Sighing, Hiccup walked up to Toothless's house. She could hear the sounds of many people inside. She wondered what Toothless's teammates were like. Hopefully, they're not like Ashton and the rest of the Vikings. Aside from Astrid and Ruffnut being the only nicer once, but she was still weary about Toothless's friends. With a deep breath, Hiccup rung the doorbell. The door opened and Toothless let out a huge smile. Behind him were lots of people. One was a girl with blonde hair and wore blue clothing, the other was a big girl with brown hair, the other had fiery red hair, and two twins with green hair. Hiccup let out a small smile.
"You made it!" Toothless exclaimed. "I thought for a second there you won't come."
Hiccup rolled her eyes. "Really?"
"Aw, she's so cute!" the blonde girl squealed.
Hiccup blushed as Toothless put an arm around her as he let her inside. His friends were staring at her as if she was a stranger. Toothless sat her down at the nearest couch and the group sat at the other couches. Hiccup glanced around. She could feel the awkwardness around her. Just think of the plan!, Hiccup thought to herself. She could see it now. Once Hiccup claimed that Toothless is NightFury, Toothless's friends will confess that it's true and she'll have Toothless exposed. After that she hopefully goes on a third date with him. The romantic flight and ice skating counts as it.
"Friends, Hiccup, Hiccup friends," Toothless stated.
"H-Hi!" Hiccup stuttered.
"The red hair is Hookfang, blondie Stormfly, twins Belch and Barf (that's not their real hair), and brown hair Meatlug."
"Do they have nicknames?" Hiccup asked
Toothless nodded. "Yeah, Stormfly is Deadly Nadder, Hookfang is Monsterous Nightmare, Meatlug is Gronkle, and the twins Zippleback."
"What's your nickname?" Hiccup eyed at him.
Toothless smirked. "I will tell you at the party."
"Really?!"
"Yep, now excuse me, I have to get some snacks and play nice, Hiccup."
"Hey!"
Toothless winked at her as he closed the door, going into the kitchen. Hiccup glanced at the kitchen. There was no windows and there was only one door. Hiccup stared at Toothless's friends and back at the door. It does looked like Toothless does need to get something. He might be trying to be a good host. Besides they look like nice people to hang out with and they do look familiar. Hiccup had seen Stormfly with Astrid a lot, but never hung out with the two because she didn't want to disturbed them, even when Ruffnut and Tuffnut hung out with the green haired twins too.
"It's Finally to meet you Hiccup," Storymfly said. "Astrid and Toothless told us about you."
"Mostly Toothless," Hookfang pointed out. "That guy couldn't stop talking about you. It took us a while to shut him up."
Hiccup giggled. "Really?"
"Are you kidding?" Belch shouted. "That guy practically worships you! We wouldn't be surprised if he never talked about us!"
Hiccup narrowed her eyes. That is true. Toothless never mentioned them until yesterday. Besides, Stormfly does remind her of Astrid a lot and they could be like twins, but Stormfly seemed to be a bit older. The twins younger, but older than Toothless, while Hookfang and Mealug seemed like they're the oldest. Hiccup wondered how Toothless got position of captain if he's the youngest.
"He really does adores you," Meatlug pointed out. "When he first saw you, it was technically love at first sight!"
Hiccup frowned. "He noticed me?"
Stormfly nodded. "Yeah, ever since the beginning of his Sophomore year and when he saw you hanging out with Astrid, he went heads over heels. Of course you never noticed because you never met him, but he did tried to talk to you whenever you're with Astrid, but he chickened out and never did. He did accidentally found out you worked with Gobber when he was hanging out with me and Astrid. We sometimes stopped by at the shop just to tease him, but he never went in. He even got a job at Gobber's because he wanted to talk to you. Then Astrid was planning for you guys to have a blind date, but instead, he accidentally kicked you with a soccer ball."
Hiccup blinked. "I never noticed that."
"Yeah, he technically fell for you hard, but don't tell him we told you this," Stormfly whispered. "he'll kill us!"
Hiccup smiled. "I won't!"
Fiddling with her braid, Hiccup wished she could've met Toothless at that time. The two would've gotten along easily like they do know and become great friends that like each other! Hiccup also wished she would've noticed Toothless like he had noticed her. That would've changed everything! Then Hiccup frowned. She wondered if the part when Stormfly said "Astrid was planning for you guys a blind date" was true. Astrid might've planned for them to meet by private chat rooms on their phones. Hiccup sighed. She needed to ask her question before Toothless comes back.
"So do you like Toothless, Hiccup?" Meatlug asked.
"Yeah do you?" Hookfang questioned. "Please say yes, we can't stand Toothless's love sickness anymore!"
Hiccup chuckled. "Yeah, I do, but..."
"What but?!" Barf demanded. "I don't like that but!"
