-Hiccup's P.O.V.-
"Welcome to The Guardians Cafe!" A man that looked like Kris Kringle said.
"Hey Dad," Jack said, then pushed me forward, "This is my new friend Hiccup! I met him today. Hiccup, this is my dad North."
North held out his hand, "Glad to meet you! Would you like something to eat?"
Merida, Rapunzel, and Jack smiled wildly while saying, "Yes!" Then ran to a table in the corner. I followed at a slower pace right behind Jack's laughing dad. I sat down next to Jack so he and Rapunzel were in the middle.
Even though we missed lunch, I wasn't hungry at all. So I only pretended to look at the menu, "What would you like?" North asked.
"Jack Frost's hot chocolate," Jack answered.
"North's cookies and milk," Merida said.
"Bunnies brownies," Rapunzel replied.
"What about you Hiccup?" North asked after I didn't say anything.
"Ummm...How about Sandy's dream soup?" I suggested.
"Great," North turned and started to leave, "I'll bring out your orders soon enough. Then you can go back to your tour," And North was gone.
"Do you work here Jack?"
"Sometimes," Jack responded, "Whenever they need help then I do."
"We even work here to!" Rapunzel said.
"Ya," Merida stated, "They let us work here if we need some extra cash. They also get us to work here if they need extra people."
An idea formed in my head, "Could they do that for me to?" I asked hoping they would let me.
"Sure!" Jack almost yelled, "I could help you get it if you want, I mean Dad will probably want to get to know you more, but I'm sure he would let you if you wanted to."
"Here you are," A girl with Green, purple, blue and yellow streaked hair said as she set down our plates of food, "I hope you are having a good time."
"Hiccup, this is Tooth, my older sister," Jack introduced, "Tooth, this is Hiccup. My new friend."
"Nice to meet you!" Tooth held out her hand. I shook it and smiled a bit. Tooth gasped and stuck her fingers in my mouth, "Oh my goodness! You have amazing teeth! How do you do it? They look better then Jacks!"
"Tooth take your fingers out of his mouth," Merida said and Tooth quickly did, "I thought North told you to stop doing that or he would take away a paycheck."
"Please don't tell! I almost have enough for dental school!" Tooth looked scared.
"We won't," I answered, "Just please don't do that again."
"Alright, thank you!" Tooth walked away, leaving us to eat the food.
I have to say that the food is amazing. I would have had more, but I was already full after eating an eighth of the soup. A minute after I stopped eating I noticed Rapunzel, Jack, and Merida starting at me, "What?" I asked.
"Are you done already?" Merida asked.
"Yea. I already ate a lot."
"Hiccup you barely touched it," Rapunzel said.
"Well, a meal like this could last me eight weeks."
"We need to fatten you up then," Merida said, "We will start tomorrow. For now we need to continue on with the tour or we will never make it home on time," Merida stood up and started walking out the door after stopping and paying at the register for all of us, "Come on slowpokes!" Merida called as she walked out the door.
"She sure is impatient today," Jack mumbled as he got up and followed Merida. Rapunzel and I quickly followed. I got to see the mall, movie theater, every store, every shop, and every place to have fun like arcades, skate parks, parks, and the race track (Dirt, motorcycle and car). We ended up at Merida's house that was more like a mansion with a huge yard. Rapunzel and Jack went home one way and I went the opposite way.
I slowly and quietly went inside when I reached home. I quietly went upstairs and pulled out my journal and started to write. My father hates it when I do this so I have to do it secretly, like almost everything in my life. When I heard the front door open and get slammed closed I knew my father was home. I quickly hid my journal and started on the little homework I had when my father came in making the door whack the wall with a bottle in his hand, "Are you done with your homework yet?" My father asked in a gruff voice.
"Almost," I said with the quietest voice I used all day. I was suddenly yanked off my bed and thrown into the wall, hard.
He lifted his fist and punched me as hard as he could between his words, "How...did… my… son… get…. To… be… so… STUPID!?" He punched me a few more times then threw me on the floor, then left slamming the door behind me, "No supper for you tonight!"
I sighed and picked myself up from the floor, 'Another day in my terrible life,' I thought, 'I can't wait until I can run away, just one more dollar and I can escape this awful place.' I quickly finished my homework, then went to bed.
-Time skip to friday-
A week later I met the Mayor when he came to get his car fixed. I was just sitting down working on a holo-projector when I heard a honk outside. I went to see who it was and saw Gober outside talking to a man with red hair and a beard. "Do you know what's wrong?" Gobber asked.
"No, I was hoping that you could find out," The man said.
Then Gobber saw me, "Oh, Hiccup come here," I walked over and shyly smiled at the man and waved, "Stoick this is my apprentice and he is going to be working on the car with me if you don't mind."
"I don't," Stoick replied and paused for a second, "Do I know you from somewhere?"
I look at him with pure confusion, "Um, sorry but we've never met," Nothing was said for a minute until I said, "So what's going on with your car?"
"It's making a weird noise as it starts up and when I go faster than ten miles an hour it makes the same sound. The breaks need to be changed as well."
"Ok, I think I know what's wrong and should be an easy fix," I popped the hood and started to tear it apart.
"Really?" Gobber said, "I don't think it will be easy. Oh, Stoick this is Hiccup, Hiccup this is Mayor Stoick."
I froze, then slowly straightened and looked right at the Mayor, "I'm so sorry, I just moved here and I didn't know who you were…" The mayor started to laugh.
"It's alright, I prefer to be called by my name, Stoick," Stoick said while smiling, "So when do you think it will be done?"
