Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated! :P I know, you all must think I'm a jerk or a butthead. I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me! Actually, I've been working on, like, a hundred one-shots, trying to finish them all at the same time . . . let me tell you, I am NOT good at multitasking! And I've been recently updating my other story, Is It Love? (slowly). But I have not given up all my hope and faith on this! I SHALL FINISH IT! I DO NOT KNOW WHEN, BUT I SHALL FINISH IT! Hopefully. :D

Hiccup

The whole group was standing in the center of the North Pole. They did a four-way high five, bursting with laughter.

"That . . ." Hiccup gasped. "Was epic! I haven't had that much fun since Toothless and I dumped dragon dung onto a bunch of evil gnomes!" The others glanced at him quizzically, but didn't say anything.

"Frost!" an angry Australian accent shouted from one corridor.

"Rapunzel!" came a thick Russian accent from another.

"Hiccup!" a higher-pitched voice shrieked from the one next to it.

Angry swirls came from the last one.

"Uh oh." Merida glanced around. "we're trapped!"

Hiccup felt a sense of dread overcoming him.

"Just calm down, everyone!" Jack flew above their heads. "They can't hurt us. We're immortal, remember?"

"I-I'm scared," Rapunzel whimpered. Jack lowered himself and put a comforting arm around her shoulder.

"Hey, Punzie, you'll be okay," he whispered to her.

She took a deep breath, then smiled at him. "Yeah. Okay." She tightened her grip on her frying pan, her face suddenly stormy. "Let's do this!"

"Yeah!" Merida cheered. "Ah finally get tae be in the action!" She pulled out a sword from a dark teal pack at her hip. It blended in perfectly with her dress. Her pack was magical and could hold anything in it. She never let Hiccup forget that.

"Okay, I guess so." Hiccup pulled a dagger out of his pocket.

Merida scoffed at his puny weapon. "Ah've got sometin' better for ya," she told him, taking out a sword. It wasn't as long as hers, but it was better than his tiny blade. Hiccup took it.

"NOW we're ready." Jack looked at them all in satisfaction. Good thing, too, because all four of the guardians came running into the room, yelling.

Each attacked their own guardian. Jack froze Bunnymund into a thicker block of ice, the Easter bunny's face in a deep scowl. Rapunzel knocked North out with a squeal and a bang on the head with her frying pan. Merida shot arrows at Sandy, but wasn't so successful. The sandman used his sand whips and pinned her down on a wall. She grinned at him sheepishly. Hiccup stared in shock as Tooth called in her mini fairies to poke Hiccup and Toothless till they surrendered.

Tooth and Sandy stood triumphantly over their captives as Jack and Rapunzel did theirs.

"Aw man, come on, guys!" Jack whined. "Those are the EASIEST to capture!"

Merida's head whipped around to face him. "Ah'll have ya know that arrows are nothing against sand!"

"And I don't have any amazing powers," Hiccup complained. "I'm an inventor, a super brain, and most of the action I do is with Toothless!"

"Give us North and Bunny," Tooth informed the others calmly, "and we'll release Merida and Hiccup."

"Fine." Jack rolled his eyes and slid Bunny over to Sandy, and Rapunzel shoved North over to Tooth. Tooth and Sandy exchanged Merida and Hiccup.

Sandy flew away with Bunny, and Tooth and her fairies rolled North back inside of his workshop. Merida, Hiccup, Jack, and Rapunzel all walked to the kitchen and sat down with a plate of cookies and hot chocolate.

For a while, no one said anything. Then Hiccup spoke up. "So, that plan went swimmingly," he remarked sarcastically.

"Aw, shut yer trap, Haddock," Merida spat. "Ye were the one who surrendered to tiny fairies!"

"Merida, please try to calm down," Rapunzel said. She tucked a strand of her blonde hair that had escaped her braid behind her ear nervously. "Fighting won't get us anywhere."

"She's right." Jack flew above their heads. He grinned. "Ye better shut yer trap, lassie," he said, imitating Merida's Scottish accent.

Merida balled her fist. "Ye dare insult me, eh, lad?" She summoned a ball of fire in her hand. "Ah'll make ye regret it, Frosty!"

Rapunzel and Hiccup hurriedly came in between the two. "Jack, you know it's not nice to shoot others with ice," Rapunzel soothed.

"And Merida," Hiccup gulped. "You don't want to set the North Pole on fire now, do you?"

Both Jack and Merida paused to consider, then seemed to give up and go back to their cocoa. The other two sighed. Another storm had passed. Hopefully they wouldn't be fighting anymore. But both Hiccup and Rapunzel knew that it was too far-fetched a thought for it to come true. They both looked at each other, shrugged, and went back to drinking their hot cocoa.
