Guest 1: All ashore that's going ashore! Get off ma boat! I'm kidding! Yes, Anna is a Shipper, and I'm not ashamed to admit it! :p

Edit 1/12/20: I've been getting a lot of guest reviews about Hiccup's name being Henrik. Okay, everyone in Arendelle knows him as Hiccup. His TRADER name is Henry! So when he's out delivering his swords to people outside of Arendelle, he goes by Henry!

HENRY IS HIS TRADER NAME! STOP ASKING ME ABOUT IT!

Sorry I yelled, but I have to get my point across somehow and I've had some...let's just say some guest reviewer that left some nasty remarks and it angers me. Anyways...

Let's start the story, shall we? Enjoy!

Hiccup's POV

It had been three months since the Great Thaw, and Hiccup and Elsa met. Hiccup sat on the ledge overlooking the Kingdom of Arendelle, nicknamed the "Roost" by himself. The weather began to turn colder, and the leaves on the trees had begun to turn a bright red. It was a season of change, and Hiccup was enjoying every minute of it, but not at the moment.

He had heard whispers throughout the kingdom from some northerners about a man talking about controlling dragons to stop them from raiding villages and killing people. While Hiccup thought the man had good intentions at first, the northerners had said as a caveat to saving their lives, they all had to bow down to him, and when they refused… they were killed by dragons he had controlled.

"Good dragons under the control of bad people do bad things." Hiccup thought.

Hiccup had thought he could change the man's mind, but after flying directly into a trap for wild dragons about a month earlier when he traveled to Archipelago, and meeting the man himself, Hiccup knew he couldn't change his mind.

"Either way, Drago has to be taken care of… "

A croon was heard from his dragonic friend as Hiccup scratched his neck.

"Hey, bud."

Toothless didn't come out completely unscathed from their capture, a new scar just under his chin. It could have been a lot worse had it not been for a rogue dragon rider and their Stormcutter who helped them escape. He remembered the moment they had arrived at their sanctuary.

Hiccup gasped at the size of their home.

"Wow… this… this place is amazing."

The disguised dragon rider slid down the wing of their dragon and pulled off their helmet. It was a woman with dark auburn hair with some gray mixed in. Her eyes were the same shade of green as Hiccup's.

"Do you have a name?"

Hiccup paused, not wanting to say his name, but obviously this woman lived with dragons. Perhaps she didn't know who he was, so he gave her his name.

"Yeah. I'm Hiccup. Hiccup Haddock."

The woman froze and went over to him, reaching for his chin.

"Uhh… what are you doing?"

The woman pulled back, seeing a small scar on his chin, her eyes full of tears.

"Can it be? After all these years? How is this possible?"

Hiccup pulled at the collar of his neck armor nervously.

"Uhh… should I… should I know you?"

The woman shook her head.

"No… you were only a babe… but a mother never forgets."

Hiccup was pulled out of thoughts by a screech as the Stormcutter landed behind him and Toothless, a figure sliding off it's back.

"Mom!" Hiccup called. "You made it!"

Hiccup stood up, and went over, hugging her. While he was mad at his mother for staying away so long, he had forgiven her since that day. Leaving the King of Dragons, known as a Bewilderbeast, in charge for a couple days, Hiccup and his mother had flown south to get to know each other some more, and let her see his new home. Heather had also met his mother as well and while she was mad at her the most, Hiccup talked her down, and the two were at least on speaking terms.

Valka smiled as she embraced her son.

"Did you honestly think I'd miss out on the Fall Festival?"

Hiccup released his mother and rubbed the back of his head, smirking.

"Well, you were cutting it kind of close."

Valka grabbed him by his ear and twisted it.

"Ow, ow! Okay, mom!"

Valka let go.

"I may have been absent for twenty years, but I'm still your mother."

Hiccup nodded, wincing.

"I know…"

"Come on then," Valka replied. "Cloudjumper has had a long flight, and needs his rest."

Hiccup climbed onto Toothless and launched into the sky, flying down the mountain towards his home, his mother and Cloudjumper following. Heather was there to greet them.

"Hey, Hiccup. Valka…"

Valka nodded.

"Heather. Come on, Cloudjumper."

Valka led the Stormcutter into the barn because he was too large to fit in the house. Heather turned to Hiccup.

