How You Doing Insane Gang!

This time for sure is the race before making it into the championship. I have been prolonging this forever but it is finally here. Don't worry even after the race is over I plan on keeping Brandr involved with the group but Astrid will take her racing place back.

Disclaimer: I don't own How To Train Your Dragon.


"You seem relaxed." Toothless commented while walking back home with Hiccup.

"Yeah, I feel great no wonder the twins don't do anything."

"So what did you guys do anyway?" Toothless asked.

"Nothing really." Hiccup shrugged back.

Toothless casted him a awry glance but then let it go.

They walked into the house to see Brandr in the exact same position on the couch as before.

He turned to look at the two entering the door.

"Ah the masters of taught you well young one." Brander used an accent and mock bowed at him.

Hiccup rolled his eyes playfully. "Is this what you have been doing all day?"

"Yeah well I take it you didn't do anything either." Brandr bit back.

Hiccup stuck his tongue our childishly. Brandr did the same thing back at him.

"Oh my gods I am living with 5 year olds." Toothless muttered under his breath.

The two heard him though.

"Hey!" They shouted offended at him.

"Get him!" Brandr called to Hiccup.

Hiccup jumped on his back and wrapped his body around him.

Brand took out his legs and Toothless fell unceremoniously on the couch.

"We have exceeded on taking out the giant." Hiccup saluted to Brandr.

Brandr saluted back. "Great job, we have won!"

"Victory!" They both shouted in unison making war calls.

In that moment Stoick and Valka came back from lunch in town.

"What have we walked into?" Stoick uttered to Valka, an amused grin on his face.

"I have no idea but I am pretty sure that the boys are 5 years old."

Brandr and Hiccup abruptly stopped.

"Oh yeah well this 5 year old was staying here by myself." Brandr boasted.

Hiccup rolled his eyes and shrugged on his leather jacket.

"Oh yeah-" Hiccup started while grabbing his keys and start twirling them in his fingers. "-well this 5 year old is going to see Astrid."

"Oooh your girlfriend." Brandr oohed in his most obnoxious baby voice.

Hiccup turned back around to face him. "Yes, my girlfriend you dingus." (Guess where that came from, I just couldn't help myself. ^.^)

"Okay, okay thats enough." Stoick held his hands up.

He turned to Hiccup. "Have fun but not to much fun you hear."

Hiccup ran a hand though his hair. "I got it, can I go now?"

Stoick moved out of the way to let Hiccup through.

"Hiccup make sure you don't forget to go to that 'thing'!" Toothless called out to Hiccup once he was exiting the house.

"Me and Astrid will meet you guys there!" Hiccup called back.

"What thing?" Valka asked.

Toothless rubbed the back of his head.

"Well...uh...we are going to do stuff with the gang." Toothless stuttered out.

"Okay but when your done why don't you invite the gang over here for some pizza and soda." Valka suggested.

"Val, I don't think that teenagers will want to hang around the house." Stoick butted in.

Brandr looked at Toothless and shrugged. "Nah that would be cool Snotlout is always looking for free food."

"Okay, do you know what the gang will like?" Valka asked the two.

"So like 5 pepperoni pizzas and a sardine pizza for me." Toothless answered.

"Alright, when are you guys coming back?" Stoick asked.

The two looked at each other.

"Um probably 8 to 8:30." Brandr replied back.

Valka nodded her head.

The two parents were just glad that they were going to meet Hiccup and Toothless's friends.


Hiccup rode to Astrid house but not before stopping to get cupcakes because no one can deny that Astrid had a major sweet tooth.

He opened up the door using the spare key that Astrid had giving him a week ago and vise versa.

"Knock, knock." Hiccup called out.

He heard a faint in here coming from the Hoffersons' living room.

Hiccup placed his keys and shrugged off his jacket before entering with the cupcakes.

"Milady." He greeted and gave her a chaste kiss on the lips.

Astrid was laying down on the couch with her head propped up Stormfly was on her legs all curled up.

Hiccup gave her a good scratch behind the ears.

"I brought cupcakes." Hiccup went on handing the box to her.

"Aw sweet thanks babe."

Astrid scooted away closer to the edge of the couch so Hiccup can fit in.

Hiccup smiled gratefully and placed his arm on the pack of the arm rest.

"So I got some news." Hiccup started off uneasily.

Astrid eyed him skeptically.

"Good news or bad news." She sighed back while getting a cupcake out of the box.

"Depends on how you see it, but to me its not really good news." Hiccup continued.

"Its probably not that bad, I know you tend to worry to much."

"Okay well...when you stayed over and the gang came over for a surprised visit?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, after we came back from breakfast my parents sort of came back early and saw the house was kind of a mess."

Astrid started to glare at him.

"They sort of asked what happened and Brandr sort of mentioned that I had a girlfriend."

Astrid stopped glaring at him and raised her eyebrows.

"Thats it?"

"Yeah, and they asked what you looked like so I showed them some pictures on Instagram."

"Like our one month one?" She asked.

"Yep."

"Okay that's fine with me, that was a cute picture."

Astrid reached over to the coffee table to retrieve her phone to show Hiccup that the picture was her back ground screen.