"A little more than a month. Mainly because we need to order the parts and it will take a while."
"Alright, I'll come back in a month," Stoick then turned to Gobber, "Could I borrow your car?"
"Sure, as long as you remember that it's mine and you pick me up and drop me off before and after school," Gobber said as he hands Stoick the keys and I got back to taking the car apart.
"Thanks"
Gobber turns and goes back inside the school, "Come back in an hour!" Then walks into his office leaving the Mayor and I. The Mayor said goodbye and quickly left.
For the rest of the hour I took the car apart not caring how much grease got on me and continued after the final bell rang. About ten minutes after the bell rang Jack, Merida and Rapunzel came into the engineering lab looking for me. Gobber came out of his office and said, "Why are you here? I thought I ban you from coming in here again!" Gobber pointed at Jack.
"That was last year," Jack replied, "We are here for Hiccup, were going to the Guardian Cafe."
"Oh, well he's right there," Gobber pointed to me, "You might want to make sure to get him cleaned up first." Then Gobber left. I moved the car inside after the mayor left and parts of the car were everywhere around me as I took it apart to get to what I needed to so when the parts get here it will be faster.
Merida came over and pulled me away from the car, "Merida, you are so lucky I heard you coming or I could have dropped something and it would break," I still couldn't speak that loudly so it sounded like a loud whisper.
"You forgot about our plan didn't you?" Merida asked.
"What plan?" I was confused.
"Come on," Merida started to pull me to the washing station, "Get cleaned up. Then we are going to the Guardian Cafe. And no stalling!"
-Time Skip a week later-
I was slowly making my way to the front of the school because Merida, Jack, and Rapunzel's families wanted to meet me. They wanted to meet my father, but I lied and said that he was on a business trip. When I reached the front steps I looked around and when I was on the last step I spotted Merida, Jack and Rapunzel standing next to a red van. I walked over and I said, "Hi," When I was close enough.
"Hey Hiccup," Jack responded, "Were going to eat at Merida's house so hop in!" Jack got into the van. I followed after, then Merida and Rapunzel came in. A man with hair that looked like Merida's, but shorter with a beard was sitting in the driver's seat. Rapunzel was sitting in the front seat with Jack, Merida and I sitting in the middle seats with three young boys in the back. They looked like triplets.
The man turned around and faced me then said, "You must be Hiccup. It's nice to meet the young man my daughter has been spending time with, besides Jack."
"Nice to meet you to Mr. Dunbrock," I said politely.
"Oh, no need for formality, just call me Fergus."
"Ok."
"Are you a jokester?" I heard a voice ask from the backseat.
I turned around to see the triplets looking at me with curiosity, "I do like to play pranks every once in awhile, but only to the right people."
"So you won't play a prank on Merida?" Jack asked.
"If I did then I would probably have to leave the country to avoid her wrath."
Merida smiled, "Listen to Hiccup, Jack. I would hunt you down to get payback on a prank you do to me."
To hopefully get Merida's death glare off her face I asked, "So what are your guys's names?"
"Hamish, Hubert and Harris," Who I'm guessing Hamish answered.
"Their my little brothers," Merida said.
I smiled a bit and said, "I can see the resemblance." Ten minutes later we made it to Merida's house and we went inside dropping our backpacks on the ground near the front door.
A woman with long black hair came around the corner, "Oh good you made it," She walked forward and gave everyone a hug except me. When she got to me she said, "I'm guessing your Hiccup?"
"Yes, mam. I'm guessing your Merida's mother?"
"Oh, call me Eleanor." She led us into the dining room where we all sat down, "Hiccup, this is North, Jack's father," She pointed to the people as she introduced them, "His older sister Tooth, His older brother Asher, and his grandfather Sandy. Rapunzel's mother Alexandra and her father Christopher (A.N. I don't know their real names). She's an only child." Eleanor sat down after everyone was introduced to me.
Rapunzel stood up and pointed to me saying, "And this is our new friend Hiccup."
Everyone said hello and I said a quiet hello back. Then came the question that I never liked to answer, "How come your voice is so quiet?" One of the triplets asked.
"I don't know," I answered. That was a complete lie. It was actually because I never raised my voice that much so it stayed that way and when I was younger I yelled in pain a lot and it make my voice hoarse a lot and now I can't talk that loudly, but I am working on it.
"Oh, that's awful," Rapunzel said.
"It's alright, I've been working on talking louder, but haven't made much progress."
"We'll help you!" The triplets said in unison while smiling.
"Thanks. I could help you with some pranks in return."
They smiled, but I think Hubert said, "Could you teach us to bake mini cakes?"
I smiled, "Definitely, when I was younger my mom taught me to bake everything she could. We use to make some recipes up or find one on the internet and change it dramatically. We would bake something different every day when I returned home from school and if I was having a bad day then she would bake some of her cookies, give some to me and let me talk about whatever I wanted. It never failed to cheer me up." There were some tears threatening to come out.
"Where's your mom now?" Tooth asked.
The tears came against my will as I whispered ever quieter, "She's dead. She died of cancer on my fifth birthday. Some days I can't even remember what she looked like, but then I look at the only picture left of her. I carry it everywhere I go," I pulled the picture out of my pocket and showed them, "My father was distraught and tore up every picture he had of her, but I managed to save this one."
I looked around the table and noticed that everyone was crying, even if it was just one tear. I quickly changed the topic and the rest of the visit was spent laughing, telling stories, and eating dinner and dessert. And that was, without a doubt, the best day of my life. Little did I know that my life was going to change a lot on my birthday.
