Hi Sapphie here, I am so sorry for not posting for so long, but I made this one extra-long. I am nearly done this Fanfic. And, yes I am working on other Fanfics. I have so many ideas! Thank you for sticking with this story so far. Love Ya! Also, I keep forgetting to mention this but the real Fanfics in this aren't mine, so I can't change anything about it or the plot, info, e.t.c. So give gredit to the writers.
"Alright so this one is called 'Quit Pressuring Me!' by CeCdancer that is in progress but think it is a nice one to continue with," said Sapphie, searching on her laptop. [Since this one is In-Progress, in this chapter I'll just type up what has been published so far] "Ok, summary: 'We all know how Fishlegs interrogation went, but how did the rest of the teens do?"
Chapter 1: Tuffnut
Everyone was listening contently for the story to start, that got some wondering, and how did they go? YFishlegs at this point remembered this and felt that something terrible was going to happen.
"Tell us what you know about the dragons, boy," said a gruff voice, similar to an Outcast's.
"Why should I tell you? And what do I get in return?" asked Tuffnut, who had been tied against rock.
"Whoa. What? It's my turn?" YTuffnut said with a dumb folded look plastered on his face. YRuffnut sighed at her brother's stupidity while the other Vikings were getting a bit worried. "Ah, brings back memories." said OTuffnut. "Yeah, I remember you were as scared as ever." cackled ORuffnut. "Guys!" hissed OAstrid.
There was a long pause before the voice started up again, "You'll find out soon enough," it said as a feminine scream filled the cave.
Tuffnut paused, "Ruffnut?" he asked, squinting to see through the darkness.
"Tuff?" came a hoarse reply, "Is that really you?" asked Ruffnut.
"Uhh, yeah?" answered Tuffnut, "Um, why do you sound like that, sis?" he asked.
Many face palmed at his simple mindedness, "I don't know!" yelled YRuffnut punching YTuffnut in the stomach.
There was no reply.
"Ruff?" asked Tuffnut.
Suddenly, something whipped into the air, causing Ruffnut to scream. Tuffnut desperately tried to fight his way out of the ropes, wanting to find his sister. He fought against his bindings, "What are you doing to her!" he yelled.
"Wow Ruff I have never heard you scream before." Commented YFishlegs.
"Yeah Sis!" answered a slightly confused YTuffnut. While the rest of the teens were waiting for the next part the Vikings were fidgeting around trying not to look worried much.
The person laughed darkly as Ruffnut screamed even louder—Tuffnut swore he heard something hit the ground. He started to sweat as he heard his sister's pants fill the cave. He grew frantic, "What do you want from her?" he yelled.
"My boy, it is not what I want from her…but what I want from you," the voice said, chuckling slightly.
"From me?" Tuffnut asked in a small voice.
There was another long pause, this time accompanied by Ruffnut's distressed screams. Tuffnut's breathing grew rapid until he blurted out, "Okay! Okay! I'll tell you everything!" he cried.
"Aw! Little boy wants his big sister." Teased YSnotlout.
"Shut up! I'm acting!" snapped YTuffnut.
"Yeah. Right." Said OSnotlout.
"Wait I didn't know you could act Tuff?" questioned OFishlegs.
"Yeah. I thought you hated acting!" said YRuffnut.
"Um… Aw. Shut up sis!" yelled YTuffnut.
The person laughed, "I knew you would come around," it said, pushing Ruffnut into him. Tuffnut could feel his sister shaking, "What do you want to know," he asked in a broken voice.
"Tuffnut," Ruffnut stuttered, "Don't tell them…please…" she begged, gripping onto Tuffnut's arm.
"Wow sis you do care." Said OTuffnut.
"Hush Idiot!" hissed ORuffnut.
"If you don't tell me, your sister is going to get it," the voice said.
