Chapter 6

Apparently it wasn't too big of a coincidence because there they were, sitting at the bar, on the other side of the room.

Oh my gods! Hiccup thought, I just have to say hi to North and whoever is sitting with him!

And so he went, just as the startled waitress was bringing them menus and Jack was getting settled down in the booth. He grabbed Jack's arm and lead him to where North was siting, unaware. As soon as he could see North clearly, his eyes widened in shock. He knew who the person he was siting, rather close to, was. It was Gobber, the owner of this fine restaurant. Though Gobber himself was not very famous, more infamous than anything, Hiccup couldn't believe that North was having a chat with him like it was a normal, everyday thing.

Hiccup hesitated for a split second and in that second Jack spoke up.

"So, are you going to tell me where you dragged me to? I don't have my staff because you were in such a rush and I can't see, mind telling me where we are?"

Hiccup winced, knowing that North heard his roommate's voice. North had the hearing of Night Fury. A Night Fury was a dragon Hiccup made up for his brother's bedtime stories when he was smaller; he considered them the fastest, the strongest, and the best hearers compared to the other dragons. You know, the ones in story books and such (though in storybooks they don't usually brag about the hearing range of dragons, it was more like, "And the prince slayed the mighty beast and everyone lived happily ever after, leaving the already dead caucus to let out a little confused 'roar' in question.") (Don't question it; there are some really weird books out there.)

He also made up other dragons like the Tiny Terror; similar dragons were later used in the movie How To Train Your Dragon, though Hiccup swears he came up with his version of dragons first. When he was younger he used to joke to his brother that the Tiny Terror was the strongest and scariest of all the dragons. His brother, of course, doing what only a person in his situation could do, laughed, and replied that a Tiny Terror would only be fearful if it bit someone's nose. Hiccup followed up with only one of the twins would be stupid enough to let a Tiny Terror bite them on the nose, because like dogs, Terror's were easy to get off if you knew where to press. * This back and forth banter about "Terror's" left their parents very confused. It was like the two boys were speaking another language. Hiccup shook himself out of his thoughts and remembered where he was and that his brother was an ocean away, waiting for him back home.

North turned around and saw Jack and it seemed his already big smile, from being with Gobber, widened, though Hiccup thought he saw some shock in those big blue eyes.

"Jacque! My boy, I thought I never see you again!"

Now it was time for Jack to widen his eyes in shock and recognition.

"No-North?! What are you doing here?"

"I actually might be able to answer that for him." Hiccup said seeing how North looked a little uneasy at Jack's question. How his roommate knew North was going to be on Hiccup's mind for a while. When Hiccup spoke, North looked down on him and his mountain leveling smile widened more.

"Hicpa! I had a feeling I would see you soon!"

"Suuure, 'you had a feeling'. You basically forced me to come to this school. And then when I am finally leaving you tell me 'I have a feeling I'll see you in the most unexpected situation'. And then you left. What the heck!?" You could tell through his unamused expression that he was mad.

North laughs nervously, and replied with, "Unexpected situation, ja?"

"Yes, I guess it is." Hiccup was never the type to stay mad for long. "Oh North I know I saw you only three days ago, but it felt like ages! I missed your hugs, Dad doesn't know how to do it right."

"You know that Stoick tries!" North said in a warning tone, though the big smile on his face made the statement feel false.

"Yes, I know… But I haven't had a true North hug in ages! Please, just one!" Hiccup pulled the puppy eyes and North gave in very quickly, he was never able to resist the puppy eyes from Hiccup. The two men, if you could call Hiccup a man since he did just successfully use the puppy eyes on a grown man, hugged tightly like they wouldn't see the other again in a long time.

When they finally separated Hiccup could tell that Jack, as well as Gobber, were a little shocked by the little display of emotion the two just showed after only being separated for a few days. Gobber was the first to talk, as Jack was too in shock to utter anything. After all, it was not everyday that your old mentor turns out to be really close friends with your roommate.

"North, I-I thought you said you had no kids and you never mentioned having a nephew. I mean, if he is yours that's fine, but I just thought…"

Hiccup took one long look at North and burst into side-spitting laughter. North chuckled lightly too, but shook his head no.

"Hicpa, my boy! No, no! Iz my friends son, old buddy from college. Found him on Facepage…No, that's not it, Facelook… No, Faceword…Handfoot?... I don't know, kids these days come up with crazy names for websites."

Now it was Jack's turn to laugh and for Hiccup to ask himself how he met these crazy people. And then his logical side arrived to the party and he couldn't help himself from saying: "You know it isn't the kids that name the websites, it's adults that make them and adults that name them. Also the name you were looking for was Facebook." Hiccup mulled it over in his head and said, "Though now that I think about it I agree that it is a weird name."

