Journey

In Berk

Hiccup lead Hans back to his house, and when the two young men entered the building, they spotted Stoick making dinner. Whatever he was making seemed to be burning, but the large Viking did not seem to care. Hiccup approached his dad.

"Hey dad, what are you making?" Hiccup asked.

"I am cooking us fish." Stoick replied.

"It looks like roofing material, no more like sticks, such a healthy dinner." Hiccup observed.

Stoick shot his son a glare.

"Okay, okay. Sorry." Hiccup said. "Do you need any help?"

Stoick looked at the burning fish, and then to a pile of fish he had not cooked yet. Hiccup went over to the raw fish, while his dad dumped the burnt fish outside the house. Hans watched father and son from his spot near the doorway. Stoick sat down in his chair, while Hiccup set about cooking their meal. Hans felt a stir a jealousy, Hiccup spoke casually with his father, something Hans was not allowed to do with his own father. Plus, father and son had such a strong bond, which was probably due to Hiccup being an only child. Hans had to compete with twelve older brothers just to get noticed!

Must be nice to be the only child!

Hans frowned, but the other two occupants did not see it. Hiccup did not take too long to make the fish, so everyone sat down to eat it. Hans was still wearing his savage clothes, so he did not have his gloves. There were no forks, so Hans was forced to pick up the fish by his hands, and eat it that way. He expected the fish Hiccup cooked to be disgusting, but surprisingly, it was really good! The Viking Prince could cook!

"Great, dinner is ready!" A voice boomed.

The door slammed open, and in walked Gobber. He hobbled over to the table, and grabbed a plate of fish for himself. Hans was astounded by how rude people on Berk were. A sniff of disgust alerted him to the presence of the Duke, who had a handkerchief to his nose. The old man eyed everyone in disgust, but still sat down to retrieve some fish. Hans watched the Duke's eyes widen in shock, the old man apparently never expected savage food to taste so good.

"…you should have seen him, he was all, don't touch me I am the Duke!" Gobber was saying.

Hans missed most of the conservation between the two large Vikings. He saw the Duke flush in embarrassment, and glare at the blonde Viking. The two large Vikings threw back their heads in loud laughter, and the Duke flushed a darker shade of red. Hiccup rolled his eyes, and gave an apologetic look in their direction. After dinner, Gobber got up, and dragged the Duke back to his forge. The sight of the Duke reprimanding the huge blonde Viking for touching him, almost made Hans burst out in laughter.

"It's getting late, we should head to bed." Stoick told everyone.

Hans went up the stairs to Hiccup's room, while Hiccup and Stoick stayed downstairs and cleaned up.

"Dad, where is the shark skin I was using?"

"Traded it to Sven, his got ruined, so we exchanged some goods."

"What did you get for it?"

"I got a polar bear skin, Sven got it from Trader Johan, who got it from some culture in the artic, so on and so forth."

Hans peeked out from the top of the floor, and saw Stoick presenting Hiccup with a white piece of fur.

"That looks like the cloak I got that one time, from that guy who tried to get you know who."

"It does, doesn't it?" Stoick said. "Well, that is your bed tonight, try and get some shut eye."

Stoick sat in his chair, and promptly fell asleep. Hans groaned in annoyance, he would not be getting a good night's sleep tonight either. Hiccup placed the skin on the floor, and laid on top of it, soon he too was asleep. Hans let out an annoyed sigh, and headed back to Hiccup's window. He ignored the snoring while he mentally spent another night laying his plans in place. He drifted off to sleep with his plans laid out in my mind.

The next day Hans woke up to the door slamming open. He heard Stoick talking to someone, and then the sound of the Chief and the other person leaving. As Hans made his way down the stairs, he spotted Hiccup rubbing his eyes. Once the teen was more awake, he tore out of his bed, and left the house as well. Sensing something was up, Hans walked down the stairs, and out of the house at a slower pace.

"Dad!" Hiccup called. "What's going on?"

Hans got closer to them, and saw a group of Vikings gathering around their Chief. People were asking questions, and Stoick took the questions one at a time. He waved when Viking away to talk to his son.

