One Shot 6 Hiccup's Prom

Scene 1: The Dare War

All the sports (male and female) team of Berk's Hooligan High conduct a dare war every other year. These were usually the team dared would do something humiliating to them, such as the football team wearing nice dresses for the day, or betterment of Berk... in less than ideal conditions, such as the basketball team cleaning trash off the road during rush hour, or doing something they would not normally do, such as the drill team preforming cheers for the gaming club's LARPG party during a LARPG. This year the last two teams were the Hockey Team and the Football team, they were tied and it was the Hockey Team's turn to issue the dare. All the teams were gathered at Hooligan High's all purpose field, it was 7pm on a Friday night, no games. Everyone was silent as the Hockey Team captain Charles "Clueless" Carlson spoke. "Alright listen up, We of the Hockey team have completed our dare, and now its the Football team's turn."

"Bring it on, Clueless." Stephan "Speedifist" Marcus, the Football Team captain egged on.

"We of the hockey team agreed to issue the following dare; pull a Carrie on Hiccup the Useless" Clueless declared; it was not against the rules of the dare war to issue a prank-dare to be done on a student not involved in the dare war, but those have not been issued since the sophomore year of Hooligan High's golden boy, Stoick the Vast.

"You want us to pull a Carrie on the son of Stoick the Vast, how do you pose we do that, there's no guaranty that Hiccup will win the prom-king election even if we nominate him and I am dating Camicazi." Speedifist remarked.

"Not their problem, you can either attempt and possibly win the dare war or you forfeit." spoke the elected dare commissioner of the year, Dan 'Dogbreath the Dunbrain' Donald. "So Speedifist, football team, do you accept the dare or forfeit?"

The football team, well more accurately the football exclusive athletes, huddled together and after a few minutes Speedifist spoke. "We accept the dare, one condition, everyone here has to vote for Hiccup to be prom-king."

"Does any one make a motion for the condition?" Dogbreath asked.

"I make the motion." said one of the basketball team, Warren 'Wartihog' Karl

"The motion has been made, is it seconded?" Dogbreath asked.

"Second." all the other athletes not on the football and hockey said together.

"The motion has been seconded, all in favor say 'aye'." Dogbreath said dictating the vote.

All but the hockey team said "aye"

"All against say 'nye'"

"Nye!" shouted the hockey team.

"The 'ayes' have it, the motion has passed and we all will vote for Hiccup. Any order of business." silence. "New business going once... twice... thrice... No new business, is there a motion to declare the meeting over?" Dogbreath asked.

"I motion" Clueless declared.

"I second the motion." Speedifist declared.

"The motion has been made and seconded, it is to the vote; all in favor..." Dogbreath said.

"AYE!" everyone shouted.

"The aye's have it, this meeting is over." Dogbreath said and everyone left, heading home.

Scene 2: Camicazi is found out

When Speedifist arrived home after the meeting he saw his girlfriend's bicycle outside. What is Camicazi doing here?, he thought as he walked in. He greeted his folks, whom told him that Camicazi was here to tutor his sister. While it sounds normal to most, Speedifist was suspicious of that. Not that he really had the wit to be suspicious but something felt off to him. Speedifist then headed upstairs to his room, as he passed his sister's door, "Are you sure about this, Cami?" it was his sister's voice she sounded like she was uncertain about something.

"Oh Bella, I am not the one who's nervous. But we don't have to if you don't want to." Camicazi's voice replies with the confidence that came from be absolutely certain. Then Speedifist heard something he never figured he would, the sound of two girls kissing. At first he wasn't sure what to do; listen to more, tell his folks, confront them. He opened the door as he chose the third.

"Well...well...well, my sisters a lesbo and she's making out with my girlfriend."

"A little presumptuous of you, Speedy." Camicazi said in retort. "She's just curious, and that's alright you pretentious twit."

"Please, don't tell Mom and Dad."

"You owe one, Bell. Now what about you, Camicazi are a closet lesbo?"

"The term is lesbian, and no, I am..." Camicazi then paused, she had kept this secret from almost everyone, well her parents knew and they were understanding, but she couldn't tell anyone else while she was in high school, especially after she started dating Speedifist, but now it was out. "bisexual." Camicazi finished weakly, her ego deflating.

