Jamie had invited Jack to the Bennett family Thanksgiving. When he learned that Jack hadn't celebrated the holiday in 300 years he flat out insisted, no room for negotiations. When Jack arrived Jamie instantly took his hand and led him to where the kids were playing in the leaves.
"Everyone this is who I was telling you about. Meet Jack Frost."
To Jack's amazement, when Jamie introduced him and pointed him out, almost everyone (the older ones not included) there gasped and surrounded him.
"Wow! So you're the one that designs the frost?"
"And create snow days?"
"Can you really ride the wind?"
"Would you create a frost bunny for me?"
Jack turned his shocked eyes on Jamie.
"Like I promised, I told all the cousins about you. Now you'll have believers from all over."
Jack wiped his tears of happiness away and mouthed "thank you" to his first believer. After Jamie nodded; Jack's fun loving, mischievous smile returned. All morning and afternoon Jack and the others played and romped in the leaves. The reds, oranges, yellows, and purples piled high, perfect to leap and burrow into. Later, at Jack's prompt, Jamie got some old close and a dark pillowcase from his mom. They stuffed the leaves in until the jeans, shirt, and pillow case were filled to the brim then the openings were tide. These were tied to a broom and a pair of old boots and a hat were added, finishing the look.
"This is so cool." The kids exclaimed, admiring their scarecrow.
Jack drew frost eyes, nose, and mouth on the pillowcase head.
"No way!" Turning, Jack sees the older kids staring straight at him. Throughout the entire play time they had remained skeptical and were trying to reason out why things were moving when nothing seemed to be moving them. Now however it seems they'd finally let go of their doubt. "You weren't kidding Jamie, he's awesome!"
As he lands Jack causes blue snowflakes to spiral in the air. "Pleasure to meet you." He says giving a slight bow.
"I promise to never doubt you again." A tall boy whispers to Jamie. The younger boy only smiled; glad he could help his friend to be hit and this happy. As the sun reached halfway to the West horizon everyone was called in for dinner. The kids had wanted Jack to sit at the table with them but Jack explained that they would look pretty silly, talking to thin air, to the adults. So they settled for the winter spirit floating cross-legged above them. With all the kids plates open to him, Jack enjoyed the delicious Thanksgiving meal. When everyone was stuffed and drowsy the Bennett clan moved to the living room.
