Update; 18/11/15

Changed jap to gap. That's all.

So, I had this idea.

What if, Jamie's mom had said something different at the beginning of the film? What would've happened?

Poem for Jack Frost, by Skullkay25

My skin is as cold as ice
My heart is like a stone
I'm surrounded by people
But I feel all alone
People look right through me
They all pass me by
They never hear me scream
They never see me cry
The only ones who see me
Act like I'm not there
They know that I exist
They just don't seem to care
I'll always be alone
I'll always feel lost
I'll forever be invisible

I'll forever be... Jack Frost

A figure, dressed in blue hoodie, brown, skin tight, trousers with laces around the bottom and barefoot. He had a hooked staff dangling over his shoulder. Frost patterns spread him every now and then.

He watched, relaxing on top of the fence, as a boy in blue jeans, an orange/yellow jumper and a blue body warmer with a red stripe grabbed a sled from the side of the steps.

His attention was diverted towards the small girl that had come out of the house, wearing big, blue and fluffy boots with green/white striped trousers and a white with yellow striped shirt coming down the stairs.

"Easter bunny! Hop, hop, hop!" Sophie called as she hopped down the stairs, but, just as she reached the ground, Abby bumped into her, sending her sprawling.

Jamie, the boy, had just turned his head enough to see what happened, but couldn't be bothered to help her up again. So, turning towards the door, he called, completely uninterested.

"Mom... Sophie fell again."

Before continuing to walk towards the fence with his sled in his arms.

The pairs mother walked out of the house to help Sophie up.

When she saw Sophie crying, she asked.

"You O.K, Soph?"

On-top of the fence, Jack let the small smile slip onto his face at the sight, before turning his attention back to the gate just before Jamie left. In time to see him stop and reluctantly turn when his mother called.

"Jamie, hat! You don't want Jack Frost nipping at your nose."

Jack couldn't help the slight groan of exasperation at the 'expression', why did people have to come up with that of all things. It was only a, small, prank!

Jamie slumped before tuning around while Mrs Bennett placed the winter hat on his head, making it hard to get on straight. Which she left for him to straighten out.

Jamie looked inquisitive when he looked at his mother.

"Who's Jack Frost?" He asked. Sounding incredibly interested over the name he hadn't heard before and wasn't in his Mythological books.

Hanna smiled softly before turning back to her son and, with a slight grin, replied.

"Why, he's the one who throws the first snowball, the one no-one expects. He is also the one to send unsuspected kids on thrilling rides of ice." Seeing the look of joy in Jamie's eyes, instead of leaving it at that she continued. "No-one should be afraid or sad when he's around, only exited and eager for the next game."

With that, she turned and left, leaving a boy with the beginnings of the belief of an invisible trickster. One who has never been seen before, but was there.

Hanna caught sight of a flicker of blue as she walked back to the porch, on top of the fence. She smiled, remembering the times when she was as young as Jamie, learning how to ice skate and having snowball fights. That was what encouraged her as she thought up Jack Frost.

Jack watched, flabbergasted, as the adult entered her house. That was the first time anyone said anything other than 'doesn't matter, it's only an expression'. Glancing back at Jamie, he could see some skepticism in with the awe of the description of, well, him.

Feeling slightly insulted at the, possible, skepticism. Jack hopped off the fence and scooped a handful of snow, breathing into it to give a blue shine that everyone likes.

In a mock insulted voice, he asked, "Who's Jack Frost?"

Pulling his arm back, he aimed at the retreating form of Jamie Bennett, who had already gotten across the road, before throwing.

Jamie was just about to give a reply to Caleb when he was, unexpectedly, hit by a snowball. Right in the center of his back.

Stumbling forwards, he just managed to get his balance back before tripping.

Standing up straight, he grinned before calling, "Alright, who threw that?"

Spotting Pippa and Monty making a snowman, he grabbed some snow to chuck at his intended target. Distantly, he heard someone say.

