Fire and Ice

Return of a Friend

This chapter is a bit short but others are going to be longer, Enjoy!

Marco and Ambrosia were sitting on the couch watching a movie. They had been dating for nearly a year now. They had both liked each other and if one had asked the other out they would have started dating earlier. But their relationship started in a time of sadness. Hard times had brought them closer and they went from there. Those hard times had been someone leaving then just a month later people close to Marco dying. Star Butterfly had been the one to leave. It was just a silly argument where things had been said but she overreacted big time and left. The person to die had been Raphael, Marcos dad. He had died a hero. They had been driving home from a movie when they saw a house on fire. There had been a party going on there and some of their friends had attended it. Nineteen people were trapped inside and Marcos dad had saved all but three, he had saved two groups then went in for the last three. He never came out again. The three people he failed to save were some of the only friends Marco had. Jackie, Ferguson and Alfonzo. Marco was broken, his dad was dead and Ambrosia was the only friend he had left. It was coming up to the anniversary of their deaths and they were just relaxing a bit. It was just a normal day and the couple were cuddling on the couch. Well they were until they heard a large explosion from outside. They ran out of the front door and saw a dimensional portal in the air above Marcos lawn.

"What the hell!?!?" Marco said. "That damn armour was supposed to block dimensional travel!"

"Wait a minute Marco. Could that be a universal portal?"

"Impossible. They said it isn't possible, we've been told that countless times." Before Ambrosia could say anything there was a flash of light and something flew out of the portal and smashed into the ground. When the dust cleared they saw a face they thought they'd never see again in a million years. Jack Frost.

"Hi there fullas! I'm somebody!" he said before collapsing to the ground.

"Um, what!?!?" Ambrosia said. They ran to his side and tried to wake him up but he stayed down.

"Let's take him into the couch." They picked him up and carried him through the door and onto the couch. "Now what the hell was that?"

"I don't know but we should call Star and tell her that he's back. She's probably miserable with Tom. She only agreed to marry him to prove to herself someone would love her."

"No. We are not calling Star."

"Look Marco, I don't know what happened in that call that made you smash her mirror but you need to get over it. The love of her life is here and she deserves to know."

"She'll probably beat him up again and he is in no condition to have the shit beat out of him!"

"We'll make sure she won't then but you need to get over what she said in that call.'

"WELL I CAN'T!!! DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT SHE SAID TO ME!?!?!?"

"YES!!"

"WELL FINE!! SHE CALLED AND SAID THAT I DON'T DESERVE ANY OF THE FRIENDS OR FAMILY THAT I HAD!!! SHE SAID THAT WHEN MOST OF MY FRIENDS HAD DIED AS WELL AS MY DAD!!! HOW DO YOU THINK THAT MADE ME FEEL!?!?!?"

"Is that really what she said?"

"YES!!!" Marco burst into tears and fell onto his knees. "We I needed comfort and love she gave me hate like I was the reason her life fell apart. Apparently she sees me as the reason all the bad stuff in her life happened when she made it happen." Ambrosia pulled him into an embrace.

"You should have told me. I could have helped."

"I just didn't want to drag you into our argument."

"It would have been fine Marco. You mean the world to me and I would do anything for you."

"Thanks Ambrosia."

"Now we need to deal with Jack." They turned to see he was now sitting up on the couch watching them. They leapt apart.

"Why didn't you say you were awake Jack?"

"Who's Jack?" he said.
