Authors Note: Hey everyone so this is my new fan fiction because I didn't enjoy writing the other but I've decided to start this one and stick to my own way of writing. The last chapter didn't show the way I normally write a story so this time round. I'm being myself! I want to thank my best friend for helping me with some ideas of the story because I never would've managed to start it without you!
Summary: Jack Frost, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and Merida Dunbroch are best friends. And they are Guardians. Hiccup and Merida have been dating for almost three years now. But one day, the three friends were walking through a forest and they are enlightened by the singing of a young girl. Her name, is Rapunzel and one day, Jack goes back to the forest...

Too Sassy For You ~ Chapter One
The lingering light was obliterated by the rapidly falling night. The once salmon and purple sky transformed into a vast expanse of jet-black that engulfed the town. A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness. Some were dull, merely flickering into existence every now and then, but there was an adequate amount of shimmering stars to illuminate the dark. The lake glistened, mirroring the dazzling assemblage of glittering stars and the luminescence from the tiny water creatures that scurried along the riverbed. The faint wind brushed against the water's surface, the ripples ruffled the stillness of the surface, and shattered the reflection of the stars.
The place was silvered and transformed by the light of the moon, which, at the full, hung like a great luminous pearl on the radiant breast of heaven. The moon, swinging low in the heavens, cast long, deep shadows far down the trail. Moonlight shone on the water like a pale band of silver, the reflection, distorted by the calm ripples of the water.
I was overwhelmed by the scent of the earth, the damp leaves and bark mixed with the crisp cool breeze. I couldn't see much, it was more of a blur of dark green and black with the odd bit of light peaking through the darkness that enveloped the trees. I could hear occasional hoot from the owl in the distance and the gentle crackle of leaves in the trees every time the wind passed. But the loudest sound I could hear was the repetitive rustle of leaves under our feet. I would've normally let the wind carry me but that wouldn't be fair of Hic and Mer now would it?
My white, messy hair was illuminated with a silver glow as the moonlight shone down on it. My pale skin glistened by the sparkle of the water that rippled next to us. I resisted the urge to create a layer of glistening and lace like frost across the stream. I frowned at the leaves crunching below my feet; it was so hard not to sprinkle just a little of snow onto them. The trees that swayed with the wind in a rhythmic way created shadows that danced on the long grass below.
Temptation doubled over inside me and I couldn't resist the urge any longer. I sprung up into the air and flew myself towards the lake beside me. I turned back to see two shocked faces. "I'm sorry guys but I gotta do this or I might actually go crazy". I shrugged and shot them a smirk before twirling back in the wind and gliding across the water.
I heard the faint laughs from the other two behind me as they waited by the river for me to finish. I twirled around gracefully across the newly frozen lake. It shimmered and twinkled in the moons rays. I closed my ears and took in a deep breath as I inhaled the smell of the wintry scenery.
Once my outburst of fun had capsized, I elegantly drifted back to my two friends. My heart pumped as adrenaline rushed through me. I always had this feeling after spreading my beautiful creations across the world. I'd been doing it what? 318 years? And it never, ever became normal or old. I always had it, and it would never leave. I let out a chuckle nervously as the bare skin of my feet slowly came into contact with the woodland floor and turned my attention back to the other two that were present.
Merida Dunbroch. She was a feisty but warm hearted Scottish girl. She was very athletic and had good health, her skill was with her bow and arrow. She was the best shot, never missed her target. The girl had blazing ginger hair that had no end of tiny curls that joined together to make her hair more wild than a lion's mane. She wore a dark navy dress that came down to her ankles and it was decorated with golden ribbon across the sleeves and various other places. Underneath her dress, she wore brown knee-length boots. Her eyes were a light aqua and she had small pink tinted lips.
