"It's your fault that they died! If you weren't stubborn enough, if you paid heed to the meaning of my nightmares, then they wouldn't have sunk to the depths of the sea! I don't want to let you in anymore, and I don't want to see you anymore. I can conceal and contain it on my own! So just go!"

: You Came Back :

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there was the beautiful kingdom of Arendelle, and it was ruled by a beautiful queen of snow. The Queen Elsa was fair and beautiful, and she was famous throughout the land. All her people were always happy and contented, and the kingdom grew and prospered. Every day was a fun snow day, that one day, Jack Frost came to hang out.

It was a long time ago, when Jack last visited with invitation. She practically screamed at him, rejecting him, and after that day, stopped seeing him, literally. Of course, he would still check in during winter, but he never came near the castle. It wasn't because he was mad at her, oh no, Jack was never mad. But Jack couldn't accept the fact that someone with such a gift would hide, when he longed for the world to be able to see him. 'Why did she insist to be alone? And everything was not my fault.' But he felt bad for making her feel that way, so he kept his distance.

"We have to thank Queen Elsa for this snow day!" the children at the square laughed, dodging each other's snowballs. They laughed harder after Jack blew a bit of his magic on their snowballs.

"Elsa…" Jack sat on a roof, musing at the name. He didn't mind talking to himself after, well, a hundred years of talking to himself. "So, she turned out alright," Jack smiled.

"You know the queen?!" a weenie voice said.

Jack nodded and replied, "Oh yeah, I did," before realizing that someone was talking to him. He turned and saw nothing, except a funny made snowman. Jack shrugged his shoulders and patted the snow man. "Hey there buddy. How did you get up here? Did you walk?" Jack laughed at his own joke. "As if snow men could walk!" Though at the back of his head, he wished they could.

"Hi, I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!" the snow man exclaimed. Jack gave a shout and slipped from the roof. "What the-" Jack began, scratching his head, watching as the snow man named Olaf awkwardly jumped down in front of him, dividing himself into three during the process. Olaf stopped moving.

Jack raised an eyebrow. "If snow men could talk and walk…" He summoned his own snowman. It didn't move. "Cheeky. I guess I'm turning crazy," Jack laughed at himself for trying, but then he heard the weenie voice again. "Aren't you so cute, you little snowman! I'm going to adopt you, oh yes?"

Jack turned and blinked. "So, the snow man does talk," Jack sat in front of Olaf. He poked the snowman and started to mutter words of wonder. "How does this work?"

"Hey that's rude!" Olaf pouted. "Poking snowmen isn't nice! Hugging is nicer!" Olaf opened his stick arms and hugged Jack.

"You can see me?" The smile on Jack's face was big and obvious. He felt warm inside, despite the fact that he was hugging a snow man "Of course I can! I'm Olaf, and I like our warm hug! And you are?"

"I'm Jack. Jack Frost…"

Jack and Olaf spent the next five hours playing with the village kids. On occasions, Jack would use his magic to create ice and snowballs. "You have the same power as the queen!" Olaf exclaimed afterwards. He and Jack were now lying on the snow, gazing at the moon. Jack sighed.

"Nah, hers is better."

Jack's image blurred for a bit when a strawberry blonde girl walked over him.

"Anna!" Olaf exclaimed. He didn't realize what happened.

"Olaf! Where have you been? Elsa's 23rd birthday party is about to start! Have you seen her?"

"Anna! Anna! I'd like you to meet my new friend, Jack Frost!" Olaf gestured to Jack, who grinned and said, "Long time no see, if you can see me, that is."

"Of course she can see you, right Anna?" Olaf gaped at Anna's confused expression. "Jack who and where, Olaf?"

"…" Olaf stared at Jack, poked him, and whispered loudly, "Are you real? Am I going crazy?!"

"No, you aren't," Jack winked. Olaf hugged Jack.

"Um, Olaf, hate to interrupt you and your imaginary friend, but Elsa?"

"Oh, right! Er, Anna, I'll meet you back in the castle!" Olaf waved goodbye to Anna.

"Bye! Nice seeing you again, Anna!" Jack waved.

Olaf stared dumbly at Jack. "Why can't Anna see you?"

"Well, Anna never believed in me. She never saw me whenever I was around."

"How about the Queen Elsa? You said you knew her."

Jack laughed his head off. "Elsa always wanted me to be real, enough to imagine me even before I came to hang out with her… Of course, that was before she screamed at me and said that she didn't want to have fun anymore…"

Suddenly, everything was defrosting all around them. Jack retreated behind the shade of a tree. In a good few seconds, all that was made of snow, except Olaf, was gone.

"Now that's thawing," a silhouette emerged from the fountains.

"Elsa!" Olaf ran to the snow queen. "Anna and I have been looking all over for you!"

"Really?" Elsa grinned.

"Oh, Elsa, I want you to meet my new friend!" Olaf pulled Elsa towards the tree. Jack, jumped up and crouched on one of the high branches.

"What friend, Olaf?" Elsa was laughing now.

Jack stared at Elsa. 'So it's true. Elsa opened the gates… I wonder if she'll see me. Wow, she's grown pretty...' Jack silently cursed himself with the last comment.

Olaf circled the tree. "Where did you go? Aw, come on, I want you to meet Elsa!"

"She's not going to see me Olaf," Jack muttered to himself.

Elsa circled the tree. "Your friend is a tree, Olaf?"

"No, aw, come on, you're making me look crazy here Jack!" Olaf exclaimed.

Elsa stopped at her tracks, and her giggle subsided. "Jack? Jack Frost?" She looked up, exactly the way she did when she first saw him, on a tree, a long snow day ago.

"Uh, yeah, why? What' the deal with him and being seen?"

"You can see him? Where is he? I… I…" Elsa regained her composure.

"Told you she won't see me," Jack stated blatantly, frowning at the moon.

Elsa looked offended, unknown to Jack.

"Elsa, there you are! Olaf, you found her!" Anna's voice was far, as she ran to the town square. "You can defrost the town later, your party is about to start!"

Elsa stepped back, before standing firm and said in a dignified voice, "Anna, return to the castle with Olaf. I'll be there in a minute."

"Are you sure? Okay then… Come on Olaf." Ann took Olaf's wooden hand as he shouted, "See you later, Jack! Come back, okay!"

They were gone when Elsa took a deep breath and said, "Jack… Please come down. You know that I can see you."

Jack sighed, smirked, and waved a puff of snow. Elsa giggled as Jack's snow showered her face. He jumped down a good five meters from Elsa.

"Hi. Long time no see," Jack waved awkwardly at Elsa.

Elsa smiled a warm smile, with an undeniable happiness in her eyes.

"I thought you were never coming back… Jack Frost." she dropped her regal attitude and rushed to hug Jack.

"Gee, two hugs in a day." Jack hugged Elsa awkwardly.

"I missed you… I'm sorry…"

"You've grown tall."

"Is that all you're going to say?"

"… Nice dress."

Elsa pulled away. "You were always awkward around people who can see you," she brushed a finger at Jack's face, before withdrawing.

He wasn't great at reading expressions, but he could have sworn that she was blushing. Jack scratched his head. "This is awkward Elsa, I mean… You're not mad anymore?"

But Elsa cut her off with a kiss at his cheek. "I've let it go."

A/N: A breather story for me, but no… I'm starting to get crazy ideas. Yep, this is going to be a long story indeed. Characters who may appear further in the story are Pitch, the Guardians, and Jack Skellington.

Up next: Jack attends Elsa's birthday Party, which is gate crashed by a fight between Pitch and Jack Skellington.
