Jack Frost~

Frost watched in slight amusement as Jack gently bounced the small snowballing in his arms, cooing at it. A real, fatherly smile on his face.

"Come on Jack, don't you think it's time to go see about a residence?" Frost asked.

"Wha? Oh, yeah." He nodded. "Need a place to stay don't we? Why not see if, one of the locals will take us in? Maybe that white one..." He tapped an iced finger against his chin in thought.

"That was awe-"

Jack snapped towards Rainbow Dash, shushing her. His shush sounded more of a hiss, but she remained quiet.

"What do you want?" Jack asked. "My kid's trying to sleep here."

She looked down and saw the small snowballing snoring. She got a confused look on her face, switching from the snowballing to him.

"Aren't you a guy?" She asked.

"I threw him up. End of story. Now," he slid a little closer. "What do you want?"

"Uh... To congratulate you." She tapped her fore-hooves together.

"Well, now that you've congratulated us, would you mind helping us find a place to stay?"

"You'll have to talk with Mayor Mare." She said. "Just go to the big round building in the middle of town."

"Mayor... Mare?" Jack said. "Are you screwing with me?"

"No. That's what everypony calls her. She is the mayor and she's a mare."

He raised a twig eyebrow.

"It's more of an inside joke with the town." She rolled her eyes. "I'll take you to her."

Jack smiled, numerous thoughts of ways to kill that one mare, the many jokes he could make. But then, he frowned, knowing he could only kill her once.

Jack slid through the snow, cradling his son while Frost ran to keep up.

A large building, three stories high rose up from a stone foundation. a few pillars surrounded the entrance, a large set of oak doors in the front. Four banner hung from the sides. One red with gold trimming and a sun in the middle. The second was a deep blue with silver trimmings and a moon in the middle.

"Looks about the same as any other mayor's office I've seen. And I've only seen one... Atleast I think it was an office?" Jack pondered. "Me and Wings here will just go in. You, I don't care what you do. Just don't involve us." He waved her off while he slid up the steps, leaving a trail of ice behind him. Frost ruffled his feathers slightly before going up.

Jack opened the door and a chilled breeze went through the room.

It had yellow paint fading on the walls, wooden beams supporting the walls and ceiling. A cream colored mare sitting behind a desk tried to catch a stack of papers from flying away, but her wings prevented the required mobility. Defeated, she sat back up and picked up a pair of reading glasses, looking up from a board she had, her eyes widened at the sight of Jack.

He tapped a icy finger on the desk, leaning down he exhaled a small gust of frozen air from slits next to his carrot nose; making her shiver as his fave cracked again from another smile. His eyes looking like glowing emeralds in the black sockets.

"Me and my associate are here to speak with the mayor." He said.

"S-Sorry... She's on break." The mare said, shaking from fear and the cold.

He gave a snort, making another blast of arctic cold air hit her.

"Alright," he pinched the the ice between his eyes. "Is she in atleast?"

"Y-yes. H-her office is right over there." The mare pointed to the right.

"Jack, stop before you give her a heart attack." Frost said. "We can come back later."

"Here, hold junior." Jack said, handing the now awoken snowballing over. "I'll be right back."

"S-Sir! You can't..."

Jack swerved around to meet the mare in a second, she blinked before her brain caught up. She jumped back into her seat to look up at Jack.

He raised his iced hands in a grabbing motion, the crack reforming. He shut his eyes before jumping forward, his hands at his head as he blew a small wave of air onto her, yelling. His bottom jaw hanging lower than it should.

Her eyes rolled back in her head and her body went limp. Her muzzle slammed on the desk before she fell to the floor.

"Junior," Jack said getting his son's attention. "Don't eat anyone while I'm gone. Especially Frost. Now, daddy's going to go talk with a nice lady to get us a home. You be good and make sure to hack a mess of spit on the interns papers."

He melted down, carrying his carrot nose, coal buttons and scarf, he washed under the door and gathered himself in a thick puddle.

He re-froze and now stood in a warmed office. A brown mare with a greying mane in a bun, sitting at a desk. Holding a quill in mid-stroke. She looked up and fixed her collar.

"I told Cherry Top, no visitors." Mayor Mare said. "Is there something I can do for you?"

"Yeah, me, my son and my friend would like to get a place here in..." He stopped, thinking. "What's this place called again?"

"Ponyville."

"Right, anyway, I killed a dragon from trashing the place. And now, I'm thinking of settling down with my bud and son. Anywhere available?"

"Yes actually," she took a paper off from a stack and slid it to him. "A new residence was built a few days ago. You must first fill out the citizenship forms and then you may sign for the house. Now, after you fill that out, you may come back and have Pinkie Pie show you to it."

Jack rolled the paper up and exited the office. And frowned when he saw Frost gripping one of his talons, a trickle of blood dripping onto the floor.

"Frost, where's Junior?" jack asked, his anger rising.

"Your son, is a biter it seems." He winced, gripping tighter on his other talon. "With very long teeth."

Jack face-palmed.

"Junior! Come to daddy!" He yelled.

He was jumped from behind and stuck his hand through his chest, he gripped his son and pulled him through to the other side.

"Dada!" He exclaimed happily. "Hungry."

"I know you are, but I told you not to bite Frost." He furrowed his twigbrows. "He may look like he tastes like chicken, but I wouldn't know. Oh and Frost, the mayor gave us this." He tossed the griffon the paper.

He caught it in his good talon, wiping the blood away on his lion hide.

"Alright, where's a quill?" He asked.

Jack leaned down and whispered something to Junior, he got excited and pounced on Frost.

