Rapunzel gave Jack his staff back, but the winter spirit wouldn't dare raise it to Rapunzel's frying pan.
Those things, man.
The sun was setting, and Rapunzel assured her new friends mother wouldn't be back until a few days. This gave Jack and Merida plenty of time to clean their mess together. And Hiccup made sure they worked together.
"It would be great if you two talked." Hiccup had suggested, "But it's up to you two." Five minutes in Merida broke the ice. "I'm sorry I hit you. I shouldn't expect you to take my insults easy when I can't do the same." She had said.
It threw Jack off because he'd been thinking about saying something so long it was literally clawing at his throat. "I was pretty relentless." He spat, sweeping up some glass. The shards couldn't penetrate his bare feet and he was relieved Rapunzel didn't step on any. "Also… "
Jack fumbled. He wanted to explain that he was just hurt Merida forgot about him, but his pride clung to that fact so vehemently it made the words never come out. He'd never show vulnerability in front of her. "… I just got real mad that you complained about winter so much."
Merida threw away the remainder of broken furniture and put a hand on Jack's snowy hair before ruffling it up. "I promise not to beat you senseless every time you get on my nerves, if you promise to stop holding things against me, snow fairy." Jack swats at her hand with a grin, "Deal, princess."
He was relieved they didn't have to completely play nice.

Rapunzel sat in the windowsill, watching Toothless shake his tail wildly at sight of Hiccup accompanying her. Her eyes locked on the beast's tail and Hiccup's leg. "Looks like you both took a few beatings."
Hiccup laughed nervously, eying his squeeky false apendage. "Yeah…"
"It's adorable. Matching handicaps?"
Hiccup smirked.
"So do you really think you'll find a cure for your Dad?" The blonde rakes her fingers through her hair, knowingly.
Hiccup frowned. "Did Merida tell you which cure we're looking for?" When Rapunzel shook her head the Viking sighed. "I used to read this book… it told alot of collected legends around the world. One of the stories describes a pretty interesting healing method."
"You put your faith in a legend…?" Rapunzel asks, unable to mask her admiration for how exciting Hiccup's life must be if he's chasing fairy tales.
"My mum used to tell me not to underestimate legends." Merida and Jack approached, now in on the conversation.
"Well," Hiccup continued, "The story told about a beautiful golden flower, that came from the sun." Rapunzel smiled warmly at the thought. "And they say if you sing to the flower, it glows bright and can heal wounds, rewind aging, and cure sickness."
Rapunzel's smile slowly faded. "We're in the area it was said to be, I heard the same story from a kingdom near by ages ago." Jack said. Rapunzel's heart pounded as her eyes scanned all over her heaps of hair.
She was the flower. She was what Hiccup needs to save her father. And he didn't even know! And he stumbled on in, whacked with her frying pan— Rapunzel's head spun. Was it destiny?
"Are you ok, Rapunzel?" Merida asked. The blonde looked wide eyed at the asker before glancing down at Toothless. The dragon was curled up beside Angus now.
"You guys… I think I can help the dragon."

Everyone was on the ground, except Rapunzel. They stared up at the window watching her struggle. "It will be ok, Blondie!" Jack called, giving her the thumbs up.
Hiccup pet Toothless, the dragon swayed anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new friend.
Merida had her palm pressed to her chest, worried Rapunzel may chicken out. Jack wanted to tell her she looked like Queen Elinor, but settled for "Calm down, mom."
Finally ribbons of golden hair sailed over the edge and Rapunzel took grip and slid down. Pascal came along for the ride.
When Rapunzel's foot touched a patch of grass, the snow was melting in these parts, everyone breathed out.

At first everyone questioned what the tower maiden was up to, but Rapunzel asked them to give her time to calm down because she was sort of freaking out right now.
After a few moments of panic, Toothless calmed her nerves by leaping to her and nuzzling her. Hiccup watched surprised. Pascal was scared off at sight of a lizard bigger than him and sought refuge in Merida's hair.
So many questions lingered when Rapunzel started wrapping her hair around Toothless's wing. She asked them to trust her and they found no reason not to. And then she sung.
"Flower gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine."
Her voice melted everyone's hearts, but they shot back up when every strand of hair began to glow. It drifted slowly around the dragon's wing, making Toothless grunt in surprise. The gold hue in blunt contrast to obsidian dragon skin.
"Heal what has been hurt
Change the fate's design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine, what once was mine…"

The sun was completely set, and once the gold glow died down the group settled in darkness and silence.
