The school was buzzing. Students chattered away as they headed around. Today was the day, the day everyone had waited for.
Wednesday.
Classes were canceled for the day as the performance would be around 2. Berk and Disney were also the same as they too were invited to watch the performance.
It was around 8 at the moment. The Big Four were to head to 'The Forge' at 9 to receive the winning songs and practice.
Jack, Rapunzel, and Merida stood in the living room, staring at the fourth member as he seemed to be having a mental breakdown...
Hiccup was wrapped in a blanket mumbling to himself.
The 3 stared at him, they knew he was scared, they knew he was worried. Not just about revealing his identity but also how well he did in the exam. Jack placed both hands on Hiccup's shoulder and shook him slightly.
"Hiccup, you need to get a hold of yourself. Everything will be fine, we're your family will be here. None of us will leave you." Hiccup stared up at Jack, a soft smile placed on this lips. Identical one were also on Merida's and Rapunzel's faces.
Hiccup breathed a large breath out. He can do this.
Getting up from his seat he headed to his room to get changed and soon they left for 'The Forge'.
They saw that 'The Forge', even at this time was buzzing. There were even students here. Making their way to the back the 4 greeted Gobber with smiles on their faces.
Inside they all sat or stood in the practice room, staring at Gobber as he held the songs, the winning songs, in his hand.
"So, can we see them?" Merida asked.
"Yeah, I want to know so that Hiccy can calm down." Jack added as he watched Hiccup's eye twitch at the nickname.
"Well then, here you go." Gobber than handed the sheet to Rapunzel will the others crowded around her.
"Oh my, I can't, this is." Rapunzel spoke. Her works broken up with a slight shock in them. The others were silent, they couldn't believe this, they couldn't.
Hiccup stared and stared.
"Well, we have some songs to practice." Hiccup spoke, his voice low and monotone. The others nodded as they went to practice, not like they would need to.
2 o'clock came around. 'The Forge' was the busiest it has ever been, you had students, teachers, the public and a news crew as well.
Rapunzel peaked out of the curtains, staring at the crowd before her.
"There's a lot of people." She said.
"The more the merrier." Jack answered. They all them turned towards Hiccup.
"No backing out now." Merida said.
"Yeah, no backing out." Hiccup answers instantly.
"You 4 get ready, the shows about to begin." Gobber told them before going to the front of the stage to make his announcements.
They stood there, ready as the curtains opened and the crowd screamed as they played the first song.
(Long live - Taylor Swift)
Jack:
I said remember this moment in the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
Merida:
We were the Kings and the Queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives
Would never be the same
Hiccup:
You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age
The Big Four:
Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered
Rapunzel:
I said remember this feeling
I pass the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
On the side-lines wishing for right now
Jack:
We are the Kings and the Queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
Merida:
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, "This is absurd!"
Cause for a moment a band of thieves
In ripped up jeans got to rule the world
The Big Four:
Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live that look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
Hiccup:
Will you take a moment, promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children some day
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
The Big Four:
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life, with you
Long, long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
And I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Singing, long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
And long, long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered
With that, the first song had ended. Without anyone knowing what group wrote the song the crowd chatter, trying to decide which group had won but before they could come to a conclusion Gobber stepped up.
"That was the first song, Long Live and now the next song that will be played is called..."