"Jack! Get him off! Ow! That hurt!" Frost rubbed his neck where Junior had pulled a feather out.

"Good job," Jack patted his son on the head. "Come here-"

"Ow... My muzzle." Groaned Cherry Top.

"Iron Wing!" Jack corrected himself. "Come here so I can fill this thing out."

Frost begrudgingly limped over, Jack took his arm and dabbed the feather tip in the griffons own blood.

He put down his name and let Frost go next. After the griffon had mumbled a few choice words, Junior scribbled his name on before spitting on the mares stack of papers.

Jack took the paper and washed back under the door, in a second, he came back and got Junior.

"Come on Iron, we've got some sort of welcoming committee." Jack groaned. "Hopefully without hairdryers."

Frost nodded and limped out the door.

They both were greeted by Pinkie Pie and her welcome wagon.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome! A fine welcome to you! Welcome, welcome, welcome! Frosty and Wingy, how do you do!?

Both Jack and Frost frowned, Junior made a gagging sound.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome! Oh, wipe that frown away! Welcome, welcome, welcome to your new life to-day!" She finished cheerily.

She pulled a cord on the contraption and the cannons blew out confetti while trumpets blared. With a few clicking noises, the front opened up and Jack had enough time to throw Junior out of the way before getting sent into the stone steps by a barrage of little metal balls.

The stone cracked under the hit, he shattered and fell around as a few stray balls were sent into the stone.

"Oh no!" she gasped. "That was supposed to shoot confetti! I killed him!" She cried.

A yell tore through the wind as the snow started to swirl around from the street. Ponies and cart were toppled over by the frozen water being drawn towards the front of the town hall.

A arm pushed through the snow in a shower of snow. Another one followed before pulling up a head.

Jack rose from the ground, his own form growing slightly as more snow was added. His chest thickened out to the width of an oak trunk. His arms thicken too, growing spikes on the middles of the sleeves. His fingers lengthened out, sharpening to thin points. Hid head also grew in size, black icicles pointing backward.

His legs were gone, only a snakelike bottom was seen, circling on the cobblestone. He gave another yell and four, thin, arachnid like arms sprouting out from his back.

He opened his eyes, slowly leaning down to meet Pinkie Pie's eyes, arctic mist trailing down from his maw, covering the ground around them.

"Never. Do that. Again." He hissed.

"Okey dokey lokey!" She said. "Now, when you put the snow back, I can take you to your house."

He gave a snort before spreading the snow and ice back across the streets. He once again stood next to Frost, taking Junior, he glared in mild interest at the pink mare.

"Well, lead the way." Jack said.

"Lead the way?" She pouted. "I just said I would take you to the house, not give directions."

She pulled out a toilet handle from her mane, walked over to a pillar and attached it. She pulled open a door hidden on it before taking Jack, Frost and Junior inside. She stepped out, shut the door and flushed.

Jack and Frost gave each other worried looks before they fell down into a tube.

"Holy shit!" Jack yelled, his eyes wide. "She's fucking insane!"

"Where are we!?" Frost yelled back.

The tunnel was filled with flashing light's, multitudes of dulls and greys swept by in second. A sudden blackness appeared ahead.

"Frost! What the hell is that ahead!?" Jack yelled in slight panic.

"It a wall! She sent us into a wall!" He yelled. "She's going to kill us!"

"Hang on! This is going to hurt!" Jack yelled, covering Junior.

They smashed through the wall, bricks went everywhere. Frost slid across the floor, hitting his head on the wall ahead. Jack and Junior smacked into the wall right above Frost, making flat snowy splatters.

Frost got up and rubbed his head before leaning back against the wall.

Jack and Junior slid down the wall, making one big slush puddle. they reformed, Jack's eyes were spinning in their sockets. Junior hiccuped before giving a small belch. Jack stuck his fingers in his eyes stopping them.

"Fuck... It." Jack said, his voice even more distorted from the dizziness. "Were killing her tonight. She's too explosive and loud."

"And dangerous, lets not forget she can pull almost anything from her mane. Can I get a bit of ice for my head...?" Frost asked.

"Sure," Jack said, throwing Frost a ice block. He looked over at the hole int he wall. "Hey look, we broke the fourth wall." He chuckled.

"How do you know it was the fourth?" Frost asked, standing now.

"It was a joke, I didn't expect you to get. I'll explain after I tuck Junior in."

After a silent pause, Frost spoke up.

"So, what happened to you anyway?"

"What? You mean how I was beat?" Jack said. "Want the long story or short one?"

"Short."

"Well, I was caught by a small back water town sheriff. Sam something. Forgot his last name. Anyway, he found me out, arrested me, I broke out from my transport, turned into a snowman and went to his town, had some fun and we had a wrestling match in the back of a pick-up truck full of anti-freeze. I almost won. What about you? Whats your short story?" Jack asked in actual interest.

"Me? I was stopped by a guard, one of those crystal ponies. Glimmer Shield was his name. He caught me, red taloned, literally, locked me up, had me on trial and then while I was being taken to be executed, you show up."

"Huh," Jack said. "Looks like we both have a sad story, sorry about the arrest."

"Don't worry, after were done here. Maybe we can go there. It is a frozen tundra, you should fit in perfectly."

After a silent pause, Frost spoke up again.

"We really going after Pinkie Pie?"

"The hell we won't." Jack retorted. He raised a fist, leaning it towards Frost.

Frost gave a smile before fist bumping the snowman.

And not a second after for Junior to bit his good talon.

"Junior god dammit!" Jack yelled. "I'll go out tonight and get something! Stop trying to eat Frost!"