Hiccup then thought about other websites that he passed off as normal because he heard them so often from Astrid. Websites like Twitter, Tumblr, Vine, and Instagram. North was right; these websites had some stupid names. Jack's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Punzie!" Jack exclaimed, getting a huge grin on his face. "Is that you?"

Hiccup glanced all over, until his eyes finally landed on the waitress who should have been serving them if they hadn't gone and had a conversation with North and Gobber.

"You know Rapunzel too?!" Hiccup exclaimed in shock, recognizing his childhood friend from the pictures in the family room of his house.

"Yeah…"

The two moved closer and Hiccup could see that the once long flowing golden locks of his friend now were dusty brown and short. She looked up, and Hiccup was struck by the similarities between Astrid and Rapunzel. But not in their features, no, but in the grace and calmness both struck into Hiccup's heart. Now Astrid might not seem calm most of the time, but when you glimpse a second of that calmness in Astrid's expression, well, let's just say she has had a lot of boyfriends and they all got to see just that. Before Astrid dumped them, all of them.

"Hi." Rapunzel meagerly said, still not quite sure who they were. Then it dawned on her.

"Jack?"

She lunged into Jack's arms and Jack swung her around in delight.

"I can't believe it's you! You look so different! I thought you had died, or I don't know. Something worse." Here tears started to leak out of her eyes. "I thought that was the last time I would see you. I missed you and I never got to say good-bye." Sobs started to stain Jack's shirt.

"I'm sorry, I thought you knew. I told them to tell you. They told me they did. They told me they told you and that you were okay." Jack started to cry too, though he made no noise.

Hiccup just stood awkwardly, though that was nothing new, to the side and waited for them to realize he was there too. It was obvious that the two of them knew each other from before Jack had lost his sight and that Jack must have disappeared after that, probably to the hospital… It looked like Hiccup had something to think about for later. As well as how Jack knew North. Wow, Jack has a lot of secrets!

Jack and Rapunzel had stopped crying and they slowly detangled themselves from their hug.

"I think I got some of my tears on you." Rapunzel softly laughed.

"It's okay." Jack smiled softly.

Jack eyes stared down at Rapunzel, but not on her eyes, but on her cheek. Rapunzel stepped back as if she had been slapped.

"You can't see, can you? You can't see." Another tear slowly slid down Rapunzel's cheek.

"No, I can't. But it's fine. I'm fine." Jack put in extra effort to sound happy, though he wasn't. Not really.

Hiccup, sensing they needed a distraction walked forward and into Rapunzel's line of view, which was right over Jack's shoulder.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I forgot about you. What's your name?"

"My name is,"

"Hicpa."

"What?" Rapunzel said bewildered looking back and forth between the two boys.

"My name is Hiccup, not Hicpa. My friend, well more like second dad, North calls me Hicpa. I don't know why though, he never tells me."

"Jack, is he talking about North, your North?" Rapunzel asked worriedly.

"Yes, I just saw him, for the first time in years. He looks good, he looks happy."

"Well that's good, great in fact." Rapunzel smiled. Then she turned her attention back to Hiccup.

"So, who are you?"

Hiccup deflated, hoping she would remember even if he didn't, not really. Then he had an idea.

"Oh, why didn't think of this earlier! I totally forgot about it!" Hiccup said digging excitedly around in his satchel. He finally took out what he was looking for: his sketch pad. He flipped to the correct page and hid the picture to his chest.

"Now I know you don't remember me, but maybe this can help you guess." Hiccup told Rapunzel, who stared at him in confusion. He finally revealed the picture, a drawing in charcoal, which lacked in detail, but made up in the utter magnificence. Rapunzel gasped, and put her hands to her mouth in shock at the beautiful design before her.

"Can…can…can…I keep it?" She muttered, slightly worried Hiccup would respond with a 'no'. But he didn't, in fact it was the total opposite. He was thrilled.

"Sure, you can! I made it for you three years after you left when I re-found your peace offering."

Jack was again confused. Why did this keep happening to him! He always was lost when Hiccup knew someone Jack also knew. And it looked like (Well he couldn't really see, but you get the point!) they had a deep relationship. Since he had no idea what Hiccup was holding and what it looked like, he was very curious to know what the relationship was between them and the item. And a curious Jack meant a annoying Jack, so it came as no surprise, well maybe to Hiccup, when the next sentence he muttered was: "Hey Hiccy, what are you holding, and why does Rapunzel want to keep it?"
