“You know this happens every year, and I have never agreed to it. Even if this time it is a Viking.” Merida yelled to her mother, slamming her hands on the table.
“Merida. I know this happens every year but this time it needs to happen. He is back.” Merida’s Mother yelled back at her standing up, ready to chase Merida back into her room.
“You say ‘he’ but you never tell me who ‘he’ is. Why would I want to marry anyone just for a ‘he’?”
“The ‘he’ is someone I would prefer not to talk about, but he can do many awful things.”
“We have had this argument before. I am not getting married!” Merida stood up, frowning, and running to her room.
“Merida. You know as well as I do, that someday you will get married, and it had better have a strong connection, because if the he I’m talking about comes back, your archery skills are useless.” Merida’s Mother followed her up the stairs.
“So a town of Vikings will help us more?”
“They kill dragons. I am positive they will help us more.”
“I’m not getting married.” Merida yelled, running into her room and slamming the door in her Mother’s face. She grabs her bow, and climbs out of the window, where she runs to the stables and rides her horse, Angus, into the forest. She dismounts when she was deep in the forest, and walks around.
“Ah… Hello?” Hiccup asked, looking over at Merida, who grabbed her bow and aimed it at him. Almost instinctive, Toothless jumped down from the tree he was hiding in and jumped in front of Hiccup.
“What is that?” Merida yelled, as Hiccup ran in front of Toothless, trying to calm him down.
“It is a dragon… I need to ask you something, me and my friends are looking for someone.”
“I don’t see any friends!”
“They are hiding away for now… I’m looking for Merida Dun…” Hiccup starts his sentence, but was interrupted by Merida aiming her bow higher.
“What do you and your friends need with the Princess.”
“We need to talk to her.”
“Then talk.” Merida said, lowering her bow, and Hiccup looked taken aback.
“You’re the princess?” That is why she is so beautiful. Hiccup thought, and almost gasped in shock of thinking that.
“Yea. Now, what cha want to speak about?”
“First, you need to meet my ‘friends’. And, don’t be afraid of them… I had the same reaction.” Hiccup said, leading Merida to the others.
“This is her?” North asked looking at her. “It looks like her.”
“Merida, this is North. Over there is Jack Frost. And she is…” Hiccup started introducing everyone, but Rapunzel interrupted him.
“I’m Rapunzel!” She runs over to Merida and looked at her. “I don’t have any female friends, I hope we can be friends.”
“Rapunzel. Get back in the sleigh.” Jack says, glaring at the bow.
“I’m Merida. And who are you and your dragon?” Merida said pointing at Hiccup as Rapunzel got back in the sleigh.
“Hiccup. And my dragon is Toothless.” Hiccup said, stepping back, waiting for North to explain, which he soon did.
“So… You want me to become a Guardian? Just because a crystal told me I should?”
“That is basically true.” Hiccup said.
“No.”
“You can come on a trial period… Like I am.”
“No.”
“Merida… Come on.” Rapunzel said in a whining voice.
“No.”
“Not even a…” Hiccup started, but he stopped himself, knowing what Merida was going to say, and she did,
“No.”
“Please come on!” Rapunzel said, in a near yell but calmed herself again.
“I don’t want to go anywhere.”
“What if you can change your fate?” Jack said, blowing a snow flake at her.
“I’m not going anywhere.”
“Not even got a trial?” Hiccup asked and Merida sighed.
“You’re not going to leave me alone unless I say yes are you?”
“That’s right.” North replied, and Rapunzel nodded happily.
“Fine.” Merida said finally, and climbs onto the sleigh, looking over at the dragon hopefully.
