Merida and Hiccup's story- chapter 12
Chapter 12-struggled and hope
"That was incredible!" Astrid praised Merida as the girls walked from the archery ring.
"You're not so bad yourself" Merida complimented her friend "I can't remember anyone who shoots arrows as good as you".
"Well, I've been athletic since I was 1" Astrid added. The girls had become the best of friends in the short time Merida had been in Berk, sadly Merida was going home tomorrow but she'd had the time of her life. Not only because she was on an island filled with excitement and adventure but also because she loved being with Hiccup who was now out flying with Toothless.
"Oh, my dad always told me I was meant to do archery, because I used to play with his bow" Merida said as they reached the blacksmith's shop. "I wish you and the others could come to DunBroch one day".
Astrid's face dropped, she would like to visit Merida's home land, but it was risky. It was hard enough for Hiccup but Astrid and their friends were more 'viking' than Hiccup so they would be imprisoned immediately.
"Merida, can I ask you something?"
"Aye. What's the matter" Merida asked as she saw Astrid's face change.
"Have you and Hiccup ever talked about if your parents found out the truth, you do know the risks both of you taking?" Astrid said.
"Well, it has crossed my mind but I try to not think about it" Merida replied.
"I'm not being mean, but I just want to you and Hiccup to think of the danger, you both could be executed for betrayal" Astrid explained.
"I know" Merida answered.
"It will start a war…" Astrid continued.
"I KNOW" Merida didn't realise she shouted till she saw her friends face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…"
"It's ok" Astrid said softly, placing a hand on her friend's shoulder "I want to protect the two of you. It's a huge risk you're taking".
"Aye, but it's worth it" Astrid could see dream like look in her eyes.
"Yeah, don't stop fighting for your love. It's so rare to find the one " Astrid said.
"Since when did you become a romantic?" Merida joked and both girls giggled. Just then Stormfly trotted toward them. The girls petted the Deadly Nadder dragon who cooed.
"Want to go flying with us Mer?" Astrid asked.
"Sorry but I promised I'd meet Hiccup and Toothless here" Merida replied a bit sad but was relieved see a smile on her face.
"Oh, cool that's fine, we'll be back before the bonfire party" Astrid said "See you then" then the Viking girl held up her arm in front of herself. At first, Merida didn't quite understand but it dawned on her. Merida lifted her arm up and both girls knocked their arms together.
Soon Astrid and Stormfly flew off, Merida waved them off then she returned to the blacksmiths. She entered Hiccup's living quarters, it was a bit messy but still impressive with all the drawings of his inventions. She could see Toothless's saddle, some special weapons and plans to help the dragon adapt to Berk. The Redhead glanced at them admiring Hiccup's drawings, then she came across a notebook. Curious, Merida picked up the book and flicked through it. She saw some things she expected like drawings of Toothless, notes and other information. But when she turned a page, she found a drawing of her, she continued and saw another. They were full of detail and intricacies, some were normal portraits others were she was posing like one of her holding her bow and shooting an arrow.
When she'd had her portraits done at home, she'd felt uncomfortable, tired and itchy in the fancy dresses she'd had to wear. They'd made her look like a different person, but Hiccup's drawings showed who she really was.
"Hiccup" a voice boomed that made Merida jump. Large footsteps came closer, Merida quickly put the book down as Stoick walked in "Hiccup, there you are we…" Stoick stopped at the person who he'd thought was his son, but when Merida turned the Viking was very surprised. "Oh, sorry I thought you were my son".
At first, Merida didn't understand his mistake, until she realised was still wearing Hiccup's helmet.
'Oh, it's fine' Merida replied with a warm smile. Stoick wasn't at all what Merida had imagined, he reminded her of her father. He definitely looked like a man to be taken seriously, although there was something in his eyes, she could see the resemblance to Hiccup.
"I don't mean to be rude, but who are you? You're new around here" the viking man asked, wondering why a girl was in his son's workshop. At first, she wasn't sure what to say eventually said.
"I'm Merida, Astrid's cousin".
"A pleasure to meet you" Stoick said shaking her hand "How's your time been visiting Berk?"
"Oh, it's been the best, everyone's been really welcoming and the dragons are incredible she explained, which made Stoick chuckle, she was so enthusiastic.
"That's my son's doing, we'd still be fighting them, if Hiccup had never befriended Toothless".
"You must be proud of him". Merida commented.
"Aye, I am now. I was too stubborn and proud to listen to him, but we're closer now" Stoick said with affection. "Oh, I forgot to ask, where are you from?"
Merida froze. She obviously couldn't say Scotland, so she said the first thing in her head.
"Bear Valley" she tried to look calm but inside, she was panicking.
"Oh, Bear Valley, guess there's lots of bears on your island" Stoick said which made Merida inwardly sigh with relief.
'Aye we do" she answered truthfully.
"I've faced the few bears in my time. Hiccup was nearly attacked by one if I hadn't saved him…" he looked at the girl wistfully, then added "Well, I'd better be off. See you later at the party".
"I hope so" Merida said, waving goodbye, Stoick waved back and walked right into a pole. The princess tried not to laugh as the chief straightened up and walked on. Just as Merida relaxed, she heard the flapping of wings and glanced toward the door, Hiccup and Toothless had arrived.
"Sorry we're late. We found a lost baby dragon and we managed to find its mum" Hiccup apologised gently taking his sweetheart's hands.
"It's ok, I'll be there on the next rescue" Merida said kissing on the cheek. "Oh, and by the way I met your father".
"WHAT! what did he said to you? Did he ask you anything? Did he find us out?" Hiccup questioned panicking, he eyes filled with worry.
"Hiccup, it's fine. I didn't say anything. We had a chat and then he left" Merida said reassuringly, placing her hand on either side of his face. The boy breathed, then put his hands on top of hers.
"Ok, I don't know what dad will be like if he finds out, so don't be surprised if he goes berserk" Hiccup commented. Merida held his hands and put her head on his shoulder.
'Sounds like my dad. Looks like we're cut from the same cloth" Merida said which made Hiccup smile as they walked out for their next adventure.
As the sun settled, the evening was to hold the first anniversary of peace between the Vikings and the Dragons. It started in the meat hall, the princess sat with Hiccup and the other teens, eating and chatting away. Then Stoick stood in front of all the Vikings, and began his speech.
"My friends. Today marks our first year with dragons. From centuries of fighting, we hunted and we lost so many on both sides. But now, we stand together, fight for each other and now that the Red Death has gone, we have peace. It's all because of my son and his Night Fury. Raise a cup for Hiccup and Toothless" Stoick announced. A chorus of cheers rang out, making the boy and his dragon blush.
"Hiccup and Toothless" Merida cheered. Hiccup smiled at her before kissing her cheek.
Not too long after everyone was outside celebrating around huge bonfire. There was singing, drinking and dancing throughout the night. The dragons joined in by warming themselves around the bonfires.
