I haven't added in a disclaimer in awhile, so I think its best that you all know I don't own anything. The characters does not belong to me. Although this specific story line I've put the in happens to be mine. There are 1 or 2, okay maybe a few errors, but I tried my best to clean it up.

It was one of those rare moments every person has that you have no control over. When they say your body moves on its own or when you blackout and once you open your eyes you're in a startling and confusing situation. Your brain tries to rationalize the pieces of a puzzle in hopes of putting them together. Trying desperately to make sense.

And it didn't take Hiccup long to access the situation after coming down from the high. He never imagined he would hit someone, but there he was standing over Colin. It was so unexpected. He was positive Colin sure didn't expected, and apparently neither did Flynn, certainly not the two boys Colin had brought for backup, and the few other people standing by were positively stunned.

"Dude…what…I mean…you actually…what?" Flynn said running towards him.

"I think I should leave."

Flynn just nodded his head while his arms were crossed. In a state of pure happiness. Then he began to look around and noticed the tons of people staring. "That's an amazing decision really."

"HICCUP!" Came a shout.

Flynn and Hiccup both turned to see Merida running in their direction.

"Merida?" Hiccup breathe.

"Ummm and Merida's parents." Flynn said seeing their faces.

Hiccup turned to leave. He couldn't handle seeing Merida's face. At least not right now.

(0.0)

Did Merida just see what she think she saw. Had Hiccup really hit Colin. Maybe she was imagining it, it might have been her subconscious fulfilling her desire to see Colin be knocked out. She did think about it a lot, but she never thought Hiccup would be the one deal the blow.

If she needed any verification that it was in fact real and she wasn't dreaming, her mother's disapproving shriek was always reassuring.

"My heavens." Came Elinor's voice.

"Oh. Well look at that." Came her fathers voice.

At this point it was obvious a fight would break out as soon as Colin got back up, and even if he took his time with that process, Colin had brought along the Stabbington brothers. Two boys made of pure muscle and not afraid to draw blood.

"Hiccup." Merida called as she ran in his direction.

"Hiccup?" she heard her mother say in disapproval.

Fergus didn't say anything but nodded. He very slowly made his way in the direction in an attempt to stop the boys.

But Merida didn't have time to worry about that.

Hiccup wasn't the type to just hit someone, she was positive of that. Colin must have said something or did something. She didn't know what it was, but he must be hurting. She needed to talk to him.

"Hiccup." She called again but he was starting to walk away.

She noticed Flynn holding off the Stabbington brothers, who might as well have been called Colin's lackey's, while the guy himself was raging mad that Hiccup got the drop on him. Any other time she would have went to fight by his side, but Jack was running on the scene with cotton in his hands alongside a frantic Punzie wielding a frying pan.

Questions for another time.

She had to fight her way through people and Hiccup didn't seem interested in stopping at all, he never broke his stride. It almost seemed like he was speeding up.

She finally managed to catch his arm when they neared the parking lot.

"What's with you? Didn't you hear me calling your name?" She said between breaths tired from the game of catch up. "What happened? Talk to me."

"Well Merida I don't know."

Merida's eyes widen with shock at the tone of his voice.

"Just tell me what happen?"

"How come you didn't tell me about your dad."

"About my…dad? What does he…"

"Yeah. No wait, I'm sorry most people know him as the police commissioner, all except me."

"Hiccup…"

"Merida why did you lie?"

"I…I didn't lie...exactly. Just calm down and let me explain."

"Exactly? Then explain why you would leave out key details about your life. Did you forget to mention it on accident? In that case you also forgot to mention that the ranch your mom "works" at is actually owned by your family.

"Hiccup I was going to tell you."

"When Merida? When your parents make you? Like when they made you introduce me to them."

"They didn't make me. I had every intention of introducing them to you, just not this soon."

"Merida we've been dating for months, and you didn't even tell your parents about me. Colin did."

"But I was…"

"Then why didn't you? Why did you have to be forced?"

"Don't say forced. I just wanted them to like you as much as I like you."

"It doesn't sound like you like me very much. You're keeping so much from me and I had to find out from Colin. Colin Merida."

"Well I'm sorry you had to find out that way, but I really do like you. I was just worried because…because-."

"Because we're different. I'm not stupid Merida. I know we come from two different worlds and I'm not the type of guy you're use to dating. You didn't want some guy like me meeting your family."

"Hiccup stop…"

"And I don't blame you. Everything Colin said about me was true. I'd be embarrassed to be seen with a hiccup."

