A/N Okay, next chapter! Thanks to hcsp1 and LettersUnWritten for their reviews! Okay, not much to say here except, I don't own Brave or How to Train your Dragon! Enjoy!

Two days passed and Hiccup and Toothless were still "prisoners", but they were slightly more comfortable around Merida and her family. Merida and Hiccup were currently in the stables feeding Toothless and Angus. Toothless pushed the fruit away. Hiccup sighed, "I know," he said petting his best friend, "I would probably be sick of fruit too."

Toothless put his head on his front legs. Hiccup sighed and sat down beside Toothless, "I'm sorry bud," he said.

Merida watched Hiccup and Toothless for a while, "We should get back home," she said.

Hiccup just nodded and stood up. Merida glanced at Angus before following Hiccup. Not even an hour later, Merida returned with her bow and arrows. Toothless tilted his head. Merida got on Angus, "If I'm not back by sunset, get Hiccup," Merida then rode off as fast as Angus could go.

Toothless blinked in confusion and shock.

Merida got off Angus and looked around for any signs of Vikings. Once Merida was sure it was safe, she took an arrow from her holder and set the rest and her bow on the sand and dove into the ocean. She caught about five fish on her arrow before having to come up for air. Merida then set the fish on the sand before repeating the process. Finally, Merida had more than enough for Toothless, "There's a lot of fish here," she said then began putting the fish in the basket she brought, "Don't know why I'm so shocked though."

Suddenly, Merida heard Viking voices. She panicked slightly and quickly told Angus to hide in the woods. Merida hoped they wouldn't know she's the princess and continued putting fish in the basket, "Hey!" she tensed and turned and saw a girl that matched Hiccup's description of Astrid and a boy that match Snotlout, "Who are you?"

Merida hesitated before saying, "Merida."

"Why are you here, Scot?" Astrid asked.

Merida quickly thought of an excuse, "My family needs food and our river is completely out of fish," she said.

"Well," Snotlout said, "How about you give us your fish and we pretend this meeting never happened?"

Merida glared at Snotlout, "Or…" Merida grabbed her arrow and Astrid and Snotlout put their hands on their swords, "Calm down. Ah was just gonna catch ye some fish. Sheesh. What do ye take us for, killers?"

Astrid and Snotlout blinked. Merida stood up, "How much do ye need?" she asked standing at the edge of the ocean.

"Wait," Astrid said, "You'll just catch us fish…after we just invaded your home?"

Merida closed her eyes and dove into the ocean again.

About an hour later, Merida had enough fish to feed the Vikings and their dragons, "This enough?" she asked.

"Yes…" Astrid said shocked, "But how…I mean, how did you know we needed that much?"

Merida picked up her basket of fish, "Ah saw yer folk flyin' on dragons. Let's just say Ah doubt they eat one fish and are satisfied," she said, "Am Ah free to go? 'Cause Ah have three younger brothers tae feed."

"Yes," Snotlout said.

Merida turned to leave, "Wait!" Merida froze, "This doesn't change anything…but, thanks…"

Merida looked at Astrid and nodded. Merida found Angus and quickly got on, "Let's go, Angus," she said and Angus ran off.

When Merida returned to the stables, she found Hiccup beside Toothless, "Where'd you go?" Hiccup asked, "And why are you soaked?"

Merida dumped the fish, "What?" Hiccup asked shocked.

Toothless ran over to the fish and began eating. Hiccup stood up, "You went to the ocean?"

Merida just nodded, "Ah also ran into yer friends, Astrid and Snotlout," she said moving Angus over to the hay.

"What? Are you okay?" Hiccup asked, "And you didn't hurt them did you?"

Merida chuckled, "No," she said, "They're apparently runnin' out of food 'cause Ah caught them fish to feed them and their dragons."

Hiccup blinked, "Why?" he asked.

Merida moved some of her wet hair out of her face, "'Cause this is all a big misunderstandin'," she said, "And if ye changed them before then maybe ye can do it again."

Hiccup blinked then looked down, "I don't think so," he said, "There's a pretty bad grudge and Vikings don't tend to forget that easily."

Merida looked at Hiccup, "Hiccup," she said causing the boy to turn to her, "Why do ye keep blamin' yourself? Ye couldn't control what yer father did."

Hiccup looked at Merida, "Why do you care?" he asked, "We hardly know each other."

Merida clinched her hands into fists, "So?" she asked angrily, "You're the only one who understands me! Maybe Ah care 'cause Ah know what you're going through!"

Hiccup looked at Merida in shock, "What?" he asked.

Merida sighed, "Never mind," she said and walked out of the stables.

Hiccup looked at Merida then at Toothless, who was giving him a deadpanned look, "What?" Hiccup asked.

Toothless pushed Hiccup with his tail with the same face on, "What?" Hiccup asked.

Toothless just bent down and continued to eat his fish. Hiccup sighed and followed Merida back to the palace.

Merida sat in her room fuming. She kept muttering things about how Hiccup was unappreciative. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, "Go away!" she yelled.

The door creaked open, "Merida?" Merida turned at her mother's voice.

"Mom?" Merida asked.

Elinor came in and closed the door, "What's the matter Merida? Ye haven't left yer room since ye returned from the' ocean," Elinor said sitting on the bed beside her daughter.

Merida sighed, "Ah don't know," she said, "'at Hiccup is just...just...ugh!" Merida fell into her pillow, "Ah do somethin' nice for him and he asks why?!"

Elinor stared at her daughter, "Merida, is it possible 'at ye, well, love Hiccup?" she asked.

Merida's head snapped up, "What?!" she yelled, "No! Ah hardly know him! What would make ye even consider 'at mother?!"

