I can't tell you how surprised I am. Let's say I'm star-struck.
Anywho, I love writing this story! I wish I could write it all the time, but I can't. So anyways, Tally HO!
Once they had snuck into the village again and Toothless was unsaddled, they made their way around with Hiccup pointing out who lives in which house. Also adding what to do or not to do if they were to ever meet the person. Then they came to Gobber the Belch's house.
"Ha! Who lives here?" Jake laughed looking at the condition of the house.
"My teacher, Gobber the Belch."
"Gobber the who? The Belch?" Jake snickered. Then he added, "This looks like a prime TPing house!"
"I don't know what TPing might be, but I wouldn't do anything to his house. He'd be as bad as a grumpy old man."
"Grumpy old man…" Jake thought. Then a light bulb lit up. "where is it?" he said frantically looking around and pulling out his pockets.
"What's the matter?" Hiccup asked thinking, this is the weirdest kid I've ever met!
"The hourglass thingy!" Jake said. "I have to find it to get back to the future!"
"Future?"
"I'm not from these times!" Jake exclaimed "Help me find it!"
"What does it look like?"
"Small and blue."
"Has anyone ever told you that you're bipolar?"
Jake ignored the question. "No matter how much I like this time I still want to go home!" he backed up to see if he was standing on it, but when backing up he ran into something.
He turned to see a tall, thickly built man with a long braided mustache who was missing a hand and a leg.
"Aw, man!" Jake mumbled.
" 'Ey! Watch where you're going!" the man growled cuffing Jake on the ear. This wasn't a good idea. Jake was already stressed looking for the hourglass, then getting cuffed where he as a dragon is most sensitive (behind the left ear), made the poor teen freak out.
"AOOOOOOIIIIIIAAAAAAYYY!" he hollered. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" he turned on the man who was Gobber. "Yo! Do you know how that hurts?" Jake howled. "Oh, I should just dragon up on you right now!"
Other people in the village opened their doors to see what all the commotion was about.
"I mean, drag you to your knees to show you what I learned in training…" Jake caught himself at last.
There were murmurs amongst the people some saying, "Who is that kid?" others "Can he really beat Gobber the Belch?" and "What does Stoick think?"
"He, he," Hiccup intervened. "He's just kind of grumpy from, um, training yesterday. Come on, let's go get you back to your house…"
Hiccup pulled Jake out of the situation before any questions were asked. "What is wrong with you? He just cuffed you! He didn't hit you!"
"Aren't dragons here sensitive behind the left ear?" protested Jake rubbing his ear.
"No, I-"
"Never mind. I have to find that hourglass!"
"What is up with you and hourglasses?"
"It's the only way I can get home; to the future."
"So you're from the future?" Hiccup asked.
"Yeah."
"You're even weirder than I thought!"
"Talk about weird, everyone here acts as if they've never seen a person before!"
"We've never seen a person like you, Jake," Hiccup defended. "Maybe my dad's right for once, maybe I should stay away from a weirdo like you."
"But, I need help…"
"Yes, you do."
"No, I need help finding it!" Jake cried. He took a deep breath. "If you want me to get out of here, I need you to help me find the hourglass."
Hiccup silently stared at Jake. Then let out a sigh. "I'll help you," he said finally. "But you owe me big time."
"Yeah, I do!" Jake agreed. "Now where is somewhere that things randomly end up?"
The Viking smirked. "At the old dragon's nest."
"Then let's go!" Jake said happily.
"Wait! We're going to need a little more then what we have if we're going to that island," Hiccup said thoughtfully.
"Like what?"
"Girl power."
A short one at last! Nothing more needs to be said to say what we're all thinking.
Note: I never liked romances, so I'll try my best to satisfy a little of the romance category-meaning there might be EXTREMELY light romance.
