Chapter 9 people, enjoy ;)
"Hi, see you got some phone connection in Africa after all, how is everything going?" Hiccup yet again whispered at his cell phone alone with Toothless in Stoick's room.
"Yes I finally found a place with sme connection and so far everything is going great." "But what about you Hiccup, come on I want to hear everything."
"Okay, but I don't know where to start.." Hiccup looked up and saw that the coast was clear as he listened to his caller's request.
"Well, how about some picture, you promised you would take some to send to me before I left on the pane."
"Okay, I just sent them now," Hiccup wanted to talk some more but Toothless signaled him that Stoick was coming. "Oh no, we,re breaking up...Our connection must be breaking, can't talk some more but I wish we could...I have to go now, love you." One click on the End Call button and Hiccup sighed in relief since Stoick didn't notice anything at all. "So what brings you in here good sir?"
"You and Toothless, get up, get your stuff, and follow me..." They followed Stoick silently until they came to a door. Stoick looked down at Hiccup before stating, "I need my room back." With that the door opened, which revealed a huge and better room to Hiccup and Toothless's eyes. The bed was black with green blankets that has dragon symbols on top of them, including the pillows. Posters of inventors, dragons, dog trainers, and dogs were hanging all over the room. Toothless and Hiccup loved the new look so much that they were speechless. "Oh my gods, this room is...I-I don't have the words to describe how awesome this is."
"Glad you like it, took some time but I manage to see some of your interests.."
"Oh the dragons...Uh you weren't looking at my sketch book were you?"
"Toothless showed me, sorry should have told you."
Hiccup looked down at Toothless and muttered to said dog, "Traitor."
"What was that Hiccup?"
"Oh uh nothing sir, just giving Toothless another cracker..." Toothless looked up eagerly for the treat but then shot a glare at Hiccup when he received the peanut butter kind.
"So just to make things clear, we're going to set up some new and improved rules.." "You see in life it's kinda like a football game."
"Why am I not surprised."
"Just stay with me Hiccup, anyway, sometimes in life you get hit with something you didn't expect like the opposing team's quarter back." "You would have to face them head on, never stop trying." For once Toothless rested his head on Stoick, shocking said man but not Hiccup apparently. "Hiccup, why is Toothless..."
"Oh Toothless only does that to show that he is now beginning to trust another person we meet, so he's beginning to trust you now." Hiccup explained, as he petted Toothless, who seemed to enjoy the attention very much. Ao the rest of the afternoon was spent asking and answering questions while watching televison or train their dogs.
"So your mother decided to join the navy huh?" "So why is she in Africa?"
"Oh uh, she retired two months ago so she had to make a living." "Okay I have a question for you."
"Ask away Hiccup."
"What's the greatest thing that ever happened to you?" Stoick sat up to answer until the phone rang. "Hold that thought..." "Hello..." "Oh wait a voice message, let's see from who it's from." He clicked on button and a familiar french voice messaged in. "Hello Stoick, it's Tatiana, I just came to Boston and I am coming over at seven p.m sharp...Be perpared to meet your queen, farewell, until we meet.." Stoick smiled as he began to mutter to himself, "Ah, Tatiana is coming at seven, I have plenty of time.." He then checked his watch for the time and then jumped up to clean up. "It's six forty five, oh Thor!"
Hiccup and Toothless were both curious on this Tatiana person so they got up and followed Stoick.
Meanwhile, Stoick was at the bathroom giving himself a small shave until he scratched himself aince Hiccup interrupted, asking, "Who's Tatiana?"
"She's a friend but I'll need you and Toothless to hide in your room and don't come out until I tell you to, just go stay in that room.." He was starting to forget about the whole better father thing in less than a flash but Hiccup didn't move a muscle since Stoick apparently didn't notice him. The football player was in a different room looking for a new suit, not even noticing that Tatiana was entering while Hiccup and Toothless stood guard.
Once the french fashion model turned around, she slightly jumped once she saw Hiccup as he greeted her, "Hi you must be Melody, Stoick has been telling me all about you and your heavy accent."
The model quickly snapped at Hiccup, "I'm Tatiana, what are you some eight year old?" Hiccup instantly snapped back at her while Toothless growled at her. "I'm fifteen years old and I'm Stoick's son." "What are you forty?"
"I'm twenty years old you twig!"
"Oh then you must be another long lost child of Stoick, pleasure to meet you so who's your mom?" Hiccup chuckled along with Toothless. All Tatiana could do was scream, "STOICK!" Right thete, Stoick appeared as he welcomed his girlfriend, "Tatiana it's so good to see you again so I see you already met uh..."
"Hiccup!"
"Yeah, Hiccup and his dog..uh.."
"Toothless!"
"Right again, so why don't we go to dinner and we'll talk so we can catch up." He was leading Tatiana right out while Hiccup and Toothless followed. "So where are we going?"
"The two of us are going to a fancy restaurant while you, and Toothless go to a restaurant right next door called the Peterson's, how exciting.." "I'll drop him off Tatiana then it's be some us." Hiccup looked down at Toothless and then they both winked...Time for operation crush the french lady.
Once Hiccup was dropped off, Stoick was waving for his car to come in until Tatiana noticed a flyer on his suit back pocket that stated, 'Inventor's Competition'. "Stoick, you join inventing contests?"
"No, no Tatiana, it's nothing..." He grabbed the flyer, ripped it up and threw it in the trash until the station wagon showed up, much to Tatiana's surprise. "You now ride station wagon!?" Stoick then tried to stay calm as he tried to reassure her, "No, this car is not mine, but it's still old Stoick the Vast, best football player ever.."
Before they could get in uncomfortably, Mrs. Peterson came rushing out holding on to Hiccup calling out Stoick's name. "Stoick, Stoick!" "I am sorry but Hiccup and Toothless can not stay at our house, my daughter is allergic to Toothless and our room temperature is not right for his prosthetic."
"Really, well my son didn't have any prosthetic problems when he's in my house." He looked down at Hiccup, who pretended to groan in pain while rubbing his left leg. With a sigh he turned to Tatiana but her face says it all, even her voice,"Forget the date, I'm all of a sudden busy, goodbye..You're apparently busy." With that, she walked away to her own pink styled car and drove off, earning Toothless's bark of approval.
End of chapter folks, hoped you enjoyed and see ya next time ;)
