WARNING! STORY CONTAINS MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT ARE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSY AND CHARACTER DEATH!

"We just don't know what to do with her anymore!" Elinor DunBroch sighed as she spoke with Dr. Jones, "She keeps saying she's going out with...with kids that aren't there! She once had a sleepover...alone! She insists that there's someone there, but we just-"

"Schizophrenia, Mrs. DunBroch, is a serious condition that makes it hard for people to tell what's real and what's fake. They believe poeple will be after them, that they see people that aren't even there. We will see what we can do for your daughter."

Elinor nodded and looked back at her only daughter. The redhead was struggling in the arms of two doctors.

"MUM!" She yelled, "DAD! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!"

Elinor and Fergus, her husband, shot their daughter a pained look before they left.

Merida sighed.

"You okay?" A male voice asked.

Merida smiled, "Jack!"

The white haired, blue eyed, boy smile. "We came to vist!"

Merida turned around and beamed, "Hiccup! Rap!"

The scrawny Viking and the long, blond, haired princess smiled. Rapunzel hugged her tightly.

"I missed you so much!" She cried, "When are you coming out?"

"Soon, hopefully."

"Really?!" Dr. Jones, the DunBrochs, the Fitzherberts and the Hoffersons all stared at the live video feed coming from Merida's room, "He asked ye?! Congratulations!"

Silence.

"Of course I'll come to yer wedding. Imagine, two of my best friends are going to get married!"

Silence.

"I'm not blushing Rap!"

Silence.

Chortles.

"Fine, I'll see what I can do to help."

A few days later, Merida was sitting with Jack and Rapunzel. Both had brown hair, Jack had brown eyes, and in his arms, was an infant Hiccup.

"Congrats you guys, how old is he?" Merida smiled as she took the baby.

"Two months." Rapunzel beamed.

Merida smiled, she knew the baby wasn't theirs, but they did it just for fun. She knew Rapunzel and Jack only saw each other as siblings and friends.

A weeks later, Jack and Hiccup got "busy."

"I didn't think they'd do it..." Merida gasped.

Rapunzel nodded in awe.

What were the two boys doing?

They were making out while doing the can-can.

How they managed, no one knows.

"She's not getting better,"Astrid growled. Her best fried was in there. Talking to invisible people because she was crazy! "Why isn't she getting better?!"

"Astrid," Flynn placed a hand on her shoulders, "you can't rush this. Look that famous dude!"

"You mean-"

Flynn cut her off, "Yeah, him. He ended up fine!"

"Not exactly, he still saw people that weren't there and he just ignored them!"

"Maybe Merida will do the same."

"I hope you're right."

Merida groaned as she plopped on her bed. A very young Rapunzel climbed onto her bed.

Merida looked up at Jack and Hiccup. The Viking was taller than Jack. Jack had his white hair and blue eyes, but he wore a white shirt with a browm vest and cape instead ofa hoodie.

She didn't know what to say, so fell asleep. She remembered how the whole thing.

It all started when she moved from Scotland to America. She had no friends at first, and then, Rapunzel came into her life.

Then she met Astrid and Eugene, who went by his middle name, Flynn.

Both of them ignored Rapunzel, making Merida upset they didn't even look at her first friend.

When she was in middle school, she and Rapunzel met Hiccup, a Viking descendant who was not only scrawny, but sarcastic.

For a while, he had feelings for Astrid, but she didn't even acknowledge him. It left him heart broken for two years.

When they entered highschool, they met Jack.

He was walking around, greeting others, but no one spoke back to him.

Which was odd, he stood out with his white hair and bright blue eyes.

Jack actually looked as broken as Hiccup was when Astrid denied his request to go on a date.

"Hi," Merida had said, "I'm Merida, this is Rapunzel and Hiccup."

"Jackson Overland Frost. Call me Jack." Jack smiled.

Ever since that day, they were friends.

And Merida was happy to learn they could do magic.

From changing how they looked.

To being able to heal with a melodious lullaby.

From controlling winter.

To being able to tame dragons.

Her friends were amazing, but they weren't real according to what others say.

But they were.

She wasn't crazy. She wasn't crazy. She wasn't crazy!

"Okay Merida," Dr. Jones sighed, "we're just going to give you your medication. It's for your own good."

'It's been a whole damn year...I want to leave. I want to leave!' Merida ranted in her mind.

Before the doctors could even give her her "medication," Merida ran off.

She didn't stop until she was in a different room.

She smiled when she saw a window. Jack, Hiccup and Rapunzel were outside. Waiting with Toothless, Hiccup's dragon.

Merida snorted as Hiccup scooped Jackson up, the brunette flailed his arms.

"PUNZIE!" He laughed, "HELP!"

Rapunzel laughed as well but stayed put.

Hiccup smirked as he got on Toothless.

He had already given the girls a ride, and Jack was the only one who hadn't gotten a ride.

Merida smiled as the duo flew off.

Turning to Rapunzel, she held up a five dollar bill. "Five bucks says they return in love."

"Ten says they return looking strawberries!" Rapunzel retaliated.

Merida nodded.

Let's just say, they each got 15 bucks.

Merida smiled the minute Rapunzel admitted her feelings towards her.

It's all she could ever want.

Someone to love.

Jack and Hiccup looked relieved about it. Muttering how it took them long enough, and how they weren't going to have to get involved anymore in order to get them together.

Merida smiled as she looked back at the memories.

Her first kiss with Rapunzel.

Hiccup comforting Jack because he missed his family.

Jack bringing fun.

Rapunzel's cooking.

The day she, Hiccup, Jack and Toothless placed some of Rapunzel's golden hair in their heads and mimicked her. Getting a lot of giggles from said blond. Especially from how adorable Toothless looked.*

She remembered how they learned Jack had aquaphobia, isolophobia, and nyctophobia.*

She remembered how Rapunzel had been upset that her "mother" wasn't really her mother.

She remembered how Hiccup told them how he shot down Toothless and made his first real friend.

"They want to forget about ye!" Merida cried, "They d-don't care that yer my friends!"

Rapunzel rubbed her back gently.

"Merida," Jack spoke up, "we won't leave you behind."

"That's right," Rapunzel whispered.

Merida sobbed as she looked at them, "Promise?"

"Pinkie promise!" Jack and Rapunzel held out their pinkies.

Hiccup and Merida smiled as they linked pinkies, sealing the promise.

Merida gasped as she heard the door rattle. Hiccup slid off Toothless and held onto Jack.

"Jump Merida! He'll catch you!" Hiccup said.

Merida closed her eyes and jumped from the single window the room had.

Merida laughed as Rapunzel hugged her waist.

"We have so much to show you!" Jack yelled from under Hiccup, looking at Merida upside down.

Merida snorted and let out a laugh as she and her friends flew off.

She knew that things were different, but different was a good thing.

"No..." Elinor cried. She had arrived a few seconds too late.

The paramedics at the scene had pronounced the redhead they had found to be dead. Her sky blue eyes never to open again.

Her wild red hair never to feel the wind blowing it back.

But maybe, just maybe, that was a good thing.

Why?

Because, schizophrenic or not, Merida wouldn't give up Rapunzel, Jack or Hiccup for anything. Not even her own life.

Review!

Yeah, schizophrenia is a serious condition, only one person has been able to get through it, but I forget his name, I just know he was famous in math...I think it was math, my history is a bit rusty.

Anyways, yep. What I want to know is, should I mark this as complete, or go through different events in Merida's life?

*real picure I found online, Toothless looked so adorable!

* Fear of water, being alone, and the dark. The three fears that best fit Jack in my opinion.
