A/N: Ok, I know that this one has taken me a little while to get to, but honestly that's because I really just had a general idea of what this was. I knew a little bit, but as of right now...I STILL have no idea. XD So, I guess that's really no different than my typical style, so we'll see how this turns out. o_O
On a general note, I'm going to say this is probably just as they've settled down at Dragon's being said, there will obviously be some spoilers. You've been warned. -_-'

The Quiet Twins?!

With things having finally been built at the Edge, Hiccup was starting to hope for things to settle down for at least a little while. He knew that it wouldn't last for long, what with being in such close proximity with the twins and his cousin. This was the reason that he had become more or less...paranoid. Well, that was Astrid's opinion. He called it being overly cautious, which was always a good thing around those guys. Where she saw it as a very much needed vacation, he saw it as something that was going to undoubtedly create more havoc than ever before. He didn't know what it was, but he knew it wasn't good. They were probably laughing at him.

"Pfft! This. Is. Awesome!" Ruffnut said a little too was next to her in the bushes and put his hand over her mouth as Hiccup stopped to listen. Ruffnut glared at her brother until Hiccup was out of hearing distance and tugged her brother by his hair.

"OW!" Tuffnut yelled, looking to see if Hiccup had come back.

They both nearly jumped out of their skins as Barf and Belch picked them up and flew away, going towards their hut. They had more or less stayed there or in their soggy place, acting quiet and a lot more calm than usual. Snotlout had accidentally suggested it, by telling them they couldn't be quiet because it would freak Hiccup out too much.
After the first day, no one really noticed much, probably assuming they were having some weird off day or something. After two or three days, Hiccup started giving them glances every now and then, obviously trying to figure it out without getting too involved. He probably wouldn't get involved unless things got violent or got to the point where dragons were somehow affected. As it had now been a little over a week, they could tell how much their poor leader was trying to just figure it out.

As they relaxed at their table, the twins were thinking about who would break first. Granted, this was very fun, watching everyone's reactions to their sudden behavior. Astrid seemed to be almost more relaxed, were it not for the fact that she was almost consistently trying to get Hiccup to relax with her. On more than one occasion, they noticed either her or Toothless dragging him back towards his hut or to the clubhouse. Fishlegs seemed to just take this as an opportunity to dive into his research with no interruptions, other than Hiccup on occasion. Snotlout was a different story altogether, really. Once he had actually caught on to what they were doing, he appeared to have two reactions. When it came to his cousin and watching his reaction as a whole, he was all for it, but he didn't have the patience for it; which brought up his second reaction. After Snotlout found out how long it might take, he more or less just dismissed the idea altogether. He was a guy of action, after all.

The problem was they just didn't know how long this could last. Where were the explosions in all of this? They LIVED for the explosions. Loki needed more of them than making their friends somewhat paranoid.

"I've got it!" Tuffnut said suddenly, scaring Ruffnut enough to almost fall off of her chair.

"What do you got?" she said half-heartedly. "Eel pox?"

"No...probably." he told her, confused. "Stop making things so confusing!"

"Bro?"

"Oh. I was going to tell you that I found some way to make things more appealing to Loki."

"Why didn't you say so?!" she yelled, standing up and slamming her hands on the table.

"You were being confusing, so now I forgot!" he yelled back, getting in her face.

"You idiot! That kind of thing is important!" she yelled, pushing back. "We can't just make explosions like we usually do!"

"Well, this is boring! It's been almost two weeks! How long are we going to do this?!" he went on, before sitting back down. "When is this going to end?"

He had a point and she knew it, but they had been doing this for days and it was just starting to show results. They couldn't just wait forever, but it was kind of fun watching.

"Ugh, fine! He'll try and kill us, you know." Ruffnut muttered, dreading the amount of night shifts that were bound to be handed to them as a result of this.

"He's enjoyed the quiet for too long, aside from the extreme paranoia. I'm surprised that Astrid hasn't hit him upside the head or something yet."

"True that." Ruffnut said as she yet again pulled her brother behind her. As they headed to their next destination, they heard a phrase that was all too familiar.

