There you go. Enjoy!
Kapitel 9
[Scene cuts to the Meade Hall]
GOBBER
„Alright. Where did Astrid go wrong in the ring today?"
ASTRID
„I mistimed my somersault dive. It was sloppy. It threw off my reverse tumble."
RUFFNUT (SARCASTICALLY)
„Yeah, we noticed."
SNOTLOUT
„No, no, you were great. That was so "Astrid"."
GOBBER
„She's right, you have to be tough on yourselves. Where did Hiccup go wrong?"
RUFFNUT
„Uh, he showed up?"
TUFFNUT
„He didn't get eaten."
ASTRID
„He's never where he should be."
Did they really have to pick at him like that? Seriously: How did Hiccup manage to become friends with those teens?
GOBBER
„Thank you, Astrid."
[He pushes the dishes aside and throws a book onto the table.]
This old thing still existed? This was exactly the same book that we had used for learning back then ...
GOBBER
„You need to live and breathe this stuff. The Dragon Manual. Everything we know about every dragon we know of."
[Thunder roars]
GOBBER
„No attacks tonight. Study up."
TUFFNUT
„Wait, you mean, read?"
RUFFNUT
„While we're still alive?"
SNOTLOUT
„Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about?"
FISHLEGS
„Oh! I've read it like, seven times. There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face. And-And there's this other one that buries itself for like a week—"
I like Fishlegs with his quite overwhelming dragon knowledge even in younger. Wherefrom came all this enthusiasm already back then?
TUFFNUT
„Yeah, that sounds great. See, there was a chance I was going to read that..."
RUFFNUT
„...But, now..."
SNOTLOUT
„You guys read, I'll go kill stuff."
FISHLEGS
„Oh, and there's this other one that has these spines that look like trees..."
HICCUP
„So I guess we'll share?"
ASTRID
„Read it."
[The teens leave Hiccup alone in the hall.]
So much on that …
HICCUP
„Hiccup: All mine then. Wow, okay. So, I'll see you, uh..."
[Door slams]
HICCUP
„tomorrow."
How does a Teenager get through life without any friends at all?
I actually like uploading two chapters at once... Might do it more often in the future. But I won't promise you anything.
