Over in the Autumn Forest, Jamie was on the window seat, looking out the window towards Winter Woods.
The others had been there for about two hours, but aside from some quick hellos and 'I'm glad you're alright's' he hadn't moved.
Everyone was downstairs playing games and laughing, as a way to keep themselves entertained until the others came back. But Jamie didn't feel like playing.
Just then the door opened, but he ignored it, he also ignored the squeaks of the floor boards and the sound of someone breathing standing behind him.
What couldn't be ignored though was all the snow that was suddenly gently coming down.
"JACK!" he cried and span around and flung himself at the teenager.
"Good to see you too kid..." Jack said trying to hide the pain the hug was giving him, even though he fixed his staff, the pain was still there. "Now if... I could just... Breath..."
"Oh sorry..." Jamie said letting go and blushing a bit "I'm just really happy that you're alright."
"Oh so we don't count then boy?" Merida's voice asked from the door where the other teens were.
"Hey guys," Jamie said smiling. "So is Pitch defeated?" he asked looking around and to Jack. "Is the storm over? Can we go home?"
"Whoa, whoa, slow down," Jack said getting up crouching. "One at a time, yes Pitch is defeated. The storm isn't over yet but it's nearly done. And because of that you and the rest can go home tomorrow. And so can all of you," he says looking to Merida, Hiccup, Rapunzel, Eugene and the Viking Teens.
"Do we have to?" Ruffnut and Tuffnut say together whining a bit.
"It's either that or get roped into working for one of us," Jack says.
"Er... You know what I think I'd like to go home actually," Tuff says getting a nod from his sister.
"So what are we going to do between now and then?" Rapunzel asked.
"Normally I'd say 'Have Fun'..." Jack says yawning. "But after what happened, I could do with a nap, so you'll have to do it with out me." he says getting up and walking over to the bed.
Nodding in agreement everyone left, telling Jamie they say what happened downstairs.
Once the door was closed Jack opened his eyes and pulled out Rapunzel's Thing. It wasn't used, so does that mean the fight is still on? or that it wasn't needed?

Downstairs everyone was back to playing games, the Burgess kids trying to teach the teen how to play Twister.
"Left hand, Red," Tooth says who was operating the spinner.
Everyone tried to reach for a red spot and collapsed laughing.
"Ok let's go again," Tooth says flicking the spinner Left foot blue..."
Over by the refreshments table the grown ups were setting up treaties with each other.
By the fireplace, North was looking into the flames thinking.
"Something wrong mate?" Bunny asked coming over with a couple of mugs of beer.
"During the fight," North said "How many Things did Jack use?" he asked.
"Three, why?" Bunny asked.
"Because the prophecy says that they all need to come together, which means all four right?" North asks.
"So you think the fight's still on?" Bunny asks in a whisper.
"I do not know..." North says looking back into the fire.
"So what's with all the whispering over here?" Fallen asks coming over with Amber, Buddy and Emily Jane.
"We're discussing if the fight's over of not," Bunny says.
"Well the teens did everything that that piece of paper said needed to happen didn't it?" Faleen asks munching on some celebration cake.
"Yes, but the object set for Rapunzel wasn't used, that's the point," Jack's voice says coming over. "But the prophecy didn't say they needed to be used, it said they needed to 'Come together,' and they did."
"What do you mean Jack?" Bunny asks confused.
"As us four collected them, we brought them together, and in doing so, they brought us together too," he said looking to the room full of friends and laughter.
"Us four 'Who were once truly alone' now have all these friends so we won't have to feel alone ever again." he says smirking then running off to join in in the next round of Twister.
"Did he just sound a bit more grown up to you North?" Bunny asked playing with his ears.
"Just like Manny if you ask me," North says "You don't think that Mirror can do this 'Video Chatting' the children are going on about these days do you?" he asked.
The other Seasons and Emily Jane smirked, they don't need to see Manny to listen to him, and they did indeed just hear all of the conversation he and Jack just had.

Over by the Twister, Jack, Rapunzel, Merida and Hiccup were all set to play.
"Now remember Jack, no ice," Tooth says.
"On my word as a Season and a Guardian Tooth," Jack says crossing his heart.
"Ok first up, right hand yellow," Tooth said.
Everyone reached and got there.
"Right foot red."
Everyone got there.
"Left hand blue."
Everyone got there.
"Left foot green."
There was a pause on this as everyone looked to Hiccup, wondering what he'll do.
After a bit Hiccup just shook his head and reached for a green spot with his prosthetic and touched it, the others soon doing the same.
They carried on playing until they collapsed in a laughing pile of friends.
(*)(*)(*)
The next morning, Jack sent out some snowfairy's to see if the storm had stopped and they came back saying that it has.
Nodding, Jack went out with Faleen to melt/get rid of the unnecessary snow and came back both tired and both worn out.
"If you ever... make this happen again Jack..." Faleen said panting slightly "You will not live, to see it be melted."
"Understood," Jack says saluting his Season Sister and waved her off as she went to Summer Hill to get some rest.
"Right you lot can go home now," Jack says turning to the kids.
With hugs going all around to everyone, the kids collected their trophies they got from Jack and went with a Guardian each back home, each one with a bag of 'Wake-Me Dust' to wake up their parents.
Once they were gone and the Guardians were back, they turned to their new friends.
"So, this is Goodbye?" Jack asks speaking for his side.
"I'd like to think of it as 'Until next time...' " Rapunzel said standing next to Eugene who nodded.
"We'll see each other again Jack," Merida said nodding her brothers hugging the stuffing out of Jack in their ways of saying goodbye.
"Yeah besides it's not like we'll forget you after all this," Hiccup added.
"Yeah... Oh I've got something for each of you," Jack said pulling out the Mirror Shard and carefully broke it into four, giving a piece each to the other three and keeping one himself. "Found out last night you can have conversations through these so... You know..." he said grinning slightly.
With one more hug, everyone went back to their families, said one more goodbye, and went through North's portals and went back home.
All looking for much more exciting and entertaining lives then the ones they had before all of this...