"I was never embarrassed to be seen with you because there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I wanted to tell you everything…I-"

"Merida." Hiccup said softly. "I…don't think we should talk about this anymore."

"What are you saying?"

"…For now I should…I think I should leave."

"Please don't." Merida said grabbing his arm. "Just listen to me and let me explain."

"I think I should clear my head first and just go home."

"You're seriously not going to hear me out."

"Merida I don't know what else there is to say right now."

"I messed up okay, and I'm sorry. But just talk to me, so we can work this out."

"…."

"Merida!" came Elinor voice, disrupting their atmosphere. "Merida!" she called again furious.

"I should leave." Hiccup said.

"Can we talk later? Will you call me tonight? Please."

"…"

"Come on Hiccup."

"…okay."

"Promise?"

"Promise Merida bye." Hiccup nodded and started walking towards home.

Elinor quickly walked to her daughter grabbing her by the arm.

"Merida Caci Aila DunBroch you stop right now." Elinor said in full accent. "What is the meaning of this."

"Not now mother, I have to go figure out what happened." She said heading back in the direction of the festival.

"You will do no such thing young lady." Elinor said grabbing her firmly by the arm. "Come with me I'm having your father take you home right away."

"No. I can't leave yet." Merida said breaking away. "I need to find out what happened."

"Your father is already handling the situation. I mean honestly Merida what was that child thinking."

"It wasn't Hiccup's fault…"

"Hiccup." Elinor said exasperated. "Merida I don't want you hanging out with such a violent person."

"Violent? Hiccup is far from violent mother."

"Merida my eyes to do not deceive me, and I am certain I saw him raise his hand against Colin."

"And? So what? I know Hiccup and he wouldn't just do something like that."

"And yet he did."

"Colin must have said something to him or about him. He was obviously provoked."

"That is no exception. Violence is never the answer."

"But mother…"

"Merida." Elinor said in an even tone. "That is enough. You are to head back home and we will discuss this later. Do I make myself clear?"

"Why do people insist on not listening to me?"

"Do. I. Make. Meself. Clear."

"Crystal." Merida said sarcastically.

Merida wanted to pull her hair out.

"How could things have gone so wrong." She thought.

Her mother was furious absolutely livid. According to her Hiccup had almost single handedly ruined the Celebration Festival.

"She's so overdramatic. He didn't do anything wrong if you asked me. So he punched Colin in his face, he probably did everyone there a favor. And now she doesn't even want to give Hiccup a chance, doesn't want me associating with someone potentially dangerous."

She rolled her eyes at the thought of Hiccup even being considered dangerous. She looked down to check her phone, still no call and it had been hours.

"To make matters worse Hiccup seemed super mad at me. So I might have left some things out but I didn't tell him cause I didn't want him to see me any differently. I wanted him to succeed with my parents, and now everything has gone down the crapper."

Still no call. Merida threw her head back aggravated at herself and decided to dial his number.

Ring.

Ring.

Ring.

Ring.

"Hey…"

"Hiccup finally I…"

"its Hiccup. Sorry I couldn't answer the phone.- Toothless put that down-Uhhh leave me a message and I'll call you when I can."

Beep.

"Hiccup. Hey. Its me. Merida. I've been trying to get in touch with since you left the festival. I'm not sure if you saw my text or not, I just wanted to check and make sure everything was okay. Call me."

She hung up. And waited. And waited for him to call her back but he didn't. And to make matters worse it that wasn't the only message she had left him. With each message Merida's anger started to get control of her. Nothing like this had ever happened to her before.

"What the heck Hiccup. I know your upset but at least give me a chance. One little mistake and you're cutting me out. The least you could do is call me like you promised."

(0.0)

He was up all night, thinking about whether or not he should call her. He wanted to ask and confront her with the questions, but he couldn't. He couldn't hear the answers.

Dating Merida was something he fantasized about since he saw her the first day of school. She was surrounded by a group of people but stood out as her laughed echoed through the halls. After that he seemed like he was always watching her, his eyes unconsciously picking her out of the crowd.

People crowded around her desk as she told stories before class, and she wasn't afraid to say what was on her mind. It didn't matter if they were bigger or smaller, she always stood her ground especially when she was standing up for others.

Every time he decided he go up and talk to her he ended up walking past in a rush trying not to make eye contact. The first time she had actually spoken to him, which wasn't long ago, he'd been a nervous wreck.

He tripped over his own two feet and dropped all his books and papers, his schedule sailed through the air.

