The Big Four: Drabbles and One-shots

Notes: Anciet Greece AU! Slave!Jack and Slave!Rapunzel. HiJack and Meripunzel with hinted Jarida and Hiccunzel. Hiccup is his HTTYD2 self and Rapunzel's hair reaches her ankles when loose, and when braided, it can reach anywhere between her mid-calf and knee. Their all human, but Jack looks like his spirit self. Hiccup's mother is alive, but she's called Val, mostly because I can't remember her name to well, and I like the way it sounds.

Summary: Merida Dun Broch and Henrik Haddock III, better known as Hiccup, had always been best friends. When they're parents give them each a slave, they had no idea what could blossom inbetween them. Merida receives a girl about a year younger than her with golden hair and emerald eyes and Hiccup gets a boy a year younger than him with white hair and ice colored eyes.

Slavery part 1

They had met as children.

She had the spirit of Artemis, a true huntress and warriess among her family. Her hair a flame of red and her eyes as clear as the summer sky.

He was a Hephaestus among them, a blacksmith worthy of the Gods themselves. His hair an auburn-brown, his eyes like the leaves of a forest before the autumn calls.

"Henrik!"

"Merida!"

They ran towards their homes, their parents awaiting them with a big surprise.

"We are so happy for ye!" Elinor said as she hugged her daughter, "yer finally going to learn to be responsible!"

"Muuuuuuuuum!" Merida whined as her mother fussed with her untameable locks. Huffing, she gave up and ushered her daughter into her room.

"Get cleaned up, we are meeting yer fathers at the market!"

Hiccup looked at his mother and she motioned towards his soothed clothing, "Change."

Hiccup sighed and nodded. On his way, he patted Toothless, his stallion.

Neither knew why they had to go to market. The only place that was really bumbling was the...

slave auctions...

Merida and Hiccup came out, both wearing green clothing, though Merida's was a dark green while Hiccup's was olive green.

Merida had also put a headband into her redlocks. Both were sandals. Nodding their approval, Val and Elinor led them into the market and towards the slave auctions...

"Mum...is this what ye meant by..." Merida hesitated, "responsible?"

"Aye," Elinor said, "it it. You're both getting a slave to call your own. They're your responsibilty. They need care and attention-"

"Like Toothless..."

"-they're gonna need a place to stay-"

"Like Toothless..."

"-they'll need to disciplined."

"Like Merida-OW!"

Hiccup rubbed the back of his head where Merida had hit him. He glared at her and she stuck her tongue out just as their fathers walked over.

"Okay," Fergus said, "let's go."

They walked towards the front of the crowd. They weren't surprised to see children amongst the people there. The youngest there seemed to be a girl who was about two years old. She had blonde hair and emerald green eyes. The boy next to her had brown hair and eyes. Both looked frightened as they looked back at the crowd before them.

"Mum," Merida whispered to her mother, "is this really necessary?"

Elinor nodded as a man walked up to the platform where the slaves to be sold stood.

"First up we have this girl," He dragged the two year old girl away from the boy. But she put up a fight, trying to stay by his side. When they were finally pried apart, the girl let out a wail and began to struggle in the man's grasp. The man grunted everytime she managed to hit him, and he was really getting pissed off.

"Alright you little-"

"WE'LL TAKE HER!" A familiar voice yelled. It was Astrid's mother. Astrid stood next to her, her blond hair braided as always.

The little girl's eyes widened and she managed to get out of the man's grip. She ran over to the boy she had been holding onto and clung onto him again.

"Let go kid." The man sneered down at the eight year old boy.

The boy glared at him and said, "No."

The man glared back and took hold of the girl. Neither child budged, and it was getting on his last nerve, "Fine. You want to be like that, fine."

He reached towards his whip, raised it up and

CRACK!

The children flinched, but opened their eyes upon finding they were both fine. They looked up, and saw another boy, this one about sixteen years of age leaning over them. He had ice blue eyes and hair white than snow. He was pale.

The man sneered down at him, enraged that a mere slave boy had gone out of his way to save the brats.

"The girl was bought, she has to-"

"We'll be taking both children." Astrid's mother spoke up again.

The children looked at the boy in front of them.

The brunette tugged on his kilt.

The white haired boy looked down at him and responded with a hum.

"I'm scared..." the boy admitted to the other.

"Hey," the white-haired boy smiled down at them, "you don't have to be afraid. I'm sure that that lady is very nice, and if she isn't..." he leaned in closer and whispered, "when you're old enough to, come look for me. My name is Jack. Jack Frost."

"I'm Jamie, and this is Sophia*, I call her Sophie, she's my little sister."