Tuffnut took a deep breath, "Hiccup rides a Night Fury named Toothless, they lead the dragon academy…thing. Astrid is the prettiest girl in the entire village, and she rides a dragon named Stormfly, she's a Nadder. Then there's Fishlegs, he rides a Gronkle…and they're both pretty big. My idiot sister and I ride an completely awesome Zippleback, named Barf and Belch—he's completely awesome, did I mention that already? Lastly there's Snotface—er, I mean Snotlout—he rides a Monstrous Nightmare named Hookfang, and they're both troublemakers," he admitted.
"Idiot!" said the Astrids. Everyone face palmed at his stupid description.
The voice didn't reply.
"Umm, hello?" said Tuffnut as he felt Ruffnut's grip loosening.
Ruffnut let out a scream as she was pulled away from her brother. Tuffnut's eyes went wide, "What are you doing to her? Let her go!" he yelled.
The person said, " You didn't give me enough information…so you'll have to make a sacrifice," it smirked.
Tuffnut thrashed, "Take me instead!" he yelled, "I can take you all through Berk, I can spy undercover! I can take you through all the underground tunnels...and I can also show you all the dragon's weaknesses!" he yelled.
*Sigh* "Oh no Tuff." Said YHiccup.
…
Suddenly, there was a flash of light as Toothless and Hookfang lit up the torches, revealing his friends—who did not look happy.
"Great acting Ruff!" praised Hiccup, "But, Tuff! What was that?" asked Hiccup.
"See! I was acting!" exclaimed YTuffnut.
"Oh I didn't know you could do acting or even think." Teased ORuffnut.
"That was the dumbest thing that I have ever seen! Oh...er, heard," agreed YSnotlout.
"That was the dumbest thing that I have ever seen! Oh...er, heard," agreed Snotlout.
"Creepy." Said YHiccup.
"That was even worse than me," said Fishlegs, astonished.
"Yup." Answered ORuff.
Now while Ruffnut could've been making fun of how weak her brother had sounded during his test, she couldn't help but wonder why he had said those things about Astrid…
"Ha! I told you Ruff is jealous of Astrid!" yelled YSnotlout.
"Well it is because she is pretty," stated ORuffnut counting her fingers, "She is second best, she is Hiccup's girlfriend and do I need to list anymore?"
At the comment YHiccup and YAstrid were blushing madly.
"—Ruff? You have anything to add?" asked Hiccup.
Ruffnut looked up, "No," she said, letting her gaze fall to her boots—surprising everyone.
It sure did.
Hiccup cleared his throat, "Okay then…" he said, uncertainly, "I guess we can work on interrogations some other time," he said, "Ruff? Can you untie your brother?" he asked.
"Aww! I don't wanna!" complained YRuff.
"I guess so," she sighed.
"Yo! Hic, can yah find a doctor! Something is wrong with Ruff. I think we broke her!" announced OTuff.
"Great," he said, "Meet us back in the Academy when you've finished," he said, receiving a nod from Ruffnut. The teens looked at each other and shrugged as they left the cave. Ruffnut set her torch down and slowly trudged over to where her brother was and began unwinding the ropes. Usually when the twins were together, they would either be arguing or at least be talking…but they were never silent. Well, except for now…
"Ruff?" YTuffnut asked awkwardly.
"Ruff?" Tuffnut asked awkwardly.
"What," YRuffnut spat.
"What," Ruffnut spat.
"I think I'm starting to get scared now." Whispered YHiccup to YAstrid.
'Sigh'
Tuffnut tried to make eye contact, "Uh…what's wrong?" he asked.
Ruffnut didn't reply.
"…Sis?" he asked.
Ruffnut sighed, "Am I really that annoying?" she asked quietly.
"…What?" he asked.
Ruffnut sighed again, "You said that Astrid was the prettiest girl in Berk…" she mumbled.
"Yeah you jerk!" spat ORuff.
"Thanks for the compliment Tuff." Replied OAstrid.
"Wait? What is a compliment?" asked YTuffnut.
"Idiot." Whispered Sapphie, face plaming.
