POV Elsa

As everyone else was too busy to notice I walked onto a boutique that was located in the mall where we had just entered. My hand touches the soft fabric of a dress with knee high bottom. I look at the price tag when I hear a laugh behind me. “Get it! I will put it on my credit card,” I glance angrily at Jack who is now leaning over my shoulder. His hair is tickling my cheek. I use my shoulder to push him further away from me. However he places his arm over my shoulder, “Chill out ice princess.”

“Really funny!” I snap at him and try to break his grip. “And I know that I can just take this,” I quickly pull the dress from the rack. “No one is really concerned about their sells now, at a time like this,” I whisper and feel how he let’s go off me.

He is watching me from head to toe and he smirks. “You look like crap,” he points at me laughing. I go to a dressing mirror and see myself. My hair is stained with dried blood and it is all over my clothes. Even my leg has a cut that has closed by itself. My eyelids are bright pink since I didn’t sleep well. Actually I have had nightmares every night even before this disaster. My makeup has failed me.

Jack grabs my hand, “There must be a store for makeup, maybe they have cleaning wipes or something,” he smiles to me. He saw me vulnerable, I let my guard down. We walk in the empty corridors and he is chatting. “This was my first time in so high competition! How about you? You must have been doing your stuff for years?” He was watching straight into my eyes, talking about my ice skating.

“Yeah.. I did years ago in children’s league but I quit for some time because..” My response is cut when we hear loud yelling. “Marco!” It is Hiccup. ”Polo!” Punzie responses. I and Jack go to railing, in the mall there is a wide round opening in the middle. It has 4 floors and we are in the second. I look up and see Hiccup one floor up and Punzie is one floor down. “What are you doing!” I yell whisper to them and they laugh. “Checking out the place!” A loud yell sounds from the highest floor, it is Merida.

“We will do one thing before we come downstairs!” Jack forms a megaphone from his hands as he yells. After that he smirks to me mischievously and takes my hand. “Prepare to run,” he winks his eye and takes few quick steps. As he sees that I follow him he moves faster and finally runs.

“This is too fast!” I try to pull my hand free but he laughs. “This is fun! Don’t you think!” He is so annoying person. Suddenly I hit to his back when he stops like he has hit a wall. “This is PERFECT!” He yells in excitement and for my terror I see a hair dresser’s boutique.

“Oh god no,” I exhale and he pulls me inside. “Don’t try to resist or I might cut your ear off or something like that,” He wraps a paper around my neck and forces me to sit onto a chair in front of washing pool. “So what should I use?” I see how he goes through a line of bottles. “Just something that says shampoo!” I gasp in panic, what if he colors my head purple!

He splashes water over my head and squeezes some shampoo on my hair. He wraps his sleeves up and I feel his bony fingers touching my head. He seems focused when he rubs my head. When he washes the shampoo off Jack places his hand over my eyes, protecting them from painful shampoo attacks.

“Done!” He spreads his hands and closes the tab. “I am soaking wet,” I whined to him and his mouth forms an ‘o’. He offers me a towel. “Do it to the end when you’ve started something,” I said and sat on the chair where hair dressers do their finishing touches.

“Uh..” Jack is standing next to me, holding the towel and approaching my head from many directions but hesitates at final moments. “Just rub it with towel,” I roll my eyes to him and he presses the towel on my head.

“Much better,” I smile to him when he finishes. Sadly we couldn’t use hairdryer since the powers are out. “So how about some clothes?” He pinches my dress and lifts the bottom part, I slap his hand and told him to stop.

“Sorry,” He laughs. “But seriously you need fresh clothes.” Why is he so friendly all of a sudden? These things end up badly always, even Hans was a jerk when things stop running smoothly. I just can’t figure out why Anna is dating Hans. This time Jack is right and I sigh, “Alright.”

We went back to the store that we left before and I actually took the dress that I was looking at just before. It resembled my old one a lot but it had a belt which was handy to place my silver gun. As I went to fitting room to change Jack threw something to me. “Fresh skin cleaning wipes?” I watch at the packet and he shrugs his shoulders.

“You saved my sorry ass for couple of times, consider this as my way to thank you. You look like crap because of me,” he laughs nervously and his hand goes through his hair as he turns around. “T-thank you,” I say shyly as I close the curtain. I hear him walking away. Quickly I clean my skin from the blood before I change clothes.

