(So, I just got a review from someone in my email, about how there is no jackunzel or merricup. The answer is simple: I do not like jackunzel, I prefer Rapunzel with Flynn. Also, in Brave, if Merida goes through so much just to make it so she doesn't have to marry, why would she suddenly like someone? Okay, I sorta like merricup, but not enough to make them together. I prefer Hiccup with Astrid. I'm sorry, I hope you all can respect that.)

Within the first month of the two season spirits joining the Academy, they couldn't help but notice whispers about some two or even a third girl around them from the others. Even the more powerful ones seemed to talk about these girls. Jack and Valentine, being curious, decided to ask the others about this.

Out in the courtyard before Drama, the group always met up and talked while doing whatever homework they may have been assigned, if they could do it. As Hiccup and Merida walked over though, Jack instantly began throwing questions at the two, who looked confused for a few moments, but finally understood what he was talking about.

Merida smirked. "Abou' time ya heard 'bout the troop." She joked, and Hiccup nodded, laughing nervously. "Well, who are they? And why does everyone talk about them?" Valentine asked, moving closer and seemingly interested. "Well, there's Flame Inferno, who literally burns everything she touches. He clothes needed to be made out of fireproof material in order to keep them from bursting into flames. Because of this, most people tend to stay away from her."

"The other girl, who is the middle aged one, is Amaya Capala wh-"

"Amaya is here?!" Jack yelled, which made the other three jump. Once relaxed, Valentine sighed, and nodded. "I knew she sounded familiar from the rumors…"

Hiccup and Merida exchanged looks, when Merida finally spoke up and said, "Ya know Amaya?" Jack and Valentine both nodded, the white haired boy crossing his arms and chuckling. "Let's just say, me and her don't get along very well."

"Maybe that's because you decided to cause trouble for her."

Jack chuckled and nodded, while the two across from them just exchanged looks once again, becoming confused as to what their winter spirit friend might have done to get the girl who controlled rain and thunder after him.

"Well, we better head to Drama, we still have quite a bit practicing to do!" Valentine said, standing up and smiling a bit, and the others agreed, heading to the auditorium now.

"Hey, come her everyone!" Rapunzel called to them once she spotted them when they walked in. She had come here early, and had been helping work on costumes for the characters, not only to fit the original roles, but along with each person and their personality and what they like. "I want you to try these on and tell me what you think! Don't worry, no one else will be seeing you in these till final rehearsal and the show, so don't worry about it! Go try them on and tell me what you think!" The hyper blonde handed them their costumes, and shoved them into the next room, which had a few stalls for changing in.

"She seemed rather excited." Hiccup commented once the door was slammed shut behind them, and Merida broke down laughing. "When is blondie not?!" Hiccup nodded in defeat, and laughed a bit as well. Valentine and Jack just smiled, when Jack started to head for one of the stalls. "Well, we better try these on quickly so we don't miss anything."

"Like what? They can't do much without the lead roles." Valentine chuckled a bit, and went into a stall near the corner, were Merida took the one next to her. "If I catch ya peakin' in, I'll strangle ye! Got that?" She threatened, before shutting the door behind her, and the boys could just hear Valentine breaking down in laughter, which made Jack smile.

Hiccup noticed this, and shook his head, making his way into the stall. He'll talk to Jack later about it, since he didn't want to embarrass him or anything.

The pink haired spirit was the first out, having been the first one in to get ready, and walked over to the full length mirror, and just stared in awe. The dress was a very light pink, and it didn't go out too much at the bottom of the dress. The bottom was the same but more silky, the chest had a few stones sewn onto it, and it had sleeves that ended before her elbow so she could bend them with ease. The heals on her shoes weren't very high, and the material it was made out of made it seem like glass, it was even see through, but they didn't hurt to walk in.

Merida walked out next, fixing her dress, which was a rather simple navy blue dress that hugged her body a bit, not noticing Valentine right away, but when she did, the red haired teen froze. "Whoa. Val, ya look jus' like a princess!" She blushed, and moved away from the mirror so Merida could look at herself in her outfit, but the girl just couldn't believe how amazing this girl looked.

Hiccup came out now, grumbling as he was trying to fix his own outfit, which was rather simple like Merida's and having a colour scheme of brown and green, when he looked up and saw the two girls, and almost fell over because he wasn't paying attention to what he was doing. "Oh, geez!" He said, trying not to fall.

Merida hurried over to his side and helped him stand, saying, "Careful of ye leg!" Valentine looked at them confused, when Hiccup nodded, and soon regained his balance. "Is there something wrong with your leg?" She asked, and Hiccup looked up briefly before looking back down at his left leg. "Oh, uhh, n-no. It's fine. I just hurt it before you guys came is all." Valentine sighed, not believing him but decided not to press on.

"'Ey Jack, hurry up! Come out 'n see ye princess!" Merida yelled in a joking tone, and the spirit girl's face turned a bright red. "D-don't say that!" She said hurried and in a low tone, and the two already out started laughing.

"Uhhh," Jack said from the other side of the door, "I'd rather not go out and show you guys. I probably look weird." "Get out here now, or I will charge in 'n drag ya out!" Jack groaned, and after a few seconds he came out. He walked out, still adjusting his outfit a bit to try to look less stupid.

