A/N: wow… 5 minutes after posting this and I've already revived 2 reviews… AWSOME! :D keep 'em coming guys!
Well I've decided to make it so that I pick the one I like the most from all the reviews and not just the first one, just so you guys don't feel left out!
I got an interesting review from RedRubyRaven which I didn't really get at first but since she dared me to do it I guess I must! :D so this chapter is on Hiccup and Astrid getting lost and Astrid begins to show some of her dark side, mhwahahahaha! Yeah sorry about that…
Disclaimer: mhwahahahahaha! (that means no…)
Lost:
"Your being awfully quiet." Said Astrid. "I'm not quiet I'm just thinking."
"About what?"
"um… stuff…"
"Hiccup?"
"Yeah."
"Where are we?"
"In a forest."
"Where in the forest?"
"Well… I have a feeling that's a pine tree over there…"
"Hiccup if you say we're lost I swear that I'll kill you!"
"Okay, we're not lost."
"Hiccup!"
"What! What do you want from me!"
The younger boy huffed indignantly and returned his attention back to his crudely drawn map ignoring the blonde girl beside him, much to her annoyance. Suddenly her eyes turned slightly darker and a frown creased her brow. "Hiccup?"
"What now?"
"That maps upside down..." Hiccup stared sheepishly at the rough sketch he held in his hands before hurriedly closing it and chucking it over his shoulder. "Map? What map?" Astrid glared at him, it was the glare you'd expect to see from a particularly grumpy lioness guarding her cubs, a threatening scowl as if she were trying to strangle him with her eyes alone. Hiccup suddenly realised a bit too late that maybe that wasn't the best thing to say to Astrid especially when she'd just been dragged round a forest by an idiot with an upside down map. "Err… n-now Astrid no need to get angry." Hiccup murmured stumbling backwards as she drew her razor sharp axe. Astrid lunged, the sharp silver blade barely missing the red-heads neck. Hiccup knew that Astrid would never actually hurt him, these were just warning shots, but she might give him a few minor injuries so he quickly dodged behind a small tree.
"Now, now Astrid, remember what we talked about, about your blood pressure!" Hiccup twittered nervously as Astrid swung blow after blow at the poor tree who briefly wondered, (as trees do) what it did in its short lonely life to deserve such violence, for trees are rather lonely things.
"I need to vent." Muttered Astrid after moment and she stalked around the tree (which happened to be an oak) and grabbed Hiccup by the arm. She then strode off at such a rapid pace that Hiccup actually succeeded in tripping over air, which is defiantly an achievement in itself. They soon reached a small stream, cool clear water bubbled over smooth stones gurgling happily as it flowed past the teens. The sight of this seemed to calm Astrid and she dropped Hiccup's arm.
A little way up the stream a fisherman sat nursing his line and staring intently at the rippling waters. Now this was an odd site for several reasons, one being that this man was quite obviously NOT a Viking, and two being that fishermen were not normally seen fishing in streams due to the lack of fish since the tiny little bubbling brook probably couldn't even support the life of a water flea.
"Excuse me sir, but I must ask you to draw your sword." Astrid called grandly, feeling slight pride at the sound of power in her voice she continued in this tone. "I cannot rest till you are cleaved in twain!" alas, maybe she got a little carried away. The fisherman frowned, glanced at Hiccup and said in a jaunty northern accent, "Is that right? 'Cleaved'?"
"I thought it was 'clove'," Hiccup said pensively. "Oh, I don't fancy that," protested the fisherman. "It sounds like part of a recipe. Is it 'cleaven', maybe?"
"Look," Hiccup said. "You say 'cloven', don't you? Like 'cloven hoof'? So it must be 'clove."
Astrid stood awkwardly to one side. Clearly no one had ever told her what to do when a challenge was ignored.
"Hold on," the fisherman said suddenly, "what about 'cleft'?" Hiccup nodded dubiously. "Maybe. What do you think of 'clave'?"
Astrid was beginning to get impatient with this ridiculous banter. "Look it doesn't matter!" she argued, "Will you fight me, fisherman?"
"Sure thing m'lady, but who will watch my fishing line." replied the fisherman. "I'll watch you line!" Hiccup yelled knowing full well what would happen if Astrid didn't vent her anger. "Very kind of you." The fisherman murmured groaning as he heaved himself to his feet. "Pass me a sword lass!" this was directed to Astrid who wordlessly chucked him her spare. The fight began, Hiccup was surprised to learn that the fisherman was rather good and left even Astrid puffing and panting for breath, Astrid must have noticed this too as she began to get angrier and angrier, soon she was literally smashing her sword into his with no regard for safety.
Hiccup began to get bored watching Astrid lose and turned his attention to the fishing line, suddenly it began to bob. He's got a bite! Hiccup thought before having a miniature panic over what to do as it occurred to him that he'd never actually caught a fish before. Hiccup gripped the fishing rod with both hands and pulled and pulled, but the fish (who had once swum up a waterfall in South America) was feeling rebellious and it also pulled and pulled. Feeling himself sliding forward, Hiccup dug his heels into the soft dirt and pulled with all his might. The enormous brown speckled fish gave in and shot out the water in such a twisting, turning manner that anyone would have thought he'd been practising the trick all his life. It shot past Hiccup, past three large ash trees and, as if it had been aimed, smacked Astrid in the back of the head.
Now you must remember that Astrid wasn't used to losing, especially to a fisherman, so she had slowly but surely during the fight worked herself up into a state, so please don't blame her for what she did next. Astrid spun round, nearly losing her balance, and neatly cut the very much alive fish in halve with her sword while it was still in mid-air. The fisherman exploded.
