I Promise [Jackunzel & Mericcup]

Welcome to Town

Merida, Hiccup, Jack and Rapunzel have landed in the forest, right just before the town where Rapunzel came from. Even from all of the trees, the lights coming from the ton could be seen for they had prepared for the celebration of the lost princess’, Rapunzel’s Birthday. Rapunzel couldn’t calm down. She was so excited that she immediately ran out of the forest to enter the town, as she stopped by by the bridge, she jumped around and looked at the others. They rolled their eyes like they were saying that she still acted like a kid. They put up a smile and followed her.

“This is amazing!” Rapunzel exclaimed as she looked around the town.

Rapunzel walked around and was usually being a bit pulled back by her hair for people stepped on it. The three grabbed her hair and sighed, coming closer to Rapunzel, with their hands full just by Rapunzel’s hair. Merida looks around and sees a couple of little girls braiding each other’s hair. Merida whistled to them and pointed to Rapunzel’s hair. They three girls gasped in joy and braided her hair real good. They braided her hair in a more complicated way to make it shorter. They placed flowers on her hair, too, to give it more color and design.

Hiccup suddenly walked away to check something out, and when he returned, he had drinks on his hand. He gave one to Rapunzel and the other to Merida, and since Jack didn’t really needed anything, he didn’t really mind Hiccup not giving him a drink.

The little girls were finally done braiding Rapunzel’s hair. Rapunzel’s hair was now only until her ankles. She twirled around as she showed the others.

“So, what do you think?”

Jack looked at Rapunzel and he was stunned. She was so beautiful that she left Jack speechless and his jaw dropped. Hiccup elbowed Jack and looked at him with an annoying look, like he was saying that Jack likes Rapunzel (Remember Maximus’ face to Flynn/Eugene? Yeah, like that). Jack shoved Hiccup’s face away and just smiled happily as Rapunzel kept jumping around in excitement.

“That’s a whole new look, Punzie! You should keep it!” Merida said.

“Yeah, the flowers are definitely better than the twigs I found in your hair,” Jack teased, making them laugh.

The four of them went around the town. Rapunzel bought the town’s fag which had a color purple and a sun in the middle. They went to libraries, which most interested Hiccup. Rapunzel also bought cupcakes for all of them, including Jack.

“Its fine, Punz. I don’t really need it,” Jack said refusing to eat the cupcake.

Rapunzel insisted, “C’mon, Jack. Just taste it, it’s amazing!”

“Yeah, well, I think people would find it creepy to see a floating cupcake being eaten in thin air. And besides, I don’t think I’d like it,” Jack chuckled.

Merida raised an eyebrow and gave Jack a grin, “How will yeh know that you won’t like it if yeh won’t try it?”

Jack didn’t know what to say, he was caught by Merida. The three laughed and Jack took the cupcake and tasted it… It was really good. He wasn’t much of a sweet tooth but that pastry was something he’d love to eat more often, or maybe the taste of delicacies just got sweeter because Rapunzel was with him, alongside with his new friends. It was just so comforting for him, after 50 years of waiting for someone to finally see him.

Merida and Hiccup split up first from Rapunzel and Jack. Hiccup had to feed Toothless, but Merida offered to do that job, for she wanted to try it.

“You sure you wanna do this, ‘coz this is pretty heavy,” Hiccup said, carrying the basket full of fish.

“Aye! That would be a piece of cake… Remember, I’ve got more muscles than you,” Merida teased, grabbing hold of the basket.

Hiccup chuckled and watched as Merida’s smile shined bright like the sun. Her smile was just so pleasant.

“I’ll meet ya at this spot, okay?” Merida told Hiccup.

Hiccup pointed around a bit awkwardly, “Sure… uhh… I’ll just… Look around the shops close by while you’re there.”

“Alright!” Merida smiled as she walked away to go to Toothless and feed him.

Hiccup put out a shy smile as Merida turned around. He knew he was already feeling something for her. He scratched the back of his head and couldn’t stay calm.

“Aarrggh! That’s so impossible, Hiccup, you idiot! I mean, look at her, and look at you… She will definitely never like someone like you!” He told himself, trying to tell himself to give up on Merida.

But, he just couldn’t. He still held on to a little bit of hope. He looked to his right and saw a small shop that was themed with white and gold. It was so formal and elegant. Hiccup went closer to see what kind of shop it was.

And when he entered the shop as he looked around, he saw something worth buying. At first, he told himself to not buy it, since it could be a waste of money, but, he couldn’t stop himself. He grabbed for it and went to the counter to pay for it.
