Summary: After the death of Rapunzel Corona, 3 of the remaining childhood friends in the group, the"Big Four Brigade" drift apart. 5 years later, Jackson Overland, a past member of the group is met face to face with the ghost of a 17 year old Rapunzel one winter with a simple request: for her dream to come true in order to pass on. Unable to remember the said dream, Jack now has to gather the long lost members of the Big Four Brigade and hopefully, get that dream to become a reality.

Usually guys liked it when a girl stayed the night. But Jack wasn't that type of guy or at least in this particular situation. Not when it was the girl that is no correction- was your best friend. Or at least the ghost anyways. He didn't know when or how she came but one winter day she simply had just popped in. The long locks of blonde hair and green eyes that regarded everything so curiously were all too familiar for the youth. Her choice in clothes made him want to cringe due to their certain significance, but he tried his best to dismiss the notion.

He had heard of this situation before from his not-so-favorite visits to his councilor, Esmerelda. According to her, some people took to grieving in a way where they imagine things that weren't really there. Silly, he knows it sounds. However, despite her constant lectures on his actions, she was right sometimes. Sometimes.

After the death of his sister just 2 years ago, he wasn't sure what to think. Or even how. Memories haunted his dreams and hit him like trains. Sometimes, he even thought he heard her voice in the empty halls of their house. To think after suffering and even earlier lost he'd still be affected like this. Depressing fact he knew, but it was a whatever sort of thing. He was fine, or at least fine enough to be doing things again. Anyways, the only way to beat the hallucination, was to naturally wait it out. As the stupid saying goes, "Time Heals all Wounds." But after a couple weeks his patience grew just a tad thin.

Barefoot feet glided through wood flooring, the said hallucination carrying a freshly baked batch of cookies. ( Yes. somehow the thing could manipulate objects in the house, AND his cooking supplies) The smell wafted around the house and even reached the boy emersed with the TV on the couch.

The girl carefully made her way to the living room, and at an attempt to be sneaky, placed it on the glass coffee table infront of him. Satisfied with her job, the girl then sat on the other end of the couch, head resting on her head on propped up hands with an expecting look. Jack glanced at the cookies for a second and sucked in a breath. She isn't real. She isn't real. But they do look good.

Finally, after a good couple of commercial breaks, the girl finally retreated to his library across the hall (Which to Jack wasn't a surprise really, considering she and Hic- he means, another person where sort of book worms). He could literally hear the girl milling through the selection of books set out. In his mind, he imagined her expressions as she shifted from disinterest or interest in each book. Until suddenly he heard a large crash come from the very room. This defiantly got Jack up and rushing to the study.

"Rapunzel!" he yelled, the reality of the situation becoming heavier with every letter. He looked around franticly at the fallen pile of books, only to see nothing there.

"HA! I knew you could see me!" bellowed a voice from behind him, pointing an accusing frying pan at his chest (where'd she get that?) Rapunzel crossed her arms in triumph and gave him a knowing smile. "At first I was really hesitant about it but now I know for sure."

If she was a vengeful spirit back from the grave, she sure was doing quite the sucky job at it. Jack let out a laugh and put his hands up in mock surrender. "Okay, Okay you caught me Punz. Now what did I do to earn the pleasure of having you over?" he said casually.

The girl froze a bit, then laughed a bit nervously, twirling a strand of gold hair between her fingers. "That's the thing Jack. I-I'm not too sure. I guess just to see you and the others again." she answered at first softly, then in realization picked up in a more excited tone . "Speaking of the others I have so many questions! How is high school? Is there any good books I should hear about? Do you have a girlfriend yet? Does hiccup have one yet? Or is he with Merida? How is the Brigade at all?"

Jack's smile seemed to fade with every question into a hard grimace. By the end he had the horrid taste of metal within his mouth. Of course she wouldn't know.. Her voice once again interrupted his thoughts. "Oh! And how is Emma? Is she back in school again?" Innocent as the question was, it suddenly shook Jack. Memories he had so long fought to hold back seemed to rise. He hadn't even realize he had began to breathe harder. "STOP RAPUNZEL. Just for a second." he shouted sharply. The blonde jumped in surprise. Although Jack didn't mean it, he knew Emma was still a touchy subject for him.

