Hiccup and Jack Vs The Apocalypse

Chapter 2: On Our Way!

It has been a happy, care-free day for the two friends. Since they arrived at Jack's mansion, they did nothing but play video games, read comic books, watch classic movies like Star Wars, usual best-friend stuff. The two also discussed the showbiz genre, rumors revolving around the two of them, mostly in their love life.

Now, let us break down at least one rumor about the two them.

Let's tackle about Jack's first. About two years ago, a musical called 'Frozen' gained mainstream popularity throughout the world. It is so popular you can literally find Frozen merchandise everywhere in the form of kites, pillows, stuffed dolls, pajamas, and even dildos! Normally, the hero of the film garners more attention and spotlight than the other casts, but the reason of the movie's success is largely due to the deuteragonist's performance.

Her name is Elsa Winters, who played the role of Queen Idina of Arrendelle. Surprisingly, she has a lot in common to Jack. Both have icy blue eyes, nearly platinum hair color (though Jack's hair is more silvery looking), a pale complexion, and the two completely adore the winter season. Oh, and both of them had ice powers in their respective movies.

Then came the media.

Just because two actors had a lot in common doesn't mean that they're dating, right? And photoshopped pictures of the two scattered all over the internet didn't help their case at all. Finally, Jack and Elsa Winters finally met when they were invited as guests at a popular late night show. They discussed about the relationship rumors and Elsa, at long last, said that it is not true countless times. But somewhere, deep inside Jack's heart, he was hurt.

Then came Hiccup's.

Apparently, some albino-haired idiot (you probably know who he is) told the public that he has a crush on Mary Daiyan Malik, also known as 'Merida Dunbroch'. No, she is not related to Zayn Malik. However, Merida is Scotland's youngest Olympian to win a gold medal in the age of 16. Archery may not be as popular as Basketball or Hockey, but her flawless and perfect performance, along with her very cute face, in the events made her an instant icon throughout the world.

Heck, she even got offered to star in her very first movie. Hiccup only met Merida once when their films were nominated in the Golden Globe Awards. When Hiccup first laid eyes on Merida, she quickly became his celebrity crush. She was on the slender but athletic side, her pale skin made her light freckles and rosy cheeks standout, striking sky blue eyes, and the highlight that made her standout the most, her curly red hair that shows how fierce she looked when she was in the Olympics. Hiccup's heart skipped a beat. Coincidentally, Jack just so happens to be the special guest host and the announcer of 'Best Feature Film'. Like I said before, an albino-haired idiot told the public that Hiccup has a crush on Merida.

Now that that's over, let's go back to Hiccup's problem.

Unfortunately for him, in the next ten minutes, they will be heading to Flynn's housewarming party. Hiccup wondered what was so special about this celebration. It's just a man moving in a new house right? Jack said that every Rider party has a rap battle, and this time, he will be participating and will be facing off against Flynn himself. And he is even more ecstatic now that his best friend's coming to the party.

Speaking of, Hiccup is now in the bathroom, looking for some hair gel to make himself look neater.

"Why am I going with you again?" he asked, struggling to open the cap of the hair gel he found.

Jack was outside the bathroom door, his arms crossed and feet tapping against the hardwood floor impatiently. He rolled his eyes, "This is the thirteenth time you asked me that question! Because it's going to be the best party you'll ever attend to in your whole life! And you are coming with me whether by your own will or I will force you to!"

Inside the ivory color tiled bathroom, Hiccup sighed in defeat. There is no way he is getting out of this. One of Jack's hidden traits is his mischievousness. He will practically do anything to get what he wants. Just thinking about Jack's pranks and blackmails are enough to make Hiccup shudder. Basically, only the ones close to Jack know what tricks he'll pull out his sleeve.

There was a sudden knock on the door that startled Hiccup. It opened and Jack's head popped in.

"It's time to go! Now come on!" Jack announced, grinning.

And so, Hiccup took a deep breath, and exhaled, "I can do this" he muttered.

Hiccup ultimately decided that they ride a taxi instead. He completely ignored Jack's cries of protest and complaints that riding his sports car will be the faster way to get to their destination. Hiccup reasoned that there is no need to use the car. Flynn's mansion is ten blocks away from where Jack lives anyway. Though he was glad that Jack didn't argue with him anymore, for he only gets car sick when he rides with him, plus Jack's reckless driving. He seriously didn't want to die right now; he is still young after all.

After a few short minutes, silence took over the cab. Though the weirdest part of it was that Jack, usually talkative and huge bundle of energy in a daily basis, is unusually silent. That spooked Hiccup up a lot. The deafening silence continued. Hiccup got uncomfortable; he was used to Jack's loud chats and nonsense story telling. He glanced at Jack, and finally got the answer why he's unusually quiet.

Jack was busy playing Clash of Clans.

Deciding to entertain himself, Hiccup took out his earphones and IPod. He peered at the screen, scrolling and eyeing every playlist he organized. He continued to scroll through until one particular album caught his eyes. The album art had an ocean view, vast and wide. Also part of it was the Al Burj Arab of Saudi Arabia. The title was Ocean Eyes by Owl City. This is perfect he thought. He quickly pressed the play button and allowed the songs to take him over. Afterwards he ended up daydreaming..er, night dreaming, staring blankly out the window.

