How You Doing Insane Gang!

Think of this one as the Girl Talk sequel that I have out in chapter 36.


The pounding of metal is the only sound that could be heard in the quiet night of Dragon's Edge. A timid knock was heard coming from the door, only Toothless's keen hearing could pick up. Waddling his way over he bit down on the lever to open of the hatch of the door.

"Ah, thanks Toothless," Fishlegs said as he made his way inside.

Fishlegs saw Hiccup pound away on a small piece of Gronkle Iron, flattening the piece out.

"Hey, Hiccup."

Said man looked up and tilted his forge mask up. The top part of the mask he made was out of Deathsong Amber, the band of orange stretched from one eye to the other to cater for a full wide range of vision. From the nose down was made out of Gronkle Iron, it reached one or two inches down his chin to give him protection from burns and flying out specks of metal.

"How can I help you Fishlegs?"

"If you aren't too busy I need some advice..."

"Nah I'm just finishing a small knife for Astrid, she broke one of her pairs so I thought I would surprise her with a new one."

Fishlegs gestured helplessly to the almost finished product. "How do you do it?"

Hiccup raised an eyebrow. "Do what exactly?"

Fishlegs let out a frustrated sigh. "You know, exactly how to please Astrid, even after all these months since you two got together—he started to pace back and forth—you know how to surprise each other."

Putting down his tools and removing his mask completely, Hiccup still looked confused more than ever. "Oooookayyyy, what is wrong with that?"

"Nothing, its just I can't be as suave and witty as you when it comes to girls Hiccup." He threw his arms in the air.

Hiccup tried not to smile as licked his bottom lip. "Is this about trying to impress Heather?"

Fishlegs stopped pacing abruptly. "Uh...maybe...ugh I don't know..."

Enjoying this too much he leaned back on the table, crossing his arms casually. "Well, then I don't know how to help you if you aren't going, to be honest here Legs."

Grasping Hiccup's arms Fishlegs relented. "Okay, okay its true, please can you help me talk to her Hiccup?"

He chuckled and agreed with helping his friend. "It will be different for you and Heather, I mean I have known Astrid for ages, and we have years of adventures and things to fall back on."

"So you're saying I don't have a chance?"

Hiccup waved his arms from side to side. "No no no, that just means you need to create memories together, ask her to help with your gardening or take flights around the Edge."

Fishlegs kicked his foot out. "I don't know Hiccup...I just get too nervous trying to have a simple conversation let an alone trying to invite her to do something together."

He sighed and threw an arm around his bigger friend. "Tell you what, if there is one thing that got me and Astrid so attuned to each other its being partners in battle, if you want I can arrange for you and Heather to be partners in some hunter drills, and have those drills be put to the test in the real thing."

Fishlegs's eyes widened hopefully. "You would do that for me?"

Hiccup waved him off. "Yeah, of course, if Astrid has told me anything Heather feels the same way you do."

The bigger teen let out a happy squeal and crushed the lankier Viking into a hug.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" "Hiccup you are the best!"

"No problem Fishlegs." He wheezed out.

Fishlegs bounded out of his hut, feeling more elated than he did entering.

Toothless snorted giving his rider a look.

"Hey I know what you're thinking and no its not going to end terribly."

The next morning Hiccup set up a hunter drill with fake ships in the water and all.

"Alright gang, today we are just going to do a basic surround and rescue mission." "The twins and Snotlout will charge head-on, Fishlegs and Heather will flank from the left and—"Oh let me guess you and Astrid will flank from the right" Snotlout interrupted.

Hiccup raised an eyebrow. "Yes as always."

He shared a glance with Astrid.

"Is there a problem with that Snotlout?"

Snotlout held his hands on his hips. "Well duh, of course, there is, you need to shake it up a bit with these pairings."

"I did—he crossed his arms—you're with the twins instead of Fishlegs today."

He blew a raspberry, "We all know why you put Fishface and Heather together because Fishface has a huge—"Uh-duh, Snotlout how would you like it if you were paired with Astrid just for today."

Snotlout smirked and crossed his arms smugly. "That's more like it."

"Uh what was that Hiccup?"

He flinched when he heard Astrid's steely voice behind him.

"Astrid!" "Hey...Astrid..."

"What is this about partnering me up with that Muttonhead?"

Hiccup laughed uncomfortably, and lead her away from the rest of the group.

"It will only be for today, I will explain everything to you after this drill okay?"

Astrid's eyes were still narrowed, but knowing her boyfriend she went along with whatever crazily concocted plan he came up this time.

"Fine...but I want answers after."

Hiccup let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

He turned back to face the rest of the gang.

"Saddle up guys!"

The exercise, however, didn't go as smoothly as he hoped. Astrid and Snotlout looked okay out there not to normal standards but if a real attack would happen they would be fine together, Fishlegs and Heather, however...Hiccup cringed inwardly.

Instead of their dragons complimenting each other they just got into each other's way. Meatlug relies on her tail bludgeon to do damage and Windshear relies on her tail slicing. These close-range attacks get into each other's way when the riders share a lack of communication and go after the same ship to only almost kill each other.

Hiccup finally called it a day when Heather and Fishlegs took a tumble into the ocean.

"Err, okay gang we will practice more tomorrow."

Hiccup snuck a glance at the downtrodden Fishlegs who looked completely bummed that partnering up with Heather did the opposite effect then he hoped.

"You owe me an explanation, I know that you knew that the Fishlegs and Heather partnering would never work, but you did it anyway." "Care to explain why?"

Hiccup held his hands up to keep her voice down. "Alright, alright follow me to my hut, I don't want anyone listening in."

The couple made their way into his hut while the other members were in the clubhouse getting lunch. Training against dragon hunter attacks brings out a mighty hunger.

Astrid sat on his writing desk while Hiccup sat down at the chair and propped his feet up beside her.

"Spill."

Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck. "Wow, you don't waste any time do you?"

"I'm the battle strategist here and I know you are too smart to put such a bad pairing together."

"I know I know...I was going to tell you eventually but last night when I was making the new dagger for you Fishlegs came to see me looking like all of his plants were set on fire by the twins." "He wanted dating advice to get Heather to notice him."

Astrid cracked an amused smile. "Fishlegs asked you for dating advice?"

He clicked his tongue. "What?" "Is that so hard to believe?"

"I mean...alittle bit, it took you 4 years to fess up to me." She giggled.

Hiccup scoffed and brought her down sideways into his lap.

"But I got you didn't I?" "You fell for my charms anyway."

Astrid laced her hands together around his neck. "Okay, I will admit to that."

"We know each other inside and out because we are battle partners so I thought the same could work with those too." He shrugged.

"Even if they had different dragons it still wouldn't work, Heather fights in the moment while Legs tries to think 20 steps ahead." "We work well together not just because we are always battle partners but because we completely understand each other and have the same wave of chemistry together."

Hiccup stared up at her with wonder. "Astrid Hofferson, I think that is the most romantic thing you have ever said to me." He smiled.

Her cheeks flushed lightly and punched him in the shoulder to cover up her embarrassment. "Shut up."

"I know Heather likes Fishlegs, she told me she finds his smarts attractive."

The side of his move turned upwards. "What do you two have girl talks about me too?"

Astrid avoided his gaze. "Maybe."

He laughed. "Those two just need to find something in common to do."

She pecked him on the cheek. "I think instead of you meddling into it, they will just naturally get together you know, and I might be able to put in a good word with Heather while I'm at it."

Hiccup squeezed her hips lightly. "You're amazing you know that?"

"I know and aren't guy talks supposed to be just between the guys?"

"I could say the same about girl talks."

"Touche."
