24 On Air
POV Elsa
He is still sleeping in the sofa at Anna's chocolate boutique. I don't want to wake him up but I have to before Anna comes back to work. "Jack?" I whispered and went to sit next to him. He opens up his cyan blue eyes and he flashes a smile to me. The one that caused my heart to melt.
"It seems that I need to get in trouble more often," he whispered and touched my cheek. "Why?" I said and raised my eyebrow. "If I see an angel every time that I wake up..then it's worth it," he said while his cheeks picked up a slight pink shade.
When he tried to sit he grunted and panted like he was in pain. I see that he's a lot paler than usual. "Are you alright?" I asked and felt worried. "It's like my insides are burning," he gasped and squeezed his stomach.
"We need to see Punzie, s-she might know what to do. For my relief he nodded and reached to my phone. "What are you doing?" I whispered as he dialed a number.
He lifted his index finger up and raised his eyebrow, then someone picked up the call. "Hey butterfly," Jack whispered and I felt a bit annoyed. "Yeah, it was her number," Jack chuckled and gritted his teeth from pain. I saw some sweat forming on his forehead. "Mmmhmmm.. Yeah I will be home for dinner Ems.. Yup I'm at her place... No.. We are not getting married yet," he grinned and glanced at me.
So he was speaking with his sister, I played with my hair nervously until he finished the call. "You need to come to my car," I said and helped him up. He was a bit wobbly with his feet and he laughed. "What's so funny Frost?" I whispered when I placed my hand on his chest as he took support from me.
"Me being pathetic," he said when his voice was cracking. Quickly we moved out from the boutique while the sun was still rising. I helped him into my car and he literally fell on the back seat. "Call Punzie with my phone and ask her to meet us at the plane crashes memorial mark," I said and he glanced at me. "I'm sorry but she knows that place the best in here," I whispered and he sighed before doing the call.
Jack fell asleep while we were driving to meet Punzie. When we arrived to Memorial Mark for the victims Jack was still sleeping. Punzie was waiting for us and stepped into backseat when I pulled over. Immediately she touched his forehead, "Whoa he really has some fever. Do you know what happened?" Punzie asked from me.
"He was poisoned but I made him throw up most of it," I gulped. Punzie bit her lower lip, "We need to know what it was." She sighed and asked me where the bottle is. "I-in the alley.." Jack suddenly whispered and I saw him awake. Quickly I speeded off and to an alley where Jack guided me to go. It was right near Anna's shop. I saw some rubies scattered around and the bottom part had still some liquid on it.
"What did you steal?" I snapped at Jack when I steped inside the car. "Apparently a bottle in the shape of apple which was covered with rubies and inside was the poison," Jack said blankly. I sighed and handed the bottle to Punzie. She sniffed it. "Alright.. gladly this is old type of poison and most of its effects have worn off. "You need to drink some milk," Punzie grinned and Jack looks at her like she is crazy.
"It will restore the balance in your stomach and easy the burning sensation," she said and messed up his hair. Jack rolled his eyes and grinned. "I could offer you both drinks of milk at my home?" He chuckled and Punzie shook her head. "I have a date with Flynn but just drive me back to Memorial mark and then you two can go," she smiled.
Jack looks at me like waiting for my response. "Umm.. that's alright," I said and I brushed a hairstrand behind my ear quickly. "Can I call to Hiccup with your phone?" Jack asked from me and I nodded.
"I lost mine," he whispered and then Hiccup responded. Jack told him how the robbery went and I literally wanted to kill Evilia Queen when Jack got to the part where he was poisoned. Jack smiled slyly for my reaction while being on the phone.
When Punzie was left to Memorial Mark and I drove us to Jack's home we went inside together. "Oh you got home already," Emma greeted us at the hallway after she had heard our coming inside. "Hello Elsa, I can tell your steps anywhere," she grinned but then she narrowed her eyebrows.
"Jack? Something wrong?" She asked and I glance at Jack who flashes a smile. "Y-yea sis, I'm just tired," Jack whispered and messed up my hair causing me to groan. "I see," Emma mumbled and with a hum she rolled her wheelchair to living room.
