In The Real World
Hello, and welcome to my first ever HTTYD fanfic! I thought a good start would be to write a fic where they come to life!... Again. I mean, I write this type of thing A TON. But this will be slightly different. This first chapter will be dedicated to learning about the human, real-life characters. I will be included. And you should know that until I learn more about this movie, I will not be posting the second chapter. Anyway, consider this a prologue.
I don't own HTTYD.
I awoke one Monday morning, to the sound of my alarm clock blaring. I groaned and smacked my hand on the clock, effectively silencing it.
I sighed and lifted myself so I was sitting upright, and stretched my arms into the air. I lifted my legs so they were stretched in front of me, releaving the tired feeling in my limbs.
That done, I got up and walked to my dresser, where my outfit for the day was hanging on a knob. A light blue polo and khaki skirt, as well as black velcro Skechers.
As soon as I finished getting dressed, I realized I had forgotten my glasses. I reached to the corner of my bedside table and grabbed them. They were purple plastic framed glasses, and were shaped into medium-sized rectangles.
When I had put them on, I darted out of my room, and my little shih tzu puppy, Echo was waiting right outside my door. I gave him a small pat on the head, and headed into the living room, then the kitchen, then the back bathroom. I snatched my brush and started to comb my light brown hair, and as usual there was that strand that just wouldn't stay down.
After I finally got my hair under control, I grabbed my toothbrush and began brushing.
When that was done, I headed out the front door and headed down the street to the bus stop. I paused at a particular house, when I saw my friend Victoria coming out.
Victoria is really nice, and she's always smiling. She's also a pretty good student, I mean we both take AP Algebra, and Enriched Louisiana History.
Anyway, she has brown hair that barely reaches her shoulders, and brown eyes. She sometimes complains that she's too short, but personally I think that us taller kids are just overgrown, and she's a normal size.
"Hey Tara!" Victoria called to me.
"Hi Victoria!" I responded. We walked up to the bus stop together, asking each other random questions.
"If you could either bring 'How To Train Your Dragon' to life, or go into it, which would you choose?" I asked. She thought a moment.
"If I went in, then people would never believe me if I said I did. If I bring them to life, though, then they'll HAVE to believe me... I choose to bring it to life" she answered. I nodded, it did make sense. After all, you'd want to tell people about it, right?
Just then the bus pulled up, and we got on, along with two other girls who were at the stop. Victoria and I plopped down in a seat in the middle of the bus, with me at the window seat.
...
By the time we made it to the school, I had about ten minutes to eat breakfast. Victoria didn't eat breakfast at school, so she went straight to the auditorium. I went through the line, and got my cinnamon roll and chocolate milk. For some odd reason the food they serve is always served in small portions, but I guess it didn't really matter, because I had eaten half a bagle today.
When I sat down, I started looking around the cafeteria. I spotted Blaire, another one of my friends, in the line. I waved at her, and she grinned and waved back.
Blaire is very sweet. She wears pink braces, and has extremely curly blonde hair down to her jaw. Her eyes are sky blue, and nearly every day she wears a white shirt and khaki pants. Except on Jean Day, on that day she wears her spirit shirt and blue jeans. Today was Monday, which meant she was in white shirt and khaki pants. I'd say she and Victoria are around the same size.
She, Victoria and I all sit together in Louisiana History, along with another girl named Molly.
Around two minutes after I had waved to her, Blaire came up to me and sat down, sitting her food in front of her.
"Hello, Tara!" Blaire said happily.
"Hi Blaire!" I returned the greeting. Then we began discussing this movie I had recommended to her.
"I watched it, and it was AMAZING. I never thought I'd like it, but I really did!" she giggled. I laughed.
"It really was cool. 'How To Train Your Dragon' is the greatest movie ever!" I declared. She smiled.
"True dat!" she laughed. We had a little giggle attack then, just as the bell rang. Since we both only had three minutes to make it to class, we picked up our remaining food and tossed it into a trash can, before heading to the staircase and going to our separate classes.
I went into my AP Algebra class, which was my first period. I headed to my desk, where my friend Kaitlyn was sitting across from me. Sydnee and Ashley weren't there, yet.
"Hello, Kaitlyn" I greeted my desk-mate. She waved, not even looking up from the book she was reading.
Kaitlyn is also extremely nice, and funny too. She has pink braces, and brown hair down to her shoulder blades. Her eyes are green. I think she's in between my height and Victoria's height, though I'm not really sure.
I glanced at the cover of her book. 'Al Capone Does My Shirts' We were having a test on that in fourth period, so no wonder she was reading. She probably wanted to make sure she could get a good grade, or something. I decided not to bother her, and pulled out my homework from the weekend.
About half a second before the bell rang, Sydnee and Ashley finally came running through the door. They sat down, Sydnee next to me and Ashley next to Kaitlyn.
Sydnee is really cool, and nice. She has long black hair and black eyes. She's about my height, but... I'm not gonna say she's fat, but she is larger than me. Not really obese, so don't get the wrong idea! (A/N Sydnee if you're reading this, I don't mean to insult you!)
Ashley has brownish-blonde hair, and green eyes. Her hair is short in the front, and in the back she has it down to her shoulder blades. She's my height and size, more or less.
The teacher called roll, and then we did the Class Work, which was basically not that hard. All we had to do was add and subtract some numbers, and my group was done before everyone else, which meant we could talk while the teacher helped the other kids.
"Sydnee, do you think it's possible to take a lizard, add bat wings, and make it like fifty times larger to create a dragon?" Ashley asked seriously. The reason she asked Sydnee was because the FIRST time we talked about crossing two animals, Sydnee started saying ridiculous stuff, like 'NO! You can't do that! NO!'
And ever since, we had liked messing with her and gene splicing.
"No! Dragons don't exist!" Sydnee whined, and the rest of us giggled.
The rest of class was spent working on number lines, until second period came.
Second period is the WORST, at least for me, because none of my friends are in that class. I think I'll skip over, to fourth period.
...
In fourth period, which is technically my fourth and fifth rolled into one, I plopped down in my seat. I sit one row down from the front, on the far right in the middle row.
Victoria sits one seat to the left, two rows down from me. I waved at her as I entered the classroom. She waved back.
Then, the bell rang, and Mrs. Green came in.
"Alright, everyone. Today I want half of you to read your reports to the class, and the other half will read them tomorrow" she stated. She called up half the boys and half the girls. I wasn't one of them, not that I minded. I'd rather check my finished report over tonight, than read a report with errors today.
Victoria got to read her report on myths, both current, like Bigfoot, and old, like Medusa.
Kaitlyn wrote a report on the effects of video games on the teenage mind. Sydnee's was similar, except hers was on movies.
And myself, even though I never read it to the class. I wrote about the myths on stars from ancient times. Some people used to believe they were spirits, others believed they were representations of the gods.
Anyway, I listened closely to the reports, and some of the stuff scarred me. Who writes about intestines, and adds pictures?!
Well, that's all that really happened that was interesting in the day. But soon, my days would be filled with excitement that could only be imagined... Until that night.
I was sitting outside, watching the stars. When suddenly, I saw a streak cross the sky. I had never seen a shooting star before, and I quickly thought of a wish.
"I wish How To Train Your Dragon would come to life!" I shouted to the skies, just quiet enough to not be heard. I watched the star disappear, before heading to bed.
And that's how it all started...
