I am somewhat stalled on French Connection. Guys, tell them how stalled I am.

Nagel: Good Lord, how stuck are you

Danny: Stuck.

Rusty: Stalled really.

Danny: Stuck.*

There you go, thanks guys. This means I need to alleviate my brain of some other ideas it has before I can continue. This story is, I guess, something similar to I'm Gleeking Out, but with less emphasis on Glee Club, and with more emphasis on the part where Hiccup is supposed to be a "computer hacker extraordinaire". Also, I don't own How to Train Your Dragon.

So, without any gilding the lily let me introduce:

Hacker Couple

Chapter One: The Warning

In a basement room of a standard two story home of Californian suburbia, a young woman sits in darkness at a desk, bathed in the soft glow of a computer screen softly chuckling as she frantically clicks away into the early hours of the morning. A light appears from the top of the stairs as the door opens and a woman calls down, "Gladwyne, its two o'clock and you've got school tomorrow, go to bed already."

The girl cringed and sighed, "Mom, I'm Thorsdotter now, and I can't go to bed cuz I'm just about through this guy's security." She typed some more, hoping the light would go out. Instead, the lights for her bedroom came on and she heard her mother come down the stairs and walk over to the desk. "You keep hacking people and someone is going to get you arrested one of these days."

"More likely she'll get vanished to a smut bar in Mexico where she'll spend the rest of her life taking donkeys up the ass." A strange voice says through the computer speakers, "And let me assure you, it will be very easy to do that. Especially now that I have practice."

Gladwyne switched her typing efforts over to security programs and glanced at the speaker, "You sound awfully familiar, you know that?"

A chuckling came over the line, "Forgive me, Thorsdotter, I am Tryph, and I am the arch mage you are trying to hack tonight. Or do you prefer Gladwyne Thorston, Ruffnut to your friends." The voice chuckled again, "Oh but you and your friends probably don't even know I exist, aside from needing to slam someone into a wall or flushing their heads down the toilet of course. I still need to get your brother back for that one. But really, other than destroying me to inflate your undersized sense of self-worth, I am invisible to you."

Here there is a sort of strangled coughing sound that makes the two women flinch. "Sorry, asthma." Tryph says, and again chuckles, "Invisible. I never overtly excel at anything, and I never make any obvious mistakes big enough to get in trouble. And maybe because of that, your kind rarely makes me a target. By your kind, of course, I mean two bit street thugs with delusions of adequacy and aspirations beyond your station. A point proven by you trying to hack someone clearly beyond you."

Gladwyne snorted at this, "So you're a geek loser that jerks off to operator's manuals cuz he can't get laid. And then you complain when some cool, popular kid shoves you around cuz they know you won't do anything. Please, that's just sad." She launched a speedy trace program she had written

"Perhaps." The voice concedes. "But tell me, Mrs. Thorston, how does it feel knowing this is how your daughter turned out? Tell me how it feels knowing your daughter enjoys torturing people whose only crime is falling outside the criteria for 'socially acceptable'. But I am tired now and, seeing as we have school soon, I will be leaving you with this clue to who I am. Tryph is a slang term for Triple H, which happens to be my initials, three h's all in a row. And I bid you good night, and I hope to see you soon."

With that, the entire hardware system shut down and Gladwyne sighed in defeat. "Lost the trace, damn." She looked over to her mother, who was glowering, "Tortures people. You better have a good explanation for that one young lady." The elder Thorston woman grabs her daughter by the ear and drags her out of the basement into the kitchen.

Just a teaser folks and yes that first part was from Ocean's Thirteen. I love that movie. But what I don't get is why they didn't just hack Willie Banks' account and empty it to a thousand others or something. Probably because it wouldn't make a very good movie, I guess. So Ruffnut won't be joining Glee Club, but Hiccup will still be in it, and they will eventually hack the accounts and files of everyone at their high school. Enjoy.