"Now the milk," Jack said and took a couple of shaking steps towards kitchen. I went there with him and helped him in front of desk. "So the glasses are--," he started but I already was in the middle cabinet, opening the right door and reaching the lower shelf. Jack turned red and closed his mouth.
I grinned, "Yeah. I know where your glasses are and also where's the fridge." Jack messed up his hair which he does when he is nervous. "Take two glasses," he said when I placed one in front of him. I nodded and took one more and then took some milk from fridge.
Jack poured us both glass filled with milk and he quickly drank his with almost one go. I took a careful sip from mine and when he had finished I chuckled and pointed at him. His eyes were sparkling playfully and he smirked. "What?" He asked half laughing. "Y-you have milk mustache," I said and leaned forward to wipe the milk off. "Mmhmm.. I feel better already thanks for asking," he whispered mischievously and kissed me all of a sudden. "So, some breakfast done by Jack?" He said and stood up. He threw his jacket on the chair and started taking out pans.
"You can cook?" I gulped and he raised his eyebrow cockily. "Yea. I was born in a family that wasn't rich, I helped mum out in the kitchen while I was growing up.. I usually ask the cooks take weekends off so I can cook," he shrugged and went to food cabinet.
POV Merida
"Now you three, behave yourselves or I'll tell mum about you," I murmured to my younger brothers who were standing in line. They gave their usual remarkable looks to each others. "I swear," I hissed and they nodded their heads. "Yup, we swear to behave sis," they said in unison and I sighed. For some reason I knew that they would be lying.
"Where's my girl?" I heard daddy yelling from living room. He had just come home from night of work. He was one of the police officers in Burgess. "Daddy!" I yelled happily and run to hug him. He might work on serious business but he is really nice person once you get to know him.
"So where's the boy that wiped the feet from under my fierce child?" Daddy smiled and patted my shoulder. "Ah, he'll be here soon for brunch. Mom is preparing the meal," I smirked. Daddy raised his eyebrow, "Shouldn't you be helping her?" I sighed," Daddy, even though I'm a girl it doesn't mean that I should live in the kitchen. Besides.. I had to preach those annoyances called little brothers." I murmured and daddy laughed.
When the doorbell rang I heard three pairs of feet running forward. "No," I gasped as I realized that my little brothers got on the door before me. "So you're the guy dating our sister," I heard Harris saying with his teenager voice that changes in note. "Yup, so I guess she warned me about you?" Hiccup laughed and I see how my brothers got a bit surprised.
"Hey!" I exhaled when I pushed my little brothers aside. Gosh, how can 13 year olds be so annoying. My brothers run past me and Hiccup stands on the doorway and crossed his arms, "They seem nice." He smiled and walked inside after taking his shoes off.
When Hiccup passed me I saw a note attached to his back. It said 'Kick me' and I quickly took it away and Hiccup glanced at me. "Nothing," I said with my voice going high. Honestly I'll kill them if they decide to do anything worse.
My daddy was already handshaking Hiccup when I got in the living room. My mother on the other hand was looking excited. You could practically hear the wedding bells that were ringing inside her head. "So when is it going to be official?" Mom said happily and I signaled her to stop.
"What?" Hiccup chuckled and glanced at me. My cheeks turned red and when he turned around to look at my mom again I did a facepalm. "I mean, when are you two getting married?" My mom exhaled.
Now Hiccup was turning red and then he looks at me. "We'll see," he said and grinned. Daddy winked his eye to me, oh gosh. Here we go again.
"So son--," my daddy started and placed his hand over Hiccup's shoulder, "-- you know that my daughter has a fiery personality?" Hiccup agreed and I saw how my brothers were putting something on Hiccup's chair in the dining room. I quickly run there and took the fart pillow away, giving them an angry glare.
When I look at the living room I see that Hiccup is getting along with my parents. "Hiccs!" I called for him and he turned around. I nodded my head towards a corridor where my room is. He nodded and excused himself before coming with me.
"I want to show you my room," I smiled and he chuckled. "I.. um.. I have problems with my computer," I lied and he hummed. "Skulls and lightning bolts?" He said and glanced at me when we were standing in front of my room. He was looking at the sign ordering to knock.