"Bisex..." Speedifist started.

"It means I interested in both males and females." Camicazi informed. "Please don't tell anyone." Camicazi said to both, but really it was meant for Speedifist "I'll do anything." those three words would haunt Camicazi for years.

"I won't tell anyone if, Camicazi, you go with The Useless to the Prom, we of the football team have a little surprise of him, don't and kiss your chances for prom-queen good bye as the whole school will know about this." Speedifist rarely showed intelligence beyond passing high enough to stay on the football team, this was one of those rare occasion.

"So what about us?" Camicazi asked, it was clear her dating Speedifist was over as soon as Speedifist made that demand, she just wanted to know what he plains to be the 'official' end.

"Make a scene at school, make me the villain, I don't care, as long as Useless is your date to the prom. Not a word to anyone, sis, or I tell of your experiment." Speedifist then left the room, apparently his parents didn't overhear any of it. He entered his room and finally the realization came, Clueless didn't really care if Speedifist and the football team completed the dare, Clueless wanted Speedifist to be publicly humiliated by Camicazi breaking up with him. The reason was the pack he, Clueless, Dogbreath and Wartihog made to not date Camicazi, what ever happens after that to him (Speedifist) and the rest of the football team if the dare failed or were found out was icing on the cake. "Fuck" was all Speedifist could say to himself over his predicament.

Scene 3: Hiccup the Nominee

It was another Monday morning to Hiccup, up at 5am, to join Stoick in their morning Skype video chat with Valka, she was in South Korea this semester, then breakfast, mostly fruit, a bagel and some bacon and a one a day vitamin supplement for 18 year old males, Stoick's was more or less the same, save his supplemental vitamin was for men over 40 and he had more protein. Hiccup's drive to school was event-less, most people stayed away from the Haddock's family van, it was Hiccup's vehicle now. Not that he needed the space all the time, but he was of the family most likely to use it. Valka was often out of country and thus didn't drive much, Stoick however used a smaller car for his job as Mayor of Berk. Hiccup always was early to school, often to help his mentor, Gobber Belch, out with the preparations for Shop class, granted Hiccup's first period Monday was a study hall, but he was one of the top students, he had valedictorian in the bag, mostly he used it to tutor Freshmen and Sophomores, or to talk with his school assigned 'underclassman' the sophomore Fisher Ingerman. During his home-room period, Hiccup pretty much ignored the messages, why would he care, he heard all this thing from Gobber earlier in the morning... well most of them... and they often had nothing to do with him, until "And now for the nominees for the senior prom prom-king and queen. For Queen we have (three to five girls Hiccup never bothered to remembered there names, they were cheerleaders right? But he called the 'The Spice Girls', a little dated but fitting title... alright a lot dated but still) and finally Camicazi Bog." Hiccup knew Camicazi, she was in most of his classes, granted she never did the AP exams, but she was all in all a nice person... granted she would take on and pown anyone that challenge her. "And now for prom-king nominees: Eret Eretson Jr., and Hekkrulf Horrendous Haddock III... that's it, seriously?" the announcer said clearly going of script at the shock of not being among the nominees, Eret was not a sport player, not unlike Hiccup, but he was as fit as they come, well known in the marching band, second violin in the school's mock orchestra (Hiccup holding the place of first violin), and he was a transfer student from the UK. Hiccup and Eret had a healthy respect-competition relationship in the mock orchestra, each pushing the other to better themselves. If Hiccup had to guess Eret would win prom-king with little trouble and saw no need to actively compete with him, the prom was Eret's time and Hiccup was content with that. "The final announcement is this, from Camicazi to Speedifist "Speedy, this is not going to work out, you can't meet my needs. You always fall short or finish too soon. Also your football career is a jock, I'd wish you the best of luck, but you spent all the luck you can have trying to keep me. Goodbye and Good riddance, Cami." Wait, what, when did we start doing public break-ups? I swear... That's all for this morning. Have a good day." the announcer said trying to regain composure at the things that clearly blindsided him. After the announcements first period started, this time Hiccup spent it as Gobber's assistant, not wanting to deal with the questions that Fisher was going to ask and Fisher's break-down of the probability of Hiccup wining, etc. The rest of the day was mostly avoiding Eret's fan-girls whom he rightfully concluded what him to step down, not that Eret would actually approve of these methods, and freshmen, sophomore and junior girls that wanted to go to the senior prom. There was no rest for the weary as Hiccup found out as finally near the end of the day as his last class finished he was approached by Camicazi.

