Chapter 2: Meeting the First Time

Third Person's P.O.V.

Stoick the Vast had just landed his ship on the shore of the Scottish highlands to meet with King Fergus for trading. He had to bring his son Hiccup because his mother hadn't been feeling so well lately and everyone else was busy because the last dragon attack had caused a lot of damage. He kept a hand on Hiccup's shoulder so he wouldn't wonder off. Hiccup was small and couldn't really defend for himself seeing as he was only five and smaller than the other Viking children so he didn't want some DunBroch villager taking him and killing him. He entered the meeting room where a large table was set up and sat down in his chair, pulling Hiccup into his lap.

"Now son, be quiet while me and King Fergus have our talk," Stoick whispered into his son's ear.

Hiccup nodded and clutched his toy dragon, which his mother had given him, to his chest. King Fergus came walking in with what looked like a large ball of curly fiery red hair on his back. He sat down and pulled a little girl about Hiccup's age onto his lap.

"Sorry 'bout bringing Merida to this but her mother is visiting relatives and won't be back 'til tomorrow," Fergus said.

"It's alright, I had to bring Hiccup along," Stoick said.

"Now let's begin."

While the two older men talked, both of the kids played with their own toys; Hiccup with his dragon and Merida with her little wooden horse. It was about a quarter of the way into the conversation that Hiccup had that urge to go. He began to poke his father's arm and it was on the third poke that he finally got his attention.

"What is it Hiccup? I'm a little busy at the moment," Stoick said, a little annoyed.

"I gotta go," Hiccup said urgently.

"*sigh*, Is it alright if he uses your bathroom?" Stoick asked.

"Yes, I'll have one of me guards show him the way." King Fergus was about to wave a guard over but was stopped by Merida.

"I can show him the way! Please, Daddy?" Merida asked and looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Alright," Fergus said and Merida jumped off his lap.

"C'mon Haddock!" Merida grabbed Hiccup's hand and dragged him along.

They made a couple turns until they came to a single door in an empty hall.

"Here ye go," Merida said.

"Thanks," Hiccup said quietly and went in.

When he came back out, he saw Merida waiting for him.

"We better get back soon or we'll get in big trouble," Hiccup said quietly.

"Naw, c'mon, I want to show ya something!" Merida grabbed his hand again and dragged him off again.

"But we'll get in trouble!" Hiccup said as he struggled not to fall flat on his face.

"No we won't as long as we keep it a secret," Merida said and stopped at a door.

She opened it and there was a large staircase. Merida continued to pull Hiccup along until they came to a large field with targets on the other end.

"This is where Daddy has me practice me archery and sword fightin' but I just started so I'm not that good yet," Merida said.

"I'm not good at sword fighting or archery so. In fact, I'd probably injure myself or at least that's what everybody except my mom says. Everybody thinks that I ruin everything," Hiccup said and gripped the toy dragon tighter.

"No ya don't. How 'bout I teach ya some stuff?" Merida said and brought him a training sword.

"That's not the best idea," Hiccup said but Merida shoved the handle into his hands.

The tip of the blade hit the ground since Hiccup couldn't hold it up.

"C'mon Haddock, lift the blade off the ground," Merida said as she grabbed her training sword.

Hiccup managed to lift it but he didn't know how long he could hold it.

"Now practice the swing."

Hiccup tried but both he and the sword fell to the ground.

"Maybe we should start you with archery. It's much easier than swords," Merida put away the swords and grabbed two bows and some arrows.

"So ya just pull it back, relax, aim, take a deep breathe, let it out slowly, and let go," Merida instructed.

Hiccup did as she asked and Merida checked and corrected the things he was doing wrong. They did this multiple times until he hit the third ring towards the middle.

"We should head back now since it's been awhile," Hiccup said.

"These meetings take a while so don't worry. Besides, I want ta give ya a quick tour of our castle," Merida said.

Hiccup followed her around while she showed him different rooms and secret passages built in the castle long ago by her ancestors. Hiccup paid attention since he knew he would never see this again. They were outside the room that their dads were in when Merida stopped him.

"Now, before ya go I need ya to promise me something. Promise me that ya will practice archery and sword fightin' until we meet again, to get as good as ya can and never give up. And don't let what people say stick in your mind and that you can do great things. Pinky promise Haddock," Merida said and held out her pinky.

Hiccup wrapped his pinky around hers.

"I promise."

Merida opened the door and they walked in. The two men noticed they came in and stood up.

"I best be goin' now that Hiccup's back."

"Yes, Merida, it's time for your lessons," Fergus said and scooped Merida up.

"Yay!" Merida said," Bye Haddock."

Merida waved.

"Bye Merida," Hiccup waved back and followed his dad out back to the boats.
