Chapter 12: A Marriage Denied and Approved
Hiccup's POV
I stood in awe as we sailed into across the reef. The island of Motunui was beautiful. A true paradise.
"See, I told you." Merida said.
I looked over at Elsa and Anna. They were just as speechless.
Moana looked on the shore. Two people were running to the boat.
"Mom! Dad!" She shouted.
We pulled the boat in. Moana jumped off and hugged Moana. We jumped off and watched the reunion.
Moana's Dad looked over at us.
"You." He said as he pointed at Jack.
Jack looked at Elsa nervously and walked up to Moana's dad.
"Did you bring the ten cows for my daughters' hand in marriage?" He asked.
"WHAT?!" Elsa screamed. It took all of us to keep her from attacking Jack.
"I unfortunately did not. You see, I misheard what you said about the cows. I was so concerned about that girl there, I was willing to do anything to get you to let us leave. So, I withdraw my claim for Moana's hand."
Elsa finally calmed down. "Awe!"
"But I will claim her."
We looked up to see Jim jump down and walk towards Moana's Dad.
"Chief Tui. I am Jim Hawkins from Corona. I have fought side by side with your daughter, protected your daughter, and fell in love with her. I do not wish to marry her now, but maybe someday, when the time is right."
"Is that so?"
We all looked where the voice come from. A strong man came stopping over.
"I am Kahioen, Chief's son of the island Tetiaroa, I have already bought this girl. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking her to my home, so I can marry her."
"Bought her?" I said. "Now wait a minute."
Before I could do anything, Jim slugged Kahioen in the jaw. He fell over and smiled.
"Moana is NOT property you can just buy." Jim said.
Kahioen lunged at Jim, knocking him to the ground.
"Kahioen, no!" Moana shouted.
Kahioen tried hitting Jim with an axe of some kind. Jim grabbed a stick and blocked it. He then threw Kahioen back.
"I will not let you take her from her family." Jim said.
Kahioen grabbed a dagger and went to stab him. Jim held him back.
"Moana is mine!" Kahioen shouted as he fought to kill Jim.
"Dad, do something!" Moana said to Chief Tui.
"I can't. Kahioen said he had to be the only competitor for you." Chief Tui said.
"Well in that case." Jack then rolled up his sleeves and handed Elsa his staff. Then he ran over and slammed into Kahioen.
Kahioen flew off and looked around wildly. Jack then got Jim up and faced him.
"If you want to get to him or Moana. You're going to have to go through me." Jack said.
"And me." I said as I stood with Jack.
Just then a hawk flew over. Then Maui landed right in front of us.
"And me!"
Kahioen looked confused. "What. How?"
"It's time for you to leave, Kahioen." Chief Tui said.
Kahioen shook his head. "Fine. I don't want your stupid daughter."
He turned away and stormed off to his boat.
Maui laughed. "Man, did you see his face!"
I walked up to Chief Tui. "Chief Tui. It is an honor to meet you. Merida, Jack and Rapunzel told me how beautiful this island was."
"Thank you. You must be the friend they needed to save."
"I need to ask you for two favors. One is we need a ship."
"We have plenty of boats for you."
"Actually, we need a boat that we're used to."
I opened Toothless's bag and pulled out a booklet. I opened it up to show the design of the transport.
"Do you always carry that around?" Jack asked.
"Yeah. I designed it."
Chief Tui looked over the design of the transport. "If you help us. We could have this build in two days."
"Excellent." I said.
"And what was the second favor?" Chief Tui asked.
"Merida and I would like to have our wedding here."
…
Two Days Later
Merida's POV
I looked down at the wedding gown they gave me. My belly was showing. I kept trying to cover it up.
The new transport was ready. We worked nonstop on it till it was complete. Now the only thing we had to do was get married.
Just then, Rapunzel came in.
"Blondie! What are you doing!?" I said as I grabbed a blanket and covered myself.
"Merida, what's taking so long? We're waiting. And please don't tell me you going to get married in a blanket."
I sighed. "I need a different dress. This one is too…revealing." I said as I dropped the blanket.
Rapunzel gasped. "Merida, you look beautiful."
