Hiccup-

Every second of being in a locked room with Merida was making a whole lot more awkward than it should be. I mean, we just might be getting married because our parents are stubborn and won't take no for an answer AND weddings should be a happy event. I'm pretty sure the people that cry are crying happy tears.

Then again, brides cry too, but it's because they'll miss their families... Right?

"Any longer in here and I just might eat Frosty for dinner," Merida said, giving an accusing glance at Jack.

"Nope. My meat is like frozen dinners; if they're not cooked, it's hard and it tastes like cardboard. But Scottish princesses on the other hand, now that might be good eatin'!"

"You guys are sick!" I yelled, even though I seriously didn't mean to draw attention to myself. "I can barely kill a dragon if I need meat, much less a human being. You guys are talking about eating each other as if it's normal!" Hey, might as well continue while I still have their attention!

"Ugh! You don't get it, Hiccup! Jack's not a human being any more. He just might be soulless," Merida lectured.

"But the moon resurrected him because he just might be the most soulful person alive. And he was a human being once, things don't just change that drastically." Merida closed her mouth after I spoke. "Besides, you hate me just as equally. Why not eat me?"

Merida's expression softened. "Because..." She seemed to realize she was breaking down in front of us and quickly put her wall back up. "Because of that metal leg. You wouldn't have enough meat." I nodded, taking in the knowledge that she just might not be as rough and tough as she tries to seem. Something about her expression before made me want to wrap an arm around her, support her so she can finally break her barriers.

What am I saying? I'm going insane! Why am I thinking like that?! It's not natural for someone to think like that about someone they despise.

But then again, I told myself the same thing when I first saw Toothless...

Nope! Nuh-uh! It is NOT the same thing. Completely different situations! Oh yeah that's it! Try to convince yourself, Hiccup.

Like that ever worked before!

Rapunzel~

I seriously surprised myself. I started missing my tower. There, I had Pascel and all my paintings. I had those three lame books that I suddenly realized I actually loved! I didn't want to think about it, but I can't help myself! I miss my bed, my broken hairbrushes, my beautiful view of the floating lights.

There is no way I can tell if there's a place for me to see them again. Now I can never see them, even if it was just from a window. But...

I like it here. It's the first time I can interact with people other than my mother. Sure, I miss the tower, but I've also never been more free! If I was at the tower right now, I would be warming up leftover hazelnut soup. Here, yetis cook for me and I have peers too! Jack is soooo handsome. If Merida acted girly, every guy would be after her. Man, Hiccup needs to just face the facts and realize how much he loves Merida. I never realized how obvious it was to girls when a guy liked someone. Or when a girl likes someone, because if Merida's glances toward Hiccup aren't attraction, I don't know what they are!

Maybe it's time to face it myself, free is what I needed to be.

Jack-

I kind of want to start a conversation with Rapunzel because she was looking sad. I wanted to choke Merida because she needs to take anger management and probably won't unless I threaten her. I also wanted to ask Hiccup more questions about dragons because its a cool topic to get my mind off of the darkness that keeps me unsettled about The Big Four.

"So..." I say. I only catch Rapunzel's and Hiccup's attention. Merida is scowling in deep thought. "Is there anything interesting about dragons that you can tell us?" I say turning to Hiccup.

"Um... No. Well there are different kinds. There's one that has a tendency of setting itself on fire. One with two heads where one head blows poisonous gas and the other head blows fire. There's a really ugly fat one that has some pretty small wings. There are a lot of ones that stay small, but are still pretty lethal in battle. Toothless is a Nightfury. His fire is blue, like lightning, and he never misses a target."

"Wow. You know a lot about dragons." I compliment.

"Yeah! They seem so interesting." Rapunzel says in wonder.

"It's nothing really. Everyone at Berk has to because first we needed to know their weaknesses to fight them. Now we need to know how to take care of them." Hiccup said.

"You're too modest!" Rapunzel said.

"No seriously. Everyone knows everything about dragons."

"Okay, whatever you say!" Rapunzel said playfully.

You know, I was kind of starting to like the Big Four.

Merida~

While they were having a conversation about dragons I was thinking about my betrothal. Stoik obviously wouldn't have even considered offering a marriage alliance between Hiccup and I unless he knew something we didn't. Like the fact that Hiccup seems to be good at taming me. Without even trying, he knows how to keep me at bay from doing things I just might regret.

Where was he when I was asking for a spell from a silly, woodcarving witch? Probably saving his village from the Mother of all Dragons. I keep picturing him, riding a dragon and fighting a dragon even bigger than dragons that are already pretty big. It was a nice image. Just the idea of it makes me flutter inside about how brave he truly is.

Sure, he looks small and weak, but I feel like I could have NEVER done that! I ran away from a bear, even if it was just Mor'du!

"Okay, whatever you say!" Rapunzel said.

"How do YOUR powers work?" I suddenly asked her. Everyone looked at me. I pretended to ignore them, to just focus my attention on Rapunzel.

"Well, no one in here is old or injured, and I wouldn't know how to explain it properly," she replied nervously. I pulled a dagger out of my boot and slit my wrist, holding it out to her. Hiccup became frantic and was coming towards me, but Jack pushed him back into his seat. Rapunzel was shocked and quickly wrapped a strand of her hair around my wound, singing:

'Flower gleam and glow,

Let your power shine,

Make the clock reverse,

Bring back what once was mine.

Heal what has been hurt,

Change the fate's design,

Save what has been lost,

Bring back what once was mine.

What once was mine...'

When she pulled her hair away from my wrist, the boys and I gasped and they leaned forward to see it. There was nothing left. It was as if I never even touched it with my fingernails when I sometimes scratch myself. When my thoughts came back to the present, I realized Hiccup was lingering longer than he needed to. He sat back down when I looked at him. We held our stares for a little while and then turned away.

I turned to Jack and Rapunzel. Jack was examining her hair trying to find a source to the magic. Instead, he found a small strand of brown hair. While he began to relentlessly ask her questions, Hiccup and I just looked at each other.

Hiccup sighed. 'I'm sorry,' he mouthed.

'I'm sorry too,' I mouthed back. His mouth split into a side grin and he scooted his chair a little closer.

The Big Four all together =>

Maybe it was okay to be apart of something different.