"One of our allies have been attacked, we must for to their aid." Stoick told him. "I am taking some of my men with me; I am leaving you in charge."

"Dad, are you crazy?" Hiccup replied. "I can't take care of a whole village, I…"

"You will do good son." Stoick cut him off.

"Are you not hearing me?" Hiccup said.

"Listen up; I am leaving Hiccup in charge while I handle the situation with our allies. My brother is coming with me, so Astrid will be his second in command." Stoick announced.

"Dad, I'll fail, I don't have what it takes to be a Chief." Hiccup tried to protest.

"I'll be back, maybe." Stoick said.

"I'll be here, maybe." Hiccup said in defeat.

Stoick left, and took the majority of the Vikings with him. Most of those left behind were the ones that were missing limbs, the children, and the elderly. Hans watched the proceedings with interest. He had only been in the village for two days, and already things were going his way.

Soon, the Viking Prince will be mine!

In Arendelle

Anna and Elsa were having breakfast together again. Elsa had the day off, while one of her advisors would fill in for her. It was her advisor, who insisted, because they had seen Anna so lonely so they insisted that the sisters spent time together. Kristoff was still gone, and only Elsa knew why. Kristoff wanted to make the engagement ring for Anna himself, and he wanted it to be a surprise. He traveled further away, because he did not want news to get back to Anna, and spoil the surprise.

"What do you want to do today?" Elsa asked.

"I don't know, what do you want to do?" Anna asked.

"Well, we could go out to the village to shop, or stay at the castle." Elsa replied.

"Hmm." Anna began. "Do you want to see a play?"

"A play?" Elsa asked. "I did not know there were any plays going on."

"You'll love it." Anna told her, grabbing her arm. "It's actually about us, can you believe it, they would be so happy to see us watching it. I think they open today, let's go!"

Anna dragged her sister out of the castle, and down to a building that would put on the play. When they walked through the doors to enter the building, they were greeted by the doormen, who bowed to them. Elsa went to pay for tickets, but she was waved away, the Queen and the Princess did not have to pay to see the play. The two sisters were led up the stairs, to a private viewing area. Anna had to crane her neck to see the actors and the actresses.

"Oh look, there's us!" Anna exclaimed.

Elsa looked down, and saw the actresses that would play Anna and herself. The actress playing her had a white powdered wig. The actress for Anna had auburn hair, and a piece of white yarn was tied into her hair. Despite them not having the right hair color, and a wig, the actresses impressed Elsa. They wore very close duplicates of the dresses Elsa and Anna wore during their journey. They also looked a bit like Elsa and her sister. Elsa leaned back to watch the play, Anna was more into it then she was, but is still an impressive play.

Anna cried at some parts, and cheered at some others, especially when her actress punched out the actor of Hans at the end of the play. Elsa noticed they took some liberties with everything the happened, since they were not there, but they portrayed the sisters very well.

"That was so amazing!" Anna exclaimed.

The two sisters were leaving their seats, and getting ready to leave, but Elsa stopped short.

"Want to meet the actresses and the actors?"

"Yes!"

The two sisters met with the cast, who were overwhelmed by the fact that the Queen had come to watch them. They gave the sisters tons of gifts, and were in complete awe of both of them. After spending almost an hour with the cast members, the sisters left to get some chocolate, and to do some shopping.

"Nothing can go wrong, as long as we have each other." Anna told her sister.

"Nope, we can get through everything together." Elsa replied.

Anna would always have Elsa, nothing would ever separate them.

"Yeah, together."

TO BE CONTINUED…

Note: The polar bear skin was reference to one of the Httyd comics, which is called Ice Castle, where Hiccup is given a cloak that appears to be made from polar bear skin or some other animal. Also, they are from a timeline where they would probably not be too knowledgeable about animals that were not native to their areas. In the story, the in the story villain is after Stormfly, but I did not have them say the name, since Hiccup would not be completely open to reveal dragons to strangers. I decided to split the time between Arendelle in Berk, because it has been brought to my attention that my chapters I post on fanfiction get rid of the spaces I put for the two parts. Thank you for reading!
