Here's the next chapter! Here, we see whether Dani fights Hiccup, Astrid, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, or they don't fight.
Onto the story!
Chapter 3: … And The Judo Flip
Astrid, Ruffnut and Tuffnut held their respective weapons threateningly as Dani glared heatedly at them while Snotlout looked awkwardly at the others.
"Uh, guys, maybe you should put the weapons down, and-" Snotlout began, but Hiccup interrupted, "Snotlout, we heard you scream. We figured that this girl may have-"
"Uh, this girl is right here! Now, I don't know who the heck you all are, but you better step away before I make you regret it," Dani threatened, eyes briefly flashing green as she clenched her fists.
"Ooo, she's feisty. I like that. But I'm sorry, Heather-Imposter, but if you could stand down and we'll-" Tuffnut started as he walked towards Dani, but the raven-haired girl yelled, grabbed Tuffnut's arm and threw him over her shoulder.
"Or you could throw me over your shoulder," Tuffnut wheezed out. "Oh, I am hurt. I am very much hurt."
"That was a warning. I suggest you leave now," Dani warned. "Unless you want to be next."
"Okay, I like her, even though she's threatening us," Ruffnut said.
"You like the girl who threw your brother over her shoulder?" Astrid asked Ruffnut incredulously.
"Yeah. It's why I like her. That, and her spunk."
"Guys, maybe we should lower the weapons. We're just making the girl more nervous," Hiccup suggested.
"Uh, the girl has a name," Dani said, hands on her hips.
"Oh yeah. Then what is it? Wait, is that a rhetorical question?" Tuffnut asked.
Dani sighed exasperatedly as she rubbed the bridge of her nose.
"Oh Clockwork," she muttered, before she said out loud, "My name's Danielle, but call me Dani, with an 'I'."
"Uhhh… you want us to call you Dani-With-An-I?" Tuffnut asked.
Dani groaned.
"It's just Dani. D-A-N-I. Simple as that."
"So… it's just Dani?"
Dani groaned again. "Yes."
"Oh. Why didn't you just say so?"
Dani just face-palmed.
"Don't worry, Dani, he's like that all the time; insufferable, annoying and irritable," Ruffnut assured the darker haired girl.
"Yeah! Wait… insufferable?" Tuffnut questioned.
Everyone groaned.
"Okay, how about we start over? Hey Dani, my name's Hiccup, and-is there something funny?"
Dani, who had previously been standing on the bed, was now doubled over, trying and failing to hide her snorts of laughter.
"Sorry, I shouldn't, but… Hiccup? Please don't tell me no one has at least made a joke about it? Like, what if you have the hiccups, and someone asks, 'Got the hiccups, Hiccup?' I'm really sorry, I shouldn't be making fun. But still…" Dani made a half-snort, half-laughing noise.
"Wow. Dani has a point. Why has no one asked Hiccup that when he has the hiccups?" Tuffnut asked.
Everyone looked at him.
"What?"
"Again, I'm really sorry, Hiccup. I've never met someone named Hiccup before," Dani apologised again.
"Uh, it's okay, Dani. You're probably not used to hearing Viking names," Hiccup said.
"Yeah… you could say that. Anyway, what are all of your names? I promise I won't laugh."
"Okay; this is Astrid. That's Ruffnut and the guy you threw over your shoulder is her brother, Tuffnut-" Hiccup started introducing.
"They're twins, right?" Dani asked.
"Yeah. And you've already met Snotlout," Hiccup finished.
"Yeah… we kinda butted heads when I first woke up," Dani said, pointing to her head as Snotlout rubbed his own forehead.
"She headbutted Snotlout when she first woke up? She's even cooler than I first thought she was," Ruffnut said.
"I guess so. Anyway, since I now know your names, can I ask where I am?" Dani inquired them, getting off Hiccup's bed.
"You're at Dragon's Edge, Dani. It's our base," Astrid told her.
"Cool name for a base. But why did you call it Dragon's Base?" Dani asked.
"Well…"
Before Astrid could finish, a black blur ran into the room and tackled a surprised Hiccup to the ground.
"TOOTHLESS!" Hiccup cried from where he was lying on the ground underneath…
"Oh. That's why," Dani said, her eyes slightly wide at seeing the dragon.
And Dani has now officially met the other dragon riders. It looks like Dani will get along with the other riders. And I'm sorry if I got Dani's personality wrong or the other riders, or if Dani was too mean with her reaction towards hearing Hiccup's name. And she has also met Toothless.
What will be her reaction to Toothless and the other dragons? You will have to wait and see…
