Blue eyes skittered around the room until they landed on a cheerful girl dancing with a group of girls. Jack let out a small sigh as he tilted his head back and drowned down the rest of his punch. Dressed in a simple long sleeved blue button down, the silver haired teen maneuvered his way back towards the punch bowl and served himself another cup full of the fruity pink beverage.
"You know, someone could have spiked that and you wouldn't have a clue." Jack paused slightly before taking a sip. Slowly looking around the room, the blue eyed teen tried to find the source of the voice that warned him before shrugging casually and getting another cupful.
"Nah, didn't feel like doing it this time." With those words, a head popped out from under the table that held the punch bowl, the long floor length table cover hanging off the brunette boy's neck almost like a scarf.
"That was you? I should have known," the brunette sighed loudly before snapping his attention to the colorfully lit dance floor before him.
"Hey, Haddock. Now what's a stud like you hiding in a place like this? Too many girls asking to dance," Jack chuckled, throwing the paper cup he was previously drinking out of into the trash bin not too far away.
"Sorta," the brunette muttered, before ducking back into his hiding place. Jack let out a cough in shock before bending down and pulling the cover up a little.
"No way, you?" Jack couldn't help but grin as Hiccup flailed his arms about and grabbed the cover out of Jack's hand and drop it back down.
"Hey, I'm trying to hide here. And is it really that shocking that girls want to dance with me?" Hiccup's voice muffled, cracking a bit here and there as Jack rose back to his feet.
"Just surprising, but congrats, I guess." Jack leaned against the table slightly, looking nonchalant as he continued to chat with Hiccup through the table cover.
"Not much to celebrate when both Astrid and Merida want to dance with me and won't let the other dance with me afterwards." Jack couldn't help but laugh loudly at this bit of information, earning glances from the other dancers and socializers as Jack ignored them.
"No wonder you're hiding."
"Ha ha, very funny. You know, I don't exactly see you doing the rumba either." Jack started laughing once more, unable to contain the sound as he wiped back imaginary tears.
"You crack me up, Haddock. You couldn't pay me enough to do the rumba."
"Maybe I can't, but Rapunzel might convince you." Jack opened his mouth to retort, but couldn't form any words past his suddenly dry mouth.
"By your silence, I'm guessing I was right," Hiccup drawled before loud familiar footsteps forced him to quiet down.
"Oi, Jack. Jus wut are ya starin at? I dun think ta punch bowl did anythin ta shock ya. Anyways, ya seen Hiccup? Lads, disappeared almost an hour ago." Jack turned slightly to see Merida with her arms crossed and her foot already tapping impatiently as she waited for Jack to answer her. Her scottish accent as usual, was barely understandable to Jack as he tried to come up with a good answer.
"Yo, DunBroch! I already told you, you ain't dancing with Hiccup, the next dance is already mine." Storming towards the punch table came Astrid with her bright blue eyes glaring in Merida's direction. Turning sharply, Merida glared back at Astrid with her own deep blue eyes.
"Yah can't control the man. If he wants tah dance wit meh, then yah can't do nothin 'bout it," Merida snapped, her bright red hair blazing as her face started to scrunch up in anger. Jack let out a sigh, already hearing the potential catfight in the making.
"Well the same goes for you too. You can't just monopolize all of Hiccup's attention. He agreed to dance with me!"
"Ladies, ladies. Just go find Haddock and finally settle it. I think I saw him go out for some air a while ago. He's probably still out there," Jack said before moving to grab yet another cupful of punch, hoping that the two would just leave. When Jack turned back, the two girls were storming away towards the door, their two forms pushing and shoving until they reached the door and walked out into the cool night air.
"Aaaaaannnnd, now they'll never leave me alone. Thanks so much, Jack," Hiccup said sarcastically as he poured himself some punch. Jack gave Hiccup a grin in response, casually sipping away the pink punch as he continued to glance out at the dance floor.
"You know, the dance is almost over. Seems like a waste to come if you aren't even going to dance. Where's your date, Jack? Didn't scare her off, did you." Jack shrugged in response before placing his drink down.
