Audun gaped and scowls "who is this boy anyways?! My father said he was ex-heir to a village!"

Drake nervous answers "I don't want to be found by my old village because they exile me for no reason. I don't forgive them and I removed myself from their tribe and don't plan on rejoining them."

Audun grins "they threw you out for being weakling or you ran away because your girlfriend cheated on you or she realized you were useless to be her boyfriend!"

Drake sighs "I thought you were a nice heir who would care about what the girl likes and wants, but now I realize you didn't give a damn about Shelby."

He gets up and walks away from Audun.

Shelby scowls "I'll make sure my parents reject your marriage contract and your father will hear about this conversation!"

She follows her boyfriend out of the hall.

Drake stops outside to wait for Shelby to catch up.

Shelby sighs "I'm sorry about Audun. He changed out there at sea. Before you came I felt lost because he was lost out at sea."

Drake sighs "he reminded me of my cousin at Berk."

Shelby hugs him "let's go talk to the chief about his son's attitude."

They go look for the Balder to inform him of his son.

Balder was checking the farmers field when Shelby calls his name.

Balder grins "Shelby, Drake, what do you two want?"

Drake sighs "he demanded I break up with Shelby and said I was a loser Blacksmith and disrespect Shelby's necklace that I made her and gloated about me being exiled and Astrid ending our friendship."

Balder sighs "I'm sorry about him, Drake. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Shelby grins "you can not come to my house to present a marriage contract between me and Audun because he disrespected my boyfriend.

And my dad won't allow him to marry me if I say so and I refuse to marry him permanently."

Balder sighs "with comments like that against your current boyfriend, you can claim your afraid of him and call for grounds to end the marriage contract."

Hiccup and Shelby leave to go talk to Shelby's father.

Eric was helping fisherman bring today's catch with the help of Toothless to the storage shed.

Shelby ask "dad?"

Eric turns to his daughter and Drake and ask "what do you need, daughter?"

Shelby answers "me and my boyfriend just got done informing Chief Balder that his son disrespected my boyfriend and disrespected my necklace that Drake made me."

Eric gape "you mean the heir who returned last night?"

Drake nods his head "that would be the one."

Eric sighs "what do you want, daughter?"

Shelby scowls "he is not allowed to come ask for a marriage contract between me and Audun."

Eric gape "you know with him being heir, he could buy you as property unless you claim to be scared of him or become pregnant with another boy's baby."

Shelby ask "in order to not marry that boy, I have to say I'm scared to marry him?"

Eric nods his head "yes, daughter."

Shelby and Drake decided go swimming in the forest."

They go home and grab two towels and leave heading to the forest.

Audun caught sight of Drake and Shelby heading to the forest with two towels and decided to follow them.

Shelby smirks "I wonder the villagers would guess what we were doing in the forest alone?"

Drake leads her to the lake and says "here's the lake, now to find a spot to take our clothes off unless you want to swim in your clothes?"

Shelby looks around to find nothing, but a few trees that are away from the lake and looks back at Drake and says "close your eyes and no peeking."

Drake comments "your dad wouldn't like me watching you take off your clothes and he trust me already with sleeping beside you on some days when you don't want to sleep alone in your bed."

Audun widen his eyes at hearing that the girl he wanted to court was sleeping in Drake's bed on some nights when she doesn't want to sleep alone.

Drake covers his eyes to allow Shelby to remove her clothes and grins "I wonder what you would look like naked after we got married in the future?"

Shelby takes off leggings and laughs before replying "you would have to wait until we are eligible to marry each other."

Drake grins "happy to wait until we reach the age to get married."

Audun watch Shelby take off her pants and shirt and walk into the lake in her bra and underwear and whispers "she has great body."

Shelby grins "you can take off your shirt and join me now."

Drake takes off his shirt, but keeps his shorts on.

They swim around each other, race each other dive underwater.

After two hours of swimming, they get out and dry off with their towels.

An hour later sunbathing, they walk back home.

Shelby sighs "Drake, you show more honor and respect for girls. I'm sure if Astrid gave you a chance, she would have been happy to date you, but it's her lost, so don't feel sad when you think about how horrible she betrayed you."

Drake kisses her lips softly for a second.

Eric and Helga were at home cooking dinner when Drake and Shelby walked in.

Helga ask "did you two dry off good?"

Shelby grins "we sunbathe before coming back home."

Eric ask "Drake, you two change in front of each other or took turns changing?"

Drake shakes his head "no Eric, she had me cover my eyes while she did what she did and when she told me I could uncover them, she was in the lake. I only took off my shirt and join her."

