Hiccup buried his head into his pillow. Both him and Johan were miserable. At least Johan's bed was above deck. Hiccup and Merida had a bunk bed bellow deck. And Merida snored. A lot. "Will you shut up!" Hiccup groaned. Merida kicked the top bunk. "I wasn't talking stupid." Hiccup leaned his head over the side of the bunk and glared at her. "I'm not stupid." "Yes yee are!" Merida tried to slap him but he sat back up quickly. "Bla bla bla bla." Hiccup mouthed mocking Merida. "Ahh!" Merida yelped. Hiccup grabbed his knife from under his pillow and jumped down. "What's wrong?!" He looked around. Merida was backed against the wall with her hands over her mouth. Her eyes were wide and staring. "What is it?" Hiccup asked. She pointed to the other side of the room. A pair of huge grass green eyes were staring at the two teens.
Merida felt her for her bow and arrow. Hiccup slowly approached the pair of eyes. Merida readied her bow and pulled back. "Out of the way!" She commanded. Hiccup looked back. She released the bow before he could move. The creature tackled Hiccup to the ground. The arrow imbedded itself into a keg of mead. The liquid began to seep out but nobody noticed. The creature slobbered all over the Viking."Toothless?!" Hiccup shoved the night fury off of him. "Toothless what are you doing here?" The dragon wiggled his tail and pushed a box out of the way. There was a hole in the side of the ship. "How did we not see that?" Hiccup's eyes widened. He looked back at Merida. She was breathing heavy about to scream. Hiccup panicked and jumped on her. He covered her mouth."Don't freak out okay. Toothless is my friend." He had to sit on her to keep her in place. But she was much stronger than she looked. She glanced over at the night fury. The dragons eyes were slit but he fidgeted playfully. Merida calmed down. Hiccup removed his hand. Merida gasped for air."T-the dragon is your friend? Are you a witch or something? That would be kind of hot." Hiccup's eyes widened. He scrambled away from her. "I'm not a witch, though technically that would be a warlock." Merida raised an eyebrow."That doesn't matter. Toothless is my dragon. I'm a dragon trainer. He must have followed me here swimming. See that hole over there? He could use it to get on the ship to sleep." Merida glared at him. "You brought a dragon? You really are stupid." Hiccup rolled his eyes. "I didn't want him to follow me." He hissed. "Oh gods. We can't let Johan know. We arrive at the party tomorrow. I'll just have Toothless hide in the forest for a while or something." Hiccup tried to explain to Merida. "We won't do any harm."
Merida smirked. "Is the dragon a secret?" Hiccup narrowed his eyes."Yes. So please don't tell anyone about him." Merida bit her lip." I wouldn't dream of telling anyone. As long as you sleep in my bunk with me. For the rest of the night." Merida smiled snugly. Hiccup on the other hand turned bright red. "It's never going to happen!" He hissed. Merida pouted. "A kiss?" Hiccup shook his head." I get to touch your hair?" Hiccup looked at Toothless and back. "Come again?" "I just want to touch your hair. It's so fluffy." Merida squealed. Hiccup's eye began to twitch." Fine. "Merida forced him to sit next to her. She started to fluff out his already spikey auburn hair. Hiccup pouted. Toothless cracked up laughing. The Viking swatted Merida's hands away. "That's enough." Merida growled. "Can you do me a favor and stop trying to flirt with me. I have a girlfriend! Remember. And she's a lot nicer than you!" He climbed back on his bunk. Merida rolled her eyes."Doubt it! Ugh!" Toothless jumped on Merida."Okay. I'm okay with the lizard being on the boat, but not my lap." Hiccup laughed hysterically. "Had it coming." He pat his bed and Toothless jumped up with Hiccup.
I know I said this would be the party but that will be the next chapter. I really needed to add Toothless before the party. Thank's for reading and please review.
