Weirdly awesome!

A/N: So, sorry for the long delay, I haven't been able to work on anything really, my dad came home from jail about 3 weeks ago, and he's been trying to get reaquainted with the family, so, I haven't had any free time to myself. The only reason I got my Star vs the Forces of Evil fic is because it's a rewrite of an old one I did last month. It's already written, I just split it into different parts and added author's notes. So, please enjoy this :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with HTTYD, just my OC's and the idea for THIS particular story.

Ryan PoV

Ok, weird but not that weird. Still, kind of weird that a girl is following me around. I mean, I know that I'm the new kid, and chicks did the whole mysterious past and a nice smile or whatever, but this is just getting ridiculous. Oh, and also weird. The girl, Rachel Freya I think her name is? Yeah, the redhead in me and Henry's classes, she keeps on following me. Like, one time I'm just walking down the hall to my locker, and I feel someone's eyes on me. One of the perks of having magic like mine, and also working with Drago, I've learned to sense when things start getting… weird. For one word.

So, turning around, I scan the crowd walking behind me, and after a minute of this, I spot her lurking around a corner just staring at me. We lock eyes, and I raised an eyebrow. She then backs away into the corner and I don't see her again until history class.

Same thing happens for the next few days, all the way up until the point where she started following me home on Friday. So, when the snapping of a branch, and the subtle curse she tried to stifle, I didn't need to think much before figuring out that it's her. So I darted forward and hid behind a tree. Then, for a special measure, I used my magic.

Feeling it surge through me, the diamond-like particle appeared around me, and I warped upward. Ok, imagine everything being inverted, up becomes down, forward becomes backwards, and everything else gets all distorted. Well, that's what it looks like as I warp myself upwards, part of me still in the physical world, the other in warp space, and I come out on a branch about 50 feet above where I was at. The only sure sign that I was there is a trail of glowing energy, only visible to those with a trained eye.

Sighing, I wait, but not too long. Rachel runs past my tree a few yards, and stops. She looks all over the ground, as if trying to track some footsteps, but she sighs, and leaves, trailing behind a string of curses as she goes back to the school.

But what made today weird, she was a no show. I spent most of the day looking for her, but it became apparent in homeroom that she was out for the day.

So, yeah. Wierd.

Hiccup PoV after school

"How much farther?" Snotlout complained for the upteenth time in the past 15 minutes. "We've been walking for ever!"

"It's not forever Sam, it's been 20 minutes-"

"I have to agree on Snotlout for this," Fishlegs interrupted. "This is the most I've had to walk in one sitting since, well, ever." You see, this is what happens when you rely on your dragon too much.

"Yeah, my feet and butt is killing me," Ruffnut said.

"Well, that's good," her brother replied. "Cuz, from what I've heard, a hurt butt is a sure way to get it-" He didn't finish as Ruff decked him in the face and continued to walk. "OH! I am hurt! I am very much hurt, mostly in the nasal region!"

"Huh, I didn't think he knew that vocabulary word," I remarked. Then I did a mental double take. I'm not bothered by the act of violence like I was a first. heck, I wasn't even phased by Snotlout's show of force… like I use to. Maybe I'm beginning to get use to being in a group… weired. But awesome!

"Why do you even live out here anyway?" Snotlout said. "What happened to that house you had on fleet street?"

"You mean when I was 3?" I said surprised. "Snotlout, that was years ago. My Dad became mayor and a CEO of a company that helps the war effort and, well…. When Mom died, he kind of had a midlife crisis and spent half of our money on, well, see for yourself."

I motioned forward to my house/mansion/manor-oh you all get it! And they all, except for Astrid, gasped and got slack jawed at the beauty that is my house. "Welcome to Haddock Manner," I said jokingly, but it is actually called Haddock Manner.

Then we all, meaning all of them except for me and Astrid, walked/ran to the front door and waited for me to open it. "Please, feel free to make yourselves at home. We have a fully stocked kitchen, and a tv with satellite cable in the living room." Ruff, Tuff and Fishlegs made a beeline for what I'm assuming is the kitchen, but they were heading to the back hallway. "HEY!" I yell at them. They stop and turn around. I point to my left and say, "The kitchens that way." They smile and run to where I was pointing.

Snotlout walks in front of me and says, "You said you have cable?" I had forgotten that he complained, very loudly in fact, that his dad forgot to pay the cable bill two weeks ago and still hasn't paid it. It must be getting to him.

"Uh, yeah," I said. "I have some gaming systems, but their in my room. I don't really have company over, so, it's set up in my room all the time, and it's only really big enough for 2 or 3 people."

He nods and walks off to the kitchen. On his way, Ryan passes him, he side steps him but Snotlout doesn't even acknowledge him. "Hey, uh, Henry?" Ryan says. "Why are Renee, Travis and Freddie pigging out in the kitchen?"

"Oh, hey Ryan. How'd you get here so fast?" I asked.

"Well, since Gobber was locked up in his office all day, I decided to head home early. Why, did he notice I was gone?" He said the last part kind of panicky.

"No, no," Astrid said. "Though, I wouldn't make a habit out of it. He's bound to notice eventually."

"Ha," he chuckles. "Duly noted. But seriously Hiccup, you might want to do something about your possy, I think they were getting into the pudding we made for dinner tonight."

