Chapter 13

In no time, Hiccup's driveway and street was starting to overcrowd with cars. The moment the vehicles stopped, the doors flew open and teenagers flew out like bees from a hive. Even though it was lightly snowing, girls walked towards the house in skimpy short skirts, while their dates bounced and whooped in glee at the idea of coming to a party.

"Oh my gosh I'm so excited! To think this is my first ever house party!" Anna squealed as Jack helped her out of the truck.

Elsa looked across the lawn at the full, loud house and sighed, her displeasure clearly visible. To think I could be back home and curled up with a good book.

"This is gonna suck." the blonde admitted as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Oh come on it's not gonna be that bad. Your date's perfect!" Anna giggled, coming up beside her. Elsa forced on a crooked smile as she allowed Anna to pull her towards the house.

"Jack's not my date." she declared.

"Okay then you definitely got a good-looking friend there. I gotta say Frost can really be hot when he tries to impress someone." Anna corrected with a sly purr.

"Hey Anna, please be quiet."

"Okay okay sheesh!"

At the door, Hiccup opened it and smiled wide. "Welcome one and all to my humble abode!" he greeted, gesturing to the house.

"Thanks Hiccup!" Anna responded cheerfully, moving past him. Her eyes were wide as she took in the sight of the party.

Elsa mumbled a dry thanks and walked after Anna, watching her sister's every move. As Jack, Elsa, and Anna walked away, Hiccup turned around and suddenly bumped right into Astrid.

"Hey!" Astrid exclaimed.

"Astrid!" Hiccup blushed at her simple jean jacket, short olive green dress over black leggings and beige, fur-trimmed uggies. Her hair was pulled back in a simple side braid and her once-full bangs were pushed back to the side, showing off her nice blue eyes.

Wow. Hiccup quickly tugged at his shirt collar and swallowed. "H-h-hi Astrid! I didn't think you'd come!"

Astrid rolled her eyes and snorted. "Well I'm here aren't I? Now where's the bathroom? I got a dozen bugs in my teeth because someone doesn't know how to slow down on his damned bike!"

"Just down the hall! Everything's in there." Hiccup pointed to the door.

"Thanks Haddock," Astrid moved past him. When Astrid was gone, Hiccup turned to look straight at Snotlout's scowl. Before Hiccup knew it he was grabbed in a headlock and given a knuckle rub by the jock.

"Hey looks like someone finally got through his puberty!" Snoutlout chuckled.

"Nice to see you too Snotlout." Hiccup groaned and pulled away. He was about to step aside and let Snotlout through when all of a sudden, a loud shout came from the family room, followed by a rush of excited teens. Everyone who stood at the door turned and began running to the source of the sound.

"FIGHT!"

"Oh great. The party hasn't even start yet." Hiccup groaned. He ran after the crowd in time to catch a sight of Eret and Hercules throwing punches at each other.

"Yeah now that's what I'm talking about! Whoo-hoo! Fight! Fight! Fight!" Snotlout howled with glee beside him. Hiccup pushed past the crowds of crazy teenagers that looked like they were watching a gladiator show.

"Guys could you please take it outside?" the brunette begged.

Almost as if on cue, both jocks turned and smashed right into the patio door, shattering the glass and falling out onto the snow. The crowd stood silent and stunned for a long moment before Tuffnut let out an loud hoot that was echoed by the others. Hiccup, on the other hand, paled at the sight of the scattered glass and broken hinges. He could already see steam shooting out from his dad's ears.

"Thank you!" he called. Turning around, Hiccup began to go the other way, his hands coming to hold his face. "Oh crap! That's definitely gonna need some duct-tape!"

Jack was coming up the stairs with Elsa when when a smiling Eris grabbed him from the corner. She wore an excessively tight black dress that showed a good amount of pale skin and her long black hair fell over her bare shoulders.

"Hey Frost I thought I'd find you here." she purred seductively, grabbing his shirt collar and pulling him towards her.

Jack smiled and glanced around. "Hey Eris, long time no see."

Luckily for him, Pitch happened to be close by, looking bored beyond belief and leaning against a wall. As Eris made a move to kiss him, Jack grabbed his best friend and pushed him right in front of the girl.

