Jamie threw a water balloon as the twins' duck their heads, when he heard a female laughter. He turn to see his very pretty aunt. He never knew the story, but his aunt adopted his mother as her sister, and she has been the protector over the children. Jamie runs over to his aunt as she crouches down to look him in the eyes, "Good afternoon, Aunt Nalo."

Nalo smiles as she grins, "You remember your manners, Mr. Jamie."

Jamie rubs the back of the head, "Yes, ma'am."

Cupcake yells, "Jamie you still playing?"

Jamie yells back, "Be right there. Have a good day, Aunt Nalo."

Nalo nods her head as Jamie runs to jump into the pool as he cannonballs everyone. Nalo smiles as she leans against the porch step. Jamie's mother walks over, "It good to see you sis."

Nalo hugs her adopted sister, "Hey girl how have you been, Martha?"

Martha laughs, "I'm fine, and when are you going to dye your hair?"

Nalo laughs, "Hey, this is natural."

Martha picks up a lock of silver hair as she shows it to Nalo, "Yeah, you being mean to people."

Nalo laughs as Martha drops her silver hair that nearly drags to the ground as she turns to see Jamie splash the girls as the girls' gang up as they shove the water toward Jamie. She has watch the boy grow up as she turn to see her daughter walk up beside her, "Good morning, Mother."

Nalo smiles at Rosella, "Good morning, daughter. How are your lessons?"

Even when the girl is out of high school, she took summer classes just to stay ahead. Rosella looks around as she walks into her aunt's house. Nalo shakes her head, "I cant ever get that child to rest."

Martha laughs, "I know what you mean. Jamie and Sophie are getting so big. Just last winter, Jamie claim that he was talking to Jack Frost. I thought it was the funniest thing."

Nalo looks intrigue, "Really? You didn't tell him that there is no such thing, did you?"

Martha shook her head, "I didn't tell him that. I just told him to get to bed. It was late, afterall."

Nalo smiles, "Let him believe, until he doesn't want to believe anymore."

Martha smiles, "I know sis, but he is starting to become a pre – teen soon. I don't know what to do."

Nalo looks back at the laughing, remembering another laughing boy with dark brown hair and brown eyes that had golden flakes in them, "Love him is all that you can do. Show him the way, and let him make his choices."

Martha shakes her head, sometimes the wisdom that her sister gave her made her sound older than she was. Martha was always amaze ever since she was a child, her older sister never grew older or had any wrinkles. It was like she was frozen in time that she would never grow old or show her age. Martha looks at Sophie as she hops around, "Bunny! Bun – Bun."

Nalo looks at Martha, "Bunny?"

Martha laughs, "Jamie was talking about the Easter Bunny, so now Sophie talks about the Easter Bunny nearly all the time."

Martha went inside to get some lemonade as Nalo follows. Jamie watches his aunt and mom as he yells, "All clear!"

A blue hooded boy with snow white hair with brown pants holding onto a crooked staff smiles, "Finally! They are the most talkative women I have ever seen."

Jamie laughs as Jack Frost, the legendary figure and new Guardian of a year sits on top of his staff. Jamie smiles, "Yeah, when my aunt hasn't visit for a while, nearly all they do is talk."

"Shelias like that. They stick together." Jack frowns as he turns to see Aster E. Bunnymund, also known as the Guardian of Hope, but better known to the world as the Easter Bunny. Jack smiles, "Hey Easter Kangraroo."

Bunny frowns as he stands up tall, "I'm a bunny."

Jack was about to talk, when they heard glass breaking, as Nalo had step out of the porch only to collapse carrying a tray of lemonade. Rosella runs out, crying out to her mother. Martha rushes to her sister's side as Nalo is weakly breathing. Bunny and Jack watches as the older female is barely opening her eyes. She shakily stands up as she holds her head, Rosella helps her up, "Mom, are you alright?"

Nalo nods as she looks at Jack, Jack freezes himself as he looks at the woman, and "Can she see spirits?"

Nalo starts to walk over to Jack as Martha watches from the porch along with Rosella. Martha holds her breath as Rosella watches carefully. Nalo stops in front of Jack's staff, "It has been too long, Jackson Overland."

Jack's breath caught as he has not heard that name in over three hundred years, he weakly speaks, "How did you know that name?"

She doesn't speak her answer, "Emma was always going to the lake to see you, and she would talk to you, even when you were not there, but you were with her in spirit."

Jack remembers after becoming Jack Frost that he would visit the lake every winter and see a little girl grow into a woman visit the lake every winter, he nervously whispers, "Who are you?"

The blue eyes look up into the blue eyes as she smiles, "It's good to see you, little Jackie."

Jack's eyes grew wide as he nearly fell from his perch, "No one call me that, expect my Aunt Selena. How do you know that?"

Nalo turns to walk away as she looks over her head, "Jackie, things always come at a price. We must always find a way to protect those that we love, even at the cost of our own lives."

Jack is nearly shaking as the ice grew around the bottom of his staff. Bunny walks over to Jack, "It's alright, mate. Do you want to talk to North?"

He shakes his head, while watching the woman as she walks over to Martha. Martha helps her into the house as she nearly collapses again. Jack looks over to Bunny, "Is it alright if we go back to the Warren?"
