How to train your Vacation.
The gang have arrived to Disney World!
Let the vacation commence!
Rest and Relaxation...sort of.
It was seven in the evening as the Berk gang drove through Disney property as everyone was looking at all the opportunities that awaited them.
"Hey look its a giant ball!" Tuffnut pointed.
"Actually Tuffnut that's Spaceship Earth." corrected Fishlegs.
"Well it doesn't look like a spaceship." Tuffnut said.
"Yeah so why is it called that?" asked Ruffnut.
"Oh look Tower of Terror." Astrid said hoping to change the subject.
"Oh I am so going on that ride multiple times!" Cheered Snotlout.
"I can't wait for the new Star Wars expansion to come out." said Hiccup.
"Hiccup you're probably the biggest Star Wars nerd I know." laughed Astrid.
"I'm not that bad." Hiccup defended
"Hiccup half your wardrobe is Star Wars shirts, you took me to the midnight premiere of every single Star Wars movie that's come in the past few years... in a jedi robes and you have a Darth Vader toaster." Astrid told her boyfriend.
"Thanks again for that Fishlegs." Hiccup told him.
"No problem I knew you'd like it." Fishlegs replied.
Astrid groaned.
"Oh come on Astrid being a geek is very common now, you can be a geek sometimes too." Fishlegs continued.
"But not to your guys level, do you guys realize that Hiccup spent an entire day talking like Yoda." Astrid told everyone.
"Hey you found it charming." Hiccup said.
"No I found it annoying." Astrid frowned.
Hiccup leaned over to Fishleg's side.
"She totally found it charming, she's just too proud to admit it." Hiccup whisperer to his friend as he felt a punch to left arm.
"Saw that that coming, I did." groaned Hiccup.
The van kept driving until they saw their destination.
Disney's Art of Animation Resort.
"We made it guys!" cheered Hiccup.
"Thank god, I don't think I can sit down for a week." said Snotlout.
The van pulled into the parking lot and everyone practically bolted out of the van.
"Oh ground, sweet sweet Disney ground!" Tuffnut said kissing the pavement before he started choking and hacking. Hiccup and Astrid were looking around to see if anyone was staring at them.
"I think I swallowed a pebble!" he gagged but he paused to examine his mouth.
"Nope, just dried up gum...mmmmmmm peppermint." he said with a savory touch.
The rest of Tuffnut's friends just stared at him in utter shock.
Snotlout leaned over to Hiccup.
"If he gets us banned from the parks, I will not hesitate to leave him on the side of the road, just giving you a heads up." he threatened.
"Trust me I've thought about it too, but apparently that's illegal to do." Hiccup said with sympathy.
"Stupid legal system for always ruining my fantasies." Snotlout pouted whole Hiccup patter him on the shoulder.
"I know buddy, I know." he told his now pouting cousin.
The six entered the Art of Animation Resort and were automatically blown away by the resort.
It was mainly white but the walls had a bunch of sketches from Disney Characters and the check in booths had long tall lights to really bright up the room. The best part about Art of Animation was the fact that the Resort had four different sections based on a Disney movie: The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Finding Nemo and Cars and Hiccup knew exactly which section he wanted to be in.
"This is incredible." Astrid told Hiccup.
"Think of all the rich history of animation dating all the way back to steamboat willie." Fishlegs said excitedly.
Soon Hiccup had an idea. So he started whistling the tune Mickey sings in the cartoon. Fishlegs squealed and joined in, The Twins followed suit as well as Snotlout who was really getting into it.
Astrid just stood there in defeat. It was a well known fact that she wasn't able to whistle no matter how hard she tried. And everyone knew this and took full advantage of it.
"I hate you guys." She threatened them while going to the check in line.
"Sorry Milady, forgot you couldn't whistle." Hiccup offered an apology.
Astrid ignored this and spoke to the check in cast member in a tone completely opposite from the one a few seconds ago.
"Yes we have a suite under the name of Haddock." She continued.
The Disney cast member who was a women in her fifties smiled and started to type their research after Hiccup arrived to give her the right information.
"Where are you guys from?" the cast member asked.
"Berk, Minnesota." Hiccup said with pride.
The cast members eyes lit up.
"Berk, I know that place. I went to school there a while back." She continued.
"You went to Berk High?" Astrid said with excitement.
"Graduating Class of 1980." The cast member told them.
"Hey my Uncle Gobber graduated that year." Hiccup told the cast member who was thinking hard now.
"I remember him, we had a couple of classes together, real mechanical genius. How's he doing?" The Cast Member asked.