"Pitch this is Eris. Eris, Pitch." Jack introduced. For once in his life Pitch hesitated and actually blushed as he took in Eris's curves and bare skin. He turned to Jack with a nervous look.

"Here you go. Knock yourselves out, she's a circus." Jack patted him in the back with a mischievous smile.

"Um..." Pitch turned back to Eris, who smiled and tapped her chin as she looked him over.

"Well well well I don't think we've met before." Eris whispered before she grabbed Pitch and began to drag him away. "Let's go dance."

As Eris led the stuttering Pitch away, Jack shook his head playfully and turned to face Elsa. His smile though, quickly disappeared at the empty spot next to him.

"Elsa?" Jack glanced around the area and let out a short sigh.

Oh no.

Up the stairs leading to the second floor, Elsa was pushing and shoving past the clusters of people when she suddenly found herself brushing into Hans. The senior smiled and draped an arm around her shoulder.

"Hey Ice Witch, I gotta admit you look sexy tonight. Although we expected more icy skin." he admitted.

Rolling her eyes, Elsa pushed him aside, her nose taking in more than one shot on him. "I wish I could say the same about you, but oh yeah I can't, since I don't find drunk, horny guys sexy at all."

"Oooh feisty aren't we? As gorgeous as you are Elsa, I'm actually looking for your sister. Any idea where I can find her?" Hans asked, glancing over Elsa's shoulder.

"You keep your paws off her got it? I know exactly what you're trying to pull off tonight." Elsa threatened, jabbing a finger into the auburn's chest.

Hans laughed and leaned in. "Oh really? We'll just have to see about that. It seems that it's actually Anna that can't keep her hands of me." he winked and brushed past her.

Elsa watched him leave with a disgusted look before she let out a growl and began to move through the dancing crowds.

With an exhausted sigh, Hiccup slumped down at the end of the couch and tried to look interested as a preppy Taylor Swift song played in the background.

In reality Hiccup was starting to doubt this party, especially considering he didn't have a porch door, his dad's prized Vikings wall decor was missing, and desperate teenagers were going crazy at the liquor cabinet as if the Prohibition just ended. And to top of the night, he found himself sharing the couch with Rapunzel Summers and her boyfriend, who were currently in the middle of an intense make-out session.

"Hiccup? Is that you?" a high voice spoke up behind him. Hiccup spun around and his eyes widened at the sight of Heather standing behind him, smiling wide and holding a red solo cup.

Heather also went to Burgress High and she was one of the prettiest girls in the school with her raven black hair and bright green eyes. She was most well known for being one of Burgress High's best actresses in the theater but she also loved playing sports, which often times made her clash with Burgress's top female athlete Astrid Hofferson.

"Heather hi!" Hiccup smiled and draped an arm over the sofa.

"Mind if I sit down?" Heather asked, nodding at the empty spot beside Hiccup.

Hiccup nodded with a crooked smile. "Sure go ahead," he gestured.

Heather sat down next to him. "Enjoying yourself?"

"Sure, um you look really nice." Hiccup admitted, taking in her short gray dress, brown tights, and tall black boots. Her hair was pulled back in a short, perfect ponytail and her eyes were outlined with a thin trace of mascara.

"Thanks, so how's life been treating you? I don't see you around so much at school." Heather said.

Hiccup shrugged. "Great, I mean it looks like everyone's having an awesome time."

"Everyone except you, you look like you just saw someone set half the house on fire." Heather giggled. She turned to the nearby coffee table that was covered with endless shot glasses and half-drained tequila bottles.

"Maybe what you need is one of these. Want one?" she suggested, turning to the brunette.

Hiccup's eyes widened before he turned to Heather. He didn't want to admit it that he still didn't have a good shot, but as he glanced at Heather he suddenly couldn't see what could go wrong.

Hiccup smiled. "Sure."

After popping open a fresh new bottle, Heather poured two shots and handed him a full glass. As she handed it, Hiccup felt her fingers linger on his for a brief moment and she looked up at him with a smile that somehow made Hiccup's belly flip.

"Cheers!" Heather announced, holding her glass high.

"Cheers. Hiccup chuckled as their glasses clinked. They both threw their heads back and Hiccup winced as the alcohol trickled down his throat. Damn that was strong!