He slowly made his was into one of the library's chairs and burried his face in his hands. For a moment, silence suspended over the two before Jack piped up again.

"I didn't mean to scare you Punzie. I mean," Jack laughed bitterly to himself. "I-I'm just talking to air aren't I? Emma's gone…And you're..you're…"

Rapunzel walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. To him, it was way too real to be any sort of hallucination. "I know Jack, I'm dead…It's been a long 5 years hasn't it?" she said with a sad smile.

A small 8 year old fiery red head popped up against the window sill, blue eyes darting right to left in search for any life within the small ivy covered house. "Hey Punz!" she yelled into the sealed glass "Open up it's getting cold out here and Hic isn't exactly the strongest lamb in the heard!"

Hiccup, consequently the one giving her the lift, huffed in retortion. "Your not quite the hulk either now Mer-" He said bluntly, earning him a wacking from the said girl. "Ouch! Who's carrying you now?"

The window suddenly rose open reveling a certain white headed boy with a mischevous grin. " You guys do know the secret door in the back is open right?" At that moment, Hiccup gave way to Merdia and collapsed to the fresh snow. She was the first to stand up. "You told us it was locked from 'er mum!" she yelled to Jack, holding up a snow ball mencingly. Hiccup lifted his head from where he lied. "Uh guys..? M-man down?" he shouted into the conversation, grunting a bit from pain.

Merida spun around and shot him an apologetic look, then turned back to Jack. "aye swear! Overland when aye get over there with hiccup-" she grumbled to the now laughing boy.

"you'll what? Kill me?" he said back between chuckles. With his left hand he gave a quick push to the window, causing it shut closed. A younger Rapunzel, looked from Jack to the window with a soft smile from inside the window's room. "Did you have to shut the window? You know the movie nights cause she's not in the best mood. We need to cheer her up!"

Jack shrugged. "Her being mad is better than sad don't you think? And besides we have things to prepare! So...dreamworks or disney?"

A little after the small breakdown thing, Jack finally recomposed himself. He took a quick hot shower and walked into his living room, drying his hair with a white towel. "Hey blondie I really think-" Jack stopped in mid sentence at the scene before him. At this point, if she really was a hallucination, he didn't really care if he went to a mental hospital. There stood his best friend in the middle of the construction of a giant pillow fort. "Surprise," she said with a little enthusiasm, caught in the middle of putting the finishing touches on it.

Jack supressed a laugh and walked over to inspect it. "Hm. A little lopsided here, but otherwise pretty good Punz," he chided playfully. Rapunzel grinned and put her hands on her hips. "I learned from the best Mr. Guardian of fun. And besides since you where down I just thought I'd do something..sorry if its a bit..childish?" she said slowly on the last part.

"Childish? I may be 17 but having fun is something I'm always down for." Jack found himself collapsing on the mass of pillows. "So what's it going to be? Comedy? Action? Dreamworks?"

Rapunzel plopped beside him and fished out a remote. "Disney!" she stated happily. Jack shot her a look of mock hurt. "Seriously Punz? Disney?" he questioned as if it was unheard of to choose.

"What? It's the classics!"

The two finally decided on alternating between the two companies as the night went on. However Rapunzel didn't make it too far into the night, as she fell asleep by the 4th movie. Not that Jack really minded. Her presence made him feel better all the more.

Ever since the death of his sister and maybe to even after the Big Four broke up, Jack had always seemed to feel empty. Even hanging with Toothania and Sandy felt weird. Heck. He hasn't even gone to school for the longest time (don't worry he made sure to stay on top of assignments). For once though, it was nice having company. He honestly didn't realize how much he missed her. Perhaps, like everyone else he kinda buried her memory down where no one can touch it.

Soon enough he too, felt himself drifting to sleep. As he sunk into a dream, flashes of familiar memories passed him by. The face of a worried boy from viking lineage. The frozen look of shock on a certain red head. The sirens. The ambulances. The lifeless body of the same girl who stood asleep next to him.

Jack woke up in cold sweat. He glanced over to his side to see in relief, she was still there. Why was she here anyways? She knew she was dead and its been 5 years. Why hasn't she passed on yet?