Tuffnut was taken aback, "Wh-what?!" he stuttered, "I didn't—I mean, I don't know about—" he said.
Ruffnut finished the untying the last knot, "Just forget about it," she said, getting onto Barf.
Tuffnut stared at her blankly, "Come on, we don't want to keep Hiccup waiting," said Ruffnut.
"Yeah last time he made us have to clean the Dragon Stables." Said OTuffnut.
"Yeah that was horrible." Answered ORuffnut.
"Nice to hear that Hiccup has gotten stricter." Said Stoick.
""Yeah, so glad." OSnoutlout sarcastically replied. "When I disobeyed his 'very' important orders I was used as his sword fighting dummy." He shivered at the memory.
At that comment everyone looked over at the Hiccups.
"What? He was getting on my nerves and I had to practise my sword fighting, I can't get sloppy." Defended OHiccup.
Tuffnut scrambled his thoughts as they flew back to Berk in silence. Tuffnut couldn't help but steal quick glances as his sister, who seemed to be quieter than usual. Tuffnut didn't know what he did...but he told himself to never do it again, whatever it was.
Chapter 2: Astrid
"Why do we have to wear these stupid masks?" asked Ruffnut, pulling on the itchy material that was wrapped around her face.
"Shhh, we need to be quiet so Astrid doesn't hear us," hushed Hiccup.
"What are you doing?" asked YAstrid.
"Why?" Tuffnut asked loudly.
Hiccup sighed, "Not all interrogations are planned, Tuff," he said.
"Ohhh." YTuffnut.
"Ohhhh," said Tuffnut, "Wait, so why are we doing—"
Hiccup cut him off, "It's Astrid's turn," he said, "And I want it to be a surprise."
"Hiccup." OAstrid asked." What are you planning?"
The Hiccups shrugged.
"That's great, because I love surprises!" exclaimed Tuffnut.
"Great!" Hiccup said, thrusting rope into the male twin's arms, "Then you can tie her up and bring her outside," he said.
"I am going to kill you Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third!" snarled the Astrids.
"I hate suprises." The Tuffnuts mumbled.
Tuffnut's face fell, "…I hate surprises," he mumbled, trudging into the Hofferson household. Tuffnut wearily glanced around and slightly pulled his mask down. He peered into her parents bedroom, hoping that they wouldn't wake up to find their daughter missing.
Slowly, Tuffnut climbed up the stairs into Astrid's bedroom, where she lay asleep. Tuffnut gaped at Astrid, for she was wearing no shoulder pads and had her hair down. He closed his mouth and sneered—Astrid was not going be happy about this…
"Of course not. You Idiot!" screamed Astrid.
Astrid's screams were muffled as Tuffnut gagged her with the rope, and then wound the rest of it around her writhering body. After successfully—and quietly—completing his mission, Tuffnut grabbed Astrid and ran out the door—where the teens proceeded to take her to the darkest, most unknown part of the woods.
Tuffnut clumsily threw Astrid down and proceeded to unwind the rope covering her mouth…
"YOU SON OF A HALF TROLL!" screamed YAstrid tackling YTuffnut.
"Ha ha!" laughed YSnotlout, pointing do to the passed out Tuffnut with a black eye, bruised jaw and scratches all over his face.
YHiccup quietly chuckled but YAstrid still heard him.
"OH I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU MR!" sreamed YAstrid chasing YHiccup.
Let's just say that things didn't end out so well for him in the end.
"Son of a half-troll! What in Thor's name do you think you are doing?!" she cried as she struggled to free herself from the ropes.
Hiccup cleared his throat and stepped closer to her—Astrid couldn't see anyone because the teens had all worn black—and growled, "Where is Hiccup? And—most importantly—where is that Night Fury of his?" he said in his best 'Dagur the Deranged' voice.
"Aye." Spoke Gobber
Astrid swallowed, "Hiccup, this isn't funny," she squirmed.
