"Jamie Jamie Jamie Jamie Jamie Jamie Jamie Jam-"
"JACK STOP IT!"
"Jamie. Guess what."
"WHAT?"
"HorrendousHiccup is alSO IN HIGH SCHOOL JAMIE I MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE I-"
"SHUT IT JACK. Really you need to calm you're nerves before you Skype call with him sheesh. Maybe my baby hasn't grown up after all."
"Oh shit JAMIE what if I lose my cool? WHAT IF HE THINKS I'M WEIRD AND WHAT IF-"
I hear that annoying sound of Jamie dropping the Skype call. With my mouth still ajar from my rambling, I slowly close my mouth. Who does Jamie think he is? Oh I'll give him a real beating in our next match together. We are in the same bracket together, so if he does cross my path I will destroy him! Now time for me to learn how to stay 'cool'.
After some Google searches, I found a promising site. It tells me that the first step to keep your cool is to note what make you lose your cool. HorrendousHiccup72, check. Next step is to think before you act... I think I can do that? I'll just practice with Emma when she gets home. Lastly it says to focus on the positives instead of the negatives... How can I not focus on the negatives? I mean lets be real here I... have to stay positive. Stay positive Jackson you can do it.
Getting up I stretch random parts of my body to let myself relax. I learned a lot of things to relieve stress and to distract yourself from stress inducing events. Exercise is the best way, but since I'm not an active person I do Yoga and stretching time to time. If its really bad I jog in place and do Jumping Jacks. Hehehe... Jumping Jacks.
Stretching up to the sky finishing off my routine I notice something on my bed. Oh yeah Emma gave me a present! I'm surprised I didn't tear it open when I got home... As I was reaching my hand towards Emma's gift I hear Berk's dragon notification go off at my computer. Running back towards my baby I seen it was HorrendousHiccup72! The gift can wait till later...
If only I could skip the first day of school... My dad would kick my ass so hard into the afterlife if I even thought about it... Well I'm not doing anything right now, so do you want to Skype and game in ten minutes?
"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT."
Looking myself in the mirror making sure none of my bruises are visible and that my face looked happy enough, I head downstairs to find my awaiting father on the couch. Sitting on the other end I pause to look at my father. He stares back, but then looks away... Almost like he was scared? Seeing that my father was uncomfortable with my presence I immediately look away. I instead stare off at an old picture of my dad and Gobber when they were little. Seeing my father with a smile on his face made me feel weird. Looking back at my father I see him staring at the floor. My father is such an enigma, that its hard to understand how to make him proud of me.
"Is there uh... Something you wanted to talk about Dad?"
My Dad, Stoick the Vast looks up from his thoughts looking very distressed.
"Ye'... I haven't been the best father, have I?"
Stunned, I slowly close my mouth.
"I know I haven't... Ever since ye mother died, since Val died... I- We haven't been the same since."
At this point I feel like I'm about to cry. The last time my father brought up my mother was in the summer of 8th grade when he was trying to send me to a boot camp to 'Whip me into shape'. I figured he was worried about how I wasn't growing like everyone else in my grade, but it still made me throw out all the fliers and runaway for a week until he found me hiding out under a bridge downtown.
"I know it will be hard to forgive me, and I know its been hard for the both of us to get over her death... But I want to make things right. I want to be the father you had when you were little, and I want to get to know the son I've ignored for so long..."
I can't believe what I was hearing. He... wants to fix things instead of ignoring them? I've been waiting for this day for a long time... A chance to finally connect with my Dad, and a chance to show I'm not totally worthless.
"I-I'm willing to fix things also. I know that my hobbies don't seem the best, and my physique is depressing, but I hope that we can come to the middle and resolve all of our issues."
That's when it happened. My Dad smiled.
"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIIIITTTT."
I quickly threw myself in the shower when I read that I only had 10 minutes to get ready. Spreading shampoo and conditioner in the same wash and scrubbing my face was a horrible combination. My eyes were screaming in pain, but that didn't matter when I was drying off and putting clothes on at the same time. Lets just say the towel was dry while my clothes were wet.
"SHIT I STILL HAVE TO ADD HIM GAHHHHH."
Tripping over my own feet to get to my computer was a nightmare. I seriously need to clean up-
"Oh mY GOD HE IS GOING TO SEE HOW MUCH OF A PIG I AM JACKSON WHAT ARE YOU DOING."
Quickly I push all of my clothes and miscellaneous to the side so HorrendousHiccup wouldn't see anything. To make things look natural I didn't fix my bed.
Looking around making sure everything was okay I check myself in the mirror. Why do I have to look so dead?
Feeling the sense of insecurity again, I grab my hoodie to make myself more secure and more presentable.
"Okay I've added him! Everything should be going smooth from here right?"
"Jack, could you not talk to yourself? If you're going to stay home then keep it down will ya?"
Shit I forgot that Uncle Aster was here.
"I refuse to remain silent, because I've got a hot da- um daring battle soon! Who wouldn't be pumped for that?"
Aster looking done with my antics leaves. Good thing my annoying personality gets the job done. Giving my baby my full attention, I see that HorrendousHiccup72 is on.
Show time.
Thanks for all the support guys!
2SexyForMySkirt-I am trying so hard not to procrasitinate and continue because I love this story Dx I will try to continue!
Tossedthrough-Thank you my dear! You shall get more soon!
kitty.0-A lot of kids do travel with their parents therefore needing a passport. I guess the kids that don't have one can't go xD
VirguleAddict-Thank you for saying this was original! Id o love the old coffee shop AU's, but once in a while I think we all prefer something weird! I also connect with Jack on a personal level in this story xD
Kitsu Maxwell- I try not to over due things, but I want to make it apparent ya know? A lot of fanfiction don't really go into depth of people and kinda just focus on other things. Character development is key to good story telling and we see these fictional people more realistically if we do add everyday things. Also *coughdagurdoesappearsomewhereinthestorycough*
Guest-Toothless was mentioned in the first chapter xD I will write more in due time!
TheWildNoose-Thank you! I will continue with the writing!
