Episode 1: More Than Just A Crush
Ch 2: Awkward, but Sealed
"What kept you so busy?" Anna asked.
Everyone had arrived, including Merida and Sam. They were Elsa's friends and were older by two years, like Elsa. Merida had messy, curly red hair and it looked like it was always burning. It was strange how Elsa and her were friends, giving that they were exact opposites. The last thing on Merida's mind was being lady like, but her and Elsa tend to share the same view on several things and maybe that's why they got along.
Sam was a petite girl who mainly wore her hair in a ponytail, tied back with a scrunchy and had large square glasses. In other words, like a typical nerd. But on special occasions she did have contacts and wore her hair out and it gave her a cute and perky look. No one would suspect she was a nerd.
"Don't worry about it." He looked over at Elsa and she glanced at him for a moment before turning away.
"Okay. If everything's good, let's go." Rapunzel said excitedly and getting up all jumpy and was bouncing on the spot. A trait they recognised when she was over excited.
Elsa pushed back her chair and got up. "Ok here's how it goes." Elsa started. "Half of you with go with me in my car and the others go with Sam.
The five youngsters began forming a group. "Oh no." Elsa pulled them apart and it wasn't ironic at all that she pulled Jack and Anna away. "Girls with me and boys go with Sam and Meri."
The kids moaned. "You can just forget about it then."
"Fine." Anna got up and headed to the door. Elsa could be really stuck up sometimes.
The drive wasn't long and the minute they parked and stopped, the five younger teens of the group got out and rejoiced.
"Remember. We meet back at the entrance, 7:30 on the dot." Elsa reminded.
"You mean we get to sleep over?" Jack joked, acting all excited and jumpy. Everyone, but Elsa laughed.
"PM."
"Take a joke, captain." Jack told her and playfully bowed in front of Anna. "Ladies first." Anna giggled and walked in, being followed by him.
Their three friends smirked as they exchanged glances. It was so obvious. The pier had a carnival set up and it was usually a popular hang out during weekends and holidays. Basically the "end of school" hang out.
Jack and Anna had disappeared far into the crowds of the pier. Mavis, Rapunzel and Hiccup agreed to leave them alone and give them a chance to figure out their feelings. They had been planning to set them up for months now and what better way to do it than at a carnival?
"Do you think they'll finally go out?" Rapunzel asked.
The three of them were sitting at a table with hotdogs and fries that they ordered.
"If they don't seal it off tonight, I'm going to send them to the honeymoon suite and lock them in at the hotel." Mavis said. Her father was owner of Hotel Lubode. It was the best hotel in their district. A five star rating.
"That's one way to go." Hiccup added. "I'm going to go get us drinks. What do you guys want?" He asked.
"Give me a raspberry fanta." Mavis said.
"Ooh! I'll have a sprite." Rapunzel said ecstatically.
"Okay." Hiccup noted their orders and went over to the kiosk. He was ready to order when he saw the girl at the counter. It was his crush, Astrid Hofferson.
"Can I take your order?" She asked, barely noticing him.
"Ah...h...I." His voice went squeaky. Being around her made him nervous.
Rapunzel and Mavis could see him struggling. "Looks like its time to save the day." Mavis got out of her seat and went to back up Hiccup.
"We'll take a raspberry, sprite and coke." She ordered.
"Okay. That'll be six." Mavis paid up and took their drinks on a tray. She then pulled Hiccup by his collar and dragged him back to the table.
"Now I know what our next project is." Rapunzel smirked and Mavis gave one back, agreeing.
Hiccup's eyes shifted to both of them and then he slouched, making himself smaller, realising what they meant. "Oh no."
The game beeped, signaling "winner".
"Congratulations!" The clerk said. "Now choose any of the prizes."
Jack looked at each of them and chose the large snowman plush. He saw Anna had been eyeing it out earlier and that was the whole point he wanted to play the game. It was all for her.
"Here you go." He handed her the snowman.
Her blue eyes widened and she smiled at him. "Really?"
"Hey, I know you wanted it." He smiled. "So here."
Anna gave him a small smile, as she hugged the snowman. "Thank you, Jack." Without thinking she gave him a kiss on the cheek. It was only until she pulled back when she realized what she did. Her cheeks turned a dark red and she quickly hid behind the head of the snowman. "Ahh thanks." She quickly said again.
Even Jack was blushing and he was glad that she was hiding so she couldn't see it. "It was nothing." He shrugged. "We should probably find the others now."
"Yeah." Anna nodded and followed him. She didn't know why she did that. Kiss him on the cheek. But lately she had been wanting to do it.
"Hey guys." They greeted as they found the trio exiting The Swirler. It was a fast pace, spinning ride that usually left your stomach in knots.
"Hi!" Mavis who looked less sick, actually she didn't look sick at all. The girl had a strong stomach and it would take a lot to get her to feel the motion sickness all of them felt when they went on such rides. "I see you two have been busy." She motioned to the giant snowman Anna was carrying. It was about half her size.
"Just played a few games and went on some of the rides." Jack said.
"You didn't happen to win a bucket, did you?" Hiccup looked close to barfing. He was the one with the weakest stomach. The skinny boy looked greener than the skivvy he was wearing.
