Chapter 6
The morning was especially warm not because the sun was shining brightly above the dragon academy, but because of a viking girl inside who was slowly losing patience. Astrid paced back and forth across the grounds...
Astrid: where is he? Augh.. "See you when the sun comes up" (nasal tone) my foot! I swear if he-
Astrid continues to walk around the academy until she spots a gronckle sleeping at the corner..
Astrid: huh? Is that.. Meatlug! Wait if you're here then..
And she crept to its side and know and behold there he is snoring like his dragon...
Astrid: Fishlegs!
Fishlegs: (snore) huh?.. (Blinks)
Astrid: what are you doing here and why are you sleeping on the ground?
Fishlegs: huh? (Yawns then rubs his eyes)
Fishlegs rubs his eyes and as soon as he spots astrids face, he turns around holds meatlug close and whispers something..
Astrid: hey! I was talking to you.. (Crossing her arms)
Fishlegs ignores her call and keeps walking
Astrid: Fishlegs!
Fishlegs: oh great, now she remembers us.. right meatlug..
Astrid: why wouldn't I remember you? Fishlegs, What's going on with you?
Fishlegs: oh nothing.. I seem to have FORGOTTEN what it was anyway..
Astrid: huh? If you want to say something then just say it..
Fishlegs: hmph.. Did hiccup arrive home safely? Hmm..
Astrid: he did, but what does that have to do with you?
Fishlegs: oh I don't know.. Maybe a certain someone was forced to wait out in the cold for a certain someone's boyfriend..
Astrid: a certain someone? Forced to wait.. Oh! Right I asked you to wait for hiccup in case he shows up at the academy..
Fishlegs: (more like forced..) and like a good friend I waited for him, but did he show up?
Astrid: uh he-
Fishlegs: nope, he didn't
Astrid: he did show up, just not in here.. he was at the docks with-
Fishlegs: so you already found him.. And yet I didn't see a signal anywhere.. Mind explaining that..
Astrid: (sigh) alright.. I forgot ok, I was busy with
Fishlegs: hiccup.. (Rolls eyes)
Astrid: yeah and hea- hey! What's that supposed to mean? And who's a certain someone's boyfriend!
Fishlegs: oh please astrid.. Do you really have to ask that question? I'm 90 percent sure you and hiccup are already a couple
Astrid: (blush) He's not my b-boy, were not a couple!
Fishlegs: ook.. Whatever you say..
Astrid rolls her fist and was about to hit fishlegs square in the face but fishlegs steps back and covers his face leaving a little bit of space for his eyes to pick
Fishlegs: is this how you treat your fellow dragon rider..
Astrid moves closer with an intent to cause physical harm
Fishlegs: w-who followed your orders and ended up sleeping on the ground last niiight (closes eyes)
Astrid: (sigh) fine.. I'm sorry, ok
Fishlegs: huh? Really?
Astrid: really.. Go home you deserve it..
Fishlegs: gee, thanks astrid.. For a second there I thought you were gonna punch me (laugh)
Astrid: oh don't worry, I still am.. (Light punch to his stomach)
Fishlegs: huh? Ooff
Astrid: go, and he's not my boyfriend got it
Fishlegs: ook, got it.. (I'm just gonna shut up before she decides to punch me again)
Astrid: hiccup.. My boyfriend (blush) augh whatever.. where in Thor's name is he!?
Fishlegs hurriedly climbed on meatlug and flew away, without looking back. While meatlug was hovering a sudden gust of wind flew past them causing the gronckle to swerve into the ground. But just before crashing fishlegs notices a black dragon toothless and hiccup no doubt but who was that other guy clinging onto him.. Whatever I'm too tired to think right now... Hiccup didn't notice fishlegs, mostly because he was too terrified at what's coming next. After their almost collision with meatlug hiccup finally arrived at the dragon academy, only to find a furious viking girl glaring at them from below..
Hiccup: oh boy.. The God's really hate me (face palm)
Heather: huh? Is it safe to let go now?
