Here's the next chapter! Yeah! It's been really fun writing this. And I apologize ahead of time if characters seem out of character. I'm trying to keep them true to their personalities. I hope you enjoy it. And please PLEASE write reviews. I love hearing what people have to say or hear theories. (I know there are some who want to know what pairings there are going to be but I don't want to give that away. Takes away from the aww! factor.)

ENJOY! XD

The young dark haired boy was dreaming of robots. Every shape and size. Red, green, brown, and yellow. Even an odd one that looked like a soft marshmallow. He was going on fun and amazing adventures with his metallic friends. They defeated the broccoli monster together and made friends with the King Canine and Queen Feline.

Around his room, the small night light danced across his posters of his favorite sci-fi characters and his love of robotics. It illuminated his dreams, his imagination, but it failed to lite the dark corners of the room. From out of the shadows, Pitch appeared grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh! What a fun little dream," he slinked over to the bed. "So friendly, so lighthearted. All that's missing is a touch of fear."

He laughed as he touched the robots one by one, transforming them into horrid monsters. Pitch's adrenaline rushed at the sight of the Oriental boy cringe in pain and fear. Squirm and lash out against his dream. Pitch was ecstatic to see five dark horses manifest in front of him.

"I picked the perfect dream to end my time on this continent," Pitch smiled happily. The horses pranced around him gaily, waiting to be told what to do. "Five from one dream. This kid has one big imagination. And each and every one of you absolutely gorgeous."

He took a firm grip of one of the Nightmares that encircled his head and starred directly into its eyes. "Now call the others I've gathered here, and join the rest at headquarters." The Nightmare nodded and galloped out the window, quickly followed by hundreds of others. "I now have the other continents to attend to."

"North," Elinor threw open the doors. "Anything yet?"

North scrambled to catch the porcelain doll he was holding from falling on the floor and shattering. "Elinor! Knock! How many times do I have to say it?"

"Sorry."

"Anything on what?" North asked as he put the doll up.

"Jack's sister?"

"Nothing!" North threw up his hands exasperated. "I have watched the globe, nothing. Read everything I could about hiding under radar, didn't help. I don't know what's left."

"You read everything on radar?" Elinor cocked an eyebrow dubiously. "Within a few days?"

North paused and looked at Elinor, darting his eyes back and forth. "Well," he laughed. "Ok, not everything. But what I've read doesn't help us. Not one bit!"

"North," Elinor held the bridge of her nose. "You've been trying to solve this for eighteen years…"

"Yes! But since Jack was attacked maybe there's-"

"There's been no change," she interrupted. "You thought the same thing five years ago. 'Something new would show up' but nothing has." North's face fell, knowing she was right. "I know you mean well, and by no means give up on your search. Just know there might not be anything different and try to find another solution. Maybe Pitch knows how to hide from us."

"If he has, we're in bigger trouble than I thought. We wouldn't be able to detect him if he attacked." North's words instilled worry in his heart and he sprang from his seat. "Phil! Keep your eye on that globe! We must know if Pitch shows up!"

"Oh North," Elinor sighed.

"I am not going to let a single student or faculty get hurt Elinor," North said forcefully. "If you have any suggestions, please let me know."

"How about outside information?"

"What?" North cocked an eyebrow.

"From outside I normal parameters. Maybe something is showing up on their radar. Maybe they've noticed some strange going ons that we're missing. I can get my husband to keep an eye out."

North nodded his head in contemplation and began to pace the room. He mumbled to himself agreeing and disagreeing, trying to figure out if it would work at all. "Elinor! You are a genius! Yes! Good idea! How about Gobber too? He has friends on the outside."

"Agreed," Elinor nodded. "Have two different people. Maybe they will get something."

Jack was woken up by a combination of things. One was his stomach churning and tightening as if he was starving. Like he hadn't eaten in days! The second was Toothless stretching and whacking the bed with his tail. Jack's eyes popped open as he fell from the bed and as he slowly stood up, he looked at the dragon in confusion; still in awe and shock that he was even in the presence of such a magnificent creature.