Helga grins "that's great to know your not like other boys that watch young girls take off clothes to go swimming."%ģ GJ g b y66ah

Drake sighs "I couldn't do that to you or your daughter after you welcomed me into your home after my bad childhood."

Shelby grins "he did say he wonder what I look like naked after we got married in the future and I said he would have to wait until we are eligible to get married and he responded happy to wait until we got married."

Eric smiles and hugs Drake and says "I'm proud to call you son in law because of your respect for my daughter, but you two should be careful out there in the forest alone."

They eat dinner together as a family and head to bed. Drake stayed up to draw a picture of him and Shelby swimming in a lake.

Shelby walked in his room to see Drake drawing and ask "I thought you were sleeping."

Drake replies "no, I wanted to draw a picture of us swimming in the lake."

Shelby looks at her charm necklaclle and says "I don't have a swimming charm."

Drake grins "I'll make you a swimming charm tomorrow after lunch."

Shelby ask "how do you get permission to make stuff for me and not get in trouble for it?"

Drake grins "the stuff I make for you as gifts are made out of the material that I make from dragons."

Shelby grins "I'm glad you came into my life."

Drake thinks about Astrid and ask "do you think I should make contact with Astrid or forget about her?"

Shelby sighs "I would say wait two more years before contacting her and say your doing fine with your Night Fury."

Drake nods his head and says "I'm ready for bed. You want lay with me or go back to your bed?"

Shelby grins and walks over to his bed and lays down in it.

Drake joins her laying down facing away from her.

Next morning, they get up and go downstairs to eat breakfast.

Drake walks down to the forge when he is grabbed by hands and pushed against the house to see Audun and two of his boy friends and ask "what the heck do you want?"

Audun scowls "your going to break up with Shelby when you see her at lunch and move out of their house or I'm going to tell the whole village that you and Shelby had got very intimate in the lake and watch you be forced to leave this island.

And don't you even tell anyone about this conversation or I'll reveal that you rape her every night after her parents go to bed and threatened her to keep quiet."

Audun leaves with his two buddies after punching Drake in the stomach twice.

Drake walks over to the forge to check his stomach to see it bruised.

Gunnar walks in to see Drake's bruised stomach and ask "did you make Shelby mad last night or this morning?"

Drake sighs "I don't want to talk about it because no one would believe me."

Gunnar sternly challenges him "try me."

Drake sighs "Audun threatened me to break up with Shelby at lunch time."

Gunnar gape "I don't believe you because I know him since he first ask for a sword for his tenth birthday."

Drake sighs and works in silence.

Lunch time came, Drake left to go visit Toothless to figure out what to do since Audun was going to lie about them getting intimate while they were swimming in the lake in the forest before his eyes widen and runs over to the elders hut to look for law book.

Two hours later, Eric opens the door and yells "I FOUND HIM!"

He ask "Drake, you scared my daughter when you didn't show up at the hall for lunch today."

Drake sighs "sorry to scare Shelby, but I found something that you would be very interested to know I wasn't watching your daughter take off her clothes, but Audun was and I can get him dishonor by the public."

Eric gape in shock "Audun follow you both to the lake?"

Drake answers "yes and watch her undress, as well as threatened me with telling the whole village that I rape Shelby every night after you both go to bed which is a lie."

Eric ask "can you prove this?"

Drake lifts up his shirt to show his bruised stomach Audun and two of his buddies restraint me from defending myself."

Eric gasped at the bruised on Drake's stomach and says "come with me."

Eric and Drake walk over to their healer to take care of Drake's stomach.

Afterwards, Eric says "tell me all Audun said to you."

Drake nervous tells him what Audun said to him about him and Shelby sometimes sleep in the same bed only because Shelby didn't want to sleep alone.

Eric ask "did you two get intimate at the lake in the forest?"

Drake shakes his head "no, I wouldn't do that to your daughter because we are still too young for that."

Eric takes Drake to the hall to have lunch.

Shelby runs over to them and ask "Drake, Audun told me you wanted to tell me something about us as boyfriend and girlfriend."

Before Drake could tell her the truth, Eric sternly tells his daughter "I don't want you hanging around the heir unless an adult is with you."

Audun watch with his two buddies.

Drake catches their attention and says "Eric, those two were the ones who restrain me while Audun punched me in the stomach."

Eric looks at Audun and his two buddies and walks over to them and scowls "you three, get up and come with me now!"

Eric escorts them out of the hall to Balder and tells him what Audun and his buddies did to Drake.

Audun scowls "we didn't attack him!"

Balder sternly says "son you better tell me the truth because Gunnar inform me of seeing Drake's bruise stomach and told me that he said that you attack him and no one would believe him."

Audun nervous answers "yes, but he got intimate with Shelby at the lake in the forest!"
