Merida and Hiccup are older. The older hiccup looks much cooler. XP

Chapter

Hiccup woke up on the boat and he was none too happy about it. He tried to open the cabin door and it was locked. Hiccup backed up and kicked the door down then walked out. He looked around at the crew. They where all his old friends. Well, all but Astrid and Snotlout. Toughnut and Roughnut both gave him a wide grin. Hiccup rolled his eyes then turned around, looking up at Stoik, "What? You felt the need to knock me out? Why couldn't we talk about it like reasonable adults?"

Stoik smirked at his son until he was done ranting, "You where not speaking to me like a reasonable adult. You where speaking to me with the 12 year old mind of yours." He crossed his own arms over his chest, "You decided to destroy the cabin door, even though you know we are in the middle of the ocean. Toothless came along willingly, I explained to the massive dragon what was going on."

Hiccup swore under his breath then walked to the edge of the boat, looking out over the water. He really didn't want to get married, he had thought Astrid was the one. Why would his father even let him entertain that idea when they knew he had already been betrothed? Hiccup ran his hand through his hair, messing it all up then he turned, leaning on the side of the boat, "So, father, what is Merida like now?"


"Merida, hold still!" Queen Elenor was helping the maids with Merida's dress.

Only Merida was squirming, "Mum! I don't like that headcoverin'! It is annoyin' and it makes me head itch!" She got away from her mother and the redhead glare fiercely. Merida got out of the dress that her mother had her in and got in the one she would wear every day, "Mum, I mean no disrespect, but If Hiccup wants to marry me he will need to see me in clothing other then a fancy dress."

Queen Elenor sighed and rubbed her arms, "Alright." She gave her daughter a smile then hugged her. The two women hugged for a few moments. Elenor could compromise on this. After all, she wasn't the one marrying the lad, not that she wasn't happy that she wasn't. She would never want to be wed to anyone but Fergus

Merida went and got found her horse, "I don't expect them here for 7 days?" She looked at her mother for confirmation and was surprised when she saw her shaking her head no.

"If they are riding their dragons, they could get here in 3 days." Queen Elenor said, looking at her daughter. She watched as Merida's eyes grew to the size of silver dollars.

"Dragons?" Merida asked, curiosity and excitement rising up in her voice, "They have dragons?"

"Aye, they do. My dear, Hiccup has changed quite a bit, I would think." Queen Elenor said with a soft smile in her daughter's direction, "And that would include Dragon taming."

Merida nodded once then smiled back at her mother before running down to find her horse, "Angus!" She hugged the horse and then smiled at the draft. Merida got up on the horse then took off with her bow and arrows, she would be enjoying the last bit of freedom she had.
