Chapter 1

'Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away...'

The sounds of caroling filled the winter air.

Children's laughter filled the air.

Greeting called throughout the day, of this fine Christmas Eve.

But allas, not all enjoy this day.

'Tis the season...

but not for all.

No, because inside a certain shop, two men were awaiting the working day to end.

One of the men sat in an office, surrounded by piles of money. Coins old copper, silver and gold! All for the eyes to see.

The other, sat at a table, awaiting his day to end, so he could escape the bitter cold. Hands shivered and the quill he held shook with every passing moment. He looked at his employer and after a moments hesitation, spoke.

"Mr. Haddock, sir?"

Mr. Haddock, whose true name was Stoick, glared towards the young man, "What Fitzherbert?!" He roared. Fitzherbert flinched.

"I, uh I was wondering, if I, uh, uh, I could-uh, get the rest of the night off? Because tomorrow's... C-christmas?"

Stoick rose, slamming his fists onto his tables, coins falling as he did.

"Christmas," he scoffed, "Bahummbug!"

Fitzherbert was about to ask again when the door opened to reveal two young women. A blond and a redhead, both with fair skin and blue eyes. The blind was Astrid Hofferson, daughter of the butcher and finest ax-woman in town. Her friend was Merida "Courage" DunBroch. Merida's father was the chief of police and she herself was the best archer in the city.

"Hey Eugene," Merida said, walking over to Fitzherbert, "how's the family?"

Eugen smiled as he told her about their children, but his smile showed worry.

"Please Stoick, my family needs me!" Stoick glared at Eugene once more.

"Alright," Eugene smiled, "but you work all day on the 25th." His smile fell. It was only five in the evening today. And today was December 24.

"But, but, but-"

"That is my final offer!"

Eugene sighed as he nodded. Stoick turned his gaze towards the two females.

"And ye two?!"

Astrid walked over to him, "We're here to see if you would like to donate to the orphanage, some of the children need medical attention, plus there's food, toys, clo-"

"Get out."

"B-but, it's Christmas!" Merida cried, anger filling her, "where's yer holiday spirit!"

Stoick shoved both girls outside and slammed the door shut. Eugene appeared soon afterwards. All three grumbled and headed to Eugene's home. When they arrived, they told Rapunzel, a girl whose long blond hair was almost always in some sort of braid, everything.

"Oh, honey, I'm so sorry," she told her husband. Merida and Astrid stood.

"We'd love to stay," Astrid explained to Rapunzel's questioning look, "but we need to get this money to the orphanage." Rapunzel smiled and nodded. She led the two other females to the door.

"Say hello to Jacklyn and Hicca for me," was all she said. Merida and Astrid nodded and began their journey to the Berk Orphanage, not only to give them the money they had collected, but to see two little girls who had been orphaned since birth, and were now like the sisters they've never had. Hicca Dragonia and Jacklyn Overland.

Kura: Wow, I made Stoick a jerk, nice! He's a great Scrooge, don't ya think?

Sakura: Review, next time, we join Merida and Astrid at the orphanage. And for those who are curious, Hicca and Stoick are not related, yet anyways.
