So, chapter 10 everyone Chow!
I AM SO SORRY IF THIS IS NOT NEW I JUST RE FORMAT IT AND I WILL TAKE A TIME TO THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT REALLY SORRY ABOUT THAT.
It was a really weird day in Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the III's life. First he woke up with his mother on top of his chest and then he still couldn't get over how amazingly his grandmother Victoria has a cook! This made him wish that he knew them when he was a tot. He made note to ask his mother more about them after he found a way to get back to his time.
After he helped Berk's Blacksmith by making some material's needed for the reconstruction, and fixing, repairing, and making weapons. He was glad that the storm left fairly minimal damage, to that effect he was quick to finish up and then go to the forest and meet up with Toothless in the cave he stayed in.
There was a good thing to come out from helping his village or... rather Magnus's village. Anyway, he got to meet Gobber's dad, Boomer the Loud, and boy did he suit his title; aside from that, he is a good man, just like Gobber, he was a joyful and merry man who had all of his limbs, and likes to sing too, now Hiccup knew where Gobber got his cheeriness and skill in being blacksmith.
Then he met the people, he know some of them, of course. There was Finn Hofferson and his brother Gunnar, and those two are well Hoffersons, just like Astrid, except for the short mustaches, beards, and big builds. They talk about more training and how they're going to kill dragons when they enter dragon training but of course they didn't know Hiccup, they just said they needed their axes sharpened and continued talking.
These guys are lucky, back in this time they needed to be 20 or 19 years old before entering dragon training. So after they got their axes and left, Boomer told him he could go now, as he could handle the last of the things to do because since the damage was repaired quite quickly and it was lunch anyway, plus his son, Gobber, would take the noon shift anyway.
After he dunked the hot metal into a bucket of water and lifted it up for inspection; he nodded, satisfied with his work, and put it with the rest of the finished weapons. He bid Boomer goodbye and said he was getting lunch now, and Boomer thanked him for help and got back to work to finish the last thing on list of orders.
Hiccup went to the Great Hall, got his lunch, ate silently, and he thanked the gods that he didn't have an encounter with Valka or Stoick, only Victor, Victoria and Magnus. They exchanged many more stories and other things like Hiccup suggesting to Magnus he should have put the eels on the top of the basket when they're going to store the fishes they caught.
"Why are we going to do that? I know eels are not that good, but they are good if someone knows how to cook them." Magnus asked and then took a bite of his mutton.
"Well I just saw a pack of Terror's a while ago when I was handing out someone's weapons, and when they were going to snatch a basket full of fish, they just stopped and sniffed it, the next seconds pass by with their screeching as they flew away, and they looked like they were scared of it or something." Hiccup said finishing his lunch and taking a swig from his mug. While the three adults stared at him, Magnus was deep in thoughts and so were Victoria and Victor.
"Hmm Well maybe those things did that because you spotted them? They probably didn't want you throwing an axe or something at them." Victoria explained and to Hiccup's relief, Victor and Magnus nodded agreed on it.
"Maybe, eh, I'm just suggesting that maybe the eels scared those Terror's away from the fish basket." Hiccup said. It took Victoria and Victor a second to realize what Hiccup was trying to tell and Magnus. Well he needed a few more moments until realization hit him in the head like a frying pan.
"Well are you saying that if we put some eels on the top of the basket the other dragons will leave it alone? Or perhaps find something else or just leave altogether?" Magnus asked slowly to make it sure he got it right.
"Yes! There we go, you got it! Now that's what Valka's been trying to tell you: think before doing something stupid." Hiccup said and then quickly added: "I mean before you make an action that puts you in danger, sir."
However Magnus, Victor and Victoria just laughed it off. They knew Hiccup meant no offense.
"Ah don't worry about it, Hiccup, I'm not like the other chiefs, I don't get offended easily. I know what you're saying now and it is brilliant I like it but how do we know which one is the one that scares the dragon?" Magnus said and scratch his chin and think until Hiccup suggested something again.
