Rapunzel: Jack!

Merida: Jack!

They chase after Jack before it cuts to show her leaning on a rock up the hill. Tears down her face and breathing heavily.

Moana: Hey, hey, it's okay. Everything's gonna be okay.

Jack: (sniffle) How?! How is it okay?!... She was looking for answers about me.

Merida: Yer noot responseble for har choicez.

Jack: No, just her death!

Jack aggressively brushes off Merida's hand and hugs herself as she tries to walk away. Hiccup steps in front of her with his hands on her arms.

Hiccup: Jack, no... Look, the guardians told us about how you used to question your role. Now you do not bring death. The others might give the children hopes and dreams but you bring them genuine happiness. You're the embodiment of fun. You are a gift, Jack.

Jack: ... For what?

Hiccup: If anyone can find this Ahtohallan... if anyone can uncover the answers and find out why you hear that little voice, it is you. (Hold her hands) We believe in you, Jack. More than anyone or anything.

Stoick and Gobber couldn't help but feel a certain amount of joyful pride at how well Hiccup was dealing with the situation. Being a leader and a good friend wasn't easy but he managed to make it look like cake.

All the parents still couldn't help but feel warmth at the fact that their children had become such kind and loyal friends so quickly. Taking the time to help one another in such distress.

The others put hands on her shoulders in support and Jack couldn't help but give a small smile at their loving faces. She then looks past the beach, towards the horizon in thought. She takes a few steps towards it and the others watch her movements. She bites her index knuckle as she comes to a conclusion.

Jack: The ocean clearly isn't keen on people looking for Ahtohallan. (Turns to them) But we need to get there to find answers. Not only on why Emma was having those dreams, but it may even be where the voice is coming from.

Rapunzel: So we go to Ahtohallan.

Jack: ... Not we, me.

Merida: Wut?

Jack: I'm the only one who can fly over the water.

"Jack, come on," Moana groaned at the situation. Resting her head on her fist, feeling exhausted at this whole ordeal they've been witnessing.

"None of you should be going alone," Sina tried to reason.

"Well, I mean, she has a point. She's the only one who can fly-"

"Don't give her any ideas!" Astrid punched Fishlegs' shoulder for his input. Who, in return, squealed a bit at the impact.

Jack: Not to mention we don't have a boat, nor any mode of transportation since North left.

Rapunzel: No Jack, we do this together.

Moana: I'm sure we can just explain to the ocean what's going on and why we're looking-

Jack shook her head with a sorrowful look at Moana's plan.

Jack: The ocean hasn't seen you in 3000 years! You really think it'll take kindly to the one who took you away?! I'm not gonna risk anything from stopping me!
