How To Train Your Dragon: Modern Day Mess

Now it's a race against the clock to get the Berk crew back to their world before the second sunrise on the second month, or they'll be stuck in modern day lives forever and the dragons could be erased from the very fabric of time! Now if they can just convince them it's the truth... includes events from the TV series and Hicstrid shipping. Don't like, don't read.
SPH: Hey guys, what is up? So as you can see, another new story, and this one was inspired by watching this video on YouTube called Hiccup and Astrid CMV- Into a Fantasy by Unison Cosplayers, which I really recommend you watching. Anyway, because most of the video was Hiccup and Astrid in modern day clothing it sparked this idea of Hiccup and the gang somehow ending up in our world and needing to get back, or something bad would happen, and thus this story was born. Alright, so I know the second sunrise thing is from Brave, but it was the only thing I could come up with for a time span so please don't give me any grief about it, okay? Anyway, I do not own How To Train Your Dragon, or any of the characters from the franchise, I only own my OC's, the story, and its plot. On with the story!
Prolog
In Berk...
Hiccup spotted Astrid in the Main Hall reading some sort of book, which she seemed to be laughing at. Hiccup was confused by it and was about to ask her what she found so funny, but was knocked over by Toothless, who ran in excited, well really Tuffnut had given him a full basket of Dragon Nip which was why he was so hyper. Hiccup gave a startled cry as he fell.
"Ugh,", He groaned getting up and holding his head, "Toothless, what'd you do that for?"
"Looks like he had some Dragon Nip.", Astrid said looking up.
"That would be because Tuffnut gave him a full basket of it,", Fishlegs said walking in, "luckily I discovered that if you have them drink a full barrel of water, it will calm them down."
Hiccup groaned as he somehow managed to catch his dragon and made him drink a full barrel of water.
"You good now?", He asked once Toothless had finished.
Toothless gave a small nod.
"Good.", Hiccup said, "Now come on, I wanna ask Astrid what she found so funny in that book, Vikings don't read much, and as far as I know, none of the books we've received were humorous."
Toothless followed him as they went back up to the Main Hall.
"So Astird,", Hiccup said walking over, "what's so funny?"
Astrid looked up at him and Toothless.
"This book!", She cried, "It's supposedly a spell book, but I think it's a joke from the twins."
"And why's that?", Fishlegs asked.
Astrid opened her mouth to speak, but was cut off by Snotlout storming in and yelling for Fishlegs to get Meatlug under control because Tuffnut had given her a basket of Dragon Nip.
"Anyway,", Astrid said rolling her eyes, "it's this one spell, it's to stupid to be a real one."
"Why's that?", Hiccup asked sitting down by her.
"The title.", Astrid said, "Look, it says Spell To Turn Your World Into One Of Modern Times. If that doesn't scream prank by the twins, then what does?"
"Well, yeah, that is strange, but it's spelt correctly.", Hiccup pointed out, "You've seen their spelling, right?"
Astrid rolled her eyes.
"They could of just been looking at other things to see how to spell it so we'd think it was real, I mean, you saw how quickly we figured out their last one after noticing the spelling was wrong.", She said.
"Okay, you might have a point,", Hiccup admitted, "but I don't think Ruff and Tuff would be smart enough to come up with that."
"Well I still say it's a joke.", Astrid said, "I mean look at the ritual!"
Toothless cocked his head in curiosity.
"First, grab a bowl of salt, and milk from any animal," Astrid read.
Toothless quickly got both curious about this, and still a bit fuzzy minded from the Dragon Nip.
"Then, put a small candle in between and light it.", Astrid continued.
Toothless once again followed what she said.
"Next place one of the most modern and advanced devices you have in front of them.", Astrid added.
Toothless fetched Hiccup's shield and set it down.
"Finally read the spell, all of those with you shall remember your current lives until you chose to come back, and once again, only those with you shall remember as long as no magic's are mixed," Astrid said.
"Well, what's the spell?", Hiccup asked oblivious to what Toothless had been doing.
Astrid took a deep breath.
"World of old, from times to far, spring forward to times of so much more! Leave these old dull hardworking ways, and bring us forth into advanced modern days!", She cried.
She and Hiccup burst out laughing.
"Well, I personally like it here, so if it is real, we're lucky there wasn't any ritual set up.", Hiccup said.
Toothless gave a nervous moan.
"Oh, come on.", Hiccup groaned when he saw Toothless had set everything up.
"Well, at least we know the book's a fa..."
In Modern Day Pennsylvania...
Marcy McGill hummed as she set her popcorn with cinnamon and hot cocoa mix down and hit play on How To Train Your Dragon.
"So, what's with the distant gaze?", her boyfriend Blake's triplet sister asked plopping down beside her.
"Huh?", Marcy asked, "Oh, nothing, it's just this."
She passed Kerri an old leather bound book.
"Where'd you get it?", Kerri asked turning to a dog tagged page labeled Spell To Bring The Movie You're Watching Into Your World.
