Esmeralda passed the cup to Elinor filled with the potion to reverse their souls.

"On the count of three. One... Two... Three!" Esmeralda said then both of them drank the contents of the cup.

The four teens were on standby, waiting for what will happen next. Esmeralda and Elinor's body slumped on the ground then they saw how the older women's souls came back to their body.

Merida picked up her mother then Hiccup to Esmeralda. Esmeralda told them that once they switched back to their normal bodies, they need to bring them both to the hospital because of their wounds and bruises since it was part of their deal.

They all went out of the school without anyone from the school noticing then they drove off to the nearest hospital using Rapunzel's car.

Once inside the hospital neither of them uttered a word. They were just waiting for a nurse or doctor to arrive to tell them what is the status of Merida's mom and Esmeralda.

Hiccup decided to break the silence enveloping them.

"Hey guys, I, uh, need to go now. It's already 7:00 and Mom's been calling me. It's been a long day for us all and I think we all need to rest. Especially you girls" Hiccup said.

Merida nodded at without even giving him a glance and as for Rapunzel, she just smiled at him and mouthed a 'Thank you'.

Hiccup stood up and hugged both girls and gave Jack a fist bump.

"You're not coming home yet?" Hiccup asked Jack.

"Nah, I think I'll stay here for a while. I have nothing to do at home anyways. Bye, Hic" Jack answered then Hiccup left the three of them.

A few seconds after Hiccup left, the doctor went outside the operating room making Merida, Jack and Rapunzel stand up.

"Who is related to the patient?"

"I am, I'm the daughter of the other patient the one with who is slightly younger." Merida answered.

"Well, your mother's wounds are okay now but she still needs to stay here in the hospital for a few weeks because her other wounds might get infected if she goes outside and she is now in room 331 as for the old lady... I'm sorry but she didn't make it. It's may be because of her old age. Excuse me" The doctor said then walked away.

Merida sat back at one of the hospital chairs next to Jack. She felt relieved and happy now that her mother alright but she also felt bad for Esmeralda.

"Mer, I need to go now. Bye" Rapunzel said.

Merida felt her guilt rising again. She stood up and looked at Rapunzel who also stared at her.

"S-sure... Take care on your way home, bye" Merida said and gave her a fake smile which didn't go unnoticed by Rapunzel and Jack.

Rapunzel just nodded turned to walk away but Merida called her name.

"Punzie? I um thank you... For helping me and my Mom. and I'm sorry about your hair" She said looking down at her feet.

Rapunzel sighed and walked back to hug her. "Merida, I told you it's fine besides I like my hair this way. And please don't feel bad, my hair is not only my source of power, I still have my tears" Rapunzel said slowly as if she was explaining to a child.

"What tears?"

"My tears can also heal someone. But it can't help in keeping someone young" Rapunzel explained.

"--I can heal your mother if you want" She added.

Merida chuckled and shook her head. "No, Punzie. You've already done enough. It's okay"