"How about you put every kind of fish separated baskets and test it on some Terrors or leave five bags of fishes and eel and leave it to the forest and come back for it a few hours and see what bag that doesn't touch How about that?" Hiccup asks and shrug and quickly said; "Just don't tell it to the others especially the young generation. You might not know they might use it to get themselves in danger."
"Yeah, I agree with Hiccup. Kids these days are reckless." Victor agreed and Magnus nod and agree too.
"You know Hiccup? You can be a great chief someday you know that?" Victoria said and Victor and Magnus really agree on that too.
"I'm not that good I might be the worst of it. I just want to help, you know less killing and other dangerous stuff that will lead you to death." Hiccup said and shrugs like it was nothing.
"Well, I should try that idea of yours so I can lead the tribe until I can see my grandchildren." Magnus said and stood up and turn his head on Victor and Hiccup and ask. "Would you like you two to join me to do it?" Victor stood up quite quickly and said 'I'm in!' fast too.
"I'm kinda finding a stream or a lake or river to take a bath. Because I'm smell like rotten fish with a hint of spoiled yak milk." Hiccup said while Magnus and Victor shudder at the thought of bath not Hiccup smell.
"Well there are much private streams, rivers, and lakes I know that you can take a bath on it. I can take you there." Victoria said to Hiccup and thought of something. "Or maybe you can take a bath with me and Valky in there." Making Hiccup flush a little red at the offer and try to hide it while Victoria have a sly smile on her face and the two men chuckle on at Hiccup's shyness.
"Um N-no t-thank you. I-I can find myself one I'm not comfortable with a companion when I'm bathing." Hiccup stutter and Magnus and Victor gave in the laugh and when they recover they said they need to do the experiment now. So the two men quickly marched out of the hall before Victoria reminds them to take bath after they do the experiment but unfortunately...
"You two better take a bath after you do that experiment!" Victoria called to them and the two men slumped their shoulders and go to the docks to sort the catch and try Hiccup's idea. While Hiccup excused himself to Victoria and said that he will be in the forest. He stopped only to buy Toothless a basket of fish from the market.

By noon at the forge Gobber had been hammering on a bent sword while his long-time friend, Stoick, was pacing and muttering about Hiccup became the apple of the eye of his crush, Valka. But Gobber had enough so he confronts him after dunking the sword in the barrel of water.
"Okay, what's made you so irksome this morning?" Gobber asked now fully-facing Stoick and Stoick faced him and started his rant:
"It's this guy, Hiccup, he just appears out of nowhere and boom! Valka goes head-over-heels for him! Yes, he did save her on a pack of wild Speed Stingers and 'subdues' the beasts and herds them down to the docks as if they were sheep! Can you believe it?! " He exclaimed and throws his hand in the air and Gobber tried to reply but Stoick didn't let him.
"And it's not just that, last night she was so into him she was leaning to that stranger and it was like she just wanted to kiss him to death!" Stoick exclaimed and then started pacing and muttering again. So Gobber takes this chance to voice out his thoughts:
"Come on, you're thinking this all wrong. It's not what it looks like, it's just that how she shows that she can be grateful."
Gobber tried to reason with his friend to see the other way or perhaps he wants Stoick to learn from this Hiccup person. To how he can talk or approach Valka without going into a shouting contest or a heated brawl. Thinking back to how Valka could sock the lights out of them made him shudder.
"Oh yeah how about this, this morning when after 'Hiccup' explained how he get here and how he stop or control those beast last night from tearing Valka apart which is should be me that saves her to make her like me!" Stoick exclaimed and drop down on a nearest stool and let out a long sigh and continue. "And you know what she says this morning that made me really want to strangle the guy?" Gobber just shook his head and let his friend continue his ranting.
Stoick's clears his throat and try to voice feminine, I said 'try' okay? "'You know, you can subdue me anytime you want. I won't resist if it is you' WHAT IN ODIN WAS HER MEANING BY THAT?!" Stoick bellowed the last words and Gobber trying to hold his laughter and amusement on how Stoick tried to sound like Valka and failed miserably, and he was now rolling on the floor with non-stop laughter holding his side.