"Who's next" Stoick shouted. He has been arm-wrestling and was on a 14-time winning streak. Merida was watching him with the others, Hiccup passed her a drink which she took gratefully. "Come on! Are you scared to face me?" Stoick challenged.
"Or if they do, they'll be on your bad side of a week" Hiccup said sarcastically, which made the other teens laugh.
"Have any of you challenged him?" Merida asked, taking a sip.
"Ur no, are you nuts?" Ruffnut said bewildered.
"He breaks your arm in pieces" Tuffnut added pretending his arm was broken.
"Yeah, dad doesn't lose easily" Hiccup said.
"Well then" Merida commented before finishing her drink "let's see" she stood up walked away.
"Merida what? You? and she's gone" Hiccup said staring in shock. He and the other teens quickly ran as the Princess reached the chief.
"I accept the challenge" Merida called out which made everyone turned to look at her.
"Well Lass, come and show your strength" Stoick said showing her a chair.
When the others joined the crowd. They saw Merida sitting across from Stoick, ready for her challenge. Astrid noticed Hiccup's face had turned pale. She patted his shoulder for comfort.
"She'll be fine Hiccup. Merida can handle it" Hiccup smiled, not as sure as Astrid was about her success. His dad and his love gripped each other's hands They were face to face.
"Ready…go" their clenched fists pushed against each other. The elder Vikings cheered for Stoick while the teens cheered for the princess. Hiccup just bit his lip, watching Stoick overpowering Merida, nearly touching the table but suddenly Merida smirked, Stoick and the other vikings mouths dropped as Merida started pushing the chef's arm in the opposite direction. Even though he tried, Merida brought the man hand down. The teens shouted in celebration, Hiccup was more than relieved, he cheered as Merida stood up with both arms in the air in triumph.
"Well, congrats lass" Stoick said holding out his hand. Merida instantly shook it. "You're only the second person to ever beat me".
"Who was the first?" the girl asked.
"My wife" Stoick answered. Merida could see a bit of sadness in Stoick eyes. She knew from Hiccup what happened to his mum, so she understood. "She may have looked frail but she was unstoppable" he added smiling brightly. She smiled in return before her friends crowded around her and Stoick walked off to get a drink.
Astrid offered to grab some drinks, Snoutlout, Fishlegs and the twins went off to find food.
"You'll be the talk the village for a long time" Merida turned to find Hiccup, beaming at her.
"Sorry if I worried you. I couldn't resist a challenge, even if was against your dad" Merida said walking up to her Viking.
"No don't be, I was scared but I need to remember that you're stronger than me" Hiccup said rubbing his neck.
Merida let out a small laugh and saying "Well you have the biggest heart I know of". This made Hiccup blush, just then they heard music started to play.
"May I?" Hiccup asked as he bowed and held out his hand. Merida grinned and curtsied to him before taking his hand.
"Well, I'm not very good at dancing, I'll probably stand on your feet all the time" she admitted as they walked to the where other vikings were dancing.
"Well, we can be bad dancers together" Hiccup casually said. The two began to dance, they both thought would be bumping into other people or stepping on each other feet. But no, Hiccup held Merida close as they moved across the floor, they hopped, clapped and twirled together perfectly. He never thought he could ever dance like this in his life, dancing with Merida felt like a dream. Merida was surprised, she was enjoying this, she thought dancing with a boy was the worst thing she could've experienced. Now, as Hiccup spun her around with one hand, she understood many girls' fantasies of a romantic dance. The world seemed to disappear and their troubles melted away. It was just the two of them, together at their happiest. They didn't realise everyone was watching them. The grown-ups were surprised at this but they could see the chemistry between them as Hiccup and Merida laughed and danced. Toothless watched in pride, he noticed that their love was rubbing off on to other people as they joined in with the dance. Astrid and the others returned, wondering where Hiccup and Merida were at until Fishlegs spotted them.
"Are they already practicing their wedding dance?" Snoutlout joked. Astrid shot him a look but she wanted them to work even though the world was against them. Stoick noticed them too, seeing how close they were. His son and the young lady reminded him of him and his wife when they were young. Happy and carefree, lost in their own private world.
"Only know each other for a few days and they're already love birds" Stoick was dazed by the dancing couple he was brought back to find Gobber next to him, offering a fresh drink. The chief took it and looked back to Hiccup and Merida.
"Thanks, feels like they know each other for years" Stoick said.
'Yeah, like you and Valka. Even though she had a huge compassion for the Dragons. You loved her regardless" Gobber commented "Now I know where Hiccup get his romantic charm from".
"What?"
"Yes. I was carrying some broken metal to the workshop when I happen to see those in the shadows, whispering, then they started kissing, like making out. I never thought he had it in him" Gobber explained, gulping down his drink.
Stoick thought it over, true there were many things about his son he didn't know yet like of course his friendship with Toothless, but he was still learning about Hiccup. So, knowing that Hiccup with someone he had feelings for, was a wonderful thing to see. Especially when he saw Hiccup kiss Merida on the cheek, hoping no one noticed it.
"So, you may have to give him the talk" Gobber noted his confused look. "You know, the birds and the bees" Stoick growled rubbing his forehead. He already knew it would be very bad, Stoick decided to leave his son but he would be there if Hiccup needed help. Stoick grinned as the couple returned to their friends, definitely having a good night.
Very early the next day, Hiccup and Merida got ready for a return trip to Scotland. Merida had put her dress on, thinking if mum saw her in viking clothes, she would freak out. Merida tried to return the clothes to Astrid and Ruffnut but they insisted she kept them. She packed the last of her bags before the girls headed out to meet the boys. Hiccup managed to fastened Toothless's saddle just as the girls arrived on the cliff side.
"Shame you're leaving so soon" Ruffnut said.
"Me too, hopefully I'll manage to visit again" Merida replied hugging her.
"Yeah, you'd better, we need to pick out a dragon for you" Astrid said hand on her hip.
"Who knows" Merida laughed and the two-arm bump together.
"What's that about? Snoutlout asked in confusion.
"It's our thing, when we say hello, goodbye and to celebrate" Astrid answered.
"Just give a high five like everyone else" he said and the girls rolled their eyes.
"Ok, all set. Ready when you are ready Mer" Hiccup said rubbing Toothless's head. Merida said her goodbyes, climbed onto the Night Fury and waved to her new friends. Hiccup, Merida and Toothless took off in the air. Just like last time, it took them 3 days to reach DunBroch. It was night-time we they landed on the outskirts of the castle. Merida looked out to her home, it looked the same as always, but at that moment home seemed different. She realised how much she'd missed it.
Hiccup joined Merida by her side and the dragon joined them.
"At one point, I would have done anything to leave and have my freedom, but now I can't imagine never returning home" Merida confessed. She felt Hiccup's hand slip into hers.
