Author's note:
Just to give everyone a fair warning before reading on. The characters, time period, etc are NOT MEANT TO BE ACCURATE TO THE ORIGINAL STORIES. In reality, the Rise of the Guardians happen much MUCH later than Frozen and Jack is TECHNICALLY probably still possibly alive or just about dead during this time period. But nonetheless, I hope this story will still prove entertaining.
This shall be a wonderful journey my friends.
For once North was concerned when Jack contacted him first. Could it be? Is he going crazy? Did a child of concern die suddenly?
"That's rude," said Jack after North voiced his concerns.
"You never called me before," said North. "This is an absolute first."
"Well I have news for you and questions for the moon man."
"What?"
"Okay, let me start from the beginning. So I was building snowmen...don't be disappointed in me yet North, I just started."
North sighed. "Alright go on."
"Skip forward a bit and I end up building a snowman on one of those patios in the castle in Arendale. Then I get caught-not by a child nor a believer-by this woman...by the way, she has the most beautiful eyes-"
"Get to the point Jack"
"-she's able to manipulate ice like me."
"Manipulate ice?" North spoke in a disbelieving tone. "You're already difficult to deal with and there's another one?"
"Have you spoken to him yet? Manny I mean"
"I was going to call him before you called me," said North. "Alright I'll talk to him about the woman...what is her name?"
"I think she said her name was...Elsa I think?"
North was silent again.
"North?"
"The new queen of Arendale?!"
"A queen?!"
"Elsa...no wonder…"
"No wonder...what?"
But North did not respond to his question. "Nevermind, I'll get back to you later. Stay out of trouble."
"Okay, okay talk to you later DAD"
"I am NOT your father." Then the line was cut.

Elsa was resting upon a chair by her open door to the patio. She had just finished signing heaps of documents which seemed to be nearly endless. She saw that the sky had cleared up and sunlight was streaming into her room. It was rare for sunlight to reveal itself to Arendale and Elsa wanted to take it in.
"Hello," said a white haired boy as he floated from the sky.
"Hello Jack," said Elsa in reply. "Are you here to build another snowman?"
"I'm not." Jack grinned at the thought however. "But if you're building one, I'll be more than happy to help you."
She raised her brows. "I'm too old to have any sort of fun with snow."
"What are you talking about? No one's ever too old to have fun with snow."
"I've seen snow for nearly my entire life. What's the fun in having something you've seen your entire life?"
Jack thought for a moment before replying. "I'm actually not sure myself."
Elsa gave him an exasperated look.
"Sorry gosh," surrendered Jack. "Maybe if I show you what ice can do. That'll prove something right?"
Elsa brightened up by the idea. "Sounds good."
"But only one exception"
"Exception?"
"To build a snowman together," said Jack with a wide smile.
Elsa never built a snowman before, how can Jack expect her to help him out? She was only going to cause chaos without even touching the snow. "Why do you want to build a snowman when you can simply use magic?"
Jack shrugged. "If you do everything with magic, what's the fun of it? C'mon! I want to bring you to where the best snow is."
Elsa was hesitant, stepping out of the castle was something she never done ever since she was a child.
"Your majesty?"
"Alright let me change into something warmer."
Jack looked blankly at her for a moment before chuckling. "I forget that you're human. It's difficult for me to stick around without freezing someone."
Elsa shrugged. "Cold doesn't bother me. Maybe it's the perks of having ice powers?"
Jack felt the sudden urge to keep her. Cold doesn't bother her? Quickly he pushed the idea out of his head, he's immortal for gods sake.
Once Elsa was ready, they met up again at the back garden. "You know since you're not exactly human and all, it's still rather strange when you appear on a lady's patio spontaneously."
Jack chuckled nervously. "My bad, I've forgotten my manners. Normally people can't see me."
Elsa was unfazed by the unusual presence of Jack's being. She still scolded him. "You can't do that especially with people you just met."
"Yes ma'am," replied Jack obediently, slightly shocked by the force of her dominating aura.
Elsa's lips curved in a slight smile. "Very good; now where is this snow?"
Jack then extended his hand to her. "The journey will be rocky if we don't stay together."
She took his hand. "Why is that-!"
He then slipped his cane behind her back and stepped closer to Elsa. She gripped his arm in surprise before looking up to his bright blue eyes. "Cause we're flying there."

