chapter 1:
on the island of berk after a harsh and heavy winter they felt the warmth of the sun and the island lost its blanket of snow. The people and dragons worked and Hiccup and the hairy hooligans had awoke and took the skies meeting each other on the beach on their day off.
They had gathered information on the dragons that lived near the isle of berk and as far out to the dragons also found no sign of the escaped Dagur the deranged who's become more deranged then before his three year lock up.
Hiccup had the idea to have the day off but instead of him fallowing his own idea. He chose to examine the dragons eye in hopes of unlocking anymore of its hidden secrets.
That is until a golden haired shield maiden snatched it from his clutches like her Nadder who hungered for chicken. He looked up to see her in chest bindings and leather shorts. she smiling confidently she put the dragons eye behind her and kept it out of his reach looking down at him in his brown leather shorts.
She tried her hardest not to blush looking at her friends slight muscles shinning in the sun light. He saw her hair glowing in the sun and saw her hair glowing in the sun.
He looked to her and said "Astrid come let me have the dragons eye back".
She laughed and said " Hiccup when you said we should spend our day off relaxing on the beach; i think you ment also not busting mind over this dragons eye".
Hiccup laughed and he and toothless got up and joined the others knowing he wouldn't win an argument with the young Hofferson or her axe. They walked over to join the others for a day of relaxation.
Snotlout looked to Fishlegs as he saw his cousin walking over and said "you know what Fishlegs Hiccup needs to loosen up some".
Fishlegs always the quiet one never spoke ill of Hiccup since the day he defeated the red death and said "for once ill agree with you Snot".
Ruff and Tuff walked over and Tuff said "yeah we don't need another uptight Stoick ,Sphen still cusses when the chief walks by".
that's when Snotlout got an idea "hey isn't Hiccups birthday tomorrow?".
Everyone excluding Astrid and Hiccup nodded and Snotlout walked over to Hookfang and pulled out a rather large whine skin. Ruff , Tuff and FishLegs were amazed and Fishlegs walked over to Snotlout.
He looked at the whine skin and said "umm Snotlout isn't this one of your dads?".
Snotlout gave a big smile and said "yep pops has so many of these lying around in storage he wont miss this one , I think we should celebrate what do you guys think?".
Tuff looked at it and said "Great Loki how much can that hold Snotlout?".
Snotlout looked to the group and said "enough to satisfy at least two Hookfang's".
Ruff looked to Snotlout and said "were only eighteen you seriously gonna give Hiccup whine?".
Snotlout laughed and said "no way not even i'm that crazy its probably one filled with water, Ill just tell Hiccup its whine".
Hiccup and Astrid walked over and Snotlout hid the whine skin. Hiccup and Astrid shrugged not wanting to know what Snotlout was up to decided to go for a swim.
After hours of fun in the water Hiccup and Astrid and the rest of the group laid on the beach with their dragons. When suddenly they heard fishlegs stomach growl and they laughed cause they all started to feel hungry.
Hiccup sat up and said "ok guys why don't we stop for some lunch Astrid and i will grab fish , while you guys make a fire so we can cook it".
They all nodded and Astrid and Hiccup flew off with their dragons while the others built up on wood and waited. Astrid and hiccup raced on their dragons the guests of wind blowing through their hair. They stopped out far in the middle of the ocean Astrid reached down into the saddle bag pulling out a large net she took one half and threw the other to Hiccup,
The dragons dived down and cut through the waters below and resurfaced with a gathering of fish big enough to fill the their stomachs and the other riders and dragons back on the beach. They flew back to the beach with their catch and everyone was set up on the beach. Toothless and Stormfly touched down on the beach and Astrid grabbed a couple of fist and threw one to each dragon.
Hiccup piled the wood in a small pile and signaled Toothless to light it. His Nightfury took aim and spat a small flame on the pile and the fire lit. While everyone else ate their fish Snotlout grabbed the whine skin and dragged it over by the fire.
Hiccup gave his cousin a concerned look and said "Snotlout is that ... is that what i think it is".
Snotlout smiled and said "sure is cous and a bunch of think you need to loosen up before your like Stoick".
