Flynn got out arrows from his satchel, staring down the tall tower. He planted an arrow on the wall of the tower and struck another just above it. He grasped both and then pulled them in and out of the tower, grunting slightly as he climbed.

Jack watched amused, still swaying slightly in the air. Within fifteen minutes the man reached the top, pushed the doors of the tower window aside and climbed in. Jack flew forward and crouched at the side of the tower, peeking inside.

The man let out a sigh, opened his satchel and stared at the contents inside. "Alone at last," he breathed. Jack rolled his eyes.

Then suddenly there was a loud high-pitched WHAM!

Jack's eyes widened and he saw the man grin stupidly before he toppled down like a large tree. There stood a girl who could have been his age (You know if he wasn't immortal.) frying pan in mid-air. She let out a little shriek and ran to the side.

It was the girl from the vision and statue!

He peeked a little closer still trying to stay out of her view. She was now back, still raising the frying pan at the man even though he was unconscious; her eyes were bright green and they looked afraid. It was actually kinda pretty…

Jack shook his head and focused. Why was this kid so special?

Then he saw it. The statue hadn't been lying. Her long mane was spread around the tower….yep. That was a lot of hair.

Jack decided he had to get back to the others. He flew off creating a jet of wind behind him.

XxX

Merida wouldn't stop screaming and her nails were digging painfully into Hiccup's waist. He tried to assure her everything was all right but apparently the girl wasn't too fond of flying.

It was a relief when he saw Jack flying ahead of them and motioning them to land. Hiccup adjusted a few pedals and Toothless dived down to the ground. Hiccup undid his wire and slid off Toothless's back and turned to help Merida. Merida looked dazed—her crazy orange-y reddish hair was even more windblown. It would be comical if she didn't look like she was going to throw up. North who had been unfortunate to sit behind her spit out a couple of curls that had entered his mouth during the flight.

Jack landed behind Hiccup, took one look at Merida and then burst into laughter; doubling over and hanging onto his staff for support.

Merida swallowed thickly and narrowed her eyes at the sprite. "Yeh—wan another punch…Frost?" She gasped.

Hiccup grimaced at the sound of her voice. "Are you okay?"

She nodded slowly. "Jus'….jus' give me a sec…."

North slid down from Toothless and gave Jack one look that made him shut up. The Russian crossed his arms at Jack. "Jack, do you learn nothing from running off?"

Jack grimaced feeling ashamed of himself. "I—I'm sorry, North, but that's not important! I found her!"

North raised an eyebrow and Hiccup listened curiously.

"That girl that's supposed to be spring…she's hidden in a tower that's not too far from here. At least three minutes away."

North's blue eyes twinkled—already transforming from disappointment to excitement. "Then what we waiting for?!" North exclaimed. "We fly now!"

Merida let out a little squeak.

Jack smirked.

Hiccup bit his lip glancing between the fiery red-head and the mischievous winter sprite. "Uh, Jack did say it wouldn't take us so long to get there? Why don't we just walk?"

Merida glanced at Hiccup mouthing, 'Thank-you.'

XxX

"Alright, with my little eye I see something….curly."

"Merida's hair," Hiccup answered automatically. Merida looked as though she had had enough of Jack Frost.

"Very good," Jack grinned. "Okay. I spy with my little eye something, orange."

"Merida's hair."

"Wow, Hiccup you're great at this game!"

Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Jack, can you cut it out? I don't think Merida likes it very much."

Jack snorted, lazily gripping his staff over his shoulders. "The girl needs to learn to have a sense of humor. I'm only teasing."

Hiccup scowled slightly. "Yeah, but she's been through a lot today. We all have—I don't even want to be here. When I saw her she was crying."

Jack stopped smirking, glanced at Merida and started feeling guilty. Yeah, he was being pretty stupid. The four, plus Toothless, walked in silence until Jack spotted the familiar curtain of leaves.

"There it is!" He grinned leaping gracefully over to the leaves. He used his crook and pulled the leaves apart slightly. Merida raised her eyebrows and entered slowly. She sucked in breath as she surveyed the tall tower.

Hiccup was more dumbstruck. "Why would someone want to hide a tower in the middle of nowhere?"

"I don't know," Jack answered. "Guess we'll figure out."

