This is a modern AU, where Merida, Rapunzel, Anna and Elsa are daughters of Mayors, Hiccup is the son of the Chief of Police, and Jack is a close friend/ adopted son of orphanage owners. Merida is almost seventeen, Anna is sixteen, Hiccup and Rapunzel are eighteen, and Jack and Elsa are nineteen. I'm sorry if you have a problem with these ages, but I think these ages work best.

Merida and her mother still have issues, mostly because her mother wants her to be an upper class lady while it is Merida's dream to join the Olympics for archery.

Hiccup (If this were in the HTTYD universe) is fighting Viggo. In this AU, he and his wolf Toothless and the gang are working to prevent an illegal black market of animal pelts by Viggo and Ryker. Toothless lost his leg in a trap, and after they became friends, saved Hiccup from a fire that he lost his leg in. Stoick immediately made sure that Toothless was brought into the family after saving his son's life.

Rapunzel has just found out that her "mother" wasn't her mother, and that she is actually the daughter of the mayor of Corona. Her hair is still long, and the reason Gothel took her was to claim money from foster care by pretending that Rapunzel was a foster child. Eugene "Flynn" Fitzherbert helped her out, and the two started dating after she was reunited with her real family.

Anna and Elsa's parents have not yet died for the purpose of this story. Elsa is learning to take over her family's business, and is rather proper and just a tinniest bit stiff. Anna is outgoing, and loves to just have fun with her high school friends.

Jack helped the Guardians (in this world, they are in charge of an orphanage) with a man named Pitch who was trying to abuse the children. His mother and sister were killed before hand, so the Guardians adopted him after the Pitch fiasco, and he works at the orphanage, making sure the children stay happy and upbeat and have fun.

Ships: Hiccstrid (eventually), Kristanna (in the future), Rapunzel x Flynn/Eugene (what is their ship name?), and Jelsa (in the future). I retain the belief that Merida is a strong independent woman, so I don't ship her with anybody.

Disclaimer: I don't own HTTYD, Frozen, Brave, Tangled, or RoTG. If I did, I probably wouldn't have to rely on my mom to help me find opportunities in my life. Anything that sounds familiar in this fanfic was an idea of Disney or Dreamworks.


Merida POV

Merida groaned when she woke up to find a light blue and gold dress laid out for her in her room. She recalled her mother mentioning there was an upper class society (read: the rich and important people) party today at the mayor of Corona's house that they would be attending. At the time, Merida thought she was referring to herself and her father. She didn't realize that her mother meant for her daughter to come along as well. The red head stuffed her face underneath her comforter. She hated being rich. Why did her father have to be the mayor of a neighboring town? And why was she being dragged along to the fancy uptight dinner parties? A knock at her room sounded, and Merida peeked out from her bed to see her mother open the door. Cue the groan.

"Merida, that is no way for a lady to act." Elinor said, walking into her daughters room.

"Mum, do I have to go to your party? Can't I stay at home? I would watch the devils while you and Dad were out!" Merida tried to bargain. Key word: tried.

"Merida, you are almost seventeen, it's high time you begin to learn how to act as a proper lady. This party would be a great learning experience for you." Her mother walked over to the dummy on which the hideous dress stood. She fixed a small wrinkle in the sleeve before turning back to her daughter. "Come on then. Get up. I've already let you sleep in today."

Merida glanced at her alarm clock. "Mum, it's only nine in the mornin'. It's a Saturday. I can sleep in for a while longer."

Elinor looked at her, and Merida relented. She spent the better part of her day standing in front of her mother, a maid, and a mirror while the two females fixed her up and the silver furniture mocked how the athletic girl was slowly being consumed in a tight dress. After what seemed like forever, Merida was sitting in her families car in a too-tight dress and her hair pulled into a neat up-do. She hated every minute of the ride to the party, and was planning on hating every moment spent there. When her father finally stopped the car, and the three got out, Merida's mother looked at her.

