"Okay. Project 'Fixing Nightfury's wings' is commencing." He announces to the group and the engine releases a series of revving sounds, answering Hiccup's observation.
"Let's go."
And The Nightfury set down the winding trails of Raven Point, the outcome of this trial unbeknownst to them all.
PRESENT TIME
Astrid, Snotlout, the twins, and Fishlegs are currently staring down the trails of Raven Point, their eyes intently fixed on the motorcycle that's racing with incredible speed.
"I can't believe that hunk of junk actually worked!" Snotlout exclaims and the rest of them slowly nod carrying disbelief.
"YEEAAHHH BABY!" They hear an exhilarated howl through the maze of trees.
Minutes passed and the jaws of the gang were still on the ground. Eventually The Nightfury skids to a stop beside them.
"WHOO DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? IT WORKED!"
They all snapped out of their trance and shouted things like
"WHOOP, FINALLY!"
or
"THANK THE GODS".
2 Days Later: At the race trails of Berk.
"Hiccup! That looks amazing"
Astrid was the first to make an observation on The Nightfury's paint job, everyone else was once again shocked.
"Thanks, Ast. Let's go for a ride then shall we?" Hiccup replies with a lop-sided grin plastered on his face.
"Just be careful with the observers" Astrid continues.
"Huh?"
"Astrid's right. Engineers have been trying to make an engine like this for decades, they'll be all over you once they find out who you are."
Fishlegs spoke up.
"Then just don't let them find out who you are" Ruffnut answers with a shrug.
"What? That's an awful answer sister, I hereby disown you!" Tuft exclaims planting his finger on her chest
"No actually, that's a great idea!" Hiccup answers his mind sparking with idea's and thoughts.
"Oh.. Welcome back to the family" Tuffnut reaches for Ruffnut for a hug but instead got stopped by her hand in his face.
"I'll just cover up my face so they don't know who I am!"
"Using what?" Astrid asks, her hand resting firm on her hip.
"You can use my ski-mask" Tuffnut replies passing a black ski-mask with cutouts for the eyes, nose, and mouth.
"Can I ask why you have a ski-mask?"
"Let's just say I'd rather not be busted when doing marvellous pranks."
Harvey now had the ski-mask and his helmet over the top and everyone else was already on their bike ready for a ride.
"Shut up already, let's go!" Astrid declares. And with that, they were speeding through the race tracks of Berk.
6.30 PM: At Astrid's Apartment
After 4 hours of intense riding at Berk Race Tracks, Harvey began to draw attention so he and Astrid bought some food and went back to her place. The night was closing in and it soon became dark, moonlight seeping through the dimly lit clouds that attempted to protect the dark.
"So there's a race on Saturday at Berk Tracks, the guys and I are going to compete in." Astrid began, a cheeky grin starting to emerge onto her face. Hiccup glanced up towards her, taking another bite of his meat-lovers pizza.
"Annddd so are you!" She finished. Hiccup quirked his eyebrow, his eyes presenting a hard look.
"Astrid, you know I don't compete! And besides I already, maybe, kind of checked and you were supposed to sign up by yesterday."
"But you did sign up yesterday" Her grin completely taking over her face.
"Seriously!"
Astrid laughed and retrieved the dirty dishes they were eating on.
"Yep and here's your chance to return the favour." She gestured to the dirty dishes and planted herself on her couch, basking in the comfort. Hiccup headed to the sink and rolled his eyes once out of her sight.
"Fine but I'm going to stay anonymous."
"Agreed, we already signed you up as an anonymous rider anyways."
And she drifted asleep, lifting the weight her eyelids carried.
Hey guys, hope you enjoyed the second chapter of Road's to Love.
Really sorry about how short it is, I'm really busy at the moment. I will be away for the next 3 days without wifi so the third chapter will be up around Friday/Saturday give or take.
Feedback/constructive criticism is appreciated.
Thanks for reading and have a good day!
