Room lights up to reveal Link, Lexi, Toothless, Hiccup, Astrid, Danny Phantom, Box Ghost, and the random terrible terror in the corner all huddled together in the corner shivering.
Link: t-t-thank God f-f-finally.
Toothless: I c-c-can't feel my wings!
Lexi: N-neither can I, AND THEY HAVE FEATHERS!
Link: ...what? i'm so lost right now...oh...SINCE WHEN HAVE U HAD WINGS?!
Lexi: You never noticed the wings. We have known each other for how long and you didn't know that I had FREAKING WINGS?
Link:ummm no?
Hiccup: i think my flight suit joints are frozen shut.
Link: i think the heat is finally kicking in so while we warm up y'all get into the story
Lexi: Wait, why didn't Toothless just light a fire?
Hiccup:...fire…. dragon...RIGHT
Everyone: WHAT
Link:*looks at Lexi before handing her a paintball gun* so that's the end of the intro I don't own anything.
Chapter 12 the start of something great
Hiccups pov
As I slowly came to I saw an unknown ceiling above me, it was then I remembered the events of yesterday, the disowning, Astrid offering us a place to stay, my idea to enter the big race coming up , all of it. It was then I realized that I never went back upstairs after Astrid and I talked, I looked down to see a large collection of blond hair on my chest all connected to the cutest sight i have ever seen. Astrid in her sleep had started chewing on her hair and had buried her head into my neck and was essentially trapping me on the couch. I stayed still as to not wake her. twenty minutes later she started to stir.
"Wha…" she mumbled
"Morning sleepy head, comfortable? " I jested.
"Very"
"Can I get up"
"No"
"Why not?"
"You're warm."
"Then can you at least remove your elbow from my ribs please?" She adjusted her arm to a more comfortable, but all together more awkward position.
"Astrid?"
"Hmm?"
"Why is your hand in my shirt?"
"Because I want it there."She said, sliding herself up so we were facing each other.
A/N: the following scene was written by Lexi because I'm no good at sappy romance.
"Hmm, is that right?" I smirk and put my hand above where hers is.
"Yeah, got a problem with it?"
"Nope, it's fine by me" She comes closer and our breath mingles. I lean in to meet her while closing my eyes. Our lips meet and my hands automatically slide to her hips while hers move more up my shirt. She bites my bottom lip and the kiss deepens. After a few minutes we break apart and rest our foreheads on each others.
"Okay I think that should be sufficient blackmail. What about you?" I jerk up to see Toothless grinning with a video camera. The red light is still blinking when I vault over the back of the couch and run after him.
"GET BACK HERE U MOTHER" Link: CENSORED!
A/N: and back to our regularly scheduled programing
Hiccups pov
After that whole fiasco we all settled down for breakfast and it was then I decided to unveil the idea I had had last night.
"So I think I may have found a solution to our financial problems. I casually said.
"You did, already, then what is it my boy!?" Astrid's father questioned.
"I remembered an event I saw on the BURL (Berk Underground Racing League) website a while back called the Race to the Dragons Den." I watched both of Astrid's parents eyes grew wide and they looked at each other with concerned looks.
"Hiccup, that's the most dangerous race in the world." Mr Hofferson said slowly. "Last time they ran it was 5 years ago, back when I was racing and I entered… by the end out of the 50 racers that entered only 7 were left. I was out on the 20th leg and my car was so badly damaged it was undrivable. I looked down at my plate.
"I know, but we can't live with you forever and I'm sure Gobber and Fishlegs would help us. Besides whats life without a few risks." I said looking up and glancing over at Toothless who noded. I then saw Mr and Mrs Hofferson look at each other
"What do you say, one last race?" Mrs. Hofferson asked. Mr. Hofferson grinned.
"Oh why not," looking at me "after all, what's life without a few risks".
"Well if we are going to do this we need a plan. And if we are making a plan Toothless, call Fish and Gobber tell them to meet us at the cove. Dad mom we need to show you something." Astrid said with a determined look.
45 minutes later
"Dad you there? DAD" Astrid stood snapping her fingers in her father's face while Toothless was trying to awaken Astrid's mother while Fish and Gobber stood laughing with me
Flash back Astrid's pov:
We had arrived in the cove and my parents were amased at what hiccup and toothless had done.
"So is this where you were that night, is quite impressive" my mother stated
"You think that's impressive prepare to be amased. HICCUP, TOOTHLESS, COME ON OUT" I shouted. It was then we heard the wing beats and two black shadows flew over head.
"What the.." My father gasped.
"What OHMYGOD!" My mother exclaimed.
Then Onyx and Nightshade landed and my mother fainted after seeing the boys on the dragons.
End flashback hiccup's pov
After we moved everyone into the Great hall and explained everything we started making our plan and by the time we finished it was midnight and we had one hell of a plan which was that in the months building up to the race we would get the money we needed for the entrance fee and upgrade my car to the max courtesy of Gobber who said that he will help me for free because "I see you as the son I never had and also if you let me put me logo on your car for advertising". I, of course, said yes after hugging Gobber (who from what I understand was basicly shuning my father because of what he did). Then two weeks from the starting date Astrid, Mr. hofferson, Onyx, Shade, and I will head for San Francisco and spend a few days getting ready and being tourists. Then the day before the race Mr. Hofferson and Gobber will head for the end of the first leg of the race with the truck which will be an older unused large U-haul truck Fish gets us (also free thanks to the new AD sticker on my trunk) that we will modify to work as a mobile repair station and the old school bus that is in behind Gobbers that we can get running that we will outfit with beds and other things that we need. On the day of the race as I drive Toothless and Astrid will be flying the dragons above letting me know of wrecks and other info about what's ahead.
I looked around the table
"So who ready to race the night away?"
Link: and that's yet another chapter of Race the night away. So lexi you have fun this chapter with the hiccstrid piece?
Lexi: Yeah, this is only my, what is this, I think third time writing like this so I have no idea how I did. Honestly, I think I probably need more practice.

Lexi: YAY! This is going to be fun.
Link: in other news the absolutely amazing FireWolf 2012 has taken it upon himself to create a fan art cover for this story and I'm losing my mind over it. There is no set date of when it will be done but I'll post it as soon as I get it. Yall should of seen Lexi when I told her, I couldn't hear out of my right ear for the rest of the day!
Lexi: I wasn't that loud… Was I?
Toothless: I was outside and I heard you.