"Me too, I nearly ran away from my home because of everyone wanted to kill dragons, and I had to protect Toothless. Before that, I thought about sailing away, thinking no one would care if I disappeared" Hiccup told her. He felt Merida squeeze his hand and showed him a reassuring smile.
They stood and watched the night sky, when Hiccup glanced over he noticed the melancholy look on the princess's face.
"Mer, what's wrong" Hiccup asked.
"I'm fine".
"No, you're not. Please" Hiccup replied.
Merida shut her eyes, she didn't want to talk about it but they needed to discuss it. She took a breath before answering.
"Hic, do you think we have a future together?"
Hiccup was taken aback. Yes, it was question that had been on his mind but he didn't want to bring it up.
"Yes of course".
"Even though we are from different worlds. Even if it takes our kingdoms…our families..." Merida continued on the brink of tears.
"Merida please calm down" Hiccup said calmly pressing his hands on her shoulders
"We need some time to figure…." But Merida pushed his hands off.
"LISTEN TO ME!" Merida screamed, hot tears flooded from her eyes. "If our parents found out. They'll never listen to us. There'll be nothing but blood, death and hatred because of us. I never want to hurt my family again, we've been through hell and I don't want to lose them. I love you Hiccup. I will always love you but there's this huge mountain of hate between us and I don't have a clue to get through it" Merida covered her head as she sobbed.
Hiccup could feel the tears running down his face. Everything she said was breaking his heart, seeing Merida so upset. Instantly, he wrapped his arms around her. Merida buried her face in his shoulder and held him close, for fear he would vanish.
"I'm sorry" he whispered. Toothless groaned in sympathy, he came over and wrapped his wings around the couple. They stayed like this for a while until the Viking softly kissed Merida's forehead. "Mer. I've had those thoughts running through my head since our first week. True, I haven't any ideas, but we can't loss hope. If we could fix things that are 100 times bigger than us. That doesn't stop us from trying." Hiccup told Merida rubbing a strand of hair from her face "And even if things don't go to plan. It's not stopping us because I don't want to live my life without you Merida. I dream of you and me having a full life with adventures and marriage and maybe babies".
"You…you want children" Merida asked. He blushed, he wasn't sure if she wanted kids, knowing her views marriage.
"Yeah, I've being wondering what our kids maybe like" he managed to say.
"I want them too" Merida said a bit shyly "I've being thinking about babies. I never thought much about it, but after meeting you. I began thinking about it more".
The two shared a loving smile, Toothless could sense they'd calmed down, he unwrapped his wings and backed off to give them some space.
"I'd like to give our children the freedom and the happiness they deserve" Merida added.
"We'll make sure that dream becomes reality" Hiccup said looking into her eyes "No matter who stands in our way".
"You definitely know what to say" Merida said laughing softly.
"Well, I do my best" Hiccup said grinning which made his princess smile.
"Do you think we'll end up running away together?" Merida then said.
"Wouldn't be surprised, let's try making peace between both sides somehow" Hiccup said rubbing his neck.
"Aye, I just… I don't know if they will" Merida told him still worrying.
"Hey, hey. It's not like you to worry. I understand but I don't want you to be worried" Hiccup reassured her "I promise, we'll figure it out" That was one of the reasons Merida loved him, he tried to make a difference in the world, it gave her hope and incentive for them to keep fighting for their love. "No matter what happened, we'll get through this".
Merida hesitated for a moment until Toothless gently pushed her closer to Hiccup. They looked over to the dragon and smiled at him.
"I believe you Hiccup" Merida said. The two kissed more passionately than before. The dragon sat on the side as the continued. Soon after, they went to sleep against Toothless. When morning came, Merida decided to stay and see them, before heading home.
"I wish you could come to the games. You'd enjoy them" Merida said pushing her bags aside.
"Yeah, I'm not a fan of physical games, it might be riskier being around more people" Hiccup explained before walking to Merida. "I promise to make it up".
"Oh, like what" Merida said playfully.
"Well, you know, an adventure and get into a bit of trouble and maybe something more" Hiccup said which did made Merida giggle before they kissed. They noticed Toothless raised him eyebrows at them.
"Oh, wee lamb" Merida commented, walking away to the Night Fury, gently holding his face "You want your buddy to yourself, do you?" Toothless purred which she took as maybe.
"Well, you're a true friend Toothless, that will never change. So, I trust you to take care of him".
Toothless responded by licking her, causing Merida to giggle. Hiccup gave his friend a scratch behind the ear and gave Merida another kiss. Soon Hiccup and Toothless were saying their goodbyes and flying off back to Berk. Even though they seemed ok, inside their thoughts were filled of their future. It scared them but they knew their love would withstand decades of hate, whatever

hi i just saw a fanficton moodboard. can you do some with fanfics
Hi friend! Thanks for asking. I’ve done a couple of fanfiction moodboards, but I generally only do boards for fics that I’ve read and really enjoyed / had a clear aesthetic idea for. Please feel free to request any fanfiction you’d like, but if it’s not a fic that I’ve read / have an idea for, I probably won’t be able to do it. Again, request whatever you’d like and at the very least I’ll look into it! Thank you! :)

the Story of Merida and Hiccup-chapter 11
chapter 11-the white dragon
The princess was taken aback as she stepped into the huge hall. Made of wood and stone the hall had tapestries of dragons and Vikings on the walls. It was filled with wooden chairs and benches, above a big fire pit hung a gold dragon statue. Merida have never seen anything so amazing.
"Well, it's not that fancy of a hall" Hiccup said seeing her looking around.
"Are you kidding me, it's beautiful" Merida said grinning.
"Well...er…thank you" Hiccup said. They were soon joined by the others with food.
"So, what's Scotland like? Fishlegs asked "I've heard that Scotsmen dine on the blood of their enemies and throw them into a pit filled with wolves"
Merida couldn't help but find this funny
"No, we don't that. We only eat meat, veg and fine wine" she said taking a chicken leg.
"Oh, that's what my dad told me" Fishlegs said.
"Me too" Astrid added "My parents told me they fought blood thirsty creatures covered in fur".
"You mean Bears" Merida replied. She noticed the confusion looks on their heads. "Bears are animals who roam the forest, we used to hurt them but we stop since…"
"Oh, it sounds like something happened there" Astrid said.
"You have no idea" Hiccup murmured knowing that they would need to tell Merida's story. They chatted and ate, he was surprised at Merida who was gobbling down her food, without a care in the world.
The days she spent in Berk were paradise for Merida. Hiccup showed her around the village, the Viking men and women were kind and friendly to her which reminded her of home. She'd seen so many dragons breeds, met her new friends dragons and learned about their different abilities. One time, Merida and Hiccup found a group of Terrible Terrors. Hiccup handed some pieces of fish to Merida and she happily fed them. One of the Terrors placed its head on her lap, Merida gently stroked the small dragon's head. Enjoying being with these wonderful creatures.
Merida loved to explored the island whether it be on foot or in the air. Hiccup showed Merida the cove that he and Toothless had first become friends.