"You invited her?"

Hiccup nodded.

"Yes, I did, Heather. She's my mother. I'm not gonna push her away. She's shown me more love in the span of a month then my father ever did in the first fifteen years of my life. Please...just get along? That's all I ask."

"... Fine…"

Hiccup sighed in relief.

"Thank you."

Heather turned to Valka, who finally settled Cloudjumper in the barn.

"I got supper ready if you're hungry?"

Valka nodded with a smile.

"I could eat. Thank you, Heather."

The three entered the house to eat. Afterwards they sat around the fireplace, swapping stories, and telling the adventures of their past before everyone went to bed. Hiccup's head hit the pillow and he sighed. His thoughts drifted to Elsa.

In the time that he knew her, he had become more open with her, telling stories of his homeland, like legends and myths. He did however leave Berk out of their conversations as well as Toothless, not really wanting to reveal that bit of information quite yet. He felt he could trust her, but wanted to wait. With another sigh, he closed his eyes and went to sleep. It was going to be a big day tomorrow.

Elsa's POV

Elsa stood on her chamber balcony, a sense of longing in her eyes, the morning autumn wind blowing through her hair which was let down loose. It had been three months since she had met Hiccup Haddock, and since then her world had been a lot less grayer.

It seemed any time she wanted to be with Hiccup, her schedule somehow magically cleared itself to allow for time with him. She suspected Anna and her Head Courtier, Kathryn, had something to do with it.

Elsa closed her eyes remembering many moments with Hiccup. Lunch together, and long walks throughout the Kingdom. Those moments gradually changed to picnics in the mountains, and walks through the Royal Gardens at night. Anna had teased her relentlessly, but seemed really happy for her.

Elsa sighed with a smile.

"Time to start the day."

Heading back inside, and shutting the door behind her, she removed her nightgown and wrapped a robe around herself, heading to her bathing chamber, finding the tub filled with warm water. Sticking her hand in the tub to test it's warmth, she removed her robe, climbed into the tub, and settled down in it.

Elsa sighed once more.

"I wonder if I can have a few moments with Hiccup today..."

As she bathed herself, she wondered if he had anymore stories to tell of his homeland. But she knew he was more than likely busy like her. The Fall Festival was usually a week long event that ended with a grand dinner to ring in the new season, but due to her storm there wasn't enough food for such a grand dinner, but the kingdom had enough to get them through to the next harvest. So instead of a week long event, she changed it to a three day event with food, wares, and a grand ball at the end. Hiccup would be selling wares that he would be making for the festival, even some toys for children who came to the festival to play games that had been set up.

"Speaking of children..." Elsa thought.

Mother Superior and the orphans had moved out of the castle three days earlier into the rebuilt orphanage, this one much bigger and stronger than the original. While she was glad the orphanage was rebuilt, she had started to miss the children, and the interactions with them.

Elsa groaned.

"Damn it… the water's gone cold."

With a sigh of exasperation, she climbed out of the tub, and began to dry herself. Once that was done, she grabbed her robe, slipping it on before ringing the bell above the door so that her servants could come in and help her dress. Like clockwork, they came in and helped her dress into a simple blue and green dress that bared her shoulders, and had lace around the edges. Her hair was tamed into a simple braid and she turned to the servants.

"Thank you. You are dismissed."

Elsa smiled and headed out the door, meeting Anna along the way.

"You're up early."

"Well, it IS the Fall Festival. I'm not gonna miss it," Anna replied. "Oh, I almost forgot! Kathryn needs to see you."

Elsa was puzzled.

"Do you know why?"

"Nope. But she said she'll find you after we start the festival. Come on!"

The two sisters stepped outside to where the guards were posted. Elsa spoke up.

"Open the gates!"

The gates to the courtyard opened up as the public came in. Elsa froze the fountains, and turned to the public.

"Let the festivities begin!"

The public went looking at the wares and Elsa spotted Hiccup through the crowd, an older dark auburn-haired woman behind him. He came over and smiled, bowing.

"Elsa, good to see you. You look... amazing..."

Elsa blushed slightly.

"Thank you, Hiccup."

Hiccup bowed once more.

"Morning, Anna."

Anna smiled.

"Good morning to you too. Who's this with you?"

