Wow! The last chapter really did get all the reviews I wanted and more. :) Thank you so much, guys!

My 50th reviewer is Little Miss Thalia Grace and she has already made her decision on her one-shot! It'll be Jack/Hiccup but it's going to try to stay on the actual lines of the story instead of an AU. Look out for it! It should be up soon!

I still don't have a 100th reviewer so if you're interested in me writing for you, well then you better start reviewing!

Chapter 11

~Jack Frost~

I felt like I was trapped. Even more so than before. I was healed and I was standing. We all were. But something felt extremely off.

We started the dream already standing next to Hiccup. He knelt a few feet in front of us looked downtrodden. Merida and Eugene smiled, having been through enough dreams to know that once you were with the dreamer, you could pretty much leave the dream.

I knew something was wrong. It had to be. It was way too easy.

"Hiccup!" Rapunzel ran over to him and tripped when she just ran right through him. "Hiccup?" She sat straight up and turned to look at him and crawled over and waved her hand in front of him. He stayed still. I walked over next and attempted to put my hand on his shoulder. I went right through him.

"What the hell is going on?" Eugene asked and Hiccup jumped and turned to face him. He frowned and wiped away tears that I didn't know he was shedding.

"Rider? Why the hell are you here?" He asked, however he completely ignored the rest of us.

Eugene looked downright lost and looked at me, Rapunzel then Merida. He raised an eyebrow, confused as to why Hiccup couldn't apparently see anyone but him.

I heard a chuckle in the distance. Hiccup apparently couldn't hear it. It didn't faze anyone else either. I turned my head towards the sound and wondered off trying to find out what it was.

I wasn't getting anywhere though, Hiccup's nightmare was just a forever long plain of nothingness. Tiles beneath me but no sky. Everything was black. I turned around and noticed I was walking away from them, they got smaller. I finally stopped dead in my tracks.

"Oh Jack. Dear, sweet Jack." A voice whispered, practically seducing me with evil. I shivered as I spun, looking for a figure to match the voice I just heard. "I'm right here." I jumped back and stumbled, hitting the floor.

A man loomed over me, adorned in black; he almost blended in with the background. I knew who he was. It was the boogeyman.

"What's going on here?" I asked him with a scowl. He smiled at me, his teeth looked like baby rat teeth. Small and sharp. He leaned over to meet his eyes with my own. Those piercing yellow irises stared straight through me, turning my blood almost to ice. "Why can't Hiccup see me?"

"Oh Jack…" He smiled tauntingly as he caressed my cheek with his elongated fingertips. "That's because you can't be in the dream twice. Poor Hiccup already has you and your friends places in various locations of his hellish imagination. You're going to have to find yourselves. And help Hiccup save you before you are able to leave. After that though…" He tightly grasped my jack and pulled me in, dangerously close to his own face. I felt his surprisingly cold breath against my face. "You're mine Jack. We get to your nightmare." He smiled again before roughly letting me go, making me stumble and catch myself before I held my ground strongly again.

"Why can he see Eugene?" I asked boldly and he seemed rather surprised that I spoke up again but he continued on as if it didn't bother him even slightly.

"I suppose he doesn't care for Eugene so he doesn't envision him in any danger. Tsk tsk tsk… You could use that as an advantage. Can't you?" And with that he vanished into his own shadow.

After much time spent thinking of how to help Hiccup, I took in a deep breath and turned to see the figures. It's time to help. The best way I can.

~Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III~

"You can see me?" Flynn looked genuinely confused and honestly I could see why. I mean, why the heck was I dreaming about HIM. Well, I suppose it is a nightmare…

"Yes. This is MY dream." I said with a frown. I rose up from the ground and shuffled my feet. Flynn took a few steps closer to me and eyed me up and down. "What?"

"What is your nightmare, Hiccup?" He asked quietly. I felt like that was a personal question, but whatever. It was just a dream anyway.

"My friends. They're gone." I looked at my feet like they were the most interesting contraptions I've ever laid my eyes on. "I have to save them… But I'm too weak and they die."

"Well it's a good thing I'm here then, isn't it?" I looked up and met eye contact with Flynn. I don't know how, but he seemed different. Stronger. Nicer?

