•~•Jack POV•~•
Hiccup shakes me awake, as I open my eyes and s bright sunlight pierces though the window. I groan as I push myself into an upright position. I was up late playing with Elsa last night, she's really warming up to me.

"We have to leave, now." Hiccup says, his voice is sore and raspy.

"What?!"

"We have to leave!!"

"Yes, I understand that. But WHY are we leaving?!?"

"Our ship is ready, the King called us down."

"Oh, well get out I need to change."

He rolls his eyes but stops at the door, "Have you seen Merida lately? I checked her room and she wasn't there."

I shrug, how am I supposed to know where that woman is?

"I'm gonna go look for her, you go down to the dock when your done."

He runs out of the room before I can respond. I can't help it, I scoff. Lovebirds.

"Jackson?" Queen Iduna asks, "Are you ready?"

I nod assuringly and smile. "We're all ready to go, we'll be fine."

She smiles happily, "Oh, your so brave." Her eyes fill with tears as she pats my shoulder.

"Thanks for letting us stay."

"Don't thank me yet!"

"What?"

"We're coming with you!"

What?! I can feel my face redden as she points to her bag. This isn't good, they weren't supposed to come with us! I look around for Merida and Hiccup. Gone. Hopefully in the ship, though.

•~•Hiccup POV•~•
I stand next to Jack, cleaning the wooden deck of the boat with a mop. I'm still pissed that he told the Queen and King that I was his servant. What a bitch. And did I mention that I'm still trying to avoid Merida as much as possible? Why? My freaking face turns red every time she talks to me! And she blushes too!! How exactly am I supposed to prove I'm over her, if she's clearly not over me?!

The king walks over to us. "Hello, Hiccup," he says to me. And then he ignores me.

"Prince Jackson, we have some terrible news."

Jack looks up at the king, "What?" He adds no concern in his voice.

"The Captain says that we're heading into a storm."

"Okay, so what?"Jack says, while shrugging his shoulders.

"Sir," the king says, "this is a big storm! Huge waves are brewing, and we could get lost!"

Jack shows the same emotionless face, as he shrugs once more.

King Agdar's face fills with anger as he storms away.

"Seriously?!" I ask.

"What?"

"Your leading the ship on a suicide mission!"
