Chapter 3: Reunion

''Merida?...''

Merida did this guy know her name?His voice sounded familiar though. His eyes were familiar too. Those green eyes,she just knew she had seen them before. Then a thought struck her like lightning…

''Hiccup?...'' Her eyes widened slightly when he knew that face. She had seen it atleast a dozen times before. This really was Hiccup. She walked towards him slowly and then did something nobody expected to happen all of a sudden. She hugged him.

They stood there for a while without even saying something until suddenly Hiccup felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and looked into Astrid's worried face. He suddenly realized he had been hugging a girl Astrid didn't probably thought they were in love or something.

''Oh,uh,this isn't what it looks like'' He and Merida quickly stopped hugging. ''This is Merida. She's my childhood best friend. We just haven't seen eachother for a very long time.''

Merida smiled awkwardly at Astrid. ''Hey there.'' Then Astrid said what everyone had been wondering the entire time. ''But she's scottish. Then how are you two friends?''

''Well,our fathers were best friends since childhood too. Me and dad visited Merida and her family every year during winter, when the dragons were gone for a while. But ten years ago my dad and her dad got into a fight. Dad never told me what their fight was about but after that moment the scottish kingdom was forbidden territory. And we haven't seen eachother ever since.'' Said Hiccup.

The others had been listening tot he story quietly. Well…the twins were punching eachother out of boredom but that was quiet in their case.

Merida looked at Hiccup. ''Now we're talking about our dads anyway: Dad didn't give much information either. But I did get some information a few years ago. I found a letter in his room but I didn't get the chance to read it. We're – '' All of a sudden she got interrupted.

''Oh,yes ofcourse!You found a letter but you didn't get the chance of reading had it but you just put it back instead of taking it with you and reading it when you could!'' said Snotlout.

If looks could kill,Snotlout would be dead right now. Merida and Astrid sure had some things in common,including the angry glares.

''Listen you numptie, If you would have a brain you would've known that my dad would have noticed it if that letter would be missing. So just let me continue my story before I show you what my bow can do.'' Said Merida. Astrid smiled. ''Great threat. If he says another thing I will gladly help you with my axe.''

''Shut up Astrid'' mumbled Snotlout.

Merida continued talking. ''So before I was rudely interupted, I was going to say that me and my family are staying in a camp a few miles south of here. In the forest. We're out camping but we're going home this evening. If you wait here,however, I can get back on Angus tomorrow evening with that letter. It's the only way to find out what our dads were fighting about.''

''Great plan. We will see you tomorrow evening then.'' Said Hiccup. Merida smiled and gave Hiccup a quick last hug before climbing on Angus and riding back south,through the forest.

The dragonriders were camping out in the forest that night. They woke up the next morning. After a quick breakfast,which was just some fish they cooked above the fire they made and some raw fish for the dragons, they waited for Merida to arrive.

When it was starting to get dark they heard a horse getting closer. Just seconds later Merida jumped off Angus. She was holding a letter and opened it. ''I've got it! Okay,I'm gonna read it now so listen because I'm not gonna repeat myself.''

''Wait what? What did she say?We weren't listening.'' Said Tuffnut. Merida facepalmed and looked at Hiccup. ''Is this normal for them?'' Hiccup nodded. Merida sighed and then opened her mouth. Before she could speak however a dragon root arrow came shooting through the air,missing Toothless by just an inch.

A big group of dragonhunters were standing in front of the dragonhunter tunnel and they were all aiming their bows with dragonroot arrows at them and their dragons. The leader of the group spoke.

''Ah,look who we have here?The dragonriders and a princess. The boss will like this for sure…''

Decided to quit here. I didn't let Merida read the letter before the coming of the dragonhunters because I don't know the reason of Fergus and Stoick's fight yet myself. I need a bit of time to decide it. I could really and I mean REALLY use suggestions about the rest of the plot would you like to read in the next chapters?What do you want the fight to be about?Anything,it doesn't give a suggestion and as long as it makes sense and I like the idea then I just write it down and I will even give you credit for the idea at the start of the chapter. See you in the next chapter!
