*~~~~Prologue~~~~*

Little Stevie Johnson was one of the few true believers of Jack Frost, the Winter Spirit of Fun. Stevie's grandfather use to tell him tales of how Jack Frost would nip the noses of all girls and boys who would venture out into the snow. Although, most people deemed him to be nothing more than a silly old Codger telling tall tells. Stevie was so not so sure; enticed by his grandfather's stories he would often stay up late just to watch the snow fall. Slowly but surely doubt started to ebb its way into his mind, but that all changed when little Jamie Bennet showed up at their school one morning. He was boasting loudly about how he and his friends spent the night battling the Boogieman alongside Jack Frost, Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, Sandman, and the Tooth Fairy. Stevie listened to Jamie even after most kids laughed and turned away from the silly boy. Jamie saw Stevie leaning practically off his chair with excitement as he told his story. After spending an entire month of passing notes and chatting about the frozen trickster Jamie told Stevie to meet up with him afterschool at the park. He thought it was about time to introduce Stevie to Jack and Jack to someone else who believed in him. Thought this meeting was going to bring about a new friend ship, it would also start a chain of events that no one would see coming.

Chapter 1: An Unexpected Meeting

Jack sat upon a branch high above the frozen lake in Burgess waiting eagerly for the afternoon to come. It has been almost a month since he has helped the Guardians defeat Pitch (more like they helped him hee-hee) and he found it high time to get back into the routine of things. Normally, he would have caused a snow day and spent the whole afternoon with the kids he cherished so much. Running into Jamie early that morning had him changing his tune however. Jamie told him that if he held off on the snow day till tomorrow they could have an extended weekend and with it more time to hang out with him. The thought of spending an entire weekend and not just a single day with the kids made him chuckle loudly.

A small twig snapped in the distance and Jack sprung to his feet instantly. Fighting Pitch may have saved the children in the world but it made the Spirit slightly jumpy, which he figured would eventually fade with time.

Floating down from his seat Jack moved cautiously towards the direction of the noise his staff raised high and his senses working on overdrive. Just as he was preparing to jump through the brush a loud crack echoed throughout the woods. Spinning quicker than lighting Jack faced towards the lake from which the sound originated. Shock plastered its self to his pale white face as he took in the sight before him. One short pudgy pale skinned black haired boy not much older than 10 was standing on the lakes edge staring straight at Jack. He held in his hands a foot long stick that had shattered upon the ice form the obvious contact that he had just made with it. Behind him stood Jacks favorite little boy Jamie, a look of pure horror upon his face at what the younger boy had just done.

The Frosty Spirits emotions went through a torrent of emotions in the span of just a few seconds. At first Jack was frightened that someone had fallen into the lake; which no that he thought of it was impossible because he made sure that this particular lake would never melt. Then he was angry that someone was trying to break the lakes icy surface and it was a child none the less, but knowing the mischief side of children that emotions blew away as the next took its place. Jake was very concerned and feeling protective of Jamie. That boy was never to look afraid around when he was around, and for whatever reason the boy that stood in front of him has made him show an emotion that he didn't care to see.

"What on Earth are you DOING?!" Jack Shouted abruptly.

"Ohmygoshheactuallyspoketomej amiedidyouherethat?!" the boy squealed.

Jamie taking this moment to regain his composure looked at Jack as he floated over to them, his staff gripped tightly in his right hand.

"Jack I am soooooooooooooo sorry! I didn't know he was going to do that to your lake. When he saw you standing there he just kind of wigged out!" Jamie squeaked.

Upon a closer look of the boy Jack could tell that the little jokester was practically bubbling with excitement. All the tension that Jack had unknowingly built up seeped to just dissipate in that moment. "Kids" he huffed/chuckled brushing his white hair from his eyes.

"I can't believe it! Jack Frost…You're The Jack Frost!"

Upon hearing his now 'favorite sentence' Jack stood up tall and beamed at the young boy, "You can see me kid?" he asked.

"Of Course I can see you, I would be crazy if I didn't see my favorite character of all time!" the boy.

"What's your name kiddo?" Jack asked kneeling down to the Childs level.

"Stevie!" The boy practically belched out, Jamie just shook his head and Jack smiled his signature smile.

"Say Stevie how would you like to have a snow ball fight?" Jack questioned as he scooped up a hand full of snow with his free hand.

Jamie and Stevie exchanged glances to one another before turning on their heels and running as fast as they could for cover. Jack smirked deviously as he floated high into the tress looking down at his un-expecting victims.

"Where did he go?" Stevie whispered to Jamie as they scooped up large handfuls of snow.

"I don't know but keep your head UP if you know what I mean."Jamie giggle

Catching the other boys que they both shifted their body weight back and flung the snow as hard as they could above them. What should have resulted in a rather humors impact on the Winter Spirit ended up resulting in a rather beautiful display of gravity. The snow came right back down into their own faces which caused Jack to fall out of the tree he was hiding in laughing. He couldn't have planned that better himself even if he had tried.

Both boys stood dumbfounded in the snow, as they heard the echoing laughter of the mischievous Spirit. What seemed like a good idea to them turned out to be a really bad idea, for not only did they not even come close to hitting Jack Frost, they ended up frosting themselves in the process.

The three of them placed in the forest late into the evening, but as the sun began to set Jack sent the two children back to their homes knowing that school was going to be canceled and they would meet up again tomorrow.

Jack Frost may have not been expecting to meet another believer today but he was sure that the boy was going to be one of his biggest believers.