"Oh no!" I yelled. "My dad said to not touch it until he had a bowl full!"

"Heh heh, yeah, I mean, we can always make more. Oh, by the way, Astrid, I'm gonna ask this for Hiccup. Wanna join us for Dinner? I'll make myself scarce until desert-"

"AAAAAHHHHHH" I yelled out as I ran to the kitchen. I could hear Astrid laughing behind me, but I was more worried about the pudding and my dad's wrath. But when I get there, I see them jump up when I ran in yelling, and a bunch of sandwich making stuff as well.

"What, what, what!? What'd I do, is the bread cursed?" Tuffnut yelled, spilling his half made sandwich all over the counter.

"Uh, no, Ryan told me that you were getting into the pudding?" It came out as a question as I saw no pudding anywhere in the kitchen.

"Oh, that," Ruffnut said.

"We were about to get into that," Fish said, "but Ryan was in here eating a soup, and he told us that you guys were saving that for dinner, so, we put it back."

"O-oh," I said, my face going red from embarrassment. "Ok, carry on then."

"So," Astrid and Ryan came in behind me. "When are you gonna show them?"

"First," Freddie said though a mouthful of roast beef on white bread. "I wanna know*gulps* I wanna know why Ryan is living with you here?"

"Oh, uh…" I said stalling, and looking behind me at Ryan, motioning for him to take over.

He sighs and says, "I'm a refugee. I use to live in Utah, but the Dragon Wars pushed me out. I was the only one to make it." Everyone stops what they're doing, except for Tuffnut, who keeps eating, somehow refixing his sandwich, and makes a 'go on' gesture with his sandwich and takes another bite. "Anyway," he continues. "Don't you wanna show them Toothless? I mean, that is the reason you brought them here, right?" The way he said 'right' made it sound that he was done talking about his past.

"U-um, y-yah. R-right this way guys." I motion for them, and their sandwiches, to follow me. I go out the back door next to the fridge. "I let him out when I left this morning, he hates being cooped up inside all day."

"Why? Is it a Terrible Terror?" Snotlout mocked.

"Hey!" Tuff said. "DOn't mock the Terrors, they know things!" He did some shifty eyes before doing a 180 and said, "Hmm, they elude me now, but I'll catch them. I'll catch them eventually!"

"Um… I know this is probably stupid of me to ask now," I say, "but is he always like this?" I point to him while looking at his sister.

"Hey, why are you looking at me? If he's like that, then I'm like that, I AM his twin sister you know," she says while going over and tripping him. "Noo! THey've got me!" "Plus, it's fun to do that," She grins evilly.

I didn't say anything which gave Sam an opportunity to, "So where is this dragon that my dear baby cousin was so proud about?"

"Oh, Toothless?" I said grinning. "He's hanging from the wall of the house behind you."

"Wait, what?" The all turn around to see a 200 lb jet black Night Fury staring down at everyone. He's clawed onto somewhere on the second story upside down.

"Yeah, he's been there since I told him to show you guys a surprise," I said as he detached himself from the wall and landed with a thump in front of Snotlout. He yelped and jumped back. "Everybody, meet Toothless, Toothless, everybody." He growled friendly like outloud, but in my head he said, Greetings humans of my human. "Hmm, never heard it put quite like that before."

"Wait, what?" Snotlout said again. "You can hear him?"

"Well, yeah. Still gives me a headache sometimes, but we're getting the hang of it."

"But… but, but….. But how?"

I was shot down, Toothless said helpfully. "Oh yeah, he had a rider, but was shot down. I found him, and we bonded. We've been working together on our communication skills all weekend. I'm so gonna ace the class."

They were all speechless, all except Astrid and Ryan, they both seemed to find it amusing. Ruff and Tuff were, examining, I guess you could call it, Toothless. They were looking under his wings, armpits and Tuffnut even managed to get his mouth open , and when he saw no teeth, "Weird…." Then with a muscle movement, his shark-like teeth sprang out. "Weird," he said again, "but awesome!" The last part he yelled out and jumped up with his fists in the air.

I chuckled and noticed Ryan walking away. "Hey, where are you going?"

He turned around, "Oh, the toilets backed up. I think your dad got sick or something, but it's not working now, and I don't even know where the other 20 bathrooms are, so, I'ma pee in the woods."

"O-oh…"

"Need help?" Ruffnut said. We all turned to look at her. "What?" She said oblivious. "He's hot and, wait, where'd he go?" We all looked to where he was but it's like he vanished into thin air. "Did I scare him off?

"Oh no," I said sarcastically, "you just made him blush madly from your weirdness."

"Weird awesomeness?" She asked hopefully.

"Uh, no," I deadpanned. Her face fell.

Ryan PoV

Ok, so the day can get weirder. Remind me to avoid Renee Thornton like the plague for the rest of my life. But that's not why I'm in the woods, and for the record, Hiccup doesn't have 20 bathrooms, it's more like 17… and a half. But, again, why I'm in the woods? Because of her.

Standing just inside the tree line was Rachel Freya. I saw her in the woods after I felt that something was staring at me, and I went to investigate. She was just staring at me for a few minutes, and I her, until I said, "Ok, no more games. Who are you?"

She smiled sheepishly and said, "I'll tell you, but you're gonna find this a bit… weird."