Everyone stared. Some slightly turning their heads as the continued on the way while took out their phones, regardless everyone got a chuckle out of it whether they laughed out loud or tried hiding it with a hand over their mouths. Merida had been the only one to help. She gathered his books and the papers and gently placed them back in his hands. "While telling everyone to 'Shut it'.

"Thanks."

"No problem." she said with a smile walking away.

Hiccup was in a daze as he watched her walk. He snapped back to attention when she turned back around after picking something off the ground.

"Hey is this yours."

"….YES. I mean yes. Thank you. You didn't have to."

"It was nothing. And we've got history together apparently so…"

"Hey Merida lets go." Called a voice.

And like that she was gone. Of course she hadn't remembered him, why would she? He wasn't…memorable.

Hiccup let out a huge groaned at the sudden hit of reality.

"Guess Colin was right. Wonder what else he might have been right about."

If he had called and Merida had confirmed everything…he couldn't take that kind of embarrassment. That amount of feeling like a loser.

"Hiccup!" came a loud sturdy voice pulling Hiccup out of his thoughts. "You've got guests."

Moments later Hiccup was surprised to see Jack walk through the door. Well not Jack it was who had followed behind Jack that had gave him a shock.

"Hey Jack. Flynn."

Flynn simply gave a head nod.

"Sup dude, your dad told me to tell you he took Toothless to pick up the vacuum. I wasn't gonna say anything but this place is getting messy."

"Thank you for that Jack. Did you come for a purpose?."

"Well we just wanted to come by, chat, maybe talk about the weather and discuss political issues." Jack said sarcastically.

Hiccup rolled his eyes.

"How badly did I screw up yesterday?"

"If you were to ask me I thought you did great. After you left me and Jack went a couple rounds with the Stabbington brothers." Said Flynn walking around looking at the details of Hiccups room. He'd heard he was an artist and an inventor but he's mind had not prepared him for what he was looking at.

Hiccup was pretty talented he thought.

"You hit them?" said Hiccup bringing Flynn back to the conversation.

"Never got a chance. Punzie started swinging a frying pan around." Jack said like it was some pivotal moment.

"Wha…?"

"Yeah and then the officers came and broke everything up. They were trying to get a story together to figure out what happened." Jack said sitting on Hiccup's bed.

"Macintosh blamed you for everything, but I said that was bullshit but I doubt they listened. Those morons never do."

"What morons?" Hiccup questioned.

"Colin's dad and few other police officers, MacGuffin and Dingwall."

"So they think I started it and hit Colin for no reason."

"And what was that reason?" Jack asked raising an eyebrow.

"Not important."

"Are you sure?" asked Flynn.

"I mean yes its important but I'd rather not get into it now."

"On the bright side Merida's dad was the one handling everything." Flynn said looking through Hiccup's room. Noticing the trinkets on the floor and the drawings on the wall. Such technic and detail he thought.

"Great. Just great, I bet he hates me now."

"Mr. DunBroch isn't that type, I'd worry about Mrs. DunBroch if anything."

"After that they sent us home. Me, Flynn, Rapunzel, The Stabbington brothers, Colin, nothing short of a police escort off the premises. But on a different note, did you talk to Merida."

"No. I can't. I kind of blew up at her and I'm afraid of what she'll say when we do talk."

"So you didn't talk to her at all."

"No Jack. I couldn't."

There was silence in the hair as the three boys looked at and around and then up air from one another.

"Well then lets go." Flynn said walking towards the door.

Hiccup laid back down. "I guess that's it."

"That means you too." Flynn said pushing him out of bed.

"Hey I'm not in the mood."

"Well get in the mood."

Jack stifled a chuckled as he thought, what an inappropriate thing to say while pushing someone around on a bed.

"Look dude due to current events I've decided to waste my time with you."

"Gee thanks."

"Meaning you're one of my boys now. And I can't just let you sit here in a room of pity and clutter, so you're coming with me and Jack to football practice."

"Are you crazy?" Hiccup asked completely serious and dumbfounded.

(0.0)

"All right boys listen up." Hiccup heard Flynn command. He had just watched them run 4 laps around the track field only to come back to the football field and do a series of warmups. "Are first game isn't too far away and we need major improvements on both the offensive and defensive line. I want..."

Hiccup zoned out. Losing all interest in the words that were being said.

'Why am I here.' He thought. This isn't helping me forget about what happened. I don't even understand why they thought this would make me feel better. I would have been better off wallowing in self-pity. But instead I'm here watching a bunch of football players crash into each other and..."

Hiccup's thoughts came to a screeching halt with the startling high pitch sound of a whistle being blown.