Hiccup smiled.

"Ladies, may I please introduce, Valka Haddock. My mother."

Elsa and Anna's eyes widened.

"Your mother?!"

Hiccup rubbed the back of his head.

"Long story."

Valka bowed.

"A pleasure to meet you, Your Majesties."

"Likewise." replied Elsa. "I surmise Hiccup invited you?"

Valka nodded.

"Yes, and I must say you have quite a beautiful kingdom, Queen Elsa."

Elsa blushed again.

"Thank you, Mrs. Haddock."

Valka smiled.

"Please. Call me Valka. That's what everyone else does."

Elsa nodded.

"Very well. If you'll excuse me, I have to make sure everything is on track."

Valka and Hiccup bowed. With a smile, Elsa headed off to peruse the vendors. Anna came up behind her.

"So… What do you think of Hiccup's mother?"

Elsa smiled.

"She seems nice..."

"Maybe she'll be your mother-in-law..."

Elsa's brain stopped and her eye twitched.

"Anna!"

Glancing around, she pulled Anna aside, whispering, a hissing tone in her voice.

"Anna… Hiccup is just a friend… I'm not interested in him!"

Anna frowned.

"You can't deny it, Elsa! I've seen the looks."

Elsa blinked.

"There's a look?"

Anna took her sisters hands.

"Yes! You have a longingly look every morning, and every time I see you! You like him! Maybe not love him, but there's something there that you don't see!"

Elsa sighed.

"I'm sorry, Anna. But your wrong. I don't like him that way… Just as a friend…"

Anna looked down.

"... Okay..."

Elsa hugged Anna before cupping her face.

"I have to get back to work. We'll talk later. I promise."

Elsa turned and headed off, leaving Anna feeling sad.

It was later that day when Kathryn found Elsa.

"My Queen?"

Elsa looked up from the papers on her desk, taking off a pair of glasses she had to borrow from the General in order to read the trade agreement she was working on because whoever wrote it, they wrote it with very small handwriting.

"Yes, Kathryn?"

Kathryn bowed before speaking up.

"My Queen, Princess Anna wanted me to give you this."

She handed Elsa an envelope.

"It's royal invitation."

"To a kingdom?"

She flipped it over to see Anna's handwriting. It said only one word.

"Hiccup..." Elsa said with a sigh. "I'm guessing it's an invitation to the ball?"

Kathryn nodded.

"Yes, my Queen. She was going to give it to him personally, but… after your conversation today..."

Elsa pursed her lips.

"I see… Can you send her in?"

Kathryn nodded.

"Yes, my Queen."

Kathryn bowed and left Elsa's office. It wasn't until a couple minutes later that Elsa heard a knock at the door.

"Elsa?"

Elsa sighed.

"Come in, Anna..."

Anna came in, her head bowed.

"I'm in trouble… aren't I?"

Elsa shook her head as she stood up, glancing out the window.

"You… you were right, Anna. I do feel something for Hiccup… I just… I just don't know what it is... these feelings… are so… confusing… and… I'm afraid… what he doesn't feel the same way?"

Snow began to lightly fall around her as Anna came over to hug her.

"It's okay to be afraid, Elsa. But there's nothing to worry about. Hiccup likes you. I'm sure of it!"

Elsa let off a small chuckle, trying to quiet her fears.

"You sure about that? You thought Hans was an okay guy, and look how that turned out."

"That was one time." Anna replied, shrugging her sister off. "Besides, I've talked to Bulda..."

Elsa raised an eyebrow, staring at Anna with a skeptical look in her eyes.

"Kristoff's adoptive mother? Part of the so-called love experts?"

Anna smirked.

"I'll have you know they are really good at that description. Not to mention they did kind of save our lives with their advice so..."

Elsa raised her hands in surrender.

"Okay, okay. You made your point. What did you talk to her about?"

"Well… this whole thing with you and Hiccup, and she basically said men are just as complicated as we are. Just like you're figuring out your feelings, Hiccup will figure out his. It takes time, Elsa."

Elsa smiled softly and hugged her sister.

"That's just what I needed to hear. Thank you, Anna."

Anna smiled.

"So we're inviting him?"

Elsa laughed.

"Of course."

Anna smiled more than Elsa ever thought possible.

