell them I'm back to normal."

After one squeaked a question getting the others to nod Jack answered "Because I need to stay here with Merida so none of them get suspicious that something's wrong. Which means the Things need to stay here too." he said thinking getting an idea. Cupping his hands together, Jack made an ice-rose, frost covering the petals "Take this with you to prove I'm back."

Suddenly there was a noise coming from down the corridor and the sound of footsteps were being heard.

"GO!" he whispered harshly before they took the rose and zoomed off.

"Why do you think that rose will convince everyone you're back?" Merida said as they left the room and began to race to one of theirs to carry on the conversation.

"Because only I can make them," Jack said strongly "My side of the coin is the beauty, piece and quiet, fun side. Jokul's is... not so quiet, or so beautiful. When ever he tries to make ice roses they crumble up and collapse as soon as it's done." he explained as they enter his room.

"Ok so... What day is it?" he asked turning to Merida "How long until the 'Eve of Spring'?"

"Bit diffacult to tell... since there's no sunlight down here..." Merida said slowly "But by the way Emily-Jane was talking about the storm and cursing the rabbit... I'd say pretty close. I'd say at least three days. Why?"

"Because we need to get those things to everyone back home on that day for that dumb piece of paper to be right," Jack said trying to plan how it will work.

"Um... Jack?" Merida asked slowly "You know you said you needed to stay here?" she asked getting a nod. "Won't they notice that you're back to being you? You know... blue eyes instead of black, white hair instead of black, nice instead of mean, good instead of not good..."

"Hopefully I can just use these for my eyes," Jack said pulling out the eye drops hoping they work in reverse testing them showing Merida who smiled and nodded saying they worked. "Being around the people who made this all happen... I think will sort out the mean part... I'm not quite sure about my hair, or got any ideas on how to sort it out."

"Well... maybe," Merida said quietly after a bit "But no. It's too risky, and probably wouldn't work anyway."

"What?" Jack asked feeling he knew what it was.

"The Nightmare Dust..." Merida said quietly looking around "Maybe you can use that to make it look black again. But for it be as black as it was you'll need to use a lot, and it's too risky. Wouldn't it give you nightmares or something?"

"It probably would..." Jack said breathing hard. "But that's a risk worth taking isn't it?"

"No." Merida said firmly. "Just forget it, we'll think of something else."

"We might not have time to do that..." Jack said gripping his staff "We might not even be able to think of anything."

"We won't know unless we try," Merida said strongly as she began thinking.

"We also won't know if the Nightmare Dust will work or not, unless we try it," Jack said quietly.
