Prompt: How everyone finds out about Hiccup's crush, purely based on She's in Love from The Little Mermaid (Broadway)

Reason: Just got into the song again recently and couldn't help myself

Form: Script

Time/Universe: Hiccup's about 12 I guess. You can imagine her as a Halfling with her little cloak on, or just as a human. It doesn't really matter with most of these songs


Cast:

Eerika(pronounce Erika)—Fishlegs' mom

Runa—Snotlout's mom/Valka's sister

Unn(pronounced oon)—Runa's sister in law

Sassa—Astrid and Aric's mom

Sigfrid—Ruffnut and Tuffnut's mom

Kari—Sigfrid's sister

Gobber—Hiccup's mentor and basically godfather


I suggest you read through first as there are notes in between and a lot of characters to keep track of.

EXT. TOWN - DAY

Hiccup walks by the women with a dreamy far away smile.

EERIKA:

"Did you see that?"

KARI:

"See what?"

EERIKA:

(Pointing to Hiccup who's by a

tree in the distance

staring off)

"That!"

Everyone is lost on what the Ingerman is talking about, looking to each other as they murmur confusion.

EERIKA: (CONT'D)

"I'm talking about Hiccup?"

WOMEN EXCEPT EERIKA:

"OH...!"

RUNA:

"My niece? What about her?"

EERIKA:

"She's been acting real strange

lately, don't ya think?"

SIGFRID:

"More than usual?"

SASSA:

"I'll say. Twirling in circles?

Skipping through town?"

EERIKA:

"That girl has got herself caught

up in something."

(Singing)

"She's dizzy and she's dreamy."

SASSA:

"Her head's up in the clouds."

SIGFRID:

(Contemplative)

"Her eyes have gone all gleamy...

EERIKA, SASSA, SIGFRID:

"She wastes away the days, mopin'

on the grassy hills."

RUNA:

(Talking)

"I wonder what's going on with

her?"

UNN:

"Oh, it gets weirder. You see

I heard that-

(Singing)

-if you ask her where she's going,

she giggles like a fool."

KARI:

"She barely sticks a toe in down

at the tidal pools."

RUNA:

"It's more than just a phase.

Let's face it, she's just not

herself."

SASSA:

"Is she ill?"

SIGFRID:

"Or insane?"

EERIKA:

"Is it water on the brain?"

EERIKA, SASSA, SIGFRID:

(Scratching their heads)

"What has got her bothered so?"

UNN:

"It's the bends!"

KARI:

"It's the flu!"

RUNA:

"Gosh, I wish we had a clue."

Aric walks by and Hiccup sighs leaning against the tree.

ALL:

(Eyes widen in realization)

"Oh, wait. Oh dear. Good grief!

It's clear! She's in love...

EERIKA:

"Look! I think she's even wearing

necklaced shells!"

SASSA:

"Ah!"

UNN, RUNA, KARI:

"She's in love!"

EERIKA, SASSA, SIGFRID:

"In love and it's divine."

UNN, RUNA, KARI:

"She's in love!"

EERIKA, SASSA, SIGFRID:

"That girl is on cloud nine."

UNN, RUNA, KARI:

"Glory be!"

ALL:

"God's above...!

Gobber comes by.

RUNA:

(Talking/Says knowingly

non-discreetly pointing)

"Hey, Gobber! D'ya notice anything

weird about you-know-who?"

Turns to see Hiccup, then back at the ladies.

GOBBER:

"You mean Hiccup? I'll say."

(Singing)

"She acts like she don't see me...

I've heard that late at night,

she's humming as she dreams in bed...

You walk right up and tap her—"

ALL:

"-she lays there like a lox."

GOBBER:

"As sure as dragons bite...

WOMEN:

"She has lost her head."

GOBBER:

"And she sighs and she swoons.

Thor, she's humming little tunes."

WOMEN:

(Asks knowingly)

"Even has a sorta glow?"

GOBBER:

"What on earth could it be?"

WOMEN:

"Any muttonhead can see."

KARI AND SASSA:

"That sigh."

EERIKA AND RUNA:

"That glow."

SIGFRID AND UNN:

(Unn falling back into

Sigfrid in a mock swoon)

"That swoon!"

GOBBER:

(Face palms)

"Oh, no. She's in love!"

WOMEN:

"She's flipped, it never fails."

GOBBER:

"She's in love!"

WOMEN:

"Her ship is setting sail."

They see Hiccup twirling all bubbly lost in her day dreams.

GOBBER:

"See her hips, how they swish."

WOMEN:

(Directs to Aric)

"Well, well, well, don't you

wonder who's the lassie's seafood

dish?"

GOBBER:

"She's in love!"

WOMEN EXCEPT SASSA:

"She's found your boy a hunk."

GOBBER:

"She's in love!"

WOMEN (ALL):

"And now she's as good as sunk."

GOBBER:

"See her blush."

ALL:

"See her grin...

GOBBER:

"Stoick's girl and Aric sitting by

the sea k-i-s-s-i-n-g."

WOMEN:

"Her cheeks could not flush pinker!"

GOBBER:

"It's clear as H₂O."

WOMEN:

"She's caught—hook, line, and

sinker."

UNN, RUNA, SIGFRID:

"Crushed out!"

EERIKA, SASSA, KARI:

"Switched on!"

SASSA AND UNN:

"Worked up!"

EERIKA AND RUNA:

"Far gone!"

GOBBER:

"Knocked down!"

WOMEN:

"Hard it!"

GOBBER:

"In deep!"

ALL:

"That's it...!

GOBBER:

"She's. In. Love!"

ALL:

"She's in love!" (X2)

GOBBER:

"Plain to see."

WOMEN:

"Plain to see."

GOBBER:

"No mistake!"

WOMEN:

(Shaking heads)

"No mistake."

GOBBER:

"Look at those moonbeams...

ALL:

"Obvious what they must be

symptoms of... She's in Love!"


I hope I don't get in trouble with this one. With there being so many voices and switching of characters, this was the only way I could see fit in doing this.
