WOW! I got a lot of reviews! I'm glad you all liked the first chapter. Well here's chapter two! And it's about twice as long as the last chapter. Now there are some anonymous reviews I need to reply to here.

Interested- I'm only on the fourth chapter of "How to Speak Dragonese" which I do believe is the book Camicazi first appears in. So instead of making you guys wait until I finish the book, I created an O.C. that is introduced in this chapter.

toothless 23- This is a T-rated fanfic that's going to be bumped up to M for later chapters because it's based on an R-rated movie. So kids shouldn't be reading this because there will be more cussing. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Also, the events in this chapter are based on the festival from the first book. I just added the sailing contest because I thought that was a nice way for our group to get away from the crowds.

Chapter Two: Double Date Surprise

The one thing Hiccup never looked forward to when the Meatheads came to Berk was meeting them on the beach. His father had dragged him down there every year and every year he was squashed between his father and Gobber while the boys from the other tribe made jeering remarks at him and Stoick would get angry and embarrassed. So Hiccup had made excuses over the years or purposely got himself in trouble and for the past three years, his plan worked.

This year, however, Hiccup was told that he had to be down at the beach. Well, he went there and nobody said anything about him, though they did stare at his new leg. As an added bonus: nobody came near him. There were perks to having a fearsome Night Fury as a best friend.

Anticipation and excitement for the events the next day ran throughout the camp on the beach and in the Great Hall that night. Gobber was loudly proclaiming to anybody who would listen that this was his year. This was the year that he was finally going to win the How Many Gulls' Eggs Can You Eat In One Minute? contest while simultaneously beating the record of forty-eight gulls' eggs.

"I bet three mugs of mead that Gobber will get to twenty before he hurls," Snotlout said to his friends. Tuffnut snorted.

"I bet five mugs of mead that he barely gets to fifteen," he challenged. Ruffnut plopped down next to her brother.

"Amateurs," she scoffed. "Two mugs of mead says Gobber will get to twelve before he turns an unpleasant shade of green. And then he'll be puking for about fifteen minutes after that." Hiccup pushed his food away.

"Thanks, Ruffnut. I've officially lost my appetite." Toothless instantly rested his head on the table and gave Hiccup his biggest toothless grin. Hiccup sighed and pushed the plate over to Toothless. "Just remember to eat the food and not the plate, this time, buddy!" he reminded the dragon. Toothless huffed indignantly.

"Hey guys!" Astrid called. They all looked up to see an axe suddenly wedge itself into the table, right between Tuffnut and Snotlout. The two boys yelped in surprise and promptly fell off the bench. Ruffnut was clutching at her sides and turning red in the face from laughing so hard. Hiccup and Fishlegs never looked so pale in their lives. Smiling, Astrid wrenched her axe out from the table and sat down next to Hiccup.

"Think it's sharp enough?" she asked, turning the axe in her hand. It glinted in the candlelight. Hiccup still had a hand clutched to his chest.

"Sorry, what was that?" he finally gasped. "I was having a flashback of when you found Toothless." Astrid laughed, setting the axe gently down on the table.

"Just practicing for the Axe Throwing Competition. Are we still on for tomorrow?" Hiccup found it just a little hard to think when those big blue eyes were blinking at him.

"Um, yes-yeah. Yes. Wha-why-why wouldn't we be?" Hiccup stammered. Ruffnut laughed loudly only to be instantly silenced by Astrid's hard glare.

"Just…making sure," Astrid said casually. A little too casually, a voice whispered in the back of Hiccup's brain. "I'm going home to get some sleep. We'll meet you by the cliff."

"By the cliff," Hiccup repeated, his tongue gone completely dry. Astrid punched his arm-surprisingly gentle this time-and she left the Hall. Ruffnut followed close behind. A horrible thought struck Hiccup: what if this was all a trick? What is Astrid was just setting him up as some big joke?

He sighed worriedly and looked over at Toothless.

"No! Toothless! Bad dragon! Spit out the plate! That is not food!"

Hiccup kept waking up at random intervals in the night and constantly tossed and turned. Toothless, worried, licked his face and hair. But when he established that Hiccup wasn't sick, he smacked him the face with his tailfin to shut the boy up.

He finally settled into sleep and didn't wake up until Stoick shook him awake and threw a pile of clothes at him. Hiccup was going to have to practice walking upstairs so he wouldn't have to sleep and change down here. The more embarrassing part was that he sometimes still needed help from his father to get his pants on. Stoick didn't seem to mind, though. With his help, Hiccup sat back down on the bed and began to strap on his prosthetic leg. Stoick was walking around the house, looking for something. He was rubbing his hands together while muttering "Today's my lucky day. Today is my lucky day."

"Did you bet on the Ugliest Baby Contest again?" Hiccup asked curiously. Stoick nodded happily.

"Have you seen Goggletoad?" he asked. " Never before have I seen such an ugly little thing. Ah! Here we are!" He found the "breat hat" he had given Hiccup. "To keep you safe when the hammers start flying in the first contest." He dropped the hat in his son's lap. Hiccup gingerly moved it to the side and stood up.