Elsa's nervous fear of the unknown was getting the better of her. Her arms were wrapped tightly around Jack's neck as she experienced her first time gliding in the sky. Elsa mumbled quietly to Jack's shoulder. "Jack…"
"Hmm?"
"I'm sorry am I hurting you?"
Jack chuckled awkwardly. "I don't mind it. Although you do have your nails digging into my shoulder."
Elsa apologized again. "I apologize, I must be more nervous than I think I am…"
He then paused his gliding and began to float in place. "Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Jack exclaimed. "It's not your fault, I probably should have warned you before I set off. I mean it's the first time ages that someone's been able to see me."
But that was the least of Elsa's worries at the time. "It's really fine Jack, honestly I'm more worried about my arms giving out on this ride…"
Jack then lifted Elsa up and carried her princess-style. "Sorry is this better?"
Elsa was surprised how sturdy Jack's arms were despite how skinny of a boy he was. "Ah, yes I'm fine now."
Then Jack continued towards their designated location.

Elsa was blown away, the snow was still powdery and fresh which was different from the snow she was used to from around the castle. She began to pack a snowball for the snowman before she was attacked by one.
Jack laughed playfully. "Whoops?"
She sighed before returning a snowball.
"Whoa!" Jack yelped. He then brushed off the snow before preparing another snowball. "Oh yeah? It's on Queen Elsa."
Elsa gave him a crooked smile. "You asked for it."
After what seemed to be an hour, Jack and Elsa attacked each other with snowballs. Every time Jack threw a snowball, Elsa seemed to be able to dodge most of them. She was pretty skilled at Jack's own game which only fired up Jack's playful spirit more.
"Take this!" Jack threw another snowball towards Elsa who seemed to be in the middle of creating another snowball. Whoops, it seemed like he aimed a little too well towards Elsa who was completely off guard.
Elsa, in surprise, extended a hand out releasing a wisp of her magic. The snowball then slumped to the ground, harmless.
Jack scratched his head. "Wow, wasn't expecting that."
"Oh no," said Elsa looking at the fallen snowball.
"What's wrong?"
"Sometimes my magic causes more than just ice shards. It also…"
"Also?" Jack said as he walked towards Elsa who was standing over the snow ball.
Before Elsa could finish her sentence, the snowball began to roll away.
"Why is it rolling away like that-"
But Elsa took off running after the snowball before he finished asking his question.
X
Jack was very curious now, what else could Elsa's magic do? She didn't finish her statement and it left him hanging for what she was going to say. But he couldn't ask her now, he was running after a snowball, out of everything he could be chasing it was a snowball? Maybe he was growing insane, after all it was the first time his magic had little effect on snow...on snow, and he was supposed to be the ruler of the winter.
"So why are we running after this snowball?" Jack asked Elsa as they were running.
Elsa looked blantly worried. "It's going to become alive."
"Alive?!"
"I don't know why it happens, but every time I use magic on snowballs or snowmen they become their own being."
Jack was half impressed and half jealous. Why couldn't he do that? But his jealousy was the least of his worries in that moment. "What are you going to do after you capture it?"
"I don't know! They normally vanish after a few days into the snow, but they still like to cause trouble." Elsa then stopped in her tracks. "Where did it go?"
Jack then lifted himself into the air to look for the rolling snowball. Instead of the small snowball he originally made, it had become significantly larger. "I found it!"
"Where?"
Jack then grabbed Elsa by the waist with one hand and returned into the air. "It's getting amazingly huge."
"If only I could control my magic better this would have never happened…" Elsa gazed at her hand and seemed to fear her own power.
Jack then used his open hand and gripped Elsa's. "Don't be ashamed of your magic. The man in the moon must have gifted you with it for a reason."
"But for what reason?! All my magic has done is trouble and I don't know how to stop it."
"Elsa," said Jack.
She quieted quickly at the mention of her name. When was the last time someone called her by her own name instead of "your majesty"?
"Magic isn't meant to be stopped. Concealing such magic will only cause more of it to release uncontrollably."
Elsa was in shock of his words. So concealing her magic wasn't going to prevent her power outbreak.
"I'll stop in front of the snowball. During the meantime, you figure out a way around your magic in this living snowball...thing and meanwhile I'll slow it down."
"O-okay," responded Elsa. Once they landed, Jack began to blow a snowstorm towards the snowball which effectively slowed it down. Elsa took a deep breath, I can do this, I've done this before as a child… Then, ten years of compressed magic sprouted from the ground which took out a few trees nearby and even the large snowball. She stared in surprise of her own work, she did it?
Jack then patted her on the shoulder. "Wow look at that ice."
Elsa looked at her hands impressed. She laughed nervously. "I was afraid I'd take you out too."
"I'm likely made of ice, I'll probably never die. So I wouldn't worry too much about me your majesty-"
"Elsa," said Elsa. "I want you to call me Elsa."
Jack looked at Elsa with surprise. He saw that she was serious. "You don't mind being called Elsa by an eternal teenager?"
"Oh please," sad Elsa sarcastically. "You're hardly even a teenager. You're an eternal child at heart."
He crossed his arms. "I'm not an eternal child, I'll show you."
Elsa laughed. "Alright, don't disappoint me now Jack."
