A/N: I'm back and fully recharged. I started full time at me new job and am loving life. I have had this idea in my head for a very long time and through a few changes here in the beginning I have a pretty good idea of what I am building towards. Now first bit of business, this is a MODERN STORY. Good now that is out of the way second piece of business, there will be TONS of stuff referenced in this story, from songs to WWE themes events, I own none of them. Third, the names of all the opposing wrestles are just conjured from thin air and don't have any hidden meaning or modern names for characters from the books, cartoon series, or movies. Fourth, this is a wrestling story so there will obviously be tons of wrestling moves, I will try to explain them as best I can, tell me if I'm not being clear enough and I will do better. Lastly, I was a wrestler myself so these matches are ones that I have seen and been in myself. I know selfless reliving... but I digress. Anyway on with the show, please leave some reviews I read them all and do enjoy them.
Character list:
Ashley Hofferson- Astrid
Rebecca Thorston- Ruffnut
Heather Bazerk- Heather
Hayden Haddock- Hiccup
Steven Jorgenson- Snotlout
Trevor Thorston- Tuffnut
Freddy Ingerman- Fishlegs
Those are really the only people I can think of right now. Any other characters that will be added will be named before the chapter starts, and to get this out of the way... there will not be dragons in this story. I think that is it for now, I have a few chapters saved up so I will have daily updates for a few days. Have fun and leave a review.
To my lovely Fiancee who is away for her last semester of college, I love you and hope you enjoy ;).
Your Friendly Neighborhood Mexican ;p

October, 17th, 2019
Ashley Hofferson was sitting in the lunch room at Berk High school going over a few notes in a last minute study session before her test next class period. Ashley was 17 years old, had long blond braided hair, ocean blue eyes and was a feisty 5 feet 8 inches who didn't take crap from anyone. She was softball player at Berk High but seeing as it was the middle of October the season had long since ended thus allowing her to focus on school. Her face buried in her notebook she never noticed her two friends take a seat right across from her.
Rebecca 'Ruffnut' Thorston the female half of the schools most rowdy set of twins. She had long blond hair much like Ashley same with her blue eyes to match, was 17 as well, but unlike Ashley she was a few inches taller at 5 feet 10 inches and kept her hair in twin braids down her back. Heather Bazerk a transfer student who had shown up four years prior as a freshman and quickly became friends with both Ashley and Rebecca. Heather had long jet black hair that she tended to let cascade down her back and a pair of emerald green eyes and was 17 as well. The pair of females put their trays down at the table and waited for their friend to acknowledge them. After several moments on continued silence from their friend with nothing but the hustle and bustle of the lunch room as background noise, Ruff quickly had enough. With a massive grin she nudged Heather and nodded her head towards the unsuspecting Ashley. With a quiet chuckle and a shake of her head Heather let her friend have her fun as she sat back to watch the show.
"HEY ASHLEY!" Ruff shouted as she slammed her hands on to table inches away from Ashley's notebook.
The sudden shout and shock from Ruff's outburst set Ashley's hands flying up in the air, her head snapped up which brought the rest of her body with her as her chair kicked itself away from her smacked down to floor. Her eyes were wide with shock and embarrassment as soon as she realized the entire lunch room had come to a halt and was staring at her. Brow furrowing and fists clenching she angrily picked up her chair and slammed it back down in place before looking out at the lunch room.
"What are you all looking at?!" She growled out.
Her murderous stare and threatening voice were all it took for the lunch to kick start back into motion as the students continued on with their day. A few hushed whispers could be heard about the incident but nothing more was heard as Ashley took her seat and glared a hole right through Rebecca who was doubled over in laughter. Ashley shifted her gaze back over to Heather who was quietly giggling all the same at her expense.
"What the hell was that for?" Ashley asked angrily at Rebecca.
It took several moments for her friend to regain the proper use of her voice as the last of her laughter died down and she had to wipe a few tears away from her cheeks.
