'Oh, no. I'll be away from him again.' You set your head downcast because of your thought. You don't want to be away from Jack again, do you?

"But, Jack... if I got there, will you leave me?" You asked him.

He turned paralyzed, and you know he can barely answer that hard question. "(Name), I... It's hard for me, too, okay? But I have to. I have a duty for the children around the world, and you have a responsibility for your brother."

"I understand." You mumbled.

"Hey, cheer up, (name). I'm gonna see you every Winter season." He said, perking you up. But you can tell that he's breaking inside.

You smiled a little on what he said as you kept yourself cozy in his hoodie. "Thanks, Jack."

"For what?"

"For not giving up on me. For trying to save me. For being here for me. For treating me like a princess. For making me feel home. For everything." You reasoned, which made him smile.

"you're welcome." He wrapped you in his arms, which made you feel more comfortable.

It's very ironic, since he's the coldest creature in the whole world, but he makes you warm and cozy. "I love you, (name)."

"I love you, too, Jack Frost." You responded, smiling genuinely.

He let go of you and stood up to grab a white shirt for him to wear before you two leave the room.

He took your hand as you two left his room.

Just when you two came down the main room, you suddenly saw a familiar figure. That's when you realized the short hair.

Yeah. It's Penelope. And she's talking to the other guardians.

"What's she doing here?" You heard Jack mumbled. You just stared at her (Penelope) with a sad look.

You two went down for her and the others to see you two. Mostly you.

"Inferno... J-Jack..." Penelope stuttered on her statement, seeing you two. "I'm really sorry. At first, I really want dad to be proud of me, but I realized that... the things that he does... are bringing harm to you... Now I want to change. I don't want to be dad's slave anymore. I wanna be... a guardian..."

"Penelope..." you muttered as she came up to you.

"Inferno, oh... uh... sorry. I don't know your real name, so I wanted to call you Inferno. I'm sorry for being careless. I guess I just got too jealous about you and Jack. But I promise... I won't be a wet blanket again." She apologized genuinely.

You smiled and hugged her. "It's alright, Penelope. I understand your situation. But if you want to be good, then you should be prepared that the dark power in you to be removed. And you'll be the next Inferno Flame. And... it's (name)." She hugged you back.

She let go of you and turned to Jack. He looked down on her sadly. "Jack, I... I don't know where to begin. I'm sincerely sorry for everything I've done. I should've told you about my relationship on Pitch, which is my dad. But now, that he's gone, I finally decided that I should be the next Inferno Flame. I'm just torned on picking a side, whether it is good or bad." He looked away a bit, and Penelope smiled sadly. "Jack... I understand if you can't forgive me. I just wanted to apologize and explain, since I haven't explained a thing before. And I'll respect you and (name) relationship together."

"Penelope, I forgive you. But I'm sorry if I can't forget those things you've done. Hope you understand." Jack stated. Hearing that made you smile, same as Penelope.
