I walked slowly to the arena the next day. Yesterday had been a huge disaster, but I guess that was my fault for getting my hopes up. Hiccup didn't have near-death experience in the first five minutes, and I had thought that maybe, just maybe, he would get better at this whole killing dragons thing.
Thor, was I wrong.
I approached the arena, stopping before the door. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath.
"What are you doing, babe?"
I groaned. So much for a quiet moment.
I turned around to face Snotlout. "Just hoping that Hiccup won't get us killed this time," I informed him.
Snotlout laughed, "Hiccup? Oh man, he couldn't not not mess up if he tried." Snotlout paused, "Or is it he couldn't not mess up? Could not mess up? Whatever. What I'm trying to say is that if Hiccup messes up, I'll save you babe."
I turned around, rolling my eyes. "Well, no need to stand around. Let's go in," I suggested.
Snotlout and I walked in, Snotlout walking a little too close. I stepped away.
"And so the chief said, 'If I wanted to get yak fur in my helmet, I would've done so myself!'"
I turned around and saw Tuffnut telling Ruff a joke.
"Get it?" He continued, "Because the yak hair in his helmet-"
"We get it," Snotlout called, crossly.
"Woah, when did you guys get here?" Tuff exclaimed. I sighed.
"Hey guys!" Fishlegs shouted.
"And now you're hear too?" Tuffnut cried, "This is just to freaky."
"Alright, lets get started!" Gobber called as he walked in, Hiccup trailing behind. "Pair up!"
Snotlout smiled at me, "Hey babe!"
"Sorry," I said, "but I'm with Ruffnut." I grabbed her arm.
"Huh?" She grunted. I smiled at her, nodding to Snotlout. "Oh yeah, best partner in the world." She claimed.
We smiled at Snotlout as he shuffled away to find someone.
"Here," Gobber gave us each a bucket filled with water, "you'll be needing this."
Gobber handed the buckets out to the other pairs, Snotlout and Tuffnut, and Hiccup and Fishlegs.
Gobber opened the gate to the dragon, causing a Hideous Zippleback to jump out. They were to headed, and one started to breath out a green gas.
"The Hideous Zippleback," Gobber announced, "one head lets out a poisonous gas, the other head lights it. Remember, a wet head can't light fire, so you'll have to decide which one is which." By this time, the green gas had filled the entire arena, and it became hard to see anything, much less differentiate between the two heads. I squinted, but I couldn't see anything.
I turned around, trying to find anything. Then I got drenched.
I gritted my teeth when I heard Tuffnut laughing.
"We thought you guys were dragons!" He laughed.
"N-not there's anything wrong with a dragon-esque figure," Snotlout stuttered.
I couldn't control my self. I punched Snotlout, beating him to the ground. But then I backed away. A little violence was understandable, but too much could get me in trouble.
In the midst of this, Ruffnut and I had both dropped our buckets. It was down to Fishlegs and Hiccup. I squintes, looking around for them, and I heard a scream.
"I am hurt! I am very much hurt!" Tuffnut yelled. I looked at the spot where he disappeared, trying to find him. He ran out of the fog, yelling at the top of his lungs.
The gas had started to clear and I saw Fishlegs. I looked up and saw one of the heads. Fishlegs threw up the water, coating the Zipplebacks head. The dragon opened up its mouth, breathing out gas. Wrong head.
I look over to Hiccup. Now both heads are turned towards him, one still breathing gas.
'Come on Hiccup, this is easy!' My thoughts are going wild.
Hiccup throws the water up with all his might, but it doesn't reach. I groan.
But then he starts commanding the dragon to back up, and they do! Hiccup manages to push them back into their cage. He throws something at them, making them recoil even more. He closes the gates.
We all stare at him with different emotions.
Wonder.
Fear.
Amazement.
Hate.
I am unsure how I feel.
Hiccup awkwardly stares back at us.
"Is there- can I- I gotta go- yeah." Hiccup stammers, walking out of the arena. I stare after him.
How the names of Thor and Oden did he do that?