"Well we had been sitting here for a few moments and you had your face buried in you notebook, I had to get your attention somehow." Rebecca replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Ashley just started at her like she was crazy before shifting her gaze over to Heather who just smiled and shrugged her shoulders at her.
"And you just allowed her to do that." Ashley deadpanned at her.
Again Heather just shrugged her shoulders and dug into her tray before responding.
"I wanted to see what would happen and she did not disappoint. Plus your reaction was priceless I'm sure you will be the talk of the school today." Heather said with a cheeky smile.
Ashley groaned as she flung her head down onto the table in defeat at the realization that the school would be talking about her embarrassing incident. She peeked her head up to look at her supposed friends who were quietly laughing at her dismay.
"Oh sure laugh it up. I thought you guys were my friends." Ashley groaned out.
"We are and this is what friends do, embarrass each other every now and then, laugh at their expense and then lift them up by reassuring them that by tomorrow everybody will have moved on to the next embarrassing story." Heather repeated in sagely manner.
Ashley looked at her for a brief moment before lifting her head up off the table and cracking her neck before taking a deep breath. She looked back down at her notebook before sighing and pushing it to the side. She pulled up her own tray which she had been neglecting and began to dig in just like her friends. With the friends now able to enjoy their meal Ashley broke the comfortable silence.
"So what are you guys up to?" Ashley asked with genuine interest.
"Not much just trying to pass the time until our next class." Rebecca stated.
"But we all three have the next class together." Ashley questioned more than stated.
"And we all have a test as well so why aren't you guys cramming to study like me." She finished.
Both of her friends both just shrugged and continued to eat away at their trays without sparing her a second glance. Ashley just stared in confusion at the both of them. This test was supposed to kick their ass and they were treating it like it was a just a run of the mill quiz. Her friends must have noticed her befuddled look as they both laughed at her.
"I'm prepared enough as it is Ashley and stressing about it now moments before the test will only serve to make it worse than it actually is. So I'm relaxing and know that by this point in time I will either know it or not and just roll with it." Heather replied calmly.
"And I flat out just don't care enough to worry about it so I will go with what Heather said." Rebecca replied.
Ashley looked between her two friends and then stared back down at her notebook, with a sigh she closed it up and put away into her backpack looked back up at her friends. A great deal of tension seemed to have been lifted off her shoulders and features on her face eased away giving her a more relaxed look.
"Thanks Heather I think I needed that. I don't know where you came up with that but it makes a lot of sense. Now I wonder how many tests I would have done better on if I had just relaxed a few moments before hand instead of stressing out about it." She said with a smile.
"Hey, what about what I said." Rebecca complained.
"Oh sorry I just didn't care enough to acknowledge your comment." Ashley replied back with a very cheeky smile.
"Thanks Ashley feeling the love." Rebecca drawled out.
"Oh don't worry about that I still owe you for scaring the shit out of me earlier. Trust me if you aren't feeling the love now you will in the future." Ashley replied back with an evil grin.
"Great I've created a monster." She mumbled out.
Ashley and Heather burst out laughing at their friend's dismay as they passed the time bantering back and forth until the bell rang signaling that there was five minutes until the start of the next class period. The trio got up from the table and put their trays away before heading off to their next class and the supposed test from hell.
Heather's advice had worked wonders for Ashley as the relaxing lunch seemed to have rebooted her brain and gave her confidence in taking the test. She flew through the test and answered every question as best she could and didn't stop to fret over ones that confused her. She was surprised to hear someone had finished before her and was out the door before she could even get a glance at who it was. She finished her test and handed it and proceeded to wait out in the hallway for her two friends.
Around 20 minutes passed before they both strolled out of the classroom to find Ashley playing a game on her phone. Ashley looked up at the sound of their footsteps and stood up from the floor to greet them.
"Damn I thought we could get you a second time." Rebecca teased her.
"In your dreams Rebecca." Ashley replied smugly.
"No one gets me twice." She finished off as she crossed her arms confidently.