"Ay boy! You look jus' like a prince!" Merida exclaimed, smiling widely and crossed her arms against her chest. Hiccup nodded, shaking his head. "I think you could fool anyone into thinking you were one too." Jack shook his head, chucking nervously. His costume was mainly blue, white and brown. He wore a dark navy blue cape that went down to his ankles. He wore a short sleeved half overshirt, which had a light blue stripe on the edges of the cloth, and the neck was similar to a turtle neck. Underneath it, was a darker blue shirt which was much more fitted than the half over shirt, and had long sleeves. His pants were a dark and pale brown, and his shoes were black.

Hiccup gestured for Jack to turn around, and Merida nodded. After a moment, he did, and saw Valentine in her ball gown costume. They stared at each other, for what seemed like eternity to the two, when there was a knock at the door and made the two jump. Merida bust out laughing, while Hiccup laughed a bit, and called, "Come in!"

Rapunzel stuck her head in, grinning widely, which soon turned to awe as she entered the room with her friends in their costumes. "You all look amazing!" She cheered, and Merida walked over to her, putting an arm around her shoulder. "It's your costumes!" Rapunzel laughed cheerfully, not noticing Jack and Valentine whose faces had gone beat red.

"Ah! I know! We should rehearse really fast in our costumes! When Cinderella gets to the ball, and the Prince and her dance before midnight! I'll go make sure it's okay with the teacher, since class is almost over with! Oh! I'm also going to send in the other two, since they are required in this scene as well! Be right back!" She called cheerfully, leaving just as fast as she came, and Merida chuckled, shaking her head. "What are we gonna do with 'er?" Hiccup shrugged, and so did Valentine and Jack.

After a moment, they heard the doorknob turn and the door open up. They looked, and saw Amaya and Flame standing there. Amaya, who was much shorter and younger than Flame, had brown hair and brown eyes, and wore an expressionless look on her face, and her skin was a fair skintone. Flame was older and taller than her, and the two were very noticeable out in a crowd.

Amaya saw Jack, and her eyes flashed yellow for a second, before walking over to one of the stalls, and silently closing the door behind her, Flame going into the one next to her. They friends exchanged looks, and shrugged, uncertain what to do in this situation. Luckily, Rapunzel came in just then with her costume in her arms, and told them to go out and wait on the stage for her and the other two, which they did.

The auditorium was now empty, even the teacher wasn't there, due to her giving her students space and claiming that it helps them act better, because then they need to help each other and fix their own mistakes. Well, it has worked so far for the plays, since every year they came out successful.

Rapunzel soon came out, wearing a dress similar to Merida's except in a more purple colour. Amaya and Flame soon followed, Amaya dressed in a black cloak, wearing a grey dress underneath it. Flame had on a strapless, and fitted red dress, with a cloth draped over her shoulders. "Alright! Let's begin!" Rapunzel said cheerfully.

Everything was running smoothly. They all knew their lines, and were to be on stage and everything, and then the time came Cinderella and the Prince were supposed to dance together. Valentine's heart started to race, as did Jack's, but both stayed perfectly in character. They held hands, Jack putting his other on Valentine's waist, and hers on his shoulder, and music started playing, which at the moment was Amaya's job to turn on, and the two started dancing with the music.

They were shy at first, but then soon got into the hang of it, and for that moment, the two actually looked like a prince and a princess dancing. "Are you sure this is their first time dancing?" Rapunzel asked Merida, breaking character on accident. The red head shrugged, smiling slightly. Their feelings for each other were clear to everyone but each other.

The scene finished with the bells chiming midnight, and Rapunzel telling everyone it was enough for today. Everyone started heading for the changing room, well except for Jack, who grabbed onto Valentine when she tried walking towards the changing room. He waited till everyone was in there, before walking over to the edge of the stage and grabbing his staff, as well as closing the curtains most of the way, in case someone came out.

Valentine looked at him confused as he walked back over to her, looking away from her and at the ground, till finally he stopped in front of her and looked up at her face, half grinning shyly. "Would you like to dance for a bit longer?" The winter spirit asked, holding his hand out for Valentine to take. She blushed, looking down at his hand briefly, then nodding, taking his hand with her own.

Jack put both his hands on her waist this time, and she put hers around his neck and shoulders, and they started slowly dancing. It was silent, but it wasn't an awkward silence either. It was like that for a few moments, the two just looking at each other and into their eyes. Neither was about to admit their feelings.

"I forgot to tell you, that you look beautiful in that." Jack finally said, having to have gained a whole lot of courage just to say that. Valentine blushed some more, and looked away briefly. "Th-thank you…. You look really handsome like that. You should dress up more often.." The two laughed a bit, as if it were a little joke. "I'll dress up like this, only if you dress up like that too, it's only fair."

Again, there was silence, and they both lost track of how long they had been like that. They stopped dancing after a while, and Jack gently put his free hand on Valentine's face, causing her to blush a bit more. Slowly, they got closer to each other, until they could feel each other's breaths….

"'Ey losers!" Merida called, suddenly opening the curtains. Jack and Valentine moved apart so fast, and both screamed out, "Nothing!" their faces beat red. Merida laughed, and joked how their faces were redder than her own hair, and made the statement that her and the others were hungry and for them to hurry and get changed.

Valentine rushed into the changing rooms with Merida following behind, while Jack stayed out on the stage for a bit. He sighed in frustration, and set the staff on his shoulder, shaking his head, before slowly heading into the changing rooms as well.
