.:|June's pov|:.

"First of all, ohmigod June you're not dead!" Jack yelled, pulling me into a hug and trapping my arms at my sides.

"Jack- choking- air- need-"

"Oh, right." He let me go and I took a deep breath, exaggerating.

"Now that I can breathe again, what was the second thing?"

"I- uh, I sorta saw all of my memories and yours."

"Really? Do you still have them?"

"They're in my pocket."

Without hesitating, I lunged for his hoodie. "I wanna see my memories!"

"Hold up!" He grabbed the tooth box with my face on it and held it over his head, where I couldn't reach it, holding me down with a hand on my shoulder. "Some of them are kind of painful. And it's just a sea of blackness, with only sound."

"Well, I was blind and burned alive before, I can deal with it again!"

He is right, you should not see your memories.

Jack immediately let me go and handed over the tube. "Here you go."

A cloud of moon dust rose up and engulfed the tube, hiding it from my view. "What the heck, man?"

There are important things you must know.

"Like what?"

If you would stop interrupting, I could tell you! Jeez. Now, there is something important you must know.

"Our love will destroy the world, blah blah blah, like I haven't heard that one before. So what if I'm fire and he's ice? So what if I'm the Sun and he's the Moon? We were like that before and nothing was blown up!"

Jack held my hand tentatively and I cooled down, sending all of my heat into my bracelet on the opposite wrist. My skin was about the temperature of a normal human and cooling fast.

"See? I can control myself!"

That's not what I'm talking about.

"Then get to the point already!" I yanked a spaghetti strap back onto my shoulder. The sundress was pretty, but impractical and flimsy.

If you would stop cutting me off

"Not going to happen buddy."

Jack snickered and I let go of his hand to lightly smack him upside the head before holding his hand again.

I could almost hear the writing sigh. Besides the fact that your love will destroy the world, if one of you cannot keep your control, you will both be hurt. You will only be able to talk during spring and autumn, when both of your talents are needed.

"So? We just go to a place where it's either spring or autumn to talk. It's always like that in some part of the world."

Once there are a spring and autumn spirit, you will no longer be needed during that season and you will not be able to talk at all.

"So? We can just take turns visiting the other's domain. Either way, we will make this work." My eyes flashed brightly and my bracelet glowed white-hot with all the heat it was containing. I squeezed Jack's hand.

Very well. But you both have important jobs now. Jack must inform the Guardians of these events, and June must go back and rally the Sun Warriors.

I held up my hand. "Whoa. But they saw me kill my mom and and one of my sisters. They won't trust me now!"

You will be a better leader than your mother ever was.

I was a little touched. "Well, thanks. But I also have to rule the Fire Kingdom and watch over Joshua. How will I do that?"

Appoint your half-sister as Empress.

"You know what, I think I can manage. She's only thirteen, and I don't particularly care for her boyfriend." I scowled a little. "He was wrapped in tinfoil."

Because she would have burned him otherwise.

"But he called me a dude!"

"June, I called you a dude for like, 300 years." Jack bumped my hip with his.

"Yeah, but I was dressed like a girl, not a guy that time!" I protested.

"Shut up and listen to the moon writing."

"How can I listen to it? It's writing."

"Oh my god, just let it write!"

"Nothing's stopping it."

Jack facepalmed and covered my mouth with his free hand. He told the ground to continue. I narrowed my eyes and was about to lick his hand when he pulled away.

June, stop that childish behavior. You must go back to the Sun now, or go down to Earth and accept the Guardianship.

"Can Jack come?"

No.

"But North will summon all of the Guardians when he announces a new one, right? So he'll have to be there."

Stop refuting my logic and go already!

"Jeez, someone has a quick temper."

The writing vanished. I rolled my eyes. "Drama queen."

I heard that.

"Good!" I grabbed Jack's hand and was about to blast us off when he tugged me back gently.

"I have to be up here to talk to the Guardians. Remember?"

"I can barely remember my own last name."

He narrowed his eyes at me. "You're either staying here with me or going down to Earth."

"I'll stay here."

"That's what I was hoping you'd say." He squeezed my hand tighter and laced our fingers together. "Now lets go summon the Guardians."