Hiccup: huh? Yeah yeah.. But you might wanna brace yourself (awkward laugh)
Heather: (lets go) for what?
Hiccup: that (point)
She searches the sky for an enemy dragon but hiccup points below to a raging storm.. Called astrid
Astrid: hiccup get down here!
Hiccup: (flinch) I guess that's my cue.. Cmon bud..
Heather: she looks really mad..
Toothless landed inside the academy and as soon as hiccup and heather gets off he dashes towards stormfly to play or maybe just hide from Astrid's wrath..
Hiccup: wh-where do you think you're going? (Sigh) great, you're not afraid of a giant dragon ten times your size but when it comes to astrid you hide behind stormfly.. really?
Heather: (pokes his shoulder) um I think toothless has the right idea..
Hiccup turns around and there she was as furious as ever, it was one thing to not keep his promise.. Twice in a row, but because of the same reason or more accurately, the same person...
Hiccup: (gulp then cough) hi astri-aah
Before hiccup could even finish a sentence Astrid quickly threw her axe towards him, the axe narrowly misses hiccups face and firmly plants itself on the shield behind him. Which causes hiccup to stumble down to the ground, he looks to his back to confirm were the axe hit and what might've been his face.. Heather quickly runs towards hiccup to check how he was if the axe did miss or maybe it scratched him just a little bit. An action that frustrated astrid even more.. Hiccup notices her face and the apparent death aura she was exuding, so he pushes heather slightly creating a bit of space and just laughed it off
Heather: hiccup! Are you ok?
Hiccup: (sweat bead falls) aah yeah (slight push and laugh) I'm fine..
Astrid walks menacing towards the two still managing to keep her death glare on, until she finally reaches the both of them
Hiccup: astrid I'm so so-
Astrid: oh don't mind me, pleease.. continue what you two were doing.. (Sarcastic)
Hiccup: what? It's not (sigh) I'm sorry, it's just toothless wanted to go for a morning flight and.. you know I can't say no to that face (gestures both hands to toothless)
Hiccup signals toothless to smile and smile he did..
Astrid: oh no! I'm not falling for that one.. I'm not letting toothless bail you out of this one..
Hiccup: w-what, why would I even think about doing something like that (awkward laugh gives toothless a thumbs down)
Heather: astrid, don't be so hard on him, it wasn't his fault..
Astrid: oh really now.. And how is it not his fault? It's his dragon..
Heather: hiccup wanted to head straight to the academy.. but I said it was ok if we go out for a while..
Astrid: so it's Your fault..
Hiccup: huh? But- (heather nudges his foot)
Heather: yes, I'm really sorry astrid.. hiccup just wanted to go to the academy but I insisted on flying.. So if you're gonna be mad at someone then you should be mad at me
Hiccup: heather..
Astrid: (sigh) honestly.. I can't be mad at you (looks at heather) you on the other hand (looks at hiccup), this isn't over.. (Astrid turns around to face stormfly) whatever.. Let's just get this over with..
Hiccup: (gulp) astrid wait I-mph (heather covers his mouth)
Astrid: what now-
Astrid turns around only to find heather holding hiccups mouth and cheek.. Right then and there a nerve broke and astrid suddenly pulls heather away from hiccup
Astrid: ok that's it! You're coming with me
Heather: huh? W-wait
Hiccup: astrid, where are you taking her?
Astrid: she wants to learn about deadly nadders right! Then who better to teach her than me!.. So you and toothless can just go on your little adventure and leave everything to me
Hiccup: but it's not just deadly nadders she has to learn about
Heather: it's fine hiccup (smile)
Astrid: there see, now go!
Hiccup: but-
Astrid: GO!
Hiccup: ok, ok cmon bud.. I guess we're going on a "little adventure"
Toothless tilts his head but is happy all the same that their going flying again..
Hiccup: yeah I have no idea what that meant either (laugh).. Hey make sure she knows how to- oh they're gone (sigh) what was that all about.. Let's go bud..
