Disclaimer: I do not own Tangled or Rise of the Guardians.
Jack's POV
I honestly didn't want to leave Rapunzel alone with Pascal. After the small fiasco with the bear I didn't want her to be alone, but I needed time to think. Looking around in search of food for Rapunzel I started thinking about the way her hair glowed. She looked absolutely stunning, but how did that occur? How is it possible that something like that could happen to a mortal? I would ask the Man on the Moon about this later tonight. Maybe he would give me answers. Near what I deemed the safe zone was another bush filled with more berries. Deciding berries and if I manage to catch a rabbit or something would be enough to hold off Rapunzel's hunger until dinner.
I decided against the rabbit if Bunnymund found out I tried to hunt one of his kin he'd hunt me down. Settling on just collecting berries again I grabbed as much as I could carry and headed back to the safe zone. Slowly I approached, searching for Rapunzel. I heard her talking to Pascal I couldn't quite make out what she said though. Slowly inching closer I caught the last of what she said "I think I might like Jack, Pascal. He's really nice to me and I've never met anyone…well literally never met anyone else." A huge grin was plastered onto my face. She likes me, huh? Well now that I know the feelings are reciprocated I can start showing her how I feel. Thinking its best to make my presence known I started to walk making some noise. "Hey Punz I found some more berries for you and Pascal. After you eat I thought maybe I could fly us all the way to Corona. It shouldn't take us too long to get there. By dinner I believe I should be able to get us there." She grabbed the berries and ate them with Pascal happily. "You think we could reach it faster? But won't you get tired from carrying me all the way there?''
"Punz I'm a tough guy. Don't worry your pretty little head over me.'' I patted her head softly and winked at her which made her blush.
Gothel's POV
Walking in a brisk pace I wanted to go home already. My feet were aching and my youth was slipping once again. My beautiful dark hair was starting to turn gray with age. It's been almost two days since I left. Luckily I managed to find a merchant on the way to the Bay Shores where the most beautiful fabrics can be found. Instead of trekking all the way there he had what I was looking for. So now I was headed home to Rapunzel so she could sing to me and make me young once again. Reaching our little tower by dinner time I yelled out to her. "Rapunzel dear! Let down your hair!" Silence. This girl could take forever sometimes. I needed to get her here quicker. "Rapunzel hurry up in there. Don't want to keep me waiting!" Still no response. My patience was wearing thin I didn't want to hit her again, but if it comes down to it I must. "Rapunzel hurry up." Then it hit me…that little brat must have left. Using the bottom entrance I burst through the doors. Searching the entire tower I found no trace of the little conniving brat. She would pay for ever leaving this tower. She would pay dearly. Making my way towards Corona I knew she would go there to see her stupid floating lights. Oh the rage was about to overcome my entire being. I wouldn't let it consume me just yet I would later need it when I found her. If the kingdom found out who she was I'd never have her again. I'd die out I needed to hurry if I wanted a chance to catch up to the little brat. With that in mind I set out to find her.
Rapunzel's POV
Just as Jack said we reached Corona by dinner time and boy was I starving. Maybe this time I can go out looking for food I appreciate the berries that Jack finds, but they aren't filling. We were walking in the streets of Corona many people weren't out anymore since everyone was at home already with their families enjoying dinner time. Maybe one day I could have dinner time with a family of my own. "Hey Jack where are we sleeping tonight?" I looked over at him expectantly and he looked at the ground in deep thought. "I think I can sneak us into an inn for a night. No one will notice and by dawn we can easily slip out." I gasped at the thought of breaking into a place, wasn't that wrong? What if we got caught? Well what if I got caught? No one can see Jack so he'd be fine that's for sure. "I don't know Jack what if I get in trouble?''
"You worry too much Punz leave it to me." With that he flew over the buildings searching for something. Finally he seemed to find what he was looking for and lead me to an inn. His hand was holding my hand and it felt so right. I intertwined our fingers together hoping he wouldn't let go. He squeezed my hand a little and looked back to smile at me. I blushed slightly but I wouldn't relinquish my hold on his hand. He lowered us to a window edge and Jack peeked inside to see if anyone was in the room. Seeing as it was unoccupied he pushed open the window and led me inside. "Listen Punz stay here while I go searching for food for you ok?"
"What? No what if someone comes into the room? I don't want to be here by myself." Jack looked pensive for a minute before he came over to me and made a small figurine of himself using his ice powers. "If anything happens just whisper into lil 'ol Jacks ear. Whatever he hears I hear too ok? I'll be back with some food before you know it." Nodding my head in agreement Jack jumped out of the room window in search of food. Pascal and I decided to make ourselves comfortable since we were going to sleep the night here. Looking around the room I noticed there was only one bed, it was a simple full-sized bed. The comforter was a navy blue color, with white polka dots scattered across, the pillows seemed so fluffy and had the matching navy color. All in all it looked very comfortable, to the side of the bed there was a small nightstand with a lamp. A dresser was across from the bed with a small flower pot and a small mirror on top of it. It was a small room very simple and cozy, just the way I liked exhausted I went to the bed and just laid there. Slowly before I knew it my eyes closed themselves and I fell into a light slumber.
Hearing a small squeak I woke up with a start. What was that? I had to be careful…what if it was someone here to hurt me. Again I heard the squeak, cautiously I made my way over to the noise. BAM! The window flew open and in jumped in Jack. "JACK! Oh my goodness you SCARED ME!'' Chuckling Jack seemed to take a kick out of scaring me senseless. "I'm back with goodies for you Punz. I got some bread, cheese, a little meat…oh and my favorite strawberry cake. Oh and some water as well wouldn't want you to get parched." Handing me the food, I took it gratefully, eyeing the strawberry cake first. "Ah ah, Punz you gotta eat your food first then desserts." Sending him a small glare for catching on to my desire for the sweets I let the glare fade away before looking at him with a small smile. "Thank you Jack for getting me this food. For taking me here to Corona…I really appreciate everything you're doing for me." Keeping my smile intact I took a bite out of the bread.
JACKS POV
Oh god. The way she smiled at me it made my heart flutter and my stomach do flips. Rapunzel was just so…perfect. "No problem Punz. Eat up then rest we have a full day tomorrow to go exploring before those floating lights appear." She nodded her head happily at me. Punz called over Pascal to share her food with him. Pascal happily obliged and scampered on over like the good companion he was. Looking at Rapunzel I couldn't tear my eyes away from her. The way she spoke to Pascal about small things such as how the bread tasted so fresh and warm. How her eyes sparkled in delight the way Pascal nodded his head and ate the piece she offered him out of her palm. Her hair how it seemed to glow from the moonlight entering the room from the window. She was just so beautiful. I don't know how long I was staring at her before she noticed me. "Jack is there something wrong?" Blinking at her owlishly I shook my head. "Nah, just thought I saw a bug on you but I was wrong."
"Oh…ok." She looked at me weird before she dug into everything else. As soon as she was done she skipped onto the bed and wrapped herself until she looked like a burrito. "Come over here Jack I know you don't need sleep, but can you just lay down next to me until I fall asleep? I'm still a little scared after today."
"Anything for you beautiful."
"what?" Blushing slightly at my slip up I just coughed and replied "sure thing Punz" I walked over to the bed and laid next to the beauty that is Rapunzel. Not even a few minutes later Punz fell asleep with a little snore. Looking at her I couldn't stop my eyes wandering her face. Her cute little button nose her pink plump lips looked so…so tempting. Shaking my head I flew over to the windows edge, looking back at the sleeping beauty I chuckled softly at how she rolled herself up in the covers.
