Mericcup one-shots

The animation team

Merida POV

"Go on then!" I urge, a small smirk playing on my lips.

"Come on man! What harm can it do?" Eugene grins mischievously.

"We're supposed to be setting a good example guys." Jack complains holding on to the only excuse he has.

"And having fun with the kids," I say. "What can be more fun?"

"I guess you're right," Jack murmurs, glancing back at the young boy.

"Go on!" I push him towards the content child causing him to stumble but quickly redeem himself. He looks back at Eugene and I only to be met with encouraging yet mischievous smirks. He sighs and creeps toward the small boy; the kid must be around 8 years of age. His parents are eyeing Jack suspiciously.

We've never had this much fun doing a job before. Me and my brothers, Eugene and Jack, were picked to become the animation team for a caravan park in Madrid 2 months ago. We loved it and now it's our permanent job. Basically, our job is to entertain the children and adults staying at the park by playing games by the pool and in the entertainment bar in the evenings.

Presently, we're in the entertainment bar awaiting Jack to have some fun with this young child.

Suddenly, Jack whips the boy's glasses off and turns away like nothing happened. Me and Eugene suppress our laughter as we see the boy whizz around with a frown before following Jack who'd now walked away. 3 other kids - 1 boy, 2 girls - follow suit, probably either his siblings or close friends

The young boy catches up with Jack and taps him on the shoulder; Jack spins around with a look of fake confusion on his face. Then the unthinkable happens that makes our sides split.

The little boy clings to Jack's arm, dangling his legs in the air, much to Jack's surprise. Immediately, he gives him his glasses back only to be bombarded with the other 3 children. One of the girls grips his ankle while the other holds his other arm. The other boy jumps onto his back and grips his shoulders. A look of complete horror washes across Jack's face as he gets smothered by the 4 children.

Eugene and I clutched our sides in laughter at the sight of Jack being mauled by a pack of 8 year olds. Our laughter ends when we hear someone clearing their throat behind us. We whizz around to see a young man with startling, green, stony eyes and messy auburn hair. His hard expression soon turns into a cheeky grin.

"Want me to take a few photos?" he asks, waving his camera in the air.

I look to Eugene with a smirk. "You bet!"

"I'm never forgiving you guys!" Jack exclaims as he finally frees himself from the swarm of kids. "Who's this?" He nods toward the photographer.

"This is...?" Eugene begins.

"Hiccup." the young man introduces.

"No seriously."

"My name really is Hiccup." He explains.

"Oh." Eugene says sheepishly.

"Nice to meet you Hiccup," Jack greets, offering his hand to 'Hiccup'.

"Nice to meet you too," He greets back "I didn't catch your names."

"I'm Jack. This is my brother Eugene and my sister Merida." Jack introduces.

"Glad to make your acquaintances Eugene and Merida."

I notice Jack looking behind him nervously. "What's up Jack?" I ask him.

"Er... I do t think those kids took the glasses thing very well." He says, pointing over his shoulder with his thumb. The 4 children from earlier are glaring at us, arms folded.

"Charge!" the boy with the glasses yells, ponying a finger at us. They all sprint forward.

"Now's the time to run!" Eugene announces, running off with Jack up a flight of steps. The boy with glasses and one of the girls chases after them leaving the other two eyeing Hiccup and I.

"I think we'd better move," Hiccup suggests.

"Agreed." I leg it in the opposite direction to where Jack and Eugene ran, Hiccup hot on my heels.

We reach a vending machine and don't hesitate to hide behind it. Only now do we realise how cramped it is. I'm practically sitting on his lap, and for what? Just to get away from a few kids?

Well, I'm not complaining.

A/n I'm going to end it there, I don't have anymore ideas for this. Hope you enjoyed it, I was inspired by my holiday park in Lanzarote and couldn't resist writing this. Hope you enjoyed.