"Look what you've done, deuce it!" He exclaimed, irate. "You've gone and clefted my dinner!"
"I'm sorry I… I didn't see what it was!" stammered Astrid turning red. "that makes no difference!" the fisherman snapped. "It's not very good to go round fighting a fish, now, is it!"
"I said I was sorry!" Astrid argued.
"Look here," interposed Hiccup, stepping between the two before they started another fight, as he did he felt his sense of humour stir. "Suppose we stop all this at once. Astrid you've already apologized for clooving this fish. Now let's make peace!"
The fisherman seemed to calm down at this but still looked angry so Hiccup and Astrid hurried away in what Hiccup thought was the general direction of Berk.
"You know Hiccup if I hadn't been interrupted by that trout I think I could have won!" Astrid chirped. It was going to be a long journey.
Line break
Ok um… I'm gonna do one more! Just because I can, also the minute I read this review I was like 'wow I should do that' anyway this is just a quick one because I don't have much room, my friend gave me the plot and wrote about half of this next one so any credit or flames go to her! This is from jasmineD799 it's just a bit of hiccupXtoothless friendship fluff! FRIENDSHIP! Sorry just reminding people out there that I don't do dragonrider-cest or toothcup or whatever you guys call it… this is just a little deleted secne from the movie (what happened in the cove when we weren't watching…?)
Goosebumps:
Hiccup huffed angrily and slumped against a rock watching the dragon that had caused him such irritation with a look of annoyance. Said dragon was curled up under a small sapling, the only form of shade in the cove that strained against the late afternoon sun that had sprung out earlier that morning during Berk's sudden heat wave, heat wave meaning not as cold and wet as normal.
All morning and half the afternoon Hiccup had been following the dragon around like some sort of lost puppy trying to understand the creature a little more or even, on some suicidal attempts, he had tried to touch it. The dragon, Toothless as he was now officially named, had thought the whole thing a tremendously fun game and had taken great delight in sprinting off in the opposite direction every time Hiccup came within reaching distance.
"Stupid dragon!" Hiccup muttered, walking off in the opposite direction of Toothless. On instinct Hiccup glanced back at the great black dragon lazing in the shade. "What are you worrying about," he muttered to himself kicking a pebble, "he can't hear you, and even if he could he wouldn't be able to understand you!" even so he continued to glance nervously behind him. Toothless looked up as if sensing some bad remark was being made about him and glared warningly at Hiccup.
Hiccup started and nervously called to him, "Nothing Toothless just a bit tired, I think I'll head back!" Toothless lowered his head and closed his eyes. 'Why am I talking to it as if it's a person' Hiccup briefly thought but shrugged and turned to look at Toothless, and making sure he was defiantly asleep muttered to himself, "Not like you, you overgrown lizard, sleeping all day then suddenly leaping up with magical energy the minute anyone wants anything from you. You're just a fat lazy snake-on-legs."
This probably wasn't the best thing to say as Toothless, who had looked like he was sleeping so soundly, suddenly snapped open his eyes and gave Hiccup a ferocious glare. Hiccup barely took two more steps before Toothless' long black, muscular tail wrapped round his waist and lifted him clean off the ground. Hiccup made a choking noise halfway between a terrified squeak and a strangled yelp as the ground suddenly disappeared from underneath him. "I'm sorry- I'm sorry!" he stammered struggling in the creatures grasp. "You're not a useless reptile, you're a-an awesome, amazing dragon." Hiccup rambled quickly, flailing his legs in the air in a slightly helpless way.
Toothless' body rippled in a low growl as he adjusted the boy in his tight grip.
"Can't breathe… need air…" Hiccup gasped.
Toothless trotted over to the lake and held Hiccup high above the water. Hiccup's eyes widened and he resumed his air kicking with renewed force. He barely had time to think 'maybe this wasn't such a good idea' before Toothless released his waist from his crushing grasp.
The cold got to Hiccup before he actually realised he'd hit the water. He broke the surface and immediately made for the bank where he lay in the shallows for a while till he'd recovered his breath.
Toothless watched with amusement as Hiccup dragged himself up onto the bank, then with growing concern as the small Viking sat hunched on the grass shivering violently. Toothless hadn't meant to hurt the human, just scare him, but humans were so fragile it was a wonder they hadn't died out. Toothless flattened his ears back against his head and inched forward. He sniffed the tiny boy's pale, trembling arm. Something was wrong. It was covered in strange lumps.
Hiccup glanced at him. "W-what's the m-matter with y-you?" he asked.
Toothless stared at him. Did the Viking not know something was seriously wrong with him! He could be dying! Toothless panicked. He didn't want the human to die on him, but what was he supposed to do? Maybe humans weren't meant to go to near water, the small lumps on his skin must be some weird reaction to the lake.
Eventually Hiccup solved the problem for him by stumbling home to his village, silently vowing never to provoke a dragon again unless he was absolutely sure he was asleep.
A/N: sorry I kind of changed your idea RedRubyRaven, guess I got carried away… my friend gave me with the plot of the second one so don't flame me! Flame her!
So remember I'm judging on whether I like the idea or not now so even if someones already sent an idea in it doesn't mean they've won!
I'll try to update on a regular basis but I have this thing called 'a life.' I really need to get rid of it. So anyway remember to review and favourite! Peace out!
This chapter was dedicated to RedRubyRaven, jasmine799 and my fridge, it always knows just what I feel like.
