Now or Never TC1 (Big Four/RotBTD)

Chapter 9

Rapunzel's POV:

Whack! I hit him with the frying pan and he sinks to the floor. Toothless thanks me telepathically, and I smile.

"Goldie!" Jack gasps in horror. He is about to freeze my hands when Toothless jumps between us.

"Thank you Toothless," I say.

"Pascal and I can take it from here." We walk up to Jack, Toothless still growling.

(Picture Anna's face before she punches Hans) Pascal is mimicking me, down to my crossed arms.

"Our dear Hiccup was been possessed by Pitch. Now if you don't want me to tie you up and hang you by a rafter, I suggest that you help me carry Hiccup to his bed."

Then I do an about face and walk over to where Merida is crouched down beside Hiccup.

Pascal sticks out his tongue at Jack over my shoulder. Merida is still staring at me in surprise and approval.

"I'm not callin' yu a wee lamb any more," she comments. I try to keep from smiling.

We drag Hiccup to his bed. When we come back to get the others, Toothless is on top of Jack and is about to incinerate his face.

"Bad dragon!" I say sharply. Toothless sits up and gives me an adorable 'innocent' puppy smile as he sits on him.

"Aww." I hug him, and he gets off. I don't know where my sudden bravery and leadership has come from, but everyone has been staring at me like staring at me will tell them.

"Well," Jack finally says, ruffling his hair, "I guess we all four have leadership capabilities."

"But you should be our official leader," I say cheerfully. He grins, and Merida nods.

"Well, as our official leader, I order us all to go watch Hiccup," he says playfully. Merida and I nod, and we all go together to where he's resting.

"Ahem." We turn to see North and Bunnymund and Sandy standing in the doorway, arms crossed and glaring at us.

We all jump up and put our hands behind our backs and smile innocently, like kids who just stole some candy and have it all stuffed in their mouths.

"You have some explaining to do," Bunnymund states harshly.

"Not me!" Jack calls.

Then Merida and I call, "Not me!" Almost at the same time. Unfortunately, she just beats me. I sigh.

Wait for him to wake up, and for us to confer about our answer," I plead. They slowly nod and reluctantly leave. Phew.

We all turn back to Hiccup. His eyes flutter open, and he mumbles something.

"Magic...lost...found...stop...special...shiny...trolls...valuable...tired..." He falls back asleep. We all groan simultaneously.

"How're weh supposed to understand dat?" Merida asks in desperation.

"One way to find out," Jack responds. We look at him, and he smirks.

"Wait until he wakes up and ask him."

"That could take weeks!" Merida exclaims. I put my hands on my hips.

"I didn't hit him that hard," I grumble. Merida glares at me.

"Would you three stop fighting?" A weak voice asks. We all jump and turn around.

"Hiccup!"
