The Fourth Suitor

Games

Merida's POV

This is why he was asking?

I can't believe it,I mean I'm happy but I won't let no one know.

Mom looked at me but I looked away.

"Alright 'en we will start wi' th' fire games an' we will do what ye missed later,privately."

We didn't even practice the rest.

But he's smart,he could win.

Right?

Father looked a bit shocked but nodded.

I bit my lip preventing myself from smiling.

"Th' point in th' game is 'at th' arrow should not be on fire once it has gone across 'at hoop"Mother said.

They all started getting ready and then Mom stood up once again making me groan inside.

"An' yeah can use th' items around ye"Mom said and sat down.

I'm surprised my Mom forgot something usually knows everything and what to say.

Well I wouldn't say everything but I think you know what I mean.

Young Macintosh went first and I think he broke the bottom of the arrow.

He tried making it go over the hoop but it landed in front of him making him start yelling and throwing and banging the arrow.

Very attractive,Yeah right if I was him I would have been embarrassed.

Wee Dingwall stepped up but then fell on a water barrel.

I sighed making Mother glare at me,I rolled my eyes.

"Looks like someone doesn't need a bath anymore"Father said and we both laughed.

Mother sighed and looked at Wee Dingwall who just managed to get out.

"That's embarrassing"Alec mumbled.

"Tell me about it"I mumbled back.

He got the arrow from somewhere near his pocket and tried shooting it.

Please not like before please don't win.

He finally managed to shoot the arrow but it ended up hitting the hoop and bouncing off.

Young MacGuffin went up shoot the arrow which made it,actually it went through the middle but was on ashes once it made it through the hoop.

Me and Alec glance at each other bored out of our minds.

Snoutlet stepped up,who looked like an idiot.

No offence.

He kept glancing at the arrow and the bow.

He dipped both the arrow and bow,Mom and Dad glanced at each other confused.

He compose himself,while I took a quick glance at Hiccup who also looked a tad confused.

Suddenly everyone cheered making me look at the unburned arrow.

This can not be happening.

Snoutlet winked and then went to his place again.

Why do Hiccup and Snoutlet have to be cousins.

I mean Hiccup is way smarter than Snoutlet.

Alec looked shocked and tried closing his mouth but it opened again.

I'm equally as shocked as he is,we all are.

Hiccup looked nervous,I mean I think that's the only way.

He shakily got the arrow and dipped it into water.

Some of the people started murmuring.

He then crouched down and started rubbing it with dirt.

Once the arrow was completely dripping with mud he put it on the bow and started aiming.

The next thing surprised me.