My other best friend was Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, he was only petite. He wasn't the... 'Manly' type. But he was caring and had a massive heart. He was brainy and always came up with a solution to any issue. He was insecure about himself due to his family issues he used to have when he was mortal, before he came a Guardian. He had shaggy brown hair with forest green eyes. He wore an olive green t-shirt and a brown fur coat. On his legs, he wore brown trousers and brown, furred boots. Now, he had a special advantage to his Guardian self. His companion; Toothless. Toothless wasn't any old normal companion like a dog or a cat. He was a dragon! Toothless was a Night Fury dragon with thick black reptilian skin and massive green eyes. He had retracting teeth which were incredible and that's where his name originates from.
"Did ye enjoy dat lil outburst there?", Merida spoke up, her thick Scottish accent showing as she begun to carrying on walking forwards which Hiccup soon followed on leaving my no choice but to go with them.
I laughed and nodded enthusiastically. "You bet ya I did". I said and swung my brown, frost covered staff onto my shoulders before hovering next to the pair.
"Alright Frosty, no need to show off with yar fancy levitation'". She replied instantly and glared at me.
You see, me and Merida were never that friendly, we hated each other but at the same time, we loved each other and I'd never let anyone hurt her. She was my best friend. Merida was a fighter and she hated to be wrong. Whereas I was a fighter as well, however I was more about fun, so our personalities tended to clash a lot which poor ole Hiccup had to deal with. He was always the one that broke us apart from having each others throats. But then again, it was usually Merida who backed down before me with Hiccup's orders. Now, that was because they were a couple. From the first day Hiccup set eyes on the girl, I knew he liked her but no matter how much persuasion I had, he never plucked the courage to ask her out. Turns out after about six months of her becoming a Guardian, I found it that Merida liked Hiccup as well. So me being Jack Frost, I had to get them together and in the end I persuaded Merida to ask Hiccup out and when she did I could've swore Hiccup nearly choked on his dinner and then fainted straight after. Now that was one funny day!
I laughed again and shot her a smirk of mischief, "Oh can it you red-headed bush".
I watched her carefully as her eyes clouded over darkly as she shot me daggers. "At least I'm not... I'm not.. a shrimp!". She flustered.
Hiccup and I, both burst out laughing and I clutched my sides in support, "Did ya just call me a shrimp?". I said between gasps for air.
I heard her let out a frustrated growl before she stormed off in front of us. I calmed down and glanced at Hiccup. "She called me a shrimp". I whispered with a grin plastered across my lips.
Hiccup giggled at me before motioning forwards with his head. "Yeah she did, but I think we best go find her". He said before turning and running after the Scottish girl. Reluctantly I followed after him, Hiccup could be so over protective sometimes but it only made me smile. He loved her so much it was un-believable. It made my heart ache in all honesty, even them two had someone they could protect and love. I didn't and I guess it only made my 318 years on loneliness even more heart breaking...
I caught up with Hiccup in no more than five seconds and I stopped abruptly as I was silenced by Merida who glared at me for a second him before she pointed with her finger towards the scene in front of us. I looked up and listened.
"Tomorrow night,
The lights will appear,
Just like they do on my birthday each year,
What is it like,
Out there where they glow,
Now that I'm older,
Mother might just let me go..."
I was captivated by the voice who sang into the darkness. In front of us, in a large clearing was a incredibly tall tower. I could sense that the singer was a girl and she was alone. I could easily tell when people were due to my own past and experience. By the sounds of it, it was the girl's birthday tomorrow and she wanted to go and see something.
I stepped forwards but I was pushed back, "What are you doing?", Merida whispered angrily.
I frowned, "Going to see who it is?", I said in a 'matter-of-fact' tone of voice, slightly annoyed at her.
"I don't think so! North expects us back by midnight and it's already eight so we have to go". She replied angrily but quietly.
Hiccup hesitated, "Mer's right. We need to go". He said causing me to sigh in defeat.
"Fine!". I said, throwing my hands up in defence as we all turned around to head back in the direction we came from. But I hung back a little and before disappearing back behind the vines, I glanced back at the tower.
"I'll come back. I promise..." I whispered my promise into the dark night before leaving...
That's it for the first chapter guys! I hope you all enjoyed that and please leave a review and let me know if you like my style of writing because I am much more comfortable writing this way than in my other fan fiction that I wrote, (I don't think I'll be carrying it on).