"Ok, just hold it right here" Hiccup said holding his princess's hand as they walked towards the entrance. Merida covered her eyes from the sunlight but soon she could see she took in a breathtaking sight. Surrounded by rock walls, there was a peaceful lake with a waterfall that glistened in the sunlight. Giant trees towered over them their roots snaking down the rocks below.
"It's beautiful" Merida manage to say. Hiccup smiled at her, happy to share this special place. Without warning, Merida quickly climbed down the rock. Hiccup and Toothless quickly join her "It's so peaceful here, it's a perfect hiding place".
"Well, it wasn't by choice. Toothless fell into it and of course he couldn't fly out until I made his fin" Hiccup said. The dragon rushed over to the lake, to find fish. Merida sat on a nearby rock, watching the Night Fury. She was reminded of her mum as a bear, trying to fish. Hiccup sat next to her and started drawing.
"Want to go swimming together" Merida suddenly asked. She saw Hiccup stopped and turning red.
"Ur… Mer…we can't. We shouldn't…..I…I…" he said flustered.
"Hiccup, I'm joking, don't worry. I don't know if" Merida replied before rubbing her arm. Now regretting what she'd said. Hiccup could see Merida was also nervous about having an intimate moment like swimming together but mostly, seeing each other's bodies.
"Hey, hey. It's ok. Let's take our time with things" He reassured his princess, taking her hand and softly rubbing her knuckles. "Maybe one day we can and anyway you're beautiful".
"Thank you" Merida and gently kissed his cheek. Just as she pulled away, Hiccup turned and kissed her on the lips. She was stunned but instantly kissed him back. They were enjoying this moment of passion when the sound of flapping wings put a stop to their magic moment.
"Hey lovebirds" shouted Tuffnut.
"Are you two coming?" called Snotlout.
"We're heading for the cliffs, come on" Astrid said before they flew off. Hiccup and Merida smiled to each other and got up and raced to Toothless. Soon they we're flying across the sky with their friends.
When the dragons landed, the riders relaxed on the stones while their dragons played.
"So there no dragons in DunBroch?" asked Fishlegs.
"No, most people don't believe they exist" Merida said holding Hiccup's hand while his arm rested around her shoulders.
"So, what's in DunBroch?" Astrid said.
"Well, we have sheep, cows, hawks, horses oh and bears" Merida said, counting them on her fingers.
"My mum saw a horse once, she said it had four legs, one big eye with a upper human body and no flesh" Tuffnut said. Everyone, including the dragon looked on in confusion. Even though most of them never seen a horse they could tell that wasn't right.
"No, that's nothing like a horse" Merida finally said.
"Oh, still she dreams about it. Always goes white" Ruffnut said.
"Speaking of things aren't as their seem." Snotlout said "Are you sure you're a princess?"
"Aye. Why?" Merida asked.
"Because you don't act like a princess"
"Oh, and what, pray tell. Should a princess act like" Merida asked crossing her arms.
"Well, something like this" Snotlout announced as he stood up and said in a high pitch voice "Oh look at me, I'm a pretty princess. I love wearing fancy dresses and singing about love" as he pranced around.
"Oh, I can only talk to animals and wait for a man to save me" Tuffnut said as he twirled around. The two boys were laughing with the other teen.
"No, I'm not like that at all" Merida answered.
"Definitely not" Hiccup added as he hugged Merida close. Just then, they heard the dragons growling. The teens looked over to see them watching something out at sea. "What is it bud?" Hiccup asked Toothless as he and the others joined them. The Night Fury pointed his head in the of the direction of the disturbance and Hiccup pulled out his telescope to see. "oh"
"What is it?" Merida asked.
"See for yourself" Hiccup said and handed the telescope to her. Merida put it up to her eye, it took a moment but she could see a large boat.
"It's a ship," cried Merida.
"A dragon hunter ship to be exact" Hiccup answered. Merida knew what he meant. Hiccup told her there were Vikings who still hunted dragons. "Ready for a dragon rescue" Merida heard Hiccup asked. Merida didn't need to answer, she was ready.
They didn't waste any time, they all got on their dragons and flew off.
"Should we take Merida back to Berk" Fishlegs asked.
"I'm perfectly fine coming along" Merida said crossly as she held on to Hiccup.
"She's more than capable to join in" Hiccup mentioned before they flew higher. Merida knew that the best way to do this was to use the element of surprise. "Ok Fishlegs, Snotlout, you distract them on the left. Ruff, Tuff, you take the right. Me, Mer and Astrid will jump aboard to save the dragons".
"Ok" "On it" the others called as they flew into position. With Hiccup on Toothless and Astrid riding Stormfly they hovered just near the ship. Merida took out her bow and pressed the button to release it to its full size, as she fasten the string, she saw in time the first dragon fire at the boat. They heard cries and shouts before the twins on Barf and Belch had sprayed gas and then lit the gas to cause a fire.
"Ok let's go" Hiccup said, and the teens shot down on their dragons, making the Viking men on the deck scatter in fear, Toothless and Stormfly landed. The girls jumped off with their weapons in hand followed by Hiccup, who was walking up to a unconscious man to retrieve the keys. "Ok, got some but we need more".
"We'll look for more!" Merida said, as the girls ran off while Hiccup and Toothless began to open the cages. Merida and Astrid were battling the Viking men, as one released the dragons, the other would fight to defend and search for the remaining keys.
"Nothing here" Astrid told Merida before pushed an unconscious Viking out of their way. Merida had unlocked a cage containing a Monstrous Nightmare and its babies, they quickly flew out of the ship like the rest of the captured dragons.
"We need to keep looking" Merida quickly said, when they suddenly heard something roaring beneath them. "Did you hear that? There are more dragons below" Merida said looking at Astrid.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go" Astrid replied, the girls soon found the trap door leading to the deck below, Astrid easily opened it with her axe. Merida climbed down and Astrid was about to jump….
"Don't you dare" shouted a huge man who'd suddenly appeared before them. He lunged his enormous axe at Astrid. The blonde haired girl had let go of the trap door to defend herself.
The hatch slammed shut, Merida could only look up as she was suddenly in the dark, as her eyes got accustomed to her surroundings the rays of light were visible around the edges of the hatch. It seemed like nothing was down here, Merida readied her bow, just in case when a loud bang came from behind her. Stealthily, Merida walked towards the sound. She realised there was a cage built into the back, she looked through the bars and found nothing but darkness. She wasn't sure where the sound had come from but she knew whatever made the sound was definitely here.
Merida turned for a second when she felt someone or something was watching her. She turned back to find two huge bright blue eyes looking straight at her.
The princess backed off as the eyes followed her from side to side, to Merida's surprise, white scales appeared around the eyes to reveal it was a white dragon. At first glance, the dragon looked like Toothless except being white and it's fins and body were different she thought it looked like a female dragon.