"Well, it wasn't big-foot kiddo."

While his sight distorted just to the left of Pippa and Monty

Ignoring it, for now, Caleb threw a snowball at Monty's back while Jamie threw his at Pippa. Sending Monty sprawling into the pile of snow in front of him while Pippa fell onto her back.

Sitting up quickly, Pippa exclaimed loudly and with a tint of amusement. "Jamie Bennett, no fair!"

"You struck first." Came her reply.

Jamie caught sight of a white haired teenager call "Free for all!" briefly before he got hit by a snowball from Monty, promptly forgetting about it.

That didn't stop the smile from appearing when some snowballs seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

He was having so much fun, that he didn't know he was backing towards a snowman, with someone behind it.

A snowball appeared out of nowhere and hit him on the head, sending him into the snowman.

Just before he fell, Pippa threw another snowball at him. When the snowball few over Jamie and hit the other person, the kids stopped and the tall girl with a small skirt and pink jumper turned around Pippa skipped back a step, before exclaiming quietly.

"Crud, I hit Cupcake."

Monty immediately pointed to her, stating.

"She hit Cupcake."

Claude ducked his head back slightly while whimpering out.

"You hit Cupcake."

Jamie could only wince up at the towering figure as she turned and pulled the sled above his head in an attempt to hide himself.

Cupcake growled aggressively while holding the snowman's head in both hands, something non of the other kids could do as it was too big.

She scowled at each child before, suddenly, a snowball hit her right on the forehead.

Jamie could only blink in surprise as the others declined throwing the last snowball.

Everyone blinked in surprise when Cupcake started laughing, out the corner of his eye, Jamie noticed a figure standing on top of a... stick?

Cupcake lifted the snowman's head above her head and bellowed a laughter filled war cry, which Jamie used to get up and run.

While he passed the other kids who where still looking at Cupcake, he laughed loudly before running faster. Followed closely by the others and than Cupcake, who had started charging after them with the prolonged cry.

Briefly, Jamie wondered who seemed to be at the corner of his eye, because someone was definitely there.

Jack laughed as he caught up with them, before seeing something that made mischief dance in his eyes.

Darting forwards, he created enough ice for Jamie to slip while letting the wind send the others crashing down into a pile.

"Look out, it's slippery."

Jamie fell onto his sled and started sledding down the side of the hill, right onto the road.

Jack darted ahead to see Jamie take off the ground by a ramp he created, watched as he sailed past him before catching up to him again and sending ice to take him away from a crash.

Jamie didn't see this as his hat got into his eyes, but when he pulled it up again, he was just about to hit the road.

Although he did hear the laugh and caught sight of a teenage boy wearing a blue hoodie flying by his side, and he felt safe.

"Jack Frost." Jamie whispered in awe of the spirit making ice in front of him.

"Keep up with me, kid. Brake left!"

Jamie shook his head slightly, and focused on not getting in an accident.

Turning the corner, narrowly missing a dog walker, they both saw the mound of sand in Jamie's way.

Landing roughly, Jamie had just enough time to start laughing before realizing he was on the sidewalk, and there were still people on it too.

Rocketing on both his sides, Jamie started laughing again. He didn't have to worry, Jack Frost was there.

Jack turned slightly to look back at the laughing kid, deciding to do something.

Landing in front of him, Jack grinned, keeping the pace in a backwards skate. "Hey, there you go."

Jumping back up, Jack had just enough time to divert Jamie from the path of the snow plough, before it actually hit him.

Making a ramp for Jamie to jump with, Jack wasn't surprised to find he made a full circle back to the park.

Jamie hit the ramp and went flying, higher than Jack expected him to go. The other kids stopped and stared, mouths agape, at the sight.

All to soon, Jamie crashed into a pile of snow, right at the base of the statue.

Jack flew onto the pedestal at the feet of the statue of Thaddeus Burgess, throwing his arms out and yelling, "Yea!"