He then looked over to see Hiccup putting a book in his backpack. Jack rubbed his eyes and yawned as he asked, "What time is it?"

"Fifteen till eight. We need to get to class before Lady Elinor gets mad at us," Hiccup said and grabbed one last book before putting the backpack on and heading to the balcony. "Come on Toothless. We don't want Jack to be late on his first day in her class."

Jack's stomach growled loudly, causing Toothless' ear flaps to spring up in curiosity. "Is there time to get some food first? I feel like I've missed 10 meals. No wonder I feel so tired."

I understand you on that tired bit," Hiccup nodded. "I had what seemed like endless nightmares last night." Jack's stomach growled again and Hiccup grinned slightly. "We'll stop off at the cafeteria real quick and get something before class."

"Great!" Jack jumped up. "Just let me freshen up real quick." He ran to the bathroom and proceeded with his normal morning routine. "What is it that I'll be needing for my class?"

"Just a pencil and some paper. We are only going to be writing stuff," Hiccup shrugged. "You can borrow some of my supplies since I know you don't have any yet."

"Alright." Jack walked out of the bathroom, with not much change in his hair.

"The cafeteria and classroom are on the other side of the courtyard," Hiccup said and got onto Toothless' back. "Hop on." Hiccup gestured behind him.

Jack looked at the two uncertain. "Me? Ride on a dragon. Are you sure it's safe?"

"Yeah. I've been riding him for years. It's safe." Jack shrugged and hopped onto Toothless' back. Toothless let out a noise of displeasure. "It's only to other side," Hiccup patted Toothless' head. "I think you can survive. Let's go bud."

The dragon jumped from the banister and soon they were gliding over the school grounds. Jack smiled and enjoyed the quick flight across the courtyard. So this is what flying feels like. Awesome!

In no time, they were at the cafeteria and grabbed a couple of bagels. Before Jack could finish one bite, they were at their first class. What surprised Jack though, was that Toothless just followed Hiccup into the room.

"Okay, a little weird," he mumbled but also followed.

Inside were a lot of kids Jack had never seen before and some he already had. He spotted Rapunzel and Merida talking to the Thumbelina girl and he followed Hiccup over to where they were chatting. When he walked up, the girls turned and Rapunzel smiled at the boys.

"I see you met Hiccup," Rapunzel smiled.

"And Toothless," Jack nodded. "Thanks for the warning," he winked playfully.

"I am so sorry," Rapunzel put her hand to her mouth. "I knew I was forgetting something."

"It's fine. I think we're good now." Jack patted Toothless' head, for which he received a warning growl. "Or not."

"Alright class. Time to start," Lady Elinor said as she came to the front of the classroom.

"You can sit next to me," Hiccup said and pointed to a desk to his left.

"Thanks," Jack said and took the seat.

Merida sat to his left and Rapunzel sat diagonally from her. He looked to where Lady Elinor, the bear lady, was writing the objective on the white board. "To day will be a trip down memory lane. I want you write a memoir of the pleasant memory you have. Whatever makes you happy when you think about it."

Jack smiled. This is easy. I've got plenty. Rapunzel thought for a second then her face lit up with excitement as did Merida's when she got a memory.

Lady Elinor walked down the aisle and stood between Hiccup and Jack. "Hiccup," Lady Elinor said softly.

"Yes?" Hiccup asked.

"You don't have to do this assignment."

Hiccup nodded and pulled out his journal and began to draw.

Jack cocked an eyebrow at this. He watched Lady Elinor walk back to the front of the room in confusion. Why doesn't he have to do the assignment?

Jack let the question go and began to write. He did continued to look at Hiccup questioningly when he noticed Hiccup was moving his head a lot. It kept going up and down as if looking at something. What is he drawing?

Jack looked in the direction that Hiccup was looking and smiled.