Nearby, Astrid was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and a bored expression on her face. She thought about ditching her spot and looking for Elsa when Astrid suddenly caught sight of a certain brunette boy sitting on the couch, throwing back a shot. The girl narrowed her eyes and sure enough, she was also able to see a raven black head near Hiccup's.

Astrid clenched her fists at the sight of Hiccup Haddock and Heather. They looked beyond cozy on that couch and Heather was starting to get a little too close to her drinking buddy. Hiccup looked flushed, but Heather looked much worse. Astrid doubted Hiccup even knew how to react to her moves. Heather was clearly manipulating him. Astrid saw enough soap operas to know what could happen if Hiccup got his hands on too many shots.

Urgh why do I even care? This is Hiccup for crying out loud. Astrid thought grouchily. She forced herself to tear her eyes away but then she suddenly noticed Heather leaning forward towards Hiccup as if she was about to…

"Hey Astrid I got you something!" Astrid turned and scowled at Ruffnut as her friend sauntered over to her, holding a cup full of blue slushy. As the blonde took the drink, a sudden idea flashed into her head as she turned back to the couch.

"Thanks Ruff." she sneered, moving away from the wall and up to Hiccup and Heather.

Once she was standing behind them, Astrid stumbled and tipped her drink over, letting the cold slush fall allover Heather's back. "Oops!"

The black-haired girl squealed and shot up from the couch. Astrid covered her grin and Hiccup looked just as startled as Heather squealed and tried to wipe the icy blue liquid off her shoulders. She stumbled back and suddenly fell flat on the coffee table with a scream. Nearby, a few teens laughed at the scene and Astrid wiped her hands together in satisfaction. While Hiccup could only stare in surprise, Heather spun around and was about to start screaming when Astrid rolled her eyes.

"Save your voice and the drama for theater Heather." she grumbled.

Heather's face was beet red as she gave Astrid a death-stare. The few bystanders were speechless and Astrid turned to see Hiccup biting his lips to hold back his laughter.

"I'm sorry Heather do you um want me to help you?" Hiccup choked out. Heather spun around and jabbed a furious finger at him.

"Don't even think about it!" she scowled before bowing her head and rushing away.

While the rest of the guests laughed at the scene, Astrid tossed her braid back happily and turned back to Hiccup. The boy looked beyond surprised and amused.

"Can I sit?" Astrid asked, nodding at the empty spot. Hiccup nodded quickly and moved aside. His moves were a little tipsy since his two shots but Astrid didn't seem to notice.

Okay note to self, no more shots tonight. Hiccup rubbed his head as Astrid sat down beside him. They sat in silence for a lengthy moment before Hiccup finally spoke up.

"Thanks, she was getting clingy." he chuckled.

Astrid shrugged and fumbled with the end of her braid. "You're welcome."

Hiccup quickly cleared his throat. "So….are you having fun tonight?"

"No, this party's pathetic, no offense of course. There's no one to talk to around here. Snotlout's drunk as hell, Ruffnut and Tuffnut are in the process of getting hung over at beer pong. The truth is…..I was never really a fan of these things."

"Yeah I didn't expect this to get all crazy either. Looks like this house isn't gonna see another party in a long time." Hiccup said.

"It could get worse." Astrid chuckled. Hiccup could not help but laugh along with her before they stopped and Astrid turned to face him. She was about to speak up when suddenly her eyes fell on Hiccup's neck.

"Hey is that a Vikings charm?" Astrid leaned in and picked up the silver charm that hung around Hiccup's neck. "It's beautiful."

Surprised, Hiccup found himself smiling from ear to ear. "Um…yeah. Yeah it is! Do you….do you watch it?"

"Heck yeah! It's my favorite show!"

Hiccup beamed in delight "Mine too!"

"So it looks like we finally got something to talk about." Astrid actually smiled. She glanced over her shoulder and gave the couple next to them a scowl.

"Wanna….um…maybe go somewhere more quiet?" Hiccup offered, unsure if he can keep his excitement at bay.

He stood up on his wobbly legs and held out a hand, hoping that he was not shaking too much from the nervousness. Astrid looked up and shrugged herself. She stood up and walked towards the door.

"Let's go Haddock. But I'll be watching you. One move and you're going down! Got it?" she narrowed her eyes and pointed two fingers at him in warning.

"Got it!" Hiccup winked.

