With 1 swift movements Heather grabbed Snotlout and threw him to the ground.
"Hey no fair! I gave you a dare and you didn't do it" Complained Snotlout
"Come on Snotlout that's a bit of a harsh dare to do, but you do have a point. What if we had to do a punishment if we don't wanna do a dare? Like you have to finish your drink or something?" Interjected Hiccup.
Everyone agreed with Hiccup's point so Heather grabbed her nearly full cup of ale and finished it on the spot, then she made her way over to the drum to refill her cup, stumbling a bit on the way.
"Astrid, Truth or Dare?" Asked Heather
"Well, we haven't had a truth yet, so I'll go with that" Replied Astrid
Heather took a bit longer to think of a truth, she knew a lot about Astrid already and didn't want to annoy her by asking something personal or that would make her uncomfortable, after all, she was her best friend. So she decided to be the first to draw from the pile of pre made truth's. It read: 'who of your friends do you find the most attractive?' Astrid blushed as she realised who she would have to say.
'I uhhh, ummm' Astrid was stuttering as she didn't particularly want to announce it, even though everyone already knew the answer. So instead, she drank all of her drink. She quickly got up to go refill, hoping that she didn't make things weird.
"Well that was a let down" said Tuff
"Its clearly obvious that she would of said me" Announced Snotlout as he began kissing his muscles and whispering his usual catchphrase.
"Hey Tuff, whats wrong with Ruffnut?" Asked Fishlegs.
"Oh, she just busy being unable to hold he ale. Bringing shame upon the Thorston name" He replied
Astrid returned to the circle which was getting rather small with Ruffnut now passed out, Snotlout on the verge of passing out along with Heather as by this point they had both drunken double what everyone else had.
"Alright fearless leader it's your turn, truth or dare" Said Astrid in a quirky way
"Dare!" Replied Hiccup with confidence as he took another big sip of his drink.
Astrid took a few extra seconds to think of a good dare... "I dare you to eat an entire chilli"
Hiccup wasn't the biggest of Chilli but, a dare was a dare and on top of that, he was getting to his alcoholic limit. Hiccup hopped on toothless and took off quickly to the club-house which is where all the food was left. He grabbed a chilli and flew back, making a crash landing.
"Having a bit of trouble flying there H? Maybe there should be a rule against flying after drinking! Think of the benefits of that" Said Tuffnut
Hiccup began biting away at the chilli and swallowing it until it was all gone. Within a few seconds his mouth was burning and he was huffing and puffing in pain. He got his cup of Ale and began sculling it. Although this would likely lead to him passing out, he had to do it because of the pain. Once he finished his cup he quickly ran over to the drum and refilled it drinking another 2 full cups after which, the spiciness had died down. Hiccup walked back over to the circle to find that Snotlout and Fishlegs had now joined Ruffnut in passing out so he sat down with Heather, Astrid, Tuffnut and Chicken.
"So shall we continue playing?" Asked Heather
"How are you even still awake, haven't you had like 12 drinks at this point" Asked Astrid with a surprised face
"Well I guess I have just have a high tolerance for this stuff" Said Heather as if she was bragging.
Hiccup quickly felt all the alcohol he had just drunk begin to hit him, but he was determined to prove he could drink and not pass out.
"Alright Tuff I guess it's your turn. Truth or Dare?"
"oooooh, definitely dare" Replied Tuff
Hiccup didn't have any negative feelings toward Tuffnut so he didn't want to give him a mean dare like he probably would Snotlout, so he picked from the pile.
*get a wet willy in both ears*
"What in Thor's name is a wet willy? I bet its awesome!" Said Tuffnut.
Neither Hiccup nor Astrid knew what a wet willy was, but Heather did. So she went straight in for it, shoving a wet finger in both of Tuff's ears causing all 3 of them to say "ewwww" at the same time.
Hiccup finished another cup and got up to refill. However as he got up all of the alcohol suddenly hit him and next thing he knew, he was face down on the ground. Astrid noticed that Hiccup had finally hit his limited so she went over too him and dragged him to Toothless who was sleeping a few feet away and rested them together then she refilled her cup and made her way back over to what was now a triangle.
"well, should we continue player?" Asked Heather,
"I've got to put chicken to bed, it'll be sunrise in a few hours" Tuffnut said looking at the positioning of the moon.
"Umm, how does he know what time it is?" whispered Heather to Astrid
"Don't ask. The twins just know these weird things. Replied Astrid
As Tuffnut walked off with chicken, it was now just a moderately drunk Astrid and a fully drunk Heather left in what was once their circle. The two of them continued to slowly drink what they decided would be their last cups each and continued chatting about what had been going on with Berk and the hunters.
"Enough chat about hunters, I wanna know what's going on with you and Hiccup" Said Heather with a scandalous look.
"Wha- what do you mean 'going on?'" Questioned Astrid whilst heavily blushing and looking flustered.
"Astrid, I'm not oblivious, the way you two talk and act with eachother, they way you look at eachother. I mean look at Snotlout and Fishlegs. They are literally exactly where they were when they passed out... Snotlout is even laying on a boulder"
"So what do they have to do with anything?" Asked Astrid
"Well, you could of left Hiccup where he was, but instead you gently placed him lying with Toothless in a comfortable position. How oblivious do you think I am?"
Astrid realised Heather did have a point. It was true, she cared for Hiccup more than anyone else she knew, even more than herself.
"Look, Hiccup is the best person I know, but after all we've been through, I just don't think he likes me that way. Anyway it's late, I should probably get some rest" Said Astrid Looking a bit saddened as she began walking off to her hut.
Astrid had taken a few steps before Heather asked her another question, "so I take it as Hiccup would have been your answer for the truth you were asked?" said Heather.
Astrid didn't say anything but she did turn around and look at Heather letting out a small grin as she continued to her hut.
