So this is a story about my favorite animated movie. I must say i know this movie a little to well. So well infact I cannot watch it with any of my friends because I am that annoying person who says the lines out loud along with the characters on screen. Anyway I hope you like it. If you do, leave a comment telling me why you liked it. If you don't like it. Leave me a comment telling me why you don't. I hope you do like it though.
"How in Thor's name do you misplace a dragon!" the crazy blonde next to me asked, not really asking for an answer. Its funny. I remember asking myself the same question when I had first hit Toothless with my dragon capturing contraption. After searching for him for what felt like hours i had almost given up. Lucky enough a branch I had hit out of the way as i thought this came back and hit me in the face, pointing out Toothless's trail of distruction. Maybe it hadn't been so lucky,because that event is what caused the situation I am in now.
"Oh, I don't know Astrid. Maybe it's one of Gobber's Sock Trolls who decided he wanted more from life than a cave full of stolen left socks." i spat back. we where running for our lives although we where not in any real danger. "Maybe if you stop trying to blame everything on me, we could actually outrun Snotlout this time.
I guess you could call what we where doing "playing tag" if tag consisted of a week long match between three teams and each team had a dragon at there disposal. Then, yes, we where playing tag. "Why?" you may ask. Because the Winning team gets to sit by for a full year while the other teams get to alternate every week as the stable cleaners. the dragon stable cleaners. Dosn't sound to pleasant, right? Well it isn't. Trust me. I speak from experiance. Since the Viking and Dragon war has ended, my friends and i have been in charge of the dragons with a little help from Gobber, the blacksmith. He claims that because he only has two of his actual limbs left and is older than all of us, he dosn't have to do any of the dirty work. that means stable cleaning is left to us teens. Because our usual system for the cleaning schedule has failed multiple times, because we never really sat down to make one up, we decided that the only way to split up the work is to conduct a friendly ( and by friendly i maen by no means friendly) game of skills.
Thats how Astrid and I ended up running through the woods at full speed being presued by Snotlout and Ruffnut on Snotlout's dragon Hookfang. The best part (and by best i do mean the worst, sarcasm, you've got to love it) is that our only means of escape, my dragon Toothless, was nowhere to be found.
"This wouldn't of happened if we had used Stormfly. Unlike your dragon, she doesn't have the attention spand of Tuffnut."Astrid stated. She wasn't going to give up this fight anytime soon. Even if it meant losing the game.
"Oh, just keep running!" I sighed and we picked up speed. Thankfully the forest was very dense here so Snotlout and Ruffnut couldn't get a clear shot at us. Unfortunatly, it was also so dense that we couldnt see the cliff until we where almost right on it. Astrid had been in front of me and hadn't stopped quite soon enough. Her feet where right at the edge and she began to loose her balance and tottle forwards. I got to her right one time. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her back from the edge just as she lost her footing.
"Let go of me! I had it covered!" she yelled at me as she pulled away from me. Just then, Hookfang made it over the trees and we could see Snotlout's and Ruffnut's victorious smirks on there faces.
"I was hoping my brother would lose first. but you to are such easy targets." Ruffnut chortled. "Out on the first day too. How sad."
"Yeah, like, we haden't even made it into the first ten minutes before we saw you too. It's like you're not even trying." Snotlout added. " Hookfang, hit them with all you're worth."
As the dragon prepared to fire, i saw a black shape streaking towards us at a breakneck speed. I knew what i had to do. "Well," I said, "not that we weren't having any fun but..." i grabbed Astrid around the waist again and jumped of the edge of the cliff.
Haha a literal cliff hanger...kind of
I hope you enjoyed it!
