Seasons of Youth (RotBTFD)

Summer ☼ Part 4

A/N: Hi, guys! Here goes another chapter and, boy, this one is a BIG one. I squeezed a whole month of summer vacation into this chapter and I hope you guys have fun reading it! I sure as hell had a lot of fun writing it. (and sorry for the delay on the update, life's been crazy busy lately).

The wind blows through Moana's hair as she zig-zags over the water, faster than any other surfer on sight. The waves carry her with such grace, as if the ocean is her best friend and wouldn't dream of hurting her. She dances over the waves as the sunlight turns drops of water in the air around her into shiny diamonds.

"She's really good at this", Hiccup admires from the beach.

"A little help over here?", Jack asks, trying to stick a white and blue parasol in the sand. His shoulders are already a bit red from the sun.

Merida appears, drinking coconut water from a green coconut with a little yellow umbrella on it, wearing a shirt over her swimsuit.

"Oh, finally some shade", she passes the coconut to Hiccup and walks to Jack, helping him with the parasol. "I'm not made for all this sunlight."

"Are you kidding?" Rapunzel laughs, scrubbing sunscreen on her own arms. She wears sunglasses, a flowery hat and a purple polkadot bikini. "I've been dreaming about sunshine and blue skies..."

"Here, love, let me help you", Flynn gets the sunscreen bottle from her and scrubs some on her back.

"That's because you actually get tanned", Merida says, sitting under the parasol, "I stay under this much sun and the only thing I get is very red, very achy and very angry."

"Angrier", Hiccup smiles and Merida scowls.

"Well, I'm with Meri." Jack says, taking a sit next to her, under the parasol. "I'm not in the mood for a sunburn." It might be a little too late for that, though.

Astrid runs towards them, coming from the ocean, dripping wet. Hiccup catches himself blushing as he looks at her in her sports bikini.

"Aren't you guys going for a swim?", she asks, breathing heavily through a smile. "The water is great!"

"Hum, maybe latter", Rapunzel says, stretching on her beach mat.

Their summer was great, so far. Their first stop was on Rapunzel's family beach house. Being as rich as royalty, her family owned a huge mansion by the ocean, on a private beach.

"I think we've got a ball in the car, do you guys wanna play?", Jack offers.

"Yeah! Boys versus girls!" Merida says, excitedly.

"Cool, I'll go get it." Jack takes off.

"I'm gonna call Moana, cause Rapunzel's obviously not going anywhere, anytime soon", Astrid springs back towards the ocean and Rapunzel nods, agreeably.

"I'mma work on my tan.", she says.

"Flynn, you up for it?", Merida asks.

"Sure.", he shrugs, smiling.

Jacks comes back with the ball and they gather around a volleyball net. Jack, Hiccup and Flynn on one side, Merida, Astrid and Moana on the other. Rapunzel gets the task of keeping scores.