"We will see about that." Rebecca stated with a smug grin of her own.
"Alright you two knock it off, you can have your pissing contest later for now we still have about ten minutes to kill before out next class so let's head to the library for a bit." Heather suggested.
Ashley and Rebecca both deadpanned a look at her before agreeing and headed off in the direction of the library. As they were walking Ashley remembered to ask them a question that had been gnawing at her since she had finished her test.
"Hey did you guys catch who ever handed in their test first?" She asked.
"Why feeling threatened that someone finished before you?" Heather teased.
"Ha Ha, no I was just curious. I mean I flew threw that test and just wanted to see if you guys saw who finished their test it was must have been record time." She continued.
"I think it was the Haddock kid. Dude is such a geek I don't think I have seen the kid do anything but go to school and go home. I don't even know if he has any friends, seems like such a loner and a loser." Rebecca replied.
"Be nice Rebecca you don't know anything about him. Just because you don't see him doing anything doesn't mean he does nothing." Heather scolded her friend.
Ashley nodded along with Heather as she got lost in her own thoughts. She had heard the name Haddock before but couldn't quite place where she had heard it. Lost in her train of thought it took Heather snapping her fingers in front of her to snap her out of it.
"Huh, what?" Ashley said looking around confused.
"You alright there Ashley?" Heather asked.
"Yeah just something about that name sounds familiar, can't quite place it though." She answered honestly.
"What sounds familiar about it?" Rebecca asked.
"I'm not sure, but I feel like I have heard it before but nothing comes to mind." Ashley answered.
"Well I'm sure that it will either come to you or just pass on." Heather replied back.
"Yeah I guess you are right. So did you guys talk about anything while I was lost in space?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah actually, I was saying that the wrestling season starts tonight with a home duel against the Meatheads. I suggested that we go and check out all the man candy." Rebecca said with a wink.
"Ugh why would we go to that, none of us know the first thing about wrestling, and we wouldn't understand a thing about what was going on." Ashley responded.
"Who cares about that, we are there to see a bunch of hot, big, and sweaty men in skin tight singlets try to throw each other across a mat in a dark room. What is not to like?" Rebecca exclaimed.
"I keep forgetting that there is a reason why your nick name is 'Ruff' and only you would think that is hot." Ashley responded.
"I don't know it sounds like fun, besides we could at least support our school. Besides it is not like we have anything else going on tonight anyway, plus it is our senior year we should try a few things that we haven't done before." Heather interjected.
Ashley could see the hopeful glint in her friend's eyes which told her that they were already going no matter what she said. It would just be a matter of if she went on her own or if her friends came to her house later and dragged her there. With a sigh Ashley turned to her friends and gave in.
"Alright fine I can already tell that you guys have made up your mind. So what time does it start?" She asked.
"I heard 7 tonight. Apparently our team has this kick ass entrance that is to die for." Rebecca stated excitedly.
"Look if you just want to ogle the wrestlers all you have to do is say so." Heather replied.
"Hey that is just a nice bonus. Besides maybe we can finally get Ashley here interested in a man finally." Rebecca laughed.
"Why are you so determined to try and play matchmaker with me?" Ashley sighed out.
"Eh don't worry about it. I find it fun and that is all you need to know, you just need to relax and have a bit of fun and indulge me for once." Rebecca replied.
"Uggg if I agree to THINK about it will you stop pestering me." Ashley groaned out.
"I will take what I can get. We will pick you up around 6:00 apparently these things fill up pretty fast and if we want to get good seats we need to arrive early." Rebecca informed the pair.
"I'll be ready." Heather replied.
"I don't really have a choice but I'll be waiting for you guys." Ashley replied back.
"Oh come on now, it will be fun you will see." Rebecca said as she slung her arms around Ashely and Heather as they headed off to their next class. Ashley was certainly hoping that it would be.
A/N: If anybody got the WhatCulture/Cultaholic reference you are very good person in deed. Leave a review and see you all tomorrow. I'm interested to see how this will come off.
