The Easter Bunny rose and fell with the icy winds, moaning and screaming with fear. Jack was trying to keep the flight comfortable, but only barely. The expression of abject terror on the Bunny's face was just too fun, and so he let him sway.
He flew on ahead of him, swiping his wooden staff to bring a new swirling icy wind to their aid, pushing them onward.
"Stop! I need a brake. Jack, please, stop!" the Bunny implored.
Please. That was a new one. He never pleaded before. Sighing dramatically, Jack lowered his staff. Immediately the wind below them died away, and they fell rapidly towards the Earth. Jack stared longingly at the snow capped mountains in the distance and then noticed the castle rising tall, blocking the majestic ranges. The courtyard of the castle grounds glistened in the afternoon sun. What was it? Precious stones? It couldn't be ice? He was curious, his attention gripped.
"FROST!"
The scream caught his attention, making him realize that they were only a few feet off the ground. He whirled his staff and a cushion of air gripped them, dropping them gently on the grass. The Bunny fell on his back, but Jack had landed on his feet; already walking a few feet forward, his head tilting as he studied the shining courtyard. He shifted his attention back to the silhouette of the unfamiliar castle.
He puffed. "What is this place?"
"Is there really a corner of this planet that you haven't visited?" the Bunny grumbled as he rose to his feet, gripping his back.
Jack turned, waved his staff over the grass. An icy map of the world was created in it's wake, lands of ice interspersed with empty spaces where the grass showed. He studied each speck of ice. Bunny came over and studied the map from over his shoulder.
"That's not even half the world! This map is outrageously incomplete!" Bunny complained.
Jack shushed him, shifting his staff over the map, coming to stop over an area showing shining icy mountains, but then shifting a little lower to where the grass protruded out. He then looked back at the castle.
"That's definitely ice," he finally stated, straightening to stare at it once more, the map vanishing behind him, "and it has no right to be there."
"Did you hear me? Your map is all wrong! No wonder we're not getting anywhere!"
"And it's only in the courtyard. How strange," Jack continued as though the Bunny hadn't spoken, "And it's not artificial, I can tell."
"Jack!" the Bunny was pulling at his shirt, and so Jack finally turned to look at him.
"That's a snow map. Only shows regions of the world where it snows. Only regions of the world I go to, only regions I see," he explained, and then turned to the castle once more, "So no, I haven't ever been here before. Never had reason to. It can't snow here."
He pouted stubbornly.
The Bunny sighed, "This is Arendelle. A pretty decent population of very adorable little children. Easter is much celebrated," he smirked as he continued, grabbing the opportunity, "Unlike you, we guys have to work at every single city of the world. No exceptions."
"Yeah," Jack countered, "Once a year."
Before Bunny could respond, Jack jumped forward, walking towards the city, "Come on, let's go check it out! You can show me around. I haven't been a tourist in ages! Should be fun! And we can check out that ice patch!"
"That's why Sant sends me to fetch you," he muttered in response, "You are more easily distracted than a child! We have a meeting in an hour!"
A large cloth bag materialized in his hand, and he pulled Jack back and into it.
"Hey!" Jack cried, but the rest he tried to say was muffled. The Bunny hauled the bag over his back, and tapped the ground twice. A rabbit hole was created as a circle of dust gave away. Before he could jump in though, the bag froze over, and he dropped it with a yelp, grabbing his fingers.
"For once! Behave like the Guardian you are!" the Bunny hollered.
Jack, making his way out the bag, cringed apologetically.
"I'm just curious," he explained.
"Well, quench your curiosity on your own time!" the Bunny responded, "We have work to do now!"
They stood staring each other down.
"Do what you want," the Bunny muttered, walking towards the rabbit hole. Jack, finally deciding work was more important if not more fun, trudged behind him. His interest was waning as quickly as it had arisen. They had managed to arrange a little ice. Maybe from the icy mountains close by. Whatever.
The Bunny jumped down the hole, muttering, "It's probably the Snow Queen."
"The what?" Jack asked, eyes wide. But the Bunny was gone.
"Oh, come on!" Jack complained, and jumped in behind him.
"The what?" his voice echoed, then the rabbit hole closed; and there was nothing.