Everyone is in the lowest floor chatting and I see that they have changed onto clean clothes also. “Hi Elsa!” Punzie squeals excited, “We decided that we are going to play truth or dare!” Merida groans, “More likely she forced us.” Hiccup is taking off his chest plates of his assault suit for the first time. I see that he wears black clothes under it that had been stayed clean but the armor suit needed some cleaning.

Punzie points everyone to sit in a circle. “So here are the rules, we will spin this bottle in the middle,” she shows us the empty cola bottle. “And the person who spins will ask ‘truth or dare’ from the person who the narrow end of the bottle points. Simple? You understand?” Everyone is nodding.

”I will start,” Punzie is waving her head happily from side to side as she grabs the bottle and spins. The bottle is rolling fast and the slower. The narrow end points at Merida. Punzie clears her throat, “truth or dare?”

Merida glances at Punzie and seems unease. Finally Merida tells that she will take the truth. Punzie asks about Merida’s family. “Uh.. They’re in Ireland, my three brothers and my parents plus my grumpy grandpa. I hope that they’re alright and this infection hasn’t spread there,” she whispers. Suddenly she cheers up, “I bet they’re fine! My dad is the head of military there! I even believe that he is on his way to get me back home!” She grabs the bottle and spins before no one could comment, for the looks of it she didn’t want anyone to comment.

The bottle points at Punzie. “Is this allowed in the rules? Allowed that the first spinner will answer?” Hiccup asks but still his speech is quite emotionless. I guess that happens when first your ex threatens to cut your fingers off, then you see her dying, then turning into an evolved undead and then seeing her attack you with desire for your flesh and finally your idol cuts her head off. That would leave a scar into me also.

“It is ok!” Punzie chirps, ” I will take the dare!” Merida rubs her chin and her eyes narrow, she seems cunning. “I dare you Punzie to stand on your head!” Punzie shrugs her shoulders and smiles happily. Easily she places her hands on ground and is now standing upside down. “I can walk too!” She mocks Merida and takes some steps forward with her hands. “She is a gymnastic champion, you know,” Gladly Hiccup shows sign of amusement right now when he mocked at Merida.

Punzie spins the bottle again and it goes to Hiccup. “Dare,” Hiccup answers and Punzie giggles. “Kiss Jack!” Jack’s mouth drops, “Hell no! This wasn’t my dare!” Punzie is nodding, ”It is for Hiccup but you need to do it also.” Hiccup is laughing and his eyes are filled with tears. “J-just do it! I won’t bite.. In here,” he points at his lips. Jack has sweat forming on his forehead as he glances at Hiccup in terror. “Nope man, nope!” He exhales.

“Grab him!” Punzie yells and jumps on Jack’s lap and Merida takes a hold from his shoulders. “Help!” Jack stares at me but I turn my head to other direction, the situation is making me chuckle. Just in nick of time I look back and see Hiccup closing to Jack. They kissed. Jack’s eyes were wider than ever before and the girls let go of him just after the kiss. Jack fell to ground and was almost pulling his tongue out. “Gaah.. Why, why,” he was moaning. ”Stop complaining! It was just a dare!” He watched me angrily because of my words.

“My turn!” Hiccup laughed and spin the bottle. It landed on me. “Do a dare,” Jack said with cold voice, “it is just a dare? Right?” He grinned deviously and I nodded to him, “Yeah! Just like I said!” I looked straight to Hiccup, ”Give me a dare.” I saw how Jack had written something on a paper that he quickly handed to Hiccup. Something horrible I guess, in return for not to help.

Hiccup read the note Jack handed to him and smiled happily. “W-well?” I am now feeling not so certain about my choice. “Kiss Jack!” Punzie gasped next to me, “No way! He needs to be kissed again!”

Hiccup was laughing and nodding. Jack was just smirking and then pointed at his lips, ”Right here.” I sighed, “Fine but not in public, please?” Hiccup approved my wish and we left the others.

“Where you want to do it?” Jack asked me curiously. “Uh.. somewhere where they can’t see.” Jack pointed at a outdoor shop, ”That alright for you?” I nodded and my cheeks were feeling warm. Stupid game.

