Hey guys, another DunNo chapter, will also be part Hijack, please enjoy! Review my lovelies!

A Week Later

The sound of drums being beaten could be heard around the large room, torches lit as they cast their glow across the audience. Waitresses dressed in traditional Hawaiian attire could be seen walking through the tables as they held trays up on their hands, a smile on their faces as they greeted everyone with kindness and courtesy. Duncan stood up on a wide stage, a bunch of other dancers surrounding him as he twirled and threw his hands up into the air before clapping them together. He smiled as he looked out into the crowd, Noah sitting with Jack, Hiccup, and Valhalla as they all watched in awe. He couldn't help himself from smirking as he turned, shimming his feet across the stage as he shook his hips. The lead made bracelets and anklets ruffled with every turn, his chest covered in a fine sheen as he moved his hands outward towards the crowd of people. He continued to smile to himself as he moved his hands with fluid like precision, the banana leaf skirt around his waist moving in the gusts of wind his own body was creating. With a twirl of the legs, he moved aside as fire dancers took to the stage as a woman's voice began to sing in Hawaiian. Moving across the stage behind the dancers, he exited the stage along with others as they all entered the crowd. He cheered to himself as he moved through the tables, each of the dancers raising their hands into the air as they signaled for the crowd to join in on the beat and clap with the fire dancers. Turning his head at the sound of someone calling out his name, Duncan saw Noah waving at him as everyone else clapped to the song in the room. Chuckling to himself, Duncan waved back before returning his focused attention back to the crowd before him. He continued his routine until the music stopped, the fire dancers finally taking a bow. He waited in stunned silence, the room suddenly erupting into a deafening cacophony of applause. Taking a deep and shuddering breath, Duncan finally waved to everyone as a spotlight illuminated each of the dancers before he took a bow. As soon as the light went away, he managed his way across the crowd before taking a seat at the table as Noah leaned over and planted a kiss onto his cheek in support.

"Duncan, you were amazing!" came Hiccup's voice as both Jack and he beamed at him from across the table.

"Thanks, how do you think I keep my figure?" he said back, laughing as the other two just chuckled in response.

"Duncan, I'd like you to meet my mother, Valhalla Haddock." Hiccup said as he waved his hand over to his mother, a woman with bright green eyes and long brown hair down in a elaborate braid that ran down the length of her back.

"Nice to meet ya! I don't believe I had the pleasure to see you whenever I came to visit the day Hiccup moved in with you all, tell me a little about yourself." the woman asked, her voice thick with a Scottish accent.

"Nice to meet you as well Ms. Haddock, and let's see. You've already met Noah, so I guess you know a little bit about him already. I'm twenty-five, and I work two jobs. I work my main job at a music studio as a sound specialist, and then this is my second job. Noah and I both came from Ontario over in Canada about four years ago." Duncan replied back to the woman, her eyes beaming back as she smiled and took it all in.

"You don't have to call me Ms. Haddock son, call me Val. I can get down with that, I can be cool." the woman said as she moved her hands across the table in a goody manner, much to Hiccup's own embarrassment as he blushed.

"Mom. . .your doing it again." her son said, the woman erupting into a symphony of laughter as she grabbed at her dress.

"Oh son, if I want to be a little liberal and act crazy then that's me own business. Lighten up, if you knew how many time's I've heard these two going at it-"

"MOM! I don't think they need to know that!" Hiccup interjected now, both his and Jack's faces a deep crimson by now as both Duncan and Noah choked back a episode of their own laughter.

"Anyways, it's very nice to meet you Duncan. My son has spoken very highly of your household and how much he loves living with you all. It's. . .been very hard on me knowing that me only son has moved out and onto his own. His no good father left me whenever he was but a wee babe, so I've raised him for his whole life. It does a woman's heart well knowing that the very thing she. . .that she spent her whole life taking care of is being taking care of by his own lover and friends." Val said with a bit of sadness in her voice, her eyes cast down onto the table for a short minute before raising back up as she smiled at everyone.

"I can assure you Val, Hiccup is well taken care of in our household. We see Jack and him both as a member of the little family we've got going, we take care of them both like they were one of our own." Duncan said, the woman nodding her head in reassurance before raising her glass up into the air.

"To family, and knowing that no matter what, we've always got family by our side." the Scottish woman said, clinking her glass against everyone else before downing her drink and chuckling once more. Duncan smiled to himself, turning his gaze over to Noah who was currently scanning the crowd with his eyes.

