It was two years after North took Jack for the ride in his sleigh, allowing him to help deliver presents, when the North Wind urgently came swirling around Jack telling him that the Spirit of Summer was melting all the work Jack did to make sure no other child in Burgess drowned making the Spirit of Winter mad. "Take me home." He growled and North Wind willingly complied and Jack was soon flying over the forest surrounding his pond.

As North Wind carried him closer the sound of cracking ice followed by a short scream reached Jack's ears causing him to panic, having recognized the voice to belong to a child and pushed North Wind to fly faster, which it did. The minute his pond was in sight Jack jumped off the wind and dove right into the water, hoping he had reached the child in time.

He was half way to the bottom of his pond before he spotted familiar brown hair which made him swim toward the small body even faster and was soon able to wrap his arms around her and pull her now limb body to the surface. As his head came out of the water he saw the Spirit of Summer nervously pacing along the water's edge.

Jack angrily glared at her as he lifted his sister's body up and flew with her over to where the Summer Spirit was, setting her body down. "You're lucky my mother taught me to never hit a woman Summer or you would be wishing even more that you hadn't melt my pond. Did you ever stop to think that I had a good reason for keeping my pond frozen over or why it's even called Jack's pond in the first place!"

Surprised at Jack's angry tone the Spirit of Summer took a couple steps back as Jack turned his attention to Emily, unknown to either of them that they were being watched. Jack gently lifted up Emily's head and laid it in his lap, pleading with her not to leave him. "Wait, she was your sister." The Spirit of Summer gasped then covered her mouth once she realized who Jack was. "You… you're the boy who died after saving his sister. I'm so sorry Winter, I didn't know."

Jack glared at her and snarled, "Just go away Summer, you've done enough damage."

With shamed tears in her eyes the Spirit of Summer turned and fled into the woods. Once she was gone one of the two figures stepped into Jack's view and, recognizing the female Jack gently put Emily's on the ground before jumping to his feet. "Mother Earth, let me explain…" He began but she raised her hand to quiet his words.

"No need to young Winter Spirit, I… we saw the whole thing and have come to make a deal. I can save your sister but there will be a price."

"I'll give up whatever I have to just please save her, she's my little sister."

"You won't have to give up anything Frostbite but she will. Mother Earth will save her by making her the Spirit of Spring. I've been keeping my eye on her for a while now and think she would be perfect for the season." A deep male voice said from the shadows.

Jack whipped around, suddenly in protective big brother mode, and shot a flash of ice at whoever spoke. "You stay away from my little sister creep." He snapped.

Mother Earth placed a hand on Jack's staff and forced him to lower it. "There is no need to go after The Guardian of Hope young Winter Spirit. He is, after all, the Easter Bunny." She chuckled as Jack blushed and muttered out a sorry to Bunny, who had stepped into Jack's view.

Turning back to Mother Earth Jack looked pleading at her and she smiled softly at him, "I will bring your sister back while you refreeze your pond." She told him and went over to Emily's body to start. It took Jack an hour to redo all his work on the pond and, by the time he was done, the sun had set.

Going back over to the edge of his pond once he was done he was greeted by the newest immortal, the Spirit of Spring. "Hello, I'm Emily Overland or at least that's what Mother Earth told me. What's your name?"

"I'm Jack Frost and it was the Moon who told me my name, I'm also the Spirit of Winter. Mother Earth told me that you would be the Spirit of Spring when she promised to save your life."

Emily tilted her head. "Do explain."

"We were and still are brother and sister when we were still alive. You see the pond behind me?"

"The one you just froze?"

"Yes that one. That is the pond we both drowned in but I drowned three years ago after saving your life and you… well you drowned only an hour ago." Jack told her.

"So let me see if I heard you right. We were once alive, are brother and sister and are now Spirits of different seasons, Spring and Winter. While the Moon was the one who brought you back to life and gave you your name Mother Earth brought me back to life and gave me my name."

"Well it wasn't actually the Moon or Mother Earth who gave us our names it was our mortal parents who did. My full name was once Jackson Overland Frost and yours was Emily Overland Frost."

"Oh, I see so we get to keep our mortal names but their just shortened."

Jack nodded in answer and Emily shrugged before smiling. "I can live with that I suppose."
