Just a fun little story I made after hearing about the books lol, even if the books did come first ( this was originally published on my Wattpad account. )
"Hiccup you need to loosen up dude, your giving me the creeps," said Tuffnut staring at my plans to get the Dragon Eye back which were getting more crazy by the day. I didn't mind crazy though, crazy was what defeated the Red Death after all.
"Mhm," I responded absent mindedly shrugging as he continued to sketch ideas.
Tuffnut said a few more things that I barely heard something about going to some cave.
"What do you think?" I asked showing him my newest plan as he started laughing manically.
"I WANNA DO THE FLAMING YAKS!" yelled Tuffnut excitedly, as I rolled my eyes.
"They aren't flaming yaks,"
"They Look like flying yaks," he responded, "And that looks like Gothi!"
I blinked at him for a few seconds before going back to the plans.
"Ok so see you there, H, remember you're not allowed to bring Astrid," smirked Tuffnut about to run out of the hut.
"Wait what?"
"Remember you agreed to loosen up, and the best way to do that is to have a Boys Night out,"
"Wait where were we meeting?" I said finally looking up at him as if he was insane.
"The cave, remember? The one where we held the Dragon Eye, anyways nice talking to you H," said Tuffnut probaly going to test out the "flying yaks." He swung back in a second later.
I sighed deciding he would drag me into whatever he was doing anyways even if I didn't show up. Besides Tuffnut was probably right, I needed a break.
I approached the cave where everyone was already there.
"Uh- we aren't doing anything!" said Snotlout obviously thinking he was in trouble before pointing his finger at Tuffnut and Fishlegs and they pointed their fingers back at him, "They did it!"
"Wait- calm down I invited them,"
"Tuffnut, you did what!? Now he knows where the cave is!"
"I already knew..."
"Hiccup we are playing a guessing game, answer this, what has two heads, one body-" started Tuffnut.
"Barf and Belch?"
"HE CAN READ MINDS!" screamed Tuffnut running around in circles as I sort of just stood their akwardly, maybe this wasn't the best idea to come here.
"Next question, what is the craziest most disastrous idea you guys can think of?" asked Fishlegs, "I would say mine is Meatlug turning-"
"100 flaming yaks with itty bitty dragon wings raining down from the sky while carrying missiles, and cake, Berk would feast for years!" said Tuffnut, eating some more mutton.
"What if there are other us in other universes?" I asked suddenly, "And everything was opposite!"
"Like Fishlegs being not fat?" asked Snotlout.
"Hey!" protested Fishlegs.
"Yeah like that."
"Hiccup your supposed to be on my side!"
"Or me being ugly with giant hairy pig nostrils," suggested Snotlout. Nobody decided to comment on that.
"What if dragons were already accepted in this world?" I said grabbing a few pieces of paper from my bag and started jotting down ideas and handing some to Tuffnut who wanted to draw the pictures, "And Toothless was a tiny itty bitty dragon,"
"What about if Fishlegs was a fierce fighter?" suggested Tuffnut twirling his own pen.
"Hey, im not that bad!"
"Only when your Thor Bonecrusher."
"And Stoick was an idiot!" continued Tuffnut.
"Actually-" started Snotlout before catching a glare from Hiccup.
"It doesn't have to be all opposite, it could be something completely crazy!"
"I want to speak to dragons then!" announced Hiccup
"People are already calling you the Dragon Whisperer so why not?" shrugged Snotlout, that idea wasn't really, groundbreaking.
"And can I not have my sister in this, she is getting on my nerves with her fishy hair, does she ever bathe?" scoffed Tuffnut with a loud sigh, "She's so annoying!"
"Do you?"
"No,"
"..."
"Why can't I have special powers?! Why is Hiccup always so special?" whined Snotlout, "That's it i'm being an Outcast! With tattoos! I want tattoos!"
"Ok guys, think crazy, absolutly crazy!"
"I can't think of anything dramatic enough," said Fishlegs, "Wait- Wait- I got it- its at the tip of my tounge..."
"What if I enslaved Stoick the Vast!" said Snotlout way to happily.
"Snotlout!" said Hiccup in shock.
"What! It would never happen in Real Life..."
"It better not," said Hiccup unhappily, even the thought of it made him uncomfortable.
"What is this I hear about enslaving me?!" growled the real Stoick the Vast walking into the cave with Astrid following close behind with a confused expression on her face.
"Uhhh- Hiccup say something," said Snotlout diving behind some bones as if that was going to hide him.
"Oh- hey dad..." I trailed off my brain turning to mush though my Dad's focus was no longer on me and instead on Tuffnut who was doodling a picture of other world Stoick...
"Heh heh heh, what are you talking about, we are just 4 friends having a good time," I said trying to hide the paper but too late Stoick already saw it.
"IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE ME!?" yelled Stoick outraged completely forgetting the slavery part and looked like he wanted to rip Tuffnut to shreds as Tuffnut slowly inched away.
I stepped between them, if my Dad was a dragon I was sure he would have smoke coming out of his ears. "Its not as bad as I thought, The Chief of the Hairy Hooligan Tribe, Stoick the Vast, Oh Hear His Name and Tremble, Ugh Ugh," I said reading what Tuffnut drew though it sounded a little dramatic then again it was Tuffnut.
"Hey chief look at this," said Tuffnut seeming to have forgotten he was in trouble as he pulled another drawing out of the stack.
"WAIT THATS ME!? TUFFNUT!"