"Who are you looking for babe?" Duncan asked, watching as a giant smile spread across Noah's face.

"It's my homies!" came a old and familiar voice as Duncan's head whipped around to see a big and strong black woman standing there with a giant smile on her face.

"LASHAWNA!?" was all Duncan could emit before the woman had swept both Noah and him into a giant hug, both of their faces buried in her cleavage.

"Mhmmmm, the one and only home skillet. Oh I've missed you two so much!" Lashawna hollered out, continuing to bury both of their faces before finally letting them both go. Duncan gasped for air as he stood up and looked the woman up and down, her voluptuous figure dressed in a blue jeans and a silk blouse.

"How did you even get out here? I thought you were managing your own fashion line in New York City?!" Duncan said with a giant smile of his own on his face as Noah stood up to join them.

"I am, and it is going fineeeeee boy! Your boo here recently got in contact with me and I decided that I just had to see my two buddies! I haven't seen you guys since the Total Drama Island reunion a few years back. Oh. . .did I interrupt something?" the loud woman asked, her head peering around Duncan's shoulder as she looked at the table full of confused people.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Everyone, this is Duncan and I's very close friend, Lashawna Marshal. She was a contestant on a show that Duncan and I met on back when we were teenagers." Noah said as he took his seat, Duncan following suit as Lashawna pulled up a seat.

"Nice to meet you all, Noah has told me such great things about y'all!" the overly excited woman said as she plopped her hands up onto the table and smiled at everyone. Everyone's head turned whenever Valhalla's phone went off, a pop song as her ring tone.

"Oh girl! Now you done got my jam going on!" Lashawna said, waving her arms into the air before Hiccup's mother began to laugh before joining in on the dance. Duncan could only giggle as he looked across the table and watched as Hiccup sank deeper into his seat before Jack threw a arm around his shoulder. Looking over at the overwhelming sense of being watched, he could see that Noah was smiling at him before he felt a hand brush across his knee under the table. Duncan could only smile back as he connected his own hand with the hand under the table, interlocking their fingers together before they turned their attention back to Lashawna as she continued to laugh with Hiccup's mother.

Later That Night

The waves could be heard crashing against the shore, their crescent forms breaking up into a choppy sea foam as they washed against the sand. Noah's bare feet trickled through the water, his toes sinking down into the sand as he looked out towards the side out into the ocean. Lights from the city shimmered off the water, the feeling of another hand locked with his as his fingers battled for space with the other. He smiled to himself before returning his gaze to Duncan who was standing beside him, both of their pants rolled up as they waded through the waves.

"You guys have got such a great life going for you out here, I'm so happy to see y'all really connecting." Lashawna said as she waltzed up to them from behind, her hair whipping in the ocean breeze as small ripples made their way across her blouse.

"How's the fashion line over in the Big Apple?" Noah asked, smirking slightly as another wave trickled on by.

"I've got several brands out there in the market, I'm about to unveil another line for big girls like me. When I first came, I woke up the City That Never Sleeps. Lashawna is in the hizz house and she ain't bout to leave because nobody wanna see a big girl in a dress." the woman said with a loud chuckle, throwing her arms around the two as she looked up at the nearby skyscrapers of Los Angeles.

"How long will you be staying?" the taller of the two men asked, brushing a hand through Noah's hair as Lashawna finally let go before walking up to his side.

"I've got a flight that leaves tomorrow night, I just had to come and see you guys. Y'all were my best buds back on that show, once a best bud, always a best bud. Now can I get a amen!" she hollered out dramatically, causing the two guys to double over in laughter as they watched their long time friend begin to hold her hands up towards the sky.

"I don't know what we are going to do with you, you are definitely something else." the smaller male said, his voice still choked with laughter as he held onto Duncan.

"There is only one me, and you ain't gonna find anybody to take my place." Lashawna said back, her heels firmly clenched in her hand as she walked through the sand with them. Noah watched as Duncan quit laughing before pulling out his phone, looking at a text as he flipped his finger across the screen.

"Looks like Ethan and Benny found someone to take the last bedroom of the apartment, they are moving in next week. Ethan said they are coming over in a few days to sign some paperwork, wonder who that could be?" Duncan said, his eyes lifting to meet Noah's as they both shrugged their shoulders before continuing their walk. Noah returned his eager fingers to Duncan's, once again interlocking them as they smiled before Lashawna fell into step with them, all of them walking down the beach towards the pier. He felt a sense of contentment in that moment, something that the very waves themselves couldn't wash away.