"Pretty good, I work at his auto shop. He taught me everything I know" Hiccup responded.
"Great, keep up the good work. You guys are staying at The Lion King section, here's your guys magic bands and you're room should be ready in a few minutes." The cast member told them with a smile.
"Thank you." Hiccup and Astrid said in unison and proceeded to walk to the main lobby.
"Small world huh?" Hiccup asked Astrid as they waited in the lobby for their room to get finished.
"Yeah it's not like Berk's a well known town or anything." Astrid responded.
"But it is an old town, probably as old as the Vikings." Hiccup smirked.
"What's with you and your obsession with the Vikings?" Astrid playfully asked.
Hiccup laughed as she obviously knew why he loved the Vikings.
"It's not like we first met at a Norse Mythology class in high school no, not at all." he replied in his trademark sarcastic tone.
"Still one of the best classes we've ever taken." Astrid smiled.
"Yo lovebirds, we took that class too!" Snotlout cut in.
"How could we forget Snotlout, you were always trying to copy my homework." Fishlegs said trying to forget the memories of Snotlout's laziness.
"Hey it's not my fault we were given lots of homework in that class." Snotlout said in a defensive tone.
"Hey remember the assignment where we each had a role within a tribe and had to explain how our roles impacted the tribe?" Hiccup asked.
"Don't remind me." Grumbled Snotlout.
Ruffnut and Tuffnut snickered at the memory.
"Yeah, official Weapons Tester." Ruffnut said using air quotes.
"I'll never forget what your dad said after you gave your conclusion." Tuffnut continued.
The twins cleared their throats, and in an extremely god awful Scottish accent.
"Boy-o if you were an weapons tester in the Viking age, you would've been dead within the first day." the twins said in unison before breaking into a fit of laughter.
Snotlout aggressively folded his arms
"It's not like he was the teacher or anything." he mumbled.
"It's funny because he WAS our teacher, and he STILL failed you." Tuffnut roared with laughter.
"You wanna go, Thorston?!" Snotlout threatened.
Hiccup facepalmed at this, yep six aggressive young twentysomethings in the middle of a Disney Resort, this isn't gonna backfire no.
"No I don't wanna go, because we just got here." Tuffnut defended.
Snotlout looked like he was about to cause a scene and Hiccup was ready to jump in to avoid anymore conflict when Astrid came in.
"Our rooms ready." she said quickly knowing full well what was about to happen.
"Thank god for that too." Hiccup sighed in relief as Astrid winked at him.
The six friends walked to their room as they wondered over the unique design of the resort.
"Oh boy this is so exciting, we're staying at The Lion King Suite!" Fishlegs said in excitement.
"And for a suite it wasn't really that expensive." Astrid agreed while eying Hiccup
"Though one tends to wonder why my boyfriend chose The Lion King as our section." she continued still looking at Hiccup who was getting nervous.
"Well...I...uh...well, you know...I like the movie and..." Hiccup started stammering before Astrid pecked his lips which caused him to go silent and blush madly.
Fishlegs leaned over to a smiling Astrid.
"You did the prank didn't you?" Fishlegs asked.
"Totally did the prank Fishlegs." Astrid proudly replied as the two high fived each other.
Yeah so great for all of us." Hiccup sarcastically agreed remembering how he almost died in the shower.
Astrid stuck her tongue out as they arrived to their room.
Opening the door, they were all relieved when they saw what would be their home for the next few days.
It was mostly green and had a jungle gel to it. The carpet looked like grass and had pictures of assorted Lion King characters.
"All right everyone, this place sleeps six so we shouldn't have a problem finding a place to sleep." Hiccup told everyone while putting his bag on the nearest bed.
"I've got the sofa bed." Fishlegs declared putting his stuff down.
"We've got the table bed, looks it's a table it's a bed, it's a bed." Tuffnut lowered the table up and down.
"Hey sis we need a table bed for our apartment." he continued.
"Way ahead of you bro, we need to get rid of that old couch anyway." Ruffnut agreed.
"Hey that's where I sleep!" Snotlout said angrily.
"Well good luck trying to find somewhere else to sleep." Tuffnut told him.
"Yeah because if you think that you're gonna sleep on our table bed then you've got another thing coming mister" Ruffnut pointed at Snotlout.
"Speaking of which, where am I suppose to sleep? Hiccstrid over here already claimed the bed, Fishbone's sleeping on the couch and the terrible twins are living it up on the stupid table bed!" Snotlout exclaimed.
The twins high fives each other at that last comment.