Suddenly the white dragon lunged at Merida but failed. Merida noticed that it was chained to the wall and muzzled. The redhead couldn't help but feel sympathy for the white dragon. Seeing her locked up and tied down, she knew she needed to free her. As the White dragon pulled and struggled to be free from her chains, Merida quickly broke the lock with an arrow. The lock fell to the floor which caught the attention of the white dragon. Growling, the dragon watched as Merida slowly walked in toward the dragon.
"I'm not going to hurt you" Merida reassured "I'm going to release you" but the response she got was a loud roar from the dragon. The Redhead wasn't sure how to calm this dragon down, watching the dragon as it pulled on its chains, it gave Merida a warning look, although she couldn't help but feel that there was something familiar about her. "I know it's the worst thing in life, being cage up, treated like an prop, use by others to they own desires and longing to be free" Merida softly said. The white dragon slowly tilted her head, showing that she was listening. Merida went closer before sitting a few feet away. "You know, I wonder what its like to fly. It's wasn't too long ago that I flew, and it's the most incredible feeling. You love the feeling of flying, don't you?"
The white dragon nodded which made Merida smile. She took a few more steps closer till she was next to the dragon. The dragon looked directly at her. The princess saw the dragons face now up close, it began to make a sound, to Merida's surprise it was a purr, the dragon was purring softly. At that moment, both of them stared into one another's eyes. Merida could see in the dragon's blue eyes an untameable fire and reckless wonder that she had. It was like looking in a mirror, seeing herself in this dragon, she could tell that the creature was thinking the same thing. Merida remembered Hiccup telling her when he met Toothless he too saw himself in the Night Fury.
Suddenly there was a loud bang, they both looked up to find one of Vikings coming through the hatch.
"Let's get out of here" Merida quickly said. She removed the dragons restraints. Luckily Hiccup had given her some lockpicks before they had boarded. She unlocked the chain from the wall when one of the men appeared. Merida and the white dragon hid against the wall as the Viking walked over to the cage.
"I know you're in here girl!" the huge man called out. Merida heard heavy footsteps coming closer. She quickly pulled out an arrow and place it her bow. The white dragon looked over and watched as Merida crept in the dark. "You must have a death wish" he growled. Merida readied herself as the Viking opened the cage door and walked in. "You should be scared; this monster is the deadliest thing on this earth".
"Ha, the only monster here is you!" Merida said bravely as she entered into the light, her bow ready.
"Oh, what pretty little thing, you are. Shame to spoiled that pretty little face of yours" the man sneered although he looked a bit surprised to see a young girl here.
"I would say the same thing but I can't" Merida replied which made the white dragon smirk. Merida kept a straight face, not wanting to show any weakness.
"I surprised you're not dead" the Viking said "Maybe I should get" he stroked his sword gently with evil grin, but before he could come close, Merida shot him in the shoulder. He screamed while Merida fastened another arrow. "Why you little.." the mad man grabbed Merida and caught her around the neck. Merida tried the break free but it was too difficult he squeezed tighter.
She may have passed out if it wasn't for her new friend. The white dragon roared and dived at Merida's attacker. The princess tried to get her breath back as the dragon held the man down. After coughing, Merida grabbed her bow and got to her feet.
"We need to go. He's not worth it" Merida said to the dragon. The white dragon gave one last roar at the frightened man before both girls walked out and locked the cage. Ignoring the shout of the Viking, Merida heard the commotion above them. She looked over to the dragon who was showing her back as if saying "Come on, hop on".
Merida climbed on, holding on as the dragon blasted through the door and flew out. It was hard to hang on with no saddle but the redhead just managed it. They were right above the ship, now the deck had fires dotted around, all of the cages were empty and she could see the dragon riders in the air. Merida tried to see Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless anywhere, then she finally spotted Astrid, reaching to her dragon, but just behind the blonde Viking was a other Viking man. Quickly, Merida place an arrow in her bow. As the white dragon hovered, Merida aim and fired it. The arrow flew and pinned the man's hand against the wall. Astrid turned and punched him in the head.
"Astrid where's Merida?" Hiccup asked looking around worried.
"I think she's fine, come one" Astrid reassured him before they jumped on their dragons. She didn't know how but when she saw the arrow, she had a feeling she knew who'd fired it.
Merida and the white dragon watched the others fly back to land and they followed. They reached the foggy cliffside and landed, Merida slid off the white dragon with ease. They landed the other side of the cliff the others so didn't see them.
"I think it makes us even, thank you" Merida said, her new friend purred then both heard the freed dragons roaring in the distance. Merida could tell the white dragon needed to go. "You need to help, don't you" Merida asked. The white dragon growled as if to say "yes" but the princess could see she was torn. "You're a free spirit, the last thing I want to do is to tie you down" the dragon seemed to physically relax hearing those words. Merida wanted a dragon since meeting Hiccup and Toothless but this dragon was much like her that she couldn't take her. The dragon noticed the sad look on Merida's face. The dragon came closer and licked the girl's cheek, making Merida laugh. "Thanks, we'll meet again one day. That's a promise".
Suddenly a thought came to Merida, she remembered Hiccup's story when he placed his hand on Toothless's head. She also remembered the feeling when she'd done it. Without thinking Merida reached out her hand. The dragon flinched making the princess stop, seeing this, Merida closed her eyes and reached out again. At first, the dragon was unsure what the human was doing but something was drawing her. She slowly pressed her head against Merida's hand. The redhead opened her eyes at the touch. She could feel what she had with Toothless but it was ten times stronger. Both knew they had a bond. An unbreakable bond.
The dragon pulled away and smiled, Merida couldn't stop smiling either. She never thought she'd have a dragon as a friend.
"Merida!" They heard Hiccup shouting. Instantly the white dragon took to the skies. Merida watched as she turned invisible, as if disappearing into thin air.
"Merida" The princess turned to see Hiccup running up to her with the Night Fury behind him. He ran up to her and kiss her. Merida felt his relief and worry in it, she kissed him back to reassure him. "Oh Mer, I was so worried…"
"I'm fine Hic" Merida said rubbing his cheek to calm him. "I managed to escape on one of dragons and landed here".
"Oh, and the dragon?" Hiccup asked and Toothless purred curiously.
"Oh, it flew off" Merida replied which was true.
"I'm just so glad you're ok" Hiccup said before holding on to his princess.
They then heard footsteps and the others joined them.
"Merida, thank the gods you made it" Astrid said.
"Aye, I'm glad as well" Merida answered.
"Well, we better get back home, it's getting late" Hiccup said. They got on their dragons and set off into the evening sky. Later that night, the teens sat around the fire, enjoying meat and telling each other about their rescue.
"You should have seen me firing fireballs at those suckers" Snotlout said proudly.
"Yeah, before you fell off Hookfang before they shot at you" Tuffnut said and Ruffnut chuckled. Snotlout look on sulkily.
"I noticed a few new species of dragons. We definitely need to study them" Fishlegs said to Hiccup.
