Hi every one! =) How are you?
First of all, before you start reading, let me tell you that I'm a Spanish speaker.
Along the school I've really hated English, the only thing I've suffered more was maths… but at the end of high school I've discovered that my favourite program was much better in English that in Spanish, so I´ve started to watch films and programs in English, an guess what? I liked it! But after I´ve finished school I didn't have chance to prove my English skills.
After watching the last episode of the second season of Httyd' series, Httyd2 and the Dawn of the dragon racers, I came up with a good idea for a fic, but I couldn't imagine Hiccup and Astrid speaking with the voice of their Spanish actors. So I thought "what about writing the fic in English?" my first answer was "No! Don´t even think it", my second one was something like: "Only if a purple dragon with blue and pink spots fly across my window!" and guess what? A purple dragon with blue and pink spots flew across my window!… jaja (or in English Haha). Being serious, writing was my worst skill and I've always hate it. But I love to write, and I really like English, and after all: I have a B in First Certificate! Somehow I approved that skill. So… why not?
After that loooong line of thinking… I want to ask you two things:
First of all, be pious with me. This is something new for me and I gave my best.
And second, I really want to learn. Place, place, place if you want to review, tell me my mistakes (spelling, grammar, vocabulary, if a word fits better than what I've wrote… whatever) and I´ll keep it in mind for what is coming.
Nothing more, now place read and review ;)
"Pass out"
-"This is Berk. Here we have the best sport in the world: dragon racing. What make them so special are the dragons, without them we won't enjoy sports as much as we do. And we do love dragon racing. "
-Yes! Another point. -shouted Astrid while she put the sheep in the basket. -With this one we have seven, Stormfly. We are the best team ever.
-Don't claim victory so soon, Astrid. Toothless and I have the same score than you, and I'm sure that a Night Fury will find the black sheep sooner than a Nadler.
-In your dreams. Hook Fang and I are going to win. -start Snotlout.
The horn sounded and all the riders went in a different direction, looking for the black sheep.
-That way. -Said Ruff
-No, that way.
-Your pointing the same way that I am pointing.
-yup… wait! Am I?
-Yes, stupid.
-Well… what I wanted to say is that way. -Announced Tuff pointing in other direction.
But, while the tweens fight, they were pulling the horns of their dragon, and made him crash with a tree.
-Idiot. -Complain Ruff about her brother. -Wait. Look there. The black sheep.
-Ohhh… yea. I told you that our woolly friend would be there.
But as any answer, he receive a punch in the face; because the sheep was where Ruff suggest, not in de direction he said.
Ruff run to the sheep an grab it, then she mount her head of the dragon and wait Tuff.
In the other side of the island, Fishlegs overflew the beach.
-Where do you thing that the black sheep can be hide?
But a terrifying noise was his only answer.
-You… you heard the same that I heard? - Asked trembling before the sound repeated. - It can't be true…
Following their instincts, and the noise that the tweens made, Hiccup and Astrid returned to the baskets and wait to the perfect moment to steal the sheep and make ten points.
When Ruff and Tuff were getting closer to their basket, Snotlout appear and took the sheep a few seconds before Hiccup flew over him and stole the stolen sheep.
Astrid start to bother him in order to get the black sheep, but he and Toothless could defend their position very well. They were about to reach the basket when somebody call him.
-Hiccup! Hiccup!
That distract him allowing Astrid to take the sheep and score.
-Astrid is the winner- declare Stoic.
-Yes- exclaimed she while the crowd acclaimed.
-Fishlegs…- Said Hiccup between angry and disappointed.
-I'm sorry, Hiccup. But… but…
-But what? Tell me.
Fishlegs took a deep breath and explained Hiccup.
To be continued…
(I´ve always wanted to say that)
What do you think? Short, I know, but that is because I have a few more chapters done and that was a good point to cut it. Don't you think so?
I don't know if you liked the cap. but I'm proud of it because is my first one in English and wasn't as hard as I imagined. I tried to play with the words, tell me: "…and stole the stolen sheep" it´s ok, or it´s a kind of strange monster that I created?
And remember: spelling, grammar, vocabulary, colocation… whatever, tell me in a review.
Place, REVEW!
Suerte;)
