Thank you FlappyBookworm for keeping your promise and checking out this story!

POV Jack

“Oh, stop it.. it hurts!” I said to that crazy woman who was on top of me. On top of me, WHAT? Where am I ? Then my stunned face calms down when I remember what just had happened.

I started to laugh. “Stop this you, you…perv! Let me go, quit pointing at me” She was screaming.

I stop laughing and turn serious. “Whoa, whoa, WHOA! You got it wrong lady. I’m sorry but my staff is the thing that is touching your back.” I started to explain.

“STAFF? “ She sounded horrified. “ Well yes, I have a staff made of wood. It is good for leaning you know”. I told her grinning.

“Uhm.. Just get your hand off me and I can get out of this situation!” She was giving me an order.

“Hey miss, you are the one who got us in this situation anyway” I move my head closer to hers and whisper in her ear and move my hand. I couldn’t help not to notice but she smelled nice.

Right at the moment when my hand was off from her she jumped up and stepped off from the heavy chair that was still on me. “Ouch, why did you do that? It hurt!” I squeezed my face into an expression with pain. I pretended that I just now fainted.

POV Elsa

Maybe I went too far? I looked at boy’s body that seemed unconscious.  He was strange looking with no shoes, wearing only a blue hoodie and brown pants that were covered with something shimmering. He truly had a staff made of wood, it looked dear to him because it was close to him.

I started to look at his face. His skin was pale like mine, his face was gorgeous and he had hair as white as snow or ice. When I looked his mouth he started to smile. Then I saw his deep blue eyes. Was there snowflakes? He laughed with heartwarming joy in his voice.

“Why won’t you have fun, ever?” He asked from me smiling while he was still laying on the floor.

“Because I could hurt someone” I said with sadness in my voice.

“Why is that?” He asked from me and tried to sit. “ I think I broke something and I don’t mean my staff” He laughed.

“Oh no, I’m sorry! This is why no one is permitted to come near me..even my sister. I also have ice powers that I need to hide” My explanation was interrupted when they boy suddenly asked me if I could help him up.

“ Yes, I think so?” I was careful that I wouldn’t harm him with my curse which the ice powers are on my opinion.

“Thank you” he said while smiling at me. “ First of all what were you reading before?” He winked his eye.

I pointed at a book on the table. “ Oh, that.. my mum read it to me as I was a child. It tells a story about Jack Frost. The only person who had same powers and could comfort me when I tried to sleep as a child” I looked the book with misery showing on my expression.

He blushed, I don’t know why but he did!

“So well that kinda book” Now it seemed that his body was somehow fixed because he could move easily. Like when he was moving his bodyweight from his toes to heels and back again with an odd smirk on his face.

“Ummm… how about a deal?” His eyes were little bit teasing.

“What kind of deal?” I wanted to know.

“ Well.. I don’t know how to read or write.. we didn’t have schools threehund…three years ago in our village. Would you teach me?” He looked a bit frustrated and anxious at the same time.

“ What will I get in return?” I placed my hands on my lap and stared at him.

He pasted in a circle for a while. “ Uhm.. I will help you to control your powers so you don’t have to wear your gloves.” He had an awfully confident pose.

Well.. he might be a little crazy but maybe I need to let him try to help me. “If that works it would be my only hope. You have two years from now because then I will be 18 and become the Queen”.

POV Jack

“Yes..I mean, YOU mean that.. you are a princess and the future queen” I tried not to let my chin drop.

“ Well yes.. This is why I study . Now that my parents died last winter I need to control my powers because it is harder to conceal something when the coronation day comes.” She looked down to her feet.

“ My Queen, I will help you” What a way to spend my holiday, teaching a real queen. I was smiling and laughing at my insides.

“ Don’t try to be clever. Just call me Elsa. Who are you anyway?” She was awfully gracious while she spoke.

“Well… can you start by teaching me some letters? I want to write my name to you” I smiled almost and gave her a teasing smile.

“ Ok fine. “ Elsa agreed.

Narrator

Two weeks passed. Jack visited the castle everyday and finally learned to read small portions and knew the alphabets and how to write his name. Elsa was also learning things about her feelings and that they are in contact with her abilities. However she didn't know that Jack actually knew how to write his name until one day.

POV Jack

“ Well Elsa.. Do you want to know who I am? Then I can train you properly before I need to leave for my job.” He smirked at me.

“Well of course I do. I can see what my pupil has learned” Elsa laughed and she suddenly stopped when blush was turning her cheeks red.

I stared at her when  feeling little surprised and  then laughed from the bottom of my heart with my hands around my belly. Then the pain hit again, deep from my chest. I hid it from Elsa and went to her desk.

My hand shaked when I drew “J” and then “A”. Elsa was watching behind of me and her eyebrows looked focused on what I was doing. I felt nervous suddenly and threw the pen away

“Screw this". I said and noticed that Elsa was looking confused.

“Please don’t give up. You were doing just fine!” She tried to convince me.

“But I didn’t like my handwriting! I - I.. Ineed to do it in some other way… “ I felt a relief when the idea rushed to my head.

In the heat of the moment I grapped Elsa close to me and hold on to her so she wouldn’t run.

“Hey what are you doing?” She asked.

“ Well I’m showing you who I am, of course” I told her with bright smile to calm her down.

POV Elsa

He is so close to me and I think this is not appropriate but I will endure this. He wants really to show me this. Sometimes he is so childish. I smile at him and he turns my head towards a window .

He placed his hand on the window and the window frosted.. “W-what happened?” I asked him  and he said it is ok and I should watch.

He writed two words on the window. Jack Frost.

My jaw droppped and I now looked carefully at the boy. He was pale, had mesy white hair and extremely blue eyes. His clothes were covered with something.. maybe it could be frost.. Is he.. Could he be... No way, he couldn’t be Jack Frost! Or could he be the idol from my childhood?  He really exists?

“Y-you are Jack. Guardian of Fun?” I stared at him straight into his eyes.

“Yes, yes I am” He smiled and threw a single hair strand away from my face. Is he going to do what I think he is going to do?

POV Jack

There it is, the second strike of pain. Just as expected.. Unfortunately it ruined the moment and my weight was now mostly to her to hold. I hugged her tightly until the pain stopped.

I watched Elsa’s eyesto see if she was scared of me. Surprisingly she seemed confused and worried more than anything else.

POV Elsa

What was that? It looked like he lost control over his body for a while. I think that I  really worry about him. It was like a huge wave of cold came from inside of him.

POV Jack

I moved away from her and laughed because I was trying to lift the mood up.

“What if we do some training?” I smiled and winked at her. "I mean to control your powers?" She nodded.

Narrator

The summer went fast and Jack was finally able to read and write well. Elsa, with help of Jack, could control her powers because he helped her to recognize her feelings in time. Jack had to leave for his guardian duties at fall and promised to come to see her as soon as possible.
