Chapter 6
Woo-hoo! Best. Day. Ever! Rapunzel cried at the top of her lungs.
Jack, Rapunzel, Merida, Hiccup and Toothless were flying toward the sky.
The winter Sprite had to admit it. That he was having fun flying with his new friends. He smiled as Rapunzel giggled as she let her hand stretch up towards the clouds.
Merida had her head back and her arms out, enjoying the wind blowing on her skin and through her wild hair. Hiccup glanced over to the redhead, it was clear that Merida was loving this.
"Oh there it is", they heard Rapunzel call out and point below. They looked down to see the seaside town, instantly as they flew they began to descend, landing in a car park that was next to the beach.
"So, how was your first flight?" Jack asked Rapunzel after she let go, she started jumping up and down on the pavement.
"Oh, it was so much fun, I can't believe I did it", Rapunzel replied gleefully before she turned and gasped ", Oh look over there!"
"Hey, hey, slow down!" Jack said in surprise as Rapunzel grabbed his arm and pulled him along with her,
Hiccup and Toothless watched them leave before seeing that Merida was standing next to railings, looking down to the sea.
"So. How was it? Your first time flying I mean!" Hiccup asked when he joined her. She sighed and held her head up.
"It was amazing" Merida said smiling, holding on to the bars, swinging slowly from side to side.
"Yeah, it's a great feeling. No matter how many times I'm up there, it never gets old," Hiccup said. He then glances over to Merida and saw the wind blowing her curly hair, he thought to himself how lovely she was and that her hair was fantastic. Hiccup stopped himself by shaking his head and looking at the ocean. The two them stood and watched the sea for awhile until Hiccup broke the silence.
"You know, looking at the sea reminds me of home."
"Me too, it just like home" Merida sighed softly, "I think Angus would love to run across this beach."
"Who's Angus?" Hiccup asked, he really was interested in getting to know her more.
"My horse" Merida answered "he and I would go riding when we can"
"Yeah that's sounds like what Toothless and I do" Hiccup said smiling.
"You know, I've always wondered what it is like to fly, up among the clouds, soaring with birds, touching the sky" she said dreamily. "Sometimes when me and Angus are riding, I pretend I'm flying across the sky, on a dragon is better than what I've ever imagined"
"Yeah, I can't imagine life without Toothless now, he's my best friend" Hiccup said as he looked over to his dragon who was busy chasing seagulls. Both teens laughed at the Night Fury's antics.
"I think my brothers would love messing with Toothless" Merida then commented.
"You have brothers?"
"Triplets, Harris, Hubert and Hamish"
"It was just me and my dad and you could say we didn't have a great relationship"
"Really?" Merida then said. She was curious about this boy. Not only about him and his dragon but about him as a person.
"Yes but after I met Toothless, me and my dad ended up working things out, even though he was angry, he used Toothless to find the dragon's nest and nearly got killed by the Red Death. We're good now" Hiccup explained, he could see how shocked Merida looked. "You probably wouldn't understand..."
"No I do, it's actually similar with me and my mum" Merida quickly said.
"Oh w...what happened?" Hiccup asked
Merida took a deep breath before she began "Well me and my mum never saw eye to eye and after one terrible argument, I ended up turning her into a bear and it nearly ended up destroying my family, but my mum change back and the kingdom was saved. Even now mum still has her queenly moments, are relationship is great, I'm even teaching her archery, she's not the best but she trying"
"Wait...Queen! Your mother is a queen" Merida heard Hiccup exclaim and turned to see a gob smacked Hiccup, even Toothless looked gob smacked.
"Ur...Aye Merida said awkwardly. She didn't want to tell them about being a Royal because people instantly treated her differently and she hated it.
"So that makes...oh I'm sorry your highness" Hiccup instantly said and began bowing, "If I knew I...I...I would have..."
"Please stop. You don't have done that" She quickly said shaking her hands.
Hiccup stopped and looked up "oh sorry Mer, I just didn't know" he apologised as he stood up, rubbing his neck sheepishly.