"Didn't come with one. Thought I would cause some mischief instead. Sides, I don't see you with a date, Haddock." Hiccup let out a sigh after he guzzled down the rest of his drink.
"That's cause I apparently came with two. You just sent my dates on a wild goose chase," Hiccup sighed out as his shoulders slumped a bit discouraged.
"Well, if you want, I could just go get them for you."
"NO!" Hiccup shouted suddenly. Realizing what he just shouted out, the freckled face teen started to turn bright red, almost mimicking the red haired scot that stormed out previously.
"Relax, Haddock. If I wanted to get them, I wouldn't have told you," Jack teased before drowning down the rest of his drink.
"Oh gee, thanks. That reassures me so much," Hiccup replied, rolling his eyes at the comment. "So far I'm not seeing your so called pranks in action. What, losing your touch already?" Jack just grinned in response, his blue eyes twinkling with amusement before he threw his paper cup away.
"You're just gunna hafta wait and see, Haddock." Jack laughed out. "And just what are you wearing anyways? Is that tweed?" Hiccup looked down at his ensemble with a surprised look on his face.
"What, I thought it looked nice," Hiccup defended still looking down at his full brown colored tweed suit with green and tan checkered tie to match.
"A bit formal for a high school dance."
"Well we all can't look nice in simple clothing," Hiccup muttered, causing Jack to laugh once more.
"You're missing out on that window of opportunity, you know. Last song is about to come on and it looks like Flynn might want to dance with Rapunzel too," Hiccup stated, breaking the comfortable silence the two found themselves in. Jack tilted his head slightly to see Flynn Rider start to make his way over towards the currently alone blonde haired girl that had Jack so enamored.
"Jack! I was wondering, would you want to dance with me? I mean, if you want or maybe..." Jack looked down to see a girl with deep brown hair highlighted with bright colors in her side-swept bangs. Opening his mouth to respond to the fast speaking girl, Jack was just about to respond before he was cut off by Hiccup.
"Tooth! How have you been? You know, we don't talk much anymore. Why don't we catch up! Wouldn't that be nice! Is something new with you? Is that a new haircut?" Hiccup babbled, stepping in front of the startled girl.
"Well, Hiccup. I was kinda..." Tooth tried explaining before she was gentle guided towards the dancefloor.
"Now don't hurt my feelings. Come dance with me," Hiccup persisted as the two made their way towards the dancefloor, Tooth looking over her shoulder a bit reluctantly, but otherwise said nothing as she let herself be led towards the dancefloor. Wide eyed, Jack tried to comprehend what just happened. Letting out a sigh, Jack pushed himself away from the table and finally decided to try and ask Rapunzel to dance. Nimbly avoiding all the other dancers as a slow song started to play, Jack cut right in front of Flynn before he even had the chance to open his mouth.
"Hey, Punzie! Wanna dance?" Rapunzel looked up and smiled brightly, making Jack's heart pick up a bit in speed as she nodded.
"Sure! Oh, Eugene! I didn't see you there. Did you need something?" Rapunzel asked, looking behind Jack to see a sulking Flynn slouch a bit.
"Oh, nothing nothing, Rapunzel. Just thought I would look for a dance partner," Flynn responded, trying to appear excited and happy as he backed away from the two.
"Oh really! Well good luck with that! I'm sure you'll find her," Rapunzel said with a bright reassuring smile as Jack looked back and sent Flynn a rather cocky smile.
"Yeah, Eugene," Jack said in a teasing tone. "I'm sure you'll find her too," Flynn frowned slightly at this before giving Jack a curt nod and smiling brightly in Rapunzel's direction.
"So, shall we?" Jack asked, turning his attention back to Rapunzel and extending his own hand out. Giggling slightly, the long blonde haired girl placed her hand in his and tried in vain to stifle her giggles.
"We shall," Rapunzel said seriously before breaking out into a fit of giggles. Both in a fit of laughter, made their way towards a less crowded area on the dancefloor. With a nervous gulp, Jack hesitantly placed his hands around the petite girl's waist before she brought her hands up and placed them lightly against Jack's shoulders.
"Hey, it'll be fine," Rapunzel reassured, noticing Jack's hint of nervousness. "Just let the music guide you."
