Me: Once again, sorry for the late update! Since this is my first JELSA story, I understand that it's not building up that fast but I'll get there! But now, this is where the action begins! I made sure it was short so people actually have time to sit and read. My other chapters are usually 4,000 words and above but I'm going to do my best to do concise and precise when I make this story. I don't own Frozen or ROTG; I only own the plotline of this fanfiction!

Chapter 3

Jack gawked in surprise, clamping his hand over his mouth. S-She can hear me?

Anna blinked several times. "What are you talking about, Anna? It's me, Anna!"

Elsa shook her head and began looking around. "I know you're Anna, silly! But there's someone else here…"

Jack swallowed hard; he thought that as long as no one believed – they can't hear him or see him! He exhaled sharply and looked around before jumping to one of the columns to hide. However, Jack didn't notice that his staff and his feet began freezing the columns.

"Anna," Elsa pointed out to the columns.

Anna's eyes widened as the saw freezing over with snowflake patterns appearing everywhere. "W-Wow, did you do that?"

Elsa shook her head, deciding to gently nudge Anna out of the room. "N-No. Anna, why don't you go to mummy and daddy first? I think they're looking for you."

Anna stared, bewildered for a moment, and then grinned before skipping away. "Okay! I'll be right back, Elsa!"

As the younger princess ran out the door, Elsa quietly closed the door behind her. She began looking around and exhaled sharply while continuing to walk along.

"Hello," Elsa shivered slightly out of fear. "I know you're here."

Jack gulped and looked at the pale blonde haired princess walking around. Think, think – what to do?

Jack, you are a guardian. Aren't kids supposed to believe in you first?

"That's what I thought too," Jack bit his lower lip before clamping his mouth shut. "Uh-oh!"

Elsa turned around before shooting out some ice. "Gotcha!"

Seeing that he had been discovered, Jack floated out from behind the wall with his hands up. "Whoa, whoa, don't shoot! Have mercy!"

Elsa looked at him carefully as she saw him floating around. "Who… Are you?"

Jack landed on the ground, bowing. "Hi, my name's Jack Frost, milady. You are?"

Elsa straightened up before curtsying. "Princess Elsa of Arendelle. Where do you come from, Jack Frost?"

"Wow, for an eight year old – you sure are mature," Jack knelt down to her height. "I'm from… The North Pole?"

Elsa raised her eyebrow. "That doesn't exist here!"

"Well it does," Jack grinned and he saw the ice and snow around the ballroom. "How long have you been able to use ice and snow?"

Elsa glanced around with a shrug. "I don't know. I guess for as long as I remember. I've been using it ever since I was five years old…"

"Huh," Jack touched the snow in his hand, letting it melt in his palm before smiling. "You know what? Let's play!"

Elsa blinked several times as Jack blew blue snow dust onto the snowball. "Come on, it'll be fun!"

As the snowball plopped on Elsa, the blue dust went into her eyes as she suddenly started to giggle in delight. Jack laughed along with her as he began floating around and throwing snowballs as well. She threw snowballs at him as both of them began tumbling on the ground, lying in the wet, cold snow. Elsa sat up and smiled at the white haired boy.

"How come you can fly and I can't," Elsa pouted.

Jack blinked several times, lying smoothly. "Uh well – because I've mastered my powers to their fullest ability!"

I can't tell her I'm a ghost now can I?

Way to go, you twit. Now you overloaded her brain with deep vocabulary.

Hey, she's a princess! Aren't they supposed to have the best tutors or something!?

Elsa folded her arms with a childish purse of her lips. "B-but I wanna learn how to fly too!"

Jack chuckled and ruffled her hair. "You'll get there. You're still young! Your powers grow with you. It's a huge part of you, Elsa."

Elsa nodded and giggled until she heard knocking on the door.

"Elsa, are you still in there? Can we still build the snowman?"

Elsa swallowed hard before looking at Jack Frost, shooing him away. "Oh, oh, you better go! My sister might get scared when she sees the whole room freezing out of nowhere!"

Jack shrugged nonchalantly with a grin. "Nonsense, I'm good with kids!"

Suddenly, the doors burst open and Anna ran in.

"Elsa, Elsa, mommy and daddy," Anna skipped up and down before suddenly stopping, gawking in surprise. "Wh-who is that?"

Jack blinked several times, pointing to himself. "Sh-she can see me? Wh-what is this? See Jack Frost Day?"

Elsa smiled as she introduced him to her sister. "Anna, this is Jack Frost. Jack Frost, this is my sister – Anna."

Jack extended his hand to the younger sister. "You can just call me Jack. You must be her younger sister."

Anna stared and gaped in amazement before suddenly snapping out of it, grinning. "HI, I'M PRINCESS ANNA! NICE TO MEET YOU!"

Taken aback by the loud outburst, Jack staggered back while laughing sheepishly. "Nice to meet you too, princess. I hear you girls like playing with ice and snow?"