Merida couldn't help but think of the white dragon when she heard that. She thought about telling them but after meeting her, she knew she wanted to stay hidden. She also knew Hiccup would drop everything and go off to search for her. She didn't want to keep this from him, but even if she wanted to she did not know where to start.
"Merida, what's wrong?" Hiccup asked. She saw Hiccup and Astrid looking concerned.
"Oh nothing, just tired. Too much excitement" Merida reassured them. She felt Hiccup's arm around her, she smiled at him as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Mer, were you the one who shot that arrow that stopped my attacker" Astrid asked Merida.
"Aye"
"I knew it, thanks. I'm impressed. From that distance, you definitely need to show me your skills tomorrow" Astrid commented.
"You're on" Merida replied. Both girls grinned.
"See, I knew you'd get along" Hiccup said giving a sheepish grin which made both Merida and Astrid giggle.
He was right, Merida was having a wonderful time here and had made great friends. At that moment, Merida noticed an outline in the sky. She recognised it instantly as the white dragon, the dragon flew across the moon before it disappeared again. The princess hoped one day they would meet again.
"Good night, Light Fury".

the Story of Merida and Hiccup-chapter 10
chapter 10-This is Berk
Merida couldn't believe she was finally seeing Berk. It was so much better than she'd imagined. Seeing the homes lit up by candlelight, the cliffs and hills with trees growing on them and the spiral like mountain which was the main point on the island. At that moment, two huge dragons flew by, headed towards land. Berk was unique and wild to the princess and she couldn't wait to explore.
"Well, what do you think Mer?" Hiccup asked.
"It's beautiful" Merida said, her eyes filled with wonder.
"Yeah, maybe it has a few quirks, but it's home" he said. He rubbed Toothless's head as they took a moment to admire their home. Afterwards Hiccup gently took Merida's hand to get her attention.
"Should we get going?"
"Aye" Merida answered, feeling more excited she held to him as they took to the air. They flew above the island, hiding out of sight so no one would spot them. Hiccup and Toothless could see the Vikings entering the Meet Hall, there must be a village meeting which was perfect for them everyone would be busy. Toothless landed behind what Merida knew was Hiccup's house. Hiccup jumped off and then held out his hand.
"Milady" Hiccup playfully said.
"Thank you, kind sir" Merida replied and lady like took his hand. She slipped off the dragon and the three of them snuck through the back door.
"Ok, let me find the candles" Hiccup said. Merida heard Hiccup's footsteps walking away from her. It was completely dark and she stood still unaware of her surroundings, then there was a flash of light and toothless had lit the fire which now gave out a warm glow.
Merida now could see she was standing in a wooden cabin, she saw a stone fireplace with a large black pot next to it, a huge chair with engravings on it which she knew it was Hiccup dad's chair, weapons and shields, furs and tapestries on the walls. As Hiccup lit the candles and set them out, Merida turned in a circle to have a good look around the room. It had warm and comfortable feel to it, she would rather live here than in her draughty castle.
"So, what do you think?" Hiccup asked her.
"I love it Hic, it's perfect for winter nights" Merida answered unfastening the brooch on her cloak.
"Well, it snows most of the year and if you don't mind the frostbite and drafts it's perfect winter get away" Hiccup joked. He helped her remove her cloak. He placed it on a chair while the princess followed the dragon upstairs. "Oh…that's my room, hey wait" Hiccup called up and quickly climbed up after them.
When Merida reached the top, she saw Toothless hopped up onto a large flat stone, as she looked he warmed it with his fiery breath before curling up into a ball and settling down to sleep. She took a moment to look around Hiccup's room.
She knew it was Hiccup's room because she spotted a desk filled with his drawings, a shield and a few tools scattered about and a few candles. But the only light in the room came from the moon, the light from which flooded in through the window, a single wooden bed with a pillow and blanket. It wasn't a grand room but it suited Hiccup very well.
The Viking was just at the top, when he heard "Ah I knew it" Merida said confidently.
"Know what?" Hiccup asked nervously. Seeing Merida looking back to him.
"I wondered if you had one of these" Merida explained turning around, holding Hiccup's helmet in both hands.
"Oh that" Hiccup sighed in relief. "Yeah, I don't parade it around but it's very fashionable here" he laughed as he stepped closer the princess. Then an idea came to him. Hiccup gently took the helmet. "May I" he asked.
Merida understood what he meant so she bowed slightly and Hiccup place the helmet on her head, she straightened up.
"Well, how's is it?" She asked fixing her wild curls underneath.
"It's suits you" Hiccup answered and Toothless agreed. "Well, I'm going to find my friends, if anyone comes knocking, Toothless will help you" he kissed Merida's cheek and quickly ran downstairs and out the door to find his friends.
The princess's smiled as she watched him go, her cheeks turned red. She still wasn't use to being kissed but she liked it. As Merida took the helmet off, she noticed Toothless smirking at her. She let out a laugh and gave the dragon a scratch.
It didn't take long for Hiccup to find his fellow dragon riders. The group were hanging around the fire, laughing and chatting when Hiccup approached them. After he explained why he was back so early, he asked them to come to his house. The teens wondered why but didn't question. Knowing Hiccup, it means be something big was going to happen.
"Hiccup, is there something you need to tell us?" Astrid said as they reached Hiccup's home. He finally faced them, he took a few breaths before he began to explain.
"Ok, I'm going to show you something that I been keeping secret for months now" he rubbed his neck nervously, seeing their confused and suspicious looks on their faces. "And before I show you. You must promise me you won't tell anyone, and I do mean anyone."
"You haven't found any new dragon, have you?" Fishlegs asked for he'd it if there was a new kind of dragon.
"No, I haven't found a new breed of dragon, but please don't rush into action when you see…" Hiccup said as he opened the door and went in.
"I bet he actually found an ogre" Tuffnut whispered to his sister.
"Well, I bet he has a mermaid in there" Ruffnut replied as Hiccup went inside.
"Don't be stupid you two, if he was hiding something. It would be a girl" Snotlout said to the twins.
"Wanna bet on that" Tuffnut asked Snotlout, holding out his hand.
"Three weeks washing Hoodfang and throw in two sheep" Snotlout answered quickly, shaking Tuffnut's hand.
Astrid just rolled her eyes at this conversation. Still, she wondered what Hiccup was up to. She didn't have long to wait until Hiccup appeared again.
"Ok come in now" Hiccup said before looking around. Once the group were inside, Hiccup closed the door and made his way to the front. "Right, everyone ready?"
They nodded. The suspense was killing them, they just wanted him to hurry up. The Viking took a deep breath and turned.
"Mer, you can come out now," said Hiccup.
Merida hesitated for a moment then stepped out from under the stairs, she walked next to Hiccup, giving the group a small smile, the group stood dumbfounded.
