'So, that's where my short story ends... That's what happened 250 years ago.'

Jack was sitting by the branch of the tree. He was staring at the town where Jamie lived, which was once the town Rapunzel ruled. After centuries, her kingdom still stayed strong and became a successful place until the present.

'What happened to Hiccup and Merida? They had 7 kids. They were a pretty lucky royal family to have those many children. Heheh... Well, for me and Punz, We didn't have children, but agreed to let one of Merida and Hiccup's children rule the kingdom. And it turned out to be really great!'

Jack suddenly put on a gloomy face. He went down the tree and held a lantern on his one hand... And for the first time, he was able to light the lantern without getting hurt from the heat. He held the lantern as he slowly walked forward, stopping at a spot close to the town. He looks below him to reveal four thombstones, with names carved, "Merida Haddock", "Hiccup Haddock III", "Toothless", "Rapunzel Frost".

He kneels down and touches the thombstone of Rapunzel. He smiled as he remembers the memories he had with her, starting from the time he first met her when she was a baby until he stayed beside her until her last breath. Rapunzel leaving him was the most painful thing he has ever experienced. He didn't know if he could even smile again after her death, but, he promised Rapunzel that he will still try to smile and have fun even if Rapunzel wasn't beside her for her not to worry.

As Rapunzel died, so did the power of the droplet of the sun and the moon. And as years passed after Rapunzel, Hiccup and Merida's death, the people slowly forgot about Jack until he was once again, invisible to everybody.

"Hey, there, Punz. Guess what... I was really someone before I became chosen," Jack said, looking at Hiccup's grave after saying that line.

"Whataya know, Hiccup... I was your uncle. Jeez, that kind of made me feel a bit awkward when I knew about that," Jack teased as he chuckled.

He looked at the necklace Rapunzel gave him that had the droplet of the sun and moon, which now only looked like drops of water and no longer shined... Not even a spark.

"I seriously miss you guys," tears suddenly formed in Jack's eyes as he looked down to try to cover up his tears and wiped them off.

He tried to hold on a smile, "Don't worry, Punz. I still haven't forgotten about my promise," Jack smirked.

Jack wore the necklace once again made it snow only at the place of the four graves. Snowflakes fell and Jack left flowers in each one of their graves.

He stood up and sighed deeply.

"They must've been really dear to you, right, mate?"

Jack looked behind him and saw his fellow guardians, each of them holding a lantern.

"So, you all still remembered what I told you about them, eh?" Jack couldn't help but smile. Eversince he got his memories back, he started to be more open to the guardians and told them about his adventure with Hiccup, Merida and Rapunzel.

"Just because we seem to be busy every day for children doesn't mean we don't have time to visit," North said.

Jack looked at Sandy, "Thanks for helping me dream of those times, Sandy."

Sandy gave him a thumbs up and they finally let go of the lanterns. Jack looked back at the graves of his dear friends and the love of his life as he watched the lanterns float in the sky. Memories of the four of them together out in an adventure came across Jack's mind, with Rapunzel's face flashing inside Jack's head. He would do anything just to hear her angelic voice again and see her sweet smile.
