Mean Seasons 52 Rides More Than Wind
The Burgess children were puzzled. Jack Frost had led them to his lake to show them something spectacular, and then had disappeared into the woods.
That had been ten minutes ago.
"Where is he?" Claude asked, kicking a small snowpile.
"Look, guys, if Jack says he'll be back with a surprise, then he'll be back with a surprise. We just gotta be—"
"Oh...my...gosh.." Cupcake said in awe, mouth hanging open and a squeal of dewlight stuck in her throat. "It's a...a...a"
"UNICORN!" the children shreaked, eyes dancing in pure joy as the beast cantered through the small crowd, neighing and rearing, Jack astride his back whooping excitedly.
Cupcake was a little frightened at first. She had dreamed of these beautiful creatures her whole life, but those dreamicorns seemed an insult to the real thing in front of her. Huge as he was, it dwarfed his true powerful frame. Muscles strained and snapped as he moved, his hooves shaking the ground as Jack guided him to a slow walk, then halted right in front of her. The girl's nervousness was alleviated when the large muzzle dipped down and allowed her to hang on him for a while, giggling as he slowly lifted her up, then set her back down on the snow.
"Where did you find him Jack?" Jamie asked, breathless.
"Well, he found me actually." The winter sprite admitted sheepishly. ":He chose me due to our pasts. You see, he used to be a reindeer buck before he sacrificed himself to protect me. I guess MiM wanted to reward him."
"Amazing!"
"Yeah he is..." Jack said, eyes sparkling.
"Now...Who wants a ride?"