Toothless sniffed the grass slightly before he ran right into the open. He apparently loved the grass because he started to roll around in it, grinning.

"Um, what kind of dragon is he again?" Jack asked Hiccup wide-eyed.

"He's a Night Fury. Their said to be the children of lightning and death."

"Oh, yeah," Jack observed, seeing Toothless roll in the grass. "Very deadly." Hiccup gave Jack an annoyed look.

"How are we gonna get up there?" Merida asked giving the tower a bewildered look.

Jack couldn't help but smirk again. "Um, you guys wouldn't know the game monkey's in a barrel, would you?"

North gaffed. "No, no. Vith Hiccup and Merida, yes. I vill climb my own vay."

"Suit yourself," Jack answered before looping arms with Merida and Hiccup. They both gasped as they left the ground. Merida opened her mouth to scream again but Jack slammed the crook of his staff over her mouth. She was wide eyed and tasted wood. Her hands trembled aching to close around Jack's neck.

The windows were already open and Jack flew right in. The tower was dark and empty for some reason. Merida grunted and pushed herself away from Jack her chest breathing heavy.

"I am sick of ye, Frost!"

Instead of retorting back, Jack shushed her.

"Oi! Listen ta me!"

"How about you stop shouting!" Jack said, smiling at her mockingly. She gritted her teeth, her hands closing in fists.

Hiccup wanted to facepalm. How was he supposed to be part of a team when two of its members wanted to tear each other apart?

Merida shouted at Jack and the next thing Hiccup knew they were both shouting at each other at the top of their lungs. Hiccup watched them fed up when he heard something slither behind him.

His head whipped around but he saw nothing. Then there was the sound of footsteps padding on the ground. Still Merida and Jack didn't notice.

"HOW ABOUT WE FIGHT?!" Merida screamed.

Jack laughed. "You think you can fight me?! You'd lose on the first try!"

"Say that to your broken nose, Frost!"

"BRING IT, RE—"

"Will you guys, SHUT UP?!" Hiccup yelled. Merida and Jack jumped staring at Hiccup in surprise.

"There's someone here," Hiccup whispered. Jack looked like he was about to say something but his eyes widened.

"Hiccup! Behind you!"

Hiccup looked behind him seeing nothing. "What the heck-?" He heard a grunting noise. Hiccup faced Jack again—Jack had two yellow ropes around his wrists. His staff clattered to the ground and Merida just gaped.

The more Hiccup looked at it he realized the ropes…were hair. Jack's left fist came up and nailed himself on the chin. The hair wrapped around Jack—making him punch his own face repeatingly.

Merida and Hiccup ran forward to help but they both fell on their stomachs when they felt something wrap around their ankles.

They were tugged and found themselves upside down. Never did Hiccup think he would die by hair! Merida's dress fell over to her neck and her long underwear was visible to Hiccup and Jack. Merida flushed, embarrassed. Hiccup's boot fell off and he crashed to the ground. He winced painfully, but let out a girl scream as the hair wrapped it elf around his ankle again. Whoever was pulling the hair yanked and Merida and Hiccup's foreheads knocked against each other. The hair released them and they fell to the ground unconscious.

Jack was dazed and hit himself after what felt like the one hundredth time. He had enough. He ducked and grabbed the hair as it was about to shoot at it again. He grinned in accomplishment, but gasped when his legs get pulled underneath him. He reached for his staff but another wisp of hair grabbed the staff and yanked it into the darkness.

Jack cursed loudly and climbed back to his feet. He had had enough. He yelled and ice energy embedded off him. The hair let go of his wrists and Jack fell to his knees, completely drained.

He was panting hard, and he closed his eyes. He slumped forward and fell onto his elbows as well. He ducked his head—why was that move so draining?!

He heard footsteps again and looked up to see black metal and hearing a loud WHAM!

Jack Frost fell flat against the floor unconscious.

It was a few seconds later that North managed to get into the tower. He was breathing hard in the summer weather and as soon as he got in, discarded his heavy coat.

"Finally," he panted but was cut short when he saw Merida, Hiccup, and Jack lying next to each other.

"Vhat the-?"

WHAM!

I just did a short chapter as a treat before school starts. This was inspired by the Tangled teaser trailer. Mother Gothel just left again and Flynn is still in the closet. Toodles! :3