Jack felt eyes on him and looked to see Lady Elinor staring at him intently. He looked down on his paper and began to write again but then stopped. What he was writing about was him and Emma the first time they went camping, which only made him begin to worry and no longer focused on the assignment. How can I write when she's out there getting hurt? When she's scared.

He couldn't stand remembering the look of fear on her face as that big brute, Mord'u, held her in that dangerous tight grip. He shook his head several times and closing his eyes didn't seem to help either. It just made the image burn in the back of his eyelids even more.

Eventually his, non-purposeful actions grabbed the attention of Rapunzel and she just stared at him. Now she was distracted by him and she brought out her sketch book. She carefully began sketching out his form and the expression on his face, hoping that no one would notice.

Jack's eyes popped open, and the entire class' concentration were interrupted when a pair of twins broke the silence.

"Ugh!" the boy sighed. "I can't believe it. You mean read and write!"

"While we're still alive?" the girl twin finished.

"Yeah?" another dark haired boy added. "Why read and write when we can just do the stuff we read and write about?"

"Silence!" Lady Elinor projected then turned into a bear and roared. The three immediately went quiet and went back to their writings. As Elinor went back to her human form, the other students also went back to their writings.

For nearly twenty minutes, Rapunzel was able to get away with drawing instead of writing and soon her drawing was nearly completed. She would have finished it if Lady Elinor didn't call the papers up.

All the kids passed up their stories and she let them out one by one. "Hiccup," Elinor said as he passed her. "Don't forget your meeting with North today."

"I never do ma'am," Hiccup smile. "Toothless never lets me forget."

Elinor nodded and motioned them to continue. She then proceeded to release the students until she got to Jack and Rapunzel.

"Hold on, you two," she said, looking at their papers. "I may not be capable of reading minds, but from what I can see, something is on yours. Do you mind telling me what it is and why this is all you wrote, Jack?"

She held the paper up and he stared at the unfinished sentence he had written. It said, One time, my sister and I had a surprise camping trip to a lake. She had never been camping before and I was determined to… He grabbed the paper and sighed.

"I'm sorry, but I just can't concentrate, not since my sister was kidnapped," he said. "I can barely think of anything but wanting to find her."

"I understand, Jack, but you will need to also do the work. North is doing his best. The moment something comes up, he will tell you. You can trust him. He will do everything in his power to help," Lady Elinor explained. "Besides, you can never stop learning."

"I know," he sighed and tried to smile, "and I will definitely try to do better."

She nodded at the boy. "Alright, you may go. Rapunzel, I still need to talk to you."

"I'll wait for you if you want," Jack said to her.

"It's okay. I'll meet up with you later," she said and smiled as he shrugged and walked out.

"Rapunzel, why is it that you only stopped halfway? Your paper was very well written then you just stopped," Elinor said. "Can you please explain to me why?"

"Well…I got inspired to draw something," Rapunzel said. She crossed her arms in front of her body and clasped her hands as she swayed slightly. "And you know how I am when I get inspired. I just have to draw."

"If that's so, then may I see your drawing?"

"Uh…it's not finished and I really don't like showing unfinished work," she said, evading her eyes.

Lady Elinor cocked an eyebrow. "Very well. But I want to see it eventually."

"Alright," Rapunzel agreed.

"Go on."

Rapunzel left the classroom and went to the cafeteria to join her friends. Merida and Jack were sitting at a table and she joined them.

"Your mother is scary," Jack said to Merida.

"Tell me about it," Merida rolled her eyes. "At home, she's all 'being proper is the best way' and 'proper grammar is the way of the world'."

"Sounds like dulls-ville."

Merida shrugged. "At times she's right but it does get annoying at times."

Rapunzel sat down next to Merida. "You excited for your first day of training?"

"I think so. It's later this afternoon right?"

"Yep," Merida nodded. "5 PM. And don't be late." She narrowed her eyes threateningly at him.

"I won't," Jack said putting his hands up defensively. "Why are you so concerned?"

Rapunzel giggled. "Because she's your first round of training."

"Prepare to get your butt kicked," Merida smiled competitively.
