I don't own anything. I will try some romance, like dates, but I'm warning you now. I've only ever been on two dates in my entire life and I'm almost twenty years old! Well, hope you enjoy this chapter!

-Rapunzel P.O.V.-

Why did this have to happen to anyone?! No one deserves this, even if they make bad decisions. Hiccup has helped everyone here at some point in their lives. Even if he was just being himself he helped us. He helped me overcome my fear that came when I was kidnapped by Gothel. She believed that my hair was magic and I should never cut it. I was so scared to cut it, but he helped me realize that no one controls me.

-Flashback-

It's been about three weeks since we meet Hiccup and he fits right in, in our group. One day Jack had to go to the dentist and Merida was sick so it was just us when Hiccup asked, "Punzie, why haven't you ever cut your hair?"

I looked at him a bit surprised, but answered, "I can't."

Hiccup looked confused, "Why not?"

"When I was two years old I was kidnaped by a woman named Gothel. I lived with her till I was eight years old when I was found by Jack and Merida wandering around the woods. Well, Gothel told me to never cut my hair and I have to listen to her because she took care of me for a few years of my life. I always listen to what she and my parents say. I never get to choose anything."

"Do you want to choose something in your life?"

"Of course, but Gothel said that the only ones capable of making decisions for me was the person or persons who knew me best."

"Who do you think they are?"

"My parents and Gothel. They are the ones who raised me."

"But are they you?"

I was confused, "What?"

"Are they you?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you have secrets that no one knows about? What about who you are when no one is around? Do they know any of that stuff?"

"Well, no."

"Then who do you think knows you best?"

"I told you my parents."

"But they don't know everything about you. They can't read your mind to find out why you are sad, happy, angry or whatever you are feeling. You are the only one who knows why unless you tell someone. So, what I'm trying to say is that, you are the person who knows who you are the best."

"Do you really think so?"

"Absolutely. Now, can you cut your hair?"

"Well, I can't do it by myself, but I might want to get it cut."

"Well, if you ever want it cut then call me up. I know a great way to do it."

-End Flashback-

A week later after I asked permission from my parents, because I am still a minor, Hiccup came to my house and gave me a pixie cut and I was able to die it brown as well. I was now being asked on a ton of dates, but I rejected all of them because they were asking me for my looks. I was waiting for a white haired friend to ask me. Hiccup even promised to help me with ideas on how to ask him. I am finally able to make decisions for myself, and I need to help Hiccup and Merida get together.
