WE GOT TO 60 REVIEWS! Thanks guys, that means the world to me. And they were all so flattering too! I want to respond to a few...
RoseAllies- Awesome name, by the way. Glad you like my story and here is chapter 17!
Darkness097- Cool idea! Or should I say hot? ;) Yes, I will put him in. I want Elsa and Jack to have a "peaceful" time in Burgess, though, so that bit will be later in the story. Do you have a name and personality for him, or should I make it up?
Darkqueenofwonderland- I'm going to explain the Norwegian in the story. Get ready for some romantic fluff!
Sorry that this was longer. Back to the story!
Jack
Wide, blue eyes scanned Burgess with wonder and awe. Jack grinned as Elsa watched the people in cars go by, shocked by the abilities of today's machines. She went on and on about the differences between what stores in Arendalle sold versus what was sold in Burgess. Jack didn't care, he was just happy to hear her voice. He glanced around and became aware that everyone was watching Elsa strangely, looking at her dress. He looked to and sucked in a breath. Of course! Her clothing still matched what was worn by royalty in Arendalle. He groaned. They would have to get her new clothes. Elsa glanced at him, shaken from her speech by his grumbling. "What's wrong?" Her eyebrows lifted. "If I'm bothering you with my talking I'll stop..."
"No!" he quickly shouted. He felt all eyes switch to him. He cleared his throat and lead Elsa away, feeling their stares on his retreating back. He stopped and looked her straight in the eye. "Your dress. It's not what's worn here." She looked down and gasped. "We need to buy you some more clothes." She nodded fast. "Do you have any money on you?" she inquired. He shook his head sadly. "When the Guardians made me mortal for the day, they neglected to give me money. Shame..." She stiffened visibly, and Jack could see she was a little surprised. "Made you...mortal?! What?!" He sighed. "Sit down." She carefully and gracefully lowered herself into a nearby bench, and he did the same.
"When I told the Guardians during their monthly visit that I was coming here with you, they reminded me that no one here but those who believed in me could see me. It's different in Arendalle." he added before Elsa could ask, then snickered. For once, he was reading her mind. "They have always believed in the Guardians, even to adulthood. Here, you lose the belief when you grow up. Anyway, I knew that it would be incredibly difficult for you to interact with me here if no one else can see me. So they offered me a deal. For today, I can't make ice, I'm not immune to the cold, basically I lose all my powers that I gained as a Guardian for today. In return, everyone can see me. In others words, I'm mortal."
She was silent for a few seconds. He cringed, afraid that he had messed up somehow. That fear only increased when she turned to him with a serious look on her face, the same she always used when dealing with anything related to her duties as queen. "Jack Frost, that is one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me in my entire life." He relaxed a bit. She's not mad at me! Yes! "And I grew up with a sister who knocked on my door every single day, asking me to play with her. Seriously, Jack...that is beyond sweet." She looked close to tears now. He wrapped her up and whispered in her ear "Takk, Elsa. Du er ganske søt også."
Elsa
Elsa smiled at the kind words, then frowned in confusion. "Why do you speak Norwegian now? I know it's our native language, but you don't have to learn it until you're a royal." He lit up at that, waggling his eyebrows as if he was about to tell an inside joke. "I'm gonna be a royal, huh?" She was confused, then slapped his arm playfully. "Jack Frost! Answer my question!" He pretended to cower in fear. "Of course, my lady, please don't kill me." She rolled her eyes, laughing her head off. Jack was such a drama king. King...I like the sound of that... She instantly shook her head, clearing it. Ugh, Elsa, give it a rest. Do you even know if he will want to take the throne beside you? She snapped to attention as Jack started to speak.
"I was talking to your sister the night after the Big Thaw, and she mentioned how your mom would speak in Norwegian to calm you down." She smiled, lost in a memory. "I remember. Whenever my powers got out of control, she would tell me to stop in her native language. I would calm down and be able to stop spreading the ice and snow. I could never melt it, but I could stop." He beamed happily. "Exactly. So I decided that I would learn it too and maybe be able to calm you down when you get upset." Elsa's eyes were watering again. "I mean, I hate seeing you upset, so I thought this might help. Yeah, so... I'll just stop talking now..." The tears started overflowing. He looked at her with a face of embarrassment that quickly changed to horrified. "No, no, no, I didn't mean to make you cry. Vennligst stoppe å gråte, jeg hater å se deg trist. I mean, aw jeez..." He trailed off, looking like he expected to be hit. He was shocked when Elsa threw her arms around him. "Jack, I don't... I don't believe anyone would ever think to do that for me. That means so much, you have no idea..." She was unable to continue because of the sobs racking her body.
When she looked up, her sobs finally gone, she could see his eyes shining as well. "Jeg elsker deg." he whispered. She felt her heart swell at the words, and she knew that he meant them with all of his heart.
"Jeg elsker deg."

I am sorry that there wasn't much action in this one. I wanted a chapter filled with enough fluff to fill a million pillows. ;) And by the way, I thought you guys should have a say in the movie that they watch. So a poll is up on my profile page! Same for the outfit they will pick for her. Please vote, it will make my day. Same goes for reviewing.
Peace out peeps,