"Well...", Marcy started.
Earlier That Day...
Marcy walked around the school Library bored. It was Study Hall and she'd caught up on all her work at lunch, had finished writing all her novels which she had yet to type up and put up for sale as EBooks on Amazon, and was out of ideas for outfits, so she figured she might as well find a book to read, or maybe check out a new one, or one of her old favorites. She sighed as she reached the end of a row and sat down in front of it, tucking her head into her knees. A book fell on her head not long after.
"Ow!", She cried rubbing her head.
She heard Mrs. James sigh. Blake had gotten suspended earlier for pulling a huge prank in the Library that had gotten a lot of people worked up. Who knew just crying "I Saw a RAT!" could get so many people screaming and climbing onto desks and tables?
"Sorry!", Marcy whispered looking over at her.
She looked at the book. It was old and leather bound, and definitely one that she'd never read, or noticed. She opened the front page and noticed it was blank. She kept flipping pages and gave a small laugh when she saw it was a "spell" book. Still, it was best that she find where it belonged, or if was even from the Library. She prayed it was, or she'd be stuck with it until she found the owner and her mother hated witchcraft, even the fake kind.
"Excuse me, Mrs. James?", She asked, "Where does this book go? It fell on my head when I sat down against a shelf and I'm not sure if it was in the correct section, or if it's even from here."
Mrs. James looked at the book and gasped.
"Oh, dear you take that home!", She cried not bothering to be quiet, "It's not from here and I'd rather it not come back, if you find the owner give it to them, and make sure to tell them never to bring it into this library again!"
"I take it you're not a fan of any sort of witchcraft.", Marcy said sighing as she put the book in her bag.
"There's more to it than that, but yes.", Mrs. James said.
Marcy sighed. She could relate, finding out she was a mage hadn't been all that easy on her, or her friends and family, namely her mother, especially when she found out that she came from a long line of mages, mostly white, but some black, and that so did Blake, only his was reversed. Finding out that he and Kerri had mage powers too, while Vladimir, or Vlad didn't had been a shock too, but what really put a strain on things was Kerri held mostly white mage powers, with very few black ones, Blake was the opposite, mostly black with some white, all of which he never used, except his white healing every now and then if it was called for.
"You'd better pray my mom doesn't find out you gave this to me,", Marcy said, "I'd never tell, but my mom's my mom, if she finds it, she'll do her best to either get rid of it, or make whoever gave it to me sorry, in all honesty, I'll let her get rid of it, but sometimes that's not enough for her."
"Oh, that book always comes back to who it's intended for at the time,", Mrs. James said, "I pity them, and pray it's not you."
Marcy raised an eyebrow, but shrugged.
Present time...
"So I just figured she was trying to scare me," Marcy finished unaware that Kerri'd set up at ritual, "I mean, the book always comes back to who it's currently meant for?"
She laughed.
"Hey, could you read this one spell?", Kerri asked pushing the book with the dog tagged spell she'd looked at earlier in front of Marcy, "Just for fun?"
Marcy groaned and looked at it, then up at the screen, it was the scene where Hiccup freed Toothless, who was by far her favorite dragon in the whole franchise.
'Wouldn't it be amazing if I could meet him?', She wondered giving a sigh.
"Come on!", Kerri cried, "Maybe you'll get to meet your animal soulmate!"
"Shut up!", Marcy yelled throwing her pillow at her friend, "Just because the "which How To Train Your Dragon, Dragon Species Are You?" quiz said I'm a Night Fury doesn't make Toothless my animal soulmate!"
She really enjoyed the joke though, it always made her feel special knowing that as a Dragon, she'd have a chance of helping save the Night Fury species, even if she just liked Toothless the same way she liked her dog Lilly May.
Kerri pushed the book closer to her.
Marcy laughed as she shook her head and began to read.
"World made fake, become real! Merge with this life and its ways, return to fantasy only when the counter spell is used at the time I feel!", She cried before bursting out laughing.
Kerri laughed too.
"Hey, I'll be back, I need to use the bathroom.", She said.
"Want me to hit pause?", Marcy asked closing the book.
"No, no, just keep watching it, I know how much you love the movie and how impatient you are, and I don't want to make you mad because I've actually been having a bit of trouble..." Kerri said picking up two bowls, one filled with milk, the other with salt.
"Okay! TMI!", Marcy cried scrunching up her face, "Just, make sure you let me, mom, or one of my older sisters know if you need help, okay?"
Kerri nodded and carefully grabbed the small candle before silently putting it out. She returned a few minutes later.
"False alarm, just really bad gas.", She said.
Marcy scrunched up her face again.
"T.M.I!", She cried, "False alarm would have been just fine!"
She groaned.
"Please tell me you used the air freshener!", She begged.
"Of course I did," Kerri said, "I'm not my brother."
Marcy threw another pillow at her.
"Grow up!", She cried laughing.