Pippa, Claude, Caleb, Monty and Cupcake rushed over, quickly asking if Jamie was alright.

Jamie pushed the hat back off his eyes before standing up and calling, excitedly.

"Wow, did you guys see that? It was amazing!"

Jack shook his head slightly and smirked lightly to himself, it never got old, watching kids having fun because of him... Or at all, really.

"I ha- I did this jump then I slid under a-"

Whatever he was about to say was interrupted by the sofa that barreled into him.

Jack winced, along with the other kids.

The other kids approached cautiously, to see if Jamie was alright or not.

Just as they got to the sofa, Jamie's hand was thrown up holding a tooth. Jack's shoulders slumped. Soon after, Jamie came up.

"Whoa, a tooth!"

Jack hopped into a crouching position facing the kids again.

"Dude, that means cash!"

"Oh, no. Nohow." Jack complained, quietly, as he slumped further.

"I gotta put this under my pillow." Jamie said as he jumped before strutting away. The others crowded around him, asking questions in an increasingly load tone.

Jack hopped down from the pedestal, frustrated at the lack of attention.

"Aw, wait a minuet, c'mon. What about all the fun we just had? That wasn't the tooth fairy, that was me!"

Jamie hesitated and looked back, but Jack had flown ahead of them. With a confused expression, Jamie started home again.

"What does a guy have to do to get a little attention," Jamie jerked his head towards him, "around... here?"

The last word was said uncertainly when Jack noticed Jamie was clearly looking directly at him, even timid, like the moment would shatter at an increased voice.

Jamie stared up at the white haired boy that was twice his size with a face that rapidly changed from surprise to awe. His friends stopped with him and took glances at Jacks general direction, although not at Jack himself. Not that he noticed, at the time.

"Jack Frost."

It was said just loud enough for Jack to hear, but not for him to confidently say that Jamie said it.

"Did you just...?" Jack crouched forwards before stepping back slightly when Jamie continued to stare at him. While Jamie looked at him, he gained a giddy smile. Jack released some 'special' snowflakes subconsciously, which struck the other kids around Jamie.

"Jack Frost."

Louder, this time. Full of awe, enough awe for some of the others to start believing, enough to let them see.

Monty stepped back slightly, letting out a quiet 'Whoa' while Cupcake blinked a few times at the teenager suddenly standing before them.

Jack started grinning, mischief and relief dancing in his eyes as he started at Jamie, before alternating between Monty then Cupcake, and then Pippa when he herd her inhale sharply, before landing on the twins when they exclaimed.

"No way!"

"Incredible!"

And before Jack new it, he was surrounded by kids who could see him, maybe touch him.

He didn't want to hope, it hurt to hope. But he dared, because who would Jack be if he didn't?

Spinning slightly, enough to see behind him, Jack stuttered, "B-but, that's my name." Spinning back to the kids, who didn't seem to catch his stutter, Jack calmed down a bit. Stepping forwards slightly, Jack squinted at Jamie, before stating in a slightly incredulous tone "You said my name!"

Pippa and Caleb chortled slightly while Jamie nodded.

"Wait, y-y-you can hear me?"

Another nod, Jamie's eyes never wavering.

"C-can you see me?"

Everyone nodded. Even if Monty did it minutely, he did.

Jack let a smile slip onto his face, a smile full of joy. Suddenly, he laughed, throwing his head back and let out a laugh that made everyone's smiles brighter, promising more games and laughter before the days end. Jamie subconsciously tucked his tooth away as Jack let his gaze come back to the children in front of him, just catching the tooth being tucked away.

If possible, Jack's smile widened, with a promise of games to play and fun to have. The kids were suddenly restless, as they realized they had another hour before the dark started to settle and they had to return home.

"Unbelievable." Jack whispered, tears beginning to form in his eyes, but the smile remained. The children didn't notice, they're day just raised to the best any of them could remember.