While Stoick raised his face from his hands glared his friend on the floor. It felt like it took an hour for Goober to calm down. Unbeknownst to them there was another young man their age heading towards them and could hear his friends' laughter and shouts inside the forge.
He had black hair that was smoothed and tamed has brown eyes with a nice goatee, almost like Stoick's. He wore a black short-sleeved tunic and shoulder pads with a kilt of chainmail, with brown pants and boots. He entered the forge and saw Gobber was leaning on the table still holding his side. While Stoick had a big frown on his face with a glare to go with it.
"Okay. What is happening here? You guys know I don't like being the last to know what's happening here." The young man said. His name was Alvin the Trustworthy. The two turned to his direction and smile to their friend. His hunting party should've returned yesterday.
"Alvin!" Stoick and Gobber greeted him and gave him a manly hug.
"When did you and the rest of the hunting party come back?" Stoick asked his friend, and thankful to the gods that they let his friend and the others come back safe and sound.
"Well, we arrived just now. No thanks to that storm that just appeared out of nowhere; so care to tell me what's new and why are you so irksome Stoick?" Alvin said after setting down his pack on the floor and taking a seat on the stool near the counter window.
"Well let me fill you in." Gobber said.
He explained everything to Alvin: from Valka being chased by wild Speed Stingers, to Hiccup's arrival, Valka being soo clingy to the guy, how Hiccup herded the flightless dragons down to the docks as if he were herding sheep, and to the ranting Stoick and the how he try to sound like Valka and repeat the words Stoick said and the two young Hooligans started laughing their heads at the expense of a fuming heir.
"Ha-ha I can't believe it. First the most divine girl on Berk is taking an interest in a stranger, and second Stoick is jealous, and oh the way he sounds like Valka? Oh comedy gold!" Alvin exclaimed and continued laughing.
"We have no time for this, you guys! The more she spends time with that guy, the less chances I have with HER!" Stoick said exasperatedly getting more and more nervous and infuriated because his friends were just laughing in his misery while Valka might be on the hunt for Hiccup and he might lose her forever. In the hands of a stranger no less!
"Oh well yah, relax Stoick we all know Valka was smarter than all the women on the whole island, you know!" Alvin tries to calm one of his best friends while still holding back his laughter, just like Gobber.
"Alvin is right, Stoick, she can't be like the other girls that are fawning over you, and she can't just marry this Hiccup right away! And she just met him yesterday, just like you said." Gobber said and sighed exasperatedly, shaking his head amused at his friend's paranoia. Putting away the last sword he repaired and took a seat.
"Alright come on. I know something might cheer you up from all this." Alvin said and gesture everything on Stoick and Stoick just gave him an annoyed look to Alvin.
"You just gestured to all of me!" Stoick said and rolled his eyes place his chin on his palm to think of something and ask. "And what is this thing you're saying that might cheer me up?"
"Well, my friends, you know what day it is right?" Alvin asked and Stoick and Gobber nodded.
"Yes we know it's Wash Day! How can we not forget?" Gobber asked with disgust in his voice and irritated look.
"Yes! Exactly, and we know some people like to take baths on the forest." Alvin continued in a sing-song voice directly to Stoick. While Stoick slowly had realization showing on his face and looked at Alvin with a grin.
"You mean...?" Stoick asked.
"Yup." Alvin said with a grin.
"And she?" Stoick asked again having something in his mind.
"Yess! What do you want me to say?" Alvin exclaimed getting inpatient and chuckled.
Gobber however started to realize what is in his friends' minds' and became nervous.
"Ooohh no. We are not going to do that again!" Gobber yelled to his best friends nervously.
"Ooooh we are." Alvin purred in reply, and Gobber groaned, knowing that nothing can stop the two best friends of his.
"What are we waiting for? Lets go!" Stoick said leaving the forge with Alvin following behind. While Gobber watched his exited mates and shook his head and put his tools away before going after them while muttering: "This will be not end well for all of us." Gobber released a long sigh and called up to his soon-to-be-dead friends. "Hey guys, wait up!"