"Now there's only one thing left to do."

Elsa was puzzled.

"What's that?"

"Get you a new wardrobe!"

Elsa gulped. This wouldn't end well.

Finally the day of the ball arrived, and Elsa looked over her new dress on it's stand. It was a bright violet color with snowflakes and rosemaling mixed into it. The top was opened, allowing for her shoulders to be bare. There was also a pair of violet heels with it. Her fingers were linked together has she pondered the design.

"It feels like... it's too much."

Anna came up behind her, rubbing her shoulders.

"It's perfect for you, Elsa. Because it's a mixture. The snowflakes represent you, and your powers while the rosemaling is our heritage. Trust me. Hiccup will love this."

Elsa gently took Anna's hands.

"Thank you, Anna… I suppose I better get ready."

Anna hugged her sister, and skipped out of the room. With a sigh, Elsa began to get ready. She was going to be as confident as she possibly could. Or die trying.

Hiccup's POV

Hiccup sighed as he managed to put on a nice tunic, and pants. His hair was done up with viking braids courtesy of Heather, who during the last few days seemed very off-put and upset.

Hiccup sighed.

"Okay, you have been absolutely quiet, and silently fuming the past three days. What is eating you up?"

Heather frowned, staring at Hiccup.

"You really want to know? Fine. I'm afraid for you. You've been getting close to the Queen. Who if I remember correctly created a storm that almost killed you!"

Toothless glanced up at Heather's voice when it rose several decibels.

"And she's been trying to make up for it ever since!" Hiccup replied. "It's not her fault that she was locked up for thirteen years with no clue how to control her emotions! It was my choice to go into the orphanage to save those kids. She didn't ask me to!"

Heather had a look of rage on her face.

"Yeah because she was off creating a storm!"

Her hands clenched into fists, causing Toothless to growl protectively.

Hiccup clasped his face with his hand and sighed, releasing the grip.

"Look, I can't talk about this right now. I'm gonna be late. Mom, can you make sure Toothless doesn't kill Heather, please? I know he won't, but still..."

Valka nodded.

"Of course, son. And enjoy yourself."

"Thanks, mom."

Hiccup turned for the door then turned back to Heather.

"For the record, Heather… I do like Elsa... I don't know what I feel for her, but I do know one thing… I want to have more of it."

Hiccup put on his dress coat, and exited the house, slamming the door behind him, causing Toothless to croon with concern.

Hiccup soon arrived at the castle, handing his invitation over to the guards at the gate before heading through the courtyard into the castle. Once inside, he saw Kai guiding people into the ballroom. He smiled.

"Master Haddock. A moment if you would?"

Hiccup nodded and stepped aside to let Kai do his job before flagging Gerda down.

"Ah, Master Haddock. Good you're here. Come with me."

Hiccup was puzzled, but did so anyways.

"So… what's going on… shouldn't I be with the other guests?"

Gerda nodded.

"Yes, that would be correct. Had it not been for a special request. Normally during one of these gatherings, the Queen has the first dance. Now under normal circumstances, she would dance with one of her advisors as she's currently not courting anyone. If she was, she would be dancing with him. But she made a special request. She wants her first dance to be with you."

Hiccup froze.

"But… I don't… I don't know how to dance. And I'm just a commoner. I don't have any fancy titles or anything..."

Technically that wasn't true, but Hiccup didn't need to mention that. Gerda continued.

"Well, you obviously made enough of an impression on her."

The two stopped at the flight of the main staircase. Hiccup glanced up at the sound of footsteps, seeing Elsa step down them with the grace of an angel. Kristoff had one of his arms out, walking her down the stairs. Anna was on the other side of him, smiling. She winked at Hiccup. Hiccup suddenly had the sneaking suspicion that Anna had somehow arranged it.

Kristoff gently coughed.

"May I present to you, Queen Elsa of Arendelle."

Hiccup was gobsmacked at her beauty. Her cheeks had a dash of blush on them, and she had purple eyeshadow on, and her lips were their natural color.

Hiccup smiled.

"Elsa… you… look… beautiful… but that word fails to describe you. I don't think there's a word on Midgard that can define how beautiful you look tonight."

Elsa felt her face heat up. She felt as if she could melt and slide down the stairs.

