"Would You Care To Join Me"

"Run faster!" Ruffnut shouted behind her as she zipped through the forest, carrying her brother and Fishlegs clothes with her. Astrid was carrying Hiccup's for obvious reasons and poor Heather was forced to carry Snotlout's dirty and smelly rags, as she called them.

Even though they were running, Hiccup's arm was still fresh in their mind. The girls were listening to what the guys were talking about for possible blackmail but what they got was much more interesting. Astrid was shocked that he actually showed them his arm. She knew he was sensitive about it but maybe he wanted to trust them. He was probably taking a risk to see if those guys were worth to be his friends.

The same went for the girls. She didn't know if Ruffnut was trustworthy enough to keep that secret. Heather was obviously not going to tell because they were siblings after all. Just like Hiccup, all she could do was trust in them.

She was relieved when Hiccup didn't say everything because she didn't want to relive what happened inside Acne's hut. She still remembered Hiccup's screams and how his arm was crushed by the dust of the mechanical arm. She could still picture how the blood oozed from his arm and how his skin was being torn to shreds. It was a miracle by itself how most of his arm retained its skin.

As the Ruffnut and Heather ran infront of her, she thought of how to make this easier for Hiccup. After careful thinking, she decided that it was better that she returned his clothes or risk everyone in the whole village seeing his mechanical arm. The only problem was how to ditch the two girls. She had a plan but she hoped it would work.

"Hey guys! I think we're far enough, why don't we slow down and go on a moderate pace?" she suggested as she started stopped in place. Ruffnut and Heather also stopped and looked at Astrid.

Ruffnut put her finger under her chin to think "Hmm… Now that you mention it…"

"Come on Ruff, we'll be long gone before those boys realized that we took their clothes." She urged

"You're right! Now… what to do with these?" she gestured towards the clothes she was carrying.

Astrid saw this as an opportunity "Why don't we split up? With the three of us hiding these clothes in different places, the boys would have a hard time finding them. Not to mention they would have to search high and low for them"

"Let's not forget that we need to teach those boys some manners." Heather added with a smirk of her own.

Ruffnut laughed and slugged Heather on the arm, the latter staggering from the force "Now you're talking! With us three together, those boys would never know what'll hit em!" the girls faced each other and Ruffnut put her arm out in the middle "For being the dominant gender" she started

Astrid put her hand over Ruffnut's "For being the smarter one"

Heather looked them both in the eyes before smiling and putting both her hands over theirs "For being the less smelly one"

"Yeah!" they said in unison

"Ok, time for us to split up" Astrid said as she readied herself to run back to Hiccup

"Ready"

"Set"

"Go!" all girls ran in different directions. Astrid heading back to the forest, Ruffnut heading for the beach and Heather heading for the village.

-With the Boys-

"Oh Odin's beard" Fishlegs whispered as he covered himself with a giant branch with leaves. "I knew going with you guys was a bad idea, I just knew it!" he shivered as the night was getting near.

"Would you just shut the fuck up?" Snotlout snapped. He actually tied a giant leaf around his waist, looking like he was wearing a green skirt. "You're just making it worse!"

"Technically, it was yours and Tuffnut's faults. If you guys didn't fight then we wouldn't have been distracted and was able to keep our eyes peeled" Hiccup was not holding any leaves though. It was a good thing that he was still wearing his underwear when he jumped in. It still felt uncomfortable since it was still soggy from the water.

"Aw come on man" Tuffnut groaned "I said I was sorry." Tuffnut, he was not hiding himself. The other guys were trying their best not to look his way.

"For Odin's sake Tuffnut, would it really bother you to cover yourself?" Hiccup asked incredulously

Tuffnut just puffed his chest out "Nope… I never felt so free in my life!"

Snotlout smirked "Really? I just got to try that!"

But before he could remove the leaf, a voice intervened

"Remove that and you'll get Hel to pay" Astrid threatened

Hiccup was about to talk when he noticed the clothes in Astrid's hands

"Uhmm… Why do you have my clothes?" he asked. It took him a few seconds before it dawned on him "Don't tell me you're part of their plan too?"

Astrid smiled cheekily and looked at Hiccup up and down "Meh. I've seen better"

Snotlout walked infront of Hiccup and flexed his muscles "You're talking about me right?"

Astrid shook her head and pointed at Hiccup "What I meant was I saw him in better clothes. Or to be more specific, I saw him naked" she smirked as the guys there gaped at Hiccup while the latter was blushing deep crimson.

"Yo-you didn't have to te-tell them tha-that!" He stuttered as he finally felt more naked than the other boys.

"You mean… You got to… Oh gods!" Tuffnut pointed at Hiccup first, then at Astrid and before he could finish he grabbed his hair and cursed "Dude! That's another reason why Hiccup is more awesome than you!" Tuffnut laughed as he talked to Snotlout.

Snotlout gritted his teeth and stomped towards the village, muttering curse words.

Fishlegs just stood there, still in shock. "She saw you naked? But that's… that's… not right!" he finally said and he got everyone's attention "Aren't you supposed only allowed to see another person naked after you two wed?! This is so confusing!" he said as he grabbed his head because all this information was too much for him.

"Don't' worry about it Legs. You'll understand" Hiccup said as he finally put his clothes on. "Soon" he said knowingly

Fishlegs looked at him confusingly "What do you mean soon?"

Hiccup just clapped him on the back "Trust me on this, ok?" he then walked towards Astrid and grabbed her hand "Now, what's the plan?"

"Well, the plan is we should probably get to Heather before she hurts herself" she said as all of them started walking towards the village. Astrid was able to convince Tuffnut to cover himself because if he refused then she would make sure that the Thorston twins would be both females.

It took them about 15 minutes to get back to the village but when they got there, there was already a commotion in the docks.

They pushed their way through until they were now on the infront of the scene. They couldn't believe what was happening.

Stoick, on the docks, and Thuggery, still on his ship, was having a stare down while Heather was in the middle of both of them, midway in climbing a mast while holding Snotlout's underwear. She saw Hiccup and others and awkwardly waved at them, the hand she used was the one holding Snotlout's underwear. The guys waved back awkwardly.

This was not good.