She spotted her hand sewn toy dragon she'd made to match the one that had been a lost gift to Hiccup from his mom that he got back in Dragons: Riders of Berk episode 17 Breakneck Bog after throwing it into the sea when he was really little. It'd been too cute not to make herself one, the only difference between hers and Hiccup's was that she'd left both sides free of any stitching other than that holding the toy together and it was one of her favorite things and secret good luck charm she kept in her bag, except on those rare nights when her insomnia medicine didn't work, or she'd forgotten to take it, then she'd take it out and hold it close to her while she closed her eyes. She wasn't sure how it always made it easier to sleep, she just knew that it did and that she had left it in her bag.
"And put Tiny Tooth back!", She hissed, "I don't want my sisters to see him, or Lilly May to mistake him as one of her toys!"
She'd named him Tiny Tooth because in the book series, Toothless was a tiny, green garden dragon that could fit in your pocket, so Tiny Tooth was actually short for Tiny Toothless, something only she and Kerri knew, as well as his existence.
"You know Tiny Tooth's a Nadder and not a Night Fury, right?", Kerri asked putting the toy back into Marcy's bag.
"Yeah, I know, but cut me some slack will ya?", Marcy asked, "I named him that because in the book series Toothless was..."
"A tiny, green garden dragon that could fit in your pocket, I know.", Kerri said rolling her eyes.
"Yes, and Tiny Tooth can fit in the pockets of my jackets and hoodies, which is a part of the reason I named him that.", Marcy said, "Now can we go back to watching the movie?"
Kerri nodded and plopped back down beside Marcy as they continued to watch. Once it was over they both headed to bed, but not before Marcy snagged Tiny Tooth and held him close to her as she layed down and closed her eyes, unawared of what was going on.
Back on Berk...
"Well, at least we know the book's a fa...", Astrid started.
Suddenly the ground began to shake wildly and patches of light randomly appeared as the building and village began to what looked like ripping itself apart.
"Wh-wh-what's going on?!", Both Hiccup and Astrid cried.
Then, everything went black.
In Modern Day Pennsylvania The Next Day...
Marcy sat up and stretched as she groggily opened her eyes. She yawned as she got up and reached for where she normally set her planned out outfit for the day only to find nothing there and remember that she'd forgotten to set one out because she was having so much fun with Kerri. She groaned as she got out of bed and got ready barely finishing her hair before the five minute warning on her phone went off reminding her to hurry, or she'd miss the bus, not that it mattered since the school was in walking distance, but still. She quickly grabbed Tiny Tooth and put him in her bag before rushing downstairs to eat breakfast, but not before kicking Kerri in the side to wake her up.
"Raccoons eating pineapples!", Kerri cried as she was rudely awakened from her dream.
Marcy burst out laughing and raced for the stairs.
In The Forest Cove...
Toothless groaned as he got up and opened his eyes. Everything hurt, even his fake tail. He gave a small laugh remembering when Hiccup had said the same thing about him and his metal leg. He slowly took in his surroundings, he was in a cove, but not his cove back on Berk. It was similar, but also very different, like the path to get in and out, it was naturally made so people and forest animals could get in and out with ease, but also had very steep and rocky walls with only wildflowers, weeds, ferns, or patches of grass on them aside from other rocks, the pond was larger and deeper, with a rock formation that made a cliff to jump off of, the trees were different as well as the terrain set up. He let out a call hoping Hiccup would hear and come after him, but no such luck. He tried again and again with the same results and was starting to get scared and was extremely regretting setting up that ritual.
At The High School...
Marcy hummed as she walked through the halls, excited about the new Manga club's first official meeting. Really it was a trial run, the Principal had made a deal that if at least ten people showed up, the club would be official, but if there was less, it would be disband. She looked up and dropped her bag as she stopped dead in her tracks and stared at the two people in front of her dressed in modern day style. Hiccup and Astrid.
SPH: Dun-dun-dah! Looks like Marcy just figured out the spell book's real. Okay, so question time. Where did Astrid find her book? What are she and Hiccup doing at High School? Where are the others? What did Mrs. James mean by the book always returns to who it's currently meant for, and what's her connection to it? Where exactly are the others dragons? Why did Kerri secretly set up the ritual? What exactly made Marcy's mom hate magic so much despite it being in their blood line? And what exactly is Marcy going to do about all this? Okay, so now some questions that don't have a lot to do with the story. Who loves Toothless and wants to have him as a pet and friend? Who found Hiccup's toy dragon cute? Who all received what on the quiz Marcy mentioned? (I got Night Fury ^^) Who else wants to see Toothless get a mate and save his species? Okay, so now that that's out of the way, I really hope you enjoyed this story, please leave a comment and let me know what you think, it really means a lot to me when you share what you think, and it really helps with the stories. Anyway, signing off for now, Samantha Peace HeartStar. Peace out and keep spreading the Kingdom Hearts and How To Train Your Dragon love!