Jack gasped dramatically as he straightened up. He turned to the man with a look of mocked shock on his face, "You dare whip a child of Wisdom?!* FOR SHAME!"

He dramatically lifted a hand to his forehead and shook his head in mock disappointment, getting the other slaves to laugh a bit. Smiling, he pushed the two children forwards.

Astrid smiled as she walked over, "I'm Astrid. Astrid Hofferson."

"I'm Jamie, and this is Sophie, my little sister." Jamie spoke softly.

"Your...oh...so that's why-"

"She didn't want to leave his side." Jack finished, "I know how she feels..." With a sad smile, he waved the two kids and Astrid off and walked over to a girl with extremely long, blond, hair.

She smiled at him, "I know you miss Chara* Jack, but I'm sure someday you'll be together again."

"Thanks Punzie."

Rapunzel Corona nodded towards her friend. She remembered what happened that day many years ago. She knew how much it hurt Jack. They've been friends since they met. He helped her out when the other slaves picked on her for her long hair and tendacy to do art or sing wherever and whenever she could.

"Next to be sold..." the man continued.

Merida glared at the man. He would hurt a child?! She wasn't even older than two! She looked at her parents, and saw just as enraged faces. In her household, it was forbidden to hit a slave, especially if they were a child. The same applied to many families, including the Haddocks, Hoffersons, and Arendelles.

"Can you believe it?" She heard a female voice ask. She turned and saw Elsa Arendelle, along with her younger sister Anna, and their slaves, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven.

"Are ye here for more...slaves?"

"No," Anna replied, "just came to see who'd we be seeing soon. You know, all slaves that aren't sold here, end up going to another place to be sold along with others who haven't been sold yet or have yet to be put on sale?"

Merida didn't know that, she'd never come before.

"Rea-"

"This next girl will make you the finests meals, she can sing your children to sleep, and she's quite the beauty."

Merida looked up and gasped in silent awe. The girl had long, extremely long, blond hair. It reached her ankles in a waterfall of gold. Her eyes reminded her of grass on a fresh, spring, morning. She was a true Aphrodite. She didn't hesitate to lift her arm up, "I'LL TAKE HER! I'LL PAY ANY PRICE!"

Everyone gasped. They couldn't compete with that. The Dun Brochs were very wealthy.

Smiling, Merida walked over to the girl, noticing she waved to the white haired boy. He waved back and stared at Merida. He pointed over to a pail and Merida rolled her eyes, but smiled at him.

"I'm Rapunzel Miss-"

"Merida is fine. And can I call ye Punzie?"

Rapunzel gasped, and Merida thought she had said something wrong until Rapunzel spoke again, "Jack would always call me Punzie..."

"Jack?"

"The white haired boy who took the blow for Jamie and Sophie."

"Oh..."

There was only five slaves yet, and Hiccup still couldn't decide which to pick. Merida had chosen a girl with really long golden hair. Said her name was Punzie or something like that.

"Dad," he sighed, turning to his father, "I'm not going to find a slave. Let's just-"

"This boy will give you trouble. He's rebellious, but he's fast on his feet. So, if you care to buy him, whip 'im into shape and he'll make a good delivery boy."

Hiccup looked up and saw the white haired boy.

His eyes reminded him of ice, his skin and hair of snow, and his legs looked like they were made by the wind just so that he could run fast.

Everyone was quiet, not wanting the mischievious boy as a servant of any kind.

"Looks like you're outta-"

"I'll take him." Hiccup spoke up.

His parents looked at him.

"Hiccup," Val said, "are you-"

"I said. I. Will. Take. Him."

He was determined to make that boy his, but he didn't know why. There was just something about him that made him special to Hiccup.

Hiccup walked over to the platform and smiled at the white haired boy, glad to see that he was a good four inches taller than him.

"I'm Henrik, but everyone calls me Hiccup."

The boy looked at him, eyes wide, eyebrows shot up, "Hiccup? Okay, I guess...My name is Jack Frost Master Hiccup."

"Just Hiccup."

Jack smiled and nodded.

Rapunzel squealed and ran over to them, dragging Merida with her. She threw her arms around both males, while at the same time, throwing Merida around, so that it would look like the four were hugging. How she managed to do that was surprising, "I just know the four of us will be the best of friends!"

Kura: Review.

*Sophie, Sonia, etc. are all the same in one thing. They come from Sophia, the Greek word for wisdom. So when the nameless man goes to hit Sophie, Jack says he's about to hit Wisdom, a kind of play on words on Sophie's name.

*Chara is a Greek girl's name. It means joyful. I chose this to be Jack sister's name. What happened to her will come in part 2.

Sakura: Review. Up next, Turkey or Ham part 3.
