Summery: Astrid is perfecting her Yaknog recipe...and Hiccup is nominated to be the taste tester. What could go wrong?


"Hiccup!" Hiccup heard his girlfriend call. He turned to see Astrid excitedly coming towards him.

"Well good evening M'lady." He said giving her a quick kiss as soon as she reached him.

She grinned back. "Guess what? All day I've been working on perfecting my yaknog recipe! And I have a few more ideas I want to try out. So I was wondering if you'd come taste test them for me." Astrid said nearly bouncing off the walls in excitement.

Hiccup's smile faltered. "Um, you want me to be the taste tester for your yaknog?" He said chuckling nervously at the end.

"Yeah!" She said practically ready to drag him back to her hut to try her new um, concoction.

"O-Oh yeah! I'd love to." Hiccup said plastering on a fake smile, and putting a "cheerful" tone in his voice.

"Great! Yay!" She said grabbing his arm and running to her hut.

Wait! but I haven't had time to say good bye to my internal organs! I know I'm gonna miss them after I drink that yaknog. Hiccup thought sarcastically. Dreaded the moment he had to drink her "new recipe"

So long world. I guess I'll be spending snoggletog in Vallhalla after I drink Astrid's yaknog. And I was so looking forward to spending it on Berk.

Just shut up! stop being sarcastic!

Fiiiiiiiine. Why am I telling myself to shut up in my mind? Just stop talking ugh! Nevermind.

...

Hiccup sat down at Astrid's table, a heavy sense of dread growing in the pit of his stomach, as he watched Astrid going around the kitchen getting a mug, and pouring the disgusting looking "drink" into it. He didn't even know if it could be called a drink at this point.

"Alright! Try it out!" She smiled handing the mug with a lumpy, moldy, gross looking drink, and he could swear he saw some yak hairs lurking around in the liquid. His stomach churned just looking at it.

But any thoughts of rejecting the drink, or fleeing for his life, vanished when he saw Astrid's beaming face, waiting for him to take a sip.

Well, she did say she tried a new recipe. Maybe it doesn't taste as bad as it looks? He thought.

And before he could regret his decision, he took a huge sip of it. He nearly gagged, and choked trying to swallow the disgusting drink all the while trying not to show evidence of how awful it was on his face. Once he finally managed to get it down, and somewhat recover from the awful drink, he looked back up at Astrid.

"Well?" She asked eagerly.

"It's," The worse thing that I have ever drunk in my entire 18 years of living on this planet. "Wonderful Astrid." He smiled, lying.

"Really?" She beamed. "Great cause I have two more different versions I want to try out!" She said grinning, practically skipping back to the kitchen.

He couldn't remember the last time he saw her so happy and cheerful, and would hate to get her spirits down.

But at the moment he was trying to make sure that his stomach's contents stayed down. He could still taste it in his mouth and he just wanted to go brush his teeth a thousand times, and his stomach was churning at the poisoning it had been given.

But he concluded that it was worth it to see Astrid happy.

...

It was NOT worth it. Defiantly NOT worth it.

The second time Astrid brought it to him it was green with yellow and white chunks in it! There is no way anyone in there right mind would drink something like that! Unless you're Hiccup Haddock, and don't like hurting your girfriend's feelings. So it pushed down any thoughts of saying no, and the last yaknog he had that was trying to make it's way back up.

But he did what he did with the last one and just drank it quickly. But it was not better. If anything it was WORSE. The instant that he managed to swallow it, his stomach churned, and he ran for the waste bin on the other side of the room, emptying his stomach's contents. He heard Astrid yelp his name, but was barely aware of it.

He felt a hand on his back, and someone pulling his bang's out of his face. As soon as he finished vomiting, he groaned leaning back against Astrid. He was pretty sure her yaknog had given him food poisoning.

"You lied to me...didn't you." She sighed, sounding slightly angry.

He winced. "Yeah..." He sighed. "I'm so sorry Hiccup...I thought, I could make it even better then before. But I don't think anyone liked it much before either, did they?" She sighed.

He was about to reply, when his stomach tightened, and he abruptly sat up right, barfing into the waste bin again. Then he kept dry heaving, whcih was painful. When his stomach finally settle down again, he leaned back against Astrid once more.

She sighed sadly. "Let's get you to bed."

She helped him all the way back to his hut and took care of him the rest of the day till he was starting to feel a little better. And by the next morning he was back on his feet-er, foot.

The next day Astrid had been upset (mostly angry) that she couldn't make any good food.

Stupid yaknog. I can't make anything right! And of course Hiccup lied to me! Did I actually expect him to tell me if it was awful?! And now I've given him food poisoning! Good going Astrid." She thought angrily.

A knock on the door interrupted her brooding. She went and opened it and saw Hiccup standing there grinning, with a box of several ingredients.

"Um, Hey Hiccup! What's all this?" She asked surprised.

"I decided to come over and help you come up with a new, um, slightly more enjoyable, yaknog recipe!" He told her grinning.

"Wait really? You'd actually help me make it again after yesterday?" She asked shocked.

"Anything for M'Lady." He said doing a slight bow. Astrid grinned.

...

After hours upon hours of working on the recipe they finally perfected it and it actually tasted really good.

"You know, this is so different from the original, we should rename it." Hiccup said taking a sip of his frothy delicious cup of cheer.

"How about," Astrid said pausing to think a moment as she took a sip of her holiday drink. "eggnog. Since we added eggs to it."

"Perfect." Hiccup agreed. And with that they clinked their mugs together, and every Snoggltogafter that everyone in every viking home was enjoying a frothy holiday treat called eggnog.


So what did ya'll think of the chapter? =D Sorry this got posted so late at night, I was gone like all day today, and then I had to cook dinner when I got home. So yeah it's been a busy day, but I managed to get it out tonight so I'm just happy about that Oh, and a funnny thing I wanted to point out is that, In the first httyd movie Hiccup managed to swallow a raw fish, that had been regurgitated by a dragon. Yet in gift of the night Fury, he couldn't even swallow Astrid's yaknog! so it must be REALLY bad! And sorry if Astrid seems a little OOC but I did just write this at almost 11:00 at night so bear with me. =P Anyway thanks for reading so much and have a Merry Chrstimas and Happy Snoggletog! Bye!
