"Rapunzel!!!!!" I heard someone call. I knew who it was right away. Jack. Always making sure I was alright. He was the Guardian, after all.

I ran towards his voice. I skidded to a stop when I saw him waiting.

"Snowball fight, Punzie," he said mischievously. He whipped up a snowball and threw it at me. I darted to my left, towards the hideout for us four. Snowballs whipped repeatedly past me as I ran. I hid behind a tent, peeking out to make sure he hadn't seen me. A snowball came at my face and I ducked. 

Merida and Hiccup came running, grabbing the newly conjured snow off the ground and throwing it at me and Jack. We ran around the camp, laughing and throwing the snow Jack had made. 

I hit each of them several times. I had become good at the snowball fights. Jack had fights just with me from time to time, and the four of us do it almost every other day. It's good fun, after all.

Poor Pascal had to duck all the time to avoid being hit with snow. Eventually he jumped down and hid in a tent. 

I had just thrown a snowball at Hiccup, who was to my left, when I crashed straight into Jack. We fell on the ground. I was on top of him!

"Uh, I-I-I'm sorry," I stammered. "This is awkward. Sorry. Sorry..." 

"Why are you being so apologetic?" Jack asked curiously. "You've never done this before when you crash into people."

"I don't know," I lied. I brushed the dirt and snow off my dress. "I should probably go inside, it's cold... go on without me."

My three friends stared after me as I ducked quickly into my tent. "She's got the hots for you, man," I heard Hiccup hiss to Jack.

I groaned inwardly and faceplanted myself into a pillow. Why? I thought, my face as red as can be.
