"Lass! Wake up it's afternoon already we must get you ready for dinner this evening!" Lumiere hopped on top of Merida's blankets.

"Five more minutes mum." Merida moaned out tiredly as she kept snoring.

"Dear, you have a long day ahead of you today. We must get you ready if we want it to be perfect." Mrs. Pots explained. Merida kept snoring, being too tired from staying up until midnight studying the piece of paper.

"Oh heavens Lumiere she's too fast asleep. Maybe It'll be best to come back a little later."

"I guess you're right." Lumiere sighed.

"Let's go check on the lad."

Lumiere and Mrs. Pots went inside Hiccup's chambers.

"Master!? Are you in here?"

"What's wrong Lumiere?" Hiccup walked out of the shadows, stretching his wings.

"We just came to see how your feeling for tonight."

"I'm alright I guess, just a little nervous."

" Well we can't really get you ready until dusk."

"Why don't you stay here with Hiccup to ease his nervousness and I'll go back to see the girl." Mrs. Pots suggested. At the mention of Merida, Hiccup's insides turned wild. Mrs. Pots excuse herself leaving the two men alone.

"While we are on the subject. I personally will be in charge of the music. And once you're on the dance floor, I'll play a melody and if anything you'll start singing!" Lumiere clapped his metal "hands" together nervously giving out a chuckle.

"Pardon?" Hiccup surprisedly asked. Yes indeed this was supposedly a "romantic dinner" but....singing! That was out of his idea for a nice evening.

"Yes master! Nothing speaks louder than singing when it comes to romance!" Lumiere exclaimed happily.

"I think we have different viewpoints on this matter Lumiere." Hiccup frown at the thought of him singing to Merida. He shook his head embarrassed by the thought.

"Oh come on lad, trust me." The little candle man pleaded giving his master a soft look. Hiccup could only roll his dragon eyes.

"If I were to agree what's the melody then."

"Oh don't worry about that lad. Once you hear it you can not know the words." He gave a smile and left the dragon boy alone once again.

Hiccup sighed. To be honest he was very much a nervous wreck for tonight's events. He had no idea what can happen or could happen. It's been a while since he danced, ate properly, or even that matter wore royal attire. He was told yesterday evening that his attire was being made along with Merida's. He wasn't sure about all of this but he wanted to at least try...he felt a certain emotion rise and break within him, an emotion that he promised to lock up long ago and to feel it spread inside him..., he didn't fight it back to its dark cell..he let it consume him, happy to be able to feel it once more. In all his dragon form years he could still feel....hope.

Mrs. Pots took a deep breath out to have finally the ginger head in the bathtub.

"I thought I would never wake you up."

Merida turned red at the old woman's remark, having woken up until late afternoon. She simply said a small sorry.