He chuckled and knocked three times before he got inside. "Hey, it's just that my brothers need great measures to keep them out!" I said a bit annoyed but I noticed that Hiccup was already with my computer.
"The password --," I started but I noticed that he was already inside the system. "Huh?" I gulped and he looked at me over his shoulder. "I have my ways," he smiled. Did he just hack my computer?
"Umm.. there's nothing wrong with your computer?" He whispered and turned himself other way with my chair. "Oh, my fault. I-it's in my tablet.. the error," I whispered and pointed at my bed where my tablet was. Hiccup hummed and stood up.
He sat on my bed and took my tablet to his hands. "You just have too much stuff in here, let me --," he said but couldn't finish. He got startled when I went in front of him. I pushed him from his chest and he fell on my bed.
"Hiccs.. I just.. uh.." I mumbled and crawled on bed on top of him. "Mer, what are you?" He whispered but I placed my finger in front of his mouth and told him to hush. I cupped his cheeks and kissed him, his hand went behind of my back and the tablet fell on the bed.
I sat on his lap and my hand went under his shirt when I kissed him. Then my leg hit on something and I broke free from the kiss. "Huh?" I gasped and reached to his pants pocket. There was something hard and square shaped and I took it out.
"Mer, give it back," Hiccup was panting when I looked at the little box that I found from his pants. "Shut up," I ordered him and slowly opened it up.
"WAAAAA!" I squealed when I saw a golden ring inside with a flaming red ruby in the middle. "I wanted to ask your father's permission first b-but.. will you marry me?" He whispered and I grabbed his shirt and pulled him up. "Yes," I whispered and kissed him.
SLAM!
The door slammed open and Harris pulled me away from Hiccup. My brother was squeezing me hardly and my other two brothers were staring at Hiccup with fury in their eyes. "WHY ARE YOU HARASSING OUR SISTER!" Hamish yelled and Hubert nodded. Hiccup was shocked and still laying on my bed.
"Umm.." Hiccup mumbled. "Harris, Hubert and Hamish!" I shouted and everyone startled. My daddy was peeking from the doorway. "First of all READ THE SIGN AND KNOCK! And second get the hell out, --" I hissed and my brothers were sneaking out. "Third.. Daddy look!" I showed him the ring that I quickly put in my ring finger.
Daddy gasped and Hiccup protected his head with his arms when my daddy ran to him. "This is wonderful!" Daddy laughed and took Hiccup into a hug. Hiccup seemed confused at first but then he laughed and hugged him back. "Sorry, I was going to ask from you first," Hiccup said but daddy told him that nothing was wrong.
I quickly run to my mother and she squealed when she saw the ring. Wait, I don't usually get this excited but for some reason getting married with Hiccup got me in this mood. Hiccup came to living room with others and we all went to eat.
"So what's your job?" My daddy asked from Hiccup. "Well.. umm.. it varies, I actually work for an artist who is also my best friend. He needs some guidance," Hiccup said and shrugged his shoulders. My daddy hummed, "Sounds good. I'm a police officer." Then my daddy sighed.
"Oh yeah, how was last night on duty?" Hiccup asked politely and I glance at my dad. He has been exhausted lately. "Well, there are thieves that are causing trouble. First it was just Snowflake Burglar but now there's the crime group called the Nightmares and.. now they even seem to work together." Daddy said and slammed his fork into a piece of meat.
"So they caused trouble?" Hiccup said and daddy finished munching his food. "Yes. Last night it was just Snowflake Burglar but he took something valuable." he sighed but then he grinned. "We have a clue however," daddy said victoriously and Hiccup almost suffocated to his food.
"Are you alright?" I whispered to Hiccup when I patted his back. He nodded his head and I smiled faintly. "Anyway rest of it is classified," my daddy smiled.
POV Jack
After Elsa had left I took a long nap until my table phone rang. "Jackson Overland," I responded and a female voice laughed happily on the other side. "Yeah?" I asked.
"It's Toothiana from radio channel 'Hope and Memory'," the voice spoke and I sat on my chair. "Yeah, I've listened to you," I said and took a pen in my hand. I started to sketch on paper while I was chatting. I noticed that I was drawing Elsa's eyes and I couldn't not to smile.
