Author's Note: Wow I'm not used to doing this okay. I really really tried to make this interesting but I failed.. Oh well. I hope you enjoy this chapter! Merida's accent really was trouble.. Also I'm really sorry this is so short and bad!
Ah, welcome back. Are you ready for this story to continue? Sit back and relax. We're only just beginning, after all..
We left off where Jack had just met Hiccup, if I remember correctly.
Yes, I was right. As always! Hiccup had just left Jack all alone in the snow. Just like that. He didn't even bother to ask the poor little Frost of he needed a place to stay.
Jack ended up exploring the unfamiliar island he was stuck on.
He would silently watch the villagers and the dragons. Strange creatures they are, both the villagers and beasts. The people on that island were tough and tasteless. They did backbreaking work with ease. Also, the dragons were so hard to understand. They looked dangerous but they acted like house pets.
Especially that Night Fury, he was just like a big black cat. Curiosity-filled and very caring towards his owner. Jack still didn't trust Toothless, seeing as the dragon was threatening to him since the start. Who wouldn't trust a creature like that?
Hiccup and his friends, of course. Speaking of which, his friends are very colorful in personality. The two twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, loved roughhousing. Though they fought a lot they are inseparable. The timid and often scared one is known as Fishlegs. He seemed to know a lot about dragons, sometimes knowing even more than Hiccup. One, who seemed to be very conceited but helpful, made cocky comments on Jack and his looks. This child is known as Snotlout.
Then there's Astrid. A headstrong girl who seemed to love being in control over things that happened in her life. Jack liked her the most out of the group. She was spunky and knew how to have a lot of fun without getting into too much trouble.
Still, out of all the friends Jack had made he would stay around Hiccup the most. Hiccup didn't know this, but Jack admired him greatly. He loved the things the dragon trainer would make. He was good at hiding this, for he would play many pranks on Hiccup and call him names. Reptile Lover being the most used one.
While the teenagers played in Berk two princesses were about to meet in a tower outside of the Kingdom of Corona. Their names are Princess Merida DonBroch and Princess Rapunzel Fitzherbert of Corona.
Except Rapunzel didn't quite know she was a princess just yet. With that Merida never did like to think of herself so highly.
Both were stubborn, nonetheless. The fiery red head hated having things planned out for her life. Because of that she turned her mother into a bear. Shame, isn't it? That someone had to go through so much in order to change their own fate.
Her mother is fine now. Merida was out and about shooting arrows in the forest like always. Not much had changed.
That is until the strange Doctor appeared to Merida out of nowhere while she was riding Angus.
If Angus hadn't sped to a stop they would have crashed. What a tragic thing that would have been!
Jumping off of her horse armed with her bow at the ready, Merida slowly confronted the man. "Can A gie ye a haund?" she questioned, weary of the stranger that stood before her.
The man simply smiled and raised his hand in a still wave, "Hm? Oh no. But thank you! Hello! I'm the Doctor! Who are you?"
"Ah'm Merida.. Tch, cummoan!" she simply shouted. Who is this man and what does he want with her?
The Doctor reached a hand out to her, completely ignoring the arrow that was pointed in his face, and said one of the strangest things Merida will ever hear in her life, "How's about you come traveling with me? There's someone I'd like you to meet! Come on then, let's go!"
'Go? Is he steamin?' Merida thought to herself.
Such nerve he has! Showing up in the middle of nowhere, interrupting her practice time! And how dare he ask- no TELL her to go with him to some.. some 'wee lamb'? Where is this place he wants her to go to for the matter?
Something in Merida was telling her to go with him. Telling her to trust him. But could she? This "Doctor" is so oddly dressed and he hasn't stopped smiling since he ran in front of her!
The whole while Angus was brewing up a storm, stomping and galloping back and forth while neighing. Her horse was such a worry wort, but maybe she should listen to him for once..
"Naw."
At that Merida placed her bow on her torso, the string showing in the front while the wooden limbs rested at her sides, and she ran towards the Doctor.
"That's the spirit!" he exclaimed, "I'm sure you'll love where you're going!"