I tried to keep myself from laughing as we stared at the picture. Astrid didn't even try not to and burst into a fit of laughs as Snotlout chased Tuffnut around trying to beat him up before they both ran out of breath.
Right when we had any hope of stopping laughing and giving my father a chance to speak, Tuffnut flipped open another Snotlout picture in a hilarious pose with a tattoo and we lost it even Stoick couldn't resist laughing.
"Its that a Skull Tattoo?" snorted Astrid, "Who's idea was that?"
"Mine, don't I look amazing Astrid,"
"You have a pig nose..."
"And?"
"Don't be coy Astrid, you know you love all of this," said Snotlout gesturing to himself and striking what he thought to be a heroic pose as she pretended to throw up.
As we eventually quieted down my Dad began to speak again, he akwardly gave me a Dragon Eye lens, "For uh- when you get the Dragon Eye back," he said akwardly.
"Oh sure- thanks Dad," I said just as akwardly, Dad and I had gotten better at talking to each other but the Dragon Eye was still a sore subject.
"I also wanted to check how you were doing," he said.
"I'm fine," I lied deciding not to tell him about me vigorously working and training to get the Dragon Eye back.
"What is all of this?" he asked pointing to the insulting drawings and my notes of the ideas.
"We are writing an Alternative Universe," I explained to Astrid and Stoick.
"How much did you screw me up?" asked Astrid sitting down next to me.
"Uh- we didn't add you..."
"We totally should!" said Snotlout enthusiastically blowing kisses at her as Astrid stared at him with unmasked confused disgust as he made his two hands kiss before saying, "You see everything is warped so I was thinking we could-"
"So you finally figured out that we aren't a thing?" said Astrid with a smirk and Snotlout turned red realizing he had walked himself into a trap.
"And no way," she said sternly, "I am creating a tribe filled with only Female warriors where we don't have to listen to any man!"
"How would you guys get more warriors without reproducing?"
"Well I mean I guess you could have kids, or we could travel the land recruiting,"
"Why is this reminding me of that really old book we read when we were little?" asked Fishlegs turning to Hiccup.
"The Greek Gods one?" questioned Hiccup vaguely remembering he wouldn't have if it hadn't ended in disaster, "The one we spilt yak's milk on and Snotlout threw it out the window into the mud?"
"Yeah," said Fishlegs as Snotlout looked a little guilty behind everyones backs before fading back into indifference, "With the Hunters of Artemis,"
"Well I am not calling my tribe that," said Astrid proudly.
"Then what are you naming your tribe?" questioned Snotlout, "Besides… why not just add me in your tribe, and I can be your chief and husband,"
"As if," she said gagging again, "I want to be called Camicazi,"
"That was… random…" said Fishlegs.
"If I ever have a daughter, or if I could change my name, which I can now, it would be that, well that or Zephyr," stated Astrid as she began writing down her own ideas for her tribe.
"Is your character going to be fun?" asked Tuffnut, "Because without Ruffnut I need someone to create crazy schemes!"
"Fine they can be crazy and mischievous, but she doesn't work with boys,"
Tuffnut promptly started to pout afterwards.
"Why wasn't I invited to the party!" yelled Ruffnut outraged, "Even Astrid and Stoick are here!"
"Uhh…" trailed off Tuffnut before his sister punched him and they began to fight.
"I got it!" yelled Fishlegs, "I remembered what I was going to say, I just thought of the craziest thing ever!"
"What?" I asked thinking it couldn't be That bad.
"What if Hiccup and Snotlout were cousins?" blurted out Fishlegs happily figuring out something crazy, he just didn't know how crazy it sounded as silence fell at the craziness of it, even the twins stopped fighting for a moment… a moment.
"Your joking…" I said with a laugh as the rest of the cave was still silent with shocked faces.
"You have got to be kidding!" said Stoick the Vast his mind already starting to realize he would have to be brothers with Spitelout.
"He wouldn't survive childhood!" laughed Snotlout the novelty of the idea wearing off as he and the others started to laugh and wheeze at the idea.
"Hey! I survived the Red Death and plenty of other things, I think I could withstand a murderous Snotlout,"
"Wait that actually isn't a half bad plot idea, me trying to murder Hiccup, it would go with the evil Outcast look, I guess I would have to be born on Berk and then join the Outcasts," said Snotlout snorting before demanding Hiccup to write that idea down.
"What should our book be called?" asked Astrid a few hours later as Fishlegs and me were writing the first part of the book, well more Fishlegs was. I was too busy coming up with a dragonese language.
"The amazing adventures of Snotlout!" said Snotlout automatically like he planned to say that all along.
"Aren't you the villain?" scoffed Ruffnut who was helping with the drawings, she didn't really want to add herself to the story, too much work, "Astrid, meet uhh… not Astrid,"
"Could be worse," shrugged Astrid as she continued to write about the Bog Burglars.
"
"And this is Hiccup!" announced Tuffnut showing us.
"... that's literally me when I was younger!" protested Hiccup. At least he didn't look like Snotlout, he couldent tell whether to be pleased or insulted.
"Exactly! Look how far you have come, from a very skinny- actually you are still skinny-" said Tuffnut and Ruffnut before getting cut off.
"I dont need to hear the whole speech, and surely I wasent That skinny!" he was met with silence, "Jee thanks guys…"
"What about How to Train your Dragon?" asked Astrid.
All the hands shot up except for Snotlout's who started sulking.
"How to Train your Dragon sounds like a perfect name," I said to Astrid with a smile before going back to my notes.
