"This one, she was the... Scottish princess of a clan and place called Dun'Broch." Jack's lips curled upwards, rapidly downwards, and lifted up again, as if he was having trouble about what image he would give her.

"Queen Merida? I think I've heard about her. Never married, I think. She was known for her independence. I should know." Tooth grinned. "I've been quite addicted to Scotland for a few centuries." Jack chuckled softly.

"You should've known her. Her bite was a lot worse than her bark. She was quite modest at times, actually. Didn't lower the threatening look she always carried for strangers though."

I drifted around North Sea, preferring a bit of fresh air. I'd finished my visit to Hiccup, and had flown out towards the closest water stretch. I "lay" face-up, staring blissfully at the sky. At least until a long, wooden pole attached to a wash of fabric knocked me out of the sky.

"Hey!" I flipped up irritably, shock strewn all over my face as three massive boats propelled through me. I glanced at the direction they were heading, and scrunched my eyebrows. They were heading for Scotland. The largest clan there had an eligible daughter, as I had heard, and perhaps they were her suitors. Bored, I was about to fly back to Berk for some dragon-teasing when I stopped dead in the wind.

"That Merida is a spitfire, son. Don't mess it up." A formidable man with bushy blonde hair and bangs that covered his eyes clapped a obese, younger version of himself on the back. The young man winced and nodded sharply.

"Of course, father. I've also heard she's the best in the world with a bow. Do you think she'll shoot me?" His voice was nervous, insecure. The large man let out a belly laugh.

"Nay, son. She may be good at archery, but she won't shoot yeh." This thick accent made 'won't' sound like 'want'. I smiled. Perhaps I should pop in. This Merida sounds interesting.


"So you just went?" Tooth, captivated, fluttered her wings, eager to go on with the story, but couldn't help making a few comments. Jack smirked.

"Yes. Shush now."

I sat atop a huge canopy, watching in an equal huge amount of amusement as this fiery haired girl pulled back her hood, bow clasped in her pale hands.

"I am Merida, and I will be shooting for my own hand!" A dark haired woman of flowing emerald robes rushed forwards, shock evident on her face.

"Merida! Do not do this!" Ignoring her, she straightened her posture, clothes ripping until she was comfortable, and drew back her arrow. She hit bull's eye without breaking a sweat, and calmly walked across the field, hitting dead center of all three targets while she walked. The rest of the audience stood, staring in awe as she split the previously (and clumsily shot) arrow shot by a suitor in half. Her eyes flickered upwards triumphantly, and seeing me, faltered for a moment. Gosh darn. I clambered off the canopy, flying off in the wind. Did she just see me?!

I sat on her widowsill lazily, fingering my staff and yawning. Merida burst into her room, glancing feverishly behind her as she scuttled. Staring at me, she stopped dead in her tracks.

"You... you were the one on top of that canopy!" She immediately drew her bow, notching an arrow. "Who are you?!" She screamed, blue eyes ablaze. I swung my hands up in a surrender position, but she still watched me with weary eyes.

"I'm Jack Frost." Her eyes widened. Much as Punzie had done, she hurried over to a bookshelf and lodged out a deather bound book, flipping frantically through the pages. She settled on a yellowing page and compared me to the drawing. Eyes now as wide as saucers, she stabbed at the drawing.

"It's you. That... Jäck Frōst." I sighed, nodding. Her flaming hair seemed to bounce as her jaw fell open.

"Mother... Elinor... Used to tell me stories about you! Winter spirit! He who brings the cold!" Her hysterical tone made her accent stronger.

"Yeah. Me."

Tooth frowned.

"She seems pretty awed. You looked a little torn between being disapproving of her and smiling at her." She observed. "Why?"

Jack snorted.

"We had our differences."

Merida stomped her foot angrily, eyes flashing murderously. Wet snow slugged down her back and into her winter dress. I'd done it for fun. Mean little redhead.

"I'll get yeh for that, winter spirit!" She screeched, bow at the ready, an arrow lodged between the string and wood. I scowled.

"Try, little mortal!" Hollering in fury, she shot at me, only to have her arrows shattered by ice. I snickered. "Try a little harder, young one." She swivelled around.

"Don' . one!" In a heartbeat, another arrow was sailing towards me. I slammed it aside with ice magic while Merida growled in frustration. Within moments, the air was peppered with arrows flying towards me. I dodged every one, taunting her. I tore off, her hot on my heels on her steed, riding at maniac speeds without holding the reins, hands on her quiver and bow.

"The combination of my mischief and her... hot temper was dangerous. Might as well have been a nuclear bomb."

"That bad, huh?"

"Yep."

"How'd she die?" Tooth winced as she asked, certain she'd hit a painful spot, again, even if he didn't seem overly fond of Merida. She'd heard of the great, independent queen, but she hadn't heard about the exact details of her life, birth and death. As expected, a catch was in his throat as he replied.

"You know, she fought. She fought until the end. Died fighting, that girl. She had a army with her, but not until every person had run away or lay dead did she breathe her last breath. She brought down a bane of Europe by herself, in fury of loss and death in her every surrounding. She traded the lives of millions for hers, but dear snow did she fight. She was of bravery. Hiccup was of inventing, and Rapunzel was of curiosity. They all had their special parts, and they all believed me.

And I loved them all. And I will until the end."


I wonder if I should put a quick epilogue, something that recounts their time together. But then again, this fanfiction was like a epilogue for Team Today, Team Tomorrow itself.

Thank you for everyone who supported me through this incredibly short fanfic, and I will be posting more big four stuff, but for now I want to focus on my book fandoms.

Keep your eyes peeled if you enjoyed my horrid writing!