"But we still barely know each other and if we do go out, it might feel one sided."
Stormfly patted her shoulder. "I'm sure Toothless will understand and I'm sure if you guys do go into a relationship after you tell him or vice versa, it might work out than you think."
"Really?"
"Sure! Had you seen Ashton and Heather? They barely knew each other and started becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. Look at them now! They're like the school's most popular couple, but I know you and Toothless will beat that."
Hiccup's eyes softened. Stormfly was right. It might work out than she thinks. She prayed Toothless wasn't listening to the whole thing because that would've been embarrassing for her and she probably might avoid him because of her confession that wasn't said directly to him. Then Hiccup shook her head. These questions were distracting her too much of her main goal! Hiccup doesn't want Stormfly and the others to know about her other crush on NightFury. they might call her names that Hiccup doesn't even wanted to hear. Hiccup scooted closer to the team, glaring at them.
"Is Toothless's nickname is Night Fury?" Hiccup demanded.
Stormfly blinked. "What are you talking about? Both Toothless and Night Fury are different people."
Hiccup stared at them blankly. "Really? Why do they have the same interests and personality then? Astrid set me up with Night Fury in a private chat and Toothless fits everything about him!"
Stormfly sighed. "I thought I told Astrid don't set you up with anyone!"
"Answer the question!" Hiccup snapped.
"They're neighbors and they grew up together," Meatlug replied.
"But in The Dragon Book, Toothless fits the description of a Night Fury!" Hiccup pointed out.
Hookfang shook his head. "Look, I don't know where you get that idea, but Toothless and Night Fury are different people."
Hiccup scoffed. "Do you have proof?"
"Yeah!" The twins nodded.
Stormfly took out her phone and handed it to her. Hiccup took it and stared at it. She blinked a few times. The picture was a bit similar to Toothless. This picture had a boy with pale skin, black freckles all over his body, green eyes, and short black hair. This picture looked like as if it was...
"Photoshop!" Hiccup stated. "This has to be photoshop!"
"Hiccup, we're serious, it's not photoshop." Meatlug said.
"Are you sure?" Hiccup demanded.
Meatlug. "We swear."
Hiccup sighed as she handed Stormfly's phone back. "Well...I feel stupid."
Meatlug chuckled. "It's alright, we have those moments."
Hiccup sighed and leaned back at the couch. Truth to be told, Hiccup doesn't believe what they were saying. The photo has to be photoshop, but at the same time, Hiccup does wanted to believe what they're saying as well. However, there was no way Hiccup was going to give up. She has Toothless coming over to her house for dinner, which was a perfect moment for her to sneak out, grab the phone, looked in it, and confront Toothless about it. Hopefully, this time Toothless's phone won't die on her or else she'll buy a charger and find out the hard way!
Then the door opened. Toothless came out with a tray of chips, dip, fish puffs, chicken, and juice. Toothless smiled at Hiccup and she smiled back. Hiccup wondered if he did heard them talking the whole thing because he was right next door!
"What did I missed?" Toothless asked.
"Nothing much!" Hiccup said quickly. "By the way, do you know where the restroom is?"
"Down the hall to the right, hurry back."
"I will."
Hiccup raced into the hall and went to the right into the bathroom. She locked it and placed her forehead on the wall. Even though Hiccup had planned everything out, she wanted to give up, but at the same time she doesn't want to. Hiccup knew she has one last chance left and if she blew it, she has to wait after Christmas Even just to find out. Then Hiccup's eyes widened. Astrid was the one who set her up with NightFury and she's the last person who knows who he really is. Astrid may be her last chance to find out if her plan for tomorrow doesn't work. Then Hiccup's phone vibrated.
NightFury: I see you tried to find out who I am, you can't get enough of me, huh? ;)
OneLeg_VikingHero: Shut up and who told you?!
NightFury: Who else?
OneLeg_VikingHero: I will find out who you are!
NightFury: I'll like to see you try!
OneLeg_VikingHero: Don't you underestimate me!
NightFury: I won't, but if I were you, I would just wait.
OneLeg_VikingHero: Why do you want me to wait? Do you think you won'y like that I'm not the girl behind the phone?
NightFury: What?! Are you serious? No, I just think it'll be a cool surprise. I'll like you no matter who you are.
OneLeg_VikingHero: Really?
NightFury: Well yeah! I think you're a great person and have a cute personality ;)
OneLeg_VikingHero: You know sometimes wouldn't get you anywhere.
NightFury: Well I'm being honest! Can't blame me for that!
OneLeg_VikingHero: Thanks, by the way, I have to go.
NightFury: Yeah, I think my friends are wondering why you're not back.
OneLeg_VikingHero: I'll talk to you later, bye!
NightFury: See you at the party, princess ;)