Snotlout purposely rustled the bushes before emerging, "Out with it!" he yelled, "You don't know what we're capable of," he sneered in his best 'Alvin the Treacherous' voice.
"Aye, Aye. With you Gobber." Replied Stoick.
Astrid pulled her shoulder's back, "You can't make me!" she yelled.
"We'll see about that," Hiccup boasted, "Bring out the prisoner!" he yelled.
"Wait there is a prisoner?" asked OTuff.
Tuffnut clumsily ran out from his hiding place, "Astrid!" he gasped.
"Oh bother." Replied YTuff.
Astrid paused for a moment—that voice sounded so familiar…
"Oh Astrid," said Snotlout in a sing-song voice, "Did you miss your Uncle Finn?" he jeered.
Astrid gasped, "….Un-Unc-Uncle F-F-Finn?"
"Wh-What?!" gasped YAstrid outraged.
"Astrid? Is that really you?" Tuffnut said, trying not to laugh, "My! Look how much you've grown!" he exclaimed.
"Oh oh." Sang Sapphie.
Now it was Fishlegs' and Ruffnut's turn to make their appearance, "Alright! Break it up! The party's over," Fishlegs' grunted in his best 'Savage' voice.
"Aye." Giggled Gobber.
"Wait!" Astrid called.
The teens smiled inwardly...Astrid had fallen for it!
"I hate you!" said OAstrid, while punching OHiccup.
"No you don't!" he replied cheekly. [Does anyone know that reference? If you do comment and you get a shout out! ^x^]
Snotlout got back into character, "What is it now?" he sighed.
"…Can I make an exchange?" she asked quietly.
Hiccup thought about it, "An exchange hmm?" he said, "Like what?" he sneered.
"Anything!" she shouted.
Snotlout stepped even closer to Astrid, "Tell us where the Book of Dragons is," he said, "…and help us conquer Berk," he said.
Astrid froze, "Conquer…Berk?" she asked quietly.
"Did he not just say that?" huffed Hiccup.
"Shut up." Spat YAstrid, still ticked with the other teens especially Hiccup, even though this is a FanFic.
Astrid's face had contorted into a mix of emotions, "…Can I just see him first?" she asked in a small voice.
"Then you'll tell us where the Book of Dragons is?" asked Snotlout.
Astrid sighed, "…Yes," she muttered.
"And how to conquer Berk?" asked Hiccup, who was beginning to grow worried.
Astrid paused, "…No," she said, as Hiccup sighed in relief.
Hiccup shook his head and got back into character, "WHAT!" he yelled.
Astrid cringed, "Please," she said, "I-I-I just want to see him," she begged.
The teens glanced at each other. If they let Astrid see her "Uncle", she would automatically know it was a them—although they were surprised that she hadn't seen through their disguises yet. Hiccup decided that they should play it safe, so he backed away from her, "No chance," he said.
Snotlout caught on, "Grab the prisoner!" he hollered, "…We're going back to Outcast Island!" he jeered.
"What? NO!" she yelled.
The break in her voice made all the teens freeze-Astrid never openly showed any emotion…so why now?
"Oh crud." Said the Astrids. [I dislike using said a lot but I can't think of any other ones so bear with it]
Hiccup felt his heart sink a little, "Come to us when you're ready," he finished, as they quickly made their way out of the forest.
The ropes were loose enough for Astrid to take them off, but she didn't. She was paralyzed with shock, completely unsure of what to do. She bit back her lip and shivered as her hair blew in the sudden breeze, sending chills up her spine. Astrid sighed and started aimlessly walking in the direction where she assumed the village was, completely oblivious to her-now concerned-friends .
"This, um awkward." Sang Sapphie. "I'll just, um, be right back." She said stepping out of the room. "Oh ready, you guys can have a little look around for a bit to cease the tension, just don't touch anything."
Well that was awkward. Sorry for not updating for a while, I have been so busy.
Love Ya!
