“Oh Jesus jump-fucking Christ, what is this? The fucking Antarctic? Am I gonna start seeing Polar Bears? Dancing Penguins?”
Dave wasn’t too far off actually. It was no the Antarctic and there weren’t any Polar Bears or dancing Penguins, as ironic as that would have been. There a few frogs here and there. Oh yeah, Jade’s planet was the Land of Frost and Frogs. Well now didn’t he feel silly. He’d have to remember to keep that bit to himself while regaling Rose about this later. If he got to talk to her again anyway. There was bad juju surrounding her lately, and he didn’t like the feeling it gave him. He shook his head. Right now he had to locate Jade and help her with this frog thing. Sucking up the cold he marched his way forward in the snow.

So he trudged on, snow crunching under his shoes. They’d be soaked within minutes. Too bad, it was a damn awesome pair of shoes too. He would have to look into alchemizing himself a new pair later, maybe some water proof ones. What did you even fucking need to make water proof shoes?
It was a little over fifteen minutes before he spotted Jade in the distance. She waved an enthusiastic arm when she saw him. He only lifted an arm in return, but he felt a bit of a smile pull at his lips, just a bit. It dropped as she got closer however because Jade was not wearing three sweaters, four coats, and six scarves. She was wearing some sort of strapless, backless, shimmering evening gown. He should have had the breath knocked out of him by the sight of her beauty or some dumb cliche bullshit like that. Instead all he could think of was how batshit crazy she must be. Completely coocoo for cocoa puffs. She didn’t even look as if she had goosebumps. He was at a total loss for all the wrong reasons.
“Hi Dave! Oh God, I can’t believe we’re finally meeting. I always knew it was going to hapen, but it is still so exciting! You’re just as cool as I always knew you’d be. This is going to be so much fun! … Are you going to say something?”
“There something fucking wrong with you?”
“Um... noooo. Why do you ask?”
“Are you not frozen right now? Like iceberg level frozen? If I were the Titanic right now I’d be fucked. Sinking right to the bottom of the freezing fucking ocean.”
It’s not an answer of even concern she gives him, it’s amusement in the form of an extremely girlish giggle. “Are you cold Dave?”
“Cold? Me? Nah. No reason for me to be cold, only chilling in the Land of Frost and Frogs. Why would you think I’m cold? Perfectly fucking peachy here.”
“You did just shudder...” Now she looked a little worried.
“Your imagination. What I’m concerned with is how are you not cold?”
“I think maybe it’s because it’s my planet. I’m sort of immune to it’s weather or something like that. I mean you’re not cooking all the time in LOHAC are are you?” She had a pont.
So did he, “Yeah, but I’m from Texas.”
“Yeah okay, wait! This isn’t important! We need to breed frogs. Kanaya said this process is supposed to take a long time, but we don’t have a long time!”
“That’s where I come in, all heroic like, saving the day. Knight of Time steps up to the plate. You need time, I’ve got all of it. And I’ve just been sitting on my ass, twiddling my thumbs this whole time just waiting to give it all to you.”
“Hee! You’re so sweet Dave Strider, giving me all your time. Let’s go!”
Jade reached out and grabbed his hand. He’d wanted to tell her that it wasn’t sweet, it was ironic, but stayed quiet instead. He let her lead him off. Yeah, he’d give her all the time she needed, that at least he could do for her. He would make sure she had all the time. He was the motherfucking Master of Time, and with that came certain responsibilities and knowledge. His time was almost up, but she would have all of it she needed.
