One Thing I have to say, and that is read to the end first, no skipping :D


Chapter 6: An Unexpected Event

Hiccup and Astrid woke early the next morning, taking a walk to Felix's made for interesting conversation, though mostly ordinary. They started talking on Astrid, mostly on Astrid, but eventually it became a discussion on improvements they could make, how life had been before they formed up, joking around and thus until they reached the target. Hiccup knocked on the door, waiting for Felix, still in his pajamas. "Oh right, I...uh forgot about our...uh, thing, I'll...um...setup...downstairs." The doorman rambled and stuttered for embarrassing himself. Then he noted Astrid behind him. "Oh, so this gonna be a band practice then?" Hiccup looked between them and replied. "Eh, kind of, I guess." He shrugged.

Then a light in the background goes off. Hiccup quickly hears a large thunder roll by, and looks back. "What the hell...?" The entire group change their faces from curious to terrified. The mushroom of smoke and fire above the city tens of miles away explains what happened easily. "HOLY SHIT!" Felix calls loudly. He's breath quickens, causing him to hyperventilate severely. "OH GOD!" Then Hiccup quickly regains himself, figuring out the smartest thing to do. "We need to get to the school, it's an old fallout shelter, probably still effective as one"

Felix soon grabs his keys from the table inside and jumps in his car, starting it. "Thank God for this old girl." Hiccup and Astrid stuff into the car quickly and they drive off. Less than five minutes later they are sitting in front of the school in a Mustang. Felix takes the keys out of the ignition and they all run out to see if the school is still serving as a fallout shelter. "Fuck" Hiccup calls as he sees the long line of highly panicked people trying to stuff into the school. "Had to expect that this would happen honestly." Felix states, looking over the crowd before looking back at Astrid, Hiccup following suit. "Astird, you alright?" She looks back to Hiccup with a growing tears in her eyes. "My mom was in the city."

Both the boys are shocked, Hiccup's dad was probably also in the city, as reality starts to dawn. "Oh no" He looks mindlessly ahead, scared for what'll happen to his father. The line starts to move faster as people file through the doors. Hiccup then looks towards Felix. "Give me the keys." Felix looks back, sympathetic, but knowing the plan Hiccup was contemplating was purely suicide. "I can't let you do that Hiccup." Felix narrows his eyes towards his bandmate. "We have to get inside before the fallout falls, which by my suspicions means we have about an hour. And if your father and your mother..." Gesturing to Astrid. "...aren't dead, they are trying to escape. There is nothing you can do except get yourself kill." Astrid's tear grow a bit bigger as Hiccup's eyes widen. "Give me the keys Felix." Hiccup, to Felix, appears to now be on edge.

"I can't do that Hiccup, don't make me damage them." Resolute to keep his friend from getting himself killed. "Give me keys, Felix." Hiccup's edge grows, off putting Felix and Astrid, but Felix stands firm as Hiccup soon tries to wrestle the keys from his friend. "Hiccup, please, stop, we both know Felix is right." She pleads, pulling sadly on Hiccup's shoulder to stop him. "I can't let him die too." Hiccup grows upset. "Not like mom." As he drop, weeping.

After a minute, both Felix and Astrid drop to their friend, Felix crouching in front while Astrid sits aside him. "We know, but you can't do anything for him, except get yourself killed. If he doesn't return, its not your fault, and we're here for you." Astrid says, both friends sympathetic to his agony.

"Let's get inside before anything gets worse, ok." Astrid finally says, nodding to Hiccup pulling him up, rest her head on him. What a horrible day for all of them.


Guess what? April 1st, you know what that means? HAPPY LEIF ERICKSON DAY. Yeah, April fools, twice now, HAHAHAH. I guess you guys expected that second one (maybe even the first one), but come on, I had to do it.

Guess Hiccup should have payed more attention to that news bulletin a month before. :P Nah I'm kidding, it meant nothing, just a crack at news for not ever changing the subject

Anyway, it is April Fools day, and guess what? None of this is canon to the fanfic (even the references to places or events are not to be trusted, technically, everything here should be perceived as not being written down in the canon), I just wanted to mess with ya for the day (and maybe do something a bit interesting), don't worry, the real chapter will be up later, I already have it finished, in fact the first paragraph here is a spinoff of it.

Because this was a joke is why it is so short, I created it in under an hour basing on the real completed chapter that'll be up in a bit.

Anyway, I hope you liked that, I'll do the real talk in the AN in the real chapter, and I hoped you liked my joke. :P Anyway, seeya in the real chapter.