"I guess… I don't see how though." I sighed. "My brain will just screw it up anyway. It'll make me lose."

"Well then, I won't give you time to think it out." Flynn offered and it was rather strange seeing him so helpful.

"Who are we saving first?" He asked me and I turned to look at him.

"I always save Rapunzel first. Then Merida. Then Jack." I stated and inhaled deeply. "I never made it far enough to save Jack though… I usually really mess up at Merida."

"Well lead the way and I'll do my best to help you. Come on, munchkin." He pushed me forwards and I took a deep inhale of breath. I didn't know if this was going to be a good idea or not. But who am I to pass up help? Odd, my brain never thought of someone helping me. I guess that's what makes it the nightmare… But why would I think up Flynn to help? Why not Linguini or Russel? I digress.

We were walking in the complete blackness for a while. I could tell that Flynn was beginning to think that I had no idea where we were going. But this is what happens. I walk until my brain goes into overdrive and begins to fabricate this ridiculous platform I need to reach the end of in order to save any of my friends.

"How much farther?" Flynn asked after about 20 minutes of non-stop walking. I shrugged. "You don't know?"

"It's whenever my brain decides to torment me. That's part of the nightmare." I said with a discontent sigh.

The area around us began to speckle different colors. Mainly monochrome colors but colors nonetheless. I stopped and Flynn bumped into me, probably zoned out. I do that a lot in this dream too. Both of us looked up and saw the maze begin to form. Trees began to sprout and buildings appeared in what seemed like random locations. I knew this platform all too well. I always got through this one. I made it to Jack's all of once. And I didn't even see him.

I walked on, Flynn right behind me. I began moving overgrown bushes out of the way and I grabbed a few branches that were thick enough to be used as a weapon. Flynn did the same from my example.

Pressing onwards he made mention that he didn't hear anything. I knew that. You can barely hear anything in my dream. I'm practically deaf. Nothing made noise. Not the animals, not the wind. Nothing but me and apparently Flynn.

I noticed tree leaves rustling in the background and frowned. It was probably just the standard dragon popping out to keep me on my toes.

"You're afraid of dragons?" Flynn sounded shocked. "I thought you rode them." Well that answers it.

"I lied." I said simply and hit the small dragon with the branch and dashed off before it regained consciousness.

"Why did you lie?" Flynn asked and I grumbled.

"Because I don't want to be a Viking. I don't want to kill them. I want us to be harmonious but my dad won't listen to me. I'm not scared of them. They're just an occupational hazard. They'll be in all of the levels of my dream."

I stared directly upwards at a rundown tower. I knew how this worked. I had to climb tower to tower trying to find the one Rapunzel was in. But somehow I always failed. I don't want to fail. I rather like Rapunzel. I feel like I haven't actually seen her in so long. I miss her.

I grabbed hold of the crater in the brick and began scaling up the side of the tower. Flynn didn't even flinch. He was right behind me like he'd done this all his life and together, we made it to the first real check point. There were several flag poles poking out of the side of the building that made a perfect line for the next available safe area. This part always freaked me out because no matter how hard I tried, I always fell because I believed I would. But climbing to them should be a lot easier with Flynn next to me.

"Can I get on your back?" I asked and he looked at me funny but didn't ask questions. I assume because it's my dream and he really can't question me. I guess unless I questioned myself or wanted to voice my reasoning.

I climbed on his back and reached for the poles and stepped on it and jumped to the next one. Flynn just stared at me rather confused and when he jumped up and grabbed the poles and went across with his arms like he was on monkey bars, I realized why. But it isn't confusing why I chose to step on them. I have a serious lack of arm muscle and this is the only way that I could get across. Needless to say, it was significantly harder to do it myself than it was with another person.

Once we both made it to the second sturdy ground I glanced around not really remembering which fork in the tower to take. I decided to go left on my random instincts and onwards we went.

You're not going to save them.

I paused and frowned. I was too going to save them.

No you aren't. Hiccup, you're weak. You're useless and you think you can save not one, but three of your friends? Forget it. Just give up. Save yourself the embarrassment.

