(Hey guys! This is going to be a midget chapter, but I promise the next on is longer!)
- If the text is surrouded by these, that means they are singing. Corpse Bride IS a musical -
Lastly; Sorry if it sounds so rushed, I just want to reach the romantic Hijack parts! I'll edit it later! (I actually don't like Hiccstrid as much as Hijack)
Hiccup woke up to one of the strangest things he'd ever seen: Skeletons. Walking, talking skeletons.
"A new arrival!" A woman called.
"He must have fainted," called that goddamned voice of the boy from before. "Are you alright?"
"Okay - what is going on here?" Hiccup called out.
"By Jove, man! It looks like we've got ourselves a breather!" One said
"Does he have a dead brother?"
"He's still soft!"
He saw a smaller skeleton yell "A toast! To the newlyweds!"
"NEWLYWEDS?!" Hiccup screamed.
"Well duh!" Said the teenager from earlier. "In the woods. You said your vows so perfectly!" He replied, sounding enthusiastic.
"I did?" Hiccup asked himself. "I DID!" He then started banging his head against the table, yelling "WAKE UP!" Over and over.
"So Jack…" said a winged, creepy looking fairy-ish creature that approached to Hiccup from Jack's EYE, "This must be your savior!"
"Get back in there!" Yelled Jack in a whisper tone, pushing the fairy back inside. "Fairies!" He said while forcing a laugh.
"EW!" He screamed. He then grabbed the sword that went through the 'to-the-newlywed' dwarf-man (who was clearly Napoleon) and instead grabbed the skeleton with him.
"ALRIGHTY! I've got a - dwarf - and I'm not afraid to use him!" Hiccup yelled. "NOW I WANT SOME QUESTIONS AND I WANT THEM NOW!"
"Answers." Said the dwarf. "I think you mean answers."
"Oh yeah, right. Now tell me what's going on!"
"Well…" the boy interrupted, "It's a REAL long story."
"What a story it is!" Said a mysterious skeleton.
"A tragic tale of romance, passion, and a murder most foul…"
And then - music started playing.
"They aren't going to sing, are they?" Hiccup asked the boy.
"They most certainly are… they do this all the time." The boy laughed.
- Hey, give me a listen you corpses of cheer -
- At least those of you who still got an ear -
- I'll tell you a story, make a skeleton cry -
- Of our perfect Prince Charming, and, of course, how he died -
And then everyone but the two teenagers started singing along.
- Die, Die, we all pass away -
- We don't wear a frown, 'cause it's really okay -
- You might try to hide -
- You might try to pray -
- But we all end up the remains of the day -
- Well, our boy was sure handsome, known for miles around -
- When a mysterious stranger came into town -
- He was pretty good looking, and down on his cash -
- And our little boy? Well he feel hard and fast -
- But his daddy said no -
- He just couldn't cope -
- So our lovers came up with a plan to elope -
- Die, Die, we all pass away -
- We don't wear a frown, 'cause it's really okay -
- You might try to hide -
- You might try to pray -
- But we all end up the remains of the day -
Hiccup had no other chance. He slowly tried to slip away, before he constantly wound up in the boy's arms. He squirmed out, only to be caught again. He figured to let them finish before he made his escape.
- So they conjured a plan to meet late at night -
- They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight -
- Now his father's new suit had fit like a glove -
- You don't need much, if you're really in love -
- Except for a few things, or so I'm told -
- Like the family jewels or a satchel of gold -
- And next to the graveyard by the old oak tree -
- On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three -
- He was ready to go, yet where could he be? -
"AND THEN?" They asked in unison.
"He waited…"
"AND THEN?"
"There in the shadows, was it the male?"
"And then?"
He laughed maniacally, "He said 'hello baby,' while pushing him into a frozen lake -
"And everything went black"
- When he opened his segues, he was dead as gust -
- The jewels were missing and his heart was bust -
- So he made a vow, lying under that tree -
- He would wait for his true love to come set him free -
And then Hiccup started running.
- Always waiting for someone to ask for his hand -
- Then out of the blue comes this GROOVY young man -
- Who'll finally love him with a love so true -
- And that's the story of our own corpse groom -
He barely escaped through the door once they repeated their chorus. He stopped to catch his breath, and then dashed faster then a lightning bolt.
Only to see the boy started following him.
He kept running while he heard the boy call his name.
"Hiccup, where are you?" He called.
The fairy creature whispered in his ear "You know, your boyfriend's kind of jumpy,"
"He's not my boyfriend," the boy responded. "He's my husband. Hiccup, PLEASE come back! Do you want me to chase you down?"
Hiccup just ran. He couldn't stop, even if he tried. He then found a steep cliff - this meant a dead end. The boy approached him carefully, and then said;
"Come on, if you wanna get up there, we'll use the stairs"
Hiccup gasped in awe and almost fainted, but still managed to keep consciousness.
Back home, Astrid watched the window. She wondered how Hiccup had been doing, slowly realizing she was falling for him.
"Astrid, get back here!" Yelled her mother. "Lord Black has something to say"
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm afraid this has happened. Sir, may you repeat tonight's headlines?" He asked the weatherman.
He then shouted "HEAR YE, HEAR YE, HAMISH HADDOCK HAS OFFICIALLY ELOPED WITH SOME MYSTERY MAN! I REPEAT HE ELOPED WITH A MYSTERY MAN! And now for the weather. Scattered showers with -"
"THAT'S ENOUGH," yelled Astrid's father.
"A mystery MAN?" Stoick yelled in anger. "We must find him!"
"No - he's clearly not suited for Astrid," said her mother.
"Give us some time, please!" Yelled Valka. "Just till dawn?"
"Very well. Till dawn."