Meanwhile on the other side of the backseat, Jack was currently examining his friend. The brunette was minding his own business, singing along to whatever he is listening to. Jack sighed in relief; he's glad that the Hiccup next to him right now is calm and smiling unlike the bundle of nerves he was way back. He never stopped to wonder whatever happened that made Hiccup an anti-social. It must be a pretty bad and embarrassing experience when he was young, or maybe it's completely natural of him. But this is for his own good.

Seriously, have you ever heard of an introverted celebrity?

Confirming that Hiccup is probably relaxed now, Jack tapped the brunette's shoulder, grabbing his attention. Hiccup took his earphones off then looked at Jack.

"So…" Jack started. "Do you finally accept to meet and make new friends and socialize?"

Hiccup sighed. He ran a hand to his hair, "Well, we're already on the way there. Might as well."

"That's what I like to hear!" Jack cheered.

There was an awkward silence. Jack realized just now.

"It's been awful quiet for awhile now…" He commented.

"Well you're the expert in having fun." Hiccup started. Something in the tone of his voice told Jack that Hiccup is encouraging him. "What do you think we can do?"

Jack smirked at his friend. Is that a challenge he hear? Ha! 'Fun' is his middle name! He wasn't called as 'The Guardian of Fun' for nothing! All of his fun antics had been successful so far. Though this time, he'll try something else, something he had never done before. Hopefully, he wished this will succeed as well.

"We'll sing a song!" Jack declared.

Hiccup stared at him. He arched a brow, "Sing?"

"Yep!" Jack said with a smile. "I'll pick one!" Jack cleared his throat.

"For the first time in forever!"

Hiccup groaned "Seriously?"

"Hey! If you want at least a stress reliever, this is the only way to go bo-yo!"

Hiccup sighed. He plugged out his earphones and kept it inside his backpack and his phone in his pocket. He took a deep breath, before singing hesitantly. "There'll be magic, there'll be fun…"

Jack chuckled, "For the first time in forever!"

"I could be noticed by someone…"

"I know you get nervous in parties, but at least you have to trrrrrrryyyy! Hit it Hiccup!"

Jack saw a smile crept up Hiccup's face. This is turning out to be another job well done for him.

"For the first time in forever! I can get to socialize!"

The laughter of the two filled the taxi. Hiccup admitted that Jack's idea actually made his anxiety wear off. Interesting, does Jack actually have magical powers to make people laugh and have fun like the character he played in 'Rise of the Guardians'? Almost everything he did make peoples lives better, on and off the camera. He was happy that he had Jack for a best friend.

A few minutes passed, the taxi arrived at the destination. They paid the taxi driver and then exited the car.

"Thanks for the autographs!" The taxi driver yelled waving his hands to grab their attention.

"Anytime Mater!" Jack also waved. "Tell Lightning and Sally that we said hello!"

"You betcha!" Mater said with a smile before driving off, leaving a trail of smoke as he continued to do his profession. Hiccup and Jack have befriended Mac when they were scolded because of the noise they were making inside. Soon they found out that they were not familiar to Mater because he was always on the road, making a living and he almost couldn't watch television. When the two told him their names, Mater got excited because his daughter, named Sally, was a fan of Jackson Overland while his son, Owen Lightning, is a fan of Hiccup. Jack asked Mater to give his address to him so that he can bring toys for them. Mater was so happy that he almost lost control of the cab and run over people or crashed in one of the buildings.

"Mater's a great guy!" Jack said. Hiccup nodded in agreement.

The two began to march towards the mansion in front of them. No wait, not a mansion but more like a castle in Jack's perspective. The bright lights made it more like it was in a fantasy land or something that came out of a magician's spell, and with a plethora of nearby architectural styles from grand Georgian to hip modernism, wide tree-lined walkway to stroll in to, and a romantic garden that looks like a miniature Venice, its picturesque perfection makes it feel like you're walking onto a film set.

Jack stared, wide eyed. How much money did Flynn spent on this masterpiece? It must have cost a fortune!

Even Hiccup was amazed. Ever since he became a celebrity, Hiccup started to live in a high profile subdivision near Oakland where a bunch wealthy people lived. Sure he saw some mansions that was larger or more beautifully designed than his, but those were nothing compared to this castle.

"This is CRAZY!" Jack exclaimed.

"You think?" Hiccup asked. "Because I think it's a bit too much."

"What do you mean it's a bit too much? I think it's right on the money!" Jack scratched his chin. "Well…for Flynn anyway."

"Who does he think he is? Mickey Mouse?"

"Come on Hiccup, this is an awesome street he lives in." Jack then remembered the redhead very special to Hiccup. Jack's lips formed a smirk. "You know, Merida lives in this street as well."

Just as he expected, Hiccup's head turned to him in a fast motion. "Really?" It sounded like Hiccup's happy to hear the fact.

"And why are you interested now?" Jack said, teasing Hiccup.

Hiccup realized what he just said, and he totally regretted it."For the love of!-Will you stop talking about her!"

The two finally arrived in front of the door.

Authors Note!

To my readers, (If I still have one) I am so sorry for the long absence. I have a very good explanation.

My laptop broke down.

Also that doesn't mean that I'll update weekly. In my country, school started about a week ago so maybe I'll at least update twice a month if my powers can let me.

Mater from Cars got a cameo because I think he's one of the goofiest characters in Disney and Cars is one of my favorite animated films! I also mentioned that Lightning and Sally is his children just for the fun of it! XD (And I'm REALLY bad at adding/introducing characters in a scene)

For future reference, there might be JElsa and MerriCup!

And lastly, Favorite/Follow this story and feel free to review!

See you guys in the next chapter! STARBLAST BLASTING OFF!
