Chapter 2: Towards the beach.
It have now been four years since Jack visited Rapunzel for the first time, and it had become a habit, that Jack would visit Rapunzel doing the night.
But today was different, today was the first day of Jack's summer vacation, and he had promised Rapunzel to come at soon as he was finished with school... but he was late.
"Where are you Jack?" A now eleven year old Rapunzel said and looked out her window, she had let her hair grow so it went down to her hip and it was in a ponytail, she had a purple knee long skirt on and a pink T-shirt.
She was exited since Jack said he had a surprise for her, but she then turned as it felt like there was someone behind her, but there was there no one.
Then, a little green lizard came out from her hair, and crawled down her arm so it could look at her," oh, hey Pascal" she said as she saw the small chameleon crawl down her arm.
"So, what do you wanna do until Jack gets here?" She asked and looked at the chameleon with a smile, but he just looked unamused at her, "oh come on, he isn't that bad" she told him, but he still looked unamused.
"Come on Pascal, it's going to be fun when he gets here!" She said exited but the chameleon jut rolled its eyes "hmm, he might be hungry when he gets here," she said to herself since Pascal wouldn't be of much help.
"Maybe I should make him something?" She then walked over to her bed, and began removing the madras from her bed and found a small book titled 'happy moments with Jack'.
She went past the first 10 pages and found a list "let's see," she looked through some pages that looked like recipes, when she reached the last page.
She had a look of joy as she looked at it, "this sure bring back memories" she said and walked over to her bed and found a frying pan from under the bed, "he's going to love these" she then walked towards the door and out of her room.
One hour later, Rapunzel returned with two plates of pancakes, a jug of lemonade with two glass and her frying pan.
She placed the frying pan close to her closet, then she placed the plates on her table, she then began to look at her memory book, after some minutes she found an not so old picture of her in a one piece bathing suit.
"I wonder if it still fit?" She said out loud and walked over to her window.
Rapunzel then bent down and removed one of the planks to find a small bag, after she took it she moved over to a closet that had a full body mirror and began to change into what was in the bag.
When she had finished changing, was she wearing a pink one piece swimsuit, with ducklings around her hip as a belt and a flower growing up on her stomach, her back is exposed except for a cross that hold it together.
She turned around a few times and enjoyed the gift she had used a few months to make Jack get her, she then laughed remembering how red he was in the face when he gave it to her.
She then decided to change back to her cloths, "you know, it does suit you" someone said behind her as she had gotten it down to her shoulders, she turned to see Jack in the windowsill smiling.
She just stood there and looked at him, then her face became red as a tomato, she grabbed the closest thing and threw it at him while she screamed.
Jack didn't have time to react and got Rapunzel's frying pan in the face and fell down, luckily for him, Gothel hadn't removed the bushes he landed in four years ago.
After Rapunzel had changed back to her cloths and had helped Jack inside, was she giving him a hard look.
"Haven't I told you to warn me when you get here?" She said but Jack seemed like he didn't care, "Jack are you listening?" She asked and looked at him.
Again, Jack didn't react, she then took a glass of lemonade and threw the contents on his head.
Jack then shake his head like a dog, and looked towards her, "sorry punzie" he said with the nickname he gave her and stood up, "I was just thinking that, maybe it wasn't such a good idea, for me to come over doing the day".
When Jack looked at Rapunzel, he saw her smiled the same way he did when he was about to do something wrong.
"Why are you smiling like that?" She then sat beside him and pulled some her hair behind her head, "well, the thing is... my mom won't be home the next two weeks!" She said the last part with a high pitched voice. Which hurt Jacks ears.
"What did you say?" He said playfully and Rapunzel gave him a light jab on his shoulder and they laughed a little, "that sound wonderful Punzie, then you can come with me, Merrida and Hiccup to the beach in three days".
The smile Rapunzel had a moment ago, began to vanish, "I don't know Jack..." she said and turned away from him, "I would be braking moms trust if I did go outside".
Jack didn't like the sound of it, he then jumped from the window and looked at her, while moving ovet to a chair, "come on, Punzie," he said in a childish way, which Rapunzel always found funny, "haven't you ever wondered on how it is out there?".
Rapunzel turned a little, she did wonder sometimes, on how it was outside the house, "but, mom say that I will get hurt if I ever leave the house".
"Come on, punzie" Jack said with his hands hanging in front of him as he was sitting on a chair, "think about it, blue sky, blue sea, the smell of the ocean," Jack continued to tell Rapunzel of the different things she would be able to see at the beach.
Rapunzel listened closely, as she always did when Jack told her about things from the outside, "and we will even be in time for the lantern festival," Jack finished, which got Rapunzel even more interested.
"There will be a lantern show?" She asked and got a new light in her eyes, "yeah, every year, they let go of hundreds of freshly made lanterns," Jack said and saw that she had become interested, "there is even a lantern contest,".
"And the ones that make the best lantern, get to send it up first" Jack could see the excitement in Rapunzel's eyes, she was so excited that she could hardly sit still, a feeling he was all too well familiar with.
Rapunzel then ran over to a drawer and found a note book, when she opened it, could Jack see a lot of different drawings, she then got to a blank page and got a pencil ready, "please Jack, tell me how it looks like".
Jack then knew he had her, "well punzie, you know I'm not so good with that kind of stuff" he said and saw her face beginning to lose its light. "But if you came with me, Merrida and Hiccup, you could get to see so many new things, and I'm sure you would need a new note book".