Elinor shook her head, "Merida, Ah think ye do have some feelings for the boy," she said.

"Ah do not!" Merida yelled.

Elinor just smiled and stood up, "Well, why don't ye go talk to him? He seemed a wee confused when he came back," she said.

Merida sighed; "Fine…" she muttered getting off her bed.

Merida walked up to Hiccup's room and knocked, "Come in," Hiccup's voice came.

Merida opened the door slowly, "Merida?" Hiccup asked sitting up.

Merida crossed her hands behind her back, "Look I'm sorry for snappin'," she said then looked at the ground for a second before back at Hiccup, "But none of this is yer fault. Somethin' bein' yer fault would be...oh say, takin' a magic potion from a witch and turnin' yer mother and brothers into bears..."

Hiccup blinked, "You turned you mother and brothers into…bears?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Not on purpose!" Merida said quickly, "Ah told the witch 'at Ah wanted to change my fate and she gave me a potion 'at changed my mother into a bear then my brothers took the potion and well..."

Hiccup covered his mouth and tried not to laugh, but snickers came out, "What's so funny?!" Merida yelled.

"Nothing," Hiccup said still trying to hold back laughs, "I just tried picturing your mother doing her queenly stuff as a bear…it's actually quiet amusing…"

Merida then started chuckling quietly, "It was funny..." she said smiling.

Suddenly, Fergus burst in, "Dad?!" Merida yelled shocked.

Fergus was slightly out of breath, "Hiccup…your friends have sent one of their dragons here!" he said, "It's destroyin' everythin'!"

"What!" Merida yelled.

Hiccup quickly got off the bed and ran beside Merida. Merida pushed the doors open and both teens gasped, "That's…not one of ours…" Hiccup said, "That's a Scauldron. It can't breathe fire, but instead shoot boiling water. What's it doing out of the water?"

"Who cares? Cannot ye just do yer wee...trust thingy...and make it stop?" Merida asked.

Hiccup looked around, "I can't," he said, "All these people are attacking it; it feels threatened."

Merida groaned, "I'll get the people to put their weapons down," Merida began to run off, "Just find some way to calm it down!"

Merida ran around the village yelling for people to put their weapons down. Nobody seemed to be listening, "Put them down!" Merida yelled, "You're only makin' it attack!"

Suddenly, Merida was drenched in water, "Sorry Princess!" a man yelled as he ran by.

Merida yelled in frustration, "Everybody STOP!" the people froze, including Hiccup, "Drop yer weapons!" every sword, spear, and knife clattered to the ground.

Merida moved her soaked dress, "Ugh," she said, "Hiccup, Do somethin' about the drag-eep," the Scauldron's face was suddenly in front of hers.

"Princess!" people went to grab their weapons again.

"No!" Hiccup yelled, "No, no, just…wait…"

"Why should we trust ye, Viking?" a man yelled.

Hiccup turned to Merida, who had backed up a step, "Um…Hiccup…" she said nervously.

"Remember what I told you, Merida?" Hiccup said, "It's all about trust."

Merida looked at the Scauldron just as it pulled its head back and tilted it slightly. She gulped, "Merida!" Hiccup stopped Fergus and Elinor.

"No," Hiccup said, "Don't startle it. Let Merida do this."

Fergus and Elinor looked at Merida as she slowly put her arm out with her palm facing the Scauldron. Hiccup watched and noticed that Toothless was tensed, ready to attack if need be. The Scauldron made a noise of contentment and put its head on Merida's hand. Merida was shocked, along with everyone else, except Hiccup. Hiccup smiled and began to walk over, "See?" he said once the Scauldron removed its head, "It's all about trust."

The Scauldron suddenly fell down. Hiccup and Merida quickly bent down to it, "Its hurt," Hiccup stated, "But not by weapons…" Hiccup ran his hand over the wound, "This is by a Whispering Death, but that can't be possible. There's no way it would travel all the way here if it was hurt…oh no…"

"What?" Merida asked worried.

"I think there are dragons in Scotland," Hiccup stated, loud enough for everyone to hear.

The people began to panic, "Alright, everybody calm down," Elinor said moving her hands in a calming way, "If there are dragons here and this is the first attack they've done, then they aren't after us."

"Toothless," Hiccup called, "Come here, bud."

Toothless ran over causing people close to the stables to yelp or scream in fear. Hiccup petted Toothless quickly, "Can you heal this wound, bud?" he asked.

Toothless nodded and began licking the wound. Merida petted the Scauldron gently on the head. Toothless finished licking and sat down. The Scauldron placed its head in Merida's wet lap, "Well, looks like you have yourself your dragon," Hiccup smiled.

Merida smiled at Hiccup then at the Scauldron, "It's a girl, by the way," Hiccup stated.

"How can ye tell?" Merida asked.

"You don't wanna know…" Hiccup said then laughed rubbing his neck nervously.

Merida chuckled and looked down at the Scauldron, "Ah like Agnes," she said, "That's what Ah was gonna name Angus, but he turned out to be a boy."

Hiccup chuckled when Angus turned to Merida in shock. Merida laughed. Nobody noticed Elinor pull Fergus away, "Elinor?" Fergus asked.

"Ah know how we can end this war between us and the Vikings," Elinor said happily.

Fergus tilted his head, "What?" he asked.

Elinor just smiled, "Have ye seen those kids, Fergus?" she asked.

Fergus seemed to realize, "Elinor… Are ye really gonna force Merida into marriage again? After what happened last time?"

"Of course not!" Elinor yelled, "They obviously have feelings for each other. All we have to do is give them a wee push..."