"I'm missing the pat that covers the belly!" I shouted.
Rapunzel nodded. "Yeah, that could be a problem. Wait, I got just the thing."
She walked out the doorway. Suddenly Elsa came in.
"Here, this should spice things up." She said.
She coasted her magic at me. I looked down to see a beautiful white dress.
"Oh Elsa. It's beautiful. Thank you." I gave her a hug.
"You're welcome. Now let get out there and get you married. Everyone is waiting."
Rapunzel and Anna came in. We linked arms and walked out the door. By the beach stood Hiccup in his chief attire with a fur cloak and Viking helmet. I smiled at him. I was about to marry the man of my dreams
…
Hiccup's POV
The wedding was beautiful. Merida was beautiful. The people danced and celebrated. Then I nodded at Jack. He nodded back. He made a guitar. He started playing a few notes. The musicians played along with him.
Merida stood in the middle of the dance floor. I started to whistle a song that is too familiar. Merida smiled. I took her hand.
I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With never fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me
No scorching sun or freezing cold
Will stop me on my journey
If you will promise me your heart
And love…
Merida turned to me and started to sing.
And love me for eternity
My dearest one, my darling dear
Your mighty words astound me
But I have no need of mighty deeds
When I feel your arms around me
But I will give you rings of gold
I'd even sing you poetry
I would be keep you from all harm
If you would stay beside me
I have no use for rings of gold
I care not for your poetry
I only want you hand to hold
I only want you near me
To love and kiss and sweetly hold
For the dancing and the dreaming
Through all life's sorrows and delights
I'll keep your laugh inside me
I'll swim and sail a savage seas
With never fear of drowning
I'd gladly ride the waves so white
And you will marry me!
I picked up Merida and spun her around. The people cheered.
I grabbed her hand and we ran over to Toothless. We jumped on and flew off. We flew above the clouds and over the sea.
Merida wrapped her arms around me.
"I love you, Hiccup Haddock.
"And I love you, Merida Haddock."
…
Jack's POV
Elsa and I sat on the beach watching the sun set. She laid her head on my shoulder.
"I wouldn't trade this for anything." She said.
"I agree."
Just then Toothless landed next us. Hiccup and Merida got off him.
"Are we ready to go?" Hiccup asked.
"Yes, it's time to go home." Elsa said.
We got Rapunzel and Anna. We then got ready to leave.
"Wait!"
We looked to see Moana, Jim and Maui and running over to us.
I jumped off transport and hugged Moana.
"Don't forget us." She whispered.
"I would never forget you." I said.
The others said their goodbyes and we pushed the transport into the ocean.
As Tangaroa promised, the water current took the controls and started to guide the ship.
We cheered as we were on our way home.
When the course is laid and the anchor's weighed,
A sailor's blood begins racing.
With our hearts unbound and our flag unfurled,
We're underway and off to see the world!
Underway and off to see the world!
Hey, ho, we'll go anywhere the wind is blowing
Manly men are we!
Hey!
Sailing for adventure on the deep blue sea.
Danger walks the deck; we say what the heck
We laugh at the perils we're facing
Every storm we ride is its own reward
And people die by falling overboard!
People die by falling overboard!
Wait what!?
Hey, ho, we'll go anywhere the wind is blowing
Hoist the sails and sing!
Sailing for adventure on the big blue sea.
It's a good life on a boat!
There are distant lands with burning sands
That call across the ocean
There are beautiful skies every fun-filled day
And adventure on the midnight wave!
Adventure on the midnight wave!
Hey, ho, we'll go anywhere the wind is blowing!
Should be an easy way!
Sailing for adventure on the bounding main!
The salty breezes whisper; who knows what lies ahead?
We just know we were born to lead the life our fathers led!
The stars will be our compass, wherever we may roam
And our mates will always be just like our family
And though we may put into port, the sea is always home!
We'll chase our dreams standing on our own,
Over the horizon to the great unknown!
Hey, ho, we'll go anywhere the wind is blowing!
Bold and brave and free
Sailing for adventure
Sailing for adventure
Sailing for adventure
On the deep blue sea!
The sun set, and we watched as we sailed on.
Mericcup Wedding!