"Easier said than done, Punz," Jack murmured, knowing he practically had two left feet when it came to dancing; now he was unsure as to why he was doing this in the first place.
"You're doing fine, Jack. At least you haven't stepped on my toes yet," Rapunzel smiled, her green eyes shining as she looked up at Jack. Jack could feel his cheeks heating slightly as his heart started to skip a beat. Jack nodded dumbfoundedly, his mouth suddenly dry as the two continued to sway to the music. Suddenly remembering his prank about to come, Jack broke out into a wide grin. With green eyes twinkling with mirth, the blonde teen started to smile almost knowingly.
"I recognize that look, Jack Frost. You have a prank planned out don't you," Rapunzel said as Jack spun her in an experimental twirl, her large intricately braided hair moving a bit away from her body before thumping against her back as the two were once again dancing as one.
"Planned and almost in motion, Punzie," Jack said with a small wink before the lights flickered off and the music screeched and changed to an entirely new song. Stunned, Rapunzel tried to look around her even though the lights. Rapunzel shook slightly as a puff of air brushed past her ear, Jack's voice soon following after.
"Hope you know how to do the chicken." Although not as bright as before, the lights slowly turned back on and the gymnasium movie screen started to slowly go down. Now playing in the background, instead of the slow song previously, was the chicken dance. The polka music thumped loudly, making all the other dancers pause immediately and look around the room in confusion. Rapunzel started to giggle profusely as Jack started to do the chicken dance with the most ridiculous look on his face. Unable to contain herself, Rapunzel joined in, soon the both were leading the whole dancefloor in the chicken dance. Soon, the music neared it's end and the lights dimmed once more, leaving only the light of the projector that lowered from the gym's ceiling, the only light in the entire room.
With the numbers counting down on the screen, the whole student body looked towards the projection with anticipation and curiosity, no one but one single person knowing what the projector might broadcast. As the number hit zero, a slideshow of pictures started to make their appearance. On screen was their beloved principal dressed up in the brightest, fluffiest chicken costume anyone had ever seen. The pictures soon transitioned into a video, leaving everyone gasping for breath as they tried to stop their laughters.
"Oi, no one better see this, Sandy. I can't believe you guys talked me into this," Principal Bunnymund muttered in his thick australian accent. The camera shook slightly as a single thumb moved into frame and a loud boisterous laugh filled the air.
"It is good, Bunny. Suit looks nice and children will love at party," a russian accent reassured with a chuckle. The deeply tan faced Australian dropped his head slightly before sighing deeply.
"I don't know why I'm the one in the suit, North. You'd make a better chicken than I would."
"Suit too small and only you could fit. Last time I order from site. No good business." The camera turned slightly to focus on a rather jolly looking man with hair and beard lined heavily with gray. Laugh lines crinkled beside the man's eyes and mouth as he continued to laugh joyfully as he looked towards the camera.
"Now, Bunny. One practice before we see children." Bunnymund let out a sigh as the same song that the students were just dancing to started to play through the camera. Jack couldn't help it anymore, he started laughing louder than ever as their usually stoic principal started to dance the chicken dance and looked like he was even enjoying it.
"Frost!" Jack looked towards the doors at the sound of his name. Trying to feign innocence, Jack tried to avoid eye contact with the gray suited principal while trying to keep the grin out of sight.
"My office, now." Jack looked up and gave the principal a smirk in response, already knowing the whole procedure as he was led away.
"See ya next week, Punzie," Jack said with a mock salute, his eyes still twinkling with mischief as Rapunzel returned with a small wave.
"Bye Jack, hope you don't get in too much trouble." The principal scoffed at this as Jack just gave Rapunzel on last wink before leaving the gym.
Jackunzel prompt 3. Oh gosh, this was so cheesy and cliche, but that's what I thought up and that's what I wrote up. I own nothing. Rise of the Guardians belongs to Dreamworks and William Joyce, Tangled belongs to Disney, How to train your Dragon belongs to Dreamworks and Cressida Cowell, Brave belongs to Pixar/Disney. Leave me a thought before you go.