"Thank you, Hiccup."

She gently coughed.

"Shall we?"

Hiccup held out his arm, copying Kristoff as best as he could. Elsa took his arm, and Hiccup swore she gently squeezed it, feeling the muscle underneath his dress coat. Hiccup felt his face heat up as well.

"Elsa… I… don't know how to dance."

Elsa giggled quietly.

"I've never danced either. I know how, I've just… never done it… but… follow my lead."

Soon, the two arrived at where Kai was and he stepped inside to announce them.

"Presenting Queen Elsa of Arendelle, and Master Hiccup Haddock of Arendelle!"

The door to the ballroom swung open as Elsa and Hiccup stepped inside. The band, a string quartet, started gathering their instruments. Elsa gently coughed.

"Hiccup. Left hand on my shoulder, you're right hand on my back," she whispered.

Hiccup did as told, and just in time, as the band began to play. The beat was slow at first, and began to speed up. The two seemed to effortlessly glide across the floor as the music swelled. It was as if time stood still for the two of them. The people around them seemed to vanish until it was just Hiccup and Elsa out on the floor. Feeling confident enough, Hiccup took the lead, and spun Elsa around, catching her by surprise.

As the song drew to a close, Hiccup leaned Elsa back before pulling her up. The two let go of each other. Elsa curtseyed, and Hiccup bowed, gently kissing her knuckles. The crowd seemed to cheer as Elsa blushed.

She glanced over to see Anna grinning and nearly jumping in happiness. Elsa gently coughed.

"You all may join in now."

The band began to play once more as the guests joined the two on the dance floor. Hiccup blushed and smiled once more.

"May I have the dance, Milady?"

Elsa nodded bashfully.

"You may."

The two resumed dancing, mixing into the crowd. Whatever they felt before, both of them were sure the other felt the same way. But both of them could not predict the future that was to come.

On an island far north of Arendelle in the Archipelago, shouts, and roars of dragons could be heard. Two massive dragons fought as a bearded man watched with a dragon-like grin. One of the dragons was a dark, muddy gray color with long tusks and red spikes on it's head and back while the other was a wedgwood blue color with red spikes and a peach belly. It had three pairs of eyes and a clubbed tail.

The man watched as his dragon knocked down the smaller one.

"Kill it!" the man shouted, his thick Mediterranean accent evident.

The dragon with the tusks roared and stepped back, charging forward, ramming it's tusks into the side of the other dragon, ending the battle. The man laughed darkly.

"Good...good...now..back to work, Alpha."

He pointed to the water with his bullhook, and the massive Bewilderbeast went in, sliding deep into the water.

He turned to one of his men.

"What is the status of the fleet?"

The man gulped.

"Well, we lost about 100 men, and about twenty dragons in the attack, Lord Drago."

Drago pursed his lips.

"Acceptable losses. Besides...Eret is due back with more dragons anyways. I'm sure he will deliver as promised. You are dismissed."

As the underling left, a voice spoke up.

"Wow! Wow! Quite the battle there, Drago! Although, why didn't you just go for the kill immediately? I mean you have the King of Dragons on your side. I'm just saying if I were in charge I would have just gone in and..."

Drago grabbed the man's neck and began to squeeze.

"Okay, okay," he wheezed. "Sorry for doubting you! Don't kill me! I have news!"

Drago raised an eyebrow and dropped the man.

"Speak."

"I found her! I found my sister!"

Drago growled.

"Where is she?"

"South!" the man quickly replied. "In a kingdom called Arendelle."

Drago paused, thinking about it.

"Take a small fleet of your ships, and some of your men. Go to this...Arendelle...find your sister. And bring her here."

The man nodded, and quickly bowed.

"Yes, Drago!"

As Drago began to walk away, he stopped, and called over his shoulder.

"And if you question me again, Dagur...I will not hesitate to kill you. You are only alive for one purpose, and my patience is running thin. Do not fail me."

Dagur gulped and turned to one of his men.

"What are you looking at?! Get the ships ready!"

The man saluted and ran. Dagur smirked.

"I'll see you soon...Heather…"

Dun, Dun, Daaaaaaaaahhhhh! Hope you enjoyed that little twist! So Dagur is coming to Arendelle and is working for Drago! Oh, no! See you next time!