Anna jumped up and down. "Yeah yeah, we definitely do!"

Elsa tugged his sleeve. "Jack, can you please teach me some of your tricks?"

Seeing her stare at him with her big blue eyes, Jack sighed in defeat. He never had the ability to resist kids.

"Sure, why not," he chuckled while tracing his shepherd's staff on the ground, creating snowflake patterns on the ground. "But let's have a little fun first, shall we?"

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

The two princesses played their day away with Anna giggling and laughing in delight. Jack chuckled as he floated around and froze the floor, letting Elsa and Anna skate around. The guardian of fun laughed in amusement as Anna and Elsa laughed and giggled. He never had this much relaxation ever since he had been a guardian.

"This is amazing," Anna giggled while Elsa began helping her skate around.

"Weeee," Elsa laughed happily while skating around.

Jack began laughing around as well while flying around to supervise, until he heard a knock on the ballroom door.

"Elsa, Anna, dinner!"

The two girls glanced at each other with sad faces as Jack shook his head.

"Go on you guys. I won't go anywhere," Jack gently nudged them out. "You guys need to eat."

"Awww, but I still wanna play," Anna pouted impishly with a fold of her arms.

"Don't worry, don't worry – I'll still be here," Jack reassured them with a small smile. "I'll be right here."

Elsa looked closely at him. "You promise?"

"Scout's honour," Jack placed his hand on his chest.

Elsa and Anna smiled before running out the door while Jack was left in the ballroom. As the door closed behind them, the guardian of fun exhaled sharply while looking at the ground and taking note of the ice. He scooped up some in his hand. He fingered it gently while noticing some consistency in it.

"I know this feeling," Jack narrowed his eyes, not noticing the darkness looming behind him. "This is…!"

Hello Jack!

Jack turned around and instinctively raised his staff, blocking Pitch's dark scythe. His eyes narrowed darkly while he leapt over Pitch, sweeping him off his feet. Pitch fell back with a low hiss before throwing his scythe at him once again. The scythe knocked Jack in the stomach as Pitch charged at him with his scythe pinning down the guardian of fun. Struggling to push him off, Jack kicked him off while gaining back his balance and throwing ice bolts at him. Pitch ducked and swung his scythe for Jack's neck. The guardian of fun rolled right beneath the scythe before kicking the Boogeyman's jaw.

"Agh," Pitch spat venomously, glaring at Jack with spite. "So you're here? Haven't had enough believers, Jack?"

Jack pointed his staff at Pitch. "What are you doing here?"

Pitch smiled slowly with a shrug. "Oh, I'm just taking a vacation. Away from the guardians, away from being… me."

Jack raised an eyebrow sceptically.

"Oh please, Jack. Just because I'm the guardian of Fear," Pitch rolled his eyes sarcastically. "Doesn't mean I don't know how to have fun."

"Your version of fun is scaring the daylights out of everyone else," Jack said flatly and pointed his staff at Pitch. "I find it hard to believe…"

Pitch chuckled while pushing down Jack's staff with a finger. "Oh don't worry. Didn't North say you needed a vacation? I too am on vacation from wreaking havoc in your world."

Jack didn't know whether or not to believe him. But he hadn't seen anything happen so far. The kids seemed to be their usual happy selves and everyone was running around normally. The two princesses were giggling with delight and they were having fun. As long as the kids had fun and Pitch stayed quiet, he had no problem with Pitch just roaming around.

"Fine," Jack backed away slowly. "As long as you leave everyone out of your games."

Pitch shrugged with a smile. "No problem, Jack. No problem…"

With that, the Boogeyman then shrank back into the shadows and left Jack standing amongst the snow. The guardian of fun exhaled sharply when the doors opened and revealed Anna and Elsa running towards him.

"Jack, we're doooooone," Anna sang in delight.

Elsa laughed. "You should have seen her; she was stuffing her face!"

Jack laughed along with the two princesses. "Alright, so what's next on the list?"

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

The night passed quickly as Anna passed out on Elsa. The older sister stumbled around as Jack helped her along. He would have carried her himself but then again, he didn't think that the household help or the parents were open to the idea of ghosts. He laughed slightly while pushing the door open for Elsa as the elder sister plopped her younger sister onto her bed.

"Wow, Anna should really stop eating all those chocolates," Elsa gasped heavily before slumping onto the floor. "She's so heavy!"

Jack chuckled and sat beside her. "Aren't you going to bed yet?"

Elsa bit her lower lip nervously, hugging her legs together. "… I'm scared."

Jack blinked several times to look at the blonde princess. "Why?"

Elsa swallowed hard, breaking down into a quiet sob. "Every time I sleep, I see bad things happen because of my powers. I… I… froze Anna in my dreams. Everyone who was near me became frozen and I couldn't stop it… Then people were howling and getting angry, calling me a "monster"."

Jack remained quiet and slung his arm around her. "Hey, everything's going to be okay."

Elsa sniffed while looking at the guardian of fun. "R-Really?"