While the Doctor was showing off his blue police box, a thing known as the TARDIS, Rapunzel was waiting up in her tower.
By waiting, I mean doing her chores, finding something entertaining to do while her mother was away. Rapunzel had been inside that tower all of her life. The only outside she has seen was the view from her only window. It seemed so beautiful out there! She's always dreamed of feeling the green grass underneath her bare feet, hearing the sounds of birds and other animals up close as she dashes through the forest and off to the nearby kingdom to see the lights.
Oh, the lights. What she wouldn't give to see those enchanting things. Why she could just see them when she closed her eyes! That was her only dream. A dream so tiny and small but so unachievable for a girl in her situation.
"Oh, Pascal!" Rapunzel sighed, picking her chameleon up by his tail as she tiptoed her way towards her window, her long hair flowing behind her, "I can't wait to see the lights! What do you think it'll be like up close? Amazing? Beautiful? Fantastic?! I just really wish I could see them in person.."
Pascal rolled his eyes at the often daydreaming Rapunzel. He was used to hearing this story over and over again. This had to have been the hundredth time since she's told it! But, who could blame her? If anyone else were in her position they would feel exactly the same.
The blond teenager was lost in her thoughts. 'Why won't mother take me to see the lights? I've been good! Right?'
She wouldn't dare let another sigh escape her lips. She had to think positive! Everything will get better! If you sit there and think about the bad things the good things won't happen!
Poor dear. She needed a friend, badly. Someone other than Pascal. No offense, but the tiny reptile simply isn't enough to keep as a companion. She needed someone who could reply. Not through actions, but through words. Now who could that someone be?
Well, maybe it could be that hotheaded girl descending down the steps that led to Rapunzel's bedroom.
Oh, Rapunzel dear, stop being lost in the clouds! Wake up!
"Huh? Oh! Who are you?" Rapunzel questioned, stumbling for her frying pan upon seeing Merida.
Merida simply gave this girl a confused expression at the frying pan. She guessed this was her house or something.. Why had that numpty doctor brought her here, of all places?
"Uh.. Guid eenin! Ah was just.. Ah.. Merida! Ma name is Merida!" Merida stammered out. Great. How was she going to explain to this girl how she got here?
Rapunzel looked the other girl up and down, her face filled with alarm. "No one can get in here but mother.. How did you get here?"
The Princess laughed nervously before she replied, "Some man eh.. A'm tint! Lost, Ah mean! Yes! A bampot he is, he.. Aye, is that hair?" Out of curiosity, and slight disgust, she bent down and picked a handful of hair up with her hand, watching it droop between her fingers before she glanced back up at the strange girl in front of her.
Silence ensued as they watched each other. Rapunzel had never seen a human other than her mother. What should she do? Invite the girl with wild hair to sit down for a cup of tea and a slice of pie? Or should she throw the girl out? Oh, how her mother would be furious to see someone in the tower with her!
"Yes.. That's hair," Rapunzel finally broke the silence, taking a step back to make the hair fall out of Merida's hands, "You didn't answer my question. Why are you here?"
Instead of the Princess replying, a man did, "We're here to change your life! For the better, of course." He stepped out from behind Rapunzel's curtains, a huge, friendly grin on his face.
The appearance of the Doctor gave Merida more determination, for she stepped forward and held out her hand. "Merida DeBronch is ma name! Ahm sorry fer uh.. Breakin' inta yer house! Would ye like tae come with us?"
"I'm Rapunzel," the blond one mumbled, dropping her frying pan to her side while a threatening looking chameleon stared on. She didn't reach out to shake Merida's hand. Instead, she looked on at the man and.. Merida, "Go with you where? What is this? What's going on here?"
"Now now, don't be alarmed! We're here to help! Though you should probably tie that river of a hair up before we leave," he answered her question with a riddle type of response.
'You have to be kidding me.. Should I go? What if mother gets mad.. Oh, she'll be so angry if I leave! I.. I don't know.'
With a trembling hand, Rapunzel grabbed Merida's and smiled.