"Wait so your not mad?" Hiccup asked dumbfounded.

"No why would I be?" Astrid asked him incredulously.

"I don't know but now they want to meet you."

"What are you embarrassed of me?" Astrid asked smirking.

Hiccup's eyes widen in alarm and started to become flustered.

"What?!" "No!" "If someone should be embarrassed it should be you because your dating me!"

Astrid just quirked an eyebrow with a smile playing on her lips.

Hiccup held his hands up.

"Wait that did not come out right, I mean is that I don't want my parents to embarrass me or make things awkward in front of us."

Astrid delivered a small punch to the arm. Hiccup being used to it didn't even faze him.

"Thats sweet of you, but I want to meet your parents you have already met mine."

"Yeah well thats because I always pick you up for dates."

"Doesn't matter." Astrid leaned her head on his broadening shoulder.

Stormfly readjusted her self she was now on both of the pairs feet.

"Where have you been all day anyways?" Astrid asked.

"Toothless and Brandr were annoyed that I kept stressing about the race tonight so they man handled me to the twins house."

"So you can learn from the masters of relaxing and doing nothing."

"Exactly."

"are you nervous about the race then?" Astrid asked.

"I still am a little bit but I know we can win."

"Good because I will be cheering from the sidelines with Fishlegs."

"I rather have you racing with us but sideline works too."

"If your going to sound like that then maybe I won't come at all." Astrid teased.

Hiccup wrapped his arms around her torso pulling her close.

"Noooo don't leave me."

"Okay then but we got to get up its time to head to the track."

The two got up and made their way on Hiccup's motorcycle to Dragon Island.

They met up with everyone 5 minutes before the race.

The Riders were the favorites to win since they came in first and second for the entire portion of the Berk races and because it had the best and well known racers on the team.

Real racing enthusiasts call the Riders the Dream Team.

"Are you ready for this Brandr?" Hiccup asked him.

"Yeah, I think so, what is the order?"

"Its Toothless then you, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut than me."

"Got it."

"There won't be any need to go full speed since Toothless will get us ahead but be wary, I know you haven't been racing competitively for awhile." Hiccup warned him.

"Don't worry Hiccup I got this."

Hiccup gave him a smile before slapping him on the shoulder."

"Good luck."

Hiccup went over to Astrid.

"Feeling nervous yet?" She asked him.

"No I got a good feeling about this."

"Oh yeah what about now?" Snotlout interrupted them while pointing in the not so far away distance.

Dagur and his team were sitting on their own plateau looking obnoxiously over to them.

Dagur caught Hiccup's gaze and gave him a sadistic smirk.

"I got a bad feeling about this." Hiccup concluded.

"What are they doing here." Ruffnut asked crossing her arms.

"I have no idea but I can't be good." Hiccup answered her back not breaking eye contact with the plateau.

"Maybe they are here just to watch because this is the final to see who they will be going up against from Berk." Fishlegs suggested trying to ease down the tension.

Hiccup finally broke contact with the plateau. "Yeah Fish is probably right, lets keep focused on winning this thing."

"Oh by the way guys after the race our parents orders pizzas for us for dinner." Toothless mentions.

Snotlout and Tuffnut fist bump. "Sweet!" "Free food."

Hiccup looked bewildered. "Wait how come I didn't know about this?"

"Mom asked us about it after to left for Astrid's house." Toothless replied.

Hiccup let out a irritated sigh. "Okay, it doesn't matter. "

The announcement speaker blared up.

"Teams head to starting lines."

"Thats our queue." Hiccup breathed out.

"Riders mount up!" Hiccup declared out.

The others did what they were told and headed for the starting line in order.

Hiccup sat atop of his motorcycle his helmet in his hands, he looked at Astrid.

She gave him a good luck kiss.

"Don't blow this trying out a reckless stunt okay?" Astrid teasingly warned him.

Hiccup chuckled. "Nah, this race this too important, but I still have time before I am even up."

"Me and Fish will be right by your starting line. "

"Okay."

Hiccup gave her one last kiss on the cheek before strapping on his helmet and heading toward his starting line with Brandr and Ruffnut.

"Welcome to the final race to see which team will represent Berk in the finals." The speaker blared.

"We have the Coyotes with Ed, Bree, Ethan, Adam, Jill, and Ryan..."

The speaker continued on until it got to the Riders.

"And last but certainly not least the fan favorites The Riders."

"Racing for the Riders are Tobias 'Toothless' Haddock, substituting for the injured Astrid 'Stormfly' Hofferson is Brandon 'Brandr' Michaelson, up next is Sean 'Snotlout' Jorgenson, also with the Terrible Twins Thomas 'Tuffnut' and Rachel 'Ruffnut' Thorston, finally we have the living legend himself with the record breaking perfect season Hiccup 'Night Fury' Haddock!

The crowd roared at the favorites. Hiccup propped up his visor and revved his engine only bringing more delighted screams.

"On your mark get set race!" The speaker than promptly shut off for the time being.

Toothless shot off but what was surprising was that somehow every ones bike was incredibly faster which caught Toothless by surprise making him lose first place.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Ruffnut exclaimed after Toothless lost first place.