"Astrid! Why would you do that?!" Hiccup yelled as they saw him backing up from her.

"Uh oh. I guess we were wrong. As much as I love watching violence, we have work to do." Ruffnut said, running towards Snotlout's place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Several trouble filled hours later~~~~~~~~~

"Astrid!" Hiccup yelled, walking from his place to the clubhouse. He had been looking everywhere for some of his journals he had been reading, only to find them missing this morning. Astrid looked up from where she was, obviously more than a little agitated. That alone wouldn't have necessarily put him on his guard, but seeing Fishlegs searching for something had him suddenly on edge. There was obviously something up and iit reeked of the twins. Hiccup sighed and almost headed towards Astrid, until he saw Snotlout. If there was one thing he knew, it was that Snotlout was obviously involved.

"Snotlout, you wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you?" Hiccup asked, trying to sound casual and not accusing. He was pretty sure, but he wouldn't find anything out if he just accused him in front of everyone. Probably.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Hiccup." Snotlout said, a little too loudly. He wasa horrible liar.

'Yeah, I'm sure that you don't.' Hiccup thought.

Well, his cousin wasn't that hard to out maneuver; all he had to do was get him talking.

"So, what are you missing? I'm going to write everyone's down so we can look for them all."

"It wasn't anything too important, really. Just... I uh, found iit a while ago."

"What about the twins? I should write whatever they lost, right?" Hiccup asked, giving Astrid a 'you-can-start-helping-me-anytime-now' sort of look. Taking her cue as casual as she could, Astrid pretended that she had just started listening to the conversation.

"It's only fair, Hiccup. What if they lost something important?" she asked. Snotlout stared at the floor at the mention of the twins, which only made Hiccup more certain that they were involved. He knew that if he didn't get answers soon, Astrid would more than likely get violent.

"Snotlout, what's going on here?" Hiccup asked cautiously. He wasn't sure he wanted to know, but he knew he'd find out one way or another. Snotlout threw his hands up in defeat and yelled in frustration.

"Okay, okay! It was them! The twins were bored of just sitting around and took your stuff."

Fishlegs looked over at everyone else for a moment and frowned. It didn't make sense at all.

"Hiccup, this isn't something the twins would do. They have never taken our stuff before from what I can remember."

"No, it was them; I think they had help, but I think this is just the beginning." Hiccup said, thinking outloud. "There's something more to it, and I'm pretty sure it involves what they took."

Astrid and Fishlegs looked at Snotlout in suspicion before looking back at Hiccup, who looked a shade or two paler.

"Please tell me you didn't give them-" Hiccup started, before hearing a big resounding boom in the distance. They all watched as a few Night Terrors fled for safety. Hiccup facepalmed, eventually looking at Snotlout with a flat look. "You gave them gel."

"I didn't know!" Snotlout yelled, trying to defend himself.

"You didn't...? Snotlout, this is the twins we're talking about! I just KNEW something was coming, but giving them Monstrous Nightmare gel?" Hiccup asked, sighing in frustration. Everyone watched as he paced back and forth, trying to connect the problems together.

'I have the twins, an unknown amount of Monstrous Nightmare gel, and some missing items. They connect somehow. This is bound to be worse than when they tried to block my door.'

"They want us to go find those things, but they're nowhere near here. They lured us out here, and now that we've all heard that nonsense? There's bound to be several more, due to the extra ammunition they have."

Fishlegs gaped and looked out towards the woods, while Astrid looked in the direction of the sea.

"I suggest that we-" Hiccup started, just to be interrupted by another blast. "We split up. Choose a direction and find the twins before they destroy the island or us. If we're lucky, maybe they'll run out of gel." he said, glaring at his cousin.

"What? I didn't give them the idea!"

"No, but you gave them the gel; take Hookfang and go look for the twins. DON'T help them blow things up." Hiccup warned, before the idea could even enter his head.

With that, everyone and their respective dragons took off to find the twins in the hopes of saving the island from being blown apart via explosion.

TBC...

A/N: It seems I have yet another that I am making into two parts. The second one will probably be considerably short, just being the ending. Any suggestions on the one shots are welcome as usual.