Hearing what he called her, Merida couldn't help but smile at him. She never had a nickname before and she thought it was sweet of him "It's ok...Hic,"
He wasn't sure what to say when she called him Hic. No one had given him a nickname so it warmed his heart to hear this.
Meanwhile, Rapunzel gazed in wonder around the seaside town. Amazed by all the people, all the shops and everything else that she could see. Jack tried to keep up with the golden hair girl even though she was dragging him along. She finally stopped at a bakery and looked at the cakes and cupcakes.
The winter Sprite was relieved when Rapunzel stopped and let go of him, he could finally catch his breath. Baby Tooth fluttered up to Jack, checking on him. Jack smiled to his fairy friend, showing her he was alright, a bit tired but ok.
"Pascal, look how pretty these are" Rapunzel said to the chameleon who was on her shoulder then she noticed the shop next door, she instantly went over to a flower shop and smell the Sweet Peas. "I wish I had my paints and papers, so I can remember this place"
"Well maybe you can ask Maria or Sally if they can give you a notebook or drawing pad. I'm sure they won't mind" Jack suggested.
"Yeah I'll ask them" Rapunzel said smiling at Jack and he returned the smile. "So Jack, what's your world like? what do you do?" Rapunzel asked him, she wanted to get to know Jack.
Jack laughed a bit before saying "Well...where to start? First of all, my world is the same as here, the only different is that, there I'm a guardian.
"Guardian of what?" Rapunzel asked
"A guardian of childhood" the winter Sprite could see the confusion on Rapunzel's face and on Pascal too. Jack looked over to the fairy who gesture to tell them, he breathed before he began "Have you ever heard of Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy or Sandman" Rapunzel nodded and Jack continued "They're guardians also and it's our job to protect children. At first I didn't want to be part of them, they were all hard work and deadlines and I'm..."
"Snowballs and fun times" Rapunzel suddenly said.
Jack couldn't help but smile at this "Yeah exactly, but after helping them, I found out where I belong"
Rapunzel was about to respond when they heard two boys yelling and they ran past them, a girl chasing them trying to catch up with them. What happened next not only shocked Rapunzel but Jack as well? The girl ran right toward Rapunzel like she wasn't here.
"Wh...What happened" was all that she said. The winter Sprite knew what she was feeling. He was invisible to mortals until they believed in him, for most of his life, he lived without being seen. So seeing the golden haired girl confused and scared, his heart went out to her.
"Hey, it's ok, you're going to be ok" Jack said softly, Rapunzel ran to him and hugged him as she sobbed. Jack was taken back but he wrapped his arms around her, comforting her.
"Jack, Rapunzel" Jack lifted his head and turned to see Sally, Maria, Charlie and Ollie rushing up to them with their bikes.
"Are you guys alright, where's Merida, Hiccup and Toothless" Maria asked them when the kids reached Jack and Rapunzel.
"We're fine but something just happened" Jack told them.
"What happened? Charlie asked
"Someone...came towards me" Rapunzel murmured weakly still shaking.
"What?" Maria said then she felt her arm being tugged. She found out who was pulling at her arm.
"Maria hasn't you noticed" Sally said.
"Noticed what?" Maria asked.
"Just look" Sally answered. Maria looked up and then realised what her sister meant. No one was looking at Rapunzel or Jack. Both of them would had drawn a huge crowd by now but all of the people would do there usually stuff.
"We'd better move we can't talk here with other people around" Charlie spoke up after he figured out what Sally said.
"You're right, we need to go somewhere quiet" Maria agreed.
So they led Jack and Rapunzel away until they reached a small park. They also found Merida, Hiccup and Toothless looking at a monument of a long boat.
"I'm not surprised to find you guys here" Maria said when they reach them.
"What, a Viking ship?" Jack asked
"Oh it's a lovely boat" Rapunzel commented looking it.
"Years ago, Vikings landed here and it's said that some stayed and married some local people" Sally told them about the town's history.
"Well back where I am from, we have lot of ships like this. Although there're a bit bigger and the heads of are more scared" Hiccup admitted and Toothless nodded in agreement.