"That's why Dagur is here!" Fishlegs exclaimed suddenly.

"Not following Legs." Hiccup replied to him while watch Toothless trying to regain ground.

"Thats why we haven't seen Dagur or the rest of his team because they were busy tuning up everyone else bikes." Fishlegs explained.

Hiccup grimaced. "They are here to see us lose."

"Well thats not going to happen." Brandr stated as he pushed his visor down and held out his hand for Toothless to hand him the pipe.

He was unsuccessful on regaining first place but he managed to crawl into 3 place.

Toothless took off his helmet.

"Did you see how fast they were going?"

"Yeah Dagur tuned everyones bikes." Hiccup explained to him.

"Is that why they are here?"

"Yep."

The other teams worked together on bringing the Riders down.

Brandr really had to push himself he managed to get them second place.

Snotlout raced off already pushing his speed limit.

"I don't know what they did to get the others bikes so fast!" Fishlegs exclaimed. "I have never seen anything like it."

Some of the members of the other teams couldn't really control their bikes while handling so much speed. Thats when the crashing started to happen.

Snotlout had to slow considerably to avoid getting wrecked.

Ruffnut went and they were down in 3rd place again.

She handed off to Tuffnut they regained 2nd.

"Fishlegs what are the chances of winning right now?" Hiccup asked him.

"Well not good more like 57%."

Hiccup smirked under his helmet.

"More than half so I say those are good odds."

"Fish what would you say if I might have tweaked my bike enough to have the potential to reach to the top of the Red Zone."

Fishlegs eyes widen. "You didn't!"

Hiccup shrugged. "I might have went against your advise."

The Red Zone was what racers called the danger zone for the speed limit. When your bike hits a certain speed limit which is the beginning of the Red Zone a driver loses all control of the bike and end up crashing some proving fatal.

"You have a 24% chance of making it if you go full out Red Zone."

Hiccup raised his finger.

"Ah see there you are wrong, I am only going to graze the Red Zone."

"Then you have 32% chance of not crashing."

Tuffnut came up about to hand off to Hiccup.

He pushed down his visor.

"32% I can work with it." Hiccup declared before shooting off.

Astrid came up to Fishlegs then. Fishlegs still had his eyes wide looking worrisome.

"Hey Fishlegs, why the face?"

"Hiccup tweaked his bike after I told him not too it now has the potential to go full out into the Red Zone."

Astrid's eyes widen for a second. "You can't be serious."

"He has a 24% chance of not crashing if he goes full out, he said that he is only going to graze it which increases his chance of not crash with 32%."

"And I told him not to do anything crazy, he has a death wish."

Hiccup was now just grazing the Red Zone. He had to admit it was hard steering his bike but he couldn't let up. He slowed down on turns though he knew if he tried to drift he would certainly crash. Hiccup's reckless not stupid.

He was doing it though, he was inching his way closer and closer to first place.

The final turn was upon them and Hiccup was so close to first he can taste it.

The gang was cheering for him.

"Come on Hiccup!" Snotlout yelled out encouragingly.

"You got this H!" Called Tuffnut.

Half way down the final stretch Hiccup speed up a little bit not wanting to hit maximum Red Zone.

With increase in speed Hiccup just pulled ahead of the other racer.

Hiccup crossed the finish line winning it for the Riders.

When slowing down Hiccup stuck both of his arms up.

"Yes!" "We did it!"

Hiccup took off his helmet and got up from his bike only to be tackled by the rest of the gang.

"The team who will represent Berk in the championship is The Riders!" The speaker announced coming back on.

"The first championship race will be held in 2 weeks from today." The speaker explained before shutting itself off again.

Snotlout pulled Hiccup up again.

"I can't believe it we won!" Brandr yelled out.

Hiccup took a look at the plateau that Dagur and his gang was sitting at before.

They were just about to leave having grimaces and scowls. Dagur caught Hiccup's eyes again and it was Hiccup who smirked this time.

His thoughts were interrupted by a bone crushing hug by Astrid who was very excited about winning. She always had the most competitive edge.

"I can't believe you did it Hiccup!"

Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah neither can I."

Then Astrid pulled Hiccup into a lip bruising kiss.

Hiccup came out of it dazed.

He was shook out of his reverie by Toothless shouting "Let's go celebrate!"

There was a chorus of shouts agreeing with Snotlout yelling "Free Pizza!"

They really didn't stick around for the Dragon Island celebration, instead they were driving to Hiccup and Toothless's house for pizza and soda.

Hiccup laughed at his friends antics. They all hopped on their bikes except for Astrid as she was riding with Hiccup. The gang was whooping and yelling the whole way to Hiccup and Toothless's house.

Hiccup shook his head playfully and laughed most of the way, he just couldn't get the smile off of his face.

He had one thing in mind for tonight and that was to celebrate.


See I told you I would write the race this time. This is also a record for me the most words in a chapter. I would actually call this the half way point in the story since they are going off to face Dagur and his gang now. Things are about to get interesting. Don't forget to leave a review. I would like to know what was your favorite part of the story so far. Favorite and Follow. Stay Crazy.