"Hello?" Toothiana said and woke me up from my daze. "Uh, yup?" I said. "I said that I would like to do an interview for you.. today," she giggled.
"Oh yeah, about my art?" I said and she agreed. I promised to meet her at radio channel's studio in two hours.
The studio looked amazing when I finally was ready and got there. I pressed the doorbell and I saw a tall woman coming to the door. Her hair had some purple stripes on it and she was dressed a bit boho style. Immediately she gave me a hug, "I kindly welcome you here!" She said and then kissed my cheek when backing up.
Her actions got me a bit embarrassed and my cheeks blushed. "Yeah.. Thanks for inviting me," I smiled and went inside. Then I saw Bunnymund, he was tall as well and muscular. He had a sleeveless white t-shirt and his arms had black tribal tattoos. His hair was short and white. "Hey mate, c'mon in," he nodded towards the glass room where they do their recording.
I went inside the glass room with Toothiana. "Bunny will deal with the airing while I do the interview," she smiled. "Are you alright mister Overland?" She asked. I ruffled my hair," Yeah. How come?" I chuckled.
Her smile was concerned, "You seem a bit pale." I shook my head, "No. I'm fine, I just ate something spoiled this morning." I leaned back on my chair when Bunny told us that in sixty seconds we would be on air.
BEEP.
"So hello everyone and welcome to listen to 'Hope and Memory'. Bunny is today filing for Sandy in controls to get us on air but I have a special guest to interview today. He is town's famous artist, Mr Jackson Overland. He is the creator of the beautiful winter themed paintings and snowflakes." Toothiana introduced me and I waited for my turn.
"Hello. It's really nice to be invited here," I said and greeted the listeners. Toothiana cleared her throat, "Mr Overland, how did you get the inspiration to your paintings?" She asked from me.
"Well, Toothiana, first of all just call me Jackson," I grinned to her and she blushed. "And second, I just try to see the little things in life and do art from my heart," I said and leaned back.
"Is that so? Well how about your ambitions?" She asked and flashed me a smile. "Well, I just want to make a living with my art and perhaps give some to charity," I said and shrugged my shoulders. "So Jackson Overland has a heart of gold, my dear listeners! And now girls, stay tuned since in the studio is the handsome man and most wanted guy in burgess. Yeah he certainly is the one with that heart melting smile, amazingly warm brown eyes and that messy sexy hair. Be jealous since I'm here live with him," Toothiana said with a playful tone and I gulped and crossed my arms nervously.
"Next question?" I practically whispered and she giggled. "See girls, Mr. Overland is getting a bit embarrassed, how cute! And now the question we've all waited for. Do you have anyone close to your heart, a girl perhaps?" She said with a voice dripping of honey.
"Well Mr. Overlad?" Toothiana giggled and touched my hand. My heart was racing and I mumbled a response. "Oo! I'm sure that no one listening on the radio heard that response of yours. Say it aloud," Toothiana said and smirked.
I sighed deeply, "Yeah.. There's one girl." I managed to say and then I gulped loudly. "Well well girls, it seems that our hot bachelor isn't free anymore so.. better get your nails sharpened if you wish for a battle over his heart," Toothiana stated to microphone.
Toothiana leaned closer to me and smiled before asking me what I did before becoming an artist. I told her about me being poor and how I made some various small jobs to earn money. I never mentioned about my criminal career. She ended her airing soon after that.
My hands were shaking after the interview. "You did just fine," she giggled and threw me a water bottle. I thanked her quietly and then I left the airing glass booth. "Come again any time," Toothiana yelled after me and I waved my hand.
When I left from the studios and walked on the sidewalk I noticed how some guy was following me. "What's bugging you!" I snapped when I turned around. He just smiled and asked me to follow him nicely. Something in his voice told me that either I will do it willingly or not. I sighed and stuffed my hands in my pockets and then I nodded my head. He turned around and I started to walk after him. I wonder what this guy wants from me. Perhaps he is some crazy fan of mine, wishing for an autograph or something like that.