"Dad, just out of curiosity, you didn't try to enter me into that contest, did you?" he wondered.

Stoick shook his head. "No, son. You weren't an ugly baby." Hiccup sighed in relief. "Plus your mother said she'd bludgeon me in my sleep if I tried." So much for a nice little father-son moment.

Long Beach was where all the festivities took place. The entire beach was filled with tents and booths filled with storytellers, fortune tellers, and merchants trying to sell little trinkets and souvenirs. Hiccup was almost forcibly dragged into one of these tents by some of the younger children.

"Oh, please tell us the story of how you and Toothless killed the Green Death!" they pleaded. "Please! Please! Please!"

"I will later," he promised as he finally wrenched himself from the kids, with the help of Toothless. Snotlout and Tuffnut were laughing.

"Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, defeater of the Green Death, heir to Stoick the Vast: brought down by a bunch of five-year-olds who want to hear a story," Snotlout declared. Hiccup shoved him.

"Shut up," he mumbled. "We've got to get to the gulls' eggs contest." On the way, some of the Meathead boys were calling out "Hey, Stainer!" and "How've you been, Stainer?" and "Long time, no see. Right, Stainer?" And Tuffnut would answer them back. Suddenly, Ruffnut and Astrid appeared next to them.

"I give up," Astrid admitted. "Why do they keep calling you 'Stainer'?" Hiccup suddenly became very interested in scratching Toothless behind the ears. Tuffnut shrugged.

"It doesn't mean anything. It's just a nondescript nickname the Meatheads have for me. It doesn't mean anything."

Ruffnut rolled her eyes. "Right," she said skeptically. Tuffnut gave her a glare that quite obviously meant "shut up."

"Oh, look. Headbands," Ruffnut pointed out. Astrid's eyes lit up at the sight of the booth. She waved goodbye to the boys. Hiccup's stomach twisted uncomfortably again as he watched her walk off.

"Relax, Hiccup," Fishlegs encouraged. "Astrid wouldn't ditch you as a joke. She's better than that." Toothless nodded in agreement. He had already told all of them of his suspicions earlier that day.

"But Astrid's…really hot!"

Tuffnut scoffed. "Yeah, but you said that same shit about Maija," he pointed out. Coincidentally, Maija happened to be walking up to them. Snotlout and Fishlegs began to shake their heads wildly at Tuffnut and Hiccup was signaling for him to shut up.

"And let's face it," Tuffnut continued, "Maija was kind of a skank." Just now did he notice the tiny little brunette glaring at him with her dark eyes. It was true that compared to the other girls and women of the village, Maija didn't exactly dress "modestly" but people didn't point that out to her unless they wished to sleep with one eye open.

"Uh, hi!" Tuffnut greeted nervously, clearing his throat. "Hi, Maija. We were just talking about…Maija, the name, and how it's unfortunate that it's not more common."

"Fuck you, Tuffnut," Maija spat.

"Ah! You didn't let me finish!" Tuffnut pointed out. "More common…for skanks." In an instant, Maija's knife was out of and pointing at Tuffnut. Toothless growled dangerously in warning. The two heads of Tuffnut's Zippleback were suddenly growling in Maija's ears. Knowing this was a battle she couldn't win, Maija put the knife away. The dragons backed off.

She shoved through the boys, muttering something that sounded like "Get out of my way you losers."

Tuffnut shuddered at the experience. Fishlegs went back to their previous conversation. "What does Astrid being pretty have to do with anything?"

"In my experience, girls like Astrid don't tend to notice me unless I've done something to annoy them. So I must've done something extra annoying to her lately for her to set something this elaborate up." He racked his brains for what he might've done since he woke up. Nope, nothing. He couldn't think of a single thing. But he'd find out soon.

Stoick won his bet on the Ugliest Baby Contest. Snotlout was rather disgruntled as he and Hiccup landed on the hill by the cliff. He had lost his bet on the Gulls' Eggs contest. The only bright side was that Ruffnut had, too.

Snotlout's Monstrous Nightmare, Fireworm, yawned loudly before she turned around and started trumping off to Snotlout's house for a nap.

"Come on, look at the bright side," Hiccup encourage. "You may have to buy Tuffnut all that mead, but he's going to be get really drunk and end up doing something embarrassing." This cheered Snotlout up significantly. Toothless suddenly cooed happily, looking up at the sky. He ran around in a circle and then sat by Hiccup, wriggling in excitement. Hiccup looked up in surprise to see a Deadly Nadder with two familiar blondes on its back coming in for a landing.

"Oh my, Gods!" Hiccup whispered in surprise. "She's here! I didn't think she'd show up!"

"That makes two of us!" Snotlout whispered back in equal surprise. The girls landed near them and dismounted with their baskets. Toothless looked anxiously at Astrid. She always gave him some fish. Surely she had some now? Right? Right?

"Hey!" Hiccup greeted. "You're-you're here!" Astrid smiled and patted Toothless on the head.

