A Fork in the Road

Sorry for not updating this story in forever! I was writing a birthday story for my friend Dawn to Dusk Makes a Day. It's called Waiting for a chance. Check it out if you like! Hope you enjoy the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own the obvious.

Mari's POV

The next morning, I had to go talk to the king, again. I felt like this conversation I was going to have with him, would take, forever...

I walk into the throne room, and there are the three sour faces, and the kind hearted queen.

I sit down in a chair that has been placed in the center of the red carpet, but I'm close enough that they can hear me speak.

"Good Morning Marigold the Hidden" the king says, in a voice a bit too loud for the morning.

"Good Morning to you to, you majesty" I reply

"Since you don't want to help us with war, we had come up with another idea, we could make a treaty by having you, marry my son."

"Excuse me father?" The young prince says, clearly he didn't know about this

"Well, we all know you like her, she's a very nice looking girl" his father says, I blush at that comment.

"We never agreed on this!"

"But, I'm your father"

"You promised I could choose who I wanted to marry!"

"I don't make promises"

"Then your a king that lies to his town and court"

"Watch your tongue young man"

Then, Jarvis got up, and stormed out of the hall, taking me by my arm with him.

When we got to the court yard, we sat down on a bench under an apple tree.

Then he says "Marigold, you may look very pretty and are very nice, but I just can't marry you. I don't mean to hurt your feelings..."

"It's okay! I don't want to marry you either! I have another person, who has already taken my heart, he just doesn't know yet." I reply

"So we got that cleared out?" he says

"Yup"

"Okay then"

"I have a plan to stop the war"

"Really, how?"

"We could fake getting married, get the clans to sign a treaty for who knows, a hundred years? And we sign the treaty too, so when hey find out we say 'I don't' at the wedding, they can't break the treaty without our consent in it to because we had signed it"

"You, know, for a girl who was unknown for most of her life, you're pretty smart with people"

"I have my ways... So are you up for my plan?"

"Yes, lets tell my father the great news!"

~·~

"I knew you could do it Jarvis!" the king says patting his son on the back after the great news of how we're 'Getting married'

"But we have one condition" I start "All clans must sign a peace treaty one month before the wedding date, and we request that we sign it too."

"Who cares about conditions! My son is finally getting married! I'll agree with almost any conditions because of that! And your condition there missy, is not that bad."

~·~

I got escorted back to the house I'm staying at and tell Hiccup the plan. He was a bit uneasy when I told him I was 'Married' to the prince, but he was okay with the whole plan.

Astrid's POV

We have won this battle against the enemy, and Mari and Hiccup have gone missing. Should I be worried? I don't know.

I found out who Fernie is though. She's a nice, polite girl who wishes to be a seamstress when she gets older. She has dirty blonde hair, that one day, might be all brown, and green eyes with flecks of yellow and blue. Her eyes were beautiful.

She's a very hard person to be better than. I almost feel like I need to drop my crush on Snotlout and be alone for the rest of my life.

I envy some other girls looks, because me, I have generic blonde hair and blue eyes like every other viking, boy or girl. Ruff and Tuff are the same.

Mari's hair is a beautiful red. Almost an actual red colour, and her deep emerald eyes.

Fernie's unique eyes.

Joyce's almost black hair and freckles.

Tamara's almost always naturally rosy cheeks.

Kaitlyn's cerlean eyes...

I could go on forever.

I guess I just have to accept the way I am, they way I was born.

I hope Mari and Hiccup are okay. I don't blame Hiccup for falling in love with Mari though, I wonder if he's told her yet...

Jarvis's POV

I hope our plan works and no one suspects us.

Phase One is Done.
