Where Do We Go From Here||Just Like Me

Chapter Summary: Jack and Elsa get to know each other a little better.

Chapter Rating: K, like the entirety of this arc.

[It came out much shorter than I meant it but I started it while I was on a roll with the Dictionary Drabbles and it turned out very minimal and external and formal. Whatever, I like it besides that. Only 630 words instead of well over 1,000 like most chapters.]

"Mr. Frost! You came back!"

Jack chuckles and pats Elsa's head lightly, a set of new gloves on his hands. "'Course I did kiddo, what are friends for?"

Elsa's bright blue eyes open even wider, if possible. "You're my friend? I've never had a friend before."

Jack's heart aches, and he feels the urge to take her into the village to play with other children, but he selfishly tucks that thought away. Elsa is his friend. His only friend. And he is hers. It will stay like that forever and ever, Jack and Elsa and Elsa and Jack. "Well, yeah, we're friends, right?" She nods eagerly, bringing a smile to both pale faces. "Then I'll be here for you. Just ask Wind for Jack Frost when you need me, and I'll come right to you."

"Who's Wind?" Her nose scrunches slightly, and her jealousy isn't as well-disguised as his. It makes him feel better.

"Wind is, y'know, the wind. I'll teach you how to talk to her if you want. She's like my big sister."

Elsa's eyes lose the darkened look and start to twinkle again. "Like me and Anna!" She says it like 'Ah-nah'. "My little sister! She's sick," she says gloomily, gesturing to the empty pink bed across from hers. "But she should be better soon, and then we can all play together!"

Jack is a bit worried for the youngest sister. He still fails to notice all the room's special qualities from last night, and that they are only centered around Elsa's portion of the room. "Do you want to visit her?"

Elsa shakes her head. "Mummy says I can't get sick too. I have to wait until Anna gets better before I can get sick."

Jack nods sagely. "Ah, I see. Well, in the meantime, do you want to build a snowman?"

The little girl bounces up and down on the balls of her feet excitedly. "Yeah! I'll do the magic!"

"The wha-?" Jack manages before Elsa focuses, points her hands at the room, and a burst of ice and winter magic shoots out of her hands and explodes into thousands of snowflakes that drift down softly.

Elsa goes up to Jack and grabs his hand, pulling him into the snow with her. "I'm just like you!"

Jack nods a few times, dazed as he watches the snow as if he's never seen any before. "Just... like... me..." he mumbles quietly. He quickly shakes off the fog clouding his mind and beams at Elsa, so as not to worry her. "Let's play, princess!" He now knows why Elsa can touch him without being hurt. "Show me what you can do!"

With a giggle, the room explodes into winter, courtesy of the future Queen of Arendelle. "C'mon, I want to show you Olaf!"

The rest of the day is spent in fun and games and a lopsided snowman, and is ended with a promise to come back the next day.

It is the first of many such promises, promises Jack never breaks, because he has finally found someone just like him. In time, Anna sees him too, and the three have as much fun as their childish hearts desire. The two little girls begin calling him Jack instead of Mr. Frost, and the three- well, four, including Wind- are the best of friends.

Everything is perfect for two more years.

And then tragedy strikes, for fate has already determined that nothing can be perfect forever.

In a span of hours, everything changes, and from that day on, things begin spiraling downwards faster than seemingly possible.

Nothing will ever be the same again.
