It was that day again, the day where all royal duties were thrown on the wind as the sun rose. Merida rose bright and early, eager to enjoy the day. She practically danced out of the castle and leapt onto Angus before he galloped off. She let out a whoop as they raced through her archery practise, hitting each target with ease. She let out another whoop as her arrow embedded itself in the last target. She spurred Angus on, the two tearing through the trees, hair flying in the wind. She and Angus paused for a quick breakfast before taking off again. Their destination, the cliffs, and upon arrival, Merida began to climb. Upon reaching the top, she drank from the waterfall before sitting down to carve on her bow. The carving began to look like a Celtic dragon when a sharp sound echoed through the air, causing her to glance up. A black figure was swooping in towards her position. She let out a squeal and waited for the figure to get closer before closing her eyes, and dropping off the cliff. The air blew all around her as she fell, until she was caught by a pair of arms.
The visor went up, "What were you thinking, Merida?" Merida just kissed him.
"I fell in love," she smirked.
"Ha ha, less literal and more figurative next time please."
"What? I knew you'd catch me."
"Only because I was having a heart attack!" She kissed him again.
"Sorry."
"No you're not."
"Mm, maybe," she smirked before they went in for another kiss. Toothless interrupted the moment with a garble.
Hiccup sighed, "Alright, alright, we'll land." They landed near Angus, and Merida led the way towards the river where she caught fish for Toothless. With their pets happy, both rolling in the grass, Merida and Hiccup could sit back and enjoy the day.
