"Would you like whip cream, nuts, and a cherry?" I asked the person speaking through the drive-thru order window

"Whip cream an' a cherry please." It had a slight accent

"That'll be $5.89. Second window." I told it and turned off the mic. I opened the window and a grey-blue convertible pulled up.

The girl in the front seat had sunglasses on and a ponytail filled with unruly red-orange hair.

It was Merida.

"Oh hey Merida!" I smiled

"What's up Jack?" Merida asked jokingly

"Oh nothing really." I told her, taking her $10 and giving her change, "Ugh. I can't wait to get off. I mean I love the freezing cold temp but I hate the friendly service with a smile!"

"Jack. Jack! Jack!!!" Merida yelled, "My ice cream. Can I have it now?"

I turn to grab it when Mr. Peterson yells from behind his Home Living magazine, "Just give her the damn ice cream and stop flirting with the lady!"

I blushed and handed her the sundae.

"When's your break, Jack?" She glanced at me taking off her sunglasses

"10 minutes."

"I'll drive you home." She drove away and parked in front of the store

"Jack. You have a girlfriend." Mr. Peterson didn't look up from the magazine that gave free tips and tricks to keeping patio chairs good-as-new

"Why yes I-"

"Why are you flirting with customers?"

"I'm not-"

"Think of your girlfriend. And stop flirting with the customers Jack. You're not as good looking as you think."

"Yea and you're a model too." I mumbled

"Your shift is over. Unless you'd like to stay and work some more without pay, of which I'd gladly accept such an offer, I suggest you leave."

I ripped off my sanitary plastic gloves and jumped over the counter, receiving a look from Mr. Peterson.

Running outside I jumped into the passenger seat in Merida's car, almost knocking her sundae out of her hands.

"Woah. Watch it." She held the ice cream away from me

"Sorry. Hi."

She sighed and shook her head, "You're a pain Jack. A real pain."

I took a spoon from the cup holder and started eating her ice cream, "Can I? Thanks."

"You look like you haven't eaten in weeks."

"Punzi keeps making this weird organic hazelnut stuff. I swear I'd rather eat haggis."

"Never say you'd rather eat haggis. Never."

"I'm just so done with her."

"Wait. Are you goin' to break up with her?!? Cause if you are you can get out of me car and stop eatin' me ice cream!" She took the ice cream away and sat up straight

"No! No. No. No! I'm not gonna break up with her. I love her, truly. She just keeps trying to make me eat weird organic mysteries and get me back to college. I don't want to go to college."

"Well tell her that."

"I can't do that. She'd have my hide. She'd be crying and upset at me and I'd be terrible!"

"Fou Fhould Falk Fo Fer" Merida explained with a mouthful of mint chip

"I can't understand you when you complain with your mouthful." I laughed

She swallowed and gave me a look, "Jack, I'm sure everything will-"

Mr. Peterson opened the store's front door, "Jack! You have a girlfriend!! Think of her!" He yelled and slammed the door shut.

"I don't know what he thinks but I love Hiccup with all my heart." Merida sighed, "Let's take you home."

"Agreed."
