"Is this deep enough?" Jack looked up from the four foot hole he had dug out in the middle of the beach, eyes squinting as sweat dripped down from his brow. The trio standing above him exchanged glances, all raising their eyebrows before they looked at the person who drew the short end of the stick.
"NOPE!" the three choired.
"About another foot!" Hiccup yelled down. Rapunzel giggled a bit when he saw the exasperated look on her boyfriend's face. Merida snickered lightly while the other man was trying to wear a poker face, a smirk broke through, though.
The white haired man groaned, thrusting the shovel into the sand and straightening his back, which cracked loudly in the process. "GAH!" Hiccup chuckled lightly before sighing.
"Alright, Jack, that's enough." He reached down and offered his arm.
"Thanks," Jack grunted out as he grabbed the man's arm and pulled himself up and out of the large ditch. The white haired man threw the shovel onto the sand nearby and stretched out some more, his aching muscles talking to him. Rapunzel held the large plastic case full of nick knacks and other miscellaneous items that filled it to the top in between both of her hands, staring down at it.
She sighed and bit her lip, getting on her knees by the edge of the hole and dropped it in. Merida stood next to her, smiling at the brunette as Hiccup grabbed the shovel and began filling the hole back up.
"I wonder what it'll be like next year when we come back here," the brunette absently wondered, staring off into the horizon with the setting sun. Jack straightened his back some more, grimacing as the bones in his back cracked a little bit more.
"Well," he began, slowly pacing over towards her, his arms were up in the air, letting the blood begin to flow through them again. Jack sighed, looking down at his girlfriend with a small smirk. "Let's wait and find out."