Jack flipped backwards, eliciting gasps from the kids at the fluidly in which he did it, throwing a conjured snowball directly up, as hard as he could before landing.

Finishing the flip, Jack let the wind pick him up and dart him around the kids, making them gape at him at the proof that he wasn't normal and was, indeed, Jack Frost.

As Jack placed his feet back onto solid ground, the snowball fell right on top of Claude's head. He quickly shook his head and, ignoring the laughter from the other's, bent down to grab a snowball before quickly chucking it at Jack.

Jack saw this coming, having aimed for the twin in the first place, and dodged easily. Flicking his staff, he sent another snowball at the other twin.

Jack couldn't help himself, a perfect opportunity "You missed."

He took off, back to the playground, leaving the kids with the image of a smirking teen.

With a war cry, the children grabbed snowballs and charged after him.

Jamie recounted the days adventures to Sophie, who was bouncing with excitement on top of his bed.

"And it was AWESOME! Then I was flying down this hill, and it was like, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. And then the sled, the sled it... this thing it was WAY up in the air, and then Bang!"

"Whow!"

"The sofa hit me... and, and see!" Jamie showed Sophie the gap in his teeth, "My tooth came out."

Sophie giggled, reaching forwards to try and touch the gap in Jamie's mouth. Instead, Hanna interrupted.

"Alright Jamie, tooth under your pillow?"

Jamie put the flashlight back on top of the little table next to his bed, where he got it from earlier in his tale to his little sister, before responding.

"Yea, I'm ready."

"Now, don't try to stay up to see her, Jamie. She won't come."

Jamie looked indignant.

"But I can do it this time!" Jamie turned to his sister, "You want to help me Soph? We can hide and see the Tooth Fairy!"

Sophie started jumping again, "Hide, hide, hide, hide, hide!"

Hanna interrupted, "Nuh uh. Straight to bed."

"OH, and Soph!" Jamie exclaimed. Suddenly exited. "You'll never guess what!"

Hanna stepped back from going to collect Sophie from the bed, another minuet wouldn't hurt... much. While Sophie turned her attention back to her brother.

"I saw Jack Frost, he's real. And amazing. He can fly, and, and he can't get hit by snowballs! No-one could hit him!"

Hanna shook her head, how had a little ingenuity of a expression turn into a imaginary friend.

Sophie gasped, before something caught her eye. Turning her head, she saw frosted ferns spiraling away from an upside down face, which was making hilarious faces.

Sophie burst into laughter, causing Jamie to look at the window, where he burst into laughter.

"Jack!"

With that exclamation, Hanna turned to the window, catching a hazy figure leaping out of sight.

Turning her attention back to the task at hand. Hanna plucked her rolling daughter from the floor that Sophie landed on, and turned to Jamie.

"Good night, honey."

Jack flipped himself back upright, then settled himself on top the roof of the house.

Casting a quick glance at the moon, he turned away. Instead, walking towards the edge of the roof facing away from the moon, so he could see the peacefulness of a silent town.

Getting restless, no doubt from the excitement of the day... and to just be seen, Jack hopped off the roof, idly noting to try to give Hanna a gift of, something.

Landing on a power line, he idly flicked his staff onto the other line, spreading frost across the surface.

Glancing up at the night sky, ignoring the moon for once, he noticed the Sandman's golden dream sand winding down from the sky and entering children's homes.

Shaking his head, Jack noticed a stream going right before him, just at knee height.

Turning around and lifting his head to the direction that the dream sand appeared to be coming from, Jack smiled.

"Right on time, Sandman."

So, that turned out better than I thought it would.

Thought I'd stop it there, sort of a cliff hanger, sort of not.

Those of you that have seen the film,

{practically everyone then}

(Shush)

Jack will react differently to things, his mindset has changed, and I will try to show this.

So, look out for the differences, both Jacks actions and everyone else's reactions.

It'll become apparent, later.

Ta ta for now.

:-D
