It was 3 AM and as per every Black Friday, they always opened two hours earlier. Tonight they decided to all stay at Rapunzel's to ensure they all arrived in time for the opening. Rapunzel was the first to awake and gave her apartment a partial sweep in order to keep herself from worrying and making herself even more exhausted upon her arrival this evening. After emptying her dustpan into the bin, she made her way over to the countertop to fill the kettle up with water and place it on the stove.
After turning on the gas, she made her way up to her bedroom and grabbed her work wear, grabbing a hair band as she did so. Making her way into the bathroom, she innocently cursed as she tripped over a pair of socks Merida had left. She picked them up and placed them into the laundry hamper that was located left of the lavatory. After closing the lid, she went into the bathroom and closed the door after her, locking it in place. She first dropped the pair of pink pajama shorts she was wearing and the purple floral underwear to replace it with a clean pair of white briefs. Leaving the same bra on, she placed her white work T-shirt and slid on the black pencil skirt. After zipping up her skirt she grabbed a hairbrush from the side of the sink and began to brush through her knots, being careful not to pull on any loose strands. Completing her daily grooming, she braided her hair and tied it back into a classy bun.
Rapunzel has always taken good care in her blonde locks. She usually trimmed her own hair, but on the odd occasion that she would visit a hairdressers, they ravished in her beautifully cared for maine. The longest it had been in her life was just below her backside, but right now it merely reached her hip bones and was a healthy yet gorgeous length of 36 inches.
Merida was the first Rapunzel had woken up. Rapunzel knew that out of the four that she would take the longest. Although Merida didn't take as much pride in her hair as Rapunzel, she still couldn't deny she spent a huge amount of time taming her fiery locks. Rapunzel smiled at the scene of her three best friends sprawled out on the five seater sofa that her mother had bought her the year before she left for college, which was now an unfortunate memory after her acceptance letter had yet to come. She shook Merida gently, as to not startle her.
"Mer. Come on, you need to get up." Rapunzel cooed softly, giggling as she heard Hiccup take a slow snore.
Merida groaned and slowly lifted her arms to rub her eyes. Taking her arms down, she let out a rather loud yawn, earning a few more groans from Jack who had just awoken from his slumber.
"Okay, well I suppose I don't have to be quiet anymore," Rapunzel stated. "Hiccup. Wake up!" Rapunzel yelled, causing her brown haired friend to fall to the floor in an amusing stumble.
"I'm making coffee. Hiccup, I'll leave breakfast to you." Rapunzel stated, stepping over her friend and joining Jack who had lazily made his way to the kitchen.
"What time is it?" Jack asked, turning his phone on to answer his own question. "Three o'clock?! Why the hell are we up so early?" Jack questioned, burying his head in his arms.
"It's Black Friday." Rapunzel replied matter-of-factly, pouring a cup of coffee for him.
He looked up at her and gave her a nod as if to say thank you. "Yeah, I know but we don't open until five."
"Yes, but we have to get ready and then we have to get the diner ready, and we have to make sure the cookers are clean and that none of the food is out of date and that-"
"Yeah alright, Punz," Jack chuckled lightly, not-so-secretly finding her babbling a cute habit whilst taking a sip of his hot beverage.
Hiccup and Merida were both sprawled out on the floor at this moment and both weren't showing signs of getting up anytime soon.
"Do you think they'll be okay without us?" Merida asked hazily.
"Yeah." Hiccup replied.
"I mean, I know it's black friday but-"
"Wait, what?!" Hiccup shot up with widened eyes. "Damn it, I forgot! We need to get up! Come on." Hiccup ran to the kitchen and grabbed a cup of coffee, almost spilling it as he went back into the lounge to grab his bag of clothes and rushing into the bathroom to get changed.
Merida sighed as she rose from the floor. She slumped into the kitchen, holding the comforter close to her chest.
"You know, the bed hair and the under eye bags is a real good look for you."
"Oh bite me, Jack," Merida retorted, thanking Rapunzel as she placed a cup of coffee beneath her nose.
"Be nice guys. The last thing we need is to get into an argument before we go to work." Rapunzel sang, giving a smile to both of her friends as she sat on Jack's lap.
"Excuse me, I'm trying to drink my coffee." Jack joked, bouncing her on his lap.
Rapunzel gasped slightly as her coffee almost spilled over her.
"Hey!" She hissed, feigning anger.
They both laughed at each other. No one could lie that there was a connection between Jack and Rapunzel, they were basically in a relationship that neither of them knew about. The only thing that they haven't done that couples do is have sex. They've kissed before, granted in a game of truth or dare, or spin the bottle, but they have. It was much different with Merida and Hiccup. Hiccup had told Merida in the past that he liked her, but at the time her parents weren't too keen on dating, well unless he was approved by them, and Merida didn't want to put Hiccup in that predicament. There wasn't anything stopping them now, but neither had bought up the situation as of late, so right now they remained as very good friends.
Hiccup made his way back into the kitchen and sat down. His hair was ruffled slightly and his clothing was perfectly ironed, a very normal thing for Hiccup.
"Aren't you guys going to get ready? This is the most important day of the year." Hiccup asked, addressing Merida and Jack.
"Well, I would if the blonde chick on my lap would get off."
"Jack Frost, I don't think you've ever asked a girl to stop bouncing on your penis."
Rapunzel blushed and lifted herself off of Jack whilst Jack just merely rolled his eyes and took his bag of clothes into the bathroom.
"So, Hiccup," Rapunzel started, "That nice girl from Macy's was asking about you when I went there last night."
"What 'nice girl'?" Hiccup questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"You know! That girl. Her name was like Astro or something cool and exotic like that."
"Oh! Astrid. Was she? What did she ask?"
Merida nudged Rapunzel in the hip, making her take a moment to readjust herself from the pain she had just endured.
"What?" Rapunzel whispered. Merida widened her eyes in order to send a message. "Oh. Relax Mer, I'm pretty sure she's gay."
Merida wasn't totally at ease, but she was glad that she at least seemed like a lesbian. Rapunzel turned back to Hiccup who was sharing a confused look with Merida.
"Care to share?" Hiccup asked.
"That rhymed!" Rapunzel laughed, using her giggidy personality to change the subject.
Hiccup was about to question further when Jack stated, "Your turn, Red."
Merida lifted herself from her seat, her red cheeks settling down as she stepped into the bathroom to get changed.
/I don't know man it was a filler ;-; /
