Astrid rolled her eyes. Of course. Of course she had to be paired up with Hiccup for that ridiculous project. The ridiculous project that required a boy and a girl to be parents of a doll for two weeks. Two weeks.
Everyone else was with someone they actually tolerated. Ruffnut with Fishlegs, Snotlout with Heather, even Tuffnut was with a nice girl. But no. The Gods just had to pair her with Hiccup. It was Hiccup. He was going to mess everything up, and Astrid liked everything neat and tidy. She'd already planned everything out. He takes the first 2 nights, and then she takes over. Nice and simple, everything that Hiccup isn't.
Hiccup turned to her and grinned,"What's his name going to be?"
"Bob." Astrid deadpanned.
Hiccup rolled his green eyes and goes up to the teacher to 'adopt' the kid.
When he came back with a female doll and saw her questioning gaze, he whispered in her ear, "She was the only one left."
"What her name?"
He smirked, "Bobette."
Astrid groaned. This was going to be a long project.
Hiccup understood children. He thinks like a young child. This project would be a breeze, but sadly perfectionist Astrid had to ruin it for him. Hiccup had suggested to play with the kid, but Wendy was snapping that a child needed to be nurtured and cared for properly. Hiccup had tried to snatch the child out of Astrid's hands, but she started to protest, "Hiccup! I was observing it!"
He rolled his eyes. Of course. Because if observing a baby was normal, then observing a fake baby would be completely logical.
They were at his house. His parents weren't home, as usual. Normally, Hiccup loved the large house, but the wails of Bobette, and Astrid's shrill protests were enough to make him want to flee to somewhere far away. Maybe Neptune. Hiccup started to rock the doll and shush it. He jumped around the room and kept the rocking going. The stubborn girl cried even louder.
Hiccup groaned, "Shut up!"
Astrid glared at him and gave the doll some fake milk from the bottle and then set her down in the car seat provided. She started to hum a lullaby to it who was now cooing. Eventually, the doll stopped crying. It made sleeping sounds that a real baby would. Hiccup shuddered, it was a bit too eerie for his tastes. "See, she is now asleep."
"What do we do now? The kid's asleep?"
"How about we watch a movie?" Astrid suggested.
I'm kinda new at this. Sorry for the mistakes and extremely terribly sorry about the overused plot line. It will get interesting though.
And please point out all the mistakes.