He passed it over to Hiccup and he took it from his cousin and looked to the group. Thinking did they all think he didn't know how to loosen up. Everyone stared at the Viking teen wondering what he was gonna say.
Hiccup took a deep breath and said "do you all really think i need to loosen up?".
Snotlout, the twins nodded and Fishlegs and yes even Astrid avoided Hiccups gaze and he was shocked. He looked at the whine skin in hand and thought one drinks not gonna hurt.
He looked to the group and said "okay if you all think i need to loosen up watch this".
He lifted the whine skin to his mouth and he started to drink. Snotlout and the twins cheered and Snotlout lifted the whine skin higher so Hiccup could have a bigger drink. Hiccup chugged down a lot and the twins cheered him on see him drink like the adults. Astrid was surprised and thought that this was not going to end well as did Fishlegs thought the same now regretting agreeing with Snotlout.
Snotlout lowered the skin and Hiccup wiped his mouth and started to feel light headed. He was about to fall back when Astrid caught him and helped him sit down. He sat up straight but then leaned and fell laying his head on Astrid's shoulder.
She looked to a surprised Snotlout and said "what was it that Snotlout?".
Snotlout scratched the back of his head and said "isnt it just water come on hes not drunk , he probably found out its just water and hes just messing with us".
Astrid gabbed the Whine skin and she took a smell from the Whine skin and a shocked expression grew on her face. Specially when Hiccup tried to stand up but he almost fell but she quickly grabbed him.
Hiccup looked to her and smiled and whispered into Astrid's ear "anyone tell you , you look like my friend Astrid shes really beautiful but shhh don't tell her i said that she might punch me".
Astrid's face became red and her heart raced with excitement but then she got angry and shot a glare at Snotlout looking at him like she was going to use him for target practice. Snotlout Jumped to his feet and raced over to his cousin and Astrid.
Snotlout grabbed the whine skin and he took a sniff from the whine skin and he looked as if a speed stinger stung him in the ass. He dropped the skin and sat down putting his hand over his face.
Fishlegs looked to Snotlout and said "Snotlout what is it , its just water right?".
Snotlout wiped his face with his hand and said "that wasn't water that was really whine and now my cousin is drunk, My father and Stoick are both gonna light me up worse then Hookfang".
Astrid became angry and lowered the drunken Hiccup to the ground and said "no there not Snotlout CAUSE WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU THERE WONT BE ANYTHING LEFT".
Astrid ran over only to be stopped by Fishlegs who did his best to restrain her Snotlout took steps back fearing Astrid would get loose. He thought thank Odin she was further from her axe then he was of his dragon. Hiccup picked up the whine skin and was Seen by Fishlegs.
Fishlegs struggling to hold Astrid said "Tuff take the whine skin from Hiccup and Ruff help i don't know how long i can hold Astrid".
Tuff ran over and tried to grab the Whine skin from Hiccup,Tuffnut tried his best but Hiccup kicked Tuff in the shin with his prosthetic leg.
Tuffnut while rubbing his leg said "Oww! man hey Hiccup give me that Whine skin you've had enough now give it here".
Tuffnut tackled Hiccup and stole the whine skin away and ran over and handed it to fought hard to loosen Fishlegs grip but he remained strong and Fishlegs looked to the scared Snotlout. Ruffnut helped hold Astrid and made sure she couldn't grab a weapon that was close in reach.
Fishlegs getting a better hold of the raging Shield maiden said "Snotlout as much as you should get the thrashing Astrid has in stored for you, (grunts) think of a way to sober up Hiccup before your worse off then you are now".
Astrid started kicking Ruffnut and Fishlegs was seeing Astrid was not tiring anytime soon he pulled the feisty Astrid over to the beach and sat her down next to the drunken Hiccup.
She jumped up and Fishlegs stopped her and said "hold on Astrid calm down as much as watching you beat Snotlout would make us laugh right now we need a sober Hiccup , before an angry Stoick the vast reminds us why he nicknamed his dragon Skullcrusher".
Astrid took a breath and calmed down and said "your right Fish help me get him up again".