"I can't believe it… Snotlout was right" Tuffnut said aloud breaking the silence. Snotlout flashed a triumphant smirk at Tuffnut as Astrid stepped forwards.
"Hiccup, what's going on?" she said in disbelief.
"Guys, this is Merida. We met months ago; she is a princess from Scotland" Hiccup explained.
"WHAT!" The teens all cried. This was just what Hiccup had expected. But he couldn't think of a better way to tell them.
"A… a princess, you're a princess" Fishlegs spluttered before falling dramatically to his knees.
"Ooooh, you're in so much trouble" Ruffnut in a knowing voice, pointing an accusing finger at Hiccup.
"I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy" Merida and Hiccup turned to seeing Fishlegs bowing like mad.
"Please, please stop. You don't have to do that" Merida said to Fishlegs who stopped to look at her.
"Oh, oh sorry your majesty" he apologised, standing up and dusted himself off.
"And not, your majesty or highness, please" Merida then added.
"Oh sorry…again" Fishlegs said realising his mistake.
"Hiccup have you lost your mind" Astrid said finally walking up to the couple. "A princess of Scotland! have you thought that she could be tricking you to find information to launch an attack" she was bubbling with anger, not really thinking clearly about what she was saying.
"Excuse me, I can hear you, you know" Merida said her temper rising. Seeing the Viking girl realising her mistake. "I'm not spying on anything or anyone. My family don't know I'm on an island full of Vikings and another thing, I have real feelings of him" Merida finished, taking Hiccup's hand.
Astrid tried to suppress her anger. Too many thoughts were running through her brain. "Well, how can we trust you, knowing your kind?"
"My kind?" Merida answered. The girls were nearly nose to nose, Hiccup could have sworn he saw lightning shooting out of their eyes.
"Now, now please. There is no need for this" Hiccup said calmly, getting in between the girls "We're all friends here, we don't want anyone to discover Merida, so we need to work together, as a team, right?" Hiccup pushed them slightly apart. The girls kept glaring at each other, he could sense that a fight could break out. "So can we all be friends?" it took a moment before the girls said together a reluctantly
"Fine".
"So can we go now?" Ruffnut interrupted.
"Oh of course" Hiccup said "Let's meet back here tomorrow". They agreed, Astrid just stood there for a moment, looking at the couple before she turned to leave.
"Oh, by the way" said Snotlout, leaning against the door. "So does she have an older sister, if…" Hiccup slammed the door in his face.
"Well, that went well" Hiccup sighed with relief.
"Aye, I'm glad it's done" Merida answered, taking his hands into hers.
They hugged in agreement and headed to bed. Hiccup suggested that Merida have his bed but she told him that she was fine sleeping on the floor so he had the bed. They ended up sleeping next to Toothless, cuddling up in the blankets, for a peaceful nights sleep.
Merida was the first up the next day, she was admiring the village now it was daylight.
"Hello milady" Hiccup said stretching as he walked to her.
"Hello to you too" Merida replied, kissing him sweetly. "Did you have a good sleep last night?"
"Aye, I did" Merida said with a smile, then they heard a grumbling noise. "And apparently I'm really hungry".
Both of them laughed together as the dragon woke and stretched before joining them.
"Well, I'll get breakfast, be right back. Oh, dad will probably be in the hall asleep so it safe here"
Hiccup kissed her cheek and headed out. Merida placed her bag safely under Hiccup's bed (in case Hiccup's dad found it). She then headed downstairs, mostly for something to eat, there she found a barrel of water next to a bunch of swords.
She picked up a ladle and started drinking, she just taken her third drink when she glimpsed something reflected in water. Merida stayed perfectly still as the thing grew bigger, glancing quickly she remembered at the swords. Merida waited and at the right moment, she grabbed one and got ready for a possible attack. Her instinct was right because…
"Astrid, what are you…?" Merida exclaimed seeing the blonde headed Viking towards her wielding with an axe.
"You can't fool me. You tricky witch!" Astrid cried with anger in her eyes she came at her again but Merida blocked it and pushed her away.
"Astrid, just listen…" Merida tried to speak but Astrid just swung at her. The only thing she could do was defend herself. She fought Astrid, their weapons clash against each other. Astrid suddenly kicked Merida in the stomach she fell hitting the door which opened as she fell. The redhead didn't have time to think about the pain for Astrid was about to try to split her in two. Merida rolled over just in time as the axe hit the ground. She managed to get to her feet and ran and left Astrid struggling to free her axe.
"COME BACK HERE, YOU HOTHEADED VIPER!" Astrid shouted at the top of her lungs, she'd freed her weapon and followed Merida like a wild creature hunting for prey.
Hiccup and Toothless took a long-time gathering food but they manage it. As they walked back, they found his friends watching something.
"Hey guys" Hiccup called.
"Hey Hiccup" the gang answered before they turned back.
"So, what are you looking at?" Hiccup asked curiously. "Another dragon fight?"
"No, just Astrid and Merida having a fight to the death" Ruffnut casually said.
"Oh, that's nice. Tell me who…WHAT!" The Viking dropped the food and rushed to the balcony. He could see clear as day Merida and Astrid running and fighting all over Berk. A few Vikings were outside, usually doing their usual business but didn't see or hear the two in their epic battle. "Oh, my gods, this is a nightmare".
"Nightmare?" Snotlout said before putting an arm around Hiccup and hugging him hard "This is every man's dream, to have girls fighting over you".
"Yeah, and they're going to kill each other" Hiccup said as he broke away and ran to stop them with Toothless behind him. The dragon lifted the Viking to his back.
Merida wasn't really sure where she was going, of course she'd never been to Berk until yesterday. She heard footsteps, Merida hid behind a barrier just as Astrid appeared, gritting her teeth and scanning her surroundings. Merida waited for the Viking girl to turn before she could escape. She ran the second Astrid turned her back, Astrid spun around to see Merida running and heading to the old dragon circle. The princess saw the arena, she then heard shouting for Astrid. Wasting no time, she ran in to hide. Merida took this moment to breathe and look around. She remembered Hiccup talk about the killing ring in his story, she already imagined Viking warriors fighting the dragons, she also noticed scratches imbedded into the walls. She was looking at some of the scratches when an axe flew right past her. Merida looked up and saw Astrid. Quickly Merida dashed to avoid the Viking who had jumped in the arena and expertly landed on her feet, she looked threateningly at Merida with a firm grip on her axe.
"You won't leave this island alive" Astrid growled, swinging the axe. The redhead blocked the blow and the two girls stood face to face, with all their might, they pushed their weapons against each other.
"Astrid please stop, just listen".
"I'm not listening to a Scot like you" Astrid yelling as once more the weapons clashed together.
"Just listen, Hiccup and toothless crashed in Scotland and I found them. He didn't tell me or anyone that he was a Viking" Merida explained as they fought around the ring. "He only told me the truth days later, but by then we had feelings for each other. He could have forgotten all about me but he came back, he came back knowing the danger. Hiccup said there's truth about showing trust and understanding and he wanted to prove it.
