How You Doing Insane Gang!
Tell me what do you guys think of the name change. Really you guys are my readers and fellow writers not my fans. Also insane and gang kind of rhyme so why the hell not. Anyways a bit of a short notice but I am going on vacation Friday with my family and won't be returning until Wednesday so expect a late chapter later in the week.
Disclaimer: I don't own the HTTYD Franchise.
Hiccup and Toothless were called down from their room from their mother Val.
"Yeah mom what is it, I have to meet Astrid in 5 minutes for a movie date." Hiccup whined.
"Hush now we have guests." Val scolded.
Hiccup raised an eyebrow at Toothless who just shrugged in response.
In the living room was the Michaelsons. They are close friends of the Haddocks for many years until they moved out of town. The two brothers were best friends with 18 year old Brandon Michaelson also known as Brandr. (Full description of modern Brandr and pictures are in my profile, also didn't think I would be using him again huh :3)
He is an only child living with his dad Scott and mother Elizabeth or Liz for short. Brandr has dark brown hair with an undercut and wind swept effect. He has a partial goatee, his usual outfit consists of a grey t-shirt with a pocket and white sleeves with white cargo shorts and white bluish high vans.
Brandr too is also a racer with his matte grey Indian Scout motorcycle and matte grey full-face Shoei Qwest helmet.
"Dude!" "No way what are you doing here?" Hiccup asked surprised.
"Hiccup, Toothless how are you guys?" Brandr replied back giving each of the brothers a bro hug, (Cause he is that cool.)
"We are good man, what are you doing here." Toothless asked again.
"I just finished schooling so one day I was like I wonder what my best pals are doing right now and now here I am." Brandr explained while throwing his arms up.
"Hiccup, why don't you and Toothless take Brandr to see your friends since you were going to visit Astrid anyways." Stoick suggested.
Hiccup's eyes widened. "Oh my gods I almost forgot, she is going to kill me!" Hiccup exclaimed while rushing to grab his leather jacket and put on his black high tops.
"Ooh Hic is that your girlfriend?" Brandr teased.
"I really don't want to hear it now Bran, and I hope you brought your bike because you are not riding with me." Hiccup scolded.
The boys rushed out the door to mount their bikes before tearing down the streets.
The boys arrived to Astrid's house to see the rest of the gang's bikes already there. Because Astrid injured herself the team decided to hold meetings at her house so she doesn't have to travel a lot so it doesn't disturb her ankle.
The boys parked next to everyone else's bikes. Hiccup knocked on the door with helmet in hand.
Snotlout came to open the door.
"About time you asses showed up." Snotlout commented.
"Yeah, yeah we know." Hiccup droned.
Snotlout squinted. "Brandr?"
Brandr raised his hand in greeting. "Snotlout, never thought I would see you here."
"Yeah same here but uh its good to see you after all this time."
"Yeah you too bud."
Snotlout and Brandr shook hands.
"Is that them?" A voice coming from the living room shouted.
"Yeah its them." Snotlout called back.
The boys put their helmets on the pegs before entering the house.
The gang was in the living room with Astrid sprawled across one of the couches, Tuffnut was in a comfortable lounge chair and Ruffnut was upside down on a the second couch.
"Finally what took you guys so long?" "We have to discuss the race." Astrid chastised them.
"Sorry my bad we lost track of time and we had a catch up with an old friend." "Guys this is Brandon Michaelson or Brandr for short."
Hiccup gestured to each of them. "This is Astrid my girlfriend so back off, Snotlout as you know and the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut."
A chorus of "heys" and "sups" echoed around the room.
Hiccup took a seat next to Astrid who laid her feet across Hiccup's lap, Hiccup not minding puts his feet on the table.
Brandr and Snotlout take a seat on the couch next to Ruffnut the latter sitting next to her. Toothless sits on the floor with his back pressed against the couch Astrid and Hiccup are occupying almost leaning against her side.
"So I take it he knows about racing?" Astrid asked.
"Oh yeah before Brandr moved away he won more races then anyone until me and Toothless beat him that is." Hiccup explained.
"I admit I am a little rusty since the racing up north is shit compared to down here." Brandr continued.
"How long are you planning on staying here anyways Brandr?" Toothless questioned.
"Oh well we were thinking a week or two before heading back up." Brandr answered thoughtfully.
"Dude that's perfect!" Hiccup exclaimed.
"Why?" Tuffnut asked while playing on his phone.
Hiccup sat up straighter on the couch. "Don't you guys see?" "Brandr can be Astrid's replacement!"
Brandr put his hands up. "Whoa wait there a second Hiccup, I haven't raced since last year."
"The finals aren't until next week so that can give us plenty of time to train you back in to shape." Toothless agreed.
"Okay but why do you need a replacement anyway?" Brandr asked confused finding nothing wrong with Astrid.
"Last race some douchbags purposefully wrecked into Astrid causing her to fly into a barrier, she has a bruised rib and broken ankle." Hiccup growled.
Astrid laced her fingers with Hiccup's under her legs. Hiccup glanced at her and smiled.
Brandr cringed. "Damn sorry to hear about that, but since the finals aren't until next week, I'm in." Brandr declared.
Excitement and hope filled the air. Now the Riders were back in the game with a new member but they will need some work done if they were ever going to get Brandr back into it.
Yay they found a replacement for Astrid. You guys didn't think I would have used Brandr again did yeah. Everything about him is in my profile so please check that out. Thank you guys once again so click that Favorites button and Follow. I will see all of you later next week. Stay Crazy.