"Well you could bunk with Fishlegs." Ruffnut laughed while Fishlegs started blushing.
"I swear it was an accident." defended Fishlegs.
"Sure you did, and I'm Walt Disney. Wait what if i am?" Ruffnut got to wondering.
"That makes sense, I'm very creative and I've had my fair share of living with rats." she continued on.
Snotlout was fed up with the amount of stupidity in the room.
"I'll figure it out later, I don't know about you guys but the snotman needs an alcoholic beverage." Snotlout announced to everyone.
"Count me in too bro, that delicious dried up peppermint gum made me thirsty, you coming sis?" Tuffnut asked his sister.
"Sure I'll go but I don't know if Walt wants to go? I'm sure who's who anymore."
"I'll go but only to explore the resort and catch up on my reading, you two coming?" Fishlegs asked.
Hiccup and Astrid looked at each other and smiled.
"We'll meet you guys down there, we just wanna relax for a minute." Hiccup answered.
The others just stared but didn't question it.
"Okay, see you down there." Snotlout said before handing Hiccup a small object.
"You'll thank me later buddy." Snotlout told him.
But before Hiccup could respond, Snotlout sprinted out of the room with everyone else.
"What did he give you?" Astrid ask as she jumped on the bed.
"Not sure." Hiccup responded but as soon as he looked down at his hand he knew exactly what it was.
"Oh come on Snotlout!" he yelled.
Astrid also got a look at the unnamed object and got really, really, angry.
"I'm gonna kill him! We're going to the bar grabbing a drink and then I'll kill him!" she yelled heading out to the resort.
Hiccup stopped his fuming girlfriend before she could go any further and grabbed her arm.
"Relax Astrid, you know Snotlout. He's all brawn and no brains." He said twirling her around and started massaging her shoulders something that Astrid always loved.
"Besides, Snot's gonna drink too much anyway and more than likely suffer a huge hangover when we go to Hollywood Studios tomorrow morning." he whispered in her ear causing her to giggle.
"Can't wait for that picture." Astrid said with joy.
"And now that everyone's gone out, we've finally got some alone time." Hiccup smiled as he laid on the bed taking off his prosthetic left leg.
"That we do babe." Astrid said as she pulled her shoes off to get more comfortable.
The two were facing each other clearly in love.
"You know what you need to do, don't be afraid." she whispered.
Hiccup smiled went over to grab that specific object from the tabletop.
With such confidence his arm went out and with a might thrust...
Grabbed the resort telephone and called dining delivery.
"Yes Resort Delivery, we would like to order a large pizza with pepperoni, black olives..."
"Don't forget mushrooms Hiccup." Astrid reminded him.
"Oh yeah mushrooms as well, oh hold on a second." Hiccup leaned over to Astrid.
"Did you want wings as well?" he asked her.
"...Duh?" Astrid replied in shock.
"And wings as well, thank you goodbye." Hiccup finished the call as he kissed Astrid.
Meanwhile at the bar.
Snotlout was already on his third drink and was starting to get tipsy.
"You know, I don't know how Hiccup and Astrid got so lucky. I mean those two were made for each other and now I got stuck with you." he confesses...to Fishlegs who was still reading his book.
"I'm sorry were you still talking? The Twins went to the pool, something about a breath-holding contest. Haven't seen them back up yet." Fishlegs said without even looking up to Snotlout.
"Eh if they drown they drown, so what's going on with you and Ruffnut?" Snotlout got closer to Fishlegs.
This got the geek to look up.
"There is nothing between us Snotlout, she's not my type!" He angrily responded.
Snotlout put his hands up in response.
"Okay okay, just making conversation. Then what is your type?" he said continuing to drink.
"I don't know man, but it's definitely not Ruffnut. I mean she's a really good friend, but I just don't see it." Fishlegs said with honesty.
"Well you better hurry up and decide, you're not getting any younger." Snotlout said taking another swing before Fishlegs took his beer.
"And you're not getting any drunker, we've got four theme parks to get through. He's done." Fishlegs told the bartender.
Snotlout wanted to argue but he knew he was right.
"I bet Hiccstrid is having much more fun than I am." He mumbled under his breath.
And oh they were having much more fun.
Hiccup and Astrid were laying on their bed with a open box of a half eaten pizza and buffalo wings that were devoured while watching Aladdin.
"I gotta tell you Milady, it doesn't get much better than this." he said taking a huge bite into his fifth slice of pizza.
"No it does not." she agreed while scavenging what's left on her buffalo wing.