When Astrid turned away, Hiccup gave himself a victorious fist pump before waltzing after the girl. "Yes! I'm in the game!"

While Astrid and Hiccup were occupied, Elsa was just making her way through the clusters of partiers when she caught sight of Hans and Anna in a lone corner. Her sister was innocently playing with her bracelet while Hans was looking at her like a drunk wolf. Elsa's fists clenched as she swept behind the banister. When she glanced back, she noticed Hans lean in and whisper something into Anna's ear. In an instant, Anna perked up and nodded before she took his arm.

Not on my watch! Elsa thought, her big-sister mode on high alert. She made her way over to the couple, who turned at her footsteps. Anna immediately looked annoyed at Elsa's intrusion. She took Hans's arm and began to walk away.

"C'mon Hans," she huffed.

"Anna wait!" Elsa protested and grabbed her sister's arm before Anna could get away so easily.

The sophomore pulled back and sighed. "What is it Elsa?"

"Can I please talk to you alone?" Elsa flashed Hans a dangerous glare.

Anna though, stood her ground with a deep frown. "No, whatever you have to say you can say to the both of us." she nodded to Hans.

Feeling the irritation brew up inside her, Elsa lifted her chin. "Fine, but I hope you know what you're getting yourself into."

Anna rolled her eyes, while Hans pretended to look confused at the whole situation. "Oh and what is that exactly? Hans and I love each other! Why can't you just accept that and let me go on with my life?"

At the remark, Hans beamed, while Elsa could only stare at her. Was she serious? "Oh Anna what could you possibly know about true love?"

"More than you. At least I'm descent enough to have someone love me back!" her sister fired.

While Anna kept her gaze on Elsa, the blonde noticed an amused smirk slip across Hans's face at the little scene. It took all of Elsa's strength not to reach out and throttle him right there.

"You know what? I think you should loosen up a bit. It might do you good for once." Anna spoke up before pulling Hans away from her.

Elsa shook her head in disbelief as the pair drew farther away. Anna kept her gaze forward, while Hans turned and gave Elsa a smug grin that made Elsa fuse like a teakettle. Biting her lips, Elsa spun around and began to move away.

This was it. Rules or not, Elsa was out of here. She was having enough of this party and all she suddenly wanted to do was step out and clear her head. She certainly won't step in her sister's way anymore if that's how Anna wanted. She would let Anna see how 'charming' Hans could be.

But seeing as this was not exactly her house and not knowing where the closet was, Elsa found herself pushing and shoving past people until she found herself entering the kitchen. At the island, a small group of teens were knocking back shots and Elsa immediately turned towards them, her brows raising.

Loosen up she says? Fine I can do that! Elsa thought angrily as she approached the island and grabbed herself a glass.

Snotlout chuckled and held up his drink. "Cheers!" he cried in a slurred voice.

The two of them reached out and clinked glasses before throwing them back.

The moment she slammed the glass down and Snotlout poured a second, Jack moved past the people at the door and approached his furious date. No doubt the sight of Elsa's red face and flashing eyes startled him. One second she looked fine, but now she looked angrier than she had been at detention.

"Hey what's this?" Jack demanded as he watched Elsa shoot her second glass.

The girl winced from the aftermath and spun around to him. "What does it look like? I'm loosening up."

"I was looking allover the place for you."

Elsa laughed and held up her glass, the amber tequila swishing over the rim. "Well congratulations! You found me!" she grabbed another shot glass and shoved it into his hand. "Cheers!"

Jack gave her a long confused look before he snapped out of it. "Look I don't know what made you tick, but I think you should sit and cool down...literally. I can't risk getting my butt kicked if your dad hears about this!" he assured, setting the glass down.

"Hell no! The party just started for me. Looks like the perfect girl is gone tonight!" And with a crude grin, Elsa turned and pushed her way through the crowds.

Jack could only watch her in complete disbelief, unsure if he heard her correctly. What the hell just happened?

Turning to the island, Jack considered downing his glass when he suddenly noticed a red-faced Snotlout standing hunched in front of the trash can. Somehow the little scene disturbed Jack, even though he was used to the parties and overflow of alcohol.

"Oh no." Jack groaned, running a hand through his hair.

Looks like this was going to be a long night.

More to come! The party's not over yet ;)
