☃ Jack POV

"What are you going to do about that?" North sighed. I ran a hand through my hair, shaking my head.

"I don't know, North." Frowning, I stood up from where I sat.

"I'm still going to do it, but I'll wait for the right time. When its time..." I gulped. "I'll inform you."

"Jack, mating is marriage." North chuckled. "Are you ready for that?"

"Hell no."

"I wouldn't go too far in a short period in my life. I'm immortal. I have plenty of time. A millenium, maybe? She wouldn't leave me..."

"Exactly. What we need to do now is settle for-" North stood up.

"I'll go and meet Aqua." I rolled my eyes.

North gestured to the door with a smirk. I walked out the room stiffly, rubbing the back of my neck. The door clamped shut as I left it smashing to the door frame, I care so less. I started walking along the hallway, my destination was an open window.

Then, coming to my vision was Ben and Breeze, hand in hand, smiling so proudly with their strong bond. I raised an eyebrow as they fastened their paces when they saw me.

"What's up?" I asked informally as they came closer.

"Going to see Aqua?" Breeze asked, biting her lip. I nodded with my teeth gritted. My anger to Aqua's not done yet.

"We'll come with you." The words which left Ben's mouth was expected.

"Hi, Jack." Aqua hopped of the branch in a swift movement, walking towards me confidently. I shuffled my weight to my right foot, nodding in reply.

He smiled at me - somehow that smile was apologetic and sad, but I didn't let his expression affect me too much. His eyes returned to deep blue, no longer a creepy shade of red.

"Just came to settle things out. Firstly, sorry about... last incident. I was-"

"Its okay, Jack. I'm sorry." He frowned as he cut me off.

"I was damn crazy. Yeah, I now realise your potential of hurting people," He laughed. "But yeah, I really do realise, and I really am sorry."

"I've no intention to take Jade way from you..." His tone became lower. " 'Twas just a saying, yanno."

"Good..." I raised an eyebrow.

"Whatever happened... Just forget it happened. Okay?" He smiled at me and for the first time after the fight, I replied the smile. "Well, gotta put out some fire..." He smiled once more.

I started to turn around to face the happy looking Ben and Breeze, but froze as Aqua said another word.

"Say hello to the Guardians for me, buddy. And North owes me dinner." He laughed before flying off.

"Well that was..." I scrunched my face. "Easy." Ben finished for me.

Yes it was. I expected it to be another blood-shedding confrontation, or some elements exchanges. I was surprised it came out smooth. Wondered why.

"I think so too. Must have something to do with-" Breeze started, but Ben clamped her mouth close and smiled nervously at me.

"Who? What?" I asked anxiously. Ben gave Breeze a pouted lip to which she returned with a lip-bite.

"Ben..." I warned, glaring at him. Apparently 5 seconds of doing so, then he told me the answer.

Jade POV

I walked around the house, fixing things and correcting the furniture inside. I glanced at the fireplace which is now beautifully lit.

Slowly, I opened the window. Honestly, I hadn't opened this window recently. As in recently I meant in about 50 years or so. I didn't have a reason to do so. Enjoying myself wasn't in my agenda before I met Jack.

His presence as the Guardian of Fun changed me somehow. Truthfully, I see myself playing games alot this winter. I was supposed to stay at home almost all the time and only come out when needed, but now I found myself going out at every chance I could get- even for no reason.

Pointlessly fun, really.

Winter is over, spring's on its way. I look forward for spring- the meadow in front of my house would.bloom all the way. I know, I could burn them with just a single touch.

It was what I hated about myself. I'm a destruction queen.

Ever since I met Jack... I felt good about myself. Just realised. My powers give me the chance to protect everyone else... Even gives me a reason to fight for. My fights now weren't that pointless.

The sun is setting. The view's beautiful. As last rays of daylight surrendered from the darkening sky, a knock could be heard at my door.

Scrunching my face, I walked up to the door. I feel no danger, so I didn't activate my hot mode.

I creaked the door fully open, and there stood Jack Frost.

His white gleaming teeth was showing, almost unnoticeable crinkles appear by the corners of his eyes as he smiled wildly.

None of us said anything, just Jack smiling big at me. I raised my eyebrows in confusion and slight surprise.

"Hello." Jack greeted, the smile didn't fade.

"Hi." I stepped aside, giving him room to walk in.

"Whats up?" I asked, closing the door as Jack casually sat on the bed. I joined him when he patted the space next to him.

"Thank you."

"What... why? Why are you thanking me?" I stammered, bedazzled.

"Were you the one who gave Aqua some talk?" He blinked twice at me.

Dang it. It was supposed to be a secret. I didn't want Jack to know that I actually had beaten Aqua up all by myself and make him return to reality. Jack's overprotective- one of the reasons.

I played dumb, making a face. Jack raised an eyebrow when I told him it wasn't me.

"Really?" He raised his eyebrow higher as I repeated the statement that it wasn't me who did it.

"Yeah." I smiled.

"Liar." He narrowed his blue eyes in slits, accusing me. I avoided eye contact, I'd definitely lose it when his eyes search mine for answers. Truth.

"Come on, Jade. It was you, wasn't it?" He begged for truth.

"Nope." I blinked.

"IT WAS YOU!" He pointed at me, eyes wide. Wow. Playful Jack Frost?

"What?" I chromed in reply, chuckling.

"The pendant." He stated calmly, smiling in victory.

I looked down at the snowflake pendant, it wasn't transparent anymore. Opaque, and its dark blue.

"Magic?" I asked him.

"When you speak the truth, the snowflake will be icy and clear. But when you lie it'll turn opaque and dark." He explained.

"Who are you? Prince Veritas?" I laughed, to where he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Kinda. But really," He flipped his hair once. "Thank you for settling Aqua for me. You make things way easier. But you, all alone, you shouldn't do that. What if you get hurt and-" See? Overprotective Jack.

"Its okay. He wouldn't hurt me." I recalled the promise.

"Thats a relief." He neared his face to me.

"Do you love me?" He asked, eyes half closed.

"I do." The snowflake pendant on my chest glowed in clarity, turning purely icy and clear once more as I spoke the truth.

His lips pressed to mine, the assuring cold sensation seem to last for eternity.