"Don't barf on my boots!" Anna warned and stepped back a few paces to avoid any sort of vomit from her friend.
"What did you guys get up to?" Jack asked.
"Same as you." Rapunzel answered, placing her hand on her head to keep it from spinning. She did look better than Hiccup though. "But we did catch some Hiccstrid." She said, suddenly feeling better and making lovey eyes.
Jack turned around to face Hiccup and grinned. "You mean he finally asked Hofferson out?"
"No." Mavis shook her head. "More like I had to step in and order for him because he just froze. He barely got a word out to her."
"Dude. You really need to buck up and ask her already." Jack gave a strong pat to Hiccup on the back.
He managed to swallow up whatever was trying to come out and feel a little better. "You're one to talk." That earned him a confused look from Jack. Completely oblivious.
"We have time for one more ride." Anna said.
"Ooh I know what ride." Rapunzel grinned and forced the group to follow her. She stopped once they were at the Ferris wheel.
"We can't all fit in that." Jack turned to her.
"We don't need to." Rapunzel said. "We will divide into two and three. I'm with Mavy and Hic." She quickly said and linked arms with the two.
"Have they been acting weird to you?" Anna asked as they headed to the line.
"Yup." Jack agreed. "It's like they know something we don't."
"I wonder what?"
Within minutes they were seated and the ride began to go around. At night, the view was amazing. The lights reflecting against the water and the moon and stars shining in the sky. It really was beautiful and seeing them reflect in Anna's sky blue eyes were mesmerizing to the boy.
They were heading to the top now on their last spin, when suddenly the ride stopped.
"Just having difficulties! We'll have it fixed in a moment!" The ride engineer said.
"Guess we're stuck here for a while." Anna leaned back and started slowly swinging their seat.
The seat below held their three friends and they silently screamed "Yes!" The two lovebirds were at the top and the view was perfect. They had to seal it off here.
"Might as well take in the view." Jack said. The two hadn't realized they were being watched from below.
"Can you see them?" Punz asked.
"No." Mavis answered. "I can't see anything from down here, but it looks like they're getting to first base."
"They gotta do something." Hiccup said.
"You know?" Jack looked up at Anna as she began to talk. "This is nice. The light breeze, the stars, being with my best friend." Anna continued.
"And I know what can make it better." Jack said and pulled out a red package from his pocket.
"Kit kat!" Anna grinned.
Jack opened the wrapping and broke it in half and gave one piece to Anna. They both took a bite and in seconds it was gone.
Jack laughed lightly. "What's so funny?" Anna asked confused.
"You have a little bit of chocolate on your face." He said.
"I do?" She panicked and wiped her face. "Where?" She asked alarmed.
"Right here." Jack leaned and then kissed her on the lip. At first Anna was surprised and wide eyed, that her body tensed. But as she got in deeper, she let her eyes droop and herself relax. They pulled back.
"Got it." Jack said awkwardly.
"I think you missed a spot." Anna said and then pulled him back for another kiss. It really felt amazing. Until now, she wasn't sure how he felt about her and now she knew that the feelings she kept bottled up were the same as his.
"They totally sealed it." Mavis said as she could tell they were definitely kissing it up up there.
"I knew they would be by the end of the day." Rapunzel cheered. "That means you owe me twenty, Hiccup," she held out her hand in front of the boy.
Hiccup groaned and gave her the last twenty he had. "You got lucky." He mumbled.
"Not my fault you bet they wouldn't end up together by tonight."
"You were betting on this?" Mavis blinked.
"Hey. When you need the cash you do anything." Rapunzel crossed her eyebrows and smirked.
The ride then began to move again and Anna and Jack pulled back. Both blushing. Once they got off, their friends were waiting for them all grinning.
"You totally sealed the deal!" Mavis said ecstatically.
Anna and Jack blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Sealed what?" Jack asked.
"Don't play dumb. 'You have a little bit of chocolate on your face.'" Rapunzel deepened her voice to sound like him.
"You heard that?" Anna asked sheepishly.
"Every word." Hiccup nodded.
The two then gritted their teeth and let their awkward habits come out. For Anna it was playing with one of her braids and twisting her foot around and for Jack, he would scratch the back of his head.
"Don't be shy." Mavis came behind them and pushed them closer to each other. "We so knew you were going to give in one day.
Jack and Anna smiled. "So that's why you've been so weird." Anna laughed.
"Whoever said we were being weird?" Mavis giggled.
The five of them began talking as they headed back to the entrance. Elsa, Sam and Merida were already waiting for them.
Elsa was standing their crossed arm and frowning at them. Jack quickly removed his arm from Anna's shoulder and pretended to stretch.
"You're five minutes late." She stated.
"Come on sis." Anna nudged her sister. "It's only five minutes."
"It may be nothing to you, but for me it takes away precious study time."
"It's the weekend. You have plenty of time." Anna said.
Elsa didn't want to have this conversation with her sister. For starters she knew where it'd lead and second it was more valuable time wasted.
"Just get in the car." She pointed and the three girls marched. This was where they parted with the boys.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Jack assured Anna and she quickly kissed him on the cheek. It happened too fast for anyone to notice. She figured, she'd keep it from Elsa for now. Last thing she wanted was for this perfect day to be ruined by one of her sister's boring lectures.