"Well the race is about to start right off of Long Beach," she explained, opening her basket, "so we wanted to get settled in." She pulled a fish out of the basket and tossed it to Toothless, who gulped it down happily. The group spread out their picnic under the shade of a large tree. Toothless curled up on the other side of the trunk to have a little nap. Astrid's Nadder went to admire itself in a nearby puddle. In Hiccup's mind, Tuffnut's words kept echoing: she's setting you up with the bitchy friend. It's not that he didn't mind Ruffnut, but…being so close to Astrid right now, having her actually listen to him, laugh at the things he said (while he was being intentionally funny), and the feeling that coursed through him when her head touched his shoulder while she was laughing especially hard…he just wished Astrid showed more of an interest.

"Oh, hey! You can see one of the boats!" Astrid pointed out. Sure enough, a boat was sailing into view. They all studied it and were happy to see it was one of Berk's ships.

"Alright!" Snotlout cheered, accidentally elbowing Ruffnut as he did so. "One of our teams are taking home the prize this year!" An older married couple walked past them from the direction of the Meathead camp. The woman dropped a leather pouch but didn't seem to notice. Hiccup stood up.

"I'll be right back," he told the group. He hobbled over to the leather pouch-full of money-and then called to the couple, "Hey! Wait up!" The two stopped as Hiccup held out their lost property.

"You dropped this," he panted. He was going to have to practice running with his prosthetic, too. They thanked him and went on their way to the festival. Hiccup turned back to his friends and froze almost immediately. There was another guy, no doubt from the Meathead tribe, talking to Astrid. He seemed to know her. As Hiccup walked back toward them, the guy sat down next to Astrid in-what was just a few moments ago-Hiccup's spot.

Toothless instantly sprung into action and was in the guy's face, growling menacingly. Hiccup had a moment of pleasure when he saw the boy turn white.

"Why-why is it growling at me?" he asked. "What did I do?"

"You sat in Hiccup's spot," Ruffnut and Snotlout pointed out. The boy looked around for Hiccup and held his hands up in surrender.

"Honest mistake," he said. Toothless backed off to let him stand and move out of the way. It was only after Hiccup sat down that he recognized the other guy: it was Thuggory, heir to the Meathead tribe.

"Long time, no see, Hiccup!" Thuggory greeted. "So is that the dragon that caused…that?" he gestured to Hiccup's leg.

Hiccup shook his head. "It was an explosion caused by a bigger dragon that Toothless saved me from."

"Toothless?" Thuggory muttered. He was confused, like most villagers were when they heard the name because he was quite sure he had just seen teeth on that thing.

"Well I was just catching up with Astrid, here," Thuggory said. Hiccup looked over at Astrid for further explanation.

"Thuggory and I competed against each other last year in the Axe-Throwing Competition," she explained. "This year, too, I assume."

"Aw, come on," Thuggory said, feigning hurt. "We're more than that." He turned to Hiccup. "Astrid and I used to date," he explained.

"Oh!" Hiccup exclaimed. He took a big gulp of water, his mouth feeling dry. Astrid's eyes narrowed.

"We didn't date," she corrected. "I beat you and our terms were the loser buys mead for the winner."

Thuggory just smiled under Astrid's glare. "It hurts that you think so little of me. I'll see you down at the beach." He shouldered his axe and swaggered away, whistling. Astrid shook her head.

"I'm going to get some more bread from the saddlebags," Astrid decided, standing up. Snotlout nodded knowingly and stood up, too.

"I'll come help," he said. As he followed Astrid, he turned back to Ruffnut and Hiccup. "You two stay. Talk." He accidentally stepped on Ruffnut's foot as he left. Ruffnut scowled after him. Once he was out of earshot, she scooted close to Hiccup.

"Listen, Hiccup, while we have a minute here: Astrid always tries to drag me to these kind of things to set me up and it's kind of why she brought me along today. But to tell you the truth: I'm not interested. No offense," she added. Hiccup shrugged.

"None taken," he assured her. "I assume that I am probably not your type." Ruffnut looked a little confused.

"I was talking about Snotlout," she said slowly.

Hiccup laughed nervously. "What, do you think we're on like a double-date or something?"

"Yeah."

"But that would mean…" Realization dawned over Hiccup. He felt himself shake his head. "No," he said. This just didn't happen. Especially to him.

Ruffnut nodded. "Yeah," she corrected. "Hiccup, Astrid's into you."

Hiccup was quite sure he just felt his brain implode.

And that's the end of chapter two! So here's how the HTTYD characters match up with SOOML characters

Hiccup- Kirk

Astrid- Molly

Ruffnut- Patti

Tuffnut- Stainer

Snotlout- Jack

Fishlegs- Devan

If you saw the movie, you noticed that Snotlout took Tuffnut's place at the picnic, but it was kind of necessary so Tuffnut wasn't going on a double date with his sister. They might switch again, as necessary.

Now exposition for Maija: she's a family friend of Snotlout's and Hiccup's. So unfortunately, she's at family gatherings every so often. Her name also means "sea of bitterness."
