When Fate Plots and Portals Glitches

Pondering Impossibility's

Claude's eyes widen "not even us kids?!"

Jack answered by straightening his back and sweeping his shepherd's staff effortlessly through them like thin air. Cupcake's eyes widen "whoa."

Jack nodded as he leaned back on his staff "'whoa' indeed."

For a while the group silently mulled over these new bits of information. Caleb looked back up at Jack "so, what now?"

Jack felt his mouth dry. He honestly had no idea on what he should do next. He never even heard of such stories of teens like Danny. Should he confront him? Does Jack need to do something? Should he even to do anything at all, and just ignore the event all together? What does a spirit do when a sixteen year old looking kid can see him, when it's impossible?

Or, it was impossible.

Pippa was the one that finally broke the silence "I think a great start would be to tell him your name, Jack"

"Wait, I didn't tell Danny my name?"

Cupcake shook her head "Nope. You kinda spent the whole time gawking at him like a fish out of water."

Monty re-adjusted his glasses "well, to be fair, so did we." he shrugged "but, you more so then us. So, no offence, but yeah. A fish out of water. That was you."

Jack opened his mouth to say something then closed it "ok, points to you." He looked around and rubbed the back of his neck nervously "so... when do you think I should do it?"

Claude shrugged "there's no time like the present man."

. . .

When Jack came back, he realized that Danny hadn't moved a inch since their meeting occurred. Danny lay there, with his eyes wide and short gasping breaths. He didn't notice how his clothes had snow sweeping in.

Now not being in shock or denial, Jack finally had a good look at Danny. His hair was as dark as the night sky and his eyes were a strange, almost unnatural, and beautiful combination of neon green and a sky blue that seemed to glow like newly born stars.

A branch snapped.

Danny blinked.

Finally, he seemed to be pulled back to reality as he finally seemed to realize his surroundings. Danny looked down and scowled "aw crap, my clothes got snow in them."

Jack shrugged as he sat next to him "Yeah, about that, my bad."

Danny's eyes narrowed at Jack's voice. Before Jack could blink Danny had in one swift movement grabbed him, knocked him down into the snow and pinned his arms behind Jack's back. Snow flying as from Danny's speed and strength as he did so.

Jack's eyes widen as he tried to process what had just happened and began to struggle without any luck of escaping.

What in the moon's name was going on?!

But before Jack could open his mouth to protest, scream, or use his staff that was currently being used to help pin him down. He felt the pressure suddenly lessen as his wrists were then free. Without the support, Jack fell face-first into the snow. Or, he was about to before Danny caught him and gently set him down.

"I'm- I'm sorry!" Danny ran his hand through his hair as he tried to look at anything but Jack "I don't know what happened!"

But Jack tuned out Danny's rant, for all he did was stare. Now that Jack was much closer to Danny, he could see faint freckles spiraled across his nose and cheeks. However, Jack pushed this new discovery to the corners of his mind as he got up "how does someone accidentally, professionally, pin someone to the ground?" Jack had his usual good-humor smirk as he said this.

For a moment, Danny seemed to of been struck speechless before he slumped his shoulders. " I honestly have no idea how."

Jack snorted. "Well, to be fair. I was pathetically easy to capture."

Danny nodded "True."

Jack faked a gasp as he put his hand over where his heart was supposed to be. "you wound me Danny. I might never be the same because of this."

Danny shrugged "Meh, you'll get over it."

After a long pause, Jack crossed his arms "rude."

Danny then blinked in realization and glared at Jack suspiciously, taking a cautious step back. "... how did you know my name?"

Before Jack could open his mouth, they both turned to a familiar voice.

"Sorry Danny!" Jamie took deep breaths "That was my fault. I told Jack your name." Soon the other kids began to show up behind Jamie as they were gasping for air.

Jack swallowed a gasp as Danny then eyed Jack with his ever-glowing twin star eyes. "Your name is Jack?"

Jack beamed "yup. I'm Jack Frost."

Danny stared at Jack blankly, a smile slowly evolving on his face "... pfft Seriously?! Your name is Jack Frost? That's like calling me Danny skin-bag."

Jack raised a brow, doing his best to ignore the children's giggles "Uh, no, it isn't."

Danny gave Jack a charismatic lopsided grin that made Jack's pulse hiccup "Why not?"

Jack rolled his eyes "because I'm not actually made out of Frost. That's the difference."

At that Danny let out a full blown, lung-busting laugh "alright Jack Frost" he then held out his hand "I'm Danny Fenton."