Rapunzel was not sure what she should do, on one hand: she would really like to go with Jack and his friends, but on the other, she didn't wanna brake her mums trust.
Rapunzel then let go of her breath, "Jack" she said and he turned hopefully at her.
"I'm sorry, but I just can't" then he fell down shocked, "but why?" He asked as he got up again, "I can't just brake my mom's trust" she then turned away from him.
"'Come on Punzie, pretty pleeeeeeeeeease" he said and didn't stop saying please.
Rapunzel then moved her hands to her ears to keep the sound of Jack out, but he just moved closer and increased the sound of his vice.
Rapunzel did all she could but he was slowly getting to her, "pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!" Jack was now only inches from Rapunzels ears.
"Jack! I said no!" She yelled at him and Jack stopped, Jack then looked at her, and got a mischievous smile, "I didn't wanna do this Rapunzel, but you give me no choice,".
Rapunzel took a few steps back, she knew that when Jack used her full name, then it could mean troubles, "Jack please, not that" she said but Jack didn't listen, he then jumped towards her and begane to... tickle her?.
"HA HA HA HA! PLEASE JACK, HA HA HA! STOP! HA HA HA" She said between laughs, but Jack didn't stop, "I will only stop if you promise to go with us to the beach!" He then increased the tickling.
"YOU WIN! HA HA HA! I'LL GO WITH! HA H HA! JUST STOP!" Jack then stopped and Rapunzel tried to catch her breath.
"So Punzie, need help packing?" He asked and had already taken her bathing suit out of hiding, "well, what do I need?" She then walked over to her closet and picked out a few summer dresses.
"Well, let's see" he said and they used the next two hours to find cloths she would need, when they were done, moved Jack over to her window, "I'll come by tomorrow with a rope. That way, we can get you and your stuff out more easily" then, Jack jumped over to the tree and climbed down.
Rapunzel then waved goodbye to Jack and saw him walk away, "I'm really gonna leave tomorrow," she said to herself, she then began to fantasize about her and Jack on the beach.
Jack was on his way to Hiccup to hear who was gonna take them to the beach.
Jack stopped as he reached the finer parts of his neighborhood, he then moved close to the hedge of one of the houses and sneaked by it.
The house was gray and was three storey's high with a big porch, two black great Danes was running in the garden, Jack was hoping they wouldn't catch his scent.
As Jack was nearing the garden gate, his heart began to beat faster, if the dogs caught his scent, then he would be a dead man.
Jack then took the chance.
He moved by the gate fast and stopped to catch his breath, he then felt a tremble in the ground, when he looked around he saw the dogs was going to dog pile him.
"AAAAAHHHH!" He screamed as he tried to get away, but he was too slow, the first dog landed on him so they made a cross on the sidewalk, then the next dog landed so both dogs made a cross on top of Jack.
The two dogs was wagging their tails as they looked at Jack, who seemed to be in pain.
"Shaggy! Scooby! What are you doing!" A female voice with a Scottish accent, Jack recognized the voice and tried to hide under the dogs.
The voice belonged to an 11 year old girl with wet curly red hair and a green t-shirt and shorts, she also had a bow over her shoulder and she was in the middel of placing a quiver on her back with some arrows inside of it. She also had a arrow in her right hand. The arrow in her hand had some kind of bag on it.
The two dogs turned their heads towards her and was wagging their tails even harder, "is that a boy you two are lying on?" She asked and looked at Jack's feet.
"Get into the house, now" then the dogs stood up and walked back inside, "I'm sorry, they really like other..." she said untill she reconized Jack.
"Hey Merrida," Jack said and saw that his childhood friend was slowly getting as red in the face as her hair is, "you not still angry about earlier, are you?".
"Jaaaack" she said very angry as she placed the arrow on the bow, "well nice to see you, but I got to go, bye" Jack then began running faster then he have ever done before.
As he was running, Jack saw one of Merrida's arrows fly by him, "THE NEXT ONE WON'T MISS!" She yelled at him, and he felt someyhing hit him hard in the back.
"I'm sorry, ok?!" He said while dodging as man arrows he could, Merrida then shot an arrow towards his legs and made him do a triple roll down the street.
When he looked behind him, he saw Merrida preparing a new arrow.
The arrow ended up hitting him in the face, "now we even!" She said and walked back home, "see you in three days!" He said as he got up again.
Jack decided to sit down a little to get over his attack from Merrida, "that's the last time I let a paint bucket fall on top of her," he said and felt at his shoulder.
Jack then heard the sound of a bike being pulled by the walkway and the sound of someone talking in a phone, "yes dad, I'm on my way to Gobber now," Jack turned his head and saw his best friend Hiccup.
"Hey Hics!" Jack sid as he was sitting on the ground, but Hiccup just passed him, Jack couldn't understand what seemed to be so important that he didn't have time to say hello.
He then began to sneak up behind Hiccup, who was busy talking on the phone, "I know dad, I just don't get why I have to tell him, he is your best frie-AAAHHH!" He screamed as Jack made him fall on the ground.
Hiccup then looked up and saw the smiling face of his best friend, and really began to questioned their friendship, "I'll have to call you back later dad," he then hung up and got off the ground.
"Was that really necessary Jack?" He said as he dusted himself off and Jack was laughing, when he was done dusting himself off, he couldn't help but join Jack.
"Yeah, but what was so important? your dad never send you out to tell Gobber anything important?".
Hiccup then got an annoyed look on his face, "it's about the beach trip," Jack only had a confused look, "what about it?", Hiccup waited a little to collect himself, "it have been canceled".