Astrid looked at Merida in surprise "He said that?" she suddenly felt tired and hot, the realisation hit her and pulled she laid down her axe. "Oh gods" was all she said as she sat down. Merida sat next to her, catching her breath. The two girls didn't say anything of a while until the Viking said softly "I've never fought over a boy before".
"Me neither, never been interested in all that romance stuff before" Merida admitted then complimented Astrid "Nice axe skills".
"Thanks" Astrid said before adding "You have great swords skills".
"Thank you," said Merida. The two shared a smile before she asked Astrid "Quick question, when Hiccup is explaining something, can you understand him because he speaks so fast that I couldn't understand".
"All the time, and when he plays with Toothless, it's sounds very intimate" Astrid added.
"Aye and I'm like, do you two want to be alone?" Merida said. Both of them burst out laughing. They laughed so hard; they were rolling on the floor. It was then Hiccup and Toothless ran into the Arena to stop them. Hiccup quickly jumped off his dragon and ran to them.
"STOP! Please stop, it's…." Hiccup stopped in confusion. He imagined the girls in a blood drenched fight, but found Merida and Astrid laughing? Toothless looked confused too. "What's going on?" He asked they took one look at him and laughed even harder.
Toothless gave out a growl and tilted his head as if to say "Is this was girls are like?"
"Yeh bud, I don't understand them either" said Hiccup in reply.
Eventually the girls calm down and went to find the others still giggling a little. They walked back towards the village when they met their friends who were excited to know the result.
"So, who won?" What is the first thing with Tuffnut asked when Hiccup, Merida, Astrid and Toothless reached them.
"Well, we agreed on a draw" Astrid said, both girls nodded.
"Oh, come on!" Snotlout groaned with Tuffnut.
"Where's the fun in that?" Tuffnut added.
"Ok, play times over. Now who wants breakfast?" Hiccup said and everyone agreed.
"Hang on" Ruffnut said suddenly "She can't walk around wearing that. She'll stick out like a eel in a barrel full with fish" pointing at Merida's dress.
"I travel light so I didn't bring any other clothes" Merida explained.
"Well, we can fix it" Astrid said, "Come on" She linked the princess's arm in hers and she Ruffnut led Merida to her home.
The boys were outside waiting (they were ordered not to enter) as Astrid and Ruffnut found some clothes for Merida who was excited to try something different. She held a pair of trousers, thinking they'd suit her better than a dress.
"My mum would kill me if she saw me in these" she voiced her thoughts.
"Does your mum always tell you what to do?" Astrid asked as she place more for Merida to choose.
"Aye, but it's not so bad, she used to try and make learn how to be a lady" Merida answered.
"Who has time for that, not me" Ruffnut commented. Merida smiled at that.
"Yeah, it is" Merida replied before she found a tunic she liked.
"Well, while you here. You can be yourself. I can see you're not a princess at heart" Astrid reassured her. Merida already like them, she hadn't any girls as friends back home, most of the girls in Dun Broch were more proper and ladylike and not on the same wavelength as her. "Ok let's get you dressed, Viking style"
"But first, the hair" Ruffnut the said.
"My hair?" Merida asked in concerned, taking a few steps away.
"Well, we Vikings rock a look that we're famous for" Ruffnut casually said. Flicking one of her braids. Merida was always uncomfortable with people messing with her hair. Especially if it was her mum but she felt like she could trust them to not hurt her.
"Ok just not too tight" she said reluctantly.
"Don't worry" Ruffnut said cracking hair fingers "I'm an expert".
A few minutes later, Astrid and Ruffnut opened the door, waking a sleeping Tuffnut and Snotlout while Hiccup was talking to Fishlegs.
"Gentlemen and dragon" Ruffnut announced waving her hands in exaggeration. "May we present Merida" and Merida walked out, rubbing her arm. She normally wouldn't be nervous about anything but she was worried what Hiccup would think, but seeing the awe struck look on his face, Merida relaxed.
Merida was wearing a cornflower blue tunic, dark green pants and brown fur boots. She had her quiver attached to her belt and her hair was in a braid, Ruffnut made sure it wasn't too tight so it was quite loose and some curls poked out.
"Wow, you look great Mer" Hiccup complemented, the night fury nodded in agreement. This made the princess blush, Astrid playfully nudged Merida.
"She definitely fits in around here now" Astrid added. The others agreed.
"Well, we better go in before…" Hiccup began to say but then.
"Hey Hiccup" they all looked over to see Gobber walking towards them.
"Quick hide Merida" Hiccup quickly said. He couldn't believe things were unveiling so quickly. Merida hid underneath one of Toothless's wings while the others tried to act casually.
"Morning you lot" Gobber greeted.
"Hey Gobber" the teens replied as natural as possible.
"I didn't know you were back Hiccup, your dad will be happy you're home" he said.
"Yeah, me and Toothless came back late last night, but we were tired." Hiccup explained rubbing his neck.
"Well, I won't delay you any longer, you and your redheaded friend need to hurry" Gobber said with a knowing smirk.
"We will, we'll be…" Hiccup stumbled. Did he hear that right or was it his imagination tricking him.
"Come on out lass" the old Viking said gently, looking over where Merida was hiding. With hesitation, Merida slowly stood up. "You're new around here aren't you, what's your name?"
"Merida, I'm…" she replied not sure what to say. Definitely can't say princess of Dun Broch or Scottish, in fear of getting caught.
"She's my cousin" Merida heard Astrid say, she wrapped an arm around Merida's shoulders. "She came to visit for a while and we're just showing her around Berk".
"Cousin? I didn't know you had a cousin that I didn't know" Gobber asked sceptically.
"I'm a distant cousin, we write to each other and I wanted to see Berk for myself" Merida said glancing at a worried Hiccup standing behind Gobber.
"Well, welcome to Berk." Gobber said and shook Merida's hand. Merida gave him a sweet smile.
Hiccup had told her that Gobber was nice when you get to know him. "Well, I better get my chores done, I have dragons that need me to fix their teeth" he said before walking back to his workshop.
"Oh, mind the dragon droppings" the old Viking called out to them.
"That was close" Fishlegs sighed. All of them were relieved, it went through their minds, how can they can keep this up?
"Thanks Astrid, for that quick thinking" Merida said gratefully.
"No problem, that's what friends do" Astrid replied.
" Hi definitely owe you one, fancy some more sword practice later?" Merida asked grinning.
"You're on" Astrid said excitedly before she and the others ran back to the meet hall.
"I don't get it" Hiccup said aloud.
"What do you mean?" Merida asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm just saying. One minute you're killing each other, the next you two are friends" He explained. "Sorry, I don't know much about girls"
"I don't know anything about boys, but we can learn together" Merida said and kissed him on the cheek which made her Viking smile. "Come on, all the food will be gone" she took Hiccup's hand and they ran to catch up to the other.
