Jack
Jack woke up feeling refreshed...and kind of cold. Looking around, he surveyed the icy walls around him, until yesterday came back to him like a speeding bullet, except, he welcomed it. Elsa...wow. But I am SO getting her back for the "babysitter" comment. With this happy thought in his mind, he lept from the bed and raced out the bedroom door, anticipating the chance to see his Ice Queen again.
When he came to the room with the fountain, he gasped at the drastic change. A table with all kinds of breakfast food, from five star breakfast casserole to Lucky Charms, was in the middle of the room. The fountain had been moved to make room. And best of all, Elsa was seated at the table, eating scrambled eggs and French toast. She glanced up, and her face went from serious to joyous, with a touch of...worry?
"Do you like it?" she asked anxiously. He looked along the table, speechless. Finally, he nodded, and her face lost the trace of worry and she dug in to her meal. He sat beside her and loaded up on his favorite cereal, Floated Flakes, and some honeydew melon.
"How did you sleep?" she asked, a twinkle of mischief in her eye. He looked at her, searching for what it ment, then shrugged. "Soundly," he said nonchalantly. For some reason, this caused her to launch into a fit of laughter that sounded throughout the castle. He smiled shakily. "Uh...what's so funny?" She continued to giggle until she calmed down a bit, then sputtered out, "You...you snore like a pig!' then lapsed into another uncontrollable wave of giggles, which intensified when she saw his face. He groaned and put his head on the table, muttering, " I'm sorry, ma'am. Didn't mean to keep you up."
She smiled gently, the laughter subsided. "You didn't keep me up. I slept fine." He raised his eyebrows. "Really," she insisted. "I slept like a rock." He grinned, happy that he had not kept her up. He'd hate to cause her unhappiness.
Elsa
She smiled. He was grinning like a madman, happy as ever. Then his face became one of exasperation and joking. "By the way, babysitter?!" She chuckled, glad to have a change in topic. "Well...I thought it was clever..." she muttered. He laughed, long and hard. She was glad to give him a cause to laugh. "By the way," she inquired, "where are you from?" She rested her head on her chin and leaned forward, eager to hear this story. Although the question seemed to fluster him, he took a deep breath and started to speak.
"I come from another world, quite a bit different from here. I guess that you can tell by the way I look, and my clothes. There, I am known as Jack Frost, but you can call me Jack. I was one of the Guardians, the protectors of children. The others are Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, and my least favorite, the Easter Bunny. We are in charge of making sure that the children believe in us, and keep believing throughout their childhood. But...that's been difficult lately. We have an enemy, out to destroy the hopes and dreams of the kids. He is the bogeyman, and his name is Pitch. Pitch Black. He has an army of nightmares - which, ironically, are horses - and by releasing them into children's dreams, he can stop them from believing in us, in anything good. The sandman - Sandy - usually can help us with that, but he...Pitch...shot an arrow...and..." Jack stopped, lowering his head. Elsa was shocked to see tears in his eyes. She debated over what to do, then kindly said, "He sounds like a great person." Jack looked up, small but undeniable tears running on his cheeks. "Was." he murmured. "Was a good person."
They sat in silence, Elsa giving him time to get a hold on his emotions. When he finally spoke, his voice was small but clear.
"Anyway, now we can't stop him. We try, but we can't. Weeks ago, he broke into the Tooth Fairy's palace and stole her assistants - she calls them 'baby teeth.'" She smiled at that. "And he stole ALL the teeth. Those contain the memories of the children. And with her assistants gone, none of the children of the world got their teeth collected. So we lost some believers. The next night, we collected the teeth." She laughed, imagining them jumping across the housetops. "Yeah, it was fun. But the teeth stolen - that was huge. Not just for the kids...I had my memories from my life before I became Jack Frost in there, memories that I can't remember on my own for some odd reason. I planned to get them, but they were taken before I could get them. I...I went after Pitch myself. Planned to get them back. While I was there, all the Easter Bunny's eggs were smashed. I got the memories, but Easter was ruined. The other Guardians didn't think much of that. Bunny said I wasn't worthy to be a Guardian. Because of one mistake!" Elsa nodded. "I know the feeling..." she softly said. Jack looked at her with curiosity, but continued.
"I flew North, to dwell on what I did, when...he appeared. Pitch." Her eyes widened. "He offered to work with me, go against the Guardians so I that they would only believe in the two of us. I said no, of course. And we fought. Long time. I got a hit in, and he faked being knocked unconscious. When I let my guard down and cele...I mean, turned away to go, he hit me from behind. I blacked out and landed here. And that is about it, you know the rest."
He looked at her. "And you, my lady?"
Haha, cliff hanger! Don't worry, I'll post tomorrow if I can. If not, Monday. Thanks for reading!