"Merida," she started, then paused. "Remember to smile," she eventually said, then turned and linked her arm with her husband. Merida turned to look at her, then took a breath before starting up the stairs herself. She was nearly to the door of the mansion when she hear rustling in the bushes. She stared at the brush, but it was still. Merida finally turned away, but not before wondering whether or not she saw a wolf. She shook her head. A wolf wouldn't get this close to a large house and just wait in the bushes. It would find much easier prey in the forest. She eventually stepped through the doors and entered her worst nightmare. Everything looked perfect. Everyone looked perfect. And she felt so alone. She would never fit in a crowd like this. What was the school archer and horse-back rider doing in a place like this, she asked herself. She sighed. If she was going to be here, she might as well find her father. At least she knew him, and they could joke about how everyone looked. It wasn't hard to find her father, a large red haired man, talking to another man. The red haired girl stopped in surprise. She always thought her father was the biggest man she ever saw, but talking to him was a man his very size, with a vast beard and a hand on a skinny boy with brown hair next to him. Merida continued to move towards her father, until she stood next to him. Her father turned.

"Ah, Stoick, here she is!" he said to the other. "My only daughter, Merida. Merida, this is Stoick Haddock, the Chief of Police and his son, Henry Haddock." Merida gave a tight lipped smile, the only thing in her mind being How on earth is that man that boy's father? He's twice his size, the wee lamb! Henry held out his hand.

"Hey. It's nice to meet you." Merida stuck her own hand out and the two shook. She studied the boy. Henry looked about eighteen, with messy windblown hair and forest green eyes, and freckles that dotted his face.

"It's nice to meet you as well. Henry Haddock. I'm Merida DunBroch." She let go of his hand. At this point the two men had turned to talk to one another, and Henry and Merida were left standing akwardly together.

"So," he began. "This your first time at a function like this?"

"Yes. My mother decided that I would follow in her footsteps, and that this was a good traning field for a future high class lady."

"Well she's right." Merida shot him a look. He explained, "It is a good place to practice being a high class person. But you don't strike me as someone who want's to do that."

"I don't. Mum does." She replied, slightly bitter.

"Well, what do you want to do?" Henry asked. Merida blinked. No one really cared to ask that of her before.

"Me? I want to be able to compete in the Olympics. For archery. I've learned from a young age. And what about you? I suppose this isn't your first high class party?"

Henry shook his head. "Nah, I've been dragged along to them before. Preferably, I would like to be outside with my friends, working on . . . errr. . . stuff. We, um, we are working on helping some animals, but need some time to figure out where they are. But Dad had to go to this event, and asked if I could tag along." he sighed. "Can't complain to much. I don't see my father all that often."

Merida's intrests peeked. "You don't? Wait, is it college?"

Henry shook his head. "No. My friends and I live together in a couple of cabins in the woods." Merida shot him a look of confusion. The woods? Why would he live there? He saw her look, and answered, "It's easier to work with the animals when you are closer to them. Besides, Toothless and the other like it out there."

"Toothless? Who is that?" She asked. This boy got wierder by the second.

He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, where two braids pocked out at the nape of his neck. He glanced around uneasily. "Promise you won't freak?" She nodded cautiously. He said, "Toothless is my wolf." Merida blinked.

"Your wolf? Did I hear that right?" She asked him. He nodded.

"Ya. It's a long story." He looked behind her and said," Um, there is a woman walking towards here, and I think she want's your attention."

Merida looked around, and stiffled a groan when she saw her mother approach her.

Elinor stopped in front of the two. "Merida, there is someone I'd like you to meet. Come on," and like that she was marching back the way she came.

Merida sighed. "Looks like my time is up. It was nice meeting you Henry."

The boy smiled. "And it was nice meeting you. And Merida? You can call me Hiccup. All my friends do." Merida smiled back, before reluctantly turning to go after her mother.