"Hey Hiccup,"

"Camicazi, what can I do for you?" Hiccup asked weakly.

"I know its all a sudden, but would you be my date to the prom?" Camicazi asked, she was never one to beat around the bush. "I know you have been avoiding underclassmen... women that want the same thing."

"Is this an 'adding insult to injury to Speedifist' thing?"Hiccup asked, not sure what to do.

"Yes and no, yes it will add insult to injury, but I want to expand my palate from jocks and you are something very different and that is a good things. So interested or not?" Camicazi challenged.

"Alright I admit defeat, what color dress are you planning to wear?"

"Just get a black tuxedo and bring as your flower a red rose, you can't go wrong with that. Leave my dress to me. See you around, Cherry-Wolf." Hiccup lowered his head in shame/embarrassment as Camicazi left, he knew he would regret sharing the meaning of his with Camicazi back in elementary school when he did it, but in all fairness he was the only one who knew her name's meaning and like the 'Divine Wind' that destroyed the Mongol fleet in …. and almost destroyed the US fleet stationed in Japan in 1946 (actually it would have destroyed the US pacific fleet if the US invade Japan as originally planed as appose to dropping the atomic bombs... neither here nor there), Camicazi was not something that could weathered, you submitted or you were destroyed. There was a month left until the prom, and he had hoped to be the DJ, now he had to actually attend. He knew how his father would take, like it was a gift from God and that Hiccup should go all out, Valka would understand that Hiccup didn't want to even actually attend the prom but she would be as unsuccessful as Hiccup to get Stoick to see that. So Hiccup prepared his psyche to just go along with his father. Little did Hiccup know that he was being set up.

Scene 4: The set-up

The day of the prom, the football team volunteered to do all the decorations for the prom, well voluntold to be truthful, but they weren't alone, the hockey team was also there. It was customary for the teams that survived the dare war up to the prom to set up the gym for the prom, unless there was already a winner, in which case all the losing teams did it. The reason the hockey team was there, which the football team knew all too well, was not only for the custom but also to ensure that the football team didn't slack off in setting up the prank to be pulled on Hiccup. The only words spoken were relevant setting up.

Scene 5: The Prom from Helhiem

Hiccup knew he looked good, aside from his hair which refuses to be any other way than messy, but his get up, the attire akin to a British nobleman of the 1910's, 1920's and 1930's, the limousine to the Bog's house and then to the prom was over the top, just like he expected his father to go. But he had to admit he like the contrast of Camicazi, whom elected to wear a white tuxedo, she was one of those girls that just don't do dresses and can pull off a white tux. They two were actually very chatting, the two opened up that they each had a crush on the other, which really was a nice boast to Hiccup's self esteem. The prom was actually... kind of... sort of... a little bit... cool, okay a lot cool, Hiccup didn't know that he could 'bust' so many moves, he was surprisingly coordinated, even using moves that no one there thought possible, but his favorite part was the waltz before the coronation, while he and Camicazi both knew that they as a couple would never make it past high school, Hiccup saw in Camicazi's eyes that maybe there was a chance that he would have a girlfriend in high school, even if it was for a few weeks and then the announcement of the prom-king and queen. "Thank you all for coming and I hope you all are having a good time." in was the school morning announcer, "Well the votes are in, and for Prom-queen with only five votes against Camicazi Bog." pause for the cheering as Camicazi went to receive the crown as prom-queen. In all fairness, Camicazi earned the title, she was tough but she was the same tough to everyone she treated jocks like nerds and nerds like jocks, in other words she won because of her fair and constant treatment of all the voting poll. It also helped her that she never gave any clearly fake 'thank you' speech.

"This is what happens when treat everyone fairly, you get your just desserts." was all Camicazi said and took her spot on the stage as prom-queen.

