Chapter 5 – Midnight, parties and stupid ideas

NORMAL POV

Watching him go away with his bike, Astrid couldn't be more happy and sad at the same time. For once, she was happy because Hiccup had been amazing during the whole afternoon, plus they promised to be friends again which was a big plus in her book. At the same time, however she was sad because she had to go and leave just like that, and for something she didn't even wanted to go…

'This sucks' thought Astrid while starting the engine on Fishlegs car. They were lucky she had recently gotten her driver's license, if not they would not have the freedom to drink all of the booze away.

That was another thing that Astrid didn't understand, what was the purpose of drinking your own weight in beer and other stuff, if in the morning all that you would have was a killer headshake and no memories from the night before? But alas, going to a party was considered cool, and if you wanted to remain on the top of the social chain you had to make some sacrifices.

That didn't meant that Astrid went to all of her parties, not a chance, she knew she had to focus on her studies and that a scholarship didn't pay for itself…

"Hey Astrid can we turn on the radio ?" came the voice of one of the few female friends Astrid had.

"Yeah sure Ruff but not too loud, I kind want to hear well until I'm at least 60" Astrid said while looking at the seat next to her, where Ruffnut was. Fishlegs was in the back seat, reading something on his phone. Tuffnut and Snotlout were in another car, most likely packed full with beers packs for the party

"Don't be a party popper! You need to live a little!" Ruff said while switching the radio on, immediately a metal song started to ring, thank god the volume was only 30 out of 50 .

"I'm not being a party popper; I just don't feel like listening to loud music now" grumble Astrid

Fishlegs decided to make his opinion known "But Astrid if you aren't in the mood for loud music, why are you going to the party?"

"Cause Someone needs to make sure you are all alive tomorrow !" Astrid shouted angrily

Fishlegs decided it would be best to remain quite the rest of the ride …

WITH HICCUP – HICCUP POV

After taking Astrid home, I looked at my phone and saw three messages from Elf, deciding to call him instead of reading the messages, I click on his name. After four rings he answer

"Fuck Hiccup! Did you lose your phone or something, cause now it's not the time to play hide" the rough voice of Elf echoed on my hears

"No I forgot I had put it on silence… so what do you text me for ?"

"So you haven't read the messages? Well it doesn't matter now… I need you on the shop tonight, it's the first day of college which means drunken and stupid young adults making stupid decisions, just like tattooing a dolphin on their butt"

"Why do I think you don't feel sorry for them?"

"Cause I don't. They need a reminder of their mistakes and I need the money, all of us win in this"

"You more than they obviously"

"NO WE more that they, in case you forgotten I'm the one who pays you my friend, and without customers there isn't money to make"

" Okay okay, don't need to get grumpy . What time do you want me here?"

"How about right now, it's almost 7:00 which means we have another 3 to 4 hours before there is money to be made, that's plenty of time to prepare"

"Roger that… do you need anything else ?"

"If you can bring some Chinese food, me and the guys haven't eaten yet"

"Okay I will, is everyone there?"

"Yes we will need all of us tonight"

"Then that is 9 orders, is your girlfriend there with you too?"

"No she and the other girls are making a girls night. That remains me, when are you gonna find your sell a lad ?"

"And this is the moment I hung up, see you in 30 minutes tops"

"Don't think you can escape this forever ! We will talk when you arrive" and with that I hung up.

Letting out a sigh, I started my bike once again. Sometime it sucked being the youngest, and as if that wasn't bad enough I was also the only one without a girlfriend. Elf, shadow and the rest of the guys all had girlfriends. Because of that I was constantly being told that I need to find one.

It wasn't as if I never had a girlfriend … well I guess I didn't. But that isn't important , right? It's like I'm a virgin or anything because I'm not, it's just that I haven't found the one yet.

I know it sounds pretty cheesy but I'm telling the truth, my dating ,if you can call it that, life can be summed up in a hand full hookups and the occasional dinner hand a movie. The last time I did that was almost two months ago, and since then the guys have been talking none stop about my single life

Ugh, sometimes life is so stressful …

AT THE PARTY – ASTRID POV

It was now 11:30 and the party was reaching its full capacity. It was a miracle I could still breathe with all this students. For the past hour I have been carrying the same red cup and it still had half of its contains inside.

After watching Fishlegs literally drink his years in beer and vodka bottles, and seeing the way my partial geek friend lifting a table with 5 guys on top of it while singing the song 'Can't hold us'. I was starting to feel like the night couldn't became more stupid.

Of course Snot prove me wrong not twenty minutes later when he grabbed Tuffnut and use him has board to go from the top of the stairs to the ground. But before he could do that, Tuff decided he didn't want to be the board. The result two athletic guys falling down the stairs.

Luckily they were okay, a group of guys that were passing catch their fall.

Surprisingly Ruff wasn't completely drunk yet, choosing to play strip poker on one of the tables that were in the yard. She was pretty good at it cause the people who were playing with her were almost all reduce to underwear and socks.

'Too bad they weren't betting any money' I thought

I was currently next to Ruff while she played, she claimed I was giving her luck and I was too lazy to move.

All night guys have been hitting on me and it was starting to became really annoying. Every time a guy tried to talk to me was to compliment my figure or to try and get inside my pants, I mean were was the politeness in that shit? That made me think of Hiccup. 'he wouldn't have said that, he would have been a gentleman' I thought and it was true, he would have if he had come.

Maybe I should have asked him? But he did said he already had stuff to do. What kind of stuff? I asked myself. I been thinking on that almost all the night, a couple of times I thought in calling him, but I didn't wanted to sound lame or desperate. 'Desperate of what? You are only friends' I thought

Deciding I had to clear my thoughts I was about to tell Ruff I was going for a walk when she grabbed me.

"We need to go" she said with a very serious face

"What? Why? What happen?" I quickly asked it was not normal to see her like this, and I would be lying if I say it didn't scarred me

With the most serious and monotone voice I have ever heard her said, Ruff answer, "Fishlegs, Snotlout and my brother are going to make a tattoo and we need to see it"

I couldn't decide if I wanted to strangle Ruff or if I wanted to facepalm . I was about to do both when she pull me along the crowd of students and to Fishlegs car.

Inside the car was Fish, Snot and Tuff all drunk of their asses but with lazy smiles. Finally Snot said "Astrid please take us to a tattoo shop!"

"Are you crazy ! I won't be responsible for your stupidity !" I shouted. There was no way I was going to do that no way in hell

"Please I'm begging you, this could be our only chance of doing something awesome"

"Yeah the end to a perfect night!" yelled Tuff

I looked at Ruff to see if she could help me but I found her messing with the camera on her phone. It was clear on what side she was.

Trying once more to be the voice of reason I said " it's late Plus I don't know any Tattoo shop" I hope that would be sufficient

Once again I was proven wrong, this time by Fishlegs " We don't care that it is late, our classes tomorrow start only at 11:00 am, there is plenty of time to sleep"

I knew I was defeated, sighing I just mumble "I still don't know any Tattoo shop"

"There is no problem I know one just twenty minutes from here" Snot said

"Yeah … what is it called ?"

Snotlout stop for a moment to think, but then said "The Dragon's Den"

And that's a wrap… I know I should have write more but I'm feeling lazy

So what do you guys think it will happen in the next chapter? Will the guys get stupid tattoos ? will astrid find the identity of hiccup ? will someone die ?

All answers and more in the next chapter . chapter 6 – Night Fury strange night

PS: tell what kind of tattoos do you think they will get. I may take some suggestions up