We are standing in a way that we face each other. He has crossed his arms and stares at me with that mischievous smirk of his. “Well?” He says cockily and I am frozen solid, I can’t move a muscle. He chuckles and leans forward, closing his eyes and his arms go around my back. His lips brush against mine and then they touch fully. His lips feel warm and soft as he kisses me. Wait? He kisses me? I just lost the dare, didn’t I..

”Mmmh..” Was the only thing I could say when I pushed him away from me. “You did that on purpose!” I gasp and he laughs. ”Totally did!” He winks his eye and my cheeks blush. ”You made me loose on purpose!” He seems surprised now and he shakes his head. “Didn’t mean that. I wanted to kiss you, don’t you see it?”

We stood there silent and he seemed more restless by every second that we were there, not talking. “I really like you Elsa? You know that?” I couldn’t respond to him. That weird guy tried to pull a move at me, trying to thaw my cold heart, my cold heart that I created over the years to protect me. Hah! Sorry to tell you but you just lost mister!

“Thanks,” I say coldly and leave the shop. He is left there standing. I go to circle where others are sitting and I sit with them. “Well?” Hiccup says with excitement. ”We kissed,” I say shortly and I hear some slow steps coming from behind of me. Jack sits next to me without his normal smile and happy attitude.

“Let’s continue,” he sighs and I spin the bottle. It points at Merida. “Do it for Jack first, he hasn’t done it yet,” Punzie smiles to me. I don’t look at Jack because of what happened before. “Truth or dare?” I ask him quietly. ”Truth,” he responses coldly.

”Where is your family?” I ask from him and see how he turns his head away. “I have a sister but she is living abroad with my aunt. Our parents died in car crash when Emma was 4 and I was 10 years old. I have been living either in foster homes or at the streets after that, my aunt couldn’t afford to raise both of us.” He sounds heartbroken. Then suddenly Jack stands up and throws the bottle to wall, it shatters into many pieces because it was made from glass. “Stupid game!” He yells and goes away, leaving us here.

“Uh…maybe we should find something to eat?” Punzie laughs nervously. Hiccup tells us that he will check out if there is more weapons for us and tells us something about making molotov’s. We girls could bring something to eat, hoard some food. He is so old fashioned if he believes that women are only good in kitchen. We see Jack nowhere in the mall when we search the small food store and some food stands.

Just when we were finishing the search we hear loud knocking and yelling at the front doors. Me, Merida and Punzie look at each other, without a word we decide to check out what it is about. There are few guys who seem to be chased by some of those undead. We open the door and a man wearing black leather clothes steps in. He throws his motorcycle helmet towards one of things and then the other two that were with him run inside and close the door.

“Hi, my name is Punzie!” Punzie goes to the man in black leather suit and offers her hand. The man smiles deviously. “Hello there lady, my name is Pitch!” He tooks Punzie’s hand and kisses it which made Punzie giggle. Who are these people?

POV Jack

After climbing up onto a rooftop of a small hamburger stand I felt little better. Some silence and peace at last. I lean my head on my hands as I lay down to my back. I close my eyes. I am better on my own.

A cold feeling is pressing my neck, I open my eyes and gasp. A girl is staring at me and holding a knife on my neck, she covers my mouth. “Shhh!” she whispers and points the knife towards the gap in the middle of the mall. I see that there are more people with others. “My name is Mulan,” she whispers, “and those people are trouble!” I narrow my eyes and push her aside.

“They were chasing me and I managed to sneak inside the mall,” she whispers as I crawl to the edge of the small rooftop. “Pitch!” I gasp in shock. “You know him?” Mulan sounds curious. “Unfortunately yes,” I swallow the lump from my throat. They don’t know who they’re dealing with, they would run like Mulan did if they would know.

A/N:

So here comes Pitch with two other guys and Jack meets Mulan! What do you believe is going to happen next? ;)

Your thoughts about the spin the bottle game? In Finland this is how we play it, we ask 'truth or dare' from the persn that the bottle points at!

There will be other Disney and Dreamworks characters coming up later on.

Next chapter will go across the seas to Norway. Yeah! WE WILL SEE ANNA! Are you guys readyyy?!