"Hiccup. You alright?" I jumped at the sound of Flynn's voice.

"Y-yeah. I'm fine." I tried to regain my confidence but my biggest fear is that I wasn't going to be good enough. I couldn't save them.

"You can do this, Hiccup. You know that, right?" I didn't know how, but Flynn said something that I knew Rapunzel would say. That made me extremely thankful. I hoped I could save her. I really did.

&$#(%*_)#($

"This is a really strenuous dream." Flynn seemed to be out of breath. Well… So was I honestly. This dream takes forever and we haven't even saved Rapunzel yet. But the thing that was taking so long, was now every step I took, I was filled with self-doubt. There was something in me telling me that I wasn't good enough and that was really messing with my head.

"I know. I'm sorry but if it helps, that's Rapunzel's checkpoint area." I pointed to a seemingly random area and he followed my finger and motioned for me to step onwards.

"Let's go. Show me the way." And so I did.

Hiccup. You're a tiny pathetic scrawny piece of nothing. Do you think they WANT to be saved?

Yes. They do. They're my friends.

Are you sure they're your friends? Maybe they're just faking it. They could honestly just hate you and talk poorly of you when you aren't around.

They wouldn't do that. If they had a problem, they would say it to my face. Now leave me alone!

I willed for the incessant negativity out of my mind. I even looked like I was arguing with myself. Flynn was staring at me funny. I didn't mind too much. Most people stared at me funny. I was used to it.

"We're almost there." I said quietly and Flynn chuckled and mumbled something but when I asked him what, he said nothing and I shrugged it off as a me hearing things.

This is where the dream gets tricky. I paused and hunched over looking through the trees. Flynn saw Rapunzel. I know he did. He jumped up but I pulled him back down. I wanted to save her. But I wanted to save her without going through the obstacles.

"Who's that?" Flynn pointed. Without looking I knew who he was referring to. It was the first "boss" as you would call it. The person I have to defeat to go onto the next level.

"That's my dad." Flynn seemed confused and went to ask something but clumsy me, I tripped. It didn't take too long for my father to show up and loom over us. He had bright yellow eyes and he just looked so… disappointed. It made me feel small.

"What are YOU doin' here, Hiccup?" He spat. I cringed.

"I'm here to save Rapunzel." I mumbled and looked down at the floor.

"Save HER? What are ya doing- SAVING HER? Do ya think that'll make her like ya? No. She doesn't like yew, Hiccup." He was eye level with me now. I was trying my hardest not to crack but it was getting really hard…

"Hiccup, don't listen to him." Flynn jumped in, my father ignored him and continued to belittle be.

"Hiccup, you're never going to find someone to care for ya. Your mum isn't even here. You're all alone. You think she's yar friend, but she's not." He was glowering. Flynn touched my back, but for a minute, I felt like it was Jack. I though Jack was behind me. And Jack makes me want to be better. Braver. Stronger. Jack believes in me. So does Rapunzel and Merida. Heck, even Flynn over here is believing in me more than I believe in myself. Maybe it's time to stop trying to live up to everyone else's expectations and start setting my own… I don't know… Maybe that's the lesson in this dream?

"No. You aren't my dad so just stop." I deadpanned after ignoring whatever he was saying. "My father wouldn't say anything to me like that and you know why? Because he believes in me just like I believe in my friends. They're my friends. They don't belittle me, they're here for a reason. I'm saving them because I care about them and I don't want them gone."

"I'm saving Rapunzel because she has taught me that there are so many good people in the world and I've never seen anyone more pure or sincere. I'm going to get passed you no matter what it takes and save her because I know that she would do the same darn thing for me. You hear me?! Now go! Be gone, you!" I swatted at the apparition and he disappeared. Flynn smiled and I took a step closer to the tied up Rapunzel and she… seemed more like herself than she usually does in my dreams. The binds of her rope vanished and she jumped up. She had tears in her eyes and she flung her arms around me.

"You're so sweet Hiccup. You're one of my best friends." She admitted and I smiled. I can do this.

Reunited and it feels so goooood! :)

Review please! Let's make it to 100!
