A week had gone by since Rapunzel and Merida bumped into Flynn and every day without fail Rapunzel would call Flynn up and talk to him for at least an hour. It took all of 3 days for Flynn to ask out Rapunzel which she obviously said yes to. It was now the day of the date and Rapunzel was running around like a headless chicken looking for things and trying to get ready while Merida got annoyed as her sketches and fabrics where getting chucked around the apartment. So when the knock on the door finally came Merida was more than relieved.

"Wow, what happened to this place?" Flynn asked while looking around the apartment.

"It's your lass, she is still getting ready. Apparently she can't find anything."

"I do like the sound of that." Flynn said while goofily smiling to himself.

"What?" Merida asked home genuinely confused.

"My lass."

"Oh god, get over yourself." Merida sighed. "Have a seat and I'll get Punz for you." Merida said while gathering some sketches which were thrown across the sofa.

As Merida walked into Rapunzel's room she saw her sitting in her bed in a dress which wasn't zipped up, one shoe on and the other lost somewhere in the chaos and her hair and make-up a mess. "Oh, Punzie what's wrong?" Rapunzel looked up at Merida and started pulling pins out if her hair not saying anything. Merida grabbed some wipes and started to wipe Rapunzel's face clean of smudged make-up. She then zipped up her dress and found her other shoe. While doing her hair Rapunzel started to get anxious again. "Merida? What if it doesn't go well? I really like this guy."

"Flynn seems like an amazing guy and you have so much in common. I know for a fact it's going to go well."

"Okay, I suppose your right. I am just getting worries for nothing."

"And you have absolutely no reason to. You look gorgeous Punz. Flynn would be a fool to screw it up." Merida said as she clipped in a flower into Rapunzel's hair. "There, all done." Rapunzel turned around and hugged Merida and quickly ran out of the room to meet Flynn. By the time Merida left the bedroom both Flynn and Rapunzel had left, so Merida decided to start cleaning the mess and continue with her project.


After 2 hours of working which resulted in no new ideas Merida decided she needed to take a break. Looking in the fridge she realised there was no food in the house so she phoned up the local pizza planet and ordered her usual, which as the meat supreme. Once she got off the phone she decided to go for a shower to try and relieve some of the tension she had been feeling.

In the shower she carefully avoided getting her hair wet knowing too well that it would only frizz if it was bit dried correctly but she didn't have any time to dry her hair as her deadline was in two weeks and she still needed two more designs. Just as she was rinsing off the last bit of body soap she heard a knock at the door.

Quickly she wrapped a towel around herself and shouted towards the door that she would be a minute. After rummaging in her wardrobe she finally pulled in a blue crop top and the joggers that Flynn had given her a week ago. When she opened the door there stood a boy just taller than herself with hair so light it was almost white. The boy looked up and she was mesmerised with his pale skin and crystal clear blue eyes which were directed toward her head. Merida put her hand in her head and realised that she was still walking around with a messy topknot on her head from her shower. She grabbed the hair tie and yanked it out of her hair and the boys' eyes widened even more as her hair tumbled down her back. "Sorry, I was just in the shower there and forgot I had my hair like that." She said while a blush rested on her cheeks.
"Why would you even have a shower of you know that you are getting something delivered? That's just plain stupid." The big replied with a look of disgust on his face.

"Sorry, I didn't think you would be so fast." Merida said to the delivery boy, looking shocked.

"Well I told you I would be 15 minutes." The boy said while pushing the pizza box towards Merida.

"Okay, seriously calm down. I don't come to your home and act like a tool." Merida scoffed as she yanked the pizza from the box and pulled out her purse. "You know what I'm going to complain. What's your name?"

"Jackson Frost. And please go ahead and complain, just what I need is to be fired."

"Well maybe if you acted a little nicer to your paying customers then they wouldn't complain."

"I do act fucking nice, just not to the ones who make me wait 10 minutes outside their apartments."

"I told you what I was doing and even apologised, so fuck you." Merida yelled at him passing him the money and slamming the door in his face.

"Fucking Scot." He yelled back through the door before he left.

Merida flopped back down onto her sofa and started eat her pizza. As she flicked through the channels she became frustrated with not finding anything good on TV. Not even her favourite show, Cake Boss, could cheer her up. She was in a foul mood no thanks to Jackson.

When she finished her last slice she closed the box and turned back to her designs. So far she had half a sketch drawn and random bits of fabrics stuck to her mannequin which stood in the middle of the room. She walked over to the mannequin and pulled of the materials and picked up a larger piece of blue material. After pinning it onto the mannequin Merida stood back and quickly grabbed her sketch pad and started drawing. The first sketch was thrown away, as was the second and the third but the fourth was the one that Merida knew was perfect.

As she placed her sketch down she glanced over to the clock and realised that it was almost midnight and Rapunzel was still not home. Deciding to stay up for her Merida put the kettle on and quickly got changed into some fluffy pyjamas. She then went on to selecting her favourite movie, Avengers Assemble, and made her tea.

It was only at the part where Iron Man and Thor are fighting when she heard laughing coming from outside the door and a minute later Rapunzel walked in. When she saw Merida she sat beside her on the sofa and dived straight into her date. Merida had to admit that their date was romantic, a dinner, ice skating and then he walked her home in the fresh snow that was falling.

Merida decided against telling her friend of the frustrating night she had but instead showed her the new design she came up with. "Wow, this is amazing." Rapunzel said awe. "I love the neckline."

"Thanks, Punz." Merida said smiling proudly. "Here is the material I'm going to use, the skirt is going to have at least three underskirts I think." She said while handing Rapunzel the materials.

"This is such a pretty blue. You've got to make this for me too!"

"Alright lass." Merida laughed. "Anyway, it's late now and don't you have work tomorrow?"

"Oh, yeah. I should probably get some sleep." Rapunzel said while skipping to her bedroom. Merida proceeded to put her designs and fabrics away and decided to go to bed as well.


A/N - Honestly I don't like this chapter but I swear it is going to get better!

I also think that I will be updating weekly because I go back to school next week and I really need to get my grades to get into Uni.