"Yeah," Jack smiled and offered his hand. "Come on, I'm gonna show you a few tricks."

Elsa's expression slowly beamed. "Really?"

"Yeah," Jack chuckled before placing a finger on his lips. "We're just gonna have to be really quiet, okay?"

Elsa nodded slowly as Jack led out of the room quietly. Now, the eldest princess had never known to sneak out without Anna's prompting. But she felt the warmth in the guardian of fun's hand. Elsa quietly tip toed in the hallways as she and Jack made their way into the ballroom. Jack opened the curtains to let the moonlight in as he smiled.

"Alright," Jack gestured to himself. "Watch me first."

Elsa nodded as Jack made snow pop out of his palm and let it float into the air. "Wow…"

"You try," Jack beckoned her to try. "Just imagine it in your hands. Make anything you want."

Elsa beamed brightly. "A-anything?"

Jack nodded with a smile. "Yeah, anything."

The pale blonde eight year old swirled the ice energy in her hands. She swirled it around before letting a small amount float into the air. Jack chuckled as he started juggling snowflakes in his hands. Elsa soon started copying him and started dancing around while giggling. Jack laughed along as he twirled his staff around and let snowflakes form before he combined everything to form one huge snowflake.

"Wow," Elsa gaped in amazement before trying the same thing. "Here I… ah!"

The snowflake suddenly burst into many ice shards as Jack quickly grabbed her out of the way. The ice shards pelted the floor as Jack and Elsa tumbled out of the way. Gasping heavily, Elsa looked at Jack as he held her tightly. She swallowed hard in fear before shaking her head.

"See? I-I can't control it," Elsa sadly looked down. "It's too strong. It's a curse."

Jack stared at her and shook his head, taking both her hands into his own. "No, no – a wise man once told me. What one believes is a curse can actually be a gift."

Elsa's eyes became glassy and her lips began to quiver. "B-but… you saw what happened…"

"Oh that's nothing," Jack chuckled before gesturing to himself, smiling in reassurance. "I can't get hurt. Don't worry about it!"

Elsa nodded as she could feel Jack gently cup her hands with his own when a snowflake floated between them. "Jack…?"

The guardian of fun smiled kindly. "Hm?"

Elsa sniffed. "P-promise me you'll never leave…"

Jack smiled while playing with a pale blonde hair, pointing gently at her chest. "I will never leave as long as you believe that I won't."

Elsa nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Jack."

"The pleasure's all mine, little princess," Jack bowed to kiss her forehead.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

After putting her to bed, Jack exhaled sharply while going back to the ballroom. He quickly scooped up some of the ice and snow, placing it in a makeshift ice jar he made. Exhaling sharply, the guardian of fun pulled out one of the snow globes and shook it. After a bit of shaking, North suddenly appeared before him in a beam of light.

"Oh, Jack! How are you there," North smiled as he painted another toy. "Having fun?"

Jack nodded with a smile. "Yeah but there's something I want you guys to check out for me."

Tooth Fairy suddenly appeared in the view. "Jack, how have you been?"

"Great, but listen," Jack pulled out a jar. "I need you guys to get this looked in for me. And North, do you have any records about Princess Elsa of Arendelle?"

Tooth Fairy blinked. "Elsa of Arendelle?"

North stroked his beard. "Let me see what I can do, Jack. But what's going on?"

"I saw Pitch a few moments ago," Jack winced at the pain in his shoulder. "Pretty much had a rude greeting from him."

Bunnymund scrunched up his nose. "What does that dolt want now?"

"So far, he hasn't done anything," Jack bit his lower lip. "But, I'm getting a weird feeling that he might…"

North nodded stiffly. "Yes but why don't you stay a bit longer, Jack? Find out what Pitch could possibly be up to."

"Yeah, I was expecting you to say that," Jack nodded before looking at the doors. "Besides, I can't leave Elsa alone."

Tooth raised an eyebrow. "Elsa?"

"She's the gifted princess of Arendelle," Jack lied quickly. Better they don't know first until I know where and how she got her powers.

Bunnymund rolled his eyes. "You know these fairy tale stories. She probably had some fairy whack her with her shiny stick. And poof, out came gifted Princess Elsa!"

Jack chuckled and shook his head. "I don't see any fairy around here. And don't say it, I didn't whack her with the staff either."

"You mean she was born with it," Tooth blinked several times.

Sandy made sand gestures on top of his head. What can she do?

"I'm still trying to figure it out," Jack said smoothly but the words felt they were being torn from his throat. "I'll give you guys a ring when I figure out exactly what she can do."

Soon, the snow globe shut down as the guardian of fun exhaled sharply. He felt bad for lying to the guardians like that but he had no other choice. Somehow, he could feel that Pitch had more than just vacation as a reason to stay in Arendelle. Jack glanced at the snow on the ground as he waved his shepherd staff around, swirling all the snow into the air and making it vanish.

"Well, looks like I'm not on vacation after all…"