"And now for prom-king, it was a close call, we had to count the bailouts thrice but with 51% of the votes, Hekkrulf Haddock is the prom-king." the announcer said and Hiccup came up to the stage and received the crown, as soon as he was crowned and turned to face the crowd the trap stung and at least 15 to 20 gallons but no more than 30 gallons of pigs blood fell on him. Almost everyone was speechless, people were know to be cruel to Hiccup in the past but this was just plain evil. The hockey team members were stoic at the scene but the football team couldn't hold in together as they broke out in laughter.

"I knew you were going to do something Speedifist, but this, pulling a Carrie? I am so glad we are done. I cannot accept this, I am calling the mayor." Camicazi was the first to actually speak after what felt like forever but was only like three minutes tops as she took out her cellphone and called Stoick "Hello, Mayor Haddock, this is Camicazi Bog, there has been an incident at the high school, the football team had pulled a Carrie on Hekkrulf." "A Carrie is making a person win the prom-king/queen, get them to have the best person of the opposite sex to be their date and then have pig's blood dumped on the person. I think I was an unwitting co-conspirator, I was forced to ask Hekkrulf to be my date. You better come down here as soon as you can." While all that happened Eret, clearly being a good sportsman helped Hiccup into the boy's locker room to shower as much as the pig blood as possible both off Hiccup and out of his cloths.

"And that is why since Stoick the Vast, dare-wars customary only target the participants, now we all have to give statements to the police and the principle and this night is ruined." The announcer said clearly not happy at the development.

Scene 6: Justice is a dish best served right out of the frying-pan

It was hours later, everyone had given their statements and now Hiccup was inside the principle's office, he was thankful to be in a clean sweatshirt and sweatpants Stoick brought. He was not alone as Principle Mulch was at his desk, Mr. Bucket, Mulch's assistant was standing to the right of the principle and his father, Stoick, was right next to him. "So what shall be done, Mulch?" Stoick asked.

"As you know what happened is not against the school rules or the laws, it just not customary, since we were here as students. The only thing I can think of is do what the parents and principle did back before the dare-war stopped issuing prank-dare that targeted nonparticipants, let the vic... sorry Hekkrulf, decide the appropriate punishment." Stoick could not argue with Mulch, he remembered the last time the dare-war involved a prank against someone not involved, that dare almost destroyed his chances with Valka, then a freshman that was not involved in any sports.

"I remembered, Valka ordered that all teams rematch the second place team of the year and if the other team won we had to give to them our hard own gold, we barely kept our undefeated record that year." Stoick said looking back.

"Dad, would you say I take after Mom, more than you?" Hiccup asked getting the focus back on him.

"Yes, I have to admit you really are your mother's son. Why do you ask?"

"Like mother like son, I want to see all the teams to bleed, sweat and cry to keep their gold this year." Hiccup said in an uncharacteristic wrath, Stoick knew that wrath and it scared him, as did it scare Mulch and Bucket, it was clearly a slightly more mature masculine version of Valka's when she issued her demand for justice, Valka was 15 at the time. "And I want them to start Monday night." Hiccup added. Valka was slightly more merciful, she gave the teams a week to prep. But the Carrie pulled on Hiccup was far worse than what happened to Valka. "Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but Justice is best severed right out of the frying-pan."

"As for Camicazi, she admitted to be a co-conspirator?" Bucket mentioned.

Hiccup said nothing at first, he was thinking. "I don't want the school to punish her, I know what will be justice."

The only other person left was Camicazi, she was out side the building, she was cursing herself How could I have been so... vain, this crown for what... Hiccup's... no was … he'll never want me to be his friend again. Why was I so... I am a terrible human being.

"Camicazi." Camicazi turned and faced Hiccup. She never felt so vile and thankfully she never would again. "We... you and I... as a couple... we both know it was not going to last past graduation, but now it's never going to happen. We are still friends, but you are no longer my best friend. I hope it was worth it." Hiccup then left her, she took the limousine home while Hiccup went home with his father. And while Hiccup and Camicazi remained friends during the last few weeks of high school it was something that Hiccup was not sure her would want to re-visits at least until after college.

Starting the following Monday and ending that Friday, all the Hooligan High sports teams began their forced rematches, not a single team was able to keep their gold, individuals were able to keep their, and Hooligan High's undefeated record was broken.