"Wait a second, are you a Viking, Hiccup?" Jack asked. Hiccup felt the colours leave his face, not sure to tell them but thinking about it. The Collins kids knew already and Merida did tell him about her being a princess.
Hiccup shut his eyes and said reluctantly "yes, unfortunately I am one" he opened his eyes and to find all of them were looking at Jack who was smirking and was trying to hold in his laughter.
"Jack, it's nothing to laugh about" Rapunzel scolded him.
"Sorry but I thought Vikings were big and hairy and thirsty for blood" Jack said jokingly but the last part made Rapunzel tense.
"Most of the good Vikings are at home, minding their own business" Charlie then said
"Yeah and we would be too busy to think of raiding anywhere" Hiccup added
"With what?" Rapunzel asked and she saw the dragon's face. She understood why now.
At that moment, they all heard the town clock strike. Maria checked her phone, it said 11.00.
"Well maybe we'll get lunch then we can brainstorm on how to get you guys home" Maria announced
"Oh I wanted to ask, do you mind lending me a notebook or a drawing pad?" Rapunzel asked the girls.
"Well we'd love to but we don't have one right now" Sally said then added "but there's a shop that sell them in town"
As the group set off back to town, Merida, Hiccup and Toothless held back. Remembering what he told her.
"Are you sure you're a Viking?" Merida asked going close to him.
"Y...yes, why are you asking" Hiccup questioned blushing.
"Well you have manners and tenderness and you have no beard" she said as she gently touched his chin which caused Hiccup to blush more.
"I...I'm working on that" Hiccup laughed nervously.
Merida let go of his chin before saying "You know I've always wanted to meet a Viking"
"Really?" he asked in surprise.
She nodded before saying "Err, yeah and I know what it's like when someone is telling you to change but know you can't" The Redhead felt sorry for the Viking boy and found they had a lot in common. Hiccup couldn't help but smile to Merida and she smiled back "Well we'd better catch up with the others, come on you two" Merida said, seeing Jack, Rapunzel and the kids were far away. As she ran ahead, she thought that Hiccup had a cute smile.
Hiccup watched the redheaded and thought about her kind words but he then noticed Toothless was giving him a knowing smile.
"Toothless, I've just met her. Don't get the wrong idea" Hiccup said playfully shoving his dragon. The Night fury simply shrugged the two friends rushed after the others.
The Collins children led the teens toward the town until they reach the bakery, they got some pasties and sandwiches for lunch, Sally asked if her new friends wanted anything to eat. Jack of course said no but both Hiccup and Merida were confused by all the different food on the shelves and Rapunzel was delighted by the cupcakes.
They found a shop that sold fish; the dragon licked his lips when he saw the biggest fish in there, so the kids bought it but told Toothless that he can have it later.
They passed a stationary shop to buy a note book and some coloured pencils, Rapunzel picked a pretty pink book with a glittering rainbow on the cover, Sally pay for them.
The others waited outside and as soon as Sally and Rapunzel joined them they found a quiet place to talk. Sally, Maria, Charlie and Ollie were munching their lunch. Rapunzel was trying to get Jack to eat a cupcake, although Jack said no she didn't stop trying. Merida and Hiccup were trying ham sandwiches with tomato and lettuce.
"Where's Toothless?" Just as he said that, there heard a car alarm wailing. Then all at once they realised where the Night Fury was. Wasting no time, The Collins headed straight to the sound with the Big Four behind them. The kids knew the car park was nearby and when they reached it, they found the dragon roaring and pushing at a car with his front legs.
"Oh no what is he doing?" Sally said in shock putting a hand on her head. She and the other feared that the car would be destroyed and they'll be in real trouble but the car park was empty except for one woman who was about to get into her car. The woman didn't see the dragon attack a car, she just saw the car shaking with its and the alarm sounding off noisily.
"Toothless, down boy" Hiccup said to the dragon and managed to pull him away.
"Maybe we should head back to the Nan's house before anything else happens" Maria suggested, no one was against it. So they started the journey back up to the house, hoping there wouldn't be any more trouble.