"Oy Vey! And ya's got the nerve to call yourselves Knights." Came an overpowering voice. Hiccups eyes searched for the source and landed on one of his fearsome foes.

Coach Phil. Not only was he the gym teacher who forced him to do the near physically impossible, at least for him, but he was also the football coach.

He was a force to be reckoned with. He liked things done a certain way and didn't settle for less. He didn't like losing, and really pushed for the best.

"Alright. Bring it in...NOW! Move it. Move it. Let's go." He said continuing to blow the whistle. "It seems you yall aren't grasping the concept of the plays." He said running his hands over his face. "Take a five and come back ready to work."

He paced back and forward, before taking off his cap and walking over to the bench where Hiccup sat.

"Beanpole? What are you doing here? I thought you traded gym for woodshop." Coach Phil asked.

"Well actually…uh Coach…"

"I don't care." He cut in. "Rider!" He yelled motioning him to come closer with his finger.

"Yes Coach." Flynn said running over.

"You said something about a solution...anytime you're ready to deliver up on that princess now would be the time, because this team is becoming a huge problem. I mean I've trained players who have gone off and made real careers by playing the game, their skills would be nothing short of godly. Godly Rider."

"I know and I've got the perfect solution. We've been looking at the team in all its glory as it was last year. You follow me?"

"Snap it up Rider, make a point."

"The team is obviously not what it was compared to last year, it's completely new and fresh different skills in varying aspects. So we need a pair of fresh eyes to look at us and change it up. Someone who knows the game and who has a keen eye for detail."

"Who'd you have in mind?"

"Hiccup." Flynn answered.

"Hiccup?" Coach Phil questioned.

"Hiccup?" Hiccup questioned joining in on the confusion.

"What's a Hiccup?" Coach Phil asked. Flynn pointed to the confused looking boy sitting on the bench near him. "You mean beanpole?"

"Beanpole." Flynn said with the smile.

"Beanpole?" Hiccup repeated again.

"Look Rider I know ya feeling desperate…"

"Hear me out Coach. Hiccup knows the game, he watches the players, he's good at putting things together. I'm sure he'd be great a developing some new runs, and what would we have to lose?"

"The game. We have the game to lose."

"At the rate we're going, we might as well. Hiccup you've been watching right, what have you've picked up?"

"Oh well. I wasn't expecting to be quizzed."

"Spit it out beanpole."

"…well the guy wearing the jersey with the double zeros…"

"Hercules." Flynn answered.

"Freshman." Coach Phil unimpressed.

"Well he should be playing wide receiver if you ask me. He's fast, quick on his feet, and he's a lot stronger than he looks. He carried both of the Gatorade dispensers."

"So?"

"So they were filled and each hold 10 gallons."

"Lets try it out." Said Flynn turning to the field.

"Are you crazy?" Coach Phil said getting red.

"I asked the same question not too long ago…and you don't care." Hiccup said turning away.

"Trust him Coach. Hercules!" Flynn called.

"Yes Captain." Hercules said running up, almost tripping but wearing a big smile on his face.

"We're trying you out in the wide receiver position."

"Really!" He said excited.

"…..Yeah." Coach Phil groaned. "Go put on a helmet."

"This is great." Hercules said picking up the coach. "I'll try my best, no wait better than my best."

"Put me down and go!"

"You got it Phil."

"That's Coach, Oy Vey. I've given up hope."

Hiccup watch as Flynn also joined Hercules on the field and gathered the other players to tell them the change of plans. Coach Phil blew the whistle and the players got into the position.

He could hear Flynn yell out at the play throwing the players into scramble. He, along with the Coach, placed his eyes on the jersey with the double zeros. He had already broken thorough the defense given Flynn a clear shot, and Flynn was good at finding an opening.

Flynn threw the ball in what Hiccup could only describe as pure perfection, he was being scouted for a reason, but what had surprised him most was Hercules.

He had actually caught the ball.

He'd caught the ball and was running. Some of the other players were dumbfounded that someone that small and gangly had made it past them, but it didn't stop Hercules.

He passed the thirty.

The twenty.

The ten.

"Well I'll be damn." Came a quiet voice in disbelief

Touchdown.

"The kid actually went the whole distance." He quickly turned around and made his way back to the bench. "I can work with this. This is good. You!" He exclaimed pointing to Hiccup.

"Yes sir."

"Name?"

"Bean…I mean Hicc…errrr. Henry Haddock sir,"

"Talk to me Haddock. Walk with me. I think you could be a very valuable addition to the team."