"I can assure you Astrid that there's no more meat on that wing." laughed Hiccup.
"You can never be too sure, there's always some hiding in plain sight." she told him in a very serious tone.
Hiccup smiled but a serious thought came to his mind.
"We're gonna have to hide the evidence." He said grabbing another wing and drenching it in ranch dressing.
"And that's why I thank my body everyday for our fast metabolisms." Astrid said grabbing the final slide of pizza.
Hiccup smiled at his Astrid's ability to be a bottomless pit. Which is funny because Astrid is always telling him the same thing...probably explains why waiters give them dirty looks every time they arrive for all you can eat wing night at their local wing house, hiding the food would not be a problem for these two all.
Once they finished their food, they quickly threw everything away and sprayed the room to prevent their friends from suspecting anything.
Yeah they had no plans to go to the bar, so they finished the night by cuddling and finishing the movie.
Fishlegs was the first to come back with a passed out Snotlout.
"He's gonna kill me for this but it's for his own good." Fishlegs said putting Snotlout on the sofa bed.
Hiccup got up to get a drink of water from the kitchenette.
"Snotlout asleep?" Hiccup asked.
Fishlegs looked over to his drooling friend.
"Yep, you're girlfriend?" Fishlegs also asked.
Hiccup looked over to his sleeping...and snoring...and drooling girlfriend.
"Yeah, where are the twins?" Hiccup continued taking a sip of water.
"No idea, probably still trying to drown each other." Fishlegs said grabbing his own cup of water.
"Surprised no one's complained about them yet?" Hiccup told his oldest friend.
"Don't push it Hiccup we've still got six more days of vacation to worry about." Fishlegs said in a stern tone."
"My bad." Hiccup laugh while taking another sip of water.
"Hey thanks for inviting us to come along, the others are also appreciative...in their own bizarre way." Fishlegs told his friend.
"No problem, figured we all needed a break from real life." Hiccup said finishing his water.
"It just means a lot that you included all of us." Fishlegs continued.
"Well you're guys are my friends, you've helped me through some difficult times." Hiccup admitted, not wanting to think about bad memories.
Fishlegs knew this all too well. At one point, Fishlegs was the only friend Hiccup had and the two were bullied...a lot. But the two never stopped helping each other and they always had their backs, no matter what.
"Are we all set for tomorrow?" Fishlegs asked wanting to change the subject to something more positive.
"Yep we are, getting there around ten in the morning, Galaxy's Edge is still being constructed so we should be good to take our time tomorrow." Hiccup responded.
"That probably works better because I don't know how Drunky McDrunkDrunk is going to feel in the morning." Fishlegs pointed at a deep sleeping Snotlout.
"Not gonna lie, I'm really looking forward to seeing that tomorrow." Hiccup laughed.
The two friends continued to laugh until they saw the clock.
"Yeah we should probably get some sleep." Hiccup said looking at his bed that looked like heaven right about now.
"Agreed, you guys have a good night. Tomorrow's going to be great." Fishlegs said in excitement.
"Yeah it is, goodnight buddy." Hiccup said before retiring to his bedroom and shutting the door.
Fishlegs went over to the open space on his double sofa bed and immediately drifted into a comfortable slumber...because Snotlout fell on the floor and was not getting back up anytime soon.
As soon as everyone went to sleep the door opened to reveal the twins still in their bathing suits.
"Oh yeah, ten minutes baby. New record!" Tuffnut announced in a loud whisper.
"And we only almost died three times." Ruffnut agreed before looking at Fishlegs.
"And it would've been longer if they didn't kick us out of the pool." Tuffnut said in sorrow.
But Ruffnut was looking at Fishlegs. Turns out when Fishlegs said that Ruffnut wasn't her type, she cheated during the breath holding contest and went for a quick gasp of air...and proceeded to hear everything Fishlegs said.
Now she wasn't angry or hurt by any means. But man was she confused. She didn't know how to handle it. But she didn't want to look weak in front of her brother.
"Yeah stupid rules." Ruffnut told her brother but there was no response as Tuffnut had already drifted to sleep on their table bed.
Ruffnut decided not to worry about it and get some sleep for the next day.
"What do you think O Glorious Table Bed, do you think Fishlegs has feelings for me? she said as Tuffnut ripped out a very loud fart and she could've sworn that the table bed shook a little bit.
"Yeah I don't know either pal." She said before drifting to sleep.
Oh man, drama, action, adventure, pizza! What more could anyone want?!
Up next it's time for the gang to take on Hollywood!...Studios!
