AN: Thank you guys for reviewing so quickly. Haha. I have to say I thought people would just shrug it off. You have no idea what it means to me how much attention this story is already getting. To be honest, I am having a fun time thinking about the plotline, it's kind of sucking me into the fandom chain. Well, anyways...
Enjoy Chapter two.
BTW, forgot to mention this I do not own Tangled or Rise of the Guardians. Just thought I would include that.
Rapunzel looked at the bed sheets and traced a sun. "You were in one of my story books." She replied. "You look the same! Well, why wouldn't you? I mean..." She trailed off looking at the winter spirit.
Jack laughed. "Haha, you had me going there for awhile. I mean, I thought we met before and then-"
"How would we meet?" Rapunzel interrupted. "I never..." She trailed off looking out the window at the forest far in the distance.
Jack suddenly felt like he hit a nerve. "What?"
Rapunzel brushed some of her hair behind her ear. It was then when Jack suddenly saw how long her hair actually was. It went across the mattress behind them and the rest layed in a heap beside the trunk. "I never left this tower..." Her mood was changed in an instant to a dreamy mood. "But what I would do to see... The lights..." She smiled at Jack just a little. "I would do anything."
"What are the lights?" Out of all the time that Jack has been exploring the village of Corona, he has never seen any lights. He knew it was an event but he has never seen it.
Rapunzel got up and went over to her window putting the book down. "Every year, these cool lights get released into the sky. I don't know what they are, but they are definitely not stars." Leaning against the window pane she could just see the lights coming up over the trees.
She suddenly gasped and Jack was taken aback clutching his staff thinking she saw something.
A tiny yell came from below. "Rapunzel!" A women's voice came from below. "Rapunzel I know you're up there! Let down your hair."
Rapunzel's face flushed. "I-" She turned her head towards Jack. "You have to go!" She went over to Jack.
Jack immediately started to laugh.
"Rapunzel!" The woman sounded like she was getting impatient.
"Just let her up." He went over to the window and sat on the edge looking at the old woman. "Yeesh. She does not look happy..."
Rapunzel pushed him away from the window. "Get away she'll see you!"
"No she won't!" His eyes felt like ice then. He was serious.
Rapunzel tried calming herself and then went over to the window. "Mother!" She beamed down at the lady. "You're back!" She yelled.
She tossed her hair down and the lady grabbed it. "What took you so long!" Mother obviously wasn't happy about the delay.
"Um..." Rapunzel tried thinking of an excuse as she hoisted her up. "I was making candles!" She thought that was viable. "Sorry." The woman was in the window in no time and when she looked in Jack's direction Rapunzel's face went red and her heart stopped.
"Oh... Flower, why do always leave your bedroom so unkept!" It seemed as if the woman was looking over every inch of her room.
"Unkept? Mother, I cleaned it yesterday..."
"And it's dirty again!" With a single swipe of her finger she ran it along the vanity.
"Well, Mother. I barely touch my vanity so I thought it wouldn't matter." She smiled and looked at the darked eye woman. "So... Mother... I was just wondering if I could-"
"No Rapunzel."
"But you didn't even give me a chance to explain!"
Her mother looked at her for a little bit. Then grabbed something out of her basket. "Okay, well..." She trailed off gesturing to the items. "I am going to make some stew-"
"Mother! I wanna see the lights!"
It seemed her mother wasn't fond of the statement. "Rapunzel... You are simply not old enough yet."
"When am I going to be old enough Mother!" Her arms flung up and automatically knocked some peppers out of the basket.
"Rapunzel!" Her mothers voice boomed in fury. She bent down and picked up the red and green vegetables. "We shall discuss this later."
When her mother left, Rapunzel exhaled a growl and collapsed on her bed.
"Where are the lights?"
The blonde looked up and she had forgot that Jack Frost was in her bedroom. Her eyes suddenly twinkled like the morning sun. "You could take me!"
Jack sat back. "Oh no... I don't think that's possible. Not with all your hair..." He pointed to the 70 ft locks trailing across the floor.
"But..." Her face went sorrowful then.
"Why is your hair so long anyways? Can't you cut it? I mean you have scissors." Jack gestured to some scissors and craft paper she had sitting on the table.
"If I cut it, it will turn brown, and..." She took a piece of her hair that was already brown.
Jack looked at her confused. "What?"
"Nothing. It doesn't matter." She gave him a more serious look. "Take me to see the lights! Please! I mean if you take me, I won't have to run away."
Pascal's eyes narrowed as if saying, 'You are too scared to run away. You had many times to run away.'
Rapunzel gave a nervous laugh.
Jack looked at her, and then the enormous length of her hair, then sighed. "Fine..." He got up and went over to the window. "Eat supper, and I will be back at dawn."
"Wait, where are you going?" Rapunzel grabbed his hand before he could fly off.
"I need to go take care of some things first, you know." He winked at her. "I will be back. I promise..."
Rapunzel looked at him, and then he left drifting in the wind like a snow flake. "I hope he comes back..."
She looked at Pascal and he gave her a concerned look.
"Come on Pascal, it will be fine..." She looked at the sky. "I hope." But she was a little nervous about what the day would bring too. In her stomach butterflies were flying around and she suddenly didn't even want to think about eating that stew.
Okay about the village being called Corona, I know it was never mentioned in the movie, but I went on the Disney's Tangled Wiki and it said that the town was called Corona which also means crown in Germany well spelled with a 'k'. Also, I just noticed that since Rapunzel's time was around the 1750's-1800's Jack would not be a guardian yet. CRAZY RIGHT?! Haha.
So, I guess this would just be Jack's roaming around period.
