I heard Hiccup and Merida run into the camp, panting. I looked up from my drawing. The sun was lowering behind them, and they had the most joyful expressions on their faces.
"Where have you guys been?" I asked.
"Riding Toothless," said Hiccup.
"It must have been really fun, you guys look like you just saw a unicorn," I said sarcastically.
"Yeah," said Merida breathlessly.
Jack came out of his tent. "Hey guys," he greeted them.
"Hi!" we said in sync.
"Want to play a game of Truth or Dare?" Merida asked.
"Sure," I said.
"I'm game," answered Jack.
"Of course," Hiccup agreed.
I sat down next to Merida. Across the fire I had made were Hiccup and Jack.
"Who wants to go first?" Merida asked.
"Me!" offered Jack brightly.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to throw a snowball at Toothless," she said.
He grinned. "Challenge accepted." He ran in the direction of Toothless' camp. Moments later, we heard an annoyed roar from Toothless, then flapping and running.
We saw Jack running towards the camp, Toothless snapping at his staff as he ran. Jack was laughing.
We burst out in laughter at the sight. There was a chunk of snow on Toothless' side, which quickly fell as he flew.
Laughing, Hiccup yelled, "Alright, Toothless, that's enough. Leave the snowman alone."
He growled at Jack once more and flew back to his spot.
"Snowman??" Jack said, exasperated. "You gotta be kidding me."
"Who's next?" Merida asked.
"I am!" Hiccup said.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to kiss me," she challenged playfully. Jack and I looked at her, bewildered. "What!?" we exclaimed together.
Hiccup walked over and kissed her on the lips. "There," he said happily. He walked back to his seat.
"I guess it wasn't a unicorn," I mumbled.
Merida and Hiccup laughed joyfully.
"Your turn, Rapunzel," said Merida. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Do you like Jack?" she asked curiously.
I inhaled. Why!? "Yes!" I squeaked, and looked away.
"You do??" Jack exclaimed.
I peeked at him. "Woulda thought that yesterday would've proved that.."
"Told you," said Hiccup smugly.
"Do you like Rapunzel??" Merida asked Jack.
He sat there for a moment. I looked at him hopefully.
"Yes," he said finally. "But I can't be with you, Punzie. I'm sorry."
Without looking at anyone else, he ducked into his tent.
