Chocolate With Nuts

So, actually my sister thought of this idea, but she didn't want to write it. So I'm writing it. Tuffnut and Ruffnut are two of my favorite characters from the movie How to Train Your Dragon. So I just had to do a fan fiction about them. This fan fiction is a lot shorter than my others, but it's not a one shot. I think those are boring. Basically Snotlout is trying to find a girl friend for Tuffnut, but his dear sister keeps sabotaging all attempts. Is Ruffnut just determined to make sure her brother stays single forever? Let's find out.

Disclaimer: I do not own HTTYD or its characters. I have the movie and the book series, but I don't own rights to them. Sad, really. The next movie would come out much faster if I did.

Chapter 1: Why Having a Twin Sucks

Tuffnut never wanted a twin, let alone a sister. He would've been perfectly fine being an only child. It wouldn't have been that bad, he had friends who'd keep him company and could leave him alone when he wanted peace. But no. A few minutes after he had been born, Ruffnut came. And then they were stuck with each other until one of them died. Probably him. In fact, Ruffnut had even told him once that she would make sure he died before her.

There were many things Ruffnut did that irritated her brother. Stealing his stuff, for instance. She would walk right into his room and take whatever she wanted. And one time she had tried to convince him that he was adopted. They were young then, but she had somehow managed to convince him to stuff himself inside a box so she could send him back to where he came from. It took hours inside that cramped little box before his parents came looking for him. It wasn't so much Ruffnut he blamed for that as he blamed himself for believing her. And one year, when they were turning nine, their mother asked Tuffnut to hand out invitations to Ruffnut's surprise birthday party. That's when he realized that she was the favorite twin.

But all of that didn't bother Tuffnut too badly (he was known for taking a thing or two from his sister's room.) No, the thing that bugged him the most was what happened every time he found a girl that he liked. They would click instantly. And he would try very hard to hide his relationship from Ruffnut. But she always found out. And then the worst would come. She would schmooze her way into all of his dates, sit in between him and the girl, do everything in her power to scare the girl away, and the worst, she would sabotage any kiss he tried to have. It was a nightmare that he could never escape from.

Tuffnut was starting to believe that he would never have a steady relationship with a girl beyond two dates. All thanks to his dear sister Ruffnut. And when he asked her why she did this, she never gave him much of an answer.

"I like to torment you," she would say as yet another girl ran out on him, "You'll never get married if I have any say in it."

"You shouldn't have any say in it," Tuffnut would growl back.

"Yeah right," she would scoff.

And that's the way it was for a long time. Then one day after Viking Training class, Tuffnut's best friend, Snotlout came to his house. He barged in through the front door, knocking it right down as Tuffnut sat on the couch, staring at the wall.

"We have a door knob, you know," he told his friend. Snotlout ignored him.

"Hey buddy!" he exclaimed, "What is every teenage boy's dream?"

"To not have a sister who's hotter than him?" he guessed.

"No," Snotlout scoffed, "To have a girlfriend!"

"Great," Tuffnut muttered, "So you've found a girlfriend, and now you've come to brag about it, am I right?"

"Oh, I've found a girlfriend," Snotlout said, "But not for me. For you!"

Tuffnut stared at him. "What?" he asked.

"I've set you up on a blind date!" his friend explained, "Don't worry! She's really nice and smart and tolerant. Hot, too. And best of all, not my type."

"Okay," Tuffnut muttered, "Why?"

"Cuz," Snotlout replied, "I know how you've been down lately because you don't have a girlfriend. So I found you one. No need to thank me."

"You couldn't have asked me first?" Tuffnut demanded.

"Nope!" Snotlout replied, happily. "She's coming by here tonight and she's going to expect you to take her somewhere girly and romantic. So keep that in mind. Good luck buddy!" With that, he stepped over the fallen door and dashed away. Tuffnut ran over to the door way.

"Wait!" he called, "Aren't you even going to tell me her name?" But he was already too far away to hear.

Sighing, he turned back to his house and entered the kitchen. Ruffnut was there, mixing water with some sort of thick red liquid. "Hey, bro," she greeted, pouring him a glass of the liquid, "Here."

"Thanks," Tuffnut said. He looked at it closely. "What is it?" he asked her.

"Chicken blood," she replied, turning back to her drink. Screwing up his face, Tuffnut dumped the liquid out the window next to him.

"Hey Ruffnut," he said.

"Yo."

"Are you doing anything tonight?"

Ruffnut paused to think. "Just going out to the pastures to scare the sheep," she replied, "Why?"

"No reason," her brother responded. He paused. "Didn't Stoick tell you not to do that anymore?" he wondered.

"Yeah," Ruffnut replied, "But my loving and caring brother's not going to tell him, is he?" She gave him a stern look. Tuffnut sighed.

"I guess not," he replied.

"Good," she said, nodding her head.

As they sat down at the table, their father came in. "Hey guys," he greeted them. He poured himself a glass of the watery chicken blood, and sat down at the table. Tuffnut's eyes widened.

"Dad, wait!" he exclaimed as their father took a sip. He immediately spat it back out.

"This punch tastes like chicken blood!" he exclaimed.

"It is chicken blood," Ruffnut replied with a wide grinned. Tuffnut smacked his hand to his face as their father got up to pour it back.

…

Tuffnut shuffled through the village towards the chief's hut. Chief Stoick had a son named Hiccup who, about a year ago, defeated the Green Death. Now all the teens who had picked on him were friends with him. Tuffnut was hoping he could help him.

Hiccup was quite surprised when he opened the door to see Tuffnut. "What are you doing here?" he asked. Tuffnut sighed.

"I have a favor to ask of you," he replied.

Whoa! What's the favor Tuffnut wants? You'll have to find out next chapter.
