Chapter XI

"I'm surprised school was even on today", Hiccup said as he wipe his dragons scales.

Rapunzel still wasn't used to the fact that there were actual dragons that existed. She had to admit though, the thing was pretty cute.

"Well it's not like we can be harmed very much here", Merida told him," All of the Guardians, plus trained students are here by the hundreds. It would take a fool to steal Rapunzel here."

"She isn't going to be taken anywhere", Jack corrected Merida. Rapunzel smiled, and laid her hand on his arm.

"So, on a lighter note, how do you fly that thing?" Jack smiled pointing to Hiccup's dragon.

"Oh, Toothless is easy to ride. Want me to show you?" Hiccup smiled and hopped on Toothless.

"Hell yeah!" Jack yelled jumping up and sitting behind Hiccup.

"Aren't you two a cute couple", Merida smiled at them.

"I'm already taken, thank you", Jack told her very femininely, placing his hand to his chest. He smiled and winked at Rapunzel and then the two of them took off to the sky.

"That thing is so cool!" Merida shouted out and jumped up.

"I still can't get over the fact that dragons exist", Rapunzel smiled and stood up.

"Why not? I mean, one of our teachers is a huge bunny", Merida laughed and hooked her arm through Rapunzel's," I think dragon's are the most normal thing here sometimes."

Rapunzel laughed and they walked to the school together.

"Jack and you seem rather friendly lately", Merida smiled and bumped hips with Rapunzel.

Rapunzel blushed," I mean, we have kissed twice..."

"WHAT!" Merida squealed," Oh my Gods, I bet he is a cute kisser. But you better watch out girl."

"What? Why?" Rapunzel asked, confused.

"There is this girl Elsa who has quite the crush on him", Merida told her.

"Who's she? I've never heard of her", Rapunzel asked.

"She's princess of Arendelle", Merida told her," She has powers too."

"Like what?"

"Like Jack's. That's why she likes him so much I think. Her kingdom is the neighboring one to mine. She has a sister here too, but she's a grade below ours", Merida informed her.

"Well what exactly can she do?" Rapunzel pushed.

"I think she can just manipulate ice and snow. She doesn't control winter like Jack does", Merida specified," I think she wanted to marry him, but he was never interested in her."

"Marriage?" Rapunzel blanched.

"Punz, don't worry. He's so interested in you. She's been chasing after him for years", Merida told her with a wave of her hand," So how has living with him been?"

"It's been good", Rapunzel blushed again," It just sucks that I don't have any of my clothes. I have to wear his, and I have to wear this same dress to school."

"Oh! I'll have my mother bring some clothes with her when she comes to pick me up", Merida told her.

"Really? I don't want to impose, but that would be awesome", Rapunzel sighed with relief, as they sat down in the library. Since it was free period, they decided to go inside.

"No it's not a problem. I'll contact them now", she told her, and whistled out the window next to her. A bird came and landed on the windowsill.

"How did you do that?" Rapunzel laughed.

"My mom taught me how to bird call when I was a kid", she rolled her eyes," She thought it would be a bonding experience."

Rapunzel smiled and Merida wrote out a note and strapped it to the bird's leg. It flew off and they watched it fly away.

"Hey look!" Rapunzel pointed. They saw Hiccup flying Toothless and Jack flying next to them coming towards the school. Really fast.

"Are they racing?" Merida laughed.

"Let's go outside to see who wins", Rapunzel jumped up and raced towards the door. The ran outside just as they were about to reach ground. Jack leaped forward about to land, but Toothless turned around and blew out hot hair and blew Jack back into the air.

"That's cheating!" Jack laughed as he landed behind Toothless and Hiccup.

"Toothless, we don't try to burn friends", Hiccup pointed his finger at Toothless who rolled around in the grass ignoring him.

"How was the race?" Rapunzel laughed as she sat down next to Jack.

"Well I flew Toothless a bit, but he jerked me off so then we had a race", Jack laughed," Little brat."

" Oh, someone's a sore loser", Merida laughed.

They all laughed for a moment before Hiccup got serious," So who's the guy behind wanting you?"

"We think it's my stepmother", Rapunzel told him awkwardly.

"Why her? Wouldn't she have to know who and where Pitch is?" Merida inquired.

"We think that she knew him before he was banished because Rapunzel said she practiced black and dark magic", Jack told them.

"So what's the next step", Hiccup spoke up again.

"Right now, we're just watching out for Punz while my father and the other Guardians decide what's next", Jack told them.

The bell rang overhead and they all jumped up.

"Oh! Rapunzel come with me and come meet my parents to get the clothes", Merida told her and grabbed her hand.

"I'll meet you at the entrance", Rapunzel yelled to Jack as Merida yanked her to the entrance. Jack laughed and waved to Rapunzel.

Merida kept yanking on Rapunzel till they reached the entrance where her parents were waiting with a suitcase.

"Mum, dad, this is Rapunzel", Merida smiled to her parents.

"A pleasure to meet you Rapunzel", her mother smiled and shook her hand," We've heard so much about you."

"Aren't you a wee little lass", her father smiled and pumped her hand.

"Darling, don't break her arm", her mother smiled.

"It is lovely to meet you both", Rapunzel smiled at them," And your home was lovely, and you have a lovely um, daughter."

She looked at Merida who was cleaning her nails with her teeth.

"And you have lovely manners", her mother smiled," Your taste in friends is improving."

" You have lovely subtlety", Merida sneered at her mother and I stifled a laugh," Did you bring what I asked for for Rapunzel?"

"Of course. These are for you", her mother handed her the suitcase," Some of them might be over the top, but they are beautiful none the less."

Rapunzel," Oh thank you! I promise I will keep them perfect."

"It's not a problem I have tons at home", Merida hugged Rapunzel goodbye and got into her parents carriage," Tell Jack and uh, Hiccup I said goodbye."

She blushed when she said Hiccup's name which Rapunzel thought was curious.

"I will. See you tomorrow", Rapunzel waved and Merida shut the door, so they could ride away. Rapunzel smiled and turned to go back to Jack and Hiccup. She saw them at the outskirts of the field. Jack's hair shone in the sunlight as it was dimming over the mountains. She knew how handsome and already in love she was with Jack, she just figured she would be the only one... She never realized that other people thought of him like she did. She figured now that she knew this Elsa girl liked him, ton's might. Probably almost ever other girl in this school had a crush on him. Well tough luck for them. He likes me! she smiled to herself. This gorgeous boy liked her. Not any of the other well to-do, less complicated girls, but her. She was getting closer to them. Something caught her eye in the corner. She turned to face the forest next to her. Did she imagine it?

"Is someone there?" she spoke aloud. No one answered her. There it is again. Something dark is moving on the edge of the woods. She took a step forward.

"What the hell!" she ran away as a dark horse came running towards her.

"Rapunzel!" she heard Jack yell. Hiccup was frozen in place watching this sand like horse chase after her.

"Toothless!" Rapunzel yelled out to the dragon on in instinct," Help!"

She turned and dove under the horse and ran towards Toothless who was now running towards her. She put her right arm around Toothless' neck and swung herself on top. He dove into the sky to get her away from the horse.

"C'mon!" she yelled and turned around. The horse was flying after them.

"Of course it can fly!" she yelled out," Toothless my sword! It's on the ground!"

She turned Toothless around and dove for the ground. He flew her to her bag and she grabbed her sword. Toothless turned around in the air and shot out a purple light at the horse. It hit the horse and exploded into fire.

"I didn't know you could do that", Rapunzel smiled as the horse fell into pieces on the ground," Let's get on the ground."

They spiraled down to find Jack with North, Bunny, and Tooth.

"Are you okay!?" Jack ran up to her and wrapped her in his arms.

"I'm fine", Rapunzel laughed," I had it under control. I didn't even need my sword."

"That was to close. What was it?" North asked her, walking over to the pile of dark sand.

"It was a horse. Well, not really a horse. It was like a skeleton of a horse. It was black and it had white glowing eyes... Also it could fly", Rapunzel told them.

"Pitch is getting more dangerous. He is even threatening her at school", Bunny spoke.

"Well she can't very well not go to school. This place is helping her learn combat and skills", Tooth fluttered over to Rapunzel and tried to drape her arm around her, but Jack was already glued to Rapunzel's side.

"She will have to stay inside at all times until school ends", North told them," I'm sorry Rapunzel, but it's getting to dangerous out here for you."

"It's okay. As long as it's in everybody's best interest", Rapunzel agreed," Hiccup, there you are!"

Hiccup joined the group," Rapunzel, I am so sorry I just froze up like that. I didn't know what to do..."

" Yeah, why didn't you help!" Jack yelled back.

"Jack!" Rapunzel and North both yelled at him.

"No! He just froze up and left you in danger!" he yelled and got into Hiccup's face," You're supposed to be our friend and she could have been killed."

"JACK THAT'S ENOUGH!" Rapunzel yelled, stepping in front of him and shoving him away. Jack seemed stunned that Rapunzel acted hostile towards him and composed himself.

"I'm- I'm sorry, Hi- Hiccup", he stammered and shot into the sky.
